Chapter 91 [Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon]! (Seven chapters, 2.3 words, please subscribe for the first time)

Just as the [Shadow Clone] captured Ebizo alive.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Clone, using the concealment effect of the Shadow Concealment Technique, had silently approached the Sand Village's puppet troops.

As he watched the puppet troops fleeing at breakneck speed, various tactical plans flashed through Nara Rinkei's mind.

next moment.

His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals. A massive amount of chakra within the [Chakra Crystal] resonated out, spreading and affecting the surrounding environment.

Centered on Nara Rinka's position, an absolute dark space, devoid of any light, descended instantly, encompassing all of Sunagakure's puppet troops.

[Darkness Travel Technique]!

"Stop! Something's wrong!"

The experienced Chiyo stopped immediately upon sensing the approaching darkness and gave an order.

But at this moment, she was all alone in her sensory world. Her companions had completely lost their location information, and all that remained was a chilling, boundless darkness.

Is this an illusion?

Chiyo quickly formed hand seals, attempting to awaken herself, but her illusion-breaking seals had no effect.

Fortunately, the darkness seemed to only block vision, not completely block the transmission of sound.

Chiyo could hear the constant responses from her subordinates.

"Lady Chiyo! I'm alright!"

"Everything's fine here! Where's everyone?"

"I—damn it!"

Before Yekura could finish speaking, her tone suddenly turned furious, as if she was about to unleash her signature bloodline limit ability.

"Burning—"

But at that moment, Yekura's rationality barely returned, and she held back the "Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill" that was about to be released.

"What, are you not going to use that incredibly destructive Scorch Release technique?"

Nara Rinka's calm and composed voice rang out in the darkness.

"I can assure you that there is not a single Sand Village ninja in your current attack direction."

Ye Cang nearly gritted her teeth to pieces. She abandoned the hand seals, covered her right arm with her left hand, and blood gushed out from her right arm, a faint smell of blood permeating the dark space.

Just moments ago, as Yekura was falling into darkness, a small dagger that appeared out of nowhere suddenly stabbed towards her.

If it weren't for Yekura's extensive combat experience, which allowed her to instinctively dodge to the side, she probably would have already been pierced through by that dagger!

[Sora no Tachi]!

Nara Rinkazu's mind stirred slightly, and a small katana, with an understated yet ornate appearance, flew into his palm from a distance.

The blade is jet black, sharp and straight, with openwork patterns engraved on the dark gold guard. The pure black hilt is wrapped with a blue-purple handle, with only a perfectly sized hexagonal hole remaining at the end of the hilt.

[Rank B Ninja Tool: Little Jizo]

[Ninja Tool Description: An outstanding work by the master swordsmith of the Land of Iron, forged from rare and precious chakra metal]

[Ninja Tool Effect: Allows for near-loss, high-speed transmission of Yin Release chakra while preserving the wielder's input; also provides excellent transmission of chakra of other natures.]

[Ninja Tool Evaluation: Short Sword; the one I'm carrying below is a short sword]

"Yakura has been attacked, and by the same Konoha ninja as before!"

Through that brief exchange, Chiyo quickly analyzed the cause of the situation.

"How did that Konoha ninja catch up so quickly... Will Ebizo be alright?"

A feeling of concern welled up inside her, but Chiyo quickly suppressed it.

If the darkness here cannot be dealt with or resolved, her fate may not be much better than Ebizo's.

A series of ideas flashed through Chiyo's mind. She gritted her teeth, disregarding the need to reveal her own tactics and strategies, and shouted in a loud voice.

"Everyone, release your puppets! Form a protective barrier around yourselves! And connect with the surrounding puppets and ninjas as much as possible! Together, we will break through this dark area!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chiyo kept sniffing the faint smell of blood in the air, trying to pinpoint its exact source, and then she joined Yokura.

Bang!Bang!

A series of peculiar sounds followed.

One puppet after another was summoned from the scroll by the Sand Village ninjas, guarding their side and taking the opportunity to explore their surroundings.

Nara Rinka watched the Sand Village ninjas' self-rescue efforts quietly without intervening.

Although he was unable to use his family's Shadow Technique when he was in the Darkness Movement Technique, which is an environment of absolute darkness.

However, other types of ninjutsu have no such restrictions.

Nara Rinkei did indeed have methods to prevent the Sand Village ninja from escaping, and not just one.

The reason he stopped taking action was that after using so many ninjutsu and secret techniques, his chakra level had dropped to near the warning line.

With the help of various means, Nara Rinkei's chakra reserves were indeed far beyond those of ordinary people.

But he wasn't a "Jinchūriki" after all, so he couldn't squander his chakra at will without worrying about recovery issues.

Maintaining a certain amount of chakra ensures basic combat effectiveness, thus avoiding the risk of being caught off guard and losing the battle.

Therefore, Nara Rinkei focused his attention solely on Yokura and Chiyo.

With his current chakra reserves, it would be difficult for him to eliminate all the Sand Village ninja.

But if it's just about solving the problem for two people...

It might be worth a try!

Compared to Chiyo, whose depths are hard to discern.

Yekura had consumed a lot of chakra in the previous battle and had just been injured by [Little Jizo], making her an easier "easy target".

Nara Rinka secretly moved through the darkness, quickly approaching the location of Yokura.

The injury to his right arm directly affected his ability to perform hand seals.

Yecang knew that his condition was very poor, and his overall strength was less than one-tenth of what it was when he was healthy.

At this moment, all she could do was to be as vigilant as possible and use her still-functioning legs to dodge the attacks that erupted from the darkness.

However, the surrounding environment was pitch black, and Yekura herself was not a sensory-type ninja.

Even with her eyes wide open, she couldn't see Nara Rinka approaching.

After getting close to the Sand Village Jonin, considering the need for secrecy, Nara Rinkei did not use any powerful techniques. He simply raised his palm and gathered a certain amount of Yang Release chakra.

It's too late to say.

Nara Rinka's hand brushed across Yekura's neck like a gentle breeze, while the condensed Yang Release chakra transformed into a powerful nerve current, impacting Yekura's brain through the vagus nerve in his neck.

Just a second ago, Yekura was warily staring at the dark surroundings.

The next second, his eyes rolled back and he fell into a deep coma.

This meticulous technique of inducing unconsciousness was a special skill that Nara Rinkei learned from Tsunade.

It may seem useless, but it can actually play a huge role in certain situations.

You have defeated the B-rank ninja combat objective!

You have obtained a Grade B [Ninja Scroll]!

"Another Jonin from Sunagakure has been captured alive."

Nara Rinka grabbed Yogura and casually stuffed a secret-made pill that suppressed chakra into her mouth.

"And she's a ninja with a special bloodline limit... This is a real treasure!"

It has been confirmed that Yekura no longer poses any threat.

Nara Rinka shifted his gaze to Chiyo, who was manipulating a puppet and slowly approaching him, and silently raised his right hand towards her.

A black energy ball with its surface spinning at supersonic speed appeared in his palm; it was the [Shadow Piercing Bullet] that had been incorporated into the [Rasengan].

Its current name is—

[Rank A Spell: Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon]

[Spell Description: Self-developed spell, advanced shadow magic]

[Technique Effect: Infuses one's own Yin Release chakra into the shadow, materializing it into an incredibly hard, high-speed spiral projectile. The initial velocity of the projectile can exceed the speed of sound, possessing immense destructive power.]

[Tactical Evaluation: Caliber is justice, range is truth!]

tom!

The sound of the Spiral Shadow Cannon firing was rather muffled.

The moment the pitch-black spiral energy ball was launched, its shape rapidly expanded and changed in mid-air, transforming into a semi-hollow black energy bullet that vaguely resembled a slender spindle, which fiercely attacked Chiyo.

Chiyo keenly observed the unusual movement coming from ahead, and she subconsciously manipulated several ordinary puppets around her to shield her.

However, these puppets were like fragile eggs deliberately crashing into a rock in the face of the high-density, high-destructive Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon effortlessly pierced through the bodies of puppets, and the parts that made up the puppets turned into fragments that flew in all directions, while the power of the "Instigator" showed no signs of weakening.

Through the connection of chakra threads, Chiyo was able to clearly sense that her puppet was being damaged by a mysterious attack.

However, the shroud of the [Darkness Travel Technique] made it impossible for her to accurately observe the movements ahead.

In the end, Chiyo could only subconsciously raise her right hand.

Four evenly spaced cracks appeared on Chiyo's right forearm, and delicate pieces of wood, indistinguishable from human flesh, surrounded her fist, blooming angrily like flower petals, forming a very special "cross shield".

Chiyo's own chakra surged out through this special "cross shield," forming a semi-transparent circular chakra shield in front of her.

Machine-optical shield seal!

The seemingly indestructible "energy shuttle" collided violently with the seemingly unbreakable "energy shield" of the mechanical shield seal in mid-air, with a blinding light flashing and disappearing in an instant.

Boom—!!

A deafening collision erupted instantly.

The surging air currents spread outwards from the point of collision between the two spells, as if a violent gale had suddenly arisen in the dark environment.

Nara Rinka narrowed her eyes and looked in Chiyo's direction.

Under the protection of the "Machine Light Shield Seal", Chiyo almost perfectly defended against the attack of the [Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon] without suffering any damage.

"This strange chakra shield is incredibly strong defensively!"

Nara Rinka sensed the remaining Yin Release chakra within his body and extinguished the idea of ​​firing another [Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon].

"Why haven't the reinforcements from Konoha arrived yet? I've been holding off these Sand Village ninja for so long!"

Just as Nara Rinka was considering what to do next.

A memory suddenly flooded his mind; it was a message from the [shadow clone] that had brought Ebizo back to Kikyo Castle.

"The Iwagakure ninja have joined the night raid!"
