Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

"They actually dared to use explosive tags to set up a trap?" Sarutobi Asuma was both frightened and puzzled.

Explosive tags are powerful and expensive, making them extremely valuable to genin (lower-ranking ninja).

Kurenai observed the aftermath of the trap's explosion and said, "It was probably a low-quality detonator; its power wasn't particularly great."

As she spoke, she bent down and picked up a stone. The three of them stepped back a few paces, and Kurenai Yuhi aimed at the thin line on the ground from a distance and gently tossed it.

As the thin line snapped on the stone, the next second, with the sound of the machine turning, a basin of kerosene was suddenly poured down from above.

"Hu~~"

Flames roared, and heat waves swept across the face.

Sarutobi Asuma swallowed hard and looked at Shingetsu Seiun beside him with a sigh.

"They really value you."

"If it's this exaggerated at the beginning, won't it get even more exaggerated later on?"

Even the Divine Moon Nebula didn't know.

Kurenai thought for a moment and said, "Probably not."

"The consumption is too great."

Soon after, the fire at the entrance was finally extinguished, and Shingetsu Seiun entered first, followed cautiously by Sarutobi Asuma and the other two.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any more traps for the rest of the journey. It's unclear whether this was because Sarutobi Asuma led them down a sharp bend, or if the enemy knew that setting traps along the way was too inefficient.

However, even without the threat of traps, their journey was not smooth.

There are too many animals in the Death Forest.

Poisonous insects, wild beasts, and even strange plants slowed the three of them down.

"Whoosh!"

With a single sword stroke, he cleaved the venomous snake that had been flung towards his calf in two. Suddenly, Shenyue Xingyun stopped in her tracks on a tree.

"What's wrong, Nebula?" Kurenai landed beside him. "Why did you stop?"

Shen Yue Xingyun frowned slightly: "Something's not right."

"What, did you find something?" Sarutobi Asuma stopped beside him.

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun explained, "There are too many poisonous insects."

“We encountered snakes, insects, rodents, and even rabbits that pounced on me along the way.”

Sarutobi Asuma: "You mean the animals here are too fierce?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "I mean, these animals shouldn't be so aggressive."

"Even venomous snakes generally do not attack animals that are significantly different in size."

Just as he was speaking, a huge gecko quickly crawled along the tree trunk and arrived at Kurenai's feet in a moment, pouncing on her ankle.

Pshaw!

A flash of sword light, and the gecko was split in two.

Shenyue Xingyun gripped her longsword tightly and said, "Have you noticed?"

"These animals seem to be attacking us from under our feet."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma immediately took off his shoes, glanced at the soles, and then brought them to his nose to smell.

"Yue~" Sarutobi Asuma stumbled: "It smells good."

Shenyue Xingyun frowned: "Hmm, I can see that."

Sarutobi Asuma bowed and waved his hand: "No, I mean, the soles of the shoes have a different smell."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun also lifted his feet and fanned himself with his hand.

"It seems to have a sweet taste."

Kurenai quickly replied, "Me too."

Then, her expression changed!

"There's something on the soles of our shoes that attracts these animals to attack!"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded.

"Change your shoes."

"If you don't have shoes, cover them up with something."

As the three of them changed their shoes, Sarutobi Asuma was still wondering.

When were our shoes tampered with?

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment: "It should be the entrance."

"The entrance?" Sarutobi Asuma asked, puzzled. "I didn't find anything unusual."

At that moment, Kurenai suddenly said, "I know of a potion."

"After being heated to high temperatures, it will attract attacks from animals."

Upon hearing this, the group thought of the burning oil at the entrance.

Sarutobi Asuma exclaimed, "So, there wasn't just one trap at the entrance."

"That guy, Shuimu, is really cunning."

"And they're really going all out," Kurenai Yuhi added. "This potion is even more expensive than explosive tags."

"As far as I know, the Mizuki family isn't a powerful clan either." As she spoke, Kurenai couldn't help but look at Seiun Kamitsuki, asking suspiciously, "For him to go to such lengths to set up a trap, did you also steal his girlfriend?"

Chapter 89 Drawing the Sword

"Nonsense." Shenyue Xingyun's face darkened.

"That guy probably just really wants to be promoted to Chunin."

The two of them pursed their lips, it was unclear whether they believed it or not.

Continue on your way.

This time, they were finally no longer attacked by snakes and insects.

“The road ahead should be easier,” Sarutobi Asuma said.

Upon hearing this, Kurenai couldn't help but say, "Asuma, don't talk nonsense."

"Have you forgotten about the last mission?"

Sarutobi Asuma's face stiffened.

"That was a coincidence. A coincidence!"

"I'm not a jinx, how could I possibly..." "Roar!!!" A huge roar came from the distant forest.

A series of muffled rumbling sounds came from the ground, accompanied by a faint tremor. Birds took flight in fright, and small animals scurried away. The rumbling sound quickly drew closer.

Kurenai Yuhi glared at him: "Asuma! You still say you're not a jinx!"

Sarutobi Asuma was on the verge of tears.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Stop talking and get out of the way."

The rapidly approaching tremors grew stronger, and the group dared not be careless. They kept tapping their feet on the tree trunks and quickly moved to the side.

Based on the direction from which the vibrations came, the owner of the roar should have avoided them.

However, before they could run very far, with another roar, the source of the tremor suddenly shifted and continued to approach the three of them.

"What's going on!?" Sarutobi Asuma asked in surprise.

"They're after us?"

As they spoke, the source of the tremor drew near.

They saw clearly that it was a huge brown bear, five or six meters tall.

The opponent stood up like a moving house, almost as tall as a tree trunk, roaring as it opened its blood-red maw, its eyes fierce.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Sarutobi Asuma immediately sensed something was wrong.

"This thing is coming for us."

"How to do?"

The size difference is too great; there's no way to fight.

Five or six meters in height may not sound like much, and it can't compare to the terrifying height of the legendary tailed beasts, which are tens or hundreds of meters tall. But only when you face it in person do you realize how terrifying a five or six-meter-tall behemoth is.

Given the size of the three people, if they stood in front of the giant bear, they wouldn't even be able to reach its crotch; their entire bodies wouldn't be much bigger than one of the bear's paws.

Explosive tags and shurikens are a joke in the face of a behemoth.

Gripping the twin blades tightly in his hands, Sarutobi Asuma was genuinely panicked.

His double-edged swords weren't powerful enough to cut through rock, and he really wasn't confident against the giant bear before him.

Wait a minute! He has another trick up his sleeve!

As if he had just thought of something, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes narrowed, and then he shouted at Shinzuki Seiun and Yuhi Kurenai.

"You two, step back!"

"Leave it to me!"

Then, to the astonishment of the two, Sarutobi Asuma stood on the tree, his hands forming a hand seal.

"Fire Escape·Ashes Burning!"

"Chichi~"

Chakra transformed into wisps of smoke and was exhaled from Sarutobi Asuma's mouth.

He stood atop a tall tree trunk, exhaling smoke as he dodged the giant bear's attacks.

Sarutobi Asuma's heart was pounding.
