Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

But now he doesn't have time to explain this ability to everyone.

"Listen carefully, the battle plan is this: I, Izakawa, and Ryunosuke will not hide and will split up into three directions to divert the pursuing enemy. Since we're at our wit's end, it's highly likely that the enemy will split up and pursue us. This gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

"Isakawa, you move to the three o'clock direction, Ryunosuke, you move to the six o'clock direction, and I will move to the nine o'clock direction... Release your chakra fully, provoke but do not engage the enemy, run, run as far as you can, understand?"

"Yes, Patriarch." The two of them nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Once I've dealt with the enemies in my own direction, I'll immediately come to support you, so don't act rashly."

Concentrating the chakra of more than ten ninjas on two people is enough for them to sustain for a while. If Yumiya Gen moves fast enough and they are lucky enough, they may survive.

"The rest of you, hide deeper into the woods and don't show up until the battle is over."

After Hanemiya Genma finished speaking, several people looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end they said nothing.

At this point, what else could they say? Could they ask, "How can the clan leader, with his strength, defeat five fully-strength enemies?"

Who can't say this?

It's a fight for survival, so just do your best and leave the rest to fate... This is what most people here think at this moment.

Only Hanmiya Gen himself knew that his luring operation was not intended to commit suicide.

They cannot simply choose to die. You have to know that for the next action, Yumiya Gen has extracted most of the chakra of the tribesmen. After losing the chakra, they will become powerless to fight back. Once discovered by the enemy, a one-sided massacre will inevitably take place. There is no doubt about it.

"Okay, do you have any other questions?" Yu Gongyuan asked finally.

Everyone shook their heads. No matter what the next outcome would be, they were mentally prepared.

"Very good, then..."

"The action begins."

Chapter 3 Essence

After hiding the tribesmen who were too weak to fight in the deeper part of the jungle, the three people who served as bait moved quickly in the predetermined direction without making any disguise.

The enemy's pursuit is approaching, and Hanemiya Genma plans to divide them and defeat them one by one. The remaining two hope to sacrifice themselves in exchange for a less than sufficient sense of security for the remaining tribesmen.

As for whether the enemy will choose to disperse and pursue, Hanmiya Genma is basically certain that they will. The reason is not only the specific situation just mentioned, but also related to the current form of war.

At this time, the wars between ninjas mainly occurred between ninja clans. The ninja clans were the organizing bodies of the war. In many cases, ninjas only trusted their own clansmen. Others were either hostile forces or, at best, "neutral and hostile."

In this environment, the living conditions of every ninja clan are very harsh, which requires them to give priority to eradicating the problem completely and leaving no future troubles when taking action.

The Yumiya Gen clan is just a dying candle. Not to mention a breath, even normal breathing is enough to blow it out. In this case, there is neither concern nor risk in dividing the troops to pursue them.

They are just a small ninja clan, without bloodline limits or secret techniques, and have always been able to survive in the cracks. If you have to say that they are special, it can only be said that they are good at fire escape.

However, Fire Release is a type of ninjutsu with a huge gap between the upper and lower limits. Hamiya Gen is a ninja who is good at Fire Release, and Sarutobi and Uchiha are also ninjas who are good at Fire Release, but are they comparable?

The enemy of the Hamiya Gen clan comes from the Tsukawa clan, which is a medium-sized ninja clan that can mobilize more than one hundred ninjas. Its overall strength is indeed crushing compared to the Hamiya Gen clan... It was the Tsukawa clan that destroyed the Hamiya Gen clan's village.

If you ask if there is any historical origin or hatred between the two sides, it is not necessarily the case. The Jinchuan clan came here just to expand their own living space.

Big fish eat small fish. It is impossible for the Jinchuan clan to dream of squeezing out the living space of the big ninja clans. It can only turn its cruel side towards the weaker ninja clans.

After creating a certain distance from the tribe's hiding place, Hanemiya Genshin jumped and moved directly on the treetops, as if he was afraid that the enemy would not see him.

And what happened next was just as he wished, the enemy reconnaissance ninja soon discovered them.

In the northwest direction of the woods, the ninjas of the Tsukawa clan arrived as expected.

"Captain, we've spotted three enemies fleeing in different directions. One of them is likely the young clan leader who escaped not long ago. Aside from these three, I haven't spotted any remaining enemies... These three have most likely exposed themselves to distract us and buy time for the rest of us to escape."

The reconnaissance ninja who was leading the team in front quickly grasped the basic information that Hanediya Genma had voluntarily revealed, and he immediately reported it to the combat captain behind him.

The captain was a tall and strong ninja in his thirties. He listened to the reconnaissance ninja's report without stopping and said, "Bait tactics, or the same old clever tricks."

The scout ninja nodded and said, "Yes, Captain, they've already done this trick once."

"If nothing unexpected happens, most of the remaining enemies are hiding in this forest. They don't have the ability to move quickly. These three people acting as bait are probably their only remaining resistance. To put it in an extreme way, they only have these three ninjas who can move. As long as they are eliminated... Although this forest is vast, it will definitely become the burial place of all of them."

The captain's judgment was flawless. The so-called bait operation was merely a desperate struggle. The Yumiya Gen clan was doomed to destruction. The difference between bait and no bait was simply a matter of death being closer or farther, sooner or later.

"I remember that young clan leader. He's a pathetic little guy with a bit of cleverness, but his abilities can't support it... Follow my orders, divide into three teams of five people each and pursue. Leave the young clan leader to me, and the reconnaissance team will follow the remote team."

"Yes, Captain!"

The Jinchuan ninjas did not hesitate. They divided into three groups and prepared to eliminate the enemy's remaining manpower first.

Just as Hanemiya Genma expected, the enemy had dispersed their forces. Even more fortunately, the most powerful enemy captain led his troops directly towards him...

This choice is quite normal. After all, Hanediya Genma is now the patriarch of this ninja clan. He is the symbol of the entire ninja clan. His death can be regarded as a sign of the demise of the ninja clan. He will never be allowed to escape, so the enemy captain will do it himself.

Among these fifteen enemy ninjas, there is one comprehensive jonin, who is the captain; there are two special jonin, who serve as captains of the other two teams respectively; the rest are eight chunins and four genin used to assist. There is no doubt about their strength, they are absolutely capable of destroying the Hamiya Gen clan.

"Captain, he's just ahead."

As the distance between the two sides shortened, an enemy ninja shouted loudly.

The enemy was pursuing him with all their might, and Hanediya Genshin would slow down from time to time, so there was no reason for him not to be caught up.

"Surround them." said the captain.

Five enemies surrounded Hanemiya Genshin from different directions, and soon the latter was within the attack range of the former.

A sharp whistling sound was heard, and a kunai flew straight towards Hanemiya Genma's torso. He could only pause in mid-air, turn his head and twist his body to avoid the attack.

The enemy's attack missed, and Hanediya Genshin lost his footing due to the evasive action. His feet were empty and he fell directly into the bushes below.

But a strange thing happened. After falling down, Hanemiya Genshin disappeared.

"What happened? Disappeared?"

"Is it a clone? No, it's impossible."

The disappearance of Hanemiya Genma caused some confusion among the enemy ninjas, but the captain, with his vast combat experience, remained undeterred. Instead, he calmly stated, "Everyone, retreat to higher ground. Do not relocate again. Stay alert and observe carefully. Don't doubt yourself. The rat is hiding in this area below. It can't escape."

Under normal circumstances, as long as they didn't lose their composure, there was really no possibility for Hanemiya Genma to escape. However...

The Mayfly Technique is one of White Zetsu's most iconic abilities. This technique allows White Zetsu to merge his body with the earth and vegetation. On the premise of cutting off all breath, it can move to any place at high speed by intervening in organic networks such as plant roots and underground water flows in the soil. It can be called an assassination skill.

It is such an outrageous ninjutsu, but White Zetsu often only uses it for reconnaissance. What's even more outrageous is that this technique does not require hand seals when used, it is activated instantly!

At this moment, regardless of whether he is proficient or not, Hanemiya Genma is already able to use this ability in battle.

The enemy captain stood on a branch of a large tree, patiently observing the situation below. As an elite ninja who had experienced dozens of battles, he would not be fooled by appearances. No matter how well the enemy concealed their presence, as long as he used his stillness to counter the movement, his flaws would soon be revealed.

Whether in terms of combat power, experience, or battlefield judgment, the captain is far superior to Hanediya Genma. In his opinion, the latter is just a child playing ninja games.

But what he didn't know was that conventional experience can only deal with conventional battles. Accurate battlefield judgment will always fail. What use is it if the combat effectiveness is strong but cannot be exerted?

War does not give anyone room for trial and error.

Hanemiya Genma's figure appeared silently behind the captain. He was like a ghost, his figure was clearly visible but without any unnecessary presence. The enemy's keen five senses did not detect the slightest abnormality.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.

Hanemiya Genma's heart seemed to have stopped beating, and the brief moment before his atria began pumping blood again created the eternal separation between life and death.

He held the kunai in his right hand and stabbed it into the enemy's back without hesitation until the blade was completely embedded in the flesh. At the same time, he held the dagger in his left hand and stabbed it directly into the back of the opponent's neck. The thin and sharp sword body broke the joints between the spine without any hindrance, and pierced the man's throat diagonally downwards like piercing a piece of paper.

Even though the "Mayfly Technique" has unparalleled assassination capabilities, due to his proficiency level, Hanediya Genshin can only guarantee the success rate of his first use in this battle, so he set his sights on the strongest enemy.

And he succeeded.

This assassination was perfect. The enemy did not make any sound from beginning to end, nor did he offer any resistance. However, a ninja on the side who was highly concentrated and observing the ground turned around as soon as Hanediya Genma completed the assassination!

"Enemy attack!"

He shouted loudly.

As the voice fell, countless shurikens and kunai shot towards this side without distinguishing friend or foe.

Hanemiya Genma immediately hid his body behind the captain. There was nothing wrong with his assassination, so why was he discovered immediately?

Soon, he figured out the reason.

It was breathing. After being assassinated, the enemy captain's breathing became disordered. This disordered breathing is easily noticed in a quiet environment.

As expected of seasoned ninjas.

It seems that it is difficult to find an opportunity to assassinate the second person, but it doesn’t matter. Hanemiya Genma does not feel disappointed. He has achieved his most important goal - as long as he gets rid of the captain with the strongest combat power, he will have won half of the battle.

Kunai and shurikens kept piercing the flesh, and the sound of puffing never stopped. It can only be said that the remaining enemies were very rational and cold-blooded. After observing that the captain was dead, they carried out violent and indiscriminate attacks without any psychological barriers.

Well, actually, this is because Hanediya Genma overestimated them. At this time, the enemy's attacks were just mechanical reactions, or even some kind of stress.

They were shocked by the fact that the highest commander on the battlefield was suddenly assassinated. What was even more difficult to accept was that they had no idea how Haneda Genma moved behind the captain, nor did they know why the captain did not react at all when facing the assassination.

Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!

An enemy formed hand seals and cast a spell, and a huge water ball flew towards this side.

Seeing this, Hanemiya Genshin released the kunai that had pierced the enemy's kidney. Then, chakra burst out from his feet, and while he moved his body to dodge quickly to the left, he raised his right arm and hooked the hilt of the dagger that was still stuck in the enemy's neck.

The impact of the arm caused the hilt of the sword to rotate slightly, completely cutting off the enemy captain's neck.

It is a good habit to finish off the enemy, so that you can be 100% sure that the enemy will be killed.

Hanemiya Genshin flipped his body in mid-air and then landed lightly on the ground.

The captain's head shook slowly a few times, and finally left his neck reluctantly, falling to the feet of Hanemiya Genma like a heavy ball.

Bang.

The head hit the ground covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, making a slight and slightly dull sound.

At this moment, the enemies stopped attacking.

Hanemiya Genma grinned, and his tongue pressed hard against his slightly cracked lower lip. The expression on his face made him look like a pervert.

In his previous life, he grew up in a peaceful environment and had never fought with anyone since graduating from elementary school. His style of treating others with kindness, gentleness and honesty had always been his. He had never shown such a violent side in his life.

However, the fact that it has not appeared does not mean that it does not exist. After all, people are just people in the environment, and different environments will reflect different faces of a person.

Ninjutsu takes many forms, some even dazzling and colorful; illusions are pervasive, secretive, treacherous, and deadly; physical techniques, whether fierce or gentle, are the purest means of killing. However, putting aside these appearances, any war under any power system will sooner or later reveal its coldest nature:

Iron and blood.

Whether in the ninja world or elsewhere, war is nothing but iron and blood.

Chapter 4: Drag Fire (Part 1)

The head rolled to the ground, its face showing pain and a hint of confusion. Everything that had just happened was filled with a kind of unspeakable mockery...

For the enemy, this would undoubtedly be a fatal setback. A ninja with absolute confidence in his own abilities would always face such extreme reversals, and his death was only one of the inevitable costs.

First shocked and then angry, more shurikens shot towards Hanemiya Genma.

Hanediya Genshin had anticipated such an attack, so after landing, he did not hesitate at all. Chakra burst out from under his feet, and he rushed behind a big tree like a gust of wind, covering his body.

Puff puff puff, the rain of shuriken arrows pierced into the ground, then spread along the movement trajectory of Hanemiya Genma, and finally nailed the outside of the tree.

One enemy ninja didn't participate in the shuriken attack. He observed Hanemiya Genshin's movements and position, quickly forming hand seals, and then he only dodged two or three steps to the side, so Hanemiya Genshin, who was trying to dodge, was once again exposed to his shooting range:

Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!

Immediately afterwards, a huge water bomb hit Hanemiya Genshin.

Faced with such a wide range ninjutsu, Hanemiya Genshin was not panicked. He had been in the ninja world for a year. Although he was not experienced in battle, he at least had the basic qualities of a ninja.

He naturally brought his hands together, and his fingers naturally and smoothly formed seals to meet the attack:

Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!

An orange-red fireball with a diameter of more than two meters rushed straight towards the water ball that had already moved halfway into the water.

For the ninja clans that use fire jutsu, almost every clan has this kind of basic ninjutsu with similar hand seals, similar chakra flows, and similar effects. Even the names are similar... They are nothing more than great fireball, big fireball, explosive fireball, flame bomb, large flame bomb and so on.

Fire struck water, the flames extinguished and the water boiled. With a continuous sizzling sound, the scale and power of the two ninjutsu canceled each other out. Thick white steam, stirred up by the high temperature, quickly flowed and spread through the dense forest, largely obscuring the ninjas' vision.

The enemy's perception ninja is not here, so the environment becomes more favorable to Hanejiro Genshin - the obstruction of vision eliminates the enemy's numerical advantage, and Hanejiro Genshin is good at backstabs.

He leaned sideways toward the tree trunk behind him, and the Mayfly Technique was activated again. Like a good swimmer diving into the water, his body gradually merged into the tree trunk.

Relying on his recent memory, Hanemiya Genshin moved quickly through the woods and the ground, and soon he found the ninja who was fighting him with water escape.

Silently, he arrived behind the enemy. As luck would have it, the enemy was slowly retreating, his back pressed directly against a large tree. This was the right choice. With his vision severely obstructed, leaning against cover could effectively prevent a sneak attack from behind.

But this time he overreached.

Hanemiya Genshin's upper body emerged from the tree trunk above. He stretched out his arms like a ghost, and with his right arm firmly gripped the enemy's neck, his left arm quickly moved in front of the opponent and, like pounding rice cakes, he pounded the man's chest twenty or thirty times continuously, quickly, and violently.
