Chapter 25 Three Breakthroughs in One Second
Shiba Kiyokawa quickly swept past the Sunagakure troops.
There were four enemies in total: besides Yekura, there was a foul-mouthed and arrogant puppeteer, a lone man posing on the highest treetop, and a taciturn ninja with a sword who took the initiative to surround them from the side.
Unfortunately, reality isn't a game; enemies don't display your ninja rank on your forehead.
Kiyokazu Shiba can only make judgments based on some details of actions and personal intuition.
The man in the treetop had a lot of influence, so he seemed to be quite powerful.
The Sand Ninjas surrounding the flanks don't reveal their strength, but they seem to be the most emotionally stable, with a generally calm and collected mindset.
The puppeteer directly opposite, despite his arrogant and boastful manner, was actually the slowest among the Sunagakure members when he appeared, a typical example of someone who was weak but had a sharp tongue.
With a slight movement of his eyes, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately selected his target for breakthrough.
He deliberately mocked loudly, "Ha! The Sand Village, the bottom of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, a spineless dog that gets thrashed by Konoha in every Shinobi World War, dares to spout such nonsense here?"
At the same time, he put one hand behind his back, avoiding the enemy's line of sight, and secretly gave hand signals to his teammates—
Keep your distance and focus your attention on the puppeteer!
Shiba Kiyokawa's taunt hit the nail on the head, immediately breaking the temper of the hot-tempered puppeteer, Kurenai.
"What did you say, brat?!"
Their captain tried to stop them, "Wait!"
Although the captain was arrogant, he knew in his heart that their most important mission was to obtain supplies and money; fighting and killing were just means, not ends.
But the puppeteer was no longer listening to any of that.
"You mere Rain Ninja dare to look down on us?! You think you're worthy?"
The puppeteer immediately waved his hand, pulling the chakra threads, and manipulated a humanoid puppet to pounce on Shiba Kiyokawa!
"What a terrible mentality." Shiba Kiyokazu chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, he pretended to be outmatched and leaped back.
"Don't run!"
The puppeteer then took off chasing after them, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the front of the group.
While wielding his sword to parry the various flying needles, senbon needles, and shuriken shot by the puppets, Shiba Kiyokawa calmly used his eyes to calculate the distance.
Only when he saw his opponent stepping onto the death line did he quickly stop, shouting, "Now!"
In an instant, sharp paper javelins rained down from the sky; giant earthworm spirit beasts sprang from the ground and bound the puppeteer; Raven Feather also unleashed lightning in coordination, while simultaneously drawing his sword and charging towards the enemy!
Xiao's multiple members coordinated their attacks and landed in an instant, forming a net that left the puppeteer with no way to escape!
For a moment, he seemed to hallucinate a giant "death" character rushing towards him!
"What?! Help me, Captain! Canaan! Yekura! Help me!!"
The puppeteer's screams were shattered.
The captain of the Sand Village squad stared in disbelief!
He was about to use his teleportation technique to rush to the rescue when several hidden paper butterflies suddenly flew out from the branches of the trees around him and exploded one after another, slowing down his movements.
This was naturally Xiao Nan's doing!
In the end, only Yekura, who was originally at the back of the team, made a late but rapid advance, dodging several paper butterflies and overtaking her two useless teammates in an instant.
He was just one step away from rushing to the puppeteer's side and saving him.
However, just before she took that final step, a man and a knife appeared in front of her!
It's Shiba Kiyokazu!
From the moment they met until now, although Yekura hasn't said a word, Shiba Kiyokawa's attention has always been focused on her!
With a single swing of his sword, he forced Ye Cang back.
Then, as his opponent did two backflips to create distance, Shiba Kiyokawa did not pursue, but instead cautiously chose to continue observing.
Seeing that a fireball next to Ye Cang had changed its trajectory, he immediately and without hesitation abandoned his sword and formed hand seals!
Substitution Technique!
Sure enough, the next moment, one of the fireballs floating behind Yekura's head suddenly accelerated and shot towards Shiba Kiyokawa in an instant!
"Sizzle!"
In an instant, the sound of water vapor violently evaporating rang out from Shiba Kiyokawa's body, and his body turned into a charred corpse in a flash, followed by a "bang".
It was then turned into a wooden stake.
Yecang narrowed his eyes after creating some distance, revealing a somewhat surprised expression.
"Very cautious, Amegakure."
A normal ninja wouldn't have so readily and decisively used the Substitution Jutsu in a situation that seemed to offer them an advantage.
The cautious ninja Shiba Kiyokawa picked up the sword he had just thrown away, but did not answer. He simply continued to stare intently at Yekura.
Yekura's signature technique, "Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill," can evaporate all the water in a target's body in an instant, making it incredibly lethal to all carbon-based life forms, so he has no choice but to be cautious.
What makes it even more difficult is that the original text does not provide a solution to this problem.
Because in the story, Yekura was subdued by his talk-no-jutsu, and no one could break his technique, leaving Shiba Kiyokawa with no homework to copy.
Fortunately, he's not the one in a hurry right now.
Behind him, the puppeteer's screams abruptly stopped; he was about to die.
This was immediately followed by the Sand Village captain's angry question, "Yakura, why didn't you save them?!"
Hearing the aloof Sand Ninja who had been standing on high ground rebuke Yekura in this way, Shiba Kiyokawa vaguely grasped something and revealed a mocking smile.
"I see. So you were sent to the Land of Rain because you were ostracized? Poor hero, Ms. Yekura."
He deliberately didn't lower his voice; with a ninja's five senses, it was enough for everyone on both sides to hear him.
In an instant, the Sand Village captain was shocked and furious, while Yekura's face was gloomy.
Following the puppeteer, another member of the Sand Village team is on the verge of losing control of their emotions.
With just two sentences, she broke through the defenses of three people. Shiba Kiyokawa's ability to spot weaknesses clearly shows that she is a veteran swordswoman.
"That's enough with the empty talk, Rain Ninja!"
As he spoke, Yekura drew his kunai, suddenly activated it, and charged towards Shiba Kiyokawa once again!
The speed was even faster than before!
This time, Yekura was really angry!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Seeing this, Konan quickly threw a row of paper javelins to support Shiba Kiyokawa, but they were all easily vaporized by a fireball thrown by Yekura.
Shiba Kiyokawa threw his sword aside and formed hand seals.
"Clone Technique!"
The clone charges forward headfirst, while the main body catches the blade and retreats.
He dared not approach Yecang until he found a way to counter the Scorching Release technique.
Yekura wielded two kunai in his hands, using sharp attacks to suppress Shiba Kiyokawa's multiple clones at the same time.
Meanwhile, the two remaining fireballs around her swirled like floating cannons, operating on their own and automatically targeting enemies, assisting Yekura in continuously shattering Shiba Kiyokawa's clones.
The scene looked extremely dangerous!
Just as Yekura was about to clear out the clones in less than two seconds and rush to Shiba Kiyokawa's side, the solution to the Scorching Release still seemed far away.
Is there really no way to resolve this?
Shiba Kiyokawa's mind raced. He cautiously exchanged a couple of blows with Yekura, not daring to fight head-on, and kept retreating, his attention constantly focused on the two terrifying fireballs.
Yekura's anger was still burning.
"Heh, your sword is far inferior to your mouth. Is this all you've got, you Rain Ninja brat?"
Enraged, Yecang, who had been silent, also began to mock.
Unfortunately, its destructive power is far inferior to Shiba Kiyokawa's previous triple-hit combo in one second.
Shiba Kiyokawa remained calm!
Impatience solves nothing.
Besides, they've already gained an advantage over the other party, so they don't need to be the ones who are anxious, angry, or on the verge of losing their temper.
He continued to observe intently and think deeply!
How exactly can carbon-based life forms break free from the scorching escape and super-evaporation kill of rapid dehydration?
Until—he noticed that the last two fireballs surrounding Ye Cang had finally dimmed in color after several attacks and were about to disappear.
Just then, Yekura slowed down her attack and put her hands behind her back!
In an instant, Shiba Kiyokawa's eyes lit up, and his gaze suddenly sharpened!
He realized—the key to cracking the code had finally been revealed!
