Chapter 70: If Light Travels so Fast, How Come It’s Never Caught a Ninja
(ED note: The title is a reference to the League of Legends character Shen)
This was the first time Uehara had seen Konan take action.
Konan was like a dancer, flying through the battlefield with sheets of origami turning into paper rain, shooting out from the paper wings behind her!
A few of the Root ninjas were unprepared. The paper rain shot through their body in an instant, and blood splashed out!
“Doton, Doryuheki!” (Earth Release: Earth Wall)
An earthen wall rose from the ground to block the paper rain.
But the thickness of this earth wall wasn’t enough to withstand the paper rain for too long. At most, it could last a few seconds before the paper rain destroyed it.
“Scatter!”
Yamanaka Fu screamed and ducked to the side!
The other ninjas also followed his orders, each looking for a safe spot. A moment later, the paper rain destroyed the earthen wall!
“Katon, Gokakyu no Jutsu!” (Fire Release: Fireball Technique)
“Futon, Toppa!” (Wind Release: Wind Breakthrough)
Two of the Root ninjas immediately began counterattacking!
The combination of Wind ninjutsu and Fire ninjutsu set a raging flame charging into the sky, forcing Konan to fly upward to avoid the waves of fire.
Yamanaka Fu glanced at the rushing Uehara and pointed at Konan in the air, “Team 17, 18, 20, and I would be responsible for dealing with the enemy in the air, team 15 and 16 will clean up those kids!”
“Yes, Captain!”
The Konoha ninjas didn’t hesitate after hearing the order and instantly dispersed to complete their goals.
“Futon, Kazekiri no Jutsu!” (Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique)
“Futon, Shinkugyoku!” (Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere)
“Futon, Shinku Renpa!” (Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Wave)
Root ninjas took turns releasing ninjutsu. In just a few seconds, relying on their numerical advantage, they used their ninjutsu to suppress Konan’s offensive briefly.
Seeing that the time was right, Yamanaka clasped his hands and aimed at Konan’s figure, planning to use his secret clan technique.
Just when they were about to activate it, the two ninjas teams responsible for Uehara fell into disarray!
“Raiton, Slicing Maelstrom!”
Uehara uses his most familiar skill to fight the two teams of Root ninjas head-on!
Faced with Uehara’s lightning ninjutsu, the teams 15 and 16 quickly dispersed.
They didn’t care about it at first and just used Substitution Jutsu or clones to counter the lightning attack. Some ninjas didn’t even dodge and were hit by the lightning, disdainful of its power.
One of the stronger Root ninjas spoke, “Don’t worry, the power of this technique was very weak…” as another bolt of lightning fell on him.
Stab!
The third bolt of lightning struck him!
The tall ninja instantly fell to the ground, unable to move!
The person who was arrogant moments ago was now unable to resist and could only let the lightning continue to strike him. A few seconds later, he stopped making sounds…
Everyone, “…”
What’s with this situation?
Three seconds of arrogance?
If the Root ninja hadn’t known that his teammates would not betray them and not personally experienced Uehara’s thunder ninjutsu, they would suspect that the guy was a spy…
Sending false information on the battlefield was asking for death!
Especially in this grave of a situation!
“Don’t underestimate the enemy!”
Uehara stood under the thundercloud storm, looking down at the two teams of Konoha ninjas, and said, “A powerful ninja like me never cared much for fighting with you. Why are you underestimating me?”
What an excellent taunt!
Unfortunately, Konoha’s Root didn’t have time to care about Uehara’s taunt. They were still avoiding the lightning??, trying to get out of this situation.
“Doton, Sukaikaba!” (Earth Release: Earth Sky Cover)
“Doton, Ganchuro no Jutsu!” (Earth Release: Earth Pillar Prison Technique)
A massive weird pot lid appeared above their heads, while several strong rock pillars supported the pot lid to help them withstand the lightning attack!
“As expected of Shimura Danzo’s subordinates, they’re so proficient in carrying the pot…” (ED Note: This means taking the blame)
A smile appears in the corner of Uehara’s mouth. The next moment his smile disappeared, and he closed his hand and formed a beautiful set of hand seals, “Suiton, Tidal Waves!”
Waves were coming!
“Doton, Doryuheki!” (Earth Release: Earth Wall)
A heavy earthen wall suddenly rose up to stop the waves!
The two Root ninja teams and Uehara fought back and forth. After facing Uehara’s surprise attack, they finally felt that they had stabilized the situation.
However, the immature but devilish voice resounded in their ears again, “There was no dog’s head on your earth wall… I’m giving a bad review.”
Boom!
The sound of the exploding tags explosion resounded in their ears!
The thick soil wall was cracking, inch by inch!
The surging waves swept all the Root ninjas immediately. After that, lightning fell on them one after another, instantly wiping out both teams of Root Ninja!
The massive cover fell to the ground stirring up all the mud…
After Uehara dealt with his enemy, he began to look at his system panel. The system updated the progress of some of his side missions.
[Advanced Mission 4: Kill ten official Jonin (3/10)]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Side Mission: Destroy a team of Konoha Root members (1/1)]
[Reward: skill Wordless Fear]
[Wordless Fear: Use Chakra to create and implant a nightmare into the enemy’s brain, causing them to experience their worst nightmare for 2 seconds. Consumes 60 Chakra. Cooldown, 10 seconds.]
Uehara was a little astonished by the Wordless Fear skill. Did he just get a genjutsu control skill?
That’s a bit weird…
From the looks of it, he felt that the mental damage this skill could do to the enemy might be higher than Uchiha Itachi’s Tsukuyomi, and the scope of application and personnel were broader!
After all, Itachi knew what his brother was most afraid of, so Tsukuyomi could be used to bully his brother. Forcing his brother to experience the night of genocide again and again. Otherwise, Itachi could only tie people to the cross and stab them with a knife…
But the Wordless Fear skill that Uehara had would find the deepest wound on a person’s heart and sprinkle salt on it! contemporary romance
No matter who it was, they would always have fears.
For example, what Uchiha Obito feared the most was the death of Nohara Rin. For example, What Black Zetsu feared the most was that he couldn’t save Otsutsuki Kaguya…
Uehara felt pretty good when he met an Uchiha who dared to use Sharingan on him, he could retaliate with a nightmare!
Wordless Fear was a useless skill in actual combat, but if it were used to torture people…
Suddenly a mission popped up.
The mission font was purple, indicating that the mission was not easy.
[Hidden Inheritance Mission: If light travels so fast, how come it’s never caught a ninja? Say the correct name (0/1)]
Obviously, this clue was related to a ninja.
This was the first mission of its kind that Uehara had seen.
When Uehara saw that sentence, the first thought that came to mind was the similar sentence that Danzo said, “You were the leaves bathing in the sun. I am the Roots that grow in the dark”.
“Shimura Danzo!”
Uehara said the name confidently.
He was ready to accept the ninjutsu that Danzo was good at. Even if he didn’t have Izanagi and the like, he should still get a set of ninjutsu, right?
The system did not respond.
Uehara was silent for a while, then changed his mind and opened his mouth again, “The Leader of Kinkou Order, The Eyes of Twilight, Shen…”
When he said the second name, the system panel gave a prompt.
[Mission complete. You have unlocked the Legacy of Heroes.]
Four skills appeared on his status panel.
[Twilight Blade: Summon a Chakra Soul Blade that can be used to attack. Consumes 2 Chakra per second.]
[Spirit’s Refuge: Activate a defensive enchantment through the soul blade. Teammates within range of the defensive enchantment can not be harmed for 2 seconds. Consumes 40% of your maximum Chakra. Cooldown, 15 seconds.]
[Shadow Dash: Perform an unstoppable sprint in a specific direction. Consumes 150 Chakra. Cooldown 15 seconds.]
[Stand United: Duplicate skill detected. Removed.]
