One of the ninjas gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Among these three, only he knew Water Style, which could counter Fire Style. Now he was the only one who could withstand it.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" He formed hand seals with both hands and spewed out a water wall from his mouth.
"Pfft!" The fireballs slammed into the water wall and were extinguished instantly, but the shuriken inside rotated out, instantly piercing the three of them into hedgehogs.
"They actually hid shuriken inside the fireballs. Captain, you're a pitfalls. This kid clearly still has chakra......" One of the ninjas let out a reluctant roar. After complaining about Sugisawa before his death, he then fell backward onto the ground.
"Thump!" The other two ninjas also fell down in response.
"I killed them all with one move. How boring......" Kaoru clapped his hands and smiled. This was the difference between a ninja who had just been promoted to Chūnin and a regular Chūnin. Their strength was already equivalent to a Chūnin, but they still lacked some combat skills, some strategies hidden in battle.
They were completely unprepared for the shuriken in the fireballs.
After easily killing these three ninjas, Kaoru came to their side and peeled off the masks they were wearing on their faces.
"These people......" After clearly seeing the true faces of these three people, Kaoru frowned. They were wearing headbands from different villages. One was from Kusagakure, and the other two were from Amegakure. And their ages looked to be around twenty years old, quite young, and Kaoru had never seen their faces in Konohagakure.
All of this seemed to indicate that they weren't Hannya Group ninjas, but rather rogue ninjas from various countries.
"Rogue ninjas from various countries. Could it be that I've also been put up for a bounty on the black market?" Kaoru frowned. Since he had become an Anbu over the past few years, he had killed many people, and he must have offended a lot of people, but he always wore a mask when going out to carry out missions. Others shouldn't know his true identity......
"No, don't jump to conclusions so quickly." After thinking for a while, Kaoru muttered to himself again. Although they were wearing headbands from different villages, this might also be a facade deliberately put on for him, just like they were wearing Hannya Group masks, all just to fool him.
"Ah, never mind so much. Let's continue to move forward!" Kaoru casually threw away the Hannya Group mask in his hand and ran forward.
"How is it? That kid with no chakra should have been taken care of, right?" On a tree trunk in the distance, Sugisawa spoke softly. At this time, he was still a long distance away from Kaoru.
"No....." Ida's trembling voice came from the vines. "According to my Byakugan's observation, he killed those three ninjas!"
"Killed them? How is that possible!" Sugisawa's eyes widened. "Did he use taijutsu? That's not right either. Taijutsu also needs the support of chakra. A ninja without chakra is equivalent to trash, right ah....."
"N-no, he used a Body Flicker Technique and a Fire Style to kill the three ninjas," Ida continued to say.
"Body Flicker Technique and Fire Style? Damn it, Ida, didn't you say that the chakra in his body had already been completely consumed?!" Sugisawa cursed in a low voice.
"That's right, Captain Sugisawa. My Byakugan saw it very clearly. That kid's body indeed didn't have any chakra. I don't understand why he can still use ninjutsu....." Ida's speech in the vines wasn't as smooth as before. He completely couldn't understand Kaoru's situation.
"Indeed, Captain Sugisawa, my parasitic insects' chakra absorption can prove this point," Yōji also said.
"That's really strange ah....." Sugisawa, who had always prided himself on being intelligent, was also somewhat unable to understand. "Could it be that this kid used some secret technique, so even if there's no chakra in his body, he can still release ninjutsu?"
"Do you want me to go scout it out?" Seeing Sugisawa's confusion, Yōji asked.
"Not yet." Sugisawa waved his hand. "Your parasitic insect secret technique is representative of the Aburame clan. You can still use sneaky moves in secret, but once it's exposed and you don't kill that kid, he'll easily guess that this conspiracy is related to Konoha. In that case, this kid might discover the truth about this kidnapping of Lord Mitokado."
"Then what should we do?" Ida asked.
"Continue to implement the second step. When arranging this complex trap, I had already anticipated the failure of the first step. It's okay. Continue according to the original plan!" Sugisawa said, but at this time, his heart was already somewhat nervous.
"Yes, I'll immediately use the parasitic insects to give the order!" Yōji's voice came.
On the other side, Kaoru continued to move forward unhurriedly. The surroundings were still calm and tranquil. Not even a small beast could be seen, but he also knew very well that this was just the calm before the storm......
Sure enough, after a while, another variable arose!!!
"Swish swish swish!"
Dozens of shuriken suddenly attacked from Kaoru's southeast direction. The shuriken were fan-shaped, almost covering all the space in his southeast direction.
"Hmm?" Kaoru raised his eyebrows. At the same time as he pushed off with both feet, he took off the tachi behind his back. The whistling shuriken arrived in an instant. Kaoru dodged a part and used the tachi in his hand to split open another part.
However, the offensive was far from over. After the first wave of shuriken attacks, there were swish swish swish sounds again. The second wave of shuriken appeared in Kaoru's vision. They still attacked from the southeast direction, Yōjiing with a strange metallic luster under the moonlight, sweeping towards Kaoru.
"Troublesome!"
Kaoru gently spat out these two words. His body moved again, preparing to dodge the second wave of shuriken. However, this second wave of shuriken had forced him into a corner where only the tree trunk behind him could be dodged.
"It seems that they're deliberately forcing me onto this tree. Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!" Kaoru guessed their thoughts, but facing these shuriken attacks, he could only dodge onto the tree.
Therefore, he pushed off with both feet again and came to the tree trunk. As soon as he stepped on the tree trunk, he felt that his feet were very sticky.
"This is....." Kaoru looked down, only then discovering that the tree trunk had actually been smeared with a layer of cement. His feet had already sunk in after stepping on it.
"They're using cement to seal my movements......" Kaoru frowned. He moved his feet with force, but found that he couldn't pull them out at all. It had to be said that this move was indeed effective.
"You've fallen for it!" A strange voice floated over from afar.
"Hmm?" Kaoru raised his eyebrows. As this voice was transmitted, there were also several explosive tags on the tree trunk in addition to the cement!
"There are actually explosive tags hidden inside!" Kaoru was slightly shocked in his heart. This commander seemed to have some plans after all ah......
"But it doesn't matter." Kaoru chuckled, and with a slight turn of his three-tomoe Sharingan, "Dark Shield!"
A purple shield floated from Kaoru's body, enveloping his entire body within it.
"Rumble!!" A huge sound rang out. The explosive tags on the tree trunk exploded violently.
"Boring!" Kaoru's voice came from within the smoke. Then, his entire body also broke through the smoke and soared into the sky, landing safely on the ground.
"What other moves do you have? Just use them all," Kaoru said with a calm face.
"Report, Captain Sugisawa, the second step has also failed!" From within the vines, Ida's voice came. He had seen everything in the distance through his Byakugan.
