At this moment, the two people on either side simultaneously raised their hands and quickly formed hand signs.
One used Wind Release and the other Fire Release. Their combined Ninjutsu erupted in an instant, a sea of fire mixed with a fierce storm raining down on Miki.
It looked impressive, but normally, this technique only required two Shinobi to coordinate and activate.
This guy, who appeared to be a single, conjoined person, was actually two people.
If he could independently activate a combined Ninjutsu by himself, that would be truly impressive.
But most people don't have such vast Chakra to expend.
The advantage of this Bloodline Limit could only be said to be better coordination; two people were stronger than one.
Facing this combined Ninjutsu, Miki clapped her hands together, and a blue Chakra membrane quickly connected, instantly enveloping the entire house in a giant cubic Barrier.
The sea of fire crashed against the Barrier like water against a reef, only stirring up futile splashes.
The two demons, having activated their Ninjutsu, looked around in panic at the massive Barrier that had enclosed them.
Their expressions changed drastically, filled with dismay.
They had never expected the Barrier to have such a large range.
We're going to die!
The next second, as the Winter Storm Chariot flew, the Barrier began to shrink rapidly.
The two demons, unwilling to wait for death, roared and quickly formed hand signs, attacking the Barrier.
The seemingly thin layer of Chakra remained unmoved under the combined Ninjutsu attacks of the two.
Watching the Barrier gradually shrink, the two demons frantically crashed into it, punching and kicking, trying to break through.
They screamed and wildly lunged left and right.
They hoped to enhance their attack power by using the inertia of an accelerated charge.
Until the Barrier became the size of a single person.
Inside the Barrier, the two demons looked at Miki in despair.
After several leaps, Miki landed on the rooftop, looking at the enclosed Shinobi.
There was no superfluous talk.
Miki coldly brought her hands together.
The Barrier in front of her continued to shrink.
Soon, the Shinobi inside, under the continuous pressure of the Barrier, had to curl up.
Until they screamed and huddled into a ball, squeezed into a Barrier the size of a suitcase.
Their bodies were held in an uncomfortable position, making it impossible to exert any force.
Miki clapped her hands, dispelling the Summoning Technique. Amidst the airflow stirred by spatial fluctuations, the Shinobi was packaged and teleported back by Miki.
Thus, the purpose of this outing to collect living subjects had a good start.
Standing on the burning rooftop, Miki looked into the distance.
She still needed more subjects, including living people.
The Winter Storm Chariot crawled out from under her clothes, opened its elytra, and its wings began to vibrate at high speed, then took flight.
At this moment, inside Tokiwa, a samurai was crawling with difficulty in a subterranean ditch, looking disheveled.
The terrifying dragonflies flying in the sky couldn't find him at all.
Ignoring the foul stench of the sewage covering him, he only wanted to crawl out of Tokiwa along the ditch.
Just then, green light points flew past, then stopped in his field of vision, forming a neat square along the underground drainage channel.
While he was wondering, a blue light membrane connected and formed.
The next second, the world spun, and he found himself in a profound darkness.
In the distance, faintly, he could see glowing magic circles flashing with colorful, brilliant luminescence.
In the surrounding darkness, his ears were filled with incessant, fragmented rubbing sounds, dense and seemingly omnipresent, constantly ringing in his ears.
Suppressing the terror in his heart.
The samurai tremblingly struggled to pull out the lighter from his pocket and lit it in the narrow blue light prison.
Using the light, which was brighter than the blue glow, the samurai vaguely made out a bit of his surroundings.
Seemingly endless white bones were haphazardly piled together, and dense swarms of insects crawled all around, occasionally a synchronized flapping sound echoing.
The samurai let out a desperate, broken scream, closed his eyes, and fainted.
While he was unconscious, one blue Barrier after another, containing the collected living subjects, landed.
Miki had many experiments that required their help.
For example, tests on human infection and control.
This step was crucial for determining whether Bloodline Limits could be collected.
Although she could replicate the entire process, like cultivating Slug.
That is, breeding and then infecting and controlling defenseless infants.
But Miki didn't want to do that.
The dragonfly attacks and bombings on Flower Street lasted for about half an hour, finally ceasing.
At this point, people discovered that the only shops attacked were the brothels.
The fire was spreading, but it would still take a considerable amount of time to burn down the entire street.
Some people had disappeared without a trace, perhaps dying in the great fire, but who knew.
No one had seen how those people vanished.
However, some people did notice that the terrifying dragonflies would not charge into houses or densely populated areas to attack.
These samurai, hiding in crowds and holding hostages as shields, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But the next second, a Kunai suddenly appeared, piercing through the wall and violently embedding itself in a forehead, hilt-deep.
Under the powerful inertia, the entire person tilted, lifted off the ground, and then crashed to the ground.
At the tail of the Kunai, tiny electric arcs crackled and flashed.
Seeing this, the surrounding people screamed and scattered.
Immediately after, a samurai in disguise was precisely targeted; a Kunai, shot from an unknown direction, broke through the wall and struck his forehead.
This time, the power was even greater; his entire head exploded like a watermelon, and the Kunai, with undiminished momentum, shot straight through the wall and disappeared.
People, like a chased flock of sheep, blindly followed those in front, scrambling to leave the house.
Outside, as the Three Tomoe rotated, Naori, squatting on the rooftop, observed the crowd and constantly experimented with her new technique.
Uchiha Style Lightning Release Shuriken Jutsu.
Compared to the traditional method of throwing shuriken using wrist strength.
The new shuriken jutsu relied on projectile kinetic energy.
While the power had significantly increased, it also had a problem.
Namely, charging, or rather, accumulating energy.
After one attack, it required a considerable charging time.
Therefore, continuous development and improvement were still needed.
Naori silently pondered the pros and cons of the technique while also searching for targets.
Lightning Release is truly marvelous...
As she thought, a bundle of electric arcs leaped from Naori's forehead, and then an electric wave carrying Naori's will silently spread out from Naori as its center.
This was a technique combining Yin Release and Lightning Release.
Another form of Lightning Clone.
Previously, Naori had attempted to emit electric waves and receive feedback waves after the electric waves scanned an obstacle.
She could emit them, but Naori found that she couldn't receive the electric waves, or rather, there were too many electric waves to distinguish the reflected ones.
So, she couldn't understand what she had actually hit.
But...
If she emitted electric waves carrying a large number of tiny Yin Release clones, and these Yin Release clones disappeared upon hitting an object, Naori could perceive this immediately.
And so, this technique was born.
Naori called it Take Mikazuchi no Kami.
Even with her eyes closed, the surroundings were as clear as if she were seeing them with her own eyes.
She could even achieve Byakugan-like x-ray vision.
However, this technique was quite draining.
The farther the detection distance, the greater the consumption.
And it wasn't just Chakra consumption.
At this moment, Naori had one image in her eyes and another in her mind.
This mental image was somewhat blurry, requiring Naori to constantly recall, analyze, and imagine with her powerful memory, and it wasn't as intuitive as the image seen with her eyes.
The complex information obtained from the detection churned in her mind; even with Naori's genius intellect, she soon felt fatigued.
Just then, a yellowish, viscous mass shot fiercely straight at Naori.
Under the Genjutsu concealment, Naori was slightly surprised.
She quickly got up and leaped, dodging it.
This guy, he actually found my location?
By chance?
