Chapter 310: Stirring Up The Muddy Waters
Five… Hyuga Shin had a bad premonition in his heart.
Traitor Ninja Heinosuke Sarutobi, whose strongest ability was the Five Elemental Great Exploding Air Bullet unleashed by his main body and four Shadow Clones…
Four Shadow Clones kicked four Shimura Clan Ninjas flying, while Yoru’s main body jumped high into the air.
“Die! Daimyo!”
Seeing Heinosuke Sarutobi about to attack the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, Hyuga Shin hurriedly shouted: “Quickly take the Daimyo and go!”
Hyuga Shin couldn’t afford to observe Heinosuke Sarutobi; protecting the Daimyo was the priority.
Two Guardian Ninjas hurriedly entered the Tower Carriage and lifted up the fat Daimyo.
The two Guardian Ninjas smashed through the Tower Carriage’s wall panel.
Two more Guardian Ninjas blocked behind the Daimyo.
These six Guardian Ninjas moved proficiently, following the contingency plan to take the Daimyo and flee into the distance.
Hyuga Shin then jumped into mid-air, facing the incoming Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet from the sky, and used Rotation.
The crimson flames were blocked by the high-speed spinning blue Chakra.
In the center of Rotation, the high-speed spinning Hyuga Shin saw deadly blue-red mixed lights all around.
The blue was Rotation, the red Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.
If his strength were any weaker, this Fire Release would have killed him.
Fortunately, Rotation blocked the Fire Release.
Heinosuke Sarutobi came from the Sarutobi Clan, proficient in Fire Release; Hyuga Shin had thought he would inevitably die to Fire Release.
Hyuga Shin was gasping for breath due to over-extracting Chakra.
This was Heinosuke Sarutobi’s sense of oppression… Heinosuke Sarutobi was a terrifying Traitor Ninja rarely seen once in a decade.
Heinosuke Sarutobi had stolen the Third Hokage’s Great Five Elemental Ninjutsu and killed half of the Root Ninjas in front of Danzo Advisor.
Hyuga Shin saw Heinosuke Sarutobi jump toward the distance, standing between himself and the four Shimura Guardian Ninjas.
The four Shimura Guardian Ninjas were kicked dozens of meters away, crashing to the ground in a daze.
One of them could no longer stand up.
Hyuga Shin grumbled inwardly: why was that Shimura Ninja so weak? What kind of misfits did the Shimura Clan send?
Jonin not like Jonin, Special Jonin not like Special Jonin.
Hyuga Shin turned his head and saw the six guardians taking the Daimyo away, feeling slightly relieved.
The Daimyo and the nobles scattered in panic, fleeing into the distance.
Seeing Heinosuke Sarutobi with his back to the Daimyo, facing the Shimura Clan, Hyuga Shin had an unbelievable guess in his heart:
Heinosuke Sarutobi wasn’t here to assassinate the Daimyo; he was here to deal with the Shimura Clan’s Guardian Ninjas?
Sarutobi Shizudo used Body Flicker Technique to land beside Hyuga Shin, joining him to face the enemy.
Hyuga Shin said: “Shizudo, you should go too. I’ll deal with Heinosuke Sarutobi.”
But Sarutobi Shizudo said: “The clan said it’s not yet certain this Traitor Ninja is from the Sarutobi Clan. I’m taking this chance to gather intelligence properly.”
Hyuga Shin thought to himself: if the Traitor Ninja really was from the Sarutobi Clan, he might let Sarutobi Shizudo go.
He himself wouldn’t get that treatment.
Heinosuke Sarutobi stood together with his four Shadow Clones.
Four Shimura Ninjas: one lay on the ground unable to get up, the other three formed a battle squad.
Shimura Hyakuya shouted: “Spread out! Heinosuke Sarutobi has large-scale Ninjutsu!”
However, in the next instant, Shimura Hyakuya’s face was lit up by various Ninjutsu; no matter how much they spread out, they couldn’t dodge five super large-scale Ninjutsu.
The scale of each Ninjutsu reached the top level among Elite Jonin.
Yoru undid the Ten Seals, plus the Chakra he extracted himself, and because he only drew Jonin Level Chakra Amount from Shimura Hyakuya, in anger, this Five Elemental Great Exploding Air Bullet was unprecedented in scale.
Each impact-type Ninjutsu was a fan shape tens of meters long.
Earth Release: Flying Gravel, Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet, Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, Lightning Release: Thunderous Roar.
These five Ninjutsu clashed at the ends, causing a secondary explosion.
Sarutobi Shizudo’s eyes were filled with intense envy as he shouted: “Here it comes! The massive explosion from the Five Element Chakra clashing!”
Even just the Five Release Ninjutsu had considerable power.
However, in the latter half of the Five Elemental Great Exploding Air Bullet, the massive explosion from the five attributes’ Chakra colliding was even more exaggerated in power.
The Five Elemental Great Exploding Air Bullet was a Ninjutsu where five one-fifths added up to far more than 1 in effect.
A massive explosion hundreds of meters in diameter instantly engulfed the four Shimura Ninjas.
Shimura Hyakuya used Body Flicker Technique, but no matter how fast his Body Flicker Technique was, it couldn’t outpace the Five Release massive explosion.
The fierce explosive shockwave rushed in; Hyuga Shin used his arms to block the Hurricane, his Byakugan peering forward through the gaps in his arms.
The four Shimura Clan Ninjas, whether the Jonin Shimura Hyakuya or Shimura Hyahiko, or the two Special Jonin, were all swallowed by the explosion.
After the massive explosion ended, a huge crater appeared on the ground.
He looked at the crater and murmured: “The legendary Tailed Beast Ball is no more than this…”
Sarutobi Shizudo swallowed and said:
“In the First Great Ninja War, Clan Head Third Hokage once fought the Four-Tails from Hidden Stone Village.
The Four-Tails was suppressed by the Third Hokage; even at full power, the Four-Tails was no match for Clan Head Lord’s Five Elemental Great Exploding Air Bullet.
The Four-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball was on par with the Third Hokage’s Five Elemental Great Exploding Air Bullet.
With enough Chakra Amount, this technique’s explosive power has no upper limit.”
Hyuga Shin nodded repeatedly; the Third Hokage during the First Great Ninja War era was a great killing weapon on the battlefield, achieving admirable battle records.
With the five great Release Ninjutsu unleashed together, no Ninja Village could find a counter, ultimately defeated in the massive explosion.
Sarutobi Shizudo was very confused: why would a Sarutobi Ninja as powerful as Heinosuke Sarutobi defect?
When did he defect?
If Heinosuke Sarutobi returned to the village, the Clan Head would surely focus on training him.
Given time, as Heinosuke Sarutobi’s Chakra Amount continued to grow, he could fully become a Kage Level Ninja capable of confronting a Tailed Beast.
The Sarutobi Clan was particularly short on Kage Level Ninjas; the Young Clan Head still didn’t have Kage Level Ninja strength.
Yoru checked the results: all four Shimura Ninjas were dead.
Satisfied.
Yoru turned to look at Sarutobi Shizudo, using Body Flicker to appear in front of him.
Sarutobi Shizudo had just thought to form hand seals, but it was too late; he hurriedly raised his arms to block.
Yoru punched Sarutobi Shizudo flying.
He glanced at Hyuga Shin nearby.
Hyuga Shin dispelled the notion of stepping up to deal with Heinosuke Sarutobi.
It was useless; he wasn’t Heinosuke Sarutobi’s opponent.
Yoru said to Sarutobi Shizudo lying on the ground:
“You’re a Sarutobi Clan Ninja; I won’t kill you.
I’ll spare any Sarutobi Ninja once. But if we meet a second time and you get in the way again, don’t blame me for disregarding clan ties.
Sarutobi Shizudo, next time you see me, you’d better not move a muscle, or even if you’re my former clansman, I’ll kill you.
Sarutobi Shizudo, pass a message to Danzo Shimura for me.
If he dares investigate Lord Madara again, I will kill every Shimura Ninja who dares leave Konoha.
Not one left!”
Yoru was a bit moved; he had truly been benevolent and righteous to the Sarutobi Clan Ninjas.
Muddy the waters, release a Smoke Bomb, and Konoha’s higher-ups would chase in the wrong direction.
Seeing Heinosuke Sarutobi’s figure sink into the ground and disappear, both Hyuga Shin and Sarutobi Shizudo breathed a sigh of relief.
Hyuga Shin said: “I really have to thank you, Shizudo. If not for your surname, I’d surely be dead today.”
Sarutobi Shizudo gave a bitter smile: “I somewhat understand the Uchiha Clan now.
When Uchiha Madara became a Traitor Ninja back then, did the Uchiha Clan feel as uncomfortable as I do?”
Hyuga Shin didn’t answer.
The ones who hurt the village the most were always Traitor Ninjas.
He didn’t know how the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan would handle the aftermath.
