Chapter 28: Cloud Flow Swordsmanship
To wait for this opportunity, the Anbu had been lying in ambush inside the barrier for more than ten days.
At the moment when all forces inside Hidden Whirlpool Village were at their weakest, when they were both wounded, the Anbu charged down.
Under the mask, Yoru frowned.
The old thief Danzo actually didn’t lead the charge, shrinking to the back.
No wonder Second Hokage Tobirama didn’t let Danzo become Hokage; his Will of Fire was too poor. He didn’t know at all how to sacrifice for his comrades, only knew to let comrades charge to probe for information, and harvest at the end himself.
The first to charge was Kiiroinu Captain, causing Yoru’s position to be very forward.
This night was so long; finally, the Whirlpool Ninja saw the Leaf Ninja!
From their viewpoint, it looked just like the Leaf Ninja had just crested the mountain and charged down from the mountaintop.
Inside the shrine, the elderly and weak cried until their eyes were red, finally waiting for Konoha reinforcements.
After watching for a while, they discovered the Leaf Ninja only had the tiny number they first saw.
Where are the people?
Why only so few? Shouldn’t it be thousands of Leaf Ninja fighting a major battle with the Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja allied forces?
Yoru followed Kiiroinu Captain charging into Hidden Whirlpool Village; the ground was full of corpses.
Some died from suffocation in Water Prison Technique, some from Cloud Ninja ninja swords, some from Mist Ninja Water Style.
Passing a wall, Yoru saw a paper-thin person.
That was a civilian crushed flat into a meat patty by Water Style pressure.
The head turned into a flat oval, chest stuck to back, broken rib ends piercing out from the side.
Very strong Water Style Ninjutsu, Water Style form extremely solid, similar to Water Dragon.
Many surrounding houses had rooftops burned, but the ground nearby was especially damp, with silt left by Water Style.
Setting fires on one side, Water Style on the other, utter chaos.
Charging across the central Great River, Yoru turned his head toward the Third Mizukage’s direction.
The Mizukage was dead; three Mist Ninja squads guarded the Mizukage’s corpse.
As for the Uzumaki Clan Head’s corpse, it was nailed to the hull by Mist Ninja, extremely humiliating.
Fall behind and get beaten; weakness brings humiliation.
A Konoha squad charged toward the Mizukage’s corpse, wanting to clear the Mist Ninja squad and seize the Mizukage’s corpse.
On the Mizukage’s corpse, there might be secrets of that powerful secret jutsu to probe.
The Uzumaki Clan Head’s corpse was also valuable, perhaps revealing Mito’s Sealing Technique.
Wherever his vision passed, flesh and blood turned to blood water; too terrifying.
Yoru followed Kurozaru Squad Leader continuing to charge forward.
After reaching the north bank, the corpses of Whirlpool Ninja on the ground increased.
These Whirlpool Ninja, like Leaf Ninja, had vortex emblems on their backs.
So much red hair, all dead here. The Uzumaki Clan was a major clan in the Land of Whirlpools, multiplying to several thousand.
Konoha Anbu had all charged to the north bank, but Mist Ninja still had no reaction, still madly chasing and killing Whirlpool Ninja.
Cloud Ninja, seeing this, quickly turned direction, guarding against Leaf Ninja and protecting the rear.
Kiiroinu Captain immediately formed hand seals, unleashing a massive scale Fire Release.
The enormous Flame Bullet enveloped more than a dozen buildings.
This Fire Release made Yoru suspect Kiiroinu Captain was from the Sarutobi Clan.
The Cloud Ninja in the middle jumped up, desperately dodging the Fire Release.
The two Anbu Battalions on the sides flanked out and pressed up, leaving Cloud Ninja no time for the Kiiroinu Battalion.
Kiiroinu Battalion continued charging forward, following the Flame Bullet fireball, passing through the middle of Cloud Ninja.
Yoru observed left and right; speed too fast, deep behind enemy lines.
Soon, Kiiroinu Battalion charged into the gap between Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja.
Mist Ninja still ignored everything and killed Whirlpool Ninja, only wanting revenge for the Mizukage.
This let Kiiroinu Battalion quickly close in on the Four Violet Flames Formation.
“Fox! Cover the rear!”
Hearing Kurozaru’s order, Yoru had to slow his steps, falling to the end of the squad.
The Cloud Ninja behind closely pursued.
With a decent sword technique, whenever Cloud Ninja attacked, Yoru could always see their movements and react.
After continuously cutting down two Cloud Ninja, Yoru’s performance attracted a squad leader’s attention.
Unexpectedly, Konoha also had ninja with such solid sword technique basics.
The Cloud Ninja Squad Leader suddenly rushed forward, chopping down overhead.
Yoru, seeing this, hurriedly raised his sword to block.
However, the expected clash of metal didn’t come.
The Cloud Ninja’s shoulder, elbow, wrist twisted at extreme speed, turning the downward chop into a horizontal slash!
Yoru’s abdomen contracted.
His iron vest was slashed open, the skin and flesh of his abdomen cut!
Blood flowed from below the abdomen, abdominal muscles also severed.
Such terrifying sword technique.
This Cloud Ninja Squad Leader’s sword was extremely strange.
No longer beginner sword technique; he had mastered some powerful technique.
The Cloud Ninja Squad Leader swept horizontally again.
Yoru hurriedly held up his ninja sword to block.
Once again, the Cloud Ninja’s joints and muscles forcibly changed the ninja sword’s trajectory, from horizontal sweep to downward stab.
Yoru’s thigh was stabbed, blood spurting, shooting out over a meter.
After three consecutive attacks and defenses, Yoru tragically discovered he couldn’t even touch the Cloud Ninja’s sword.
Until the final time, throat stabbed, Yoru died on the rooftop.
Lying face up, waist propped against the rooftop ridge, Yoru saw an inverted world.
The shattered Hidden Whirlpool Village, The Turbulent Times: Four Violet Flames Formation, and corpses in the streets regardless of age or youth…
He was also a corpse now…
Danzo walked unhurriedly on the street, completely missing that one of his Anbu subordinates wearing a fox mask had just died on the side.
—
Vision went black, viewpoint shifted; full moon shone on Yoru’s eyes, his gaze changed from dazed to clear.
Consciousness returned; Yoru was back in the stealth barrier on the mountaintop not far from Hidden Whirlpool Village.
In the previous life, he had lain in ambush for nearly ten days, but in the final charge, he was killed in seconds by the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader.
【Moon Arc activated!
Host has one resurrection opportunity per month, reviving on the previous full moon night after death.
Reward: one lucky draw opportunity:
1- Lightning Release Chakra;
2- Chunin Level Chakra Amount（stackable）;
3- Cloud Style Sword Technique（beginner）.】
Lightning Release Chakra was out of consideration; the remaining two options were very tempting.
Chunin Level Chakra Amount was what Yoru urgently needed now.
If he could obtain Chunin Level Chakra Amount, battles would go much smoother.
Cloud Style Sword Technique… Yoru remembered it being mentioned in the original work, a sword technique used by Omoi, focused on deception.
In the previous life, when the Cloud Ninja killed him, Yoru couldn’t even touch the Cloud Ninja’s sword; every strike was solidly received with flesh and blood.
After thinking left and right, Yoru still chose Cloud Style Sword Technique.
In an instant, Yoru mastered this sword technique.
He was currently lying on the ground using a telescope to observe Hidden Whirlpool Village, and his whole body muscles and joints had changed.
Cloud Style Sword Technique was as Yoru guessed, a set of special sword wielding techniques.
During the swing, waist, shoulders, elbows, wrists twisted, changing the sword’s trajectory, deceiving the opponent, evading their block, hitting the enemy’s weak points.
When mastered to the extreme, the arm would flow and stretch like clouds, hence named Cloud Style Sword Technique by Cloud Ninja.
With this sword technique, at least he wouldn’t die so quickly on the battlefield.
After learning this sword technique, Yoru’s joints became much more flexible.
The 30,000-word first selection editor group didn’t sign, cross-review didn’t sign either. Sigh, fellow readers who see this, tell me, exactly where is the problem
