Chapter 102: Water Instant Body
The view in front of him changed, and Yoru returned to several days ago.
He had just received the mission and was about to leave the village with Danzo to go to the Land of Rain to negotiate with Hanzo.
【Moon Arc activated!
The host has only one resurrection opportunity per month and will resurrect on the previous full moon night after death.
Reward one lucky draw opportunity:
1-Swordsmanship·Chain Sickle two-stage strike;
2-Poison spray;
3-A-rank Water Style·Water Clone（beginner）.】
The first option is the scythe swordsmanship developed by Hanzo, paired with chains, elusive. The scythe often appears behind the enemy, attacking the enemy’s vulnerable back.
This swordsmanship was useless to Yoru; he didn’t want to carry a chain sickle at all times.
The second option, poisonous fog spray, didn’t fit with Yoru’s current ability system at all, so he didn’t choose it.
The third option, A-rank Water Style·Water Clone, made Yoru’s eyes light up.
This was Hanzo’s core ability.
Body Flicker Technique is a rare ability in the ninja world,
As the saying goes, among all ninjutsu in the world, only speed is unbeatable.
As long as you are half a step faster than the enemy, you can suppress them everywhere.
No matter how strong the ninjutsu is, if you don’t even have time to form hand seals, you’ll be stabbed to death by a kunai as soon as you raise your hand.
The essence of ninja battles lies in delivering a kunai into the enemy’s heart in the shortest time.
Yoru chose Water Style·Water Clone and instantly mastered this body flicker technique.
He understood in his heart that this technique must be used when the ground is covered with water.
Attach chakra to the surrounding water on the ground. When attacked, form a hand seal, and your body instantly turns into liquid and disperses. The water at a nearby location then instantly reforms your body.
Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique uses downward force to jump and move quickly. Water Clone uses upward force to quickly liquify the body, break down downward, and merge into the water on the ground.
Not only does it have a body flicker effect, but since the body turns into water, it also has an escape effect.
Yoru’s Earth Spear trapped the salamander, and Hanzo used Water Clone to not only dodge the Fire Release but also free the salamander in the process.
The difficulty of this technique mainly lies in instantly liquifying the body.
This brief liquification effect is remarkably similar to the Hozuki Clan’s Water Transformation Secret Jutsu.
The Hozuki Clan’s Water Transformation Secret Jutsu can be maintained for a relatively long time, while Water Clone’s liquification lasts only an instant.
Ninjas from Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Mist Village are all proficient in Water Style, and Hanzo’s Water Style talent is exceptionally high.
Fortunately, his talents are now all mine.
Yoru had mastered another technique that couldn’t be shown to others.
Anyone who can use Water Clone must at least be Hanzo’s own son; even a close disciple wouldn’t qualify.
Did Yoru need to investigate Hanzo’s background to see if he had a woman he couldn’t forget when he was young?
A ninja’s trump card would never be easily passed to others.
Yoru felt some regret; this technique was very strong, but it couldn’t be used as a regular move, only secretly in desperate situations.
Heading to the front line camp, Fox Squad replenished new members like Aries and others.
Afterward, Danzo led Kiiroinu Battalion into the Land of Rain.
The ground was full of puddles and flowing water. Yoru tried attaching chakra to the water on the surrounding ground.
If someone attacked him now, after forming a hand seal, he could instantly body flicker to another place, even behind the enemy.
In a water-filled environment, this was a beggar version of Flying Thunder God Technique.
Danzo found Hanzo outside Kyoto in the Land of Rain and began negotiations.
Hanzo naturally wouldn’t admit he was tricked by Oonoki. Words didn’t match, so they directly fought.
Just like in the previous life, Yoru used Earth Spear to trap the salamander, and Hanzo used Water Clone to dodge all attacks again.
Before Kiiroinu Captain used Fire Release, Yoru had already prepared the hand seals for Earth Clone.
Hanzo and the salamander body flickered behind Yoru, with the chain sickle hooking toward Yoru’s neck.
However, the scythe only hooked a puddle of mud.
Yoru used Earth Clone to swap positions with the soil underground, while using Earth Style: Fish in Water Reflection Jutsu to quickly stealth underground.
“Hmm?”
Hanzo missed, and let out a puzzled sound.
The salamander was also surprised, shaking its head to search for the Konoha Anbu that turned into mud.
Kiiroinu Captain saw the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet hit only a large puddle of water, quickly turned his head, and saw Fox who had dodged Hanzo’s attack.
“Well done! Fox!”
Making Hanzo’s attack miss greatly boosted morale.
Kiiroinu Captain used Fire Release again, attacking Hanzo and the massive salamander.
When the fireball hit, the salamander had already sprayed poisonous fog, instantly killing a squad of ninjas.
Yoru looked over and breathed a sigh of relief; it was a squad from Hippopotamus Squad, not Fox Squad.
He crawled out from the ground and hurriedly formed hand seals to use Earth Release·Earth Spear.
Hanzo and the salamander used Water Clone multiple times to disappear and reappear; Yoru’s Earth Release couldn’t keep up at all.
Not just Yoru—even Kiiroinu Captain’s Fire Release couldn’t keep up with Hanzo.
In just a dozen seconds, Kiiroinu Battalion had already lost three squads.
This was the strength of the Half-God of the Ninja World; Water Clone and poison were too strong.
Danzo, at the back of the team, spoke to arrange tactics: “Use Lightning Release.”
Three Anbu Ninjas immediately stepped forward upon hearing this and used Lightning Release Ninjutsu on the ground.
“Lightning Release·Earth Walk!”
Lightning spread across the ground like a spider web, indiscriminately attacking everyone’s feet.
The paralyzing sensation under his feet made Yoru feel at ease.
Sure enough, when Hanzo and the salamander appeared next, they stayed far away from the Lightning Release range.
Both sides pulled back their distance.
Just as everyone slightly relaxed, Danzo unusually jumped backward.
Unbeknownst at what point, many exploding tags had appeared in the puddles on the ground.
“Exploding Flame Array!”
The exploding tags detonated, killing the three Anbu Lightning Release ninjas.
Hanzo was not only skilled in poisonous fog and Water Style; exploding tags were also one of his specialties.
After dodging the exploding tags backward, Danzo stood on a tree trunk and said to Hanzo:
“Hanzo, I can’t do anything to you, and you can’t do anything to me.
Think it over carefully. Don’t think that just because your strength is top-tier in the ninja world, you can do whatever you want.
In Oonoki’s eyes, you’re just a stupid thug who can be used.
Ceasefire. Don’t interfere with Konoha attacking the Land of Earth and Hidden Stone Village.
If you figure it out, send someone to contact me anytime.”
With that, Danzo jumped down from the tree trunk and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Hanzo called out to Danzo.
Everyone looked at Hanzo, not knowing what he was going to do.
Hanzo looked at the corpses of his Rain Ninja subordinates all dead on the ground.
He wasn’t afraid of anyone from Konoha, but the quality of Rain Ninjas was far inferior to Leaf Ninjas.
Hanzo said:
“Your Konoha is vast and powerful; even if the Anbu are wiped out, you can easily rebuild.
Hidden Rain Village doesn’t have your Konoha’s deep foundation. These subordinates of mine were carefully selected by me, yet they were all killed by your Anbu.
Danzo, my subordinates can’t die in vain.”
He took out a scroll and threw it toward Danzo.
“This is my condition.”
The scroll flew fast but was intercepted midway by Kiiroinu Captain.
If it was a scroll of exploding tags and Danzo got blown up, that would be ridiculous.
Kiiroinu opened the scroll to check it, then body flickered to Danzo’s side and handed the scroll to him.
The scroll said that after Hidden Rain Village declared war on Konoha, many Sand Ninjas appeared in the south of the Land of Rain.
The Sand Ninjas were sneaking around near Jishui River in the Land of Rain.
Hanzo’s meaning was to have Konoha help deal with the Sand Ninjas, and Hidden Rain Village would withdraw from this war and no longer interfere with Konoha dealing with Hidden Stone Village.
Things were getting more chaotic; Hidden Sand Village had also entered the Land of Rain, which lived up to its reputation as the ninja world’s crossroads and the land of four battles.
Hanzo had one core demand: drive away the Sand Ninjas in the Land of Rain.
Danzo thought for a moment and handed the scroll to Kiiroinu: “You go handle it.”
