Chapter 106: Jonin-level Chakra Reserves
Mache glanced at Yoru’s attire and asked, “Aren’t you a Konoha Anbu going to deal with Hanzo? What are you doing in the Ji Gang Mountain Range?”
Yoru hung from the kunai embedded in the stone wall with one hand, pulled himself up with his arm, swung in a big circle, and then stood on the kunai.
He said:
“You not only flushed the people of a town and more than a dozen villages into the sewers under the caves of the Ji Gang Mountain Range, but you also meddle in others’ business. Do you care which village’s Anbu I am from?”
Yoru felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity with this world and had little sympathy for the people here. He was not some righteous person.
However, Mache’s actions still made Yoru feel that he was treating people too inhumanely.
With Mache’s strength, there must be ways to avoid killing, but he didn’t do them, only thinking of achieving his goal, regardless of how many people from the Land of Rain died—it wasn’t in his considerations.
Mache was so angry he laughed: “Are all the young people in Konoha this fearless of death nowadays?”
More than twenty Sand Ninja landed behind Mache, facing off against the Fox Anbu on the stone wall.
Yoru felt the wound that had just been cut by Mache’s Wind Release; it didn’t affect his actions much, and he said, “I’m not afraid of death right now, so what are you going to do about it?”
In the next instant, Mache’s eyes widened in surprise.
This person wasn’t a Konoha Anbu; he was a Hidden Rain Village Anbu!
But why wasn’t he wearing the anti-poison mask that Rain Ninja usually wore?
Mache thought the Fox Anbu was a Hidden Rain Village Anbu because the Fox Anbu had used Hanzo’s signature ninjutsu.
Water Style: Water Clone.
After one hand seal, Yoru body flickered to appear behind the Sand Ninja.
The heavy rain kept falling, and water was everywhere—perfect for using Water Clone.
Since he wasn’t planning to survive anyway, Yoru threw out all his exploding tags at once.
“Ah! Ah!”
Screams rose one after another.
Among the more than twenty Sand Ninja, over fifteen were blown away by the exploding tags.
Only then did Mache turn his head to look behind.
What fast Body Flicker Technique—just one seal, almost like teleportation.
Was this Anbu Hanzo’s disciple?
The smoke from the exploding tags was quickly suppressed by the heavy rain, and the Fox Anbu burst through the smoke, charging straight at the Sand Ninja.
Yoru held his ninja sword, rapidly advancing close to the ground, slashing fiercely at Mache’s leg.
Suddenly, a whirlwind appeared around Mache.
The whirlwind contained large and small wind blades that instantly shredded Yoru.
Boom!
After a puff of white smoke, Mache realized it was a shadow clone.
Yoru crouched not far away, watching the whirlwind around Mache slowly shrink.
Whirlwind for defense, Wind Slash for offense—Mache’s offensive and defensive system was very solid, as expected of a Hidden Sand Village elite jonin.
Yoru pressed his mask, preparing to go all out. He had to force out Mache’s trump card, gain more information, and strive for an advantage against Mache in the next life.
His eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and the single tomoe Sharingan appeared.
Don’t underestimate the single tomoe Sharingan.
Mache was stunned again.
What was going on?
Why did Hanzo take in a Uchiha as a disciple? And teach him a top-tier Body Flicker Technique like Water Clone?
Was the collusion between Hidden Rain Village and Konoha this deep?
Or did Hanzo plan to use the Uchiha Clan to deal a heavy blow to Konoha?
It was too mind-boggling; Mache felt his brain wasn’t enough.
Conspiracy! A massive conspiracy!
After forming one hand seal, Yoru’s Water Clone disappeared.
In the next instant, Yoru had already appeared behind Mache.
Mache instinctively used Whirlwind Wind Release.
Yoru used his Sharingan to track the Wind Release, twisting into an extremely awkward pose mid-air.
Shoulder down, waist up, legs back—he precisely dodged the wind blades in the whirlwind.
The ninja sword thrust forward, stabbing toward the back of Mache’s head.
Mache ducked his head, avoiding the strike.
Then came Yoru’s relentless attacks, the ninja sword whistling through the air with chops and slashes.
The more he slashed, the more shocked Yoru became.
Mache hadn’t moved from his spot, yet he always precisely dodged every one of Yoru’s strikes.
Was the gap in their raw strength really this big?
In a certain instant, Mache suddenly raised his hand and gripped Yoru’s throat.
Yoru was suddenly startled; so that’s how it was.
Before his throat was grabbed by Mache, he first felt considerable wind pressure.
In other words, Mache was covered in a layer of dense air, which amplified all airflow from attacks.
Looking closely, not a single drop of rain fell on Mache.
When the ninja sword was twenty centimeters from Mache, he already sensed the wind pressure and could dodge in advance.
What kind of ability was this?
Wind Release Cloak?
Mache exerted slight force and snapped Yoru’s neck.
“Whether you’re Hanzo’s disciple or a Uchiha genius, you’re dying tonight.”
【Host Death detected. Moon Arc System activating···】
—
His field of vision changed, and Yoru appeared on the previous full moon night; he was still in the inn in Di Gu Town.
In his arms was Purple Cat, sleeping with a flushed pretty face and long white neck still tinged with red.
Outside the window was a calm rainy night.
His strength was still quite a gap from elite jonin level.
Even using all his trump cards, it was useless.
Death accompanies everyone as commonly as breathing.
The ninja world was so cruel; without a clan’s or village’s key support, even geniuses couldn’t grow.
Minato Namikaze had Jiraiya’s guidance, and Kakashi had Minato’s care.
Even so, Obito and Rin from Kakashi’s squad died in the Ninja War.
Most geniuses died unknown, and only the survivors became heroes.
【Moon Arc activated!
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- Wind Release Chakra;
2- Special Jonin Level Chakra Amount;
3- Bandage Taijutsu（Beginner）.】
Wind Release Chakra didn’t match Yoru’s current combat system; selecting it would be useless.
Even if he learned Wind Release Ninjutsu, it would only be gilding the lily.
In peacetime, when battles weren’t this intense, Yoru could slowly make up for shortcomings, but during war, he should focus on reinforcing immediate combat power.
The third option was also eliminated.
Bandage Taijutsu—Mache had thick bandages wrapped around his head, so it seemed like one of his secret techniques.
Yoru chose the second option: Special Jonin Level Chakra Amount.
Last time Yoru drew, his chakra amount was 8 times special jonin level.
During this time, the potential of his special physique continued to release, and his chakra amount naturally grew to 5 times special jonin level.
After selecting chakra amount and adding 1 times, it became 1 times jonin level.
His chakra amount finally reached the average jonin standard.
After completing this mission, he would try applying to the Kiiroinu Captain for special jonin certification.
Chunin benefits were few; becoming a special jonin would give him more power in the Anbu and qualify him to access more information.
Yoru got up, put on his clothes, and shook Purple Cat’s little perky butt.
“Hm?” Purple Cat squinted her eyes, lazy like a kitten not yet awake: “Want more··· Then I’ll go wash first.”
Yoru patted Purple Cat’s little face and said:
“While you were asleep, I left a shadow clone to guard you, went out myself, and gathered some information. Let’s go quickly; we need to find the Kiiroinu Captain!
What time is it, and you still want to wash? Are you Purple Cat or Greedy Cat?
There are only cows that die from exhaustion, no fields that get plowed bad. You’re not resting, but I need to rest.”
Purple Cat’s heart tightened. The captain went out for reconnaissance? How did she not know at all? Did she sleep that soundly?
