Chapter 11: Chopping While Stopping The Bleeding
“Captain, what is our next mission?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
His small request was rejected, this damn Anbu rule.
Yoru followed Antelope Captain, waiting at a small dock.
A few days later, they waited for the target.
A Whirlpool Ninja squad, the captain was an acquaintance, Yuka Uzumaki.
Yuka Uzumaki saw the Fox Mask and felt a bit more at ease.
“Antelope Captain, Fox, I didn’t expect it to be you. Where is Horned Ox?”
Antelope Captain said: “To scout Cloud Ninja intelligence, Horned Ox sacrificed himself.”
Yuka Uzumaki showed guilt on her face: “Sorry, Leaf Ninja sacrificed for us, we will take it seriously to heart.”
“Konoha and Hidden Whirlpool Village are allies, this is what we should do.”
Yoru was a bit surprised, Antelope Captain actually said such warm words.
The two squads acted together, Yuka Uzumaki wanted to seal a certain rampaging powerful Ninja Beast.
Taking advantage of the Whirlpool Ninja scouting, Antelope Captain said to Yoru:
“Fox, use Yuka Uzumaki’s fondness for you to get close to her. Especially during battle, stay by her side, ensure within two steps range.
The target is the Adamantine Sealing Chains Scroll, if necessary, kill Yuka Uzumaki and frame Cloud Ninja.”
“Understood, Captain.”
At a small lakeside, Yuka Uzumaki commanded three Whirlpool Ninja to set up three traps.
In each trap, Exploding Tags were buried at the bottom, above them was a large iron wire net.
It looked like they wanted to blast the iron wire net into the air.
After setting up the traps, everyone hid in the woods by the lake.
Yoru lay in a bush, not far from Yuka Uzumaki’s hiding spot.
Unexpectedly, Yuka Uzumaki came to Yoru’s side on her own.
The two lay on the ground together, their figures concealed by the bush, staring at the lake outside.
Ordinary Ninja battles were not earth-shattering like Kage Level Ninja, often just tedious searches, quietly crouching in the grass.
Every Ninja had their own survival wisdom, especially the weak, who had to be extra careful.
Yuka Uzumaki whispered: “Fox, can you tell me your name?”
“Sorry, I can’t.”
Yuka Uzumaki showed a flash of disappointment in her eyes, but immediately said: “I know, you are a Senju Clan spy in Anbu, so you can’t say, can’t take risks.”
Yoru did not answer, neither denied nor admitted, pretending to be mysterious, which deepened Yuka Uzumaki’s misunderstanding.
Yoru searched his memory, he had only seen some Senju Clan Ninja at the Ninja Academy.
After the Second Hokage’s sacrifice, the Senju Clan always claimed to revive the Senju glory.
The whole clan was like pumped with chicken blood, even children shouted they wanted to become Hokage.
For example, Senju Nawaki in the original story shouted at the Ninja Academy that he wanted to become Hokage.
If Yoru shouted now upon returning to the village that he wanted to become Hokage, no one would care. But if Senju Nawaki shouted he wanted to become Hokage, many would take it seriously. People are different.
“Miss Yuka, what are you capturing?”
“Long Spear Egret, a relatively rare flying Ninja Beast.” Yuka Uzumaki said:
“Every Whirlpool Ninja can contract their own Summoning Beast.
Sealing Jutsu itself is not strong, but contracting with Summoning Beasts of various special abilities will qualitatively improve strength.”
Yoru was a bit envious.
The Sannin’s holy land Summoning Beasts, each one could crush Chunin or even Jonin.
Not to mention Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja jealousy, even Leaf Ninja were jealous.
Yoru slightly turned his head, looking through the gaps in the bush leaves to the side above, just seeing Antelope Captain’s mask.
Antelope Captain hid in the tree crown to the side, the eyes in the mask seemed closed, or slightly narrowed.
The strongest in the Whirlpool squad was Yuka Uzumaki, Antelope Captain kept watch on her.
Yoru waited a long time, but Antelope Captain did not shift attention, so he took no action.
The ground was damp and warm, insects occasionally crawling over.
Yuka Uzumaki did not realize Antelope Captain was always watching her, carefully shifting under the bush to avoid insects crawling on her body.
In the twisting, she revealed more snow-white at her chest.
Yoru was unmoved, lifted his mask a bit to hide his eyes, carefully staring at Antelope Captain.
He ate two Ration Pills, crouching from morning till evening.
The sun slanted west, darker under the bush.
Suddenly a black dot appeared in the distance, flying at extreme speed.
“It’s here! Long Spear Egret is returning to nest!”
It was a 3-meter long Egret, with a hard, slender beak one meter long at the front, the rest neck and body very slender.
After retracting wings, Long Spear Egret had extreme dive speed.
Seeing Antelope Captain’s line of sight attracted by Long Spear Egret, Yoru whispered: “Yuka, do you have Poison Needles?”
“Poison Needles? Yes!”
Yuka Uzumaki took out a Poison Needle from her Ninja Tool Bag.
Yoru did not know poison crafting, had no poison.
To deal with the powerful Antelope Captain, he must use poison.
He took out Hemostatic Agent, coated it on the Kunai, then put the poison into the Ninja Tool Bag.
Fox’s series of actions extremely confused Yuka.
Kunai coated with agent, stop bleeding while slashing?
At that moment, the Exploding Tag traps exploded.
Three large nets were blasted into the sky, one wrapping Long Spear Egret’s wing.
Yuka Uzumaki had no time to think about Yoru’s strange behavior, jumped out immediately, rushing toward Long Spear Egret.
Seeing Yuka Uzumaki leave, Antelope Captain’s attention fully shifted, Yoru quickly took out the poison, injected it into the Hemostatic Agent in the air.
Everything prepared, just waiting for an opportunity to strike at Antelope Captain.
Per the captain’s arrangement, Yoru could not leave Yuka Uzumaki, so he also rushed out.
Long Spear Egret’s wings entangled by iron wire net, could not fly, fell to the ground.
Its spear beak was abnormally sharp, the first Whirlpool Ninja to rush up had his thigh pierced by the spear beak.
That spear beak was like a spear.
Could not imagine the destructive power if this Ninja Beast dived.
Long Spear Egret’s neck was long and powerful, constantly retracting and pecking forward, Whirlpool Ninja dared not approach.
“I’ll do it!”
Yuka Uzumaki jumped forward, hand seals using Karma Seal of Retribution.
The curse mark climbed up Long Spear Egret’s slender legs, then wings, neck, finally locking Long Spear Egret.
Long Spear Egret was still struggling, body trembling.
Yuka Uzumaki explained to Fox beside her: “Next is the long eagle-taming time, this Ninja Beast is too big, must exhaust it first, then use contract Summoning Jutsu.”
Yoru slightly turned his head, found Antelope Captain still not appearing, still hiding in the tree crown.
The struggle time was long, Yuka Uzumaki finally subdued Long Spear Egret, this Ninja Beast’s eyes showed plea.
Seeing the timing ripe, Yuka Uzumaki took out the scroll hidden on her thigh under the skirt.
It was the Adamantine Sealing Chains Scroll!
At that moment, the situation changed suddenly.
When Yuka Uzumaki, Yoru, and three Whirlpool Ninja all focused on the Sealing Scroll, two Cloud Ninja squads that had been ambushing to the side suddenly rushed out.
The scroll!
Cloud Ninja squad wanted to grab the Sealing Scroll, research the Uzumaki Clan Sealing Jutsu secret.
Yuka Uzumaki to deal with Cloud Ninja, had to undo Long Spear Egret’s Karma Seal of Retribution.
Long Spear Egret’s slender legs went soft, collapsed to the ground.
Yuka Uzumaki was no better, sweat soaked her bodysuit, wetting the skirt too.
Her skirt clung tightly to her waist and hips, as if fished out of water.
Cloud Ninja rushed over, their squad leader instantly killed one Whirlpool Ninja.
Yoru blocked in front of Yuka, parrying a Ninja Sword.
Antelope Captain finally jumped down from the tree crown, fighting one-on-one with the nearest Cloud Ninja.
With Antelope Captain’s strength, he could instant kill that Cloud Ninja, yet fought back and forth.
Yoru immediately understood, Antelope Captain was slacking off. Because good at slacking, he saw it at a glance.
Captain slacking, Yoru slacked more.
He was forced back by a Cloud Ninja, side abdomen nearly sliced open, had to dodge.
This also exposed Yuka Uzumaki.
Yuka Uzumaki raised the scroll.
This scroll was originally for sealing Ninja Beast, now had to deal with Cloud Ninja.
Antelope Captain suddenly shouted: “Grab!”
This order was to Fox, Anbu also wanted a complete Adamantine Sealing Chains Scroll.
Yoru turned and swung the Kunai, stabbing into Yuka Uzumaki’s abdomen!
