Chapter 204: Earth Dome Gun Mastery
The top-floor office was the office of the fortress’s Jonin in charge.
Everyone was willing to enjoy privileges, and the Stone Ninja Jonin was no exception. Privilege thinking helped Yoru quickly find the Stone Ninja Captain.
The Stone Ninja Captain immediately formed hand seals.
Yoru saw that seal was so familiar. Wasn’t that the seal for Earth Spear?
Yoru instinctively formed the same seal.
However, to Yoru’s surprise, this Stone Ninja Captain used only one seal to release Earth Spear, one step faster than him.
This Stone Ninja was particularly skilled in Earth Spear and had actually improved the hand seals for Earth Spear?
This Earth Spear was not bad, quite interesting. He was starting to like his Earth Spear.
Yoru’s Earth Spear had just emerged from the ground when the Stone Ninja’s Earth Spear had already pierced his own chest.
Such strong Earth Release strength!
In the next instant, the Stone Ninja Captain was dumbfounded.
The hard Earth Spear had actually been snapped off!
The enemy’s skin was as hard as red bronze, easily shattering the Earth Spear.
His proud attainment in Earth Spear, though it had struck the enemy earlier, had failed to kill the enemy.
Seeing that he couldn’t match the Stone Ninja in Earth Release, Yoru immediately switched ninjutsu.
He also had ninjutsu with quick release.
He charged quickly toward the Stone Ninja Jonin, secretly forming a seal midway.
The Stone Ninja Jonin was about to swing his fist to send the Sand Ninja flying, fist raised high, when he suddenly found himself unable to move.
The two were very close. With Yoru’s feet as the center, sealing runes appeared, and the Karma Seal of Retribution climbed up the Stone Ninja’s feet and then up his body.
A knock sounded from outside the door. The Stone Ninjas in the fortress had noticed the anomaly in the top-floor office.
Yoru used an Earth Flow Wall on the entrance.
The improved version of Earth Flow Wall blocked the door, preventing those outside from entering for a short time.
Yoru quickly searched the office for information.
He soon found a defense map, clearly showing how many defense squads were on each floor of the stronghold fortress.
He saw the position of the barrier squad on the defense map.
The barrier squad was downstairs in this office.
Yoru lifted his foot and stomped through the floorboard, jumping to the third floor.
Three Stone Ninjas were maintaining a barrier. Yoru quickly killed the three Stone Ninjas.
Before death, the Stone Ninja Squad Leader’s last glance was toward a certain scroll on the wall.
This was the most authentic reaction before death, no faking it.
It was the most important scroll.
Yoru rushed to the scroll rack and picked up that key scroll.
Opening the scroll, Yoru found the fortress’s barrier scroll.
Within a 200-meter radius around the stronghold fortress, the barrier squad had set up an Earth Movement Barrier.
Any vibrations, whether on the ground, underground stealth, or digging vibrations, would be detected by the barrier.
It was this barrier that had detected Yoru’s tracks.
He memorized the barrier setup method in his brain and began learning this barrier technique.
A few minutes later, Yoru heard a loud bang behind him.
The Stone Ninja Captain had finally broken free of the seal’s control and jumped to the third floor.
“Sand Ninja! The war is already over! Are you trying to start a war between nations?”
An Earth Spear stabbed toward him. Yoru didn’t turn back but first heard the sound of it cutting through the air.
He voluntarily dispelled the instinctively activated Absolute Defense Bronze Light.
The Earth Spear pierced Yoru’s throat.
【Host death detected, Moon Arc is activating···】
—
The view shifted, and Yoru appeared five days earlier. He was watching four squads practicing feint attacks and escapes.
In the previous life, he had encountered an Earth Release expert and scouted important intelligence on the stronghold fortress.
【Moon Arc activated!
Host has only one resurrection opportunity per month, resurrecting on the night of the previous full moon after death.
Reward: one lucky draw opportunity:
1-Jonin Level Chakra Amount（stackable）;
2-Earth Release·Earth Fist（beginner）;
3-Earth Release·Earth Spear（proficient）.】
The first option, Jonin Level Chakra Amount, was eliminated by Yoru.
Natural physique growth would bring chakra amount growth. After reaching the chakra amount limit, he would rely on the system to improve.
The second option, Earth Release·Earth Fist.
This was the Stone Ninja’s Earth Release Nintaijutsu, covering the fist with stone to increase taijutsu power.
This technique was useless; Yoru’s Bronze Light fists were much stronger than Earth Fists.
The last option made Yoru’s eyes light up.
Finally, he saw a second “proficient” technique.
The Karma Seal of Retribution had gone from proficient to mastery, reducing hand seals from three to one, greatly increasing casting speed and making the Karma Seal of Retribution Yoru’s core ability.
After choosing the third option, new knowledge appeared in Yoru’s brain.
By running Earth Release Chakra through a special path, he could reduce it by two hand seals, releasing it with just one seal.
Yoru formed one seal, and four Earth Spears instantly appeared in front of him, crossing at one point.
The nearby Purple Cat was startled, wondering why the fox, who had been watching training fine, suddenly used ninjutsu.
In the next instant, Purple Cat suddenly realized the fox had used ninjutsu with just one seal?
This?
The fox was truly an Earth Release genius, actually improving the Earth Spear ninjutsu.
Yoru said to Purple Cat, “I’m going on reconnaissance. Train well until I return.”
“Okay, Captain.”
After Yoru left, he found an uninhabited place and summoned Stone Panda Hakuji and Bai You.
“Bai You, reverse summon me at Yuka Uzumaki’s place. I have something to discuss with her.”
When Yoru looked at Hakuji, Hakuji immediately said, “I understand. I’ll hide here, harden into stone to conceal myself. When your contract chakra signals, I’ll reverse summon you here.”
Yoru nodded repeatedly. Having the Stone Panda Clan was truly convenient.
Yoru was reverse summoned to a remote rainforest in the southwest of the Land of Rain.
Suddenly going from the dry plateau to the misty rainy rainforest was somewhat unaccustomed.
He found himself outside the tree hollow where he secretly met with Yuka Uzumaki.
Yuka Uzumaki pounced over: “Fox, are you free again?”
Yoru held Yuka and said, “Not that free. Yuka, I need your sealing jutsu talent to help me decipher a barrier technique.”
Hearing Yoru had serious business, Yuka took the fox’s hand and entered the tree hollow.
Bai You scratched her head nearby and chose to leave. Whenever father and mother did that, they always drove him away.
Inside the tree hollow, Yoru told Yuka all the Earth Movement Barriers he remembered.
Barrier techniques were a special kind of sealing jutsu, all formed with chakra into complex runes to achieve special purposes.
Based on the barrier runes drawn by Yoru, Yuka spent three hours to roughly grasp the idea of the Earth Movement Barrier and replicated a low-quality version of the Earth Movement Barrier.
Over the next two days, Yuka invented a curse mark engraved on the sole of the foot that dissipates vibration transmission.
During these two days when Yuka was tired, she would use Yoru for amusement.
Brain fatigue required hormonal stimulation.
For the mission, Yoru had no choice but to offer his beauty time and again, submitting to Yuka’s lustful tyranny.
“Earth Movement Vibration Reduction Seal. This curse mark will let you easily break through the Earth Movement Barrier.”
Yoru kissed Yuka’s face and said, “Great, as expected of the Uzumaki genius girl. Having you is truly the fortune of the Stone Ninja barrier unit.”
There’s a recommendation tomorrow. Tomorrow and the day after are five chapters each, with extras!
