Chapter 21: Why Should He Pity Himself
【Moon Arc activated!
The host has one resurrection opportunity per month and will resurrect on the previous full moon night after death.
Reward one lucky draw opportunity:
1-Fire Release Chakra;
2-Chunin Level Chakra Amount（stackable）;
3-Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique（beginner）.】
Fire Release Chakra seemed a bit superfluous and was despised, so it was directly skipped.
But the second option and the third option left Yoru in a dilemma.
If Chunin Level Chakra Amount was selected, it would instantly solve the problem of insufficient chakra amount, allowing longer and faster stealth with Earth Release: Fish in Water Reflection Jutsu.
However, the last option was equally tempting.
Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique, which the Brown Bear Squad Leader had once used, a quick movement body flicker technique.
After comparing the two, Yoru chose Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique（beginner）. The chakra amount problem could be figured out later.
First solve the problem of having it, then solve the problem of whether it’s good or not.
In an instant, Yoru learned Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique.
Concentrate chakra in the calves and ankles, stimulate the cells, and the muscle strength and chakra power explode instantly, relying on the force of kicking the ground for quick movement.
The key to the technique is to keep chakra in the meridians of the feet and calves, stimulating the corresponding certain muscles.
Yoru bent down and hoisted the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader onto his shoulder, continuing to hurry on.
This time, he trained Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique while hurrying.
The Cloud Ninja on his shoulder was very surprised; how did the Leaf Ninja suddenly get faster?
The Brown Bear Squad Leader saw Yoru complete the mission but still looked greatly surprised.
Yoru said, “Squad Leader, on the way back I discovered several Whirlpool Ninjas; they had a sealed scroll. I request to go seize that sealed scroll.”
He had to leave now, or he wouldn’t be able to leave after interrogating the alliance between Cloud Ninjas and Mist Ninjas tonight.
The Brown Bear Squad Leader said, “Good, then go seize the sealed scroll.”
After leaving the beach where the squad was located, Yoru hurried on rapidly using Body Flicker Technique.
The feeling of Body Flicker Technique was really nice.
One foot stepping on the ground, the chakra in the feet exploded instantly, propelling the body several meters into the air.
The wind whistled past his ears, rushing backward.
After searching several lakes continuously, Yoru finally found a juvenile Long Spear Egret.
This Egret was very fast, with a sharp and long beak.
Following the Long Spear Egret to a lakeside, Yoru saw a huge Long Spear Egret.
The Long Spear Egret was circling at the lakeside and discovered Yoru.
Its eyes sharpened, and it suddenly dived toward Yoru.
The beak over a meter long gleamed with a bronze metallic sheen like a javelin.
“Stop! Don’t mess around!”
Yuka Uzumaki’s voice rang out.
The diving Long Spear Egret pulled up in altitude again.
Yuka Uzumaki stood far away with hands on hips, her pretty face showing a bit of pride: “Fox, how’s my new summoning beast?”
Yoru looked at the Long Spear Egret’s beak with lingering fear; this summoning beast’s speed was faster than thrown kunai, and it had its own judgment, knowing to dodge and turn.
“Did you subdue this summoning beast so quickly?”
It was truly enviable.
“Not only this summoning beast, I also have a group of Long Spear Egrets.”
Yuka Uzumaki waved her hand, and five normal-sized Long Spear Egrets flew out from the woods behind her.
These Egrets flew rapidly, their beaks like kunai.
With large summoning beasts providing powerful attack power and small summoning beasts for interference, this group of summoning beasts greatly boosted Yuka.
Yoru retracted his envious gaze and got to the main point:
“Yuka, I gathered intelligence while scouting for Anbu.
Kushina Uzumaki went to seal the wild Three-Tails, encountered setbacks, was pursued by Cloud Ninjas and Mist Ninjas, and the sealing failed.
Konoha Anbu will soon go to the seaside to support Kushina Uzumaki, but Anbu’s two battalions are not enough to rescue Kushina Uzumaki.”
Yuka was shocked: “Kushina Uzumaki went to seal the Three-Tails? I didn’t even know about this; it seems the village kept it secret to prevent spies from leaking intelligence, not telling people in the village. Then I…”
“You’ve just contracted flying summoning beasts like Long Spear Egrets; use the flying summoning beasts to quickly gather support as soon as possible. Kushina Uzumaki cannot be allowed to come to harm.”
With that, Yoru left with Body Flicker Technique.
Yuka noticed that the Fox’s strength had improved quite a bit; how did he do it? Did he grow in battle?
Body Flicker Technique left a black afterimage, disappearing rapidly, with much higher B-rank presence.
One hour later, a special signal flare rose in the distance.
That was Konoha Anbu’s scarlet signal flare, representing Anbu’s highest level assembly order.
The Kiiroinu Captain had already obtained the intelligence from interrogating the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader.
He quickly returned to the battalion’s location.
Yoru said to the Brown Bear Squad Leader, “Captain, I came back halfway after seeing the signal flare.”
“It’s fine; compared to the Whirlpool sealed scroll, the more important intelligence from interrogating the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader you brought back is better.”
Yoru was secretly anxious, not knowing if Yuka Uzumaki could bring enough weighty reinforcements.
The Land of Waves was far from Konoha Village and Hidden Whirlpool Village; it might not make it in time.
Following the battalion to the seaside, they encountered Kushina Uzumaki’s group at the seaside.
When facing Mist Ninjas, having learned Body Flicker Technique made it easier to dodge and maneuver.
After the Whirlpool Princess’s group escaped far away, Yoru finally received the retreat order.
Mist Ninjas and Cloud Ninjas were very strong; Mist Ninjas closely followed behind Anbu, while Cloud Ninjas flanked.
The pressure grew greater and greater; the Kiiroinu Captain sent the Black Bull Squad to cover the rear.
Less than half a minute of delay, and the Black Bull Squad was wiped out.
The Kiiroinu Captain then sent Yoru’s Brown Bear Squad to cover the rear.
The Brown Bear Squad Leader turned around without hesitation, calmly facing his own death and also the deaths of his team members.
But the team members didn’t need this calmness.
They were about to face a certain death situation.
Yoru continuously scanned the surroundings, concentrating all his chakra in his feet.
Making full use of the battlefield width, he found a place with fewer Mist Ninjas.
He body flickered there, buying himself at least 3 seconds of survival time.
The nearest Mist Ninja would need 3 seconds to attack him; every extra second alive was a second.
Using Taijutsu Body Flicker, Yoru delayed the longest time.
The Brown Bear Squad Leader faced more enemies, his body like a porcupine stuck full of steel needles.
Some senbon pierced his throat, heart, and other vital spots.
Before dying, the Brown Bear Squad Leader had a sudden attack of conscience and wanted to see how his team members were doing.
He turned his head and saw that the Fox was still alive.
In the next instant, his eyes behind the mask were full of sympathy.
Yoru was startled.
Why did he sympathize with him?
Instinctively, Yoru lunged forward!
Behind him, Juzo Biwa’s Kubikiribocho had already slashed toward Yoru’s waist!
How could a man’s waist be injured?
At the moment of near death, Yoru heard the exciting sound of chains!
This was the sound of the Uzumaki Clan’s Adamantine Sealing Chains!
Two chains nailed into the ground on either side of Yoru, blocking the Kubikiribocho.
Yoru rolled on the ground and saw the newcomer.
A ninja wearing the badge of the Land of Waves Daimyo Guardian Ninja!
Behind him were many Whirlpool Ninjas, all the ninjas on missions in the Land of Waves had come.
Yuka Uzumaki’s graceful silhouette appeared in the water mist.
She had brought reinforcements!
