Chapter 265: Deep Alliance
Yoru returned to the previous full moon night.
Yakushi Nonou was demonstrating the hip shrinking in her disguise secret jutsu.
So tight.
In Yoru’s repeated failures, he and Yakushi Nonou formed a deep alliance.
A very deep alliance, no longer just mutual utilization as before.
Clearly, Yakushi Nonou was very satisfied with this depth.
After sending Yakushi Nonou away, Yoru finally checked his rewards.
【Moon Arc activated!
Host has only one resurrection opportunity per month, resurrecting on the previous full moon night after death.
Reward: one lucky draw opportunity:
1-B-rank nintaijutsu · Lightning Blade Technique;
2-Storm Release Bloodline Limit（normal）;
3-B-rank Lightning Release · Lightning Body Flicker（proficient）.】
The first option, B-rank Lightning Release · Lightning Blade Technique, was first eliminated by Yoru.
He didn’t need such a close-range taijutsu; he had many attack methods, and Lightning Blade Technique wouldn’t bring him much improvement.
The second option, Storm Release Bloodline Limit.
This ability was quite rare.
Darui in the original story possessed Storm Release Bloodline Limit and performed well in the Fourth Ninja War.
He had tried Gari’s Storm Release; it was rare enough, but its power was average.
Rarity also meant Yoru would find it hard to purify the Storm Release Bloodline Limit to a sufficiently pure level; in the long term, this bloodline was quite useless.
His collection of Six Paths fragmentary bloodlines was enough; Storm Release could be passed.
The third option, B-rank Lightning Release · Lightning Body Flicker.
Lightning Release was Yoru’s 5th attribute; refining Lightning Release chakra was slower than earth and water, and using Lightning Release as the main attack method wasn’t smooth.
But using Lightning Release as an auxiliary ability was very good.
Lightning Body Flicker would greatly improve the sub-account Shiroki.
Sub-account Shiroki already had Silent Body Flicker Technique; adding Lightning Body Flicker would greatly enhance the sub-account’s body flicker ability.
Assassination, assassination, one hit and instant escape—this was the ability Shiroki needed most urgently.
Yoru chose the third option, B-rank Lightning Release · Lightning Body Flicker（proficient）.
Many Cloud Ninja mastered Lightning Body Flicker; finding another Lightning Body Flicker expert for a gacha pull might upgrade it to mastery.
Mastery-level ninjutsu were all great treasures.
Yoru formed a seal and tried it.
Lightning Release chakra gathered on his calves and feet, chakra stimulating the muscles and nerves, building up great power in the muscles and nerves.
He instantly shot away from his position, quickly appearing in the distance.
After experimenting for over ten minutes, Yoru roughly figured out the technique’s characteristics.
This technique was based on Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique, replacing the normal chakra gathered in the feet with Lightning Release chakra.
Stimulating special meridians and muscles could give the legs stronger explosive power.
Using this ninjutsu to quickly return to the main camp, Yoru informed Sakumo Hatake again that he had interrogated the location of the Cloud Ninja main camp.
This time the location was very precise, no longer just some area.
“Lord Sakumo, I am extremely confident in my interrogation technique and can guarantee the accuracy of the information; the Cloud Ninja main camp is absolutely in that valley.”
Several strategists secretly clicked their tongues.
Anbu Captain was the top representative of Konoha’s darkness ninja; under a squad leader’s interrogation technique, even bones could be finely crushed and then kneaded bit by bit into flesh and blood.
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
Seeing Fox Captain so determined, Sakumo Hatake immediately said: “Good! Let’s raid the Cloud Ninja command center!”
Sakumo Hatake and Yoru led the team, Aries Squad, 3 elite squads, heading straight for the cloud mist-covered valley.
Arriving at the valley base, Sakumo Hatake made the same decision: no rash entry into the valley; the four squads climbed toward the western mountain side of the valley.
Cloud Ninja mastered some unknown sensing ninjutsu and detected Konoha’s raid force in advance.
This time, Gari brought 8 squads to the mountaintop.
King against king, upon seeing Konoha’s White Fang, Gari instantly charged forward.
Yoru then led Aries Squad to spread out.
Seeing Fox Captain nod to him, Aries directed the team members to take positions.
“Combined Ninjutsu! Don’t hold back!”
Everyone secretly activated the Ten Seals.
Future Aries Squad would become famous for chakra amount and combined ninjutsu.
The Ten Seals secret couldn’t be leaked, but large chakra amount wasn’t anything special.
Aries had learned Wind Release · Great Breakthrough, which could quickly deliver insects to the enemy.
The other squad members used Fire Release.
Gari had just dodged White Fang’s terrifying blade aura when he suddenly sensed a brightness from the side.
The mountaintop clouds blocked the sunshine, and the originally dim area suddenly lit up.
Five consecutive sets of wind-fire combination ninjutsu appeared on Gari’s side.
At this moment, the Cloud Ninja seemed to see an erupting volcano.
The later Fire Dragon Flame Bullets were accelerated by Aries’ gradually strengthened Wind Release and overlapped with the front ones.
Finally, the Anbu Squad created a massive Fire Dragon Flame Bullet over a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide.
This ninjutsu’s scale was not bad even among elite jonin.
Faced with the terrifying fire dragon, three Cloud Ninja squads desperately leaped up.
However, no matter how high or far they jumped, they were still within the fire dragon’s attack range and were devoured by the terrifying fire dragon.
In just one clash, three Cloud Ninja squads were wiped out.
The three squads had no chance to show their abilities and died miserably in the sea of fire.
The heat wave even knocked over another nearby Cloud Ninja squad.
After rolling on the ground, the Cloud Ninja squad leader stood up and shouted:
“They must be at the end of their rope, extracting chakra at all costs—they’ll exhaust themselves!”
He led his team charging toward Yoru and the others.
This person still thought the Anbu Squad was at a critical moment of catching breath.
Unfortunately, the massive ninjutsu from Aries Squad didn’t use their own extracted chakra at all.
Aries drew kunai and commanded: “Don’t rush, first use taijutsu to show weakness, then find an opportunity to burst and wipe out another squad.”
Seeing the Anbu Squad clash with the Cloud Ninja squad, after dodging White Fang’s blade, Gari hurriedly shouted: “Retreat!”
Gari could tell the Anbu Squad had little depletion.
They weren’t exhausted at all!
Gari was at a disadvantage against Konoha’s White Fang; if experts like Copper Fox cleared the Cloud Ninja squads, being surrounded by two would mean certain defeat.
While the Anbu Squad and Cloud Ninja squad were in melee, those Anbu Ninja suddenly burst out, defeating the Cloud Ninja squad after several consecutive ninjutsu.
Next came the taijutsu cleanup.
Yoru nodded repeatedly; Aries Squad’s performance was very good.
He hadn’t even made a move, and Aries Squad had already eliminated 4 squads.
With the Ten Seals as this trump card, Aries Squad’s combat power greatly increased.
The remaining 4 Cloud Ninja squads were fighting the squads brought by Sakumo.
Shinma led 1 squad; he felt everything seemed unreal.
Why couldn’t he handle one squad in a short time and even felt the Cloud Ninja squad was quite strong?
Was the gap between him and jonin that big?
Why was the Anbu squad leader wearing the Aries mask so much stronger than him?
Weren’t Anbu jonin supposed to be few? Why was the Anbu Squad’s ninjutsu strength so strong?
Were Konoha’s elites really that elite?
Yet Shinma was trading blows evenly with the Cloud Ninja squad leader.
Just as Yoru freed up attention, preparing to join forces with Sakumo against Gari, more Cloud Ninja jumped out from the valley.
This place was too close to the Cloud Ninja command center; with the battle not going well, Cloud Ninja immediately sent reinforcements.
