Chapter 52: It’s Actually Onoki
Earth Spear weakened, there’s a chance, we can go for it.
Taking advantage of the Water Wall Jutsu blocking line of sight, Yoru formed the seal for Shadow Clone.
The Stone Ninja Jonin knew that Fox Anbu had Earth Submergence ability, so using Earth Style: Fish in Water Reflection Jutsu again would be hard to effective.
Therefore, Yoru prepared to coordinate with Shadow Clone for a strong assault.
The Water Wall Jutsu fell, two Yorus charged out left and right.
One jumped high, holding ninja sword and slashing down fiercely.
The other arced around, horizontally attacking the Stone Ninja Jonin’s side ribs with the sword.
The Stone Ninja Jonin glanced up and down, thinking the one recklessly in the air was Shadow Clone feinting, while the one rushing on the ground from the side was the real body.
Fox Anbu mastered Earth Clone, this rogue Substitution Jutsu, Earth Clone must touch the ground to perform.
Fox Anbu impossible to abandon the high fault tolerance advantage of Earth Clone.
The Stone Ninja Jonin constantly watched Fox Anbu’s feet, capturing traces of Earth Clone technique.
Earth Spear stabbed out again.
This time, the Earth Spear’s speed was clearly much slower.
The Stone Ninja Jonin had severe abdominal injury, spleen ruptured, persisting until now was already the end of his strength.
Yoru’s reaction speed was fast, agilely dodging several Earth Spears, rushing to the Stone Ninja Jonin’s side.
Ninja sword horizontal slash!
The Stone Ninja Jonin had seen Cloud Style Sword Technique before when fighting Cloud Ninja.
He guarded against Fox Anbu changing moves, arm Iron Armor blocking slightly upward, ready at any time to protect his throat.
However, Fox Anbu’s sword didn’t change direction, straight chopping toward the Stone Ninja Jonin’s waist.
The Stone Ninja Jonin thought, this Fox Anbu is really cunning, true and false mixed, hard to grasp.
Arm shifted down, ninja sword struck the arm armor, clang of striking iron sound, sparking a burst of metal sparks.
Not right!
The Stone Ninja Jonin suddenly realized the force from his arm was wrong, too weak.
A taijutsu-type Anbu, how could it only have this much strength?
Could it be Fox Anbu abandoned the powerful A-rank Earth Release: Earth Clone, jumping down from the air?
Ninja sword downward slash.
Before the Stone Ninja Jonin’s other arm Iron Armor could block, it struck his brow center.
Dead!
Two Anbu Squads, used 5 lives to exchange for one Stone Ninja Jonin.
Accurately speaking, used 6 lives, Yoru had already died once.
Doesn’t Yoru’s life count as a life?
Battle ended, Yoru panting heavily, quickly retreated, afraid Stone Ninja Jonin had some fish-death-net-break ninjutsu left.
Until Stone Ninja Jonin fell to the ground, making a dull thud, Yoru finally relaxed.
He turned his head and immediately ordered:
“Aries! Don’t rush to find Captain Kurozaru! Use Byakugan to find the enemy’s main force! The large force breaking through the border must be nearby!”
Aries’ abdomen pierced by Earth Spear, bleeding, hurriedly activated Byakugan, searching surroundings.
Soon, terror appeared on his face.
“Fox! Third Tsuchikage Oonoki! Behind him at least 300 Stone Ninja! At least 6 Elite Jonin! One of them has chakra amount comparable to the Tsuchikage.
Two kilometers from here! 10 o’clock direction!”
Yoru heart jolted upon hearing.
Trouble, the Anbu secretly letting go the news of Mito Uzumaki’s funeral actually drew the Third Tsuchikage.
Yoru hurried to find Kurozaru Squad Leader, discovered Yagura Squad already wiped out, Kurozaru Squad Leader lying on the ground, one leg smashed broken by Earth Release, presenting a terrifying blunt angle, bent outward.
No time to fix the broken leg, Yoru supported up Captain Kurozaru.
Bone shards deeply pierced into flesh, pain making Kurozaru tremble.
Even so, Kurozaru was very happy inside.
He thought, Fox and Aries two squads encountering another Stone Ninja Jonin, must die without doubt, didn’t expect Fox not only alive and kicking, but came to save him.
The Fox he focused on cultivating had helped him big several times.
“Squad Leader! Aries saw Third Tsuchikage Oonoki!”
Kurozaru heart tightened, the one coming was actually Third Tsuchikage?
He immediately judged, moved the arm racked on Fox’s shoulder, stood on one leg:
“Fox! You and Purple Cat not injured, you two ignore everything, now immediately return to Lord Danzo, report the important intelligence we discovered!”
Yoru looked at the injured Captain Kurozaru and Aries, nodded.
Compared to intelligence, Kurozaru and Aries’ lives don’t count for much.
Tonight’s battle concerns Nine-Tails transfer seal, is one of the village’s foundations.
After placing Kurozaru and Aries together, Yoru and Purple Cat quickly headed toward Ushi-ga Mountain.
Hope the two can survive, Kurozaru was good to Yoru, Yoru willing to be an Anbu small transparent under Kurozaru.
Kurozaru survives, Yoru easy to explain where he got the A-rank ninjutsu Earth Clone from.
Change to another captain, not easy to fool.
Ran over 20 kilometers, finally saw Ushi-ga Mountain.
Below Ushi-ga Mountain is a deep valley, the valley entrance guarded by Anbu Ninja.
“Emergency intelligence!”
Guard Anbu hearing emergency intelligence, didn’t block, watched Yoru and Purple Cat enter the valley without slowing speed.
Danzo far away saw Anbu jumping on tree trunks, rushing toward him at fastest speed, not stealthily on ground keeping quiet, slowly stood up from the tree stump.
This proved intelligence urgent, not a half second to delay.
Coming to Danzo’s surroundings, Yoru first used line of sight to find Kiiroinu Captain.
Kiiroinu Captain signaled no need to report to him first, directly brought Fox to Danzo’s side.
“Lord Danzo! We discovered over three hundred Stone Ninja, led by Third Tsuchikage Oonoki! 9 o’clock direction, fifteen minutes ago 20 kilometers from here!”
Danzo’s face, stiff from years of expressionless, showed surprise.
Actually Oonoki?
Flight Ability, ninja world’s top Dust Release Bloodline Limit, cunning, tenacious, extremely hard to deal with.
Yoru carefully watched Danzo, wondering if Danzo regretted, actually actively telling spies Mito Uzumaki’s death time.
Made a big mistake, hope his own little life not pay for Danzo’s ambition.
Danzo Body Flicker Technique disappeared behind the valley.
Not long, Third Hokage, Senju Rinki, Tsunade, Kato Dan and others all left the valley, came to the front.
Third Hokage saw Yoru, beckoned to Yoru: “Fox, tell what your squad encountered.”
Third Hokage remembered Fox’s name, Fox appeared multiple times in Anbu reports, high mission completion rate, strength steadily growing, already become Anbu’s mainstay force.
Whether Kiiroinu Captain or Kurozaru Squad Leader, both valued Fox highly.
Yoru simply recounted their encounter, mainly the situation Aries observed with Byakugan.
“Hokage, Third Tsuchikage leading, 5 Ninja Battalions, 300 Stone Ninja. Aries said, enemy team front at least 6 Elite Jonin, one chakra amount comparable to Tsuchikage.
Enemy perimeter reconnaissance squads all led by Jonin.
Their speed very fast, rear weaker strength ninjas not slow, proving they just rested, can throw into battle anytime.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, said: “You did well.”
Kiiroinu brought Fox and Purple Cat to withdraw, several high-ranking officials began formulating tactics.
Yoru looked at the moon’s shape, somewhat melancholic.
The moon still crescent shape.
This full moon cycle already died once, the upcoming great battle, what should he do.
