"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Taiichi suddenly ducked, sliding under the fireball. The scorching fireball grazed his cheek, making his entire face burn. After passing the caster, Taiichi abruptly turned around and shouted, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
The fire is fueled by the wind, and the wind fuels the fire's power.
The towering flames, accompanied by waves of heat, rushed into the narrow passage, and immediately a series of mournful howls echoed from within.
After releasing the ninjutsu, Taiichi grabbed Yohei, who still wanted to check the situation, and ran away without looking back.
A moment later, "Wind Release: Chaotic Airflow" was used.
A strong whirlwind blew out of the passage, along with the remaining flames and hot air.
Four figures led the way, and the remaining ninjas stepped out of the cave one after another. It was clear that these ninjas were all still shaken.
That brat is so cunning! He actually ambushed a fire-style ninja at the cave entrance. With this terrain and the wind-style technique, it's practically a guaranteed kill.
The Jonin named Hijikata looked back into the passage and felt a pang of heartache. Just like that, eight Chunin had collapsed, and judging by their appearance, they probably wouldn't make it.
"I'm going to kill him!" Green-haired Takagi didn't wait for anyone's reaction and rushed out first, shouting as he left, "Damn Asata, aren't you coming after me to atone for your sins!"
"Ah~ Yes~ Yes~" Asata, who was looking uneasy, was overjoyed upon hearing this and followed without hesitation. At this moment, he could easily tell that the two kids had come with him.
Watching Takagi and the other two leave, Hijikata was still not at ease. "Send four more, and I'll calculate the payment."
As soon as he finished speaking, four more figures rushed out.
Taiichi, who was running ahead, was extremely nervous at this moment, constantly telling Yangping, who was running beside him, about the situation in the cave. He also kept taking out kunai and explosive tags from his ninja tool bag, attaching wire to them, and casually shooting them into the surrounding trees to set up simple traps.
When Yangping heard that there were more than 30 enemy ninjas in the cave, including several Jonin, he became uneasy and immediately followed Taiichi's example, setting up traps along their path.
What follows may be a race against time.
-
Before long, the two running figures heard bursts of explosions behind them, the sounds of detonating trinkets being triggered. "I really hope I can delay them a little longer," Taiichi thought to himself.
However, things didn't go as planned. Of all the explosive tags thrown out, only 5 were actually detonated, which probably only slightly slowed down the pursuing ninjas.
As time went on, Taiyi could clearly feel that Yangping's breathing beside him was getting heavier and heavier. Running at such a rapid pace, his physical strength was clearly nearing its limit.
"Yangping, did you remember all the information I just gave you?" Taiyi's voice rang in Yangping's ears.
"Hmm!" The severe physical exhaustion had slowly drained Yangping's mental energy, and he was almost too weak to answer Taiyi's question.
"If we just run like this, none of us will escape. One of the pursuers is definitely the Jonin whose brother I killed, so my first target will naturally be me." Taiichi said each word carefully, making sure Yangping could understand.
"I'll stay behind to hold them off for a bit, and then see if I can lure them away. You go back to the outpost and bring the intelligence back."
Yangping was shocked by Taiyi's words and almost fell off the tree. Luckily, Taiyi caught him.
"Stop talking, save your energy!" Taiyi comforted him. "You run first. Only if you run will I have a chance to escape too. Otherwise, we'll both die."
As Yangping ran, he turned to look at Taiyi's face, which was clearly younger than his own but had an unusually firm expression. A tear unconsciously slid down from the corner of his eye.
He knew Taiyi was right; he was a burden at that moment. He had never hated himself as much as he did now, hating himself for not spending more time training and hating his own weakness.
But he was powerless at that moment, and in the end, Yangping nodded firmly in Taiyi's encouraging gaze.
Taiyi smiled when he saw Yangping nod, then stopped and watched Yangping run away quickly.
Seeing Yang Ping disappear from his sight, Taiyi quickly formed hand seals and unleashed Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. A surging torrent of fire swept across the direction Yang Ping had left, and the raging flames erased all traces left by Yang Ping.
Turning around, Taiyi looked in the direction the enemy had come from. "Now it's time to have some fun with you guys."
They formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Technique. "Bang bang bang!" Three shadow clones appeared around Taiyi with white smoke. They exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they hid behind different trees, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.
After about 10 minutes, Taiichi, who was hiding behind the tree, finally saw the pursuing enemy.
It really is that green-haired ninja whose younger brother died. He even brought 5 Chunin with him. They really think highly of him.
"Luckily, only a few people came. If a whole large group had come after us, we would have been doomed today," Taiichi thought to himself.
These people stood in a pentagram formation, quite far apart from each other. This distance greatly reduced the possibility of being covered by ninjutsu, but for Taiyi, who was skilled in swordsmanship, they were too far apart.
When the six of them arrived at the burning forest, they all stopped and looked at the vast sea of fire in front of them. Takagi said disdainfully, "Thinking that you can hide your tracks like this? Dream on."
"The four of you go around from the left, and Asata and I will go around from the right. Send a signal when you find any tracks." With that, he prepared to continue.
Just then, two kunai struck a Chunin on the outermost side, followed closely by Taichi and Yohei.
This Chunin was clearly unaware of Taiichi's strength, and bravely went to meet the sudden attack.
"Boss, so they didn't run away after all. They stayed here to ambush us." A ninja named Asata shouted from the side.
"Shut up, get him!" Takagi snapped at his idiot subordinate, but something felt off.
In the blink of an eye, the Chunin was caught in the combined attack of Taiichi and Yangping. Since he was not as strong as Taiichi, and with Taiichi's premeditated scheme, he was bound to die even faster.
Taiichi stood in front, completely ignoring the kunai thrust at him by the Chunin, and without any attempt to block, he traded his life for the enemy's. After taking a stab himself, he successfully plunged his short sword into the enemy's abdomen.
Looking at the short knife piercing his abdomen, Nachō couldn't help but roar, "Are you crazy?"
However, before he could finish speaking, the person in front of him vanished into thin air with a "bang"—it was a shadow clone.
Before a look of shock could even appear on his face, Yang Ping, who had attacked from both sides, had already beheaded him with a single blow.
"Pair up, that kid's swordsmanship is amazing." The belated warning finally came, but the Chunin could no longer hear it.
The remaining four Chunin paired up to prevent themselves from being replaced by shadow clones.
After killing the Chunin, Yangping quickly rushed towards another Chunin, making them a two-person team. Meanwhile, the green-haired Jonin was also charging towards them.
Yangping was locked in combat with two Chunin using his taijutsu, and just as the Jonin was closing in and about to take him down, Taiichi suddenly appeared from the side and delivered a powerful slash towards the green-haired Jonin.
As expected of a Jonin, he remained calm even when faced with a surprise attack. He raised his kunai to block and then delivered a flying kick.
Taiyi was no pushover either, and he wasn't about to let him get away with it. He swung out his own leg, trying to deflect the flying kick.
However, perhaps he got too carried away with the fight and forgot his identity. He could fight with the advantage of a long-handled weapon, but he was no match for a Jonin in terms of strength alone, especially since he was a shadow clone.
Taiichi was kicked off balance by the green-haired ninja, but fortunately he stopped worrying about himself, withdrew his sword, turned around, and used his last bit of strength to slash at a Chunin behind him.
