Chapter 64: Desperation!
Chapter 64: Desperation!
Obviously, the Eagle, Cat, and Dog are none other than Kuroto, Shisui, and Guy.
With Kakashi being in a state of Coma, Kuroto had temporarily taken over the position of captain of Team-11, so Guy didn’t argue anymore, and immediately retreated while carrying the unconscious Kakashi on his back.
How could the cloud ninjas present here allow the retreat?
So, several teams immediately separated from the crowd here and chased after Guy.
Neither Kuroto nor Shisui stopped this group, rather they couldn’t.
The head ninja of the Cloud village took a look at Kuroto and Shisui standing guard and said with a smile, “I have to admire your group of outstanding youngsters!”
Kuroto said coldly, “Thanks for the compliment but it was unnecessary.”
“My name is Fuji; I am the commander of this Garrison.” After a short pause, Fuji continued, “I really do admire you bunch of young ninjas of Konoha and your determination, but it’s a pity that you all are going to die here, of course including the two brats who escaped.”
Kuroto did not bother to reply but glanced around him to analyze the situation they were in.
Excluding the 4 squads that went after Guy, there are still more than a hundred Cloud Ninjas surrounding him and Shisui, out of which at least a dozen of them have Jonin class chakra volume.
Moreover, the emergency signal has already been fired by the enemy. So, the reinforcements would already be rushing here from all directions, considering the importance of this place.
Fuji noticed that the two kid still didn’t give up hope in such a desperate situation, his admiration for them increased more and said with a wicked smile, “I think Raikage-sama will definitely forgive me for being unable to guard this warehouse if I kill such excellent youngsters of Konoha.”
However, without losing his calm because of Fuji’s words, Kuroto still stood silently waiting for a suitable opportunity.
With the steady improvement in his strength, the effective range of Rein Wheel interaction has increased to about 22 meters. If Kuroto decided to over exhaust his chakra without caring for the consequences, then give or take; 25 meters should be possible.
Currently, Fuji is standing about 21 meters away from him, so he is within the effective range of Rein Wheel Interaction.
But considering that the opponent is an elite Jonin of the Cloud Village, his strength is definitely not weak, so 21 meters is not a safe distance, Kuroto has to get at least at a distance of 15 meters to make sure that the attack works properly.
While silently calculating his options, Kuroto took out a bottle of poison from his waist pouch.
In the series of battles up to now, the poison he has applied on the blade of his sword has already been consumed, so he needs to re-poison the blade.
Previously, he forgot to do it because of the eagerness of rushing here. So, at this moment, he has no choice but to do it in a hurry while in the presence of so many enemies.
Seeing Kuroto silently applying poison on the short sword, the cloud ninjas glanced at each other feeling awkward.
With frowned brows, Fuji asked the subordinate standing next to him, “Why hasn’t Kurapa arrived yet?”
The reason why the cloud ninjas haven’t attacked them yet is that they are waiting for the torture ninja Kurapa to arrive. In Fuji’s eyes, the two kids are already dead, so all their actions are meaningless.
However, he would like to make good use of the two of them, at the very least they can extract some information from their heads through torture.
Cloud Village doesn’t have a secret technique that allows them to extract information from the brains of corpses, so they have to wait for the torture ninja Kurapa to arrive before doing anything. By then even if the two kids are limbless or close to death, with Kurapa here, he would have enough time to conduct the interrogation.
This abnormal behavior of Cloud ninja didn’t escape Shisui’s eyes, he whispered to Kuroto, “Eagle-San there seems to be something wrong with them, what are they waiting for?”
Obviously, Kuroto has also noticed this abnormality and knew that they couldn’t wait any longer, so he said, “Cat, when we attack, directly start with the Susanoo!”
Shisui didn’t ask why but nodded seriously.
After instructing Shisui, Kuroto lightly walked towards Fuji.
Seeing one of the kids walking forward, Fuji suddenly had a bad feeling, he immediately shouted towards the Cloud ninjas, “Don’t wait, do it!”
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt huge unspeakable traction that pulled him towards the kid. In fact, not only him but with Kuroto as a center, everyone within 21 meters of the surrounding area, including Shisui, everything was pulled towards Kuroto by this huge force.
At this moment, Kuroto shouted while holding the Kusanagi sword in his right hand,
“Eight-Trigram: Heavenly Blade Rotation!”
‘Heavenly Blade Rotation!’ is a crooked move he came up with after getting Kusanagi Sword.
According to his imagination, he would pull all the enemies around him using the ‘Rein Wheel Pull’, and then he would use Kusanagi Sword to perform ‘Revolving Heaven’.
To achieve both the offense and defense, with ‘Revolving Heaven’ as defense and ‘Blade Rotation’ as the offense.
The only problem is that he hasn’t practiced this move before, so in this desperate situation, he can only try to create it out of scratch.
The huge force of Rein Pull attracted so many ninjas, let alone the enemy side even Shisui was shocked.
Although he has seen Kuroto-San use this move before against Moryo, it’s the first time he has experienced personally just how it feels being under its effect.
Fortunately for him, Kuroto-San has already instructed him, so without panicking, he directly opened Mangekyou and used the Susanoo.
Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash…
The sound of the blade slashing through the air brought everyone out of the daze.
Those that came into the range of Rein Pull: Heavenly Blade Rotation were injured by the Kusanagi Blade at varying degrees. Except for Shisui under Susanoo’s protection, everyone else took the attack by the Kusanagi sword without exception.
After stopping ‘Heavenly Blade Rotation’ Kuroto panted heavily due to chakra overdraft and observed the result.
The use of such large-scale attacks consumes too much chakra, and now he is in an exhausted state, so he had to make sure that at the very least Fuji, their commander has to be dead from his attack.
But contrary to what he expected, among the cloud ninjas who were cut by the Kusanagi Sword, all of the ninjas with Jonin class Chakra turned into lightning.
“Lightning Style Shadow Clone?” Kuroto’s heart was shaken.
Dojutsu’s are unable to differentiate or identify Shadow Clones, even Kakashi used a ‘Lightning Style Shadow Clone’ to deceive Pain, and it worked even against the Rinnegan.
And now that this technique was used against him, not to mention in such a desperate situation, Kuroto is obviously not very pleased about it!
Kuroto has never seen a ‘Lightning Style Shadow Clone’ before, so he couldn’t judge that all the cloud Jonin in front of him including the commander Fuji, were just some clones.
While Kuroto was in a panicked state, Fuji and the other Cloud who lost the Lightning Clone came out of the Shadows.
Fuji observed Shisui’s Susanoo with interest, and smiled, “Oh, it appears I was looking down on you two. Sure enough, if Konoha can send such young kids for suicide missions into the hinterland of the enemy territory, they would have to have some unusual means huh?”
