Chapter 65: Desperation Deepens
Chapter 65: Desperation Deepens
Kuroto observed Fuji who walked out of the shadows with a solemn expression.
It was his first time using “Heavenly Blade Rotation!”. To ensure the smoothness of Rotation and to balance out the inconsistencies between the sword and the palm, Kuroto consumed a lot of his chakra.
Adding the chakra, he consumed in Rein Wheel Pull and all the battles up to now, he has very little chakra left currently.
As long as he could have Killed or even injured Fuji and the other Cloud Jonin ninja it would have been worth it, after all, without Jonin support whether he and Shisui, fight or retreat would be up to them.
But now that the surprise attack failed to work, their situation is not good.
Kuroto glanced at Shisui from the corner of his eyes, it looks as if Shisui inside the Susanoo is already out of breath, obviously, the previous battles consumed a lot of his Chakra, and coupled with the burden; Mangekyou has on his young self, his situation isn’t very good.
While Kuroto was storming out his brain to think of something, Fuji shouted: “Do it!”
Following Fuji’s call, the surrounding ninjas immediately launched attacks.
Kuroto quickly shot a few shurikens, to kill the already injured Chunin and Genin then leaped back to retreat into the armor of Susanoo.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
As soon as Kuroto retreated, the attacks from Cloud shinobi caused a series of violent explosions.
After the smoke cleared, the skeletal figure of Susanoo remained unaffected, leaving Shisui and Kuroto inside unharmed.
Fuji was extremely surprised by this!
The Susanoo of the Uchiha Clan hasn’t appeared in the Shinobi world for many years, so even the elites like Fuji do not know what the Green Phantom figure is!
But this does not stop him from making his judgment about this.
As far as Fuji thinks, whether it was the strange technique used by the kid with the Eagle Mask or this Green Phantom type Jutsu, they are very powerful and strange Jutsu, which is definitely not something ordinary ninjas can master.
Considering that both the kids are too young, these Jutsu have to be some kind of Kekkai Genkai.
And the body of a ninja with a Kekkai Genkai is an information library, so although very shocked and surprised, he is even more anxious to take down the two kids.
“Trap them with Earth release, and Attack with Fire and Wind release! And do not stop, keep attacking!”
While giving several orders, he backed away slightly.
“Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome Release Technique!”
“Earth Style: Great Mud Wall Technique!”
“Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!”
“Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Technique!”
Following Fuji’s order, the Cloud ninjas immediately surrounded the Susanoo structure from the four sides and launched Jutsu one after another.
Instantly a series of Earth Wall rose from the ground cutting off any possible escape route.
A combination of Fire Release and Wind Release covered the entire sky in flames, and like a sea of fire, rushed towards Susanoo.
At the same time, Shisui gritted his teeth and used his Susanoo secret technique,
“Susanoo: Tsukumo!”
With Shisui’s shout, the Susanoo opened its ribcage to expose its chest launching a barrage of large, green-colored chakra needles at an incredible speed.
And how could Kuroto silently watch?
So, while still being inside Susanoo’s defense he fired several Kunai wrapped in detonation charm, shurikens, senbons, etc.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
The resulting violent explosion due to the collision of Jutsu shook the whole area.
Countless ninjutsu, throwing tools, detonation charm, chakra needles turned the entire valley into a fiery ground.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the scene of the battlefield was revealed.
The Earth Wall and Dungen created by the Cloud ninjas was completely damaged, dozens of Cloud ninjas in the range of ‘Susanoo Tsukumo’s’ barrage suffered heavy casualties.
But the Susanoo that shielded Kuroto and Shisui from all the attacks although fading slightly, still remained unscathed!
It’s just that Shisui was already kneeling on the ground at this moment, coughing up violently, it looks impossible for him to keep the Susanoo active for much longer.
Fuji who was hidden in the distance carefully observed the Susanoo, and Shisui within it as he secretly said, ‘Such terrifying ninjutsu? Although this is the first time, I have seen such a technique; the chakra consumption has to be severe, from the looks of it the kid can’t bear it any longer!’
From standing unharmed against the attacks of Cloud ninjas just now, Susanoo has proved its unparalleled defense. If an ordinary ninja encounters such a powerful enemy, then it wouldn’t be strange if his/her nerves will freeze from the chakra pressure alone.
Even Fuji is the same in its presence, but his desire to redeem himself is letting him bear the pressure.
Moreover, he knows that this is the territory of Lightning Country and the reinforcements from the surroundings will be coming at any moment. So, no matter how strong the enemy might be, it will never be possible for these two brats to leave here alive.
No matter how strong the defense, no matter how strong the offense, even the 3rd Raikage-sama died in the face of countless enemy ninja, and these two are just some brats.
‘It can block attacks from all directions? From the looks of it, this chakra phantom can’t be broken from the outside, is there no other method? As if suddenly thinking of something, ‘If it’s not possible to attack from the above, will it possible to break through it from the ground?’
Thinking so, Fuji printed several hand seals and then pressed his hands on the ground.
…
Inside Susanoo’s Armor.
While coughing violently, Shisui weakly said, “Kuroto-San, I can’t hold it any longer, please, you have to retreat, I will make sure there is no follow up pursuit from here!”
Kuroto was also catching his breath, shook his head, “It’s not yet time to give up Shisui!”
Although they are in a dire situation, it is still not worse enough to feel despair. Kuroto still has ‘The Secret Technique of Physical Regeneration’ at his arsenal that he got from Orochimaru.
As long as he doesn’t hesitate to overdraft his life, he can recover from his injuries, and chakra can also be extracted from the newly formed cells.
Once that’s done, they can just escape using the flying ability of the Kazekage puppet.
As for the matter of being exposed?
They are already in such a dire situation, so he can’t care much. If he dies here, what good will keeping the Kazekage puppet a secret does?
Just as Kuroto stretched his hand into the ninja bag to take out the Kazekage puppet scroll, he suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet.
Even before he could check for the source, a small crack appeared just below his feet; out of which a lightning snake shot out, rushing straight towards him…
