Earth Release: Barrier Technique

This is a C-rank Earth Release ninjutsu, belonging to the lower level of the B-rank 'Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall'.

With the earthen wall, which could only withstand the defense for a few seconds, about to be breached, the employer was moved, the guard was shocked, and the blonde girl used her ninjutsu to tackle Might Guy's body. The next moment, the wealthy man in front of the window froze, and saw the earthen wall shatter instantly, with the remaining lightning chakra ball coming straight at him.

"I******"

"I take back what I said about Konoha ninjas being the best ninjas!"

Shoto Mizutani ducked down just in time, and the lightning ball struck the wood around the carriage, leaving several charred marks on the outside and inside.

"Damn it! Is this how you protect your employer?!"

“Your carriage is made of solid wood. Wood has poor electrical conductivity, and the power of this C-rank lightning release is insufficient to penetrate the carriage.” Yakushi Nonou got up from the ground. To the side, the two-centimeter-thick earthen wall, which had lost its chakra output and had several holes broken in it, completely lost its support and collapsed with a crash, turning into rubble.

"Uh. So that's how it is." Mizutani Shoto carefully examined the charred spot inside the carriage, confirming that it was indeed only the surface charred. His lips twitched. "Then I really misunderstood you."

"However, this Mr. Dai seems to be a genin like you, how could he not know?"

Might Guy, who trains in physical skills every day and has even forgotten some basic common sense, was speechless.

I'm so sorry I'm a bad student.

"Tch. Not solved yet, but we've roughly figured out their strength." Ritsu's attack just now wasn't intended to actually kill them or their employer; it was merely using ninjutsu to analyze the strength of the three members of their genin squad.

Ritsu's green eyes scanned the blonde girl, determining she was a support-type ninja. Although the girl's Earth Release technique was weak, her hand seals were quick, which saved the idiotic, thick-browed man.

The man with thick eyebrows hasn't used any ninjutsu from the beginning until now: he might just be a useless taijutsu ninja.

Turning his head, Ritsu's green eyes reflected the Uchiha girl who was forming hand seals.

"It seems the only opponent I need to deal with is... wait a minute!"

He then realized that the other party had already completed the hand seals, and an orange-red light was flashing in front of the girl's red lips—"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Mikoto Uchiha recalled Shirahoshi's words of instruction from that night: "When you encounter an enemy, deal with them decisively and cleanly. Don't get distracted by the enemy!"

boom! ! !

The explosion sent up gusts of wind, and the fire-style ninjutsu, known for its indestructibility, would not easily defeat this elite Chunin from Kumogakure. Ritsu used the Substitution Jutsu to land in the grass, continuing his previous thoughts.

"The C-rank Great Fireball Technique, the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, is very powerful and has a wide range."

"But with the chakra of a genin, this level of fire jutsu power can only be used once at most. However, the opponent is, after all, a ninja from the Uchiha clan, so there's a high probability that he can use it 2-3 times..."

"In other words, we can't force the issue before we've exhausted their chakra; we have to plan ahead. By the way, why haven't Captain Aya and Vei managed to deal with this genin for so long?!"

......

In the jungle, the two from Kumogakure each stood on a large tree, looking ahead at Shirahoshi, who was leaning to the side of the tree trunk, using chakra to grip the side of the trunk, and slowly walked to the trunk to stand up straight.

"You are ninjas from Kumogakure, aren't you?"

"I remember that the Hidden Cloud Village did not participate in World War II, so why did they attack us within the Land of Iron?"

Aya glanced at the completely collapsed half of the tree, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. She wondered what kind of ninjutsu this was, that it could be so powerful.

Upon hearing Shirahoshi's words, Aya didn't offer much explanation: "Do you think we'd tell you?"

"Even if your swordsmanship is excellent, this is as far as you can go!"

There was no sign of human habitation in this area, and the animals had all been frightened away by the sound of the trees collapsing.

Therefore,

Two against one, the advantage is in my hands!

Aya didn't dare to compete with a ninja of such skill in swordsmanship. She began to form hand seals: "In the ninja world, swords only play a supporting role for ninjas. The core strength of a ninja is ultimately ninjutsu."

"Therefore, Konoha's swordsmanship genius, please remember my name, Aya, the Cloud Village Jonin, codenamed Thunder Lion!"

Shirahoshi calmly watched this stray dog, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, show off in front of him. At this moment, Aya had finished forming twelve complex hand seals, her hands gripping the hilts of the two sharp knives hanging on her body:

"go to hell!"

"Lightning Release: Thunder Lion's Roar!"

Chapter 19 A Class of Pure Genin - Konoha Really Lies

"go to hell!"

"Lightning Release: Thunder Lion's Roar!"

In the woods, a bald man wearing a blue and white tight-fitting vest suddenly unleashed blue lightning arcs in his hands, and his twin swords were launched in an instant.

The twin blades flew out and hovered in mid-air, where blue arcs of lightning began to form above them. Moments later, the lightning seemed to be drawn together—linking together to form a creature that looked like a lion, but more like a wild dog with invisible wings.

Shirahoshi expressionlessly shifted her body slightly, easily dodging the lightning attack from the Cloud Hidden Wild Dog known as 'Thunder Lion'.

"That's it?"

Shirahoshi looked disdainful.

The black-haired man standing next to the bald man sneered, "As expected, the captain is the strongest!"

As soon as Vee spoke, Shirahoshi realized he had been a bit careless. Although he hadn't turned around to look behind him, judging from the bald man's right hand maintaining a sword-pointing gesture—if he wasn't mistaken, this was a navigable stray dog?!

As expected, the blue lightning lion tore through several tree branches and flew into the sky. When it was halfway up, it turned its head in an instant and connected with the blue lightning that was barely visible to the naked eye at Aya's fingertip—"This is the real ultimate move, Lightning Release: Lion Flash!"

Aye quickly pressed his right hand to the ground and moved away from their original position with Vii beside him at an even faster speed. The next second, an arc of electricity appeared on the ground like a compass, connecting with the blue lion in mid-air.

"Knew it."

With a whoosh, this lightning bolt was ten times faster than before, landing like a missile that had just landed where Aye's right hand had been.

A deep blue light pierced through the jungle and struck the leaf-strewn ground.

The Cloud Village duo, who had been keeping a close eye on Shirahoshi, clearly saw that Shirahoshi had no time to react before being pierced through by lightning—

boom! ! !

On land, Aya's Wild Dog... oh no, Lion Flash created a dent several meters in size. The complexity of this ninjutsu goes without saying. For this unprecedented Lightning Release ninjutsu, Shirahoshi rated it as S-rank difficulty, but its power and effectiveness...

It has the power of an A-level weapon at its peak, and its effect is at most that of a B-level weapon.

Jonin's battles are decisive and swift, leaving no room for retreat; every move is a fatal blow.

If Shirahoshi weren't a genin, and if the information provided hadn't stated that Shirahoshi wasn't skilled in ninjutsu, or even mastered the Three Body Technique, perhaps in those brief two or three seconds, Aya, as a jonin, would have already realized she needed to look at Shirahoshi, examine the body, and be wary of her surroundings.

Instead of continuing to admire the ending of his self-created A-rank ninjutsu, he completely failed to notice the black-haired boy who used substitution jutsu and earth-style ninjutsu to infiltrate underground.

"It's time to capture the Uchiha ninja." Aya, having watched the entire landing of her newly created A-rank ninjutsu, felt a surge of pride. She raised her gaze to the white figure standing on the tree trunk...

"not good!"

"What's wrong, Captain?" Vee looked up and saw that Shirahoshi had turned into a stand-in wooden stake with a charred hole in the middle of the wood.

"I really don't know what you were thinking when you created this kind of complicated, auditory- and visually-impairing positioning lightning technique."

Upon arriving at the base of the Cloud Hidden Duo, Shirahoshi's upper body emerged. Starting from Shirahoshi's right hand, the invisible 'ROOM space' instantly expanded outwards, generating a 180-degree, light blue, transparent sphere.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?! Could it be a bloodline limit?!" Aya shouted, trying to struggle, but Shirahoshi's body was already almost completely exposed, gripping the sword and gently twirling it.

"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"

The ROOM space, disregarding distance, sliced ​​Aya and Vee's bodies in two. The speed was so fast that the two used their Stands almost at the same time the knife struck their bodies.

Inside the ROOM, Shirahoshi could sense everything enveloped by the pale blue light. He watched silently as the two used substitution techniques—substitution jutsu isn't a space-time ninjutsu; it requires using legs.

After the two formed the hand seals, they found themselves standing motionless in the same spot, and they were immediately dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Did you find you can't move?" Bai Xing's voice sounded behind them. At this moment, Bai Xing's voice was like a devil's deep murmur, "Don't worry~ It won't hurt~ The doctor will give you a free operation~"

"No... what have you done to us!" Aya shouted, unaware that although their bodies were pressed together, they had already separated.

"Captain, kill him!"

The black-haired youth, who had twisted his body forcefully but whose lower body and thighs remained motionless, roared as he gripped the kunai in his hand.

"Viy?"

"What's wrong Captain?"

Unaware of the strangeness in his body, Vii turned his head to look at the bald man who was looking at him with a face full of fear.

"You you you you you—"

"Alright." Shirahoshi lightly brandished the ninja sword in her hand again, seemingly without moving. "I've only lost my lower body, but I still have plenty of time ahead of me."

In an instant, both of their arms were severed, and with a thud, they fell to the ground, losing all weight. At this moment, Vee finally came to her senses, looked down at her condition, and screamed in despair:

"Impossible, this is impossible! You're not a genin at all! We've fallen for their trap!"

Aye-i thought he was quite knowledgeable, but he had never seen such terrifying blood-related abilities before. "My companions will avenge me."

He instinctively wanted to use his psychic powers to transmit the final message...

Looking down, he discovered that both of his arms had already fallen to the ground.

Grass!

Finished!

"Is that so? They have no chance, and no one will know what happened here." Bai Xing revealed a devilish smile, the pale blue space around her pressed tightly against the ground. "In this space, time, space, all objects, and even your lives are in my control."

"Including your voices."

It wasn't dark yet, just a bit overcast with lots of clouds. A cold wind blew in front of them, and the two, their eyes vacant, shook their heads vigorously, hoping to get away from the demonic ninja who was getting closer to them.

"Don't worry, you won't die until I've done enough experiments."

Without limbs connected to the brain, the Cloud Village ninjas could only stand on the ground, subjected to various experiments by that seemingly cold and handsome but now dark and enigmatic young man, much like the ancient torture known as "human pig."

"Didn't I return it to you? Why aren't you moving it?"

When Vii looked at his right hand, he realized it was connected to Ayeyi's left leg, which had lost its toes, and everything went black.

Even Aya, a Jonin, couldn't withstand it for long. Although the entire surgery was painless, the sight of it was truly chilling.

In his final, deranged state, he muttered, "Kill me, kill me."

"Boring." Having grown tired of playing, Shirahoshi disassembled her experimental masterpiece one by one, opened the ROOM space, and plunged a knife into the hearts of the two. "With this kind of mental fortitude, don't be a ninja in your next life."

After saying that, he stomped on their brains to crush them, preventing intelligence agencies from learning his true strength: if he didn't have teammates, he might be able to play for a while longer.

Over there, Ritsu hid in the bushes and launched several sneak attacks, but all of them were observed by Uchiha Mikoto and failed.
