Chapter 67 We Will Win
"There are seven ninjas in the bamboo forest. Three of them are patrolling around the secret base, and the other four are hiding using invisibility jutsu and maintaining the damaged barrier."
Gojo Yoru and Tsunade lay on top of the boulder, their bodies concealed by a cloth the same color as the boulder—the most basic form of invisibility.
They were gazing at the bamboo forest ahead when they heard the voice of the Slug Immortal.
Before the Slug Immortal's perception, the arrangement inside the bamboo forest was utterly useless.
"There's a barrier, but no chakra energy wall, which means it's not a defensive barrier like the Three-Sided Seal or the Four Purple Flame Formation, but rather a sensory barrier," Tsunade analyzed in a low voice. "This kind of barrier not only covers the ground but also the underground. Even the Earth Flicker Technique cannot escape its perception, and even if you successfully infiltrate it, your chakra fluctuations will be exposed."
"It seems that sneaking in undetected is impossible."
Tsunade turned her head and stared at Gojo Yoru, her expression serious as she stated her plan: "We'll work together to take care of those seven guys as quickly as possible, then search them to see if they have any antidotes. If the secret base below really is a pharmaceutical workshop, once we go in, we shouldn't pay attention to anything else. We should quickly gather everything related to medicine and formulas and have Lord Slug take it back to Shikkotsu Forest."
Gojo Yoru didn't nod, but instead suggested, "Since time is of the essence, let me handle those seven guys. I don't know much about medicine, so it's better to buy some time for Lady Tsunade."
"The ninjas who can take on this kind of guard duty are at least Chunin level. Can you do it?" Tsunade's eyes were somewhat doubtful.
"Don't worry, we'll win." Gojo Yoru grinned.
His confident demeanor startled Tsunade slightly.
Thinking of the Slug Sage's evaluation of him, and then of the Flying Thunder God Technique and his superior Body Flicker Speed, Tsunade nodded and instructed, "Alright, those seven guys are yours! Don't linger if you can't defeat them. We're not sure if the secret base down there is a pharmaceutical workshop. Even if this plan fails, we have other ways to get the antidote."
"Understood." Gojo Yoru made an OK sign.
"They're about to go!"
Tsunade was also filled with fighting spirit.
As the words fell, Gojo Yoru and Tsunade transformed into a blur and flew towards the bamboo forest ahead.
Of the five, Yoru was the fastest, leaving Tsunade far behind in the blink of an eye, shooting into the bamboo forest like a curved lightning bolt.
Since he wasn't completely intangible, Gojou Yoru's chakra was instantly detected by the four Rain Ninjas maintaining the sensory barrier.
"Attention, intruder has broken in."
A rain ninja disguised as a bamboo forest rock informed the patrolling rain ninja of their discovery via walkie-talkie.
The three Rain Ninjas tensed up instantly and were about to take out signal flares to call for help.
The sound of the walkie-talkie ringing again relieved them, and they abandoned the idea.
"There was only one intruder, and his chakra level was... that of a seasoned Chunin."
"It should be the reconnaissance team. Capture him, or leave his head intact and await Lord Hanzo..."
Another Rain Ninja responsible for maintaining the barrier was about to give an order when his voice suddenly stopped.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere, and, through the disguise of an invisibility spell, raised its hand to greet him: "Hello."
"enemy……"
Yu Ren only had time to utter one word before his face was grabbed by a hand, and with tremendous force, he was pulled out of the fake stone.
Instinctively wanting to resist, Yu Ren found that she could not move her limbs.
The perception barrier, now without one person maintaining it, instantly returned to its damaged state.
"Call for help!"
The other three Rain Ninjas responsible for maintaining the barrier shouted immediately.
One of the three Rain Ninjas lingering around the entrance to the secret base was about to take out his signal flare and fire it into the sky to request support.
Whoosh whoosh—
At that moment, three whooshing sounds entered my ears.
Three kunai flew in, arranged in a triangular formation with one in front and two behind.
After glancing at the kunai, the Rain Ninja continued to take out the signal flare.
*Pfft*
Before the kunai could get close, a figure appeared in front of them in an instant, drew his ninja sword and slashed out, ready to block the ninja tools for his comrade.
The blade struck the kunai flying in front, but instead of a clanging metallic sound or a cracking sound, it made the sound of tearing cloth and bursting flesh.
The Rain Ninja, who was wielding his sword, widened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Because the kunai in front of him had turned into the companion who had just been reminding them.
Why is he here?
Why would he shield himself from a knife with a kunai?
In that brief moment of distraction, the other two kunai flew past him on his left and right sides.
Swah——
A flash of light, black mixed with dazzling gold, disappeared before Rain Ninja's eyes.
Darkness and heaviness invaded his vision and consciousness.
His head fell to the ground, but the Rain Ninja's body remained in the posture of swinging his sword.
He didn't even know he was dead.
This way of dying is much happier than the way his two companions died.
The sudden appearance of their companions also left the other two Rain Ninja on patrol stunned.
However, the flying kunai startled them awake.
Forget about retrieving the signal baton, the two Rain Ninja instinctively dodged in a flash, leaping into the air to the left and right.
As they were lifted into the air and moved backward, they witnessed their companion's death.
A black figure appeared out of thin air, shooting out a dazzling golden beam of light from its hand, which swept across its companion's neck.
The golden beam of light seemed to possess invincible power, instantly separating its companion from its head.
This incredible scene shocked the two of them.
"Watch out behind you!"
Suddenly, a notification from a sensory ninja came through their earpieces.
The two instinctively looked behind each other, and their pupils immediately contracted.
Behind the two, in the bamboo grove, a figure stood, seemingly in a throwing motion, as if it had thrown something.
There was no sound of a sharp object entering the body, nor the sound of the vest blocking.
Before they could guess what the other had thrown, a pair of kunai came into view.
Then the familiar black flash, with a dazzling gold hue, flickered back and forth in their eyes.
*Pfft pfft*
As a series of tearing sounds rang out, images of severed limbs flying through the air appeared.
They witnessed once again their companions being cut in half at the waist, and images of limbs being separated from heads.
The limbs, head, and body separated so quickly that by the time the excruciating pain struck, the two Rain Ninja had already lost the ability to scream.
Only the Rain Ninja who was hit by the sealing technique but was not killed by his comrade's sword had his pupils trembling and his eyes filled with fear as he stared at the figure who had landed with his back to him, holding a golden lightsaber, surrounded by a scene of torrential rain of blood and falling corpses.
At this moment, in the eyes of this Rain Ninja, this figure was undoubtedly the most terrifying demon in the ninja world!
