Chapter 33 - Genius Ninja
The border of the Fire Nation.
A deep, artificially dug canyon, thirty meters wide and endlessly long, with a turbulent river below.
call out!
A cold light flashed, and it turned out to be a kunai shot from the other side of the border canyon, with a steel wire hanging at the end.
The kunai was inserted straight into the rock wall, and the steel wire connected to the end was also pulled straight up, building a steel wire bridge across the canyon.
call out!
A figure walked briskly on the wire like a dragonfly skimming the water. In a few blinks of an eye, he crossed the wire bridge and arrived in the territory of the Fire Country.
"Phew... safe!"
The visitor looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. After crossing the border, it would be much safer with the border patrol.
Those mad dogs in the Hidden Cloud Village probably wouldn't dare to cross the border to hunt him down.
The Fire Nation's border patrol team is equipped with large chakra sensing balls that can quickly sense the occurrence and location of violent chakra fluctuations in a large area, and then notify the patrol team's ninjas to go for support or inspection.
Every member of the border patrol is a jonin.
Only the Jonin can hold out until the rapid arrival of support forces when the enemy invades the Land of Fire, but other Chunin cannot.
Therefore, Konoha ninjas who are carrying out missions abroad will generally be much safer as long as they cross the border.
At least you don't have to worry about encountering multiple enemies without support.
So at this time, Uchiha Keisuke, who had just returned from the mission, felt relaxed and his vigilance was lowered a lot.
"S-rank mission completed!"
Uchiha Keisuke shook the mission scroll in his hand and smiled in his heart. He would go back and see if there was anyone in the village who dared to question their ability to complete the mission.
He even completed the S-rank mission of going deep into the heart of the Land of Lightning to retrieve "important confidential information" in the Hidden Cloud Village with ease. Whoever can do this can return safely from the pursuit of the Anbu in the Hidden Cloud Village.
It was him, and it could only be him, Uchiha Keisuke.
After all, he is the genius of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha Keisuke looked relaxed along the way, thinking proudly in his heart, and unknowingly came to a small forest.
Suddenly, Uchiha Keisuke's heart tightened, and before he could react, the ground around him suddenly rose... No, it wasn't rising, the ground under his feet suddenly fell.
And the speed was very fast. In an instant, Uchiha Keisuke was in mid-air with nowhere to gain support and fell freely.
"Enemy attack!"
In an instant, Uchiha Keisuke realized that he was ambushed by the enemy.
But he was not panicked at all, and his three-magatama Sharingan opened instantly.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this time, six kunai were shot from the left and right sides above, aiming directly at Uchiha Keisuke's head, heart and other vital parts.
Although Uchiha Keisuke had nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, his hands were very agile and he instantly took out four kunai from the ninja tool bag on his waist.
The Uchiha clan's unique kunai throwing technique, coupled with the Sharingan's terrifying observation ability, and finally, Uchiha Keisuke's genius brain computing power.
In just a moment, Uchiha Keisuke found out four angles and four kunai throwing techniques with different speeds and strengths. He used the rebound to instantly shoot down the nine kunai shot at him, and he could avoid the remaining three by twisting his body.
However, just as Uchiha Keisuke was about to throw the kunai, he saw that there was a detonating talisman wrapped around the handle of each kunai, and it was specially dyed with black paint to be the same color as the kunai. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
Only the Sharingan's observation ability is amazing enough to detect abnormalities in the kunai shot at high speed.
If other ninjas come, after knocking away nine kunai, they will twist their bodies to avoid the remaining three kunai in an instant, and will be seriously injured by the explosive tags on the three kunai that are close to them.
"It's a pity that you met me, the genius of the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Keisuke's thoughts flashed wildly and quickly, and he changed his response plan in an instant. His body was able to react instantly to the changes in his brain.
Uchiha Keisuke instantly let go of the kunai in his hand and formed seals with both hands.
"Water escape, water rushes into waves!"
Instantly, a circular stream of water condensed around Uchiha Keisuke, and then rushed upward at an angle like an exploding stream of water.
The twelve kunai shot from both sides were washed away by the water flow and could no longer penetrate Uchiha Keisuke's body.
The person who fired the kunai seemed to know that their covert detonating talisman attack had been discovered.
However, they still detonated the detonating tags on the kunai.
Boom boom boom...!
The detonating tags on the twelve kunai all exploded. In an instant, the high temperature caused by the explosion evaporated a large cloud of water vapor.
Combined with the two hundred square meter semi-enclosed space trap formed by the ground falling, a large amount of water vapor at this moment played the effect of the water escape technique and the fog hiding technique.
Uchiha Keisuke's Sharingan vision was instantly greatly suppressed, and his ability to release Sharingan illusions that required eye contact was also restrained.
Without the influence of the Sharingan illusion, the Uchiha clan's ninjas were not suppressed in strength, but at least they provided other ninjas with a fair fighting environment.
There's no way, the Sharingan illusion is just that powerful.
However, without the help of the Sharingan illusion, Uchiha Keisuke was not panicked at all.
Although the Mist Hidden Technique can restrain the Sharingan illusion, the Sharingan, which can see chakra, also has a certain advantage in perception under the Mist Hidden Technique, and is not much worse than those who are proficient in the Mist Hidden Technique of killing.
Uchiha Keisuke quickly took out two kunai from his ninja tool bag again.
The two kunai this time were specially made, with a steel wire connected to the end of each.
Uchiha Keisuke prepared to shoot the kunai at the stone walls on both sides and straighten the wire to give himself a foothold.
Now he is still in mid-air.
His vision was affected by the steam, and he could no longer see the detonating tag wrapped around the kunai handle as he had just seen in advance.
In addition, relying solely on hearing always delays his reaction time, making it impossible for him to react and respond as quickly as he did just now.
The enemy is well aware of the Uchiha clan's capabilities.
First, he used the Earth-Escape Seismic Core to drop the ground where he was, leaving him in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, while also creating a relatively closed space.
At the same time, if the sneak attack using the detonating talisman fails, he will use the water vapor brought about by the high temperature of the detonating talisman to form the Mist Hiding Technique to suppress his Sharingan's visual observation ability and illusion, so as to make final preparations for the next attack.
Uchiha Keisuke knew without even thinking that after suppressing his Sharingan's vision and a certain degree of observation, there must be kunai wrapped with detonating tags attacking from all directions.
In this semi-enclosed space, still in mid-air, he could not stop so many hidden kunai detonating tags.
As for using water escape to carry out a ranged defensive attack?
That's how a fool would respond.
Would the enemy never imagine that he could use water escape to wash away the explosive talisman and kunai that were shot at him?
It is inevitable that if he continues to use water escape, there may be another round of targeted attacks.
As for this next round of targeted attacks, he has too little intelligence and cannot blindly trust his own cognitive judgment.
If he didn't guess it, he would be injured if not killed.
If injured, he might not survive until the arrival of the Border Patrol.
So the best way to deal with it is to disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm.
When the enemy thought he was going to fall, he would do the opposite and use the steel wire at the end of the kunai to form a fulcrum in the air, just like when he crossed the border canyon, and use it to bounce back and break out of the encirclement.
As long as he gets outside the trap and takes advantage of the open terrain, his Sharingan can exert its maximum suppressive power.
Finally, when the border patrol arrives, the enemies who attacked him will have to stay if they don't leave.
