Chapter 193: Fuma Shuriken
The Fire Kingdom is located in the center of the continent. It has a prosperous economy and a thriving population. There are countless rivers of all sizes in the country, and the climate is warm. It has been a treasure land since ancient times.
Due to the constant wars for nearly a thousand years, the population has always been kept at a low ebb, and human footprints have not reached the deep mountains and old forests, so the forest coverage is extremely extensive, which is also a major feature of the Fire Kingdom.
At the edge of an uninhabited forest, the battle reached its most intense moment.
Ye Shan loosened his grip on the steel wire with his left hand, and then took out the last smoke pellet. Sitting and waiting for death was not his style, creating opportunities and opening up paths was his magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
At this moment, the Sand Ninja pursuers behind are less than tens of meters away, and there is still one enemy in ambush who has not launched an attack. Whether he can turn danger into safety and escape depends entirely on the choice he makes.
But no matter what choice he makes, Ye Shan knows one thing very well: the enemy is numerous and we are few, so he must keep a distance at all times. Once he is surrounded again, he will be dead!
"Oh!"
The smoke ball was crushed in Yeshan's hand, and a large cloud of smoke rose up visibly, instantly obscuring his figure. The Sand Ninjas temporarily lost their target.
Ye Shan took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out from the tree trunk without hesitation. With wisps of smoke, he jumped onto a branch as thick as an adult's thigh. Then he took a deep breath, found the next branch and moved again.
This kind of movement speed that relies purely on the body's jumping power is certainly not fast, but it also has an advantage, which is that it can save physical energy and is safe.
The interior of the forest was completely different from ordinary roads. The irregular protruding branches and the swamps that could drown any creature were a great terror and a great threat. If you couldn't dodge in time, you would be scratched and bleeding, or even die on the spot. No one could guarantee that the next target they would step on would be solid ground.
Therefore, ninjas often jump on branches in the forest instead of running honestly.
"Swipe!"
Ye Shan jumped up and down on the branches nimbly like a monkey, leaving only a vaguely visible white butt to the Sand Ninjas... His pants were already leaking everywhere.
The chasing Sand Ninjas felt despair. They didn't understand why this damn Konoha ninja had such abnormal physical strength. After dozens of kilometers of cross-country running and high-intensity fighting, without the support of chakra, relying solely on physical strength, is he still a human being? The intelligence clearly stated that he was a ninjutsu-type ninja! ?
Aren't mages supposed to be fragile? Why is this person's human body technique also abnormal? Is he going to let others have a living?
What the Sand Ninjas didn't know was that Ye Shan had always positioned himself as someone who specialized in Taijutsu and supplemented with Ninjutsu. Without good Taijutsu, no matter how powerful Ninjutsu was, it would be useless. Moreover, in the first ten years of his ninja career, Ye Shan was a well-known escape king, and he was all about one word: stability.
"Bolt is a stinky basket", "Give me three seconds to run a kilometer", "Steady, steady and steady", etc., these are all true portrayals of Ye Shan's first half of his life.
When it comes to escaping, Ye Shan only admires himself.
If he had not been on guard against the ambush that had not yet appeared, Ye Shan would have ridden away on his horse, and the Sand Ninjas would not have had a chance to admire his white and tender butt.
However, the Sand Ninja who was lying in ambush would soon show up, because if he didn't show up, the opportunity to capture him would be completely lost.
Ye Shan retained some strength in every leap, and his intact left hand always held a sharp kunai. He was waiting, waiting for the last ambusher to lose his patience.
Sure enough, just as Ye Shan jumped up, a black shadow rushed out from in front of him. Under the moonlight, the dagger in the black shadow's hand flashed coldly, but the attack seemed very hasty.
"Humph!"
Ye Shan sneered, blocked the opponent's attack with his left hand kunai, and then kicked the enemy's heart hard with his right foot.
"Click, click"
The sound of broken ribs could be clearly heard in the forest. The enemy vomited blood and fell from mid-air, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
"wrong!"
The last Sand Ninja could not be so weak. Ye Shan's heart suddenly beat wildly. He looked closely and found that the other party seemed to be holding something in his left hand.
"What is this? Steel wire?"
Just when Ye Shan vaguely recognized what was in the enemy's hand, a whimpering sound came from behind him, which made him scared to death!
Without looking back, Ye Shan knew that this was the unique sound of a huge ninja tool flying at high speed, and he even knew that the huge ninja tool was Fuma Shuriken!
From the perspective of the Sand Ninja who was kicked and was on the verge of death, a huge Fuma Shuriken was almost shot towards Yeshan in the waist. Once it hit the target, it would probably be broken into two pieces on the spot.
The failure of the first three companions made the Sand Ninja realize the cunning of the enemy, just like a fox in the desert. But even the most cunning fox has its weaknesses. After a brief thought, he discovered Ye Shan's weakness - impatience.
In the previous attack, Ye Shan completely ignored his own injuries and even resorted to the method of exchanging injuries for his life, in order to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. If he launched a blocking attack like his companions, it would definitely be avoided. So, don't worry about your life, use your life to create a chance to kill!
The ninjas who are chosen by Chiyo to carry out beheading missions are all good fighters in the village. They are not only strong in physical skills, but also have strong thoughts!
The Sand Ninjas who were chasing behind didn't understand why their companions' attacks were so weak at first. Could it be that the other party was a spy lurking in Konoha? But after seeing the huge Fuma Shuriken appear in a place no one expected, they understood. Their companions were not weak, but did so on purpose.
Yes, deliberately using one's own life to create an impeccable killing opportunity!
The Sand Ninjas suppressed their grief and jumped at their fastest speed without reservation. They wanted to go forward to finish off the enemy and make sure they were torn into pieces.
The distance was too close, Ye Shan could hear the whimpering sound of the Fuma shuriken cutting through the air; the range was too large, and the effective attack space of nearly three meters blocked all his dodging space.
At this moment, Ye Shan's eyes flashed with all the memories of his past and present lives. There was happiness, sadness, dullness, and intensity. All these things came together, confusing his mind.
"Is this the end? I didn't expect that I would be killed by Fuma Shuriken."
Ye Shan smiled with relief, his whole body relaxed, his eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, closed, and he welcomed death with great ease.
People say that only when a person dies can they truly realize their true self. Ye Shan has seen too many ugly deaths, and he feels that he should die elegantly like a gentleman, even if his death is very miserable.
"I really want to eat a bowl of scallion oil noodles made by my mother..." Ye Shan thought.
"Captain, are you giving up?"
Just as Ye Shan was recalling the taste of scallion oil noodles, Yamashiro Chen's young and resolute face suddenly appeared before his eyes. He was so clear and so lifelike, as if he was really right in front of him.
"Captain Hayama, didn't you tell me that you wanted to change Konoha and the ninja world? Didn't you aspire to be a great ninja like the first Hokage? Do you want to die under the Fuma Shuriken?"
"Don't forget, this life is mine, not yours! I won't allow you to give up!"
"Since God doesn't favor me, the village doesn't like me, and others don't think highly of me, I can only love myself more, I can only think highly of myself, and I can only rely on myself more. I can only work harder, I can only take more risks, and I can only be more motivated! Only in this way can I achieve something, but the Will of Fire emphasizes principles, ethics, friendship, seniority, and bloodline. A person like me, a small person with no background, no talent, and no resources, what do you think I can use to succeed? From the Hokage line, I can only be exploited and oppressed, looking up to you geniuses and beneficiaries. I can only grit my teeth and endure until the opportunity comes. This is the Will of Fire! What a bullshit Will of Fire! Only by abandoning worldly rules and paying a heavy price can you find another way and make a way of your own among the thorns! So, I plotted against you and took away your life and everything you have!"
"I am not doing this to prove that I am awesome, but to say to you high-ranking leaders: QNMD!"
"Captain Ye Shan, isn't this exactly what you said when you assassinated a high-ranking official for the first time? Have you forgotten?"
"Have you forgotten the pain of struggling in the mud? Have you forgotten the humble people who died? Have you forgotten your oath?"
"If I had known that you were a coward who gave up easily, why would I, Shancheng Chen, risk my life to save you?"
"It's not over yet! Baiyun Yeshan, open your eyes!"
"You have suffered too much along the way. Compared with the blood, tears, and sarcasm, what is a mere Fuma Shuriken?"
Ye Shan suddenly opened his eyes wide. Yes, the thorns were chopped into pieces by him, so a Fuma Shuriken was nothing!
