Chapter 276 Disembowelment

After entering spring, the rain in the New Rain Land gradually became thinner, evolving into the current drizzle, falling from the sky tirelessly, embellishing the green mountains with even more lush greenery.

The violent wind-attribute chakra created hurricanes, sweeping up rain and leaves and attacking Terumi Kozue from the Hidden Mist Village. This was only a tentative attack by Shimura Danno, but it was powerful enough to cause the rain to disappear within a certain range.

Terumi Hong stared at his opponent expressionlessly, his hands hidden in his sleeves had already formed hand seals. Just when the strong wind was about to overwhelm him, he calmly released his ninjutsu.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

The huge fireball swallowed up the oncoming hurricane, then suddenly expanded in size and flew towards its destination in the nick of time.

It is not a wise choice to use Fire Style Ninjutsu in places with heavy rain, but the battles between ninjas emphasize the restraint of attributes. Even if the power of Fire Style Ninjutsu is weakened, it is still terrifying with the blessing of wind attribute chakra.

Shimura Danno's expression was indifferent, and the chakra at the bottom of his feet exploded instantly. His body broke free from the constraints of gravity and leaped into the air in an instant. The iron ball in his left hand made a rustling sound, and he bit the enemy as nimbly as a poisonous snake.

Terumi Hong ducked to avoid the attack of the iron ball, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and the seal in his hand changed. The rain in the air seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand and turned into a water dragon, smashing towards Shimura Danno who had nowhere to get support.

Shimura Danno groaned and exploded into smoke, but he managed to avoid the fatal blow in time through the substitution technique.

The brief confrontation between the two seemed ordinary, but it was full of murderous intent. The ninjutsu they used were mostly basic ninjutsu, which almost every Chunin could master, but the timing of releasing ninjutsu was very good, and only experienced people could do it with ease.

Terumi Hong was still standing on the thick tree trunk, his eyes constantly searching for suspicious places around him. He did not find any enemy on the left, right, or bottom. He fixed his eyes and threw a few kunai upwards without hesitation.

"whoosh whoosh"

Shimura Danno's body happened to appear in the flight path of the kunai, and the sneak attack that was originally intended to seize the initiative turned into an encounter in an instant. The clanging sound of iron colliding continued in the forest.

After a while, Shimura Danno got tired of the meaningless physical fight, and found the right opportunity to tie a big tree with an iron chain, and then pulled it hard, breaking away from the enemy's entanglement and creating some distance.

Due to the hindrance of seals required to release ninjutsu, if a ninja wants to use ninjutsu to create a killing opportunity in battle, the first thing to do is to increase the distance. Therefore, when Shimura Danno successfully left the battle, even though his hands were wearing special ninja tools, his speed was not affected at all and he flew like a butterfly through flowers.

Five hand seals in one second, this is the speed of hand seals that Shimura Danno has mastered after spending most of his life. To put it bluntly, he has surpassed most ninjas with this hand seal alone.

When the ninja seal was completed, he threw out a few shurikens at random, followed by the ninjutsu he had prepared.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The flying shuriken turned from one to two, from two to four, and from four to eight, and in an instant they split into a dense mass, turning the original meaningless attack into an indiscriminate attack.

Terumi Hong narrowed her eyes and quickly calculated the flying speed of the shuriken in her mind. She thought she had enough time to release ninjutsu to escape, so she immediately formed a seal with her hands and tried to form a seal.

Shimura Danno smiled coldly, the seals in his hands changed suddenly, his chest swelled high, and a gust of wind gushed out of his mouth, landing on the shuriken with incredible precision.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

With the help of the wind, the shuriken pierced through the rain curtain, making a sharp explosion sound, spanning a distance of dozens of meters and directly hitting the enemy with a string of candied haws.

Terumi Hong looked at her pierced body in disbelief, and turned into a pool of water that splashed onto the ground. It was the water clone she released that blocked the disaster.

Shimura Danno was not surprised at all. As the deputy chief of the Kirigakure Anbu, it would be strange if he died so easily. The combination ninjutsu he learned from the Third Hokage was aimed at disrupting the enemy's offensive rhythm, thereby creating a flaw to seize the initiative. It was never a killer in battle.

But Terumi Hong would not easily give up the initiative in the battle. He prepared his own ninjutsu almost the moment the shuriken pierced through his clone.

"Water Style: Rain Needles!"

The rain suddenly stopped, and under the effect of chakra, it turned into extremely sharp rain needles, and then poured down towards the direction where Shimura Danno was, with an extremely terrifying sound.

Rain needles are different from shuriken in that they are very small and there are more of them, covering the entire area where Shimura Danno is standing. If he uses hand seals to release a substitution technique to dodge, he will be greeted by the enemy's next wave of ruthless attacks. Once he falls into the enemy's offensive rhythm, defeat is a matter of time.

Shimura Danno took a deep breath and swung the iron chain in his left hand to form a barrier above his head. A large amount of wind attribute chakra attached to the iron chain, and combined with the high-speed rotation of the iron chain, it turned into a fan-like object. The dense rain needles were mercilessly swept away by the rotating iron chain, and returned to the state of raindrops and dripped on the ground.

Another round of ninjutsu tests began. The two sides stared at each other from a distance of dozens of meters. Murderous aura raged in the forest. The surrounding environment became bumpy and many trees were broken in half. It was obvious that the battle was in a stalemate.

"The Ripper of Konohagakure is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is far beyond the reach of ordinary jonin." Terumi Hong said calmly.

Shimura Danno didn't say anything. He was a taciturn guy, the kind of person who couldn't make a sound even if he was hit with three sticks. Naturally, he wouldn't say a word when facing the enemy.

"We are equally strong. No one will benefit if we continue to fight. Why don't we just stop here? You go your way and I go mine. How about that?"

Terumi Hong is unwilling to risk his life in a fight, especially with a madman. Although his fighting style is also brutal, it depends on who he is compared with. Compared with the Root ninjas, he is a living bodhisattva. Who in the whole ninja world doesn't know that the Root is a group of ruthless robots? In order to complete the task, they can even kill their own relatives with their own hands. There is no humanity at all.

"Not so good." Shimura Danno's voice was hoarse, making people feel uncomfortable. "The order I received was to eliminate all suspicious persons, and where did you get the confidence to say that we are equally strong?"

Zhao Meihong smiled slyly and said sinisterly: "Just based on this!"

"Gather it for me!"

The rain that had just been scattered around Shimura Danno began to swirl wildly, and before he could react, it turned into a water whip that bound his body. The murderous aura in Terumi Hong's eyes condensed into substance, and the speed of forming seals in her hands reached her personal highest level. In almost the blink of an eye, a water gun shot at the immobilized opponent.

At this point, the cautious Terumi Hong still did not rush forward to finish off the enemy, but kept a safe distance and used ninjutsu to give the enemy a fatal blow. A moment later, the enemy's body turned into smoke and dissipated, proving his wisdom. If he had walked forward, he would have fallen into a trap.

The essence of ninja warfare is deception. Both of them are old-timers with a long history of fame. They are masters of deception, which makes outsiders dazzled and frightened.

Shimura Danno appeared from behind the trees, his expression neither sad nor happy. Ninjas are powerful with their skills, so they naturally fight with their skills. Since simple ninjutsu cannot achieve the purpose of killing, then they have only one choice left, and that is to continue close combat.

Shimura Danno snorted coldly, and the wind-attribute chakra in his body attached to the weapons in his hands, giving them powerful cutting power. From a distance, it looked like he was holding Lan Zhanzhan's weapon.

The Shimura clan is one of the few ninja clans that do not have bloodline boundaries and do not rely on insects and other external objects. Logically, they have no place to stand. Fortunately, all of their clansmen can awaken the precious wind attribute chakra, which allows them to barely stand in the ninja world surrounded by powerful enemies. The terrifying thing about wind attribute chakra is its unparalleled cutting power. Ordinary weapons will break at the touch. Unless you can crush them with physical skills, you will definitely be passive in the battle.

Terumi Hong looked solemn, knowing that the other party was serious, bit her finger and scratched the scroll she took out, but she summoned a strange-looking ninja tool. This ninja tool is very famous in the ninja world, and it is the beheading sword among the Seven Hidden Mist!

In the past, the user of the beheading sword was killed by Hayama and Namikaze Minato, and the ninja sword was thrown away somewhere by him. Unexpectedly, it was still found by the Hidden Mist Village, and I don’t know how much effort it took.

There was nothing much to say. Shimura Danno approached instantly with a sharp weapon in hand. The iron chain on his left hand rattled, and he grabbed forward with the sharp claws of his right hand, as if he was ready to attack from both sides.

Terumi Hong calmly held the huge beheading sword in front of her chest to block the opponent's oncoming attack, then pressed the handle of the sword with her right hand to use the force to half jump up to avoid the attack of the chain, and then her feet turned into afterimages and kicked forward fiercely.

Shimura Danno stared at the opponent's hands without blinking, and his right iron claw deftly bypassed the obstructing beheading sword and grabbed the opponent's face again.

"Oh!"

As expected, Shimura Danno was kicked out by Terumi Hong's series of kicks. Before he could take advantage of the victory, the iron chain wrapped around the beheading sword like a poisonous snake. The subsequent pulling force made him suddenly lose his balance, and he was about to fall face down on the ground.

Terumi Hong snorted coldly, and used force from her waist and hands, combining the two to pull back the beheading sword, and at the same time pulled back the flying Shimura Danno, and swung the sharp sword in a circle, aiming at the opponent's waist and sweeping it over.

Since he was facing away from the enemy, Shimura Danno's sight was not on the enemy, but as a veteran in battle, he still judged the attack direction from the roar of the air. The chakra on the iron claw of his right hand suddenly increased and was placed behind his back, barely blocking the fatal blow of the beheading sword. Then he exerted force with his left hand and continued to try to seize the opponent's weapon with the iron chain.

This time, Shimura Danno got what he wanted. He successfully seized the opponent's weapon, although the price was being kicked away.

The beheading sword was sealed, and Shimura Danno paid the price of vomiting blood to gain a certain advantage. There was no surprise or joy in his eyes, and he approached again in an instant, vowing to fight to the end.

Without her weapon, Terumi Hong immediately fell into a disadvantage, and had to move around in the narrow space to avoid the opponent's sharp attacks. The best defense is offense, and soon, Terumi Hong was out of breath, with several shallow wounds on her body, and it seemed that she would be defeated and killed in just a cigarette.

When Shimura Danno approached again and attacked from above with his weapons, Terumi Hong gritted her teeth and did not dodge, but took out two kunai to fight back. As expected, the fine kunai was cut in half, and then the iron claws and iron balls attacked with undiminished force. But at this moment, Terumi Hong smiled sinisterly, took a few steps forward to avoid the opponent's attack, and then puffed her cheeks, and a puff of white mist sprayed out.

"Boiling Escape·Qiao Mist Technique!"

This was Terumi Hiroshi's hidden trump card, designed to determine the outcome of the battle with one strike. And the secret technique did not disappoint him, as it directly covered the unsuspecting Shimura Danno head-on, using its powerful corrosive power to make the enemy scream in agony.

How could Terumi Hong let go of such a golden opportunity? While her opponent was in disarray, she raised her right index finger and launched another ninjutsu!

"Water Style: Water Gun!"

An ordinary drop of water appeared on the tip of his finger, then whistled out and pierced through Shimura Danno's head at close range!

Terumi Hong heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile of success appeared on his face. However, his smile soon froze, because Shimura Danno's body turned into a breeze, which wrapped around his body before he could react, making him unable to move!

A figure rushed out from the bushes, and an iron chain arrived in front of Terumi Hong, hitting her chest in front of her horrified gaze. The powerful force instantly deprived her of the ability to breathe.

This is not the end yet. Shimura Danno, whose conspiracy had succeeded, came in front of the enemy and pierced the iron claw of his right hand into his chest. With just a twist and a pull, a heart that was still beating slightly was pulled out. He then threw it into the air and scratched it to pieces with the iron claw!

Everything happened in a few seconds. The battle situation took two 180-degree turns in a few seconds, which was dazzling. Terumi Hong, who originally thought she had won, still couldn't escape the fate of being disemboweled. Her life was like a candle in the wind, and it was unstable.

Shimura Danno was neither sad nor happy. He slowly put away his weapon and looked at Terumi Hong who was still twitching slightly but not dead yet. For the first time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You seem to be nothing special, yet you dare to address the Hokage by his name. You really don't know what you are talking about!"

Terumi Hong, who was lying on the ground, had eyes full of reluctance and unwillingness. He had no intention of answering Shimura Danno's words. He couldn't understand why he couldn't see the other party releasing the seal to release his clone, which was the direct cause of his defeat and death.
