Chapter 313 Cruel

A leaf reluctantly left its home under the ravages of the autumn wind. The continuous drizzle wet it all over, but also increased its weight, allowing it to return to its roots better and faster to finish its life.

Suddenly, a hurricane that did not belong to the natural world emerged, ruthlessly tearing the leaves apart, and then the shrill roar was heard.

The three Konoha ninja members who had made up their minds to kill at this moment, and they used various methods one after another, gradually forcing the young Yakushi Kabuto into an unfamiliar rhythm of battle in the muddy woods.

Kabuto Yakushi was hiding on the treetops, breathing heavily. His face was burning with pain. He reached out and found a wound. Thinking carefully, it was probably caused by the enemy's wind escape ninjutsu. Kabuto Yakushi took out a pill and swallowed it. His breathing gradually stabilized. He knew that he could not be so passive any longer, so he decided to fight back.

The three enemies are different from each other. The leading guy is good at wind jutsu, and every time he attacks, there will be a noise that makes the heaven and earth pale in comparison; the thin ninja seems to be good at physical skills and swordsmanship, and he specifically chooses the flaws revealed when the enemies are avoiding ninjutsu to launch sneak attacks; as for the last enemy, not only is he plain-looking, but he also rarely attacks, and only released one earth jutsu from beginning to end.

Yakushi Kabuto frowned, quickly calculating the enemy's weaknesses in his mind, and finally chose the thin ninja who specialized in physical skills. As long as he got rid of him, it would be much easier for him to escape even if he was defeated.

After making up his mind, Kabuto Yakushi looked at the watch on his wrist. This was a new battlefield watch launched by the Konoha Ninja Village in recent years. It was waterproof and cold-proof, and was durable, and was deeply loved by the village ninjas. But for Kabuto Yakushi, it also had a more important meaning. Before leaving, the brothers and sisters in the orphanage used the New Year's money they had saved for several years to buy it.

"It's three o'clock. According to the school's schedule, it's time for physical education class."

After a sigh in his heart, Yakushi Kabuto crushed the smoke bomb he had prepared long ago. Suddenly, dark purple smoke filled the forest, covering his figure.

The ninja who used the earth escape technique focused his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "The boy is at nine o'clock!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leading ninja threw out a kunai wrapped in an explosive tag without hesitation, and then formed seals with his hands and released a large-scale wind-style ninjutsu.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Yakushi Kabuto shuttled through the treetops like a monkey, his eyes fixed on the three enemies. When he noticed that his opponents' response strategies had not changed, a sneer flashed across his lips.

Whether it is kunai or wind-style ninjutsu, it is difficult to hit a target that is already on guard and moving, but the aftermath still interrupts Kabuto Yakushi's movements. Under the influence of the hurricane, Kabuto Yakushi's body floats down from a tree like a fallen leaf.

A gleaming ninja sword appeared silently behind Kabuto Yakushi. The skinny ninja swung his sword expressionlessly, but was blocked by a kunai as expected. With the remaining force of the collision, Kabuto Yakushi accelerated his fall, and the skinny ninja also flew backwards, about to land on the treetops.

The rain covered the pungent smell of the oil, but the skinny ninja still caught a hint of something wrong. In a hurry, he looked back at the tree trunk where he was about to land, and sure enough, he saw a pool of oil. It was too late to change his position, but the skinny ninja was experienced in fighting for a long time. His feet were instantly wrapped in dark blue chakra and landed steadily on the oil. Then he bent his knees slightly and gathered strength to fight again in close combat.

Due to the continuous rain all year round, not only are the people of the Rain Country naturally inferior to others, but most of the trees in the country are also short, as if they are malnourished. The thin ninja was standing only five or six meters above the ground. Just as he was accumulating strength to eject, a figure suddenly jumped out of the mud, carrying a fierce killing intent.

The skinny ninja raised his eyebrows, made a quick calculation in his mind, and without temporarily changing his actions, he fired the bullet just before the attacker launched an attack. However, the target was not the intended enemy, but someone who wanted to reunite with his companions.

In a hurry, the thin ninja's body flew over the clone on the ground that was used to lure the enemy. He held the ninja sword tightly in his hand to guard against the clone's sudden attack, but he saw a puff of green smoke coming out of the clone's body.

"This is... a detonating talisman!"

The thin ninja's face finally changed drastically, not for the impending explosion, but for the boy named Kabuto Yakushi. If everything went according to the boy's plan, then Kabuto Yakushi was really too smart. You know, the attacks from his side were linked one after another, and each wave was more intense than the last, but in this situation, the enemy actually had the mind to design a counterattack plan, and it was so seamless!

We are not afraid of enemies with strong military power, but we are afraid of enemies with brains. In the ninja world, examples of the weak defeating the strong are common, and the reason is that they are all caused by the weak who have high combat wisdom.

"burst!"

Kabuto Yakushi clasped his hands together in front of his chest and rubbed them together. His palms were instantly wrapped in dark blue chakra. Then he took a deep breath and rushed towards the enemy who was blown away by the aftermath of the explosion.

The thin ninja's face was gloomy. He had sensed the crisis as soon as he saw the detonating tag on the clone, but it was too late for his two companions to release ninjutsu to support him. Everything depended on his own response.

Everything happened in a flash. When the skinny ninja gritted his teeth and clenched the ninja sword in his hand, Kabuto Yakushi had already shot behind the enemy. His two palms full of chakra transformed into killing moves, forming a dazzling net, and were about to cut the enemy into pieces!

"Konoha Style: Willow Leaf Slash!"

Even though he was at a disadvantage with his back to the enemy, even though his internal energy was disordered, even though he seemed to be in a desperate situation, the thin ninja still did not panic at all. At the critical moment, he chose to trust his most proficient ninja sword. A large amount of chakra flowed into his arm from the meridians, and the shinobi sword with a cold light trembled slightly, and it turned into a series of phantoms like a willow leaf in the spring breeze, seemingly slowly but quickly laying a solid defense line behind him.

The tinkling sounds drowned out the sounds of rain and wind. All the sounds in the world seemed to disappear, leaving only the heartbeats and breathing of the two people in mid-air.

Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were gloomy. The design that he was proud of did not achieve the desired effect. The enemy's slashing attacks became a line of defense that firmly blocked his attacks. In a few seconds at most, the combined ninjutsu of the other two enemies would be ready. Then he would be truly at the end of his rope!

Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but think of Hayama's instructions before leaving. To outsiders, a leader would definitely tell his subordinates to go all out before a major task, but surprisingly, the Hokage, who was known for his iron-blooded toughness since taking office, did not say any empty words like the will of the ninja village. Instead, he took the trouble to share his fighting experience when he was young.

"If you want to survive in this cruel ninja world, you have to be ruthless. Be ruthless to your enemies and even more ruthless to yourself!"

When saying this, the Hokage's face was heavy. At that time, Kabuto Yakushi didn't understand, but at this moment he suddenly realized.

So, under the surprised gazes of several ruthless jonin, Kabuto Yakushi took out the detonating tag without hesitation, and threw it lightly between the narrow distance between himself and the thin ninja.

"you..."

The skinny ninja was really scared of his death this time. He was in mid-air with nowhere to dodge, and the ninja sword in his hand was swinging, and he couldn't make hand seals or perform substitution techniques. Once hit by the explosive talisman, he would lose at least half his life!

"burst!"

The detonating tag was activated by chakra, and the sealed Fire Style exploded. This Fire Style, jokingly known as the Running Style, instantly completed its mission in the small space.

After the fire, two people with flames on their bodies fell to the ground helplessly. The other two ninjas didn't even look at their companions whose life or death was unknown. They all came in front of Kabuto Yakushi in an instant and stabbed the other's neck with the kunai in their hands. It was obvious that they wanted to complete the task first before doing anything else.

Yakushi Kabuto gritted his teeth and turned over to avoid the enemy's attack regardless of the severe pain in his body. The two Konoha ninjas changed their offensive with expressionless faces, as if they were determined to fight to the death. But at this moment, another detonating talisman lit up at the place where Yakushi Kabuto fell.

The two Konoha ninjas were startled and did not bother to kill the enemy. They cautiously kept their distance and dodged. However, they did not see the flames produced by the explosion of the detonating tag. Instead, they saw the figure of Kabuto Yakushi covering his mouth and running away.

"..."

Obviously, it was a detonating talisman used to lure the enemy in order to force him to retreat. But after seeing the boy's ruthlessness, the two Konoha ninjas did not dare to take the risk and gamble on Kabuto Yakushi's determination to die together, which allowed him to seize a glimmer of hope to escape.

The leading ninja shook his head and did not chase immediately. Instead, he squatted down and checked his companion's injuries.

"The back was blown open and the spine was damaged by the impact, but fortunately there is no immediate danger to life. If treatment is timely, there will be no sequelae."

The skinny ninja lay in the mud with his eyes wide open, but he said nothing and allowed his companions to look through his rotten flesh. The scene was really a bit scary.

The Palm Immortal Technique was released at the first opportunity, and the unique warmth of the water attribute chakra brought a spring rain to the damaged muscle tissue, but the damaged bones were difficult to heal in a short time and needed rest.

"That guy named Kabuto Yakushi is undoubtedly a genius with high combat skills. It's a pity that he was blind and followed Orochimaru. Otherwise, his achievements in a few years would have surpassed you and me."

The leading ninja looked regretful, looked at his two companions and said: "You stay here to recover, I will go after the injured Kabuto Yakushi, no matter what the result is, we will meet at the No. 3 base at six o'clock."

There are many geniuses, especially in Konohagakure, but only a few have grown up. This battle has just begun, and it is still unknown who will win!
