Chapter 449 Underground Rice

"Haha, these two little guys are quite strong."

"How could you be so careless as to fall into my trap?"

In the dark void, a faint female voice echoed.

Uzumaki Karin was in a better position. With her chakra activating Kagura's inner vision, she had already reached a point where she no longer needed to see with her naked eyes. Her surroundings were completely visible in her mind, so naturally, she felt no fear.

Haruno Sakura is different.

Even though her strength had improved greatly, she was still a little panicked in the pitch-black environment and subconsciously took out a flashlight from her ninja tool bag.

The light reappeared, and she felt more at ease when she saw Karin Uzumaki not far away.

"Who is playing tricks!" Haruno Sakura shouted softly.

But got no response.

"Come out if you can!"

"Are you scared and can only do these little tricks, or are you too ugly to be seen in public?"

Haruno Sakura tried to provoke the other party.

The faint female voice sounded again, without a trace of anger.

"Little girl, your temper is as violent as your fists."

"In that case, it would be cuter to die."

As the voice fell, the soil under Haruno Sakura's feet began to tremble, and then the soil rolled over and wrapped around Haruno Sakura.

"Be careful!" Uzumaki Karin warned. Haruno Sakura was also startled by the sudden change and jumped back hastily, but the surging soil continued to sweep towards her like a living thing.

In a panic, Haruno Sakura had to use her super strength again and charge a punch!

"Bang!!!~" The mud and sand scattered everywhere.

The effect was so good that Haruno Sakura was surprised.

In her perception, the soil that had just been swept away seemed to be wrapped in chakra, but under his strange power, the soil and chakra were shattered together, giving her the feeling of... a little crispness.

When she was unsure, Uzumaki Karin beside her confirmed her feeling.

"The opponent's chakra has been dispersed! Physical attacks are very useful!"

The opponent's chakra was completely consumed as if it was released by a ninjutsu.

Haruno Sakura looked at her fist, then looked up at the layer of soil surrounding her, her eyebrows raised.

"That's it?"

"..."

Got no response.

Just as Haruno Sakura was about to talk trash, the ground shook again.

Just when the two thought that the other party was going to use the same trick again, the expected attack did not come, but the soil layer began to change.

Thick and thin pillars of earth rose and fell. Wall after wall of earth shifted and coalesced. The earth above and below moved.

The two of them were in it and felt that the whole world was spinning.

Occasionally, a few earth-condensed attacks were broken up by Haruno Sakura again. Layers of earth waves seemed to want to drown the two of them, but under the bombardment of Haruno Sakura's super strength technique and Uzumaki Karin's physical technique, a large amount of the enemy's chakra was broken up and consumed, so the attacks gradually stopped appearing, leaving only the earth layers changing faster and faster.

The two could only keep moving within the space.

"Bastard!" Haruno Sakura cursed angrily.

Uzumaki Karin moved her body while sensing the situation.

After a moment, she guessed, "The disadvantage of Earth Style, which changes the terrain on a large scale, is that it consumes chakra and has a weak resistance to attacks. The enemy realized that their attack was ineffective and wanted to use the terrain change to trap us."

The noise of the earth was quite loud, and Haruno Sakura could only barely hear Uzumaki Karin's words. She said loudly, "What should we do now?"

Uzumaki Karin: "Wait!"

Wait?

Haruno Sakura couldn't understand, but she had no other choice now.

After an unknown amount of time, when Haruno Sakura and the others were already exhausted and panting, the changes in the soil finally stopped.

The two men staggered and then steady themselves.

Haruno Sakura looked a little embarrassed: "Is it over?"

She's going to throw up if this doesn't end.

Uzumaki Karin hummed.

Haruno Sakura then asked, "What should we do now?"

The terrain had changed so much that she didn't even know where she was.

"Wait a minute." Uzumaki Karin said, once again using Kagura's mind eyes to the maximum.

Time passed second by second, and after a moment, Uzumaki Karin opened her eyes with a serious expression.

"We are underground...about a hundred meters."

Haruno Sakura's expression changed when she heard this.

One hundred meters.

On flat ground, for a ninja, the distance is so short that it can be reached in a few breaths.

But if it was placed above the head... just think about the thick earth layer at a height of one hundred meters above the head. Even Haruno Sakura couldn't help but feel depressed.

She looked at the barely spacious space around her, and her medical ninja instincts allowed her to make a judgment.

Analyze the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content of the space beneath the soil.

"Half an hour."

"The space here is too small. The air is only enough for us to last half an hour. If we consume it intensively, the time will be even shorter."

Haruno Sakura said seriously: "We must get out as soon as possible."

Uzumaki Karin nodded in agreement with the other party's idea.

Just as she was thinking about how to get out, Haruno Sakura had already rolled up her sleeves and was about to attack the soil above her head.

"Wait!" she hurriedly stopped him.

Haruno Sakura stopped raising her arm in confusion and asked, "Wait what?"

"Shouldn't we hurry up now?"

Uzumaki Karin said, "It's true that you need to seize the moment. But if you just rush in like this, what if the enemy uses the same technique again?"

"How much chakra do you have, and how long can you perform strange power techniques?"

Haruno Sakura thought about it and realized that when she was halfway through digging a hole upwards, she was swept back underground by the earth escape technique again... She felt a chill in her heart.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Uzumaki Karin thought for a moment and said, "Based on what we just experienced, I suspect the opponent's ninjutsu has certain limitations."

"The enemy used Earth Escape to trap us underground, but underground, the only technique they can perform is Earth Escape. Also, when chakra and Earth Escape are attached, the structure is loose and easily broken apart, and the speed is not fast enough."

"So, if you want to take action, you have to be quick!"

“Do it as fast as possible!”

"A vertical distance of one hundred meters, how long would it take you to use your full strength?"

Haruno Sakura thought about it seriously. The density of the soil, the gravity, the power of her own supernatural power, the force of drilling upwards, the side effects of the recoil, the time required to land, and the time required to rebound and accumulate power...

After careful consideration, Haruno Sakura said, "At full strength, it will take about 30 seconds, and no more than 40 seconds at the slowest."

Underground, affected by gravity, her supernatural powers would be greatly limited, and the damage she could inflict wouldn't be as severe as on flat ground. Even if she tried her best, she could only open up a distance of about five or six meters.

Including the time to charge, land, avoid falling objects and adjust breathing, a distance of 25 meters will take at least seconds.

Uzumaki Karin nodded, then asked, "What about the side effects?"
