#707 - Snatch and quick knife to cut the mess

This Takigakure ninja was none other than Hayakawa Yato, the special Jonin from the sealing squad in charge of this sealing operation.

Aomine locked onto him to ensure the interruption of the opponent's sealing ritual.

Whoosh~

A flash of cold light.

Aomine waved his right hand, and a kunai slipped out of his sleeve, grasped in his palm.

Then, he slashed it towards the opponent's neck with lightning speed.

Aomine's movements were too fast and too sudden. Despite the warning from the Takigakure elder, Hayakawa Yato's reaction was still half a beat slow.

He was merely a special Jonin specializing in sealing techniques, not very proficient in combat, especially close combat.

Therefore, Aomine's kunai accurately slashed across the opponent's throat.

“嗬嗬嗬”

A strong sense of suffocation came, and Hayakawa Yato retreated several steps, clutching his neck, his eyes full of disbelief.

He seemed to find it hard to believe that he was about to die like this.

Indeed, as a Jonin skilled in sealing techniques, in a small ninja village like Takigakure, he was no exaggeration to call him a treasure.

In the past, every time he went out, he was accompanied by Anbu, and he didn't have to worry about safety at all.

But today…

Hayakawa Yato looked at the 'late' Anbu and Aomine, whose eyes revealed indifference, and a trace of regret suddenly arose in his heart.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have placed his safety entirely on others. If he had another chance, he would definitely spend some time on cultivation.

In the ninja world, whether it's sealing techniques or any other ability, it's ultimately just an auxiliary. Only being strong yourself is true strength.

At the last moment of his life, Hayakawa Yato finally understood this principle.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Bang~

A muffled sound came, and Hayakawa Yato's body fell heavily to the ground.

All of this seems like a long time, but it actually happened in an instant.

When Hayakawa Yato fell to the ground, the Takigakure elder reacted and roared, "Yato!"

"Damn it, kill him for me!"

An angry voice came from his mouth, and his gaze towards Aomine was full of killing intent.

In fact, without his order, the Takigakure Anbu had already begun to act.

Unfortunately, even if they were the elite of Takigakure Village, their strength was only so-so in front of Aomine.

Aomine did not activate the Sharingan, but only relied on the powerful perception brought by the 23 points of '精神' attribute to avoid their first wave of encirclement.

Seizing the opportunity, Aomine raised his hand and instantly formed the '巳－未－申－亥－寅' five seals, unleashing the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Dragon Spear!

Don't look at this technique as just a C-rank ninjutsu, but when used in the right place, its power is no less than an ordinary B-rank ninjutsu, or even higher.

As for what place is more suitable?

It's very simple, a closed environment is enough.

For example, this cave right now.

Clap~

Aomine pressed one hand on the ground.

A large amount of earth-style chakra was instantly injected into the ground by him, communicating with the earth veins within, generating hundreds or thousands of rock thorns.

These rock thorns were controlled by Aomine, stabbing towards the Takigakure ninjas in the cave.

Forced by him, these Takigakure ninjas had to dodge one after another.

So, under Aomine's intentional manipulation, a large area around 7 tails was vacated.

Taking this opportunity, Aomine flashed to 7 tails' side and was about to attack 7 tails.

But these Takigakure ninjas were not stupid either. At the first moment he attacked, they guessed that his purpose might be related to 7 tails.

Now seeing him approaching 7 tails, they naturally reacted violently.

Almost at the first moment, several people attacked, either throwing kunai, or using ninjutsu, or forcibly breaking through the barrier created by 'Earth Style: Earth Dragon Spear', rushing towards him, trying to kill him on the spot.

At the very least, they had to entangle him.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Aomine's mouth under the mask twitched slightly, without any intention of confronting them head-on.

With keen perception and excellent physical fitness, he dodged their attacks with several flashes.

Not only that, he also took the opportunity to stick to 7 tails, raised his hand and was about to use the 'Self-Inflicted Curse Binding Seal' to control it.

But 7 tails seemed to sense the danger and immediately launched an indiscriminate attack on him and all the Takigakure ninjas in the cave.

Previously, the opponent had already broken free from some of the sealing restraints.

Just now, the Takigakure ninjas responsible for suppressing it were forced away by him again.

This made 7 tails' range of activity even greater.

I saw it flapping its wings, not only driving the airflow to form a strong wind, but also scattered countless scales of powder in the cave.

The strong wind was fine, whether it was Aomine or the Takigakure ninjas, as long as they gathered chakra at the soles of their feet, they could basically stabilize their bodies.

But scale powder was different.

It can not only block people's vision and affect people's perception, but also contains highly toxic. Once inhaled or stick to, one will immediately be paralyzed and unable to move.

This is the tailed beast. As long as you give them a little chance, they can cause huge casualties.

No wonder people regard them as a symbol of disaster!

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Aomine quickly restrained his thoughts, stabilized his body, concentrated his mind, and activated the Byakugan.

Suddenly, his vision interfered by scale powder was restored, and he regained perception of the surrounding chakra.

"Hmm?"

Aomine seemed to have discovered something, his body suddenly flashed, narrowly avoiding the attacks launched by several Takigakure Anbu.

Obviously, these Takigakure Anbu were very aware of 7 tails' abilities. Although they were also affected to some extent, they still tried hard to launch attacks.

Unfortunately, they did not expect that Aomine could be unaffected by 7 tails.

That's right, it was unaffected.

The poison carried by the scale powder was directly resisted by his super physical fitness. Although it did not reach the level of immunity, he could still move freely.

In this way, the sneak attack would naturally not succeed.

However, Aomine did not launch a counterattack against them either.

This time, his main goal was to capture 7 tails, not to make things difficult for Takigakure Village.

So, there was no need to create unnecessary complications.

What's more, now was an excellent opportunity, not to be missed.

Through the Byakugan vision, Aomine clearly saw a trace of panic in 7 tails' compound eyes.

He smiled slightly, and before it could make its next move, he unleashed the 'Self-Inflicted Curse Binding Seal'.

In an instant, dense black patterns appeared, covering 7 tails' entire body, making it unable to move.

7 tails struggled desperately, but it did nothing except consume a little more of Aomine's chakra.

On the other side, seeing 7 tails being bound, several Takigakure sealing squad members who had recovered immediately stepped forward and were about to activate the sealing formula on the ground to seal Aomine together with 7 tails.

Unfortunately, their movements were too slow.

Almost at the first moment they acted, Aomine activated the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Then, he activated the eye technique residing in his left eye - Amenotejikara!

In just an instant, the figures of Aomine and 7 tails disappeared before everyone's eyes.

This scene left all the Takigakure ninjas in the cave stunned in place.

For a time, the cave was quiet.

After a full number of breaths, one person muttered, "How is this possible?"

This voice was like a signal, instantly breaking the quiet in the cave.

Immediately, the cave was noisy, some were searching for the trace of Aomine and 7 tails, some were guessing Aomine's means, and some were urgently contacting the outside.

In short, it seemed very chaotic.

Seeing this, the Takigakure elder frowned slightly and shouted, "Silence!"

Hearing this, the Takigakure ninjas immediately quieted down.

The Takigakure elder glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "The other party is carrying 7 tails, it is absolutely impossible to run far. Now the village is blockaded inside and outside, it must still be in the village, even near this cave. You immediately organize manpower to search."

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Hearing the Takigakure elder's words, the Takigakure ninjas finally recovered a little calmness and answered in unison.

However, just as they were about to act, a Takigakure ninja suddenly flusteredly ran in.

Seeing this scene, whether it was the Takigakure elder or others, a premonition of something bad arose in their hearts.

And his next words also confirmed that their premonition was correct.
