NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 31: Three Against One, the Advantage is Mine!
Chapter 31: Three Against One, the Advantage is Mine!
As the clear shout echoed out, The kunai in the girl's hand extended in the wind, transforming into a short blade about sixty centimeters long.
This was a technique that condensed water flow into a rotating water blade, somewhat similar to the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama's Water Release: Water Severing Wave.
In the next moment, she hurled the water blade, and with a clang, it collided with the black spear that had been forcefully thrown.
The spear's direction shifted slightly, grazing past Uchiha Ci's face before flying away.
Immediately after:
Water Release: Rising Water Slicer.
The girl bent down, her palm touching the ground, and with water splashing under her feet, she reduced friction with the ground, swiftly gliding towards Uchiha Ci below.
Then, she caught the falling Uchiha Ci in a princess carry.
Uchiha Ci couldn't help but be a little dazed, his nose picking up a light, sweet fragrance, like hibiscus flowers growing by the sea.
Before Uchiha Ci could regain his senses,
The leader of the Jashin Cult's eyes turned cold as he saw the unexpected intruder in front of him. He threw two black spears from his hands, stamped his foot on the ground, and formed a Snake seal with both hands, preparing to unleash a ninjutsu.
"What are you spacing out for? Get ready to run!"
The girl's emerald eyes contracted as she glanced at the stunned Uchiha Ci in her arms. Frowning in displeasure, she decisively tossed him aside, nearly causing Uchiha Ci to fall flat on his face.
She then made hand seals with both hands:
Ox → Snake → Ram.
Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique.
A thick mist rapidly spread, enveloping the entire village.
Uchiha Ci felt his hand being grabbed by a soft, delicate one, and then the girl's voice, as clear as a silver bell, rang in his ear:
"Let's go!"
"Go?" Uchiha Ci looked up at the hooded girl in front of him, a strand of reddish-brown hair escaping and dancing by her ear, like the reddened clouds on the horizon.
He quickly snapped out of it, furrowing his brows as he shook off her hand and stood up.
"I can't leave!"
When he had blocked the flying black spear for the little girl Yuko earlier, his palm had been cut by it.
Now, his blood was left at that spot, and the Jashin Cult members could just pick up the spear he had thrown or dig out his blood from the ground to cast Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood!
Uchiha Ci couldn't take the risk of them knowing this core curse technique of the Jashin Cult.
If he fled now and got killed, it might even be considered suicide.
Those 500 million would be gone!
From the moment he stepped forward, Uchiha Ci had no intention of leaving.
The next moment, his eyes turned fierce, and his scarlet Sharingan spun.
His hands formed seals in quick succession, and then he slammed his palm onto the ground!
Super Death Battle Barrier!
This technique, which he had just learned from Moroi, was perfect for this situation!
A light red barrier instantly expanded, locking Uchiha Ci and the three Jashin Cult members inside!
Then, a barrier stretched skyward, pushing everyone else out of the plaza.
"This is my fight alone!"
Uchiha Ci stood up from the ground, a hint of excitement curling at the corners of his lips as he looked at the swirling white mist before him.
With his scarlet Sharingan, he gazed at the three vague figures in the mist, squinting slightly before letting out a cold chuckle:
"Like sneak attacks, huh?"
"Fine, let's start the second round then!"
The girl who had just helped Uchiha Ci was pushed out by the barrier. Stunned, she looked at Uchiha Ci standing within it, biting her lip in frustration.
Was he an idiot!?
She had already created an opportunity for him to escape, yet not only did he not run, he trapped himself inside with the three Jashin Cult members.
He must have a death wish!
At the same time, Hidan, who was also forced out by the barrier, was equally shocked. He couldn't help but shout:
"Ci, are you crazy?!"
"If you go against the Jashin Cult's leaders, everyone in the village will be killed!"
"Besides, you're just a genin, you can't beat them!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened slightly. With his back turned, he raised a hand and gave a thumbs-up, laughing loudly:
"Don't worry, they won't be leaving this barrier as long as I'm alive!"
"Hidan, take this chance and get everyone out of here!"
Without waiting for Hidan's reply, Uchiha Ci began running circles around his enemies within the mist. The red glow of his Sharingan drew long streaks through the fog.
Thanks to the girl's intervention, he had avoided a severe injury. Moreover, her Hidden Mist Technique had bought him some time for a counterattack.
At this moment, the Jashin Cult's leader also realized things were getting tricky.
He immediately gave calm orders to his subordinates:
"He has the Sharingan, which gives him a vision advantage in this environment."
"But we outnumber him! Three against one, the advantage is ours!"
"Musashi, use your Wind Release to blow away the mist. Takeshi, stay alert and protect me."
"I'll retrieve that boy's blood and use Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood to cripple his legs!"
"Then, we kill him!"
With that, the leader charged towards the black spear embedded in the ground.
The Jashin Cult follower named Musashi began making hand seals to unleash his Wind Release.
But just then—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three black shadows suddenly pierced through the mist, shooting straight at the trio!
"Are these... stones?"
Startled, they quickly stepped back, interrupting their actions.
But these weren't just ordinary stones!
It was Uchiha Ci's Master-Level Uchiha Style: Manipulated Shuriken Technique!
In Uchiha Ci's hands, anything could be turned into a throwing weapon.
In the swirling mist, Uchiha Ci dashed low, circling the barrier, constantly picking up stones and broken tree branches from the ground, even pulling out a black spear stuck in the earth, hurling them all towards the trio!
The first few stones merely surprised them,
But the wave of projectiles that followed made them panic!
In just ten seconds, Uchiha Ci had picked up and thrown over thirty stones and more than ten broken, sharp branches.
A dense barrage rained down, covering them like a storm!
Have you ever seen a barrage attack?
Amidst the cover of rocks and wood, a black spear hidden within the chaos shot out with a violent wind!
The Jashin Cult leader's pupils shrank,
The follower Musashi, who had almost finished his Wind Release seals to change the situation,
Let out a choked sound as the black spear pierced through his chest!
He collapsed to the ground with a thud.
But it wasn't over yet!
Uchiha Ci landed, crouching down with a sudden stop, already forming hand seals!
Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Hare → Tiger!
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
Six fireballs flew forward with wild, clawing motions!
Immediately after,
He pulled out three ninja wires tied to stones from his nearly depleted tool pouch and threw them at the remaining Jashin Cult members!
He then made more hand seals:
Snake → Dragon → Hare → Tiger!
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!
Hooking his finger, the Dragon Fire shot out, following the wires and fiercely attacking the two remaining members!
"Damn! What is with this kid?!"
The Jashin Cult leader's breath caught as fear filled his eyes, quickly dropping to the ground to dodge.
His heart trembled in shock.
Damn it, why can this kid throw so much?!
"You think it's three people surrounding me?!"
Sneering at the two in shock, Uchiha Ci chuckled with disdain:
"Wrong!"
"It's me, surrounding you!"
