Chapter 95 New Moves, Terrifying Dominance
It was nighttime, and there was a thunderstorm.
The rumbling of thunder and the pouring of rain drowned out the sounds of running and shouting.
Fleeting flashes of lightning occasionally tear through the night, turning darkness into daylight.
With the help of the lightning's illumination, three Konoha ninjas wearing green vests could be seen running back and forth in a certain area.
Their expressions were filled with fear and urgency, as if some ferocious beast was chasing them, and they wished they had more legs so that they could go even faster than their already maximum speed and reach a safe area quickly.
Whether it's a combat unit or a support unit, every ninja squad must consist of four people and act together.
If a member is killed in action, the village will assign a new member to their squad.
If a squad is down to only one person, that person will be assigned to another squad with fewer members, or will be temporarily placed in a support unit.
Under normal circumstances, a mission can only be carried out with four people; this is the rule of every ninja village.
There were only three Konoha ninjas fleeing, which means that one member of their team had already been killed.
Boom—
Lightning once again turned night into day, and deafening thunder resounded throughout the city.
When the thunder subsided, the expressions of the two Konoha ninjas became even more terrified.
Yes, two.
Because yet another person has fallen behind.
Let's turn back time to when lightning tore through the night.
*Pfft*
The sound of thunder almost rang out at the same time as the sound of a sharp weapon entering a body.
The Konoha ninja running behind, responsible for covering their comrades, had just caught sight of the daytime world when a ninja sword covered in flowing water came into view, and then a sharp pain shot through their neck and heart.
The next second, his head detached from his body, his vision spun a few times, and then he was completely consumed by darkness.
In front of him and behind him stood two Rain Ninjas wearing gas masks.
One of the Rain Ninja held a sword in one hand and maintained a hand seal with the other.
Those are the handprints of an illusion.
They instantly killed another Konoha ninja, and the two Rain Ninja disappeared into a puddle of water, continuing their pursuit of the remaining two Konoha ninja.
The entire process, from the instantaneous kill to the complete disappearance, took less than three seconds, just as the thunder ceased.
By the time the Konoha ninja in second place realized that his companions had fallen behind, they had already jumped a considerable distance ahead.
Even using sensory techniques, I cannot detect my comrades' chakra.
He instantly realized that his companion had also been assassinated.
What's even more disheartening is that his sensory techniques are completely ineffective at detecting the enemy's chakra.
Even so, as a qualified ninja, he chose to slow down and use himself as bait to buy time for his comrades.
Having prepared to die, this Konoha ninja actually calmed down.
While he was using his perception technique with his hands in a hand seal, he couldn't find the enemy's location. Suddenly, he thought of something. He kept his hand seal unchanged, but the chakra flowing in his body suddenly became chaotic.
Then his expression changed, and he quickly took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and threw it in the direction of eleven o'clock.
Just then, another bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, illuminating the Rain Ninja standing less than three meters away from the Konoha ninja.
The kunai pierced his body, but instead of making a sound like a sharp weapon entering flesh, it turned into a puddle of water.
Water clone!
The Konoha ninja were very vigilant; the moment he saw the figure, he leaped up.
But the next second, he felt a slight pain in the back of his neck.
Several water senbon needles, taking advantage of the rain curtain, accurately hit the Konoha ninjas who were moving targets.
Then a hand gently patted the back of the heavy vest.
A series of loud explosions, along with the sound of thunder, resounded simultaneously.
Before being engulfed by the flames, the Konoha ninja saw three figures and continued chasing after their companions.
As his consciousness grew heavy and his vision blurred, he vaguely saw another figure holding a ninja sword, severing his head.
"hateful!"
The Konoha ninja running at the front quickly noticed that his companion had disappeared.
He knew that his two companions behind him had been killed.
He had anticipated this situation when their hideout was discovered and their first companion was assassinated.
He desperately wanted to stay and fight alongside his comrades, to fight to the death.
But reason and the qualities of a ninja told him he couldn't do that.
On the enemy's home turf, even with three against four, they might not be able to even manage to switch out one player.
In this kind of weather and environment, even trading one's life for another is not an option.
Even if we are defeated one by one, we must escape.
If they're lucky, the rest of them might survive.
Even if none of them survive, we must try to buy time and lure the enemy into our own territory. If reinforcements arrive in time, there might be a miracle, or we could trade one team for another.
Just like that Konoha ninja who scolded Hatake Sakumo for not saving him and for not prioritizing the mission.
For these inheritors of the Will of Fire, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying in vain!
The Konoha ninjas never expected the enemy to assassinate them so quickly.
The signal requesting backup had barely been sent when two more of their companions were killed in quick succession, clearly indicating that the enemy was no ordinary assassination squad.
Another bolt of lightning ripped through the night, bringing the Konoha ninja to a halt, their eyes filled with despair.
Four Rain Ninjas had surrounded him from all sides, seemingly out of nowhere.
With only one target remaining, the Rain Ninja assassination squad clearly did not intend to continue with assassination, but rather wanted this enemy ninja to die in the most painful and desperate way.
The Konoha ninja did not choose to beg for mercy.
Realizing that escape was impossible, the despair in his eyes was quickly replaced by determination.
He reached into his ninja tool pouch, ready to draw his weapon and fight back at any moment, or to form hand seals and cast a spell at any time.
In the darkness and amidst the thunder, no one made a move, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.
It might be due to the atmosphere.
Less than ten seconds later, another massive bolt of lightning tore through the darkness.
The three Rain Ninja were about to unleash their charged killing moves.
Just then, the Rain Ninja, who was maintaining the genjutsu hand seals, suddenly shouted, "Retreat!"
After saying that, he vanished in an instant without hesitation.
Just like the previous Konoha squad, they ran away without hesitation after seeing one of their comrades assassinated.
This Rain Ninja is just even more outrageous than them.
This violent reaction caused the other three Rain Ninja to instinctively stop their attacks.
sizzle ————
The sound of electric currents colliding reached my ears from afar.
One second it felt like I was far away, but the next second it felt like I was right there.
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, the three Rain Ninjas' pupils shrank instantly, and then they all vanished in a flash.
The Konoha ninja, who had been prepared to die, had a look of intense joy in his eyes, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
In the brief daylight, a figure shrouded in black electricity appeared as if by teleportation, flashing from the edge of the field of vision to right in front of them.
The sound of electric currents colliding did not come from him.
Instead, in his right palm, he grasped a ball of black and white lightning. The piercing sound of the high-frequency currents converging was like the chorus of a thousand birds.
"Lord Ye————"
The Konoha ninja had barely called out the figure's name when the person vanished from his sight.
Immediately, he abandoned the idea of running away and turned around to catch up with Gojo Yoru.
When he used his perception technique, he had just captured the chakra of the five nights when the chakra vanished instantly, having exceeded the range of his perception.
So, he sped off in the direction where the chakra had disappeared.
As they approached that location, the Konoha ninja saw a body broken in two on the road. It wasn't his comrade, but the body of a Rain Ninja.
The other person's expression was filled with the terror of "encountering a monster," and a trace of doubt remained in their eyes, as if they did not know how they died.
The Konoha ninja, using their sensory jutsu again, still couldn't sense Gojou Yoru's chakra. Looking at the smooth, straight cut on the corpse, they couldn't help but sigh, "It's been over a month. Lord Yoru's Body Flicker has become even faster, and the destructive power of his Black Lightning has become even stronger."
The scene then switches to the other three Rain Ninjas.
"If you turn night into day and look down from a god's-eye view, you can appreciate a racing game with a huge disparity in skill levels."
It's like Ferrari first letting three old-age cars scatter and run away for hundreds or thousands of meters, then catching up with them one by one and smashing them into pieces like Gundams.
Unlike the Konoha ninja squad that ran in front and behind, the four Rain Ninja scattered and fled, each looking after themselves.
Because they knew that the village would not send any reinforcements, nor would they have time to do so.
All they could do was try to save their own lives and hope that the monster wasn't targeting them.
To this end, they used every means at their disposal, including water-based instantaneous movement and water-based invisibility techniques, and even water-based clone techniques and shadow clone techniques, to escape separately from their main bodies.
But they hadn't run far when they heard the sound of thousands of birds singing in unison.
Before they could make a move, excruciating pain shot through their bodies.
A black and white lightning spear, moving at a speed that surpassed their reflexes, pierced through their bodies in an instant.
Even if someone manages to escape using Water Substitution and Water Instantaneous Movement, the water stream nearby has not yet reassembled its body before it is cleaved in half by a horizontally approaching lightning spear.
That didn't look like a lightning spear; it looked more like a lightning bolt from a storm release.
Its power is many times greater than that of Storm Release: Laser.
With just a light touch, the body clad in vest and armor was torn apart as easily as paper.
The last Rain Ninja died in the most gruesome and shocking manner.
The black and white laser beam shot diagonally, piercing through the Rain Ninja's body and continuing to extend into the ground.
Then the laser moved upwards, slicing the Rain Ninja's upper body in two.
Along with it, the ground into which the laser penetrated was also split in two.
The smooth, straight cut surface, if not for the traces of lightning, would lead one to suspect that it was not the work of a physical or energy attack, but rather the cutting and erasure by some kind of rule-based force.
In less than two minutes, the Rain Ninja assassin squad, which had been fleeing at full speed, was caught up and killed by Gojo Yoru.
Throughout the entire process, Gojo Yoru did not use any ninjutsu. He simply grabbed a ball of lightning with altered nature, then used shape transformation to turn the lightning into a spear-like laser and shot it out, freely controlling its movement.
However, this level of change in nature and form is already a technique, and it is a Lightning Release ninjutsu with a training difficulty level of A - Chidori Sharp Spear.
To outsiders, this is a black lightning secret technique that changes form.
In the eyes of Kakashi Hatake during the final battle in the original work, these were "Kamui Raikiri" and "Kamui Chidori Sharp Spear" imbued with the power of space and time.
But in Gojo Yoru's case, they should be called Space-Time Escape: Chidori and Space-Time Escape: Chidori Sharp Spear.
More than a month has passed since the end of the second evolution.
Gojo Yoru returned to the battlefield just half a month ago and then displayed terrifying strength, striking fear into the hearts of the Rain Ninja both day and night.
Its fame spread once again throughout the battlefields of the four-nation war.
Because—Gojo Yoru has become stronger.
Yoru Gojo, who is recorded in the ninja manuals of various countries and is known as the Black Flash and the fastest ninja in the world, has a body-instantaneous speed that is recognized as being among the strongest in the ninja world.
There are only a handful of things that can compare to it.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Gojo Yoru, like Tobirama Senju, is the fastest ninja in the ninja world.
His Ghostly Silent Step, Chakra Concealment, Earth Flicker Technique, and Lightning Release Chakra Living Form Technique, which have already spread throughout the ninja world, have earned him the reputation of being the second-best assassin after Hanzo of the Salamander, even surpassing Sakumo Hatake.
After all, Konoha's White Fang did not have a record of injuring a Salamander.
Such a speed of instantaneous movement has reached the limit of what the ninja world knows.
Unexpectedly, after taking a leave of absence for more than half a month, Gojoya returned as if she had been reborn.
Not only was his speed faster, but his chakra level also went from the standard of a special jonin to a genuine all-around jonin, which shocked many people.
But the most outrageous thing is his mastery of lightning techniques.
During his leave, Gojo Yoru seemed to be undergoing arduous training in Lightning Release.
Originally, when using Lightning Release chakra to become alive, Gojo Yoru only had a few arcs of electricity around his body.
After returning, he was able to release electricity throughout his body, which not only increased his teleportation speed but also gave him both offensive and defensive forms. It was very similar to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of the Hidden Cloud Village, a fusion of nature transformation and form transformation.
In addition, he developed Black Lightning Secret Techniques for close combat and mid-to-long range, namely Chidori and Chidori Sharp Spear.
"The Black Lightning of Gojou Nights: Secret Technique" has been confirmed.
Unlike the Black Lightning, which was developed by the Third Raikage and caused immense pain and immobilization when hit, this was different.
The black lightning characteristic of Gojo Yoru is destruction.
Moreover, his black lightning can be fused with ordinary lightning release techniques, giving ordinary lightning release techniques a penetrating and cutting power no less than that of the Thunder God's Sword.
The heavy armor was as fragile as paper in the face of his lightning.
When Gojo Yoru returned, he rarely used the Flying Thunder God Technique or assassination methods.
They almost always use teleportation and lightning release techniques to fight their enemies.
At this moment, some of the stronger individuals realized that even Gojo Yoru's weakest senses had become much stronger.
With his enhanced neural reaction speed and unparalleled body-flickering speed, Gojo Yoru seemed to have become a sensory ninja, always able to detect and dodge attacks and ninjutsu that were about to hit him.
Unlike before, you no longer have to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge.
The electric current, which permeated the entire body, surged within and stimulated cells to increase their speed, and swirled around the body on the outside, combining offense and defense, even rendered the genjutsu ninja who had previously been able to suppress Gojo Yoru completely powerless.
Any ninja he singled out, whether Chunin or Jonin, would freeze in place like a wooden puppet if their reflexes couldn't keep up, and would be easily killed by Gojo Yoru.
In the past, Gojo could also achieve this level, but not as easily or for as long as now.
In this comeback, Gojo Yoru displayed terrifying dominance.
There are only two levels of Jonin: Special Jonin and All-Round Jonin. There is no promotion level of Elite Jonin.
The term "elite Jonin" is simply another name for ace fighters.
The "ace force" refers to the strongest small group among the Jonin.
Their strength is monstrous; they can easily defeat and kill multiple Jonin of the same rank, and even threaten and kill the Five Kage.
The number of S-rank missions he completed far surpassed that of Jonin of the same rank, earning him a unique title that is known throughout the entire ninja world.
The Five Kage are the elite combatants who possess the title of Kage.
With the Five Kage's sacrifice, another ace fighter will take his place.
The Five Shadows are still around, and their elite forces are the sharpest blades in their hands.
During the Five Kage Summit, their elite fighters were their personal bodyguards.
Elite fighters are the top members within the upper echelons of the ninja village.
Danzo Shimura, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Sakumo Hatake, Dan Kato, and the heads of various ninja clans—these are all such figures.
And now, Gojo Yoru has become such a being.
the next morning.
Rain-Hidden Village, Tower.
"Lord Hanzo, according to our count, we killed thirteen enemies in last night's assassination attempt. However, we also lost six assassins, including one assassination squad that was wiped out."
Sagawa knelt on one knee and reported, "Before the operation, I had already given the order that if any danger was encountered and a strong chakra fluctuation was sensed, the assassination should be abandoned immediately and a retreat should be chosen. In the end, an assassination squad was still wiped out. Only a strong person with extremely fast body-flickering speed could leave an assassination squad with nowhere to escape in the midst of a thunderstorm at night. I suspect that it was the work of Konoha's Black Flash."
"Are there deaths every night now? What did that kid go through to achieve such a huge improvement in such a short time?" Hanzo the Salamander murmured, then asked, "How long can our supplies last?"
"We can hold out for another two months," Sagawa said with a troubled expression. "However, at this rate of consumption, the village's production capacity can no longer keep up with the consumption. Even if no accidents happen, the supply troops can only be resupplied twice a month."
"If we continue like this, we—we can only hold out until next year at most."
Upon hearing this, Hanzo the Salamander's eyes showed a rare hint of confusion.
-
He looked down at Sagawa and couldn't help but ask, "Sagawa, tell me—did I do something wrong?"
"Lord Hanzo is not wrong, we are all willing to die for you," Sagawa replied with a firm look in his eyes.
"Yeah----"
Looking at the loyal Sagawa, Hanzo of the Salamander smiled and then waved his hand: "You can go now."
"Yes."
After Sagawa left, Hanzo of the Salamander finally revealed his vulnerable side, muttering to himself with lifeless eyes, "Can't even last two years? Is this the difference between a small country and a large country? Is the fate of a small country truly insurmountable?"
"What pinnacle of the ninja world, what demigod of the ninja world, I—I am a joke."
At this moment, Hanzo the Salamander's spirits plummeted to their lowest point.
His once high-spirited ambition to lead Amegakure to break the oppression of small countries by large ones and change the situation in the ninja world was crushed by the harsh reality.
A demigod in the ninja world is ultimately not a god of ninjas; he cannot quell the chaos of the world like the First Hokage.
Even if one person is powerful, it's useless. Konoha can simply fight a war of attrition and a protracted war against him, leaving him helpless and only able to sit and wait until his resources are depleted, and eventually kill himself.
Even if he eventually manages to break through this front, the remaining resources and troops will not be enough to continue invading the Land of Fire.
If it weren't for his salamander, which could take the entire ninja world down with him, the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth would probably have already taken advantage of him when he was down.
Although the results are not yet in, Hanzo the Salamander knows that he and the Land of Rain have already lost.
Seeing no hope of victory, Hanzo the Salamander was already considering leaving the game.
Yes, exit the stage—not surrender.
