Chapter 57 Battle, Healing
He told Uchiha Mikoto how he felt.
"Ms. Mikoto, it's so quiet here. Even the sounds of insects and mice seem to have quieted down."
Before Mikoto Uchiha could speak, Asuma Sarutobi's voice came from ahead.
"Nebula, don't always be in such a rush to show off."
"They're all genin, how come I didn't notice anything unusual?"
"It's normal for the insects to be quieter in the afternoon because the temperature is low."
"Asuma!!" Mikoto Uchiha suddenly shouted softly.
"Ms. Mikoto, you agree with what I said..."
"Whoosh~" A sudden, ear-piercing sound of wind breaking through the air rang out!
The sudden change made Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widen in surprise. He looked ahead and saw a half-person-tall Fuma Shuriken rapidly enlarging in front of him!
He could only parry the double blades in front of him!
With a muffled clang, the twin blades collided with the Wind Demon's shuriken, the immense impact sending him flying backward.
The Fuma Shuriken is not an attack that can be easily blocked by the naked body.
With one side possessing immense strength and the other hastily responding, the overwhelming force directly tore apart Sarutobi Asuma's defense. He was in mid-air, blood already spilling from the corner of his mouth, when he fell to the ground with a "thump" and remained silent.
Sarutobi Asuma is temporarily offline!
Before the group could even pay attention to the silent Sarutobi Asuma, a distinct machine gun sound rang out, and three identical Fuma Shuriken came flying through the air one after another!
Shen Yue Xingyun exerted force with her feet, her figure flashed, and at the same time, she parried to the side with her long sword.
"Clang!!" Amidst the flying sparks, the wind demon's shuriken was deflected by the longsword's parry, but its momentum remained undiminished as it sliced through several large tree trunks before finally coming to a stop.
A loud bang came from the side, as Uchiha Mikoto instantly appeared in front of Yuhi Kurenai, blocking a fatal blow for her.
Mikoto Uchiha's expression turned serious.
"Defense!"
With a soft shout, Uchiha Mikoto waved her hands.
The kunai carrying the explosive tag was quickly shot in the direction from which the Fuma shuriken came, and at the same time, he raised his body and suddenly moved forward!
"Boom boom~"
The flames and thick smoke obscured their vision, and Uchiha Mikoto rushed into the fire.
The faint sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.
A few breaths later, a tall figure emerged from the thick smoke, his muscular arms gripping a heavy sword, his running momentum astounding.
At this moment, the tall figure's eyes were filled with panic.
He ran while shouting.
"Misunderstand!"
"This is a misunderstanding! He fell into my trap!"
Hearing the rapidly approaching whooshing sound behind him, his eyes grew increasingly panicked. With nowhere else to go, he spotted the figures of Shenyue Xingyun and the others.
His eyes flickered for a moment, then hardened. He swung his heavy sword around behind him in a wide arc, using it as a defense, and charged towards Shenyue Xingyun and the other two.
A man, a woman, and a useless trap hunter.
A glimmer of hope immediately appeared in the man's eyes.
He realized that this was a complete Konoha graduation team, and if he could take one of them hostage, there might still be a chance to survive.
Running like crazy!
He gripped the heavy sword tightly in his hand, and the ground seemed to tremble with each step he took.
near, near.
He saw the girl's increasingly panicked gaze, and then he saw the incredibly handsome boy in front of him holding a long sword horizontally with his knees slightly bent.
Hmm, you have good eyesight.
In less than a second, he identified his target—this kid with the sword!
Looking like that, he's definitely not an ordinary genin! He might be the young master of some powerful clan.
He gripped his heavy sword tightly, his bulging muscles straining as he mentally rehearsed how he would knock the opponent's sword away and from what angle he would dismember the opponent's limbs.
Seeing his opponent grip his longsword tightly and lower his knees again, he sneered inwardly.
"Swoosh~" A sharp sound of wind being cut!
Something seemed to fly past his eyes, and then the man's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he swung his heavy sword forward!
"Bang!~" Sparks flew as the thin steel wire struck the blade!
Before they could even break free from the steel wire, a sudden burst of force came from the wire, and their bodies were sent flying backward!
"Damn it!!" With a curse, the man suddenly swung his heavy sword in mid-air, and his body flipped vertically in mid-air as his center of gravity shifted!
Although the steel wire was still wrapped around the sword, his posture had also turned around, facing Uchiha Mikoto directly!
"You forced me to do this!!" With a shout, the man quickly formed hand seals in mid-air, loosening his grip on the hilt of his heavy sword.
As his chakra was rapidly depleted, earth and rocks sprang up out of thin air, covering his strong arms like armor!
His arms had grown much larger, and then he gripped the heavy sword tightly again, ready to slash down at Uchiha Mikoto, who was tethered to the steel wire in front of him!
Suddenly, the movement stopped.
His arms were stiff as he watched the woman getting closer and closer, his eyes filled with fear.
"U...Uchiha"
The red light of the three-tomoe jade pendant became the last image he ever saw in his life.
"Pfft!~"
As figures passed each other, the head flew far away under the impact of blood pressure, falling onto the loose layer of dead leaves, kicking up a cloud of dust.
After defeating the enemy, Mikoto Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.
After quickly preparing the body, they approached the three people.
Shinzuki Seiun was examining Sarutobi Asuma's injuries under Kurenai Yuhi's worried gaze.
Mikoto Uchiha: "How is the situation?"
Shingetsu Seiun removed his hands from Sarutobi Asuma's body.
"He was just knocked unconscious."
"Internal injuries, three ribs broken."
"It's not a big problem."
Mikoto Uchiha nodded, then said, "You did a good job just now."
"His timely reaction and act of blocking his teammate deserves special praise."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded slightly.
But then Mikoto Uchiha changed the subject: "But that was still too reckless. The enemy's strength was close to that of a Jonin. Did you think you could stop them all by yourself with just a sword? Remember to think before you act impulsively next time!"
Shingetsu Nebula: "...Oh."
Mikoto Uchiha nodded in satisfaction: "Alright. Asuma's injuries aren't serious, let's take him and evacuate first."
"Okay." Shingetsu Seiun didn't waste any words. He took out a bandage and gave Sarutobi Asuma a simple bandage, then carried him on his back.
Along the way, Kurenai looked somewhat downcast, as she had been completely ineffective in the battle just now.
Mikoto Uchiha warned, "Kurenai, stay alert. There might be more than one enemy lying in ambush. You could be in danger at any moment."
"It's normal that your reaction wasn't quick enough when you first encountered an emergency. But you must learn from this experience!"
"In the world of ninjas, enemies will not show mercy because you are weak."
With her eyes lowered, Yuhi Kurenai replied, "I understand."
"Mikoto-sensei, how come there are enemies within the Land of Fire? And weren't those enemies from Iwagakure? Why are they here?"
Mikoto Uchiha said, "The ninja forces stationed at the front lines can only withstand large-scale attacks."
"It's very difficult to completely eradicate the infiltration of individual ninjas."
"During sensitive periods, intelligence ninjas from various countries will be dispatched in droves, not just confined to their own countries."
"To gather information and intercept intelligence."
"And there were also young ninjas who attacked and killed the enemy!"
Kurenai Yuhi fell silent.
At that moment, she finally felt the cruelty of war firsthand.
It wasn't a casual guess she and Asma made, but a real danger that someone could die at any moment.
