Chapter 84 Blocking the Enemy (Seeking recommendation votes, monthly votes, and rewards)
This sudden attack clearly caught the Chunin off guard, and in his panic, he could only manage a barely passable parry.
Seeing that Taichi could still attack others even under his oppression, the green-haired Takagi felt humiliated. He immediately changed the direction of the kunai in his hand, from a normal grip to a reverse grip, and stabbed it fiercely downwards at the fallen Taichi.
Taichi, now lying on the ground, was also risking his life, abandoning the short sword in his hand and trying to grab the hands of the green-haired Takagi.
Seeing Taichi's desperate stance, Takagi immediately knew that this was probably another "shadow clone."
.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Those who use shadow clones have such dirty hearts." Thinking this, he turned to back away.
Just as the group was entangled in this situation, a continuous barrage of fireballs descended from a nearby tree, engulfing everything in their path.
The attack seemed to be unleashed by six or seven people simultaneously.
The explosions were far more violent than the previous detonators, completely razing the ground to the ground.
At this moment, Taiichi, having unleashed his ninjutsu, turned and ran without hesitation, not even glancing at his spoils.
When the explosion subsided, there was no trace of "Yohei" or "Taiichi" left; only two charred corpses still burning remained. Clearly, the bombing had killed two more bounty hunter ninjas.
Takagi, who had escaped to the edge of the explosion, was still shaken. If he had been any later, he would have lost his life too.
The entire battle took place in the blink of an eye. At this time, the other two bounty hunters arrived. Seeing that two more of their comrades had died in just a few breaths, they couldn't help but want to retreat.
"Boss, should we keep chasing?" Asata mustered his courage and asked.
"Are you an idiot? That brat is at most a special Jonin. If I don't even dare to chase him, how am I supposed to survive in the bounty ninja circle?" Green-haired Takagi launched into a tirade of abuse.
Asata shrank back immediately after being scolded, and dared not utter another word.
"Don't worry, that kid ran all the way and just created three more shadow clones and used two area-of-effect ninjutsu. His chakra is probably running out too. Besides, he caught us off guard with his underhanded tactics before. We just need to be careful not to get ambushed by him later," the green-haired Takagi analyzed.
Upon hearing this, the remaining ninjas felt that the facts were just as Takagi had analyzed, and their confidence was rekindled.
"Let's go, let's catch up. I'll lead the charge," the green-haired Takagi encouraged them one last time. He then led the way in the direction Taiichi had fled.
Let's turn back time.
When Yang Ping felt the intense heat of the flames behind him, he couldn't help but turn around for a glance. What he saw was a vast sea of fire, completely obscuring his view and destroying all traces he had left behind.
At this moment, Yangping suppressed his regret and resisted the urge to go back and fight alongside Taiyi, continuing to run towards the outpost.
He wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand, lowered his head to wipe away the glistening tears that were obstructing his vision, and when Yangping looked up again, the crimson of the Sharingan flashed in his eyes, but the single tomoe in his eyes had quietly turned into a double tomoe.
Feeling the increased power in his eyes and the surge of chakra within his body, Yangping knew that his Sharingan had definitely advanced. However, he suppressed the urge to turn back and, using this sudden power, burst forth at an even faster speed to reach the outpost.
He knew that only by returning to the outpost as soon as possible could he find Captain Yamaguchi to come and rescue Taiichi, as his current strength was still too weak.
The trees on both sides were rushing past, and Yangping estimated that it would take about an hour to reach the camp.
"Taiyi, you must hold on," Yangping thought to himself.
After unleashing the Phoenix Flame, Taiyi fled without looking back. He hadn't run more than a few steps when his mind went blank. This was a message relayed by his shadow clone as it dissipated.
Analyzing the memories in his mind, he confirmed that before the shadow clone dissipated, it had entangled a Chunin enemy. Therefore, this Fire Release technique had at least achieved one result.
Unfortunately, the green-haired ninja was too wary, and the shadow clone failed to grab his hands. Otherwise, even if he didn't die, injuring him would have been a worthwhile trade.
Feeling the dwindling chakra within him, Taiichi made a silent vow: "Even if I have to wear you down today, I'll wear you down. I refuse to believe you can outlast me."
Thinking about it, he added a little attribute to his physique, and immediately a warm current swept over his whole body, completely restoring the chakra and stamina that had been greatly depleted.
"Haha, just you wait, I'll play with you slowly."
After glancing at the panel, Taiyi was quite satisfied with his current attributes.
"Huh? Wait a minute?" When Tai looked at his own constitution attribute, he was shocked to find that his constitution, which was originally 21 points, was still 21 points.
"Didn't we already add a little?" This shock almost made Taiyi fall off the tree. After all, the control panel was his cheat code, and any problems with it would have a huge impact on his future development.
Regaining his composure, Taiyi continued running forward. Regardless, the attribute points that boosted his physique and restored his strength remained; the rest would have to wait until after this crisis was over.
A Jonin truly lives up to his name. Even though most Jonin among the bounty hunters are considered weak, he's still not someone an ordinary ninja can easily handle. Sure enough, before he'd run far, Taiichi heard the green-haired ninja's hateful shouts coming from behind.
"You brat, you can't escape now. Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will cut you into a thousand pieces to avenge my brother."
Taiichi glanced back and thankfully, only the green-haired Jonin had caught up so far. Everyone had been running at full speed, and the two of them were clearly faster than the two Chunin, causing them to fall behind.
"Sorry, old man in the green hat, who is your brother? I've killed too many nameless nobodys, I don't know him!" Taiichi's provocative words made Takagi, who had caught up, bulge with anger.
"Damn brat—"
Before the green-haired ninja could finish speaking, Taiichi suddenly turned around, and "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet" transformed into a roaring fire dragon that charged straight at the pursuing green-haired ninja.
Unexpectedly, Taiichi would counterattack under these circumstances. Takagi was noticeably a beat slower. By the time he reacted, it was too late to form hand seals, and he could only try his best to dodge to the side.
However, Taiyi's Fire Dragon Flame Bullet lasted for an exceptionally long time. As Taiyi turned his head and swept it horizontally, the fire dragon chased after the green-haired ninja's figure and bit him.
Watching the green-haired ninja charge left and right, narrowly dodging the flames each time, Taiyi stopped persisting. He seized the best opportunity, decisively ended the spell, and charged forward with his sword.
The same move, "Splitting Mount Hua," is clearly on two different levels when used by the main body and the shadow clone.
Having just dodged the ninjutsu, Takagi hadn't even had time to recover before being hit by this heavy blow. In his haste, he could only barely raise his kunai to block.
With a "whoosh," Taiichi's short sword, propelled by the momentum, slashed fiercely at the kunai. The powerful force pressed the kunai against the green-haired man's shoulder before finally stopping.
Taiichi swung his sword horizontally, aiming for the green-haired ninja's neck.
This green-haired Takagi was no ordinary fighter either. He raised his kunai with one hand and used the force of Taiichi's horizontal slash to retreat, intending to regroup.
