Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 176 Ambush Ambush

Chapter 178 Ambush Ambush

Early morning of August 24th —

Orochimaru, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes. Jiraiya, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes as well. Seeing Orochimaru nod to him, Jiraiya woke up Akaishi and the others who were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, adjusting their state.

"Hanzo has already made his move; thousands of samurai are trapped in the poisonous fog," Orochimaru said.

At the same time, the Rain Ninja in the valley could be seen leaving the valley and moving towards the battlefield fifty miles away.

Clearly, they also had means of communication, and thus knew the approximate location of their comrade's battle!

Orochimaru's team didn't attack immediately, but waited by the valley entrance until—

Swish swish—

When about half of the Rain Ninja had passed through the valley entrance—

"Akaashi." Orochimaru called Akaashi.

Akaishi immediately nodded slightly, and at the same time—

Boom boom boom—

Suddenly, a series of booming sounds came from the mouth of the valley!

That's right, it's Akaishi's "Air Explosion Technique" —

During the rest of the night, Akaishi used the property that his main body's chakra could be restored after creating the "Mirror Clone" to continuously create and restore his own chakra, creating six and a half blue "Mirror Clones"!

In terms of recovery speed, if Akaishi were to operate at full capacity, it could actually recover even more.

However, in practice, because the "Mirror Clones" cannot regenerate chakra on their own, Akaishi actually has to maintain the chakra consumption caused by their "existence". Therefore, six "Mirror Clones in their best condition" is about Akaishi's current limit.

Unless Akaishi keeps the "three-piece set" active, the consumption of the six clones has already made up for Akaishi's normal chakra recovery efficiency.

Previously, there were always three "Mirror Clones" working in shifts, with three "Mirror Clones" always present at Akaishi, absorbing chakra from him. The other three used "Earth Reflection Fish" to lurk outside the "Sealing Technique" set up at the valley entrance by Amegakure.

If the sealing ninjas of Rain Village were stronger, they might have been able to discover Akaishi's clone, but alas—there are no ifs.

Just then, Akaishi's three "Mirror Clone" clones, which were lurking at the valley entrance, burst out and unleashed a series of "Air Explosion Techniques"!

The current Mirror Clone, representing Akaishi's optimal state, can split three times, meaning one "Mirror Clone" can theoretically stack fifteen "Air Explosion Techniques" in place.

Unfortunately, it doesn't actually achieve the theory—once there are too many clones, it's difficult to achieve "simultaneity." After all, the subsequent chain explosions are a foolproof operation, just "instinctive" hand seals.

If they don't do it at the same time, there will be an awkward situation where "the mirror clone that hasn't finished forming the hand seals is killed by the mirror clone next to it", and on average it will only stack seven or eight times.

Even so, it is enough to expand the effective damage range of low pressure to a diameter of a dry rice grain!

Orochimaru had already noticed this weakness during Akaishi's training and had specifically instructed Akaishi to spread out the "Mirror Clone" clones he had planted.

In this way, the three points of explosion along the valley entrance would be linked together. If they were at the same point, although theoretically the power would be astonishing, in reality—the "Mirror Clone" would basically be blown to pieces by its own explosion, and it wouldn't have time to use ninjutsu.

Ten meters in diameter, it's not that big.

In a one-on-one situation, if the opponent chooses to dodge, they can generally avoid it, since it's a ten-meter radius centered on the player, and there's also a "chain reaction" process.

But the situation is different now!

This was as the rain ninjas kept rushing out of the valley, directly carving out a super low-pressure zone ten meters wide and over thirty meters long at the valley entrance.

This passage is only about ten meters wide!

Of the more than 300 Rain Ninja, almost 10% were within this area. Adding those who couldn't stop and continued to rush in, about 50 Rain Ninja were stunned on the spot.

Immediately————

bang bang

Amidst the light and smoke created by spatial friction, the enormous Manda and Gamabunta appeared simultaneously, one after the other, at the entrance of the valley!

Gamabunta gave these "dumb" Rain Ninja no chance at all, directly drawing his five- or six-meter-long "short sword" and sweeping it across the ground in front of him.

That's right, a short sword.

It is enormous for humans, but for Gamabunta, it is indeed a short sword.

Manda also opened its mouth and enjoyed a "buffet" meal.

"W-What happened?"

"Oh no! Enemy attack!"

"Wow, so big—"

"Quick! Summon a giant salamander, Jonin!"

Amidst the chaos, the Rain Ninja quickly reacted, launching attacks from behind on Manda and Gamabunta.

After clearing the narrow valley passage and the stunned Rain Ninja who had been blown away earlier, the two enormous ninja beasts turned around—

At the exit, Manda faced the more than one hundred Rain Ninja who were trying to turn back from outside the valley. At the entrance to the valley passage, Gamabunta also turned around and faced the more than one hundred Rain Ninja who were about to rush out.

As for the four members of the Red Stone Clan, they rushed into the area of ​​the valley entrance passage!

Although most of the people inside were stunned and instantly killed by the explosion, there were still twenty or thirty survivors—their original positions were in corners where the air pressure wasn't so low.

Approximately fifty Rain Ninja were instantly killed and rendered unconscious by the blast. Akaishi's sneak attack was undeniably successful.

However, among the remaining twenty or thirty Rain Ninja, there were a total of two Jonin!

Suddenly, within the spatial mist created by the "Spirit Spell," two enormous salamanders appeared in the valley.

Although they were behind Manda and Gamabunta, seemingly giving them a chance to ambush or attack from both sides, the four members of Akaishi, along with the three "Mirror Clones," had already rushed in!

-

"Be careful, quickly use the power of the poisonous fog."

"Danger at the valley entrance, everyone be careful—"

"The people ahead are back, hang in there!"

The people of the Land of Rain were still encouraging themselves, while Manda and Gamabunta each used their bodies to block the valley entrance, making it difficult for those outside to get in and those inside to get out.

As for the few who slipped through the net at the valley entrance, the four members of the Red Stone Gang were more than enough to suppress them.

"Ah, it's a Konoha ninja? Our plan has been discovered!"

"Don't be afraid, break through the valley as quickly as possible and rejoin your comrades behind you."

"What kind of clone is this? Everyone be careful!"

"This...this looks like a mirror clone of Uchiha Kagami—"

The salamanders from the Rain Village appeared one after another. Seeing this, Lanwu came to Jiraiya's side to help Bunta resist the "poisonous fog" here.

"Cough cough cough—No, no—Jiraiya, stop causing me trouble!"

-

"The humid air is so refreshing, little girl, well done. I'll take care of you from now on—"

Bunta, who was initially struggling with the poisonous fog and rudely scolding Jiraiya, began to express his gratitude to Ranma for helping to reduce the fog after feeling its effects.

In contrast, Orochimaru's side doesn't need any help yet.

The venomous snakes inhaled the poisonous mist in large quantities without showing any abnormalities.

"You stinky toad, are you too weak? If you keep babbling, I'll swallow you whole!" Wan She said arrogantly.

Although it is about the same strength as Bunta, its physiological structure determines that toads are very sensitive to the toxins of salamanders, while snakes are almost immune.

At this moment, Manda was eyeing the several large salamanders outside. If Orochimaru hadn't been constantly reminding it and guarding the valley entrance, it would have already rushed out to have a meal!

at the same time----

Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!

Kusanagi Sword: Sky Blade!

The two large ninja beasts were mainly responsible for "blocking" the way, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya were not idle either, and they rushed out to cause widespread damage to the Rain Ninja.

Jiraiya was using his signature Fire Release technique, with Gamabunta adding fuel to the fire, while Orochimaru was already using the newly acquired "Heavenly Cloud Sword".

Sure enough, Orochimaru had his eye on this grass sword for some reason.

Having only had it for a few days, he was already very skilled at using it. In Orochimaru's hands, the sword could be extended and shortened at will, and he could control the sword in mid-air. It seemed to be a melee weapon, but in reality, it could cause a lot of damage. Obviously, he had already studied the functions of this "Heavenly Cloud Sword".

At this point, Bunta couldn't care less about arguing with Manda, and persisted for a while longer—

"Jiraiya, change the person!" Bunta reminded him impatiently, leaning on his sword.

"Alright!" Jiraiya readily agreed.

Even with Lanwu's help to delay them, Gamabunta's side couldn't hold out for long. After fighting for a while, he kept saying he wanted to go back to rest.

After greeting Jiraiya, Bunta disappeared after forming hand seals, and Jiraiya summoned Gamaken.

When Gamaken, wielding an iron fork and a pot lid shield, appeared, although he was slightly smaller than Gamabunta, he was enough to take Gamabunta's place.

"Ken, how long can you last?" Jiraiya asked.

Gamaken was always humble and reliable, but precisely because of this, Jiraiya was afraid that he would overdo it.

"This concentration of poison gas—it should be fine for half an hour," Hama Ken judged.

Jiraiya: ————

"That Bunta guy is slacking off again!" Jiraiya muttered.

Clearly, Bunta shouldn't have only lasted fifteen minutes.

It wasn't mainly because he was lazy, but because Bunta didn't want to hear Manda's taunts.

"Hehehe, another toad? It feels like they're serving up a dish."

"They couldn't hold on that quickly?"

"Mount Myoboku is full of toads!"

Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi-dō were old rivals, and Manda showed no mercy in his mockery.

In a different situation, Orochimaru might have taken the opportunity to mock Jiraiya, but right now Orochimaru feels a bit uncomfortable.

Why can Jiraiya summon different toads in rotation, while he can only summon Manda?

It's all because I didn't sign a contract directly with Ryuji-dong!

At the same time, Akaishi, Minato, and Yakushi Nono also came to the two sides to help guard the valley entrance, so that no ninja beasts could escape because they were too big. As for the remaining enemies in the valley passage, they had already been dealt with.

Minato went to Jiraiya's side, while Akaishi and Yakushi Nono were with Captain Orochimaru.

The main reason is that Minato's fighting style occasionally summons the limbs of the toads of Mount Myōboku, which Manda dislikes.

As the Rain Ninja were being continuously killed and wounded—

"Cough cough cough—Orochimaru! What's going on?" Manda suddenly shouted.

Orochimaru's expression hardened as he exclaimed, "It's the Great Salamander King—Jiraiya! Retreat!"
