Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 276

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting in the arena and even on the river, Idaten Kyūsuke remained unharmed.

But Yu Ling seemed to have seized an opportunity. She sheathed her ninja sword, stomped her foot hard on the water, and the surrounding water droplets began to freeze in mid-air.

"go to hell!"

This is the first thing Yu Ling has said since joining the battle.

"Ninja Art: Rain Manipulation Technique!!"

"It's actually Senior Qingyu's rain manipulation technique?!" Yulong was slightly startled and quickly shouted, "Watch out behind you!"

At this moment, Idaten Kyusuke had already set up an Earth Release defense in the land environment of the arena: "Earth Release: Barrier Technique!"

Large droplets of water that floated up struck Idaten Kyūsuke's earth-escape defense, making a series of loud thuds.

However, after hearing Yu Ling's words, Idaten Kyūsuke seemed to suddenly realize something.

When he turned his head, he saw that Yu Long had prepared chakra in advance behind him, which was activated at the same time as the water jutsu.

"Die!"

puff! puff! puff! puff! puff!

Water droplets flew over, and Idaten Kyūsuke's back was instantly blocked by a large number of water droplets.

Yu Ling stood on the gentle riverbed, one hand on her hip, and said, "This is what happens when you underestimate the Rain Ninja."

Shirahoshi, having watched the entire match, saw through everything.

"First, during battles, we would use the surrounding waterways to lure the enemy over to engage in combat."

"Then he used the chakra in his feet to stop on the riverbed, forcing the opponent to come ashore as quickly as possible, while he himself remained standing on the water, circling around and continuously attacking with hidden weapons... Finally, he stood in front of the opponent and deliberately displayed water release, but in reality, he used the water release chakra he had stored up before to launch an attack at the same time."

"Interesting. This kind of technically sophisticated fighting is much more interesting."

"But ultimately, it was due to insufficient intelligence. After fighting for so long, we couldn't even use the 'cheat code' I gave him beforehand..."

......

"It's time to announce the results!" Yu Ling shouted, celebrating her victory. The young woman was completely blinded by the triumph before her.

Looking up, I was suddenly struck by the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces.

"It's time to end!"

"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!"

"Nani—" A stream of water suddenly burst forth from Yu Ling's feet, filling a circular water prison. Wei Tuo Tian Jiu Zhu emerged from the water.

Just now, in everyone's sight, we could see that Idaten Kyusuke, who had been shaped like a plug by water droplets, had transformed into a water clone.

"This is the end."

"Turn to stone and die!" Another water clone that Idoten Kyusuke had prepared beforehand appeared in the water prison, spitting out a large amount of cement. Yu Ling tried to break free, but could not stop her body from turning into cement.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!!"

Standing outside controlling the water prison, Idaten Kyusuke stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the prison, panting as he said, "Don't underestimate me, a former Amegakure genin."

"You think your scheme is very clever."

"In reality, I never used your plan to scheme against you."

"Goodbye."

The cementation completely turned the entire water prison into stone, and Idaten Kyūsuke delivered a punch enhanced with chakra.

boom!

Yu Ling was defeated.

"What a ruthless brat. I only regret that I should have found you first and killed you then." Having lost his loyal subordinate, Hanzo wished he could tear Idaten Kyusuke apart alive.

Standing on the water's surface, Idaten Kyūsuke looked up and said, "She wants to kill me, so why should I show mercy?! Stop pretending! Hanzō!!"

Hanzo narrowed his eyes: "Good lad. Once I take over your ninja team, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

At this moment, a member of the Amegakure ANBU tried to rush out, but was stopped by Hanzo, and then held down by a number of Amegakure ninja.

"spirit!!"

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

"Star, don't worry, you'll be on stage soon," Hanzo said to Gen Hoshino.

"Moreover, we, the Amegakure side, will win this duel."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xingyu could only lower her head and say, "I understand."

After hearing this, everyone released the other person.

"Cough cough."

"Let me clean up the battlefield."

Shirahoshi waved her hand again, and two clumps of slime energy fell, transforming into the shape of a surgeon:

"Clean it up."

"Yes!" x2

Everyone was shocked by this scene, wondering what kind of clone ability this was! They began to whisper among themselves.

......

soon.

The arena has been cleaned.

Shirahoshi also announced the third match.

【Takumi vs. Okada Homura】

This time, instead of engaging in direct combat as in the previous two instances, the two sides stood on opposite sides of the arena, observing each other.

"Long time no see, Tuofeng brother."

"It has indeed been a long time, Brother Yan."

Upon hearing this, both Yahiko and Hanzo assumed that this was a spy sent by the other side!

Yahiko: No wonder a rare Jonin like Takumi was willing to join this war.

Hanzo: No wonder Okada Yuunaga betrayed me.

The two: Oh, I see!

Tuofeng said, "Today, we will decide not only who wins and who loses, but also who lives and dies. It all depends on whose methods are more lethal."

Okada En nodded: "We became friends after our fight. I trained hard after that battle. I just never expected that our battle would become the battle that determines the fate of the Land of Rain."

The two recalled that back then, Tuofeng was not yet the personal bodyguard of the Lord of Fengyu City, but a wandering ninja, a wandering ninja who specialized in killing bounty hunters, and occasionally used the bodies of valuable bounty hunters to exchange for money.

As for why only bounty hunters were killed, there are many stories of grudges and affections involved.

Two years ago, Okada Homura, as a Chunin of Amegakure, was on a Jonin promotion mission, which involved assassinating a nobleman.

Assassination missions naturally don't involve headbands, and to further conceal one's identity, one must wear clothing that obscures their figure and face...

Takumi mistakenly believes that Okada Homura is a bounty hunter...

“Back then, I lost to you by a hair’s breadth. But now, two years later, things have changed for us.” Okada En said, “In these two years, I have become much stronger and learned more new techniques and combat skills, while Takuya-ge... you have always been just a wandering ninja who is not in the ninja village.”

Even if you end up with that guy Feng Hua.

“Lord Fenghua has treated me well. That’s why I’m willing to protect him.” Tuofeng raised the mechanical fan in his hand and closed it slightly: “Fenghua taught me that blind killing will only make one a vile killer in the end.”

In this way, I am no different from those bounty hunters who destroyed my village and killed my family.

Bounty hunters, even if there are villains, are numerous.

But there will also be good people and people who suffer.

So I stopped. I chose atonement, at least to lessen the burden of my sins, so that I could face my family in the afterlife with a clear conscience.

At this point, Tuofeng took out another mechanical iron fan from his pocket:

"so."

"I will not lose to you, and I cannot lose to you!"

“Me too.” Okada En gripped a kunai in his right hand, his face resolute: “To live up to Lord Hanzo’s expectations, I will never admit defeat!”

Tuofeng: "Then let's fight!!"

Okada Yan: "Come on!"

Tuofeng gripped the mechanical iron fan with both hands, simultaneously channeling chakra and beginning to wield the iron umbrella: "Wind Release: Wind Scythe!"

Countless wind blades, transformed into scythes, flew in.

The wind tore the ground of the arena apart as it passed by, leaving cracks in its surface!

Its range is so vast that it already possesses the power of an A-rank ninjutsu!

Fire Release: Great Flame!

Okada En formed hand seals and spat out three large fireballs, which collided instantly with the wind scythe.

boom! boom! boom!

Okada En observed that the wind scythe attack was still ongoing, so he quickly retreated and jumped into the river, thus avoiding the A-rank power of the wind scythe technique.

Takuya, standing on the arena floor, stopped his Wind Release and began to observe his surroundings.

He wasn't good at Water Release, and coincidentally, Okada Homura wasn't very good at Water Release either, but was good at Fire Release and Earth Release.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about the opponent using water-style sneak attacks.

Click!

boom--

The moment Takumi heard the soft sound, he decisively jumped up and looked down at Okada En.

"Ninja Art: Flame Burst Needle!"
