Chapter 32: Incorrect Intelligence, Total Annihilation
Chapter 32: Incorrect Intelligence, Total Annihilation
He didn't even know Jiraiya had been there, and he didn't care at all. Who would care what the name of the piece of bread they ate was?
Does being the "King of Bread" mean a piece of bread can't be eaten? Who cares what a piece of bread's name or status is?
And so, the fact that Jiraiya almost lost his life without even seeing Uchiha Tsuki was covered up, and yet no one could find fault with it. After all, human imagination has its limits. Although they knew Uchiha Tsuki was strong, Jiraiya, as one of the top ninjas in the ninja world, was not weak either.
Knowing some things beforehand and being prepared, it's quite reasonable that he fought Uchiha Tsuki for three hundred rounds, only to be defeated by one move and crippled.
Within the realm of deathly silence.
The Sand Village Jonin kept refining his chakra as he ran quickly. He felt his chakra dissipating and calculated it. He thought it wasn't a big problem and didn't notice that his face was getting paler and his speed was decreasing.
In his mind, if he couldn't find Uchiha Tsukuyomi, as long as he escaped before his chakra ran out, it wouldn't be a big problem. He didn't notice at all that, apart from his chakra constantly draining away, the heat, bioelectricity, and chemical energy in his body were also constantly decreasing.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Under normal circumstances, these physical changes, such as weakness, sluggish thinking, and slowness, are easy to notice. But things are different now.
His intelligence has been drained. In essence, humanity is nothing more than a special machine made of flesh and blood. The most important core of it is the brain. All his intelligence and all his thoughts originate from that brain.
Now that the brain has lost enough energy to support it, it is already difficult to maintain the operation of thought. How can it be as easy as usual to notice the changes in the body?
At this moment, the person was as if he had been given anesthesia; even though his hand had been cut off, he still thought it was still there!
"Ugh! No...no, that's not right? My body, my speed, my power...how...how could this be? I still have chakra! My chakra isn't depleted yet! How could this happen?"
The Sand Village Jonin finally realized something was wrong. He slowly stopped his movements, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. He raised his hand with a puzzled expression, about to clench his fist. What was just a simple action now became like a rusty machine, clenching his fist again and again.
"No... wait, this place doesn't just absorb chakra, it absorbs other energies from the body too? Cold, so cold, so frigid, so weak... No! I can't stay here any longer! I have to leave!"
He looked up and found himself surrounded by darkness, but he still managed to calculate the distance to the exit. It was completely different from what he had imagined. According to his calculations, he had enough chakra to run to the entrance of Konoha and back, but now he had only run less than a tenth of the distance.
However, although humans are likened to flesh and blood machines, they are ultimately not real machines. Even real machines will have reduced efficiency when there is insufficient energy, let alone humans.
Soon, after running along the same route for a while, his knees buckled and he collapsed.
"Damn it, body, get moving! Quack!!! I command you to move!!!"
He lay on the ground, frantically maneuvering his body, which had run out of energy. However, how could his limbs, which had no energy support, receive commands from his brain? How could they perceive his thoughts?
Even with boundless ambition, he could only bow his head in the face of such reality.
"Captain! Oh no! The captain's chakra is exhausted!"
At the edge of the desolate area, the Sunagakure ninjas became anxious upon seeing this scene. After a moment of thought, the Chunin barely calculated and concluded that the captain was not far from them. If he went in, he could rescue the captain.
With that thought in mind, he rushed in as well.
"No, don't come in, don't come in! This is... hell! Croak! Don't come to save me, get out of here!"
The Jonin looked at his teammate running in, raised his head, mustered his last strength, and shouted wildly. After that shout, he lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground. If he couldn't be taken out in time, he would soon die here like the flowers and grass around him, becoming an eternal human specimen.
However, what he didn't know was that his voice never reached his companions' ears; it simply dissipated as soon as it was uttered.
Sound, or sound waves, is also a form of energy.
"Captain, I'm here to save you!"
His companions ran over, just like the Konoha ninjas had done to save Jiraiya, and tried to drag him away. After dragging him a few steps, it seemed that they could run away in a little while.
"Captain, I'm sorry! I have no strength left."
bump!
The two bodies fell to the ground.
Outside, seeing this scene, the genin looked at each other, staring at the last bit of distance. It was just a little bit more, only a little bit left!
We will definitely be able to rescue the captain and the others! We must rescue the captain and the others.
Thinking this, they began to use ninjutsu. However, as soon as their ninjutsu was released and appeared in the dead silence domain, it immediately dissipated. Seeing that the captain and the others' faces were getting worse and worse, in desperation, someone rushed in directly.
"Just a little bit... just a little bit left... Hehe, I must... lead everyone... to survive!!! Ah!!!"
A hand slowly emerged from the edge of the deathly silence and then landed heavily on the ground.
All the Sand Village ninjas who came to complete this mission fell in the silent domain. The last genin tightly bound his comrades together with his clothes. They were just one step away from bringing everyone out of this hell, but that one step was like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross no matter what they did.
Call ~
A snowflake fell from the sky and landed on the head of this genin.
"No...no...power, come out, come out! How could we die so pathetically! I must...I must..."
The intelligence was wrong!
It was only mentioned that this domain has the terrifying ability to absorb chakra, but it wasn't mentioned that it can also absorb other energies!
