Chapter 59 Trap
A tremendous roar resounded in our ears.
The rumbling tremors made it almost impossible for Sarutobi Asuma and the others to maintain their footing.
To the astonishment of the group, the surrounding earth, rocks, and trees rose rapidly, instantly towering high and blocking out the sunlight.
"No, the ground is sinking!" Kurenai Yuhi sensed the situation and alerted him in a panic.
But it was too late.
The ground within a radius of tens of meters has sunk underground, surrounded by high, raised rock walls.
At a glance, it appears to be at least fifty meters deep.
Such a powerful ninjutsu is definitely not something that ordinary genin or even chunin can perform.
The lowest rank is Jonin.
"Hahaha~" The arrogant and triumphant laughter echoed in the empty, large rock pit.
"Those guys from Konoha, they really made me wait a whole day for nothing."
High up, a section of the rock face juts out gently.
A fat ninja in red, weighing at least 300 pounds, looked down at the group.
Then, two more tall and thin figures emerged from behind.
Sarutobi Asuma and the other man's pupils trembled, and Uchiha Mikoto's expression also darkened. Sensing the chakra fluctuations of the others, she said in a deep voice.
"One Jonin, and two Chunin, the lowest rank."
"Take care of yourselves in a bit; I might not be able to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai felt a pang of anxiety.
Sarutobi Asuma, in particular, had not yet recovered from his previous defeats when he encountered such an enemy.
After taking a few deep breaths, he turned around and looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who was equally at a loss.
"Red, let's do our best, don't be afraid."
"If dying together with you isn't so bad." Thinking this, he turned his head, his eyes gradually hardening, only his hands still trembling slightly.
"Hahaha..." A tall, thin ninja laughed loudly.
"You lot, don't bother struggling."
"Hand over the intelligence you possess, and I'll ensure you leave with a complete corpse when you're buried with my men."
No one answered.
Mikoto Uchiha turned around and glanced back.
Asuma, with a solemn expression as if he were going to his death, Kurenai, who was somewhat afraid but gripped her ninja tools tightly, and... Shingetsu Seiun, who quickly surveyed her surroundings.
Mikoto Uchiha frowned slightly.
She still doesn't know why a high-level Jonin squad would appear in the Land of Fire, but even she isn't confident of defeating a Jonin and two Chunin, not to mention the few burdens they have.
She had thought that Shenyue Xingyun, whose strength was far superior, could at least look after the remaining two, but now Shenyue Xingyun's expression made her very worried.
In a situation like this, would the other party still be reliable?
She didn't know. But she did know that the terrain was unfavorable, and waiting would only make things worse!
Without any warning.
Mikoto Uchiha formed hand seals, her slender fingers flashing out afterimages.
"Protect yourself!" she said, her hands forming a seal in front of her: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A raging fire suddenly erupted!
As flames shot out, Uchiha Mikoto's figure suddenly shot towards the enemy Jonin!
The battle began in an instant.
Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were still somewhat bewildered. As they watched Uchiha Mikoto shoot towards the enemy like an arrow, they were frantically trying to figure out how to deal with her when suddenly everything went blurry.
However, Shen Yue Xingyun suddenly created a clone, and then the two figures rushed forward together, following in Uchiha Mikoto's footsteps!
"Are you out of your mind?!"
With this thought in mind, the two exchanged a glance, then gathered chakra in their feet and began to rush forward rapidly.
Being at the lowest point is too disadvantageous, making it difficult to fight or escape; only by running to higher ground can one gain advantageous terrain.
"Boom!~"
Flames crashed against the rock face, scattering fire and smoke everywhere.
The small sky was filled with firelight.
This is a ninjutsu used by a Jonin at full power; its power is incomparable to that of a Genin.
Ignoring their surprise, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai quickly ascended the rock face.
……
As the flames subsided, a cracked, scorched earthen wall slowly crumbled, revealing three unharmed Iwagakure ninja.
"Heh, the Uchiha's Fire Release is indeed incredibly powerful." The fat ninja in the lead sneered, then gave orders to the two behind him.
"Hawk, go deal with those two brats. White Demon, stay here and help me take care of this Uchiha first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the slender eagle immediately set off, dragging its long sword as it ran towards Sarutobi Asuma and the other two.
The fat ninja watched as the Uchiha woman and the brat drew closer, and quickly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release·Rock Thorn!"
Spikes burst through the stone wall and quickly spread to Uchiha Mikoto's feet.
Mikoto Uchiha remained calm.
Three tomoe flashed rapidly in his eyes, his body moved like a butterfly, and his toes used the gaps between the spikes and the stone wall to gain momentum, quickly rising and getting closer.
Her Sharingan, operating at its maximum potential, grants her dynamic vision at a level unimaginable to ordinary ninjas, rendering her immune to any threat from the opponent's ninjutsu.
However, things weren't so easy for Shingetsu Nebula behind her. In terms of both eyesight and agility, he was far inferior to Uchiha Mikoto, and as the spikes continued to rise, his speed inevitably slowed down.
The Jonin from Iwagakure chuckled lightly, changing his hand seals once more!
"Earth Release: Heavenly River!"
"Boom!" The sunlight overhead was blocked.
A thunderous roar echoed as a river of mud suddenly poured down, rushing headlong into the water.
The illusory clone of Shenyue Nebula was struck head-on, and the non-physical clone shattered instantly.
"Go help Asuma!" Uchiha Mikoto shouted.
"Alright!" The main body of the Divine Moon Nebula quickly turned around and headed towards Sarutobi Asuma.
As she faced the oncoming river of mud, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes gleamed.
The next moment, several kunai shot out and "thud thud thud" deeply embedded themselves in the rock wall.
Clench your hands! Strands of nearly transparent silk suddenly tightened, making a clanging sound.
Uchiha Ninja Tool Manipulation Technique!
With a burst of strength in her hands, her body began to leap erratically in mid-air, and the gushing muddy river could not stop her from getting closer.
When the enemy is right in front of you.
Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan glowed brightly red.
"Heh heh, an illusion? That won't work on me."
The Iwagakure Jonin gave a cold smile.
The changing rock strata covered his body like a thick suit of armor, including his face, making his already large body even larger.
Her entire body was over two meters tall, like a rock giant, making the tall Uchiha Mikoto appear petite in comparison.
The two figures collided with a loud crash.
"Bang!!"
……
On the other side.
Asuma Sarutobi, wielding twin blades, grappled with his enemy, sparks flying as the blades clashed.
His face was pale, and he kept retreating, clearly at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation.
Even so, she gritted her teeth and desperately resisted the opponent's attacks.
No refunds!
Behind me is the crimson glow of the setting sun.
Even if he dies, he will die before her!
"Hehe, your reaction speed is pretty good."
"He's probably not an ordinary genin."
"It doesn't matter, the result is the same anyway. It's more fun to see a promising young ninja like you go on a killing spree."
The tall, slender eagle still had the energy to provoke its opponent.
"Damn it!"
"Don't underestimate the ninjas of Konoha!" Sarutobi Asuma roared.
His jaw clenched, and trickles of blood seeped from the corners of his mouth as he desperately channeled his chakra into the twin blades in his hands.
