Chapter 17: It’s always good to be less in the limelight!
Ding dong!
Sparks generated by the exchange of sharp metal tools flashed between the two men, one large and one small.
Liuyu hurriedly caught the short blade that suddenly appeared in front of him, and then stepped back.
"so close!"
Liu Yu thought to himself.
The Kirigakure ninja in front of him suddenly appeared, appearing in front of him without any precautions, waving the short blade that shone with cold light.
"Thankfully I blocked it!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to jump back, Liu Yu carefully looked at the Kirigakure ninja who suddenly appeared in front of him.
I saw the Kirigakure ninja with a sinister look on his face, staring at him with unkind eyes. There is a long and deep scar on the left side of his face from above the orbit of his left eye to the left side of his neck, adding a third degree of ferocity to his already vicious face. He was wearing a standard Kirigakure uniform, and looked slightly different from the others around him.
"It's the Jonin of Kirigakure Village!"
Liu Yu confirmed this guess in his mind. After coming to the front line of Yuno Country for so long, he also had some simple understanding of the Kirigakure vest uniform on the opposite side. The scarred Kirigakure ninja opposite was definitely a jounin.
It seemed that his cooperation with Asuma had killed so many mist ninjas, which attracted his attention. Sure enough, if you don't have much strength on the battlefield, it's better not to attract the limelight.
In the war of ninjas, jounin is the absolute main force. Under normal circumstances, one's own jounin is responsible for holding back the enemy jonin to prevent the enemy jounin from entering the group of chuunin and genin to break the balance. However, Kirigakure now has an absolute advantage in combat power and numbers. Naturally, he can use a considerable number of jounin to kill the enemy's middle and genin to break the situation.
In the war of ninjas, nothing is impossible. Even a jounin may be killed by an enemy genin due to negligence. After all, in the world of ninjas, most people's bodies can be pierced by kunai. There is no low-level person who cannot break through high-level defenses.
But jounin is jounin, and their combat experience and emergency response are not comparable to ordinary chuunin. This point, through these days of fighting, Liu Yu has clearly realized.
"Hmph!" The scar-faced Kirigakure master snorted coldly, and then attacked again. The short blade in his right hand shone with a cold light, and people's faces could be seen occasionally flashing across the shining blade.
"So fast!" Looking at the Kirigakure Jōnin who kept approaching him, this was the only thought in Liuyu's mind at this moment.
"But can you get close to me?"
"Huh?" The scarred Kirigakure jounin who was running towards Ryukyu at full speed suddenly stopped, as if his feet were entangled with something. Running at full speed, the scarred Kirigakure jounin could not control his body and fell forward.
When he fell, the scar-faced Kirigakure jounin saw that his left foot had been entangled in several leaves of golden grass at some point. It was also because of these strong leaves that he fell.
"What the hell is this?" Scarface wondered in his heart.
"Good opportunity" Seeing the scar-faced Kirigakure Jonin falling forward due to the blade of grass summoned by Ryūyu while running, Asuma and Ryūyu saw the opportunity and attacked from left to right.
"Hmph!" Looking at the two men who took the opportunity to attack, the scar-faced Kirigakure jounin did not panic. Instead, he opened his mouth and smiled contemptuously, with a hint of coldness floating on the corner of his mouth.
Whoosh whoosh!
However, several rays of silver light flew out of the mouth of the Kirigakure jounin who was about to fall, and shot straight towards Asuma on the right.
This guy actually hid a hidden weapon in his mouth!
The scar-faced Kirigakure jounin, who was about to fall, took advantage of the situation to support his body with his left hand, forming a recumbent position. However, his right hand was thrown forward, and the short blade in his hand struck Liu Yu who was attacking from the left.
When Asuma saw the silver needle coming, he quickly stopped his running body and turned over to retreat.
Tsk! But it was the sound of a silver needle entering the body.
Asuma was unable to dodge and was stabbed by two of the silver needles.
Ding dong! Ryūha used a kunai to catch the short blade thrown by Scarface, and retreated to Asuma's side. However, the broken blade she had deflected just now turned around and flew towards her again. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's right arm received a slight cut, but fortunately it was not serious.
Flashing to Asuma's side, Liuyu looked at the short blade that had just attacked him, and saw that the handle of the short blade was actually shining with a faint silver light. Liu Yu was familiar with this, it was a thin steel wire.
faint! Why do so many people like to tie thin steel wires to their weapons? This is the second time I have suffered such a loss.
"Asma, are you okay?" At this time, Liu Yu noticed Asma's slightly painful expression.
"This thing seems to be poisonous?" Asma pulled out the two silver needles that had been inserted into her body and said with a bad look. Hearing this, Liu Yu immediately looked at his right arm that had just been scratched, worried that he was also poisoned.
As expected of a jounin, such combat experience and emergency response are not something ordinary chunin can possess. To be able to repel the joint attack of himself and Asuma so easily, and even injuring both of them, is really incredible. A tough opponent.
Liu Yu suddenly felt troubled.
On the other side, the scar-faced Kirigakure Jonin who fell to the ground took out another broken blade from his waist that was exactly the same as before. Immediately afterwards, Ryūyu and the others saw that the short blade held by the scar-faced Kirigakure jounin was actually shining with a faint light of chakra, and they easily cut off the several leaves of powerful grass that Ryūyu had wrapped around his left leg. .
"This?" Liu Yu was a little shocked. He could cut off the restrained blades of grass that he had maintained with chakra so easily. This had never happened before.
Looking at the short blade shining with a faint chakra light, Liu Yu was thoughtful. Is it a weapon made of special metal that can flow chakra? If it is this kind of thing, it is true that ordinary binding of grass leaves will not work.
Having been in this world for so long, Liu Yu also knows that this kind of metal that can flow chakra is extremely rare. Even Asuma, who later became the "Twelve Guardian Ninja" of the Daimyo Guards, only had two shorter chakra swords made of this metal.
"Hmph!" Seeing that the two Konoha brats were forced back by him, the scar-faced Kirigakure ninja stood up and snorted coldly. Then he retracted his right hand, and with the operation of the thin thread, the short chakra blade he just took was in his hand again. Holding a short blade in each hand, he looked at the three of them with amusement.
I didn’t expect this guy to be a dual-swordsman!
Liuyu looked at the wound on his right arm which had not changed much, and then looked at Asuma who looked slightly ferocious. Liuyu finally confirmed that he was not poisoned like Asma. But now is not the time to rejoice that he is not poisoned. His teammates are poisoned, and he is embarrassed to rejoice on the sidelines.
Those silver needles just spit out from the mouth of the scar-faced Kirigakure Jōnin, which means that guy must have the antidote on his body. It seems that this Scarface must be killed!
But depending on the situation, this matter is not simple.
"Trouble!"
Liu Yu subconsciously muttered something again. Maybe Liu Yu didn't pay attention. This sentence "Trouble!" has almost become his mantra.
