NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63: Microbugs' Weakness
While his clones fought effectively just like him, the golems were getting destroyed while they also dealt quite a lot of damage to the camp. Dealing with mindless golems was extremely easy compared to a super fast mysterious armoured guy wreaking havoc in the camp.
Unfortunately for them, the golems weren't alive and Kira casually re summoned them whenever their numbers dwindled.
Minutes quickly passed and in just ten minutes, he had caused more than enough chaos. Almost ten thousand puppets had been broken with their parts lying on the ground, unmoving. As for the actual shinobi, Kira did his best not to hurt them, but if they voluntarily rushed towards him, then he didn't hold back and punched their guts out.
Once he was done with his attack, he and his shadow clones dispersed in multiple directions and once he reached a certain distance, all of his shadow clones disappeared including his real body as it appeared in front of a tree hundreds of kilometers away from where he was a second ago.
'The damage should be enough for now. It'll take them at least a week or two to launch another attack and this much time is more than enough for me to get things sorted here.' he thought as he stared at the desert area in front of him.
With two days of time to prepare, he created ten wood clones and sent them to random directions in front of him so that they could cover a larger range. Kira on the other hand, created a small cabin inside the root of the tree and decided to stay there until his clones sent him the signal.
Two days quickly passed while he practised his elemental release and while he was in the middle of his practice, he felt a sudden influx of information. Unlike before, he didn't faint and only felt a slight sting in his head before dispersing all of his clones.
A wooden mask formed in front of his face as he took a deep breath and unsheathed his wakizashi.
'I've never used this in actual fights but maybe today is the right time.'
Anticipation gripped his heart as he thought about the third raikage, the man who was officially the second fastest in the current times.
'Well, he doesn't really know about me... and I don't really have to worry about witnesses. I can freely use everything this time.'
As he thought of this, a smirk formed on his face as his hunger for battle grew. He had been training for almost seven years now, and since he was close to reaching his maximum potential, he wanted to test things out.
The Kira from the past would have simply tried to end things early and get out safe, but now, he had changed considerably. While he still had certain values that he still hung on to, his mentality had changed to that of a true shinobi.
Thinking about the grand fight that he'd have in the near future, he grabbed the scrolls around his waist and summoned his micro bugs. The first thing they did was to fly high up into the air before dispersing.
Unlike the time when he fought against the hidden sand when he send his bugs in a group which made them look like black clouds, this time, they were close to invisible. Unless someone had a mangekyou sharingan that specialised in observation far higher than regular sharingans, no one would be able to see his bugs.
Even the chakra signatures would be hard to notice by the byakugans as every single thing in this world had chakra, even the air. The only difference was that it was extremely diluted and technically different from that chakra that the regular shinobi moulded in their bodies by combining physical and spiritual energy.
This was the reason why it was called the nature chakra.
His bugs were so small that the byakugan users could very easily mistake their chakra as the chakra around them and ignore their entire existence. Of course, if someone like Kagura descended onto earth, then she would be able to spot the bugs as her proficiency with the byakugan was at an unprecedented level.
'There's no need to worry about things that have an extremely low possibility of happening.'
He got out of the tree's root and sat down on the ground while leaning back against the tree trunk, making himself comfortable until his microbugs marked every single hidden stone shinobi so that Kira could kill them all for his achievement.
Time slowly passed and almost four hours later, he got a signal from his bugs which basically meant that they were done marking the targets. Now that his targets were marked, Kira ordered his bugs to come back to the scrolls as they consumed quite a bit of chakra.
In the past four hours, his bugs alone had consumed 20% of his chakra but he didn't really mind it as the first step to his plan was executed perfectly. He waited for a few seconds to calm his heart and once he felt like he was ready, he teleported to a random guy and saw his surroundings change.
Everything moved in slow motion as he focused and instantly sliced the guy's head. While was still mid-air, he looked around and processed all of the information before shooting out a burst of wind chakra out of his hand to rotate his body so he could take a look behind him.
'Right... more than 10,000 hidden stone shinobi and the hidden cloud shinobi are nowhere to be seen. The only one here is the third Raikage. It's just the start of the battle, but I guess I'll start with the big guy first.' he thought, immediately making a decision as he had already marked all the hidden stone shinobi.
Unfortunately, by the time his bugs reached the third raikage, he had already activated his lightning cloak, which was the perfect counter to his bugs, especially when faced with users of high proficiency with the technique like the man whom he planned on facing next.
Before his bugs could eat the chakra of the lightning cloak, they'd be burnt to a crisp and trying to forcefully pierce through the armour was a wasteful idea.
