NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31: chapter 31
Yumiko jumped on trees tiressly while activating her chakra field from time to time checking if someone has followed
her
thankfully she didn't feel any chakra signature till now
she wasn't that worried since she has Genma and the duo to take care most of the mission, but still being safe than sorry
and true to her worries, at some point on her trip she did feel a faint chakra signature
she analyze
'someone is coming this way. Their chakra is almost unsensible if it wasn't for my natural sensing skills'
she thought worriedly 'they know how to hide their chakra very well... I can't even tell if they are strong or not...
if I stop now there would be a great risk if they turn out to be Jonin, and if I keep going like this with my full speed my stamina wont be the same as now...'
yumiko sighed in expectations
'at this point it's obvious they felt me sensing them, so they are waiting for the right opportunity to attrack me...'
stopping, she created a shadow clone and gave it the scroll, the shadow clone nodded in understanding before departing
Yumiko knows that creating shadow clone is risky and would drain her chakra
That is under normal circumstances, but her chakra reserves is larger than a normal chunin
'I will hold them off until my shadow clone reachs the land of Iron!
let's pray they arent jonin' yumiko looked ahead of her
not a moment later a woman appeared in front of Yumiko
'it seems like she isn't a coward as I thought... hmm interesting...but either way this child has no chance against me' the woman thought in amusement
yumiko eye widen in realisation 'she is a missing-nin!'
yumiko guard raised to it's fullest as she quickly unsealed her Gunbai while focusing all her attention at the woman
the said woman smirked "giving a child such an important scroll, it seems like konoha is no longer that strong" she laughed not taking yumiko seriously at all
"give it to me kid and I might spare your pitiful life"
instead of answering yumiko swing her Gunbai after building wind chakra
the woman jumped, avoiding the winds easley before landing on a nearby tree
"I see you are determined to die girl" she said in annoyance then started doing dozen of hands sign before spitting water
'Water release: wild water wave jutsu'
yumiko on the other hand did the fire ball jutsu adding some yin chakra to it in hope to eliminate her enemy at first hit.
the fire ball was dense that made the woman eyes widen
with the density of her fire being higher than normal, it pierced through the water easley.
If it wasn't for the woman speed she would've been a dead meat
'did she just add yin chakra to her jutsu? how so? despite being so young...' the woman who's name Sasaki was stunned to say the least
Sasaki was experienced enough to know how hard it is to add yin chakra into jutsus
'she is a prodigy I give her that, eliminating her now would be necessary.
From what I saw, she surely is a ninjutsu type so it's better to engage her in taijutsu fight'
Sasaki started decreasing their distance in hope to reach Yumiko, but each time yumiko swing her Gunbai with wind chakra to keep her away
Sasaki snored in distaste
'she is keeping her distance every time I try to decrease it... tsk this is a waste of time'
"And here I thought you werent a coward, it seems like I was wrong" she taunted while doing hands sign
yumiko on the other hand smirked ignoring her comment
'let's use Kakashi tactics' yumiko created three shadow clones and they went to close their distance at their full speed
Sasaki eyes widen as she stopped doing her jutsu with how dangerously close they become
'what the fuck? how come she is so fast? she isn't just a ninjutsu type... that will be more troublesome than I thought' concluded Sasaki.
she fought the shadow clones with Kunai in hand when she suddenly jumped high in the air dodging yet another fire jutsu
the shadow clones followed Sasaki in the air
while Yumiko smirked as she flickered away several meters
The woman in mid-air eyes widen in shock
'shit!' she also flickered away in hurry, but the three shadow clones explosion still reached her arm
she cursed 'this fucking brat...I shouldn't have underestimated her'
she quickly took another kunai from her pouch then dodged a bunch of shuriken
coming her way
'it seems like she want to waste time till the reinforcement come... tsk enough playing games' Sasaki thought before approaching Yumiko at alarming speed
Yumiko eyes widen in horror while she tried flickering.
Unfortunately, luck wasn't by her side as the woman started delivering punches at vital points on her body so fast while adding chakra to her fist
Yumiko spit out some blood before flickering away, but the woman did the same, giving no time to yumiko while doing another jutsu
'Water release: starch syrup capturing field'
the earth under yumiko started sticking with liquid
yumiko quickly understood 'fuck she is trying to mobilize me!'
She used substitution technique, replacing her body with a tree branch
'this is dangerous, she is more stronger than I thought... I should be careful' Yumiko thought seriously
Sasaki suddenly appeared behind yumiko with Kunai in hand, prepared to slice her throat
yumiko quickly dodged with her Gunbai before jumping away
'fire style: phoenix sage fire jutsu!'
small fire balls headed towards Sasaki who paid them no mind and instead waved some seals
after finishing; a spinning water vortex appeared around Sasaki body dodging all the fire balls
yumiko watched carefully the unfolding B-rank jutsu, putting all her attention at the water vortex
suddenly yumiko felt a presence behind her, so she quickly side stepped dodging a Kunai who was going to pierced her heart
unfortunately the kunai penetrate her shoulder instead.
Wasting no time, she jumped away
'was that a clone back there? when did she created it?' Yumiko thought on guard while placing her free hand on her injured shoulder
'now I am bleeding I should probably heal my shoulder so it won't get in my way'
before she can do anything again, many Kunais and shuriken headed towards her way at fast speed
quickly after that, four water clones surrounded her and preventing her escape
Yumiko cursed before flickering again
Sasaki thought with agitation
'this girl can flicker freely without any hand seals, this is rather troublesome... but thankfully I did many traps while she was distracted with my water clones. Now I should only make her go there'
Sasaki again appeared before Yumiko, engaging her in a close range fight
after minutes of fighting, Sasaki smirked in victory 'Now there is no way she can escape my traps'
Sadly, Yumiko was obvious to the traps since they were hidden very well
