Usurping Akatsuki: Rewriting the Fate of the Ninja World

Facing Konan's trembling eyes at this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa did not rush to take ruthless action to provoke her, but steadily consolidated his own image first.

He mouthed silently, "Don't be impulsive, Sister Konan, calm down, I'm here."

It takes time to persuade Konan to defect, so he is very patient and tries to gain her favor without making a fuss.

What's more, the current situation is far from safe. Rashly provoking Konan at this time will only put oneself in danger.

There is still a team of Iwagakure ninjas below.

These were not the "Iwagakure spies" that he had fabricated to take the blame, but real ninjas from the Great Ninja Village!

Sometimes good things don't work, but bad things do.

Just as Shiba Kiyokawa was considering the threat from Iwagakure, the leading ninja of Iwagakure below suddenly looked up at this moment.

"Who?! Who's on the roof?!"

As the captain spoke, another older ninja in the team quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear!"

A javelin shot towards the ceiling! Without any hesitation,

Shiba Kiyokawa and Konan were forced to fall down and appeared in the warehouse.

But the next moment, white paper was flying all over the sky, and Konan immediately launched his counterattack.

"Shiki paper dance!"

Her body spread out and floated like a butterfly, turning into a dancing paper butterfly. Then it gathered into several paper javelins in the air and shot towards the captain of the Iwagakure team at a high speed!

Anduo, the hoarding merchant who had been so arrogant just now, was so scared that his pipe fell to the ground.

"What?! How could there be someone here?! Protect me! Protect me quickly!! Kill them all!"

Upon hearing this, the other Iwagakure ninjas in the warehouse also took action.

At this time, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had just landed, was even more fortunate that he did not rush to use words to shake Sister Konan's heart.

On the contrary, because of the subtle influence he had received over the past few days, Konan immediately used up some of his paper butterflies to protect him.

Perhaps Konan herself did not realize that Shiba Kiyokawa's importance in her heart had been rising steadily, and he had become the most important person in the organization after Yahiko and Nagato.

And Shiba Kiyokawa naturally would not waste this preference. He mixed in with the paper butterflies and immediately made full use of the environmental advantage. He raised his hand and threw out a large number of his specially made paper shurikens.

There were paper butterflies floating around all around, and the captain of the Iwagakure had just been repelled by the mysterious blue-haired girl with a paper javelin. The remaining Iwagakure ninjas immediately fell into a misconception and subconsciously thought that the paper shuriken thrown by Shiba Kiyokawa were similar things.

So he dodged hastily and didn't dare to take it head-on.

Even one Iwagakure ninja loudly reminded his teammates.

"This guy also knows paper ninjutsu! Be careful!"

Little did he know that what Shiba Kiyokawa threw was just ordinary paper.

After using a lot of waste paper to easily resolve the enemy's encirclement, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately found a direction and quickly rushed towards one of the enemies!

The man was probably a Genin. When he saw Shiba Kiyokawa rushing towards him, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes. He immediately retreated instead of advancing, and quickly formed a seal with his hands.

There was no desire to attack in his eyes, and the hand seal was most likely not an offensive ninjutsu. His eyes drifted to the side and behind him, but there was clearly nothing there.

Combining this information, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately made a deduction—

The opponent was planning to use a substitution technique!

So he threw a shuriken at random, attacking in a perfunctory manner.

After confirming that the opponent was still forming seals, he immediately stopped, drew his sword, changed direction, and rushed to his side and rear!

"Bang!"

The shuriken hit the target, but after a flash of white smoke, the original enemy immediately turned into a wooden stake.

Everything happened just as Shiba Kiyokawa had expected!

The wooden stake with the shuriken stuck in it bounced twice when it hit the ground, making a crisp "dong dong" sound.

However, at the same time as the sound was heard, Shiba Kiyokawa had already quickly changed direction and rushed in front of the enemy who had just completed the displacement!

"Varied--?!"

As soon as the man uttered the first syllable of his question, which was a mixture of doubt and horror, Shiba Kiyokawa ended his life with a single blow!

The older ninja who had just released the "Rock Pillar Spear" to pierce the ceiling was horrified when he saw this.

"Damn it! He's at least a Chunin! Don't face him alone!!"  

He hurriedly stopped the actions of the two remaining young Genin in the team, signaling them to join up and not be left alone, while he quickly squatted down and began to form hand seals.

This time he didn't call out the name of the technique, but that didn't affect Shiba Kiyokawa's quick predictive response.

He leaped into the air and continued to throw fistfuls of paper shurikens.

The ninjutsu of the Iwagakure Village has always been based on earth escape techniques, and the opponent has a squatting action as a preparatory action, so it is always a good idea to leave the ground first at this time.

The two Iwagakure Genin were once again forced back by the waste paper shuriken, and Shiba Kiyokawa took the opportunity to jump onto the storage cabinet in the warehouse.

"Earth escape technique: beheading in the heart!"

At this time, the older ninja's technique was finally activated, but Shiba Kiyokawa was no longer within his reach.

This move was supposed to be a technique that suddenly launched from underground to pull the enemy into the ground, but now the older Iwagakure ninja simply used it to move and quickly came to the position where Shiba Kiyokawa had just stood.

Apart from that there has been no progress.

At this time, the older ninja's heart was already full of vigilance.

Why can the other party always see through our ninjutsu in advance? Just now, Yuta's substitution technique was also seen through, and my mental decapitation technique was also seen through. Could it be that... he has a special eye technique?

Just as he was thinking about it and was extremely alert, a young Genin suddenly discovered the blind spot.

"Damn it! These are just ordinary papers! He's framing us!!"

After using it twice in a row, Shiba Kiyokawa's "Paper Escape" was finally exposed.

The Genin who discovered the secret felt that he had seen through the enemy's trick and was very confident. He immediately abandoned the teachings of the older ninja and jumped onto the storage cabinet, running straight towards Shiba Kiyokawa with a kunai in hand!

Shiba Kiyokawa throws the paper kunai again!

"What a stupid trick!"

The young Genin neither dodged nor evaded, and at the same time showed a determined look in his eyes.

But Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but start laughing.

"boom!!"

The next moment, a violent explosion sounded!

The older Iwagakure ninja was furious!

Another companion's life was gone!

It's a detonating talisman!

Shiba Kiyokawa hid an explosive tag in a paper kunai.

Previously, when he asked Sister Konan for advice on throwing paper shuriken, he learned the little trick of hiding detonating talismans in paper props.

As long as you draw lines and runes similar to those on detonating talismans on each piece of paper, and then wrap them together and hide the flames, it will be difficult to tell the difference at a glance.

Especially since there was nothing in the paper shurikens thrown out by Shiba Kiyokawa in the first two waves, it further weakened the enemy's vigilance.

Such a sinister move naturally received "high praise" from the enemy.

"Despicable Rain Ninja!"

But Shiba Kiyokawa wouldn't care about such a weak accusation.

Insidious? Despicable? Isn't it enough to just win? He would rather call it efficient!

After efficiently killing two Genin, the last Iwagakure Genin had temporarily lost his will to fight and retreated far away to the side of the merchant Ando.

It seems to be protecting the employer, but in fact it is avoiding war.

So Shiba Kiyokawa turned his attention to the older Iwagakure who had performed two earth escape techniques in a row.

This person should be a Chunin, right?

He can take this opportunity to test his current strength.
