The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

66 water separation

"But captain, where are we going to retreat now?" In a bad situation, choice becomes very important.

"Let's head towards the town. If Sarutobi's people can arrive in time, they will definitely choose to stay there." The reason why humans can stand at the top of the food chain does not rely on the strongest body or sharp teeth. Claws are just an advantage in numbers. Human beings know that holding together for warmth and unity is strength, it seems to be an instinct.

Jubei's choice is quite satisfactory, and it seems to be the most suitable self-rescue plan at present.

Although the noise of Konoha's ANBU and Kirikage's ANBU fighting was not small, for a small island with many hills, there is another world just across the top of a mountain. Not to mention the sound, even the light of fire rising into the sky is not necessarily noticeable. Can be observed. So if you expect to be discovered by friendly forces and come to support you, it is better to expect that your opponent will be merciful and let you go.

Having lost their troops and generals, the Konoha ANBU group embarked on the safest path to seek support.

At the same time, the Kirikage team following closely behind them was also pursuing the Konoha ninjas who were escaping ahead at an alarming speed.

"This direction is"

"Huh, it's the only town in the Kingdom of Waves, right?" The Kingdom of Water is originally a country composed of islands, and the Kingdom of Waves has always been the scope of their influence. Anbu, who often perform various tasks, are quite familiar with the surrounding environment and easily discovered Konoha's intentions.

"They probably want to join up with Hatake Kakashi."

The leader thought for a moment: "Maybe he is seeking support from Konoha."

"This is unlikely. Konoha's support is not that fast. After all, it is still some distance from Konoha Village."

"Kakashi is already in trouble. Even if they just join up with Kakashi, our mission will be even more difficult."

"At that time, I can only do the next best thing and keep an eye on Momochi Zabuza."

"We can't let them join Kakashi." After much thought, Kirikage's leader made this decision. "A guy who can severely damage Konoha can be considered a great achievement. It can give me and us extra points in front of Yagura." "

The leader explained vaguely, and then brought the topic back to the pursuit of Konoha ninjas: "Qinglian, how far are we from them? Let's also check to see if there is a shortcut nearby."

"Yes, Yubari-senpai." Qinglian was short in stature and had a very soft voice. He sounded like a child, so it was not possible to tell his gender yet.

I saw him floating down from the tree trunk and stopping by a stream. His tense body seemed to be trying to sense some unknown element in the air. Then he put his hands deep into the stream and closed his eyes: "The people of Konoha They stayed nearby for a while, but soon left at an extremely fast speed. As for the shortcut, there is a place two kilometers away. If their goal is really a town, then that is the only way for them to pass."

“Good, that’s it”

The people of Konoha, who were walking forward like wolves and deer, suddenly felt a wave of malice.

Saki, who fell at the end of the team, couldn't help but look back at where he came from. That was probably the opponent's sentient ninja.

There are many types of perception, such as sound, smell, residual chakra, etc., which are the most basic methods. Of course, there are also some extreme methods that can directly impose the user's perception on the body or spirit of the recipient. Above all, ninjas with more sophisticated chakra manipulation will more or less be aware of it.

Just like now, Zoji felt that a pair of eyes were always staring at him, but there was no way to accurately tell where this gaze came from.

"Don't be distracted and keep moving forward. As long as we go fast enough, they won't be able to catch up with us."

Jubei, who was opening the way ahead, also noticed that as the captain's duty, he also had to stabilize the mood of the team members.

"Yes" Saki replied, still absent-mindedly, but most of his attention was still behind him. After a simple exchange, everyone suddenly became enlightened. With the sound of whooshing through the sky, Jubei's team had left the coverage of the forest, and a piece of rippling blue water appeared in front of them, with flat fields in the distance.

The change in the terrain fully showed that they were not far from the human settlement, and Jubei's high-spirited heart was slightly relieved.

But it was only for a moment

The next moment, his body suddenly paused in mid-air. When the two team members passed by, he suddenly exerted force and grabbed the wrists of Saki and the general with one hand, and then twisted his waist. , with the dance of his thick arms, he "blown" the two of them out like a huge fan.

"team leader"

噗

Although the force used by Jubei was not small, Sakichi and the general did not feel any malice, and they easily stabilized their bodies in mid-air. The direction in which the captain threw them was also a soft beach. Obviously, his actions had other intentions.

And that slight sound was the best interpretation of Jubei's strange behavior. Along with the sound like the bursting of bubbles, the entire water surface boiled in an instant. Countless water bombs were like arrows, shooting rapidly towards the possible landing place of everyone.

Seeing the water escape flashing in front of his eyes, Saki finally understood Jubei's intention. His group was attacked again.

Fortunately, the sharp-eyed Jubei discovered the anomaly under the water and immediately protected the two of them. Then he skillfully used Wind Release to deflect the attack directed at him, thus minimizing the loss.

After a series of attacks, combined with Jubei's plan to switch from defense to offense, Konoha's three ninjas had formed a vague encirclement, trapping the person who had just attacked underwater.

"who"

As Jubei drank, the tense water surface slowly broke open, and a transparent figure gradually emerged from the water. As the figure continued to rise, new liquids continued to blend into his body, or as the figure continued to rise, The bumpy contours drip.

As its body size skyrocketed, this strange creature gradually stretched out its limbs and differentiated its head, creating an appearance that was infinitely close to that of a human being.

Soon, the texture of the clothes became clearly visible, the transparent body gradually solidified, and a creature that was no different from a human appeared on the water.

Judging from his attire, there is no doubt that this guy is the Kirikage ANBU he encountered before.

"This is impossible." Faced with the strange scene, Jubei was extremely surprised, "Is this the water clone? But you should still be there."

"Is he still on the way to chase you?" This guy is indeed like a water avatar. He has the memory of the original body and even the tone of his voice is exactly the same. "Then I'm really sorry to disappoint you. I actually appeared here. , but this is not a water clone, but a water elephant clone."

Having said this, Wuying spread his hands and said with a smile in his tone: "But even if I say this, you won't understand, just think of me as a water avatar."

Ninjas with slightly better perception ability can tell the difference between a substitute or avatar and the main body if they have enough time.

The most important reason why the Substitution Technique is still so popular is that in fierce battles, ninjas don't have time to distinguish.

But now, everyone in Konoha has plenty of time, and Saki can feel that the person blocking them is indeed a clone.

It was just like the water clone used by Momochi Zabuza when he trapped Kakashi. However, the guy in front of him gave Saki a slightly different feeling. This guy's chakra seemed to be integrated with the pond in front of him, making it appear that Extremely weird.

But this is not the point. The point is that the clone technique at such a distance retains how many percent of the strength of the original body.
