Chapter 5 This Is the Ninja World
After giving the special oil to Xiaonan, Bai Ye told her how to use it while thinking about the next battle plan.
Judging from the movement trajectory of the enemies within the sensing range, the "Kusa Ninja" rushing towards this place did not seem to have discovered the position of himself and Xiaonan, but more like encountering a strong enemy and having to flee to their own position.
So, what kind of terrifying ninja did they encounter to choose to escape directly?
Was it the well-known elite jonin of Iwagakure and Konoha, or the five shadows standing above tens of thousands of ninjas?
Bai Ye didn't know, but those fleeing Kusa Ninjas had become his enemies at the moment. In the case that both sides did not know their identities, it was the wisest choice to deal with the opponents first.
After waiting patiently for a while, four Kusa Ninjas appeared in the sight of Bai Ye and Xiaonan.
"Three Chunins and one special jonin!"
After sensing the chakra fluctuations, Bai Ye whispered to remind Xiaonan, and then threw out the kunai in his hand, accurately hitting the branch where the Kusa Ninja landed, and threw out a few shurikens.
A grass ninja in midair couldn't move at all, and his body was scratched by shuriken, forcing him to land on the ground.
Xiaonan also took the opportunity to throw paper shuriken, and dozens of paper shuriken formed a dense barrage, instantly submerging one of the grass ninjas, and directly turned into a hedgehog.
"Well done, you finally decided to kill!"
After praising Xiaonan, Bai Ye continued to look at the remaining three grass ninjas. Although it was a little different from what he expected, it was already very good to be able to eliminate a quarter of the enemy's combat power in the first sneak attack.
Among the remaining three grass ninjas, one was poisoned by the poison he applied on the kunai, and would soon lose his combat ability.
The eyes of both sides stayed for less than half a second, and the next round of battle had already begun.
Bai Ye and Xiaonan planned to repeat the same trick, but as soon as they released the barrage of kunai and shuriken, the grass ninja captain on the opposite side directly lifted the ground and used the hardened rock layer to block the shuriken attack.
Not a grass ninja, but a rock ninja disguised as a grass ninja?
Bai Ye thought to himself, and then shouted to Xiao Nan: "Xiao Nan, you go deal with the ninja over there, I will take care of their captain!"
Xiao Nan was a little nervous for killing someone for the first time, but she still subconsciously obeyed Bai Ye's order and moved towards the Chunin.
The more she reached such a critical moment, the more she could feel Bai Ye's reliability.
After Xiao Nan left, Bai Ye looked at the captain of the 'Kusa Ninja' in front of him, and said in a faint tone: "Should I call you Kusa Ninja or Rock Ninja?"
After his identity was revealed, the Rock Ninja captain frowned: "Aren't you a ninja from Konoha?"
Bai Ye nodded gently: "Of course not, I am a Rain Ninja from the Hidden Rain Village."
"Then why did you stop us?"
The Rock Ninja captain suppressed his anger, and reason told him that he could not conflict with the other party. Once the other party delayed time, the terrifying Konoha ninja would catch up immediately.
"You appear on the land of the Rain Country, of course we have to stop you."
Bai Ye looked at the Rock Ninja Captain as if he were a fool, then took a step forward and launched the next round of attack. Countless pieces of paper came out of his clothes, turned into shurikens, and whistled out.
Then, Bai Ye formed a wind escape with both hands, using the strong wind to enhance the power of the shuriken.
After the Rock Ninja Captain formed a seal with both hands and slapped the ground, a stone wall rose from the ground, blocking the two of them, barely blocking the group attack of shurikens.
Hiding behind the earth flow wall, the Rock Ninja Captain shouted loudly:
"Rain Ninja, do you want to provoke a war between the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Rock Village? Our team just mistakenly entered the territory of the Rain Country and will leave soon!"
Bai Ye ignored the Rock Ninja Captain, formed a seal with both hands, and spit out a pool of water from his mouth.
The pool of water suddenly submerged the earth flow wall. With the help of the sound of the water, the pieces of paper bypassed the earth flow wall and completely covered the Rock Ninja Captain hiding behind it.
The captain of the Rock Ninja pulled out a kunai and tried to cut the paper with it, but the detonating talisman hidden in it began to explode.
As the fire lit up, the dense explosions scared away the birds in the forest. The black Rock Ninja captain, who was blown up all over, completely lost his ability to fight and could only look at Bai Ye with resentful eyes.
Bai Ye did not approach rashly, but slowly approached after finishing off the knife with a kunai.
After checking the spoils on the corpse, he found the Jounin vest and the mark of the Rock Village. Bai Ye then realized that the Rock Ninja captain was actually a Jounin of the Rock Village.
Do I have the strength to kill a Jounin?
Bai Ye shook his head gently. He didn't think he could kill a Jounin-level enemy casually. This time, he was able to kill this Rock Ninja Jounin. In addition to the sneak attack factor of the enemy being in the dark, it was also related to the opponent being frightened and losing his will to fight.
So many factors combined together, he had the feat of killing the Rock Ninja Jounin.
In this way, the opponent might just be a special Jounin of the Rock Village, not a real Jounin.
Moreover, the crisis facing him and Konan was not completely resolved. They only killed the escaping Iwagakure Squad, and the ninja who forced the Iwagakure Squad to escape was the real monster.
At this time, Konan, who was chasing another Iwagakure, also returned to the original place.
After overcoming the psychological barrier, the Iwagakure, who was only a Chunin, could not be the opponent of Konan. After three years of education by Jiraiya, the trio actually had the strength close to that of a Jonin.
It was just that because they were unwilling to kill, they were too conservative every time they attacked, so that they could not exert their full strength.
Konan glanced at the captain of the Rock Ninja who was lying on the ground. When she was about to say something, she saw the paper next to Bai Ye, and her doubts in her heart became even worse.
She didn't remember when she had used ninjutsu here.
Maybe the battle was too intense just now, so she forgot it.
Konan didn't think much about it. After coming to Bai Ye, she looked at Bai Ye with a serious face and asked with concern: "Bai Ye, are you injured?"
Bai Ye shook his head and picked up the trophy with the Rock Ninja logo: "Senior Konan, this group of people are not ninjas from Kusagakure Village, but Rock Ninjas disguised as Kusagakure. They may want to provoke a war between the Rain Country and the Grass Country..."
Konan felt that her brain seemed to be a little insufficient.
Aren't they chasing a group of wandering ninjas? Why are the identities of wandering ninjas changing all the time? Just now, they were disguised as Kusagakure, but now they have become disguised as Rock Ninjas.
The world of ninjas seems to be more complicated than she imagined. She can't even tell who the enemy is.
But if she is a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village, and really mistakes the other party for a Kusagakure ninja and reports the information, a conflict might really break out between the Land of Rain and the Land of Kusagakure.
Bai Ye noticed Xiaonan's expression, and he wanted to comfort Xiaonan, but Xiaonan needed to be impressed.
"Senior Xiaonan, not only are they disguised as ninjas from other countries, but even the villagers may be disguised by the enemy."
"In this chaotic world, you can't completely let your guard down when facing anyone, including your companions."
"This is the cruel ninja world!"
