Chapter 6 Don't you guys have brains?
Several months have passed since he transmigrated, and Shiba Kiyokawa still has no experience of directly fighting against ninjas from the five great ninja villages.
Therefore, he has always lacked an accurate assessment of his own abilities.
Although he has earned widespread respect within the Akatsuki organization, it is well known that the ninja rankings in smaller ninja villages are often inflated.
If we're really talking about the highest quality, we have to look at the five great ninja villages.
So he was on high alert for the battle that followed!
What he didn't know was that the older ninja opposite him was not only a Chunin, but actually a Special Jonin!
The next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa first threw the straight sword in his hand into the air and formed a hand seal.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Guidance!"
This is a ninjutsu that Shiba Kiyokawa learned during an exchange within the Akatsuki organization. It's a very ordinary C-rank Lightning Release technique, but it fits his fighting style perfectly.
A bolt of lightning drawn down from the void struck the straight sword he had thrown up.
The handle of the knife had insulating strips that he had wrapped around it beforehand.
Then, with his right hand, which had just finished forming a hand seal, he grabbed the falling lightning blade and, trailing a bright azure lightning bolt, quickly rushed towards the older Iwagakure Special Jonin!
This scene once again surprised the older Iwagakure ninja.
The technique before him was very common; he had seen it before. However, he clearly remembered that it should just be a common ninjutsu that summoned lightning from the void to attack the enemy.
How can this boy use this technique to achieve the effect of weapon enchantment?!
This kid definitely has something special about him!
He had suspected Shiba Kiyokawa of having a special eye technique before, and now he was even more convinced of his suspicions.
In reality, Shiba Kiyokawa had nothing; he was just constantly pushing his brain to its limits in order to survive.
The Iwagakure Special Jonin dodged the first strike, but Shiba Kiyokawa's footwork was skillful, and once he got close, his sword strikes continued unabated!
Soon, the Iwagakure Special Jonin was forced to use kunai to block.
But after just one touch, he felt a sharp, tingling, and stinging sensation throughout his entire arm.
The lightning technique on his sword caused him considerable trouble.
Helpless, the Iwagakure ninja could only throw out the kunai and then risk leaping backward quickly.
Shiba Kiyokawa's upward slash nearly disemboweled him on the spot!
However, thanks to this risky move, the Iwagakure Special Jonin successfully broke free from the entanglement. While in the air, he quickly formed hand seals with his free hands.
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
This move can be seen as an enhanced version of "Rock Pillar Spear", instantly summoning more sharp rock spears from under the enemy's feet than "Rock Pillar Spear"!
That wasn't all. After landing, the Iwagakure ninja kept forming hand seals and then slammed the ground again.
"Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"
A violent tremor began to spread from under his palm outwards.
Rows of lockers were knocked over one after another, and the warehouse was filled with smoke and dust. A large number of cracks appeared on the nearby wall in an instant.
The merchant Ando, who was in the distance, screamed in terror, looking like a runaway groundhog.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Beside Ando, the last Iwagakure genin, holding a kunai and standing guard, exclaimed with delight, "We did it! We took down that despicable Amegakure ninja!"
After unleashing his ninjutsu combo, the older Iwagakure special jonin gasped for breath several times from exhaustion.
However, the expression on his face was the same as that of his genin teammates, showing a mix of joy and relief.
In the center of the cracked warehouse floor not far away, the enemy's pierced body hung on a rock spear, still clutching the straight sword covered in lightning strike patterns.
Hmph, they're just ninjas from a small country after all.
The older Iwagakure Special Jonin had just begun to feel a little smug when, in the next moment, the corpse hanging from the end of the rock spear exploded into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang."
That slapped him in the face!
After the clone exploded, the straight sword also fell to the ground.
It was precisely because Shiba Kiyokawa handed this straight sword with its unique lightning pattern to his clone that the enemy's judgment was severely disrupted!
The next moment, the collapsed storage cabinet next to it exploded, and the real Shiba Kiyokawa rushed out from the debris and dust, scaring the old Iwagakure special jonin out of his wits!
The Iwagakure Special Jonin's chakra was almost depleted.
Starting with his "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear" at the beginning of the battle, he has released four ninjutsu of considerable level in succession.
This cost is almost equivalent to one card in the early days.
As a special Jonin, he has really tried his best.
Faced with Shiba Kiyokawa's renewed attack, he could only desperately throw out a kunai and then begin forming hand seals again.
This time, however, Shiba Kiyokawa did not leap into the air to anticipate and dodge.
He clearly saw the enemy's heavy breathing, which allowed him to accurately grasp the crucial information that the enemy's chakra was insufficient.
Combined with the information he had gathered a few seconds earlier that the enemy's physical skills were somewhat rough after he got close, he made a bold judgment—the enemy would not choose to fight him head-on at this moment!
So he casually threw out a few shuriken.
At the same time, Shiba Kiyokawa decisively changed direction and rushed towards the direction where the enemy's last gaze was fixed!
As Shiba Kiyokawa had predicted, his half-hearted shuriken impaled the enemy who remained in place, turning him into a wooden stake.
The enemy dared not fight him head-on, so what he just used to form hand seals was—the Substitution Technique!
As he turned around, Shiba Kiyokawa also completed his hand seals.
"Lightning Release: Swift Lightning Blade!"
Lightning chakra enveloped his palms and forearms, and with a hand chop instead of his discarded weapon, he pierced the heart of the Iwagakure Special Jonin in a classic Kakashi-like pose as he stabbed Rin!
Not far away, the Iwagakure genin who had just opened the champagne halfway through the match stared in disbelief, his mouth agape in shock.
The reversal can happen in an instant!
In his final moments, the Iwagakure Special Jonin stared intently at Shiba Kiyokawa, using his last strength to ask a question.
"Why can you always see through our techniques? Do you have eye techniques? Are you a Jonin? Such a young... Jonin?"
Shiba Kiyokawa first coldly withdrew his hand, and only after confirming that the other party was undoubtedly dead did he kindly offer an explanation.
"I don't have any eye techniques, I just have a brain."
Who says only eye techniques can see through an enemy's movements?
You can clearly use your brain too.
Don't you have any?
The Iwagakure Special Jonin seemed to understand the sarcasm implied in Shiba Kiyokawa's words, his eyes widening in fury.
Unfortunately, he could no longer say anything.
After dealing with this slightly troublesome enemy, Shiba Kiyokawa took care of the last Iwagakure genin and subdued Ando, the hoarder who had lost control of his bladder in fear.
The continuous deaths of the surrounding Iwagakure ninjas had terrified this unscrupulous hoarder, and all he could do now was beg for mercy.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Didn't your Akatsuki organization say we should understand each other? I understand you! I understand you completely now! So you can't kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Shiba Kiyokawa gave a sarcastic smile, ignored him, and turned to look out the window.
As soon as the battle began, the flying girl, Nan, took the initiative to drag the captain of the Iwagakure squad outside the warehouse to fight.
The commotion from the battle also attracted the wandering ninjas from the Land of Rain who had been patrolling the outer forest.
Seeing this, Ando seemed to feel even more secure.
But the next moment, after leaving the warehouse, Shiba Kiyokawa casually killed all the wandering ninjas in just a few seconds.
This scene utterly terrified Ando, provoking the other party to let out another sharp, groundhog-like screech.
"Aaaaah! How could you kill them?! They were all natives of the Land of Rain! Didn't your Akatsuki organization always say that people from the Land of Rain should understand each other? They're not from Iwagakure! They aren't!!"
The only response he received was a wide-open fist from Shiba Kiyokazu.
At this moment, Konan, who was struggling in the air, had no time to blame Shiba Kiyokawa for his cruelty.
On the contrary, she had heard every word Ando said, and for a moment she felt a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.
Why have their ideals, Yahiko's vision, and their teacher's teachings turned out this way?
