Chapter 19 2 vs 1
boom!
The leader of the ninja group slammed his hand on the wall, causing it to shake violently and crack.
Seeing their leader unleash his power, the ninjas fell silent.
"You bunch of idiots, all you ever think about is killing people. Do you really want to lure the Cloud Ninja into slaughtering you all before you're satisfied?!"
The leader was a rogue ninja from the Grass Village. He had survived countless hunts and killed his pursuers, but he knew that one day he would be killed.
By chance, he was recruited by the Mist Ninja and sent to infiltrate the Land of the Moon to gather intelligence on the Cloud Ninja.
In the leader's eyes, he is now just a pawn of the Mist Ninja, or even a discardable piece that can be abandoned at any time, which is truly pathetic.
But in order to gain the protection of the Mist Ninja, he had no choice.
By demonstrating his strength, the leader suppressed the unrest among his subordinates.
"So what if a buyer appears? We'll keep making trouble, poison the food, release insects and rats, and they'll still fail. The restaurant will still be ours in the end."
Outside the house, Kyosuke's shadow clone hung upside down on the eaves, quietly gathering information by looking at the interior through the window.
There are eight ninjas in total, and no shadow clones have been discovered so far, indicating that their strength is not particularly great.
Sensing that his chakra was running low, the shadow clone released its seal and disappeared, while Kyosuke's main body obtained the information he wanted.
Kiichiro was checking the accounts on the second floor when Kyosuke appeared in the shadows and relayed the information.
"Are they backed by the Mist Ninja? Then there's no future trouble. The Moon Country is seen as prey by the Cloud Ninja, and they won't tolerate the Mist Ninja's audacity here. So as long as the Mist Ninja doesn't want to start a war, they won't make any big moves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have supported a rogue ninja as a proxy."
Kyosuke shared the same idea: "So, as long as we eliminate them cleanly and efficiently without causing a major disturbance, we won't attract the interference of the Cloud Ninja. What kind of weapons do you have? If setting traps can reduce the risk, that would be great."
Kyosuke was still a miserable genin with little money. His only weapons were kunai, shuriken, and wire, which prevented him from setting up powerful traps.
Kiichiro took out ten explosive tags and two bottles of poison: "Explosive tags are too noisy, let's use poison first."
Kyosuke took three explosive tags for self-defense, and then the two set off to set up a trap.
"Damn it, the leader is too cowardly. He even claims to be a jonin of the grass ninja. I think he might be lying."
"Yeah, it would be great to just loot this place, we could definitely make a lot of money."
As evening fell, two ninjas, dressed as ordinary people, walked along the deserted alley, cursing and swearing. They looked at the shops on both sides of the street and the women on the street with greedy expressions.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Just then, a child carrying a basket of apples accidentally bumped into one of them. Seeing the two men's fierce expressions, the child was so frightened that he almost cried and kept thanking them.
"You brat, you're asking for it!"
A ninja in a bad mood kicked the child, sending him flying several meters before he collapsed to the ground and vomited, scattering apples all over the floor.
The ninja was still not satisfied and was about to kill someone to vent his anger when another ninja persuaded him, "Forget it, the boss doesn't allow trouble. Have an apple to calm down."
It must be said that the apples on the ground were red and big, and they even gave off a sweet smell. The two ninjas were tempted when they saw them and picked up two apples to eat.
In this world, being able to avoid going hungry is considered middle class; meat and fruit are luxuries, so these two ninjas didn't feel ashamed to steal an apple.
The crisp fruit flesh burst open, and the juice flowed down their esophagus into their bodies. The two ninjas felt a surge of pleasure and were even a little lightheaded. Before they could react, they collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Kyosuke stopped pretending to vomit and went forward to finish them off with a knife.
This was his and Oniichiro's plan: to silently kill lone ninjas, reduce their numbers, and then launch a final assault.
At the same time, a ninja was in the wilderness, wielding a long sword and repeatedly making slashing motions.
Suddenly, he heard a whooshing sound behind him. He turned around and slashed, knocking away two shurikens.
"Who goes there!"
The ninja shouted and was about to fire a signal flare to summon his comrades when suddenly his footing gave way, and he was pulled into the ground and killed with a single blow.
Kiichiro wiped the blood off his sword and ran off in another direction.
Kyosuke and Kiichiro arrived outside the courtyard; their blades had already been coated with poison.
Although they had taken down three enemies, the remaining five remained together, giving them no opportunity to attack; they had no choice but to launch a direct assault.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Kyosuke and Kiichiro each used their shadow clones, and the two shadow clones, each covered in explosive tags, jumped into the courtyard.
Soon, the sounds of fighting erupted in the courtyard, and Kyosuke and Kiichiro silently observed the battle.
Taking advantage of the surprise attack, the two shadow clones killed two enemies before being killed by the remaining three. Before dying, they detonated explosive tags, and in two huge explosions, flames and heat waves engulfed the remaining enemies.
"Is it resolved? It seems not."
Kyosuke looked at the flames in the courtyard and saw a figure rush out of the flames—it was the leader.
The leader's clothes were badly torn and sparked, and he had many wounds on his body, but he didn't care. He charged at Kyosuke with a kunai in hand, and Kyosuke didn't fight back, but kept retreating.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Kiichiro formed hand seals, and a strong wind blew towards the leader. The leader had no choice but to stop chasing Kyosuke and jump back two steps to avoid the strong wind, but he smelled a sweet fragrance.
"There's poison in the wind!"
The leader's expression changed, and he immediately held his breath. At this moment, Kyosuke and Oniichiro launched fierce attacks from the front and back.
At this moment, the surrounding air was filled with poisonous gas. Kyosuke and Oniichiro had taken the antidote and could ignore the effects of the poisonous gas, but the leader could only endure it.
The leader held his breath to fight off the poison gas while simultaneously battling the attacks of the two men. Although he was holding his own, he would surely die if this continued for too long.
He wanted to disperse the poison gas, but he didn't know how to use wind magic, so he deliberately created an opening, pretending to be exhausted and about to collapse, in order to attract Kyosuke and the other two to attack, and then trade his injuries for his life to eliminate an enemy.
However, Kyosuke and Oniichiro were very cautious. Their constant attacks were only to wear down the leader's stamina. They would be even better if they could inflict small wounds. They did not care about any openings and were determined to wear down the leader.
In a short while, two wounds appeared on the leader's arm. Although they were just cuts and did not affect his combat ability, he felt a tingling sensation in the wounds and some redness. His mood became even heavier, knowing that the opponent's weapon was also poisoned.
We can't delay any longer!
"Fire Release: Hozuki Flame Technique!"
The leader opened his mouth and spat out green flames, creating a large ring of fire around him, which directly forced Kyosuke and Oniichiro back. Then he rushed out of the courtyard and headed out of the town.
"Chase!"
Kyosuke said fiercely, his clothes torn at the chest, revealing a shallow wound from which bright red blood flowed.
He hadn't expected his opponent to be so strong. Explosive tags and poison couldn't kill him, and the opponent had almost killed him in the brief exchange. If it weren't for Kiichiro's timely rescue, the kunai would have pierced Kyosuke's heart.
