Chapter 48: Invader 5
Those eyes are really spirited!
She saw him again!
He hurt himself!
While the blond youth was still unable to decide whether he should be happy or apologize, everything that followed happened so quickly that it was almost unbearable for the blond youth. The "spirit" fell into his arms, the attacker made another move, the "spirit" spat out a lot of blood, and the "spirit"'s breathing weakened to the point where he could hardly feel it.
"Deidara, what are you doing! If it weren't for the intel that this base is likely to have S-class defectors, there's no way they'd let you out!"
"The Elder Council has allowed you to come out, it's to assist with the mission, not to fool around! You're supposed to be a genius Jonin, but you're nothing but a monster! Still, I'll be keeping an eye on you! Scram! Monster!" Several brown objects flew from the hidden location of the Jonin towards them, with most heading in my... or Deidara's direction.
Upper Ninja Iwao's mouth had a notification to get out of the way, but the bomb in his hand was thrown at Daidara without hesitation, before he could even finish speaking.
"Speed Bomb!" was one of the bombs he had given them before, and he never thought it would be used to attack himself!
It's too close! If I were alone, I could escape, but I absolutely won't let "Elf" get hurt in front of me again. Can't dodge, one dodge, the explosive force will definitely hurt "Elf"!
His anger was about to erupt, and yet someone dared to add fuel to the fire! He's dead for sure!
Di Da La was afraid that as soon as he made a move, it would affect the "Elf" leaving his protection range, and even the seal didn't dare to form, nor did it have time to form.
"Lord! Protect White!" B-Rank Ninjutsu - Ice Wall Technique isn't something that White can use instantly right now, and I'm not even sure if White's current Ice Wall Technique can withstand this many explosions.
So, only Kimura's corpse can play a role in this situation!
"White! Behind me!" Kunimaro slightly bent down, letting his upper body be covered as much as possible within the protective range of his raised arms.
The adults have said that my Blood Succession is the top-level Blood Succession that simultaneously possesses the strongest spear and the hardest shield. This explosion, I can definitely block it completely! Kizuma's two arms each produced a huge greyish-white bony shield, protecting himself and Shiro.
Boom! Boom! The sound of explosions echoed, and at the same time, the white "Water Escape: Dense Fog Technique!" was also completed. The explosion dust that should have been there mixed with the water molecules summoned by the "Water Escape: Dense Fog Technique", condensing into droplets of muddy rain, flowing together to form a muddy mess on the ground, without any smoke visible at all.
But the purpose of White is to eliminate smoke! The previous two times, once was because I couldn't make it in time, and the second was to prevent damage, there was no room to deploy this ninja technique, only this time under Kimimaro's protection, I can finally use this move completely and without interruption!
It's just the smoke from earlier that will harm the adults! I won't let the smoke appear again!
At the same time, although blond youth... Dida La had done his best to protect me in this explosion, but Dida La himself was not good at defense and could hardly make any effective defensive moves.
But with Haku and Kimimaro, I don't have to worry. As long as they listen to me, the explosion just now, Kimimaro can definitely defend against it. Otherwise, the strongest spear and the hardest shield wouldn't be worthy of being called the "strongest". The defensive power that can withstand even my Gaara's "Sand Waterfall Funeral" is incredibly strong, how could it possibly not be able to block a mere bomb?!
As expected, the last of the Upper Ninjas, Iwagakure no Jōnin, threw all the bombs in our direction with one breath, except that most of them were concentrated on me, Bai, Junmaru and Daidara, but there were still some fish that escaped to the side of the children at the Orochimaru base.
After the explosion, although there was no thick smoke due to White's quick reaction, that Iwagakure ninja did not take advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack. On the contrary, he saw that his main targets were still alive, and he had even used the devil's bomb to attack the "devil". Since the "devil" was still alive, if he continued to stay there, he would definitely be attacked by the "devil", who had a record of taking down four jōnin at once. A ninja shouldn't fear death, but that doesn't mean they should go looking for it either.
However, the departure of mediocre people will not change the scorching airflow of the explosion, the powerful impact, and with the addition of urgent time, almost no one can form a defense.
Most of Daijamaru's pawns were only lightly injured, and few died in the explosion. Shiranui Kunoichi was also unharmed under his protection.
And I and Daidara... who were at the forefront of the entire explosion and also the main target...
Dedara's back was almost all burns, after all, he faced the explosion head-on, and the shrapnel and shattered rocks shot towards us like bullets. Dedara raised his right hand to shield his face, while his left hand firmly held me in place, but this powerful explosion still shook us both, who were at the forefront of the blast, and we quickly crashed into the wall.
This shock is like adding fuel to the fire for my not light injuries, after all, I and Deidara are closest to the Hidden Rock Village, and the main target of attack is also us. I tried hard to swallow the blood that was about to burst out of my mouth, I don't want to add pressure to the tense peace between Deidara and Haku and Kimimaro now.
Fortunately, the object that Red Wild used to launch a sneak attack on me was a special form of chakra, and I... am most skilled at controlling the chakra within my body. Even the proudest, most violent, and most versatile Nine-Tails' chakra can be well controlled by this body of mine. There are probably only a few types of chakra in this world that I cannot manipulate.
I transformed that red, wild Chakra into a semi-solid form to block the wound on my chest, so I didn't lose too much blood and worsen the injury. However, the injury won't be alleviated because of this. Although I tried my best to maintain my facial expression, my pale complexion is still beyond my control at this moment.
Dedara's hair fell in front of his face, seemingly blown out of its tie by the explosion. The gruesome wound on his back still affected his movements, but Dedara slowly and steadily walked up to Kimarou and Byakuya. I, who had almost fainted from the bomb attack, handed something over to Byakuya standing next to the intimidating Kimarou.
Throughout the whole process, Dida did not utter a single word.
Bai carefully adjusted her position in my arms.
Shiro noticed that the bombs thrown by the upper ninja Iwagakure were very similar in texture to the souvenirs brought back by the adults in the past few days. Adding to this, his appearance was also very similar to the "yellow-haired uncle who kidnapped the adults" described by Kimimaro, and his interactions with the adults led Shiro to naturally come to these conclusions.
"What's wrong, Daidara? (These bombs were all made by you! These bombs that hurt the adults were made by you! You're Iwao, come to kill us! Why don't you make a move? Still protecting the adults?)" But after seeing Daidara's eyes, Bai only fell silent.
"It's all because of him...!" Damn it! Junmaro hasn't dared to say anything negative since I scolded him for speaking ill of the blonde-haired boy, but he swallowed back two words. Not being able to speak doesn't mean he can't take action to vent his frustration!
Jun Maluo swung his fist out, and his right hand, which was full of sharp bone blades, solidly hit the target.
One slash, no relief; two or three more, and fresh blood splattered on the gray-white bone blade, like the fallen cherry blossoms of a lingering spring.
