Chapter 224
A white-haired man with red eyes stood in front of the cave under the rain, quietly looking at the rain outside.
"grown ups!"
A female ninja appeared in a somewhat embarrassed manner, gradually growing from a black dot in the rain, and after a few flashes, she came to the man and knelt on one knee.
"You did a great job, Er!"
The man looked at the ninja who was chasing the woman from a distance, and he was not angry, but rather happy.
"You have done what I asked you to do. When I gain power, I will grant you what you want."
As they were talking, several ninjas had already broken through the rain and arrived in front of the cave. On their foreheads were the Iwagakure logo. When they saw the female ninja being tracked kneeling at the feet of a white-haired man, they tacitly surrounded the cave and the man.
The leader of Iwagakure is a thin ninja with a hedgehog-like hairstyle. He is the Explosive Ninja Hunter who was exchanged from Konoha's prison during the peace talks between Iwagakure and Konoha.
Because of being captured and leaking some information during interrogation, after returning to Iwagakure Village, Shou was punished accordingly. He was kicked out of Iwagakure's elite team, the demolition team, and had to travel around for the village, leading the team to carry out dangerous missions to earn money to make up for the village's losses.
"The hunter of Explosive Release has finally lured you out of the Hidden Rock Village."
The eyes of the white-haired man Beiliuhu were filled with joy as he finally got what he wanted. The look he gave Shou was full of greed and desire.
"A trap?"
Shou gestured to a companion next to him. The other party closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings, then shook his head slightly at him.
"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
"Earth Release·Earth Dragon Bullet!"
The two Iwagakure warriors stepped forward in tacit understanding and used their own ninjutsu. One of them turned the ground around the cave into a swamp, restricting the enemy's movement. The other summoned an earth dragon head in front of him and frantically released stone bullets containing chakra towards the area where the swamp enemies were.
Shou was carefully observing the other party's response. Since the other party deliberately lured them here, it was obvious that he had some purpose, so he naturally had to observe the other party's strength.
puff!
Biruhu in the swamp turned into a wooden stake and was swallowed into the ground by the swamp.
The perceptive ninja in the Iwagakure team noticed something, turned around abruptly, and pointed his finger in a certain direction in the rain behind him.
Circles of light balls surrounded by electric light attacked them one after another.
"Lightning Style: Light Fang!"
"Earth Escape·Earth Formation Wall!"
A thick stone wall suddenly rose from under the feet of the Rock Ninja, blocking the pursuing light bullets one by one.
However, the moment the stone wall blocked the light bullet, the hunters took advantage of the cover of the stone wall to change their shapes and positions.
Is it Yunyin?
Seeing the ninjutsu used by the other party, Shou guessed it immediately. Although he did not see the other party's forehead protector, in some special cases, this forehead protector representing identity would be temporarily removed and hidden.
The war between Iwagakure and Konoha has ended, and there are no major conflicts with Kirigakure and Sandagakure now, but the Kumogakure, their Kage died at the hands of Iwagakure.
Given the temperament of the latest Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, it is not unimaginable that he would deliberately cause trouble and misfortune for Iwagakure when the clan is weak.
Of course, the greater possibility is that it is a bounty ninja from the underground black market who has accepted the mission related to him. Those hyenas will do anything for money. Puff puff puff!
The light bullets penetrated the stone wall and made large holes.
Earth Release·Split the Earth and Turn the Palm!
Shou's mind sank, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, then pressed them hard against the ground. The ground beneath Bei Liuhu's feet suddenly cracked, and pieces of broken rock swallowed Bei Liuhu into the ground, and then covered him up again.
At the same time, a dull explosion was heard from underground.
That was when Kari used his bloodline limit and the conduction of the ground to turn the rock into explosives.
The explosion in the small, closed space underground would cause far more damage than on the ground. Under normal circumstances, ordinary enemies would have been killed. But Shou felt hesitant because he found that the explosion point of his Explosion seemed to be too weak. It was as if there was some kind of power underground that stopped the explosion from continuing.
Is it Thunder Release?
Shou thought. Earth escape is restrained by lightning escape, this is well known. In the past, the Third Raikage, in addition to his own powerful strength, also occupied a certain restraining relationship.
The next moment, there was no need for Shou to guess.
A blinding flash of lightning suddenly shot up from the ground into the sky, and a dark cumulonimbus cloud quickly spread around along with the lightning.
The next moment, blinding white lightning burst out from under the black cumulonimbus clouds and swept towards the ground.
The companions around Shou were unable to avoid it and were hit by the lightning. Then, like a magnet, they instantly attracted more lightning bombardments and turned into corpses.
In just a blink of an eye, he was the only survivor of the Iwagakure team led by Kari. He used the impact of the explosive blast to force himself out of the range of the cumulonimbus cloud.
Stab la la!
The brilliant electric light was like a shark's dorsal fin, cutting through the ground and attacking the hunter with an extremely impactful sight.
With strong electric light lingering all over his body, Beiliuhu jumped up from the torn ground. His body was as fast as a ghost as the electric light entangled him. Under the horrified gaze of Shou, Beiliuhu caught the dazzling electric light in his palm and stabbed towards Shou.
Damn!
Shou only had time to curse in his heart before the ball of lightning in Beiliuhu's hand quickly occupied his eye sockets at a flashing speed.
Explosive Style: Mine Fist!
Shou instinctively used his most proficient bloodline ability, blocking his body with his fist wrapped in stone, and before it made contact, he could trigger an explosion and push his body back again to dodge.
But soon, Shou's heart suddenly turned cold.
As if he had guessed his thoughts, the lightning on Beiliuhu's hand shot out a flash of lightning, piercing his fist directly. Under the strong lightning, Shou's whole body was numb, and the refined chakra also stagnated and became silent for a moment.
The stone in his hand, which was used as a carrier for the blast, completely failed under the electric light. In the electric light, Shou's consciousness fell into a coma.
The other party obviously knew all his intelligence, and his every move and the techniques he was good at had been studied thoroughly.
"Who?"
After successfully capturing the Explosive Hunter, Hiruhu suddenly looked towards the rain curtain in the distance. His perception made him realize that there was a powerful chakra approaching him quickly.
"Uchiha! A ninja from Konoha?"
Seeing the forehead protector and the iconic blood-red eyes of the person coming, Beiluhu frowned subconsciously.
