Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 75 Battle of the Stone Ridge Mountains ([-])

In front of Konoha's army, there was a vanguard led by Namikaze Minato.

The number of vanguard troops is about a hundred, and the members are all elite personnel temporarily drawn from various brigades. The task is to clean up the sand ninja scouts encountered along the way.

Xia Shu was also selected to join the vanguard force and was assigned to the third team. The captain was an acquaintance who had performed missions together before—Kurama Kazuma.

On the way, the scouting ninjas found two sand ninja scouts. Naturally, Minato Namikaze would not let them go. He arranged for the first and second teams to chase and kill them, while the others continued to advance towards the Shilen Mountain Range.

When passing a small stream, a scouting ninja of the Hyuga clan spotted another group of sand ninja scouts through his eyes, and quickly reported to Namikaze Minato: "Report to captain Minato, behind the earth mountain 500 meters to the southwest, we found Five sand ninjas, one high ninja, three middle ninjas, and one low ninja."

After listening to the ninja's report, Namakaze Minato nodded, and said to Kurama Kazuma next to him, "Kazuma, you lead the third team to deal with them."

"Yes."

Kurama Kazuma took the order, led Xia Shu and several other team members, and rushed towards the southwest.

Sand Ninja's scouts naturally discovered the actions of Natsuki and the others, and left behind the mountain, fleeing frantically towards the back.

"Chase!"

Seeing that Sand Ninja was about to run, Kurama Kazuma led Natsuki and the others to speed up their pace. After a few minutes, they caught up with the fleeing Sand Ninja scout team.

Without saying much about the scene, the two teams fought directly.

"Illusion, seal of five senses, vision."

Kurama Kazuma took the lead, using the Kurama family's secret illusion, the visual seal in the seal of the five senses, against the five sand ninjas, and then rushed into the sand ninja team, and Kunai stabbed the sand ninja captain in the neck.

Xia Shu and the other four team members followed closely behind, took the opportunity to rush into the sand ninja team, each chose a sand ninja as a target, and delivered a fatal blow with the way they were good at.

The sudden loss of vision caused commotion in the sand ninja team. The experienced jōnin and two middle ninja each used their own methods to break through the illusion, and then escaped without hesitation using the substitute technique.

The other Chunin and Genin were not so lucky, they were not able to escape in the first place, and died instantly under the slash of Natsuki's Spiral Maru and another Chunin.

In a fight, two sand ninjas were reduced, leaving only three sand ninjas, and Natsuki's team consisted of one jōnin and four elite chunin.

Kurama Kazuma didn't give the other party a chance to turn the tables, and arranged cautiously: "Natsuki, join me in dealing with the jonin, and everyone else, eliminate the opponent's chunin as soon as possible."

"Yes." The four of Xia Shu agreed and rushed towards their respective targets.

Although Kurama Kazuma is a Jōnin, his strength is mainly reflected in illusion, and he is not very good at melee combat, so Natsuki became the main force to attack Sand Ninja Jōnin, and he used illusion to assist in the attack .

Sand Ninja, a Jōnin, is good at Taijutsu and Earth Dungeon. At the beginning of the battle, he covered himself with a layer of rock armor, and then used a ninjutsu that Natsuki had never seen before, turning the ground in a large area It trembled like an earthquake.

When Xia Shu was struggling to stabilize his figure, Sand Ninja Jominin rushed over instantly as if walking on flat ground, and slashed at Xia Shu's chest.

'boom'

Reluctantly, he used the substitute technique to avoid it, but he was still not far away from the range of the shaking ground. His feet were unsteady, and his body fell forward, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Sand Ninja Jominin's eyes flashed brightly, and he chased after him using the instant body technique. When he was about to kill Natsuki, a loud shout sounded, and Kurama Kazuma once again used illusion to relieve Natsuki from the crisis.

"Illusion, seal of five senses, touch."

The disappearance of the sense of touch made Sand Ninja Jominin stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Natsuki stopped the [Chaos] skill that was about to blurt out, and rolled to avoid Sand Ninja Jominin's beheading, and regained his strength. After gaining a sense of balance, confront him again.

In fact, with Natsuki's current strength, as long as he uses two major skills, even in such an unfavorable environment, he can easily deal with this ordinary Jonin.

But now that Kuruma Kazuma is assisting him, Xia Shu didn't end the battle, but took advantage of this rare opportunity to further hone his physical skills.

With the assistance of Kurama Kazuma, Xia Shu continued to fight against the opponent, and in the actual combat, he gradually transformed the physical fitness that had become very strong through hard training on weekdays into a strength that he could handle with ease.

After the Chunin battle was over, Natsuki used the Chaos Skill to disrupt the opponent's actions, and the Armor Breaking Skill to weaken the opponent's body surface's earth shield protection, and hit the heart with a spiral pill, killing the Sand Ninja Jōnin.

Xia Shu killed a Chunin and a Jōnin in this battle, gained thousands of energy points, and an extremely rare energy essence, which made him even more delighted. After the continuous battle, his strength had a small breakthrough, and he was able to open the third door of the Eight Door Dunjia.

After dealing with the sand ninja scouts and splitting out a shadow clone to search for the loot, Kurama Kazuma led a few people to chase in the direction of the vanguard.

After catching up with the vanguard, everyone continued on their way, and after eliminating several sand ninja scouts they encountered along the way, they came to the vicinity of the miniature basin of the Stone Ridge Mountains.

"Everyone disperses, check the surrounding two kilometers, find sand ninja scouts, and eliminate them immediately without reporting."

After Namikaze Minato gave an order, the vanguard troop spread the net to check, and after confirming that there was no trace of sand ninja within two kilometers, they stood guard on the spot and waited for the arrival of the large troop.

Not long after, the large force, led by Orochimaru, rushed to the miniature basin, and asked everyone to stop in place and take a break.

A small team was sent to check the status of the detonation array. Orochimaru took Nara Shikahisa and Hatake Mosaku to find Namikaze Minato waiting in the simple open-air command post in the center of the basin.

Seeing a few people approaching, Namikaze Minato stood up to greet them, with a smile on his face, he said, "Master Orochimaru, all the sand ninja scouts encountered on the road have been dealt with, and they won't find out what's going on here."

"Minato, you did a good job." Orochimaru naturally believed in Namikaze Minato's ability to handle affairs, so he didn't ask the scouts any questions, sat down on a chair with a few people, took out the map to watch, and waited for the inspector's report.

After a while, a ninja came over, saluted the few people inside, and reported back: "Master Orochimaru, there is no problem with detonating the talisman array."

"Okay." Orochimaru nodded, motioning for him to step back, then put his hands on the table, and ordered with cold eyes: "Now that everything is ready, our plan will officially begin."
