[Hokage] Terukawa

Six seconds... About six seconds, there may be a fluctuation of about one second... But I don't want to count on this, because it all depends on Sanwei's mood when charging the water dragon shell.

I grit my lower lip with my teeth.

In the past few minutes... maybe ten minutes?Who knows, in short, in the previous period of time, I released a total of five clones/bodies that have been transformed by using the transformation technique, and finally got the relatively average time of "six seconds" - of course I also know The number of experiments is still too small, and using such a rash number to gamble with life and death is like a child's play, but—the reality is that we still have a fatal point that we must not ignore, that is, maybe the three tails are really not worthy of it. Has an IQ, but doesn't it deserve a bad temper?

Damn.At this moment, no one knows Mitsuo's rage better than me.After just five experiments, I can already clearly perceive its emotional changes, so... I don't want to try again, and I can't try again.

No one can guarantee that when Sanwei finds out that he has been tricked again, it won't scream up to the sky, and then drop a tailed beast jade enough to level the entire coast.

Things like water dragon shells can still be split if I work hard, but if it is a tailed beast jade... then forget it, there is no need to try that thing.I haven't really faced the Tailed Beast Jade, but I have seen the traces left by the Tailed Beast Jade of Ichizuru Crane, just around the previous Kikyo Mountain-I seem to have forgotten to mention this, but In fact, it is one of the various tasks I took on a few days ago.That task was not difficult, it was as bland as the boiled cabbage in daily operation to me, the only thing that left a deep impression on me was the scene that seemed to be swept by a laser... maybe the word "remains" It is a more appropriate choice.

Tailed Beast Jade——that's a fucking light cannon.

six seconds.It's almost enough for me to blink two or three times at the limit distance, and then look at the distance from here to the gravel shoal... There is a little difference in height, it is not easy to calculate, and there is a risk of spraining my feet when landing, but it will definitely not exceed five Second-rate.I still have a few fantastic ideas that I don't know if I'll use them as a backup plan... Of course, it's better not to have the opportunity to use them.

done.

I stretched the muscles of my legs calmly, moved my fingers again to form a split/body technique, and then used the transformation technique to turn the clone/body into a uniform of Kirigakure Anbu——in the fake Under the premise that people are dressed differently, Isofu will usually attack the "people" in Kirigakure uniforms first-this is my experience after the experiment, if it works, it's great, if it doesn't work... then I have nothing to do , in short, it's done.

After going through the envisioned process in my mind for the last time, my actions are all ready.

Start.

The first step is to let the avatar/body under my control flash in the opposite direction once—the avatar/body dummy, go first!

Immediately afterwards, I focused all my attention on Isofu's mouth—it inhales, condenses, and prepares to breathe... This is a water dragon shell.

I made a judgment very quickly in my head, and at the same time watched Isofu's movements.Good dynamic vision allowed me to easily capture every camera movement and timing of Isofuku - it was about to drop its shell - right now! !

Just a moment before the cannonball left the mouth of Isofu, my two fingers, which had already been in a posture, suddenly pinched together.

For the first time, the instant body...started.

Keep an eye on the ground ahead.I told myself.Keep your vision and reflexes in check, keep your mind in check and don't get dizzy.

From the corner of my eyes, I recorded very clearly the complete process in which all the occlusions around me were completely cleared at an imperceptible moment, and then replaced by an empty space. Through the barriers of countless layers of space... This feeling is actually a bit magical, which is quite interesting.

Wait a minute, now is obviously not the time to think about new ninjutsu, don't think about it, think about something else, like... Mio Isofu?

Yes, Mio Isofu.

But did it notice me?

Probably not yet.There is no deafening roar, and there is no roar of water slapping... It seems that its water dragon shells have not had time to land yet.

it is good.

I feel my toes touch solid ground.

Limit distance, once.

it is good.

The second instant, start.

Everything in front of me became blurred again before it could be solidified, and in this state of being both real and not real, even the concept of time became no longer clear.In such a process, I couldn't effectively calculate how many countdowns I had passed, but I had to suddenly receive the loud noise and fine water curtain from the outside in an unclear state, followed by There seems to be a small stream of chakra flowing back—well, it seems that the water dragon shells thrown at the clone/body finally landed?The avatar/body can finally leave the stage... Hidden achievements and fame?

This is a very strange state.It seems that all concepts in the world are infinitely blurred—including the domain of time and the barrier of space—it seems that all these crucial elements have lost their meaning at this moment.

Everything in the world loses its meaning... wait a minute, it doesn't seem like it's there yet.

So what's left of it?So in this moment... or in this state, what is left of me that makes sense?In this state, under such a grayness——

The answer is about to come out.

--thinking.

It's pretty good, I thought to myself, I don't know if I can be considered a philosopher now...but [-]% of it should not be counted.

Then my toe touched the ground for the second time.

I'm not very lucky, I seem to have stepped on gravel... But I should be satisfied, at least I didn't trip over it, did I?

Isaofu noticed me?

Everything around began to become stable again, and all the afterimages were condensed and formed at this moment.However, before the boulder in my chest fell back to the ground for the second time, a phantom pain that was infinitely close to a needle prick suddenly exploded on my back, followed by a physiological shudder.This extremely strange anxiety and chills penetrated my whole body like wisps of electric current in a very short time, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and chilled all over-but the fact is that I have not experienced it for a long time I've had this feeling.

Damn, it's not just being noticed, it's simply being red dotted, right?

——But what does the fact that you red-pointed me have anything to do with me?

At this moment, my thoughts involuntarily turned to another very confusing direction.I didn't look back to confirm the state of Jifu, and finally the soles of my feet stepped on the ground truly and completely.

Extreme distance, twice.

Pretty.

You don't need to worry—at least not yet, I tell myself, but you never know if there's a water dragon shell in the air waiting to hit the ground with you the next time.

So get your knives ready.

The third instant, activate!

In the gap this time, I don't have time to think about the world and the rules.The thick and sharp blade intent just combined with the chakra that spread out in the palm of my hand, it almost made my body that has been wet for a long time to condense frost - but this low temperature is not enough for me. It's nothing, because my whole body and every part knows exactly what to do next and how to do it.Like me, they all know that if they want to draw their swords immediately after landing for the third time, then they must go all out to draw their swords this time.

I straightened my toes but didn't hit the ground as directly as before, and I quickly realized I was on the slope where the Gobi meets the gravel shallows.There is no problem with my landing point, but the terrain has changed.

——It's not completely useless, I think, at least I've been passively shorter, the water dragon shells are naturally deflected, aren't they?

What's messing with my hair?

It was the wind—the strong wind that the water dragon carried.

At this moment, my body seemed to have consciousness by itself.It spontaneously and freely mobilizes every muscle and vein in my body, so my movements of spinning around in the air are extremely natural and smooth.My knife is out of its sheath, and the sharp, short clang is completely swallowed up by the turbulent sound of water cutting through the air-I do like the sound of a knife out of its sheath, but I don't really care about it-it's not a fun instrument after all .

The thin shadow of the water restrained the rainbow-like light of the knife, but could not restrain the thin blade.The knife slashed horizontally in my hand, and the unexplainable shape of the water dragon shell was cut into two by me—but it was not easy.The force of Mio Isofu's spouting of the cannonball can't be seen on the surface, until it hits it, you will find that the huge force is really scary. The force surface of the blade itself is already small to a certain extent, but I still need instinct Shake your wrist to adjust the angle of the knife face to prevent dislocation.

Fortunately, this step is enough.The front is just but I can't run yet?The purpose of splitting the water dragon shell with the knife is not only for self-protection, but also to buy time for the launch of the fourth instant body technique.

After all, the risk of the fourth blink is much higher than before.

I knew my trick had worked when I stepped on the gravel beach for the fourth time and saw another water dragon shell explode not far in front of me.

The difference between the fourth blink and the first three is that the distance of the fourth blink is not the limit distance, it is only a little more than half of the limit distance, if Mitsuo Isofu still fires the water dragon shells according to the previous limit distance , then this little trick will be just enough for me to be safe again.

the fifth time.

Sudden accident.

The seemingly solid pile of rubble under my feet sank very unfriendly when I stepped on it, which almost made me stagger under my feet.I uttered a swear word in my heart, but I didn't dare to continue to think about it. The air explosion behind me pulled out a long scream at the extreme speed, which was sharp and piercing at the same time, and it was almost instantaneous. So I squeezed out all my thinking ability-it was a long moment, and in most of that moment, I seemed to just stare at my fingers with my head down.

Blank, blank piece, and blank everything.Thousands of thoughts flashed here in my dull and chaotic brain, but like a fool I couldn't catch any of them, so I could only widen my eyes, as if doing so would make me A flower--or an emergency brain--from that innocent, now bruised hand.

Then my hand formed a mark at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and then a jagged and ugly stone suddenly appeared in my palm, everything was without warning, and that stone was also So, as if it was supposed to be there.

understood.

I bent my knuckles and bounced the rock far away——from this point of view, my technique of launching the concealed weapon should be pretty good, at least its flying trajectory is a fairly standard straight line .

I couldn't read any further.

The moment the stone left my finger, the water dragon shells from above obliquely hit my feet without any suspense.The sinful gravel pile under my feet exploded in an instant, and the moist sand rose up on the ground in a shape that looked like mushrooms. The clear flakes and scum were scattered and splashed out again, each one of them looked like a hidden weapon with a top-level buff——fuck!It really hurts, damn it!

If your back suffers, it's absolutely terrible.

I was thrown on the ground and my whole body was in pain, as if the whole body had fallen apart, the bones were smashed and rejoined, the muscles were rubbed hard and stretched out again to inject blood—— Even so, I gritted my teeth and rolled two more times on the ground. After making sure that the cover was perfect, I carefully lifted the transformation technique, allowing myself to transform from a broken stone back into a human being.

...It's okay, except that there are a lot more gravel flying around than I expected, the overall situation is actually not bad.The series of countermeasures just now can be said to be witty in a hurry - using a dog instead of the real body to stay in place as a target, but I turned into a stone and was held in the hands of the dog, and then was shot at the right time popping out, thus mixing the existence of the real stone with the gravel and sand that exploded later, creating "I'm just an ordinary piece of broken stone that was splashed out, but it happened not to be too broken, and it happened to fall on the the illusion that it is just inside a large pile of gravel".

Just looking at this gambler-like painting style, you can know that I was not calm when I came up with this plan. Of course, it is not impossible to take risks, but this move is too risky. The style of painting since then is particularly different.

... If he hadn't been pushed into a hurry, who would have come to bet on this big one.

In fact, looking at it optimistically, although the senses in my back are not very good now, at least it is not to the point where I am missing arms and legs.On the other hand, where I was just now, it has become a big pit, and the forcibly turned sand and soil set off a strong earthy smell nearby, and all the slightly larger stones were broken into small pieces, and the exposed red cross-section was exposed. Under the light of the sky, the others were broken into a ball, and it was so chaotic that people couldn't see why.

Well, that's okay, the bet won.

I adjusted my posture cautiously, looked up at Jifu, who was still soaking in the sea and hadn’t gone ashore, and couldn’t help thinking about something—why didn’t Jifu go ashore? ?

But this is not what I should be thinking about now. Compared to this, I should find out those two unlucky Konoha ninjas as soon as possible, and then run away with them.

I pinched a medical ninjutsu for simple hemostasis, as for the others... I will leave it to my physique to solve it myself.

I moved my hands and feet a little bit, and after making sure that there was nothing serious about the bones, I began to shift my position.Although the scope of the gravel beach is large, there are no more than five fingers in the area where the stones are big enough to hide two people. As long as the concealment work is done properly, it is not a complicated task to touch them one by one.

Clinging to the boulder, I began to approach the center of the gravel beach—this should have been an easy process, enough to allow me to catch my breath.

If there is no discomfort like a thorn in the back for that moment.

I turned my head and stared at the surrounding gravel beach, but I didn't find anyone or anything suspicious, and the bloody situation made my spirit tense-it was a kind of secretive and malevolent. sense of voyeurism.

Which means that maybe in some dark corner no one knows, no matter what I do here, that gaze follows me everywhere.

My feelings couldn't be wrong, even if the extreme discomfort lasted only a few seconds.

And it's impossible for me to search around under Isofu's nose.

...that guy figured it out.

It's extremely dangerous, but I have no choice... to be completely passive.

I gritted my teeth in secret, but I could only turn my head back blankly and approached the first hiding spot on the gravel beach.
