Chapter 13 - 13: You Are Seeking Your Own Death
The thorn of Amegakure.
At first, it sounds like an amazing guy, but the title of a Ninja is actually not very important.
At least Uehara Naraku knew that there's Ninja in the Sunagakure, and he also gave himself the name of the Red Sand Cloud (Akasajin) and Daimaru of the Wind (Kaze no Daimaru).
The strength is not good, and the title is quite bluffing.
The Ame Ninja captain in front of him is really not purely bluffing. He's an official Jonin of Amegakure and called Hattori Hirakawa.
Hattori Hirakawa felt that he's a little bit powerful than the other and his personality was also arrogant, so he gives himself the title of Ame no Toge (The thorn of Rain).
Uehara Naraku raised his head to look at Hattori Hirakawa and quietly said in the gas mask: "Ame no Toge, it seems to be a powerful character?"
"Huh, you will know it!"
Hattori Hirakawa is still a little complacent.
Uehara Naraku supported his gas mask and said seriously: "Okay, I won't tease you, I was joking just now...because the name Ame's thorn sounds garbage!"
"Bastard!"
Hearing that kid's disdain for him, the complacency on Ame's captain's face faded instantly, he drew out his Ninja sword, and rush towards Uehara Naraku.
At the same time, he said to his subordinates: "Oi, I will handle this kid, you go and hunt down the enemy who led away the Salamander!"
"Yes, captain!"
The group of Ame Ninjas move and turned around to chase after Konan and Salamander.
"Raiton·Ten Thousand Thunder Sky Prison!"
Uehara Naraku uses a handprint symbolically, stretched out his palm to the sky, and thunder clouds accumulated on his head.
As Uehara Naraku released the Chakra in his body to strengthen his ninjutsu, a current of lightning radiated rapidly from his body and the area of thundercloud became bigger and bigger.
After a while, the thundercloud covered the area above the Ame Ninja and thunder and lightning suddenly fell from the sky and struck Hattori Hirakawa!
Hattori Hirakawa instantly create a water clone to block the blow for himself, he said with lingering fear: "This kid, how did he release such a powerful Thunder Ninjutsu with only one handseal?"
If he did not create a clone as a substitute, he felt that he will not be able to avoid that lightning strike. Even if the lightning looks extremely small but this is natural thunder, he is not an idiot to fight it head-on!
But this is just the beginning.
As the thundercloud completely covered this area, waves after waves of thunder and lightning fell from the sky and the other ninjas could not decide to attack or not.
Some people use clone to avoid thunder and lightning the other hide in covered place to avoid thunder and lightning attacks... but no one knows when this ninjutsu will end.
Who will be knockdown by the next lightning strike!
Uehara Naraku was secretly calculating in his heart: "The duration of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sky Prison is 3 seconds, and the lightning strikes every 0.5 seconds. The minimum is 100 chakras. Now I'm using 1,000 chakras, the range is increased tenfold than the lasts. Time also increased tenfold and within half a minute, 60 thunder and lightning will fall on everyone's head..."
It doesn't even take half a minute at all.
After a while, the first ninja who could not hold it appeared the lightning bolt fell every 0.5 seconds. He was finally unable to resist, and was hit by a lightning bolt from the sky, knocking him to the ground!
Maybe because that ninja was still alive the thunder and lightning continued to strike down, until he was completely turned into a lump of coal.
Then, the second, third, fourth... In just a few seconds, more than a dozen Ame is down!
"The interval between lightning strikes is about 0.5 seconds!"
Hattori Hirakawa tried his best to avoid the lightning attack while shouting loudly: "Hurry up, everyone will work together to cover me and I will use defensive type Earth ninjutsu!"
His idea is correct.
No matter which ninjas, 0.5 seconds is not enough to complete a jutsu, and even one second could not make the handseal of defensive ninjutsu.
If everyone gathers together, as long as someone can use the water wall to help everyone block the next attack, then they can use defensive ninjutsu in rotation!
A three ninja who knows someone must die have chosen to sacrifice themselves, and one by one helped Hattori Hirakawa block the lightning, giving him time to complete the seal!
"Doton Kekkai: Dōro Dōmo!" (Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness)
Hattori Hirakawa shouted loudly, and rocks flew in his direction quickly surrounding him and his remaining subordinates forming a safe house made of rocks.
Originally this ninjutsu trick was used to imprison the enemy, but now it can only be used to protect himself and his teammates.
Four or five bolts of lightning fall!
Sparks are splashing on the earth dome!
Rocks were powdered into pieces by lightning!
Hattori Hirakawa hurriedly released his chakras, regaining the thickness of the earth dome, and his subordinates also released their chakras with soil properties to support the earth dome.
However, this did not allow them to hold on for too much time.
With the intensity of the lightning, even if they have a lot of chakras left, it's impossible to rely on the thickness of this earth dome to block the lightning attack!
They will be breached sooner or later...
Hattori Hirakawa turned his head and glanced at his subordinates sadly. There were four complete ninja squads, but now there are only five of them left...
"Captain..."
"Captain..."
A pair of trusting eyes looked at Hattori Hirakawa, one of Ame ninja said in a low voice: "Captain, let's us cover your escape!"
"It's hard to escape."
The man named Ame's Thorn shook his head and explained in a deep voice: "I observed just now that every lightning bolt comes from the thunderclouds in the sky. If you want to survive this ninjutsu, there are only two ways …"
The first method is naturally to use all means to escape the coverage of the thundercloud. The distance is at least several hundred meters, which is very difficult.
The second way is to rush up to kill the boy who released ninjutsu with all his strength. They are only tens of meters away from the boy.
Ame ninjas have no time to waste.
Hattori Hirakawa quickly formulated his own strategy, and quickly said: "Let's rush out and kill that kid!"
As soon as his voice fell, the entire safe house was completely destroyed by lightning!
Five Ame ninjas quickly rushed towards Uehara Naraku. Each ninja also threw large and small stones continuously, and used their Kawaremi techniques to resist the attack of thunder and lightning, while shortening the distance with the enemy.
"Huh?"
Uehara Naraku looked at the Ame Ninja who charged in amazement, why are they rushing, do they want to kill me?
That's so sad...
As long as they hold on for another second, the skills of Ten Thousand Thunder Sky Prison will end. If they scattered and flee, there is a high chance that they will be able to escape.
However, they made the wrong choice.
The thundercloud in the sky gradually dissipated, and Naruto Uehara used a chakra to create a small ball of magic puppets. The expression on his face was hidden in the mask and he said furiously: "You are seeking your own death!"
