Chapter 55: Keep Your Word
Hunt's death completely terrified the remaining survivors on the battlefield.
The well-to-do middle-aged nobleman was now slumped on the ground, clinging tightly to the leg of the tax official beside him, shouting as he did so.
"Take me away! Take me away!"
The tax official struggled desperately, wanting only to escape as quickly as possible, cursing under his breath.
"Let me go! What Five Great Ninja Villages? What Will of Stone? Is this all you've got? How dare you treat us like this?! Give me my money back!!"
The last remaining Iwagakure Jonin heard the insults, but was powerless to refute them.
His strength is not as good as Gari's. After all, Gari is a character who can show his face in the Fourth Shinobi World War, where gods fought each other in the original work. But he is just an ordinary Jonin from Iwagakure.
Lord Hunting is dead, what should we do about this mission?
The other surviving Jonin from Iwagakure was summoned by Kari to call for reinforcements from the other two squads as soon as the battle began. Now, he is left alone to face Shiba Kiyokawa's relentless advance.
Despite being significantly older than Shiba Kiyokawa and being from a major ninja village, this Jonin from Iwagakure felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end when facing Shiba Kiyokawa.
"Damn it, Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"
But the battle must continue, no matter what.
The Iwagakure Jonin, filled with shock and rage, slammed his palm into the ground, creating numerous fissures that spread towards the enemy.
Shiba Kiyokawa dodged by jumping around, while simultaneously forming hand seals in mid-air.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
He couldn't learn the forbidden technique "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," but he could still master the ordinary "Shadow Clone Technique."
Especially after his recent discussion with Uchiha Shisui, his understanding of clones has deepened to a new level!
The moment they separated, the three clones disappeared along with the original body!
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
The Iwagakure Jonin then summoned a large number of ground spikes to block the attack.
However, the three Shiba Kiyokawas in front of him were all running, jumping, and flipping nimbly at the same time, using various flexible parkour moves to dodge his ninjutsu.
and many more!
He suddenly realized something was wrong!
There are three people in front of you?!
By the time the Iwagakure Jonin realized something was wrong, he heard the sharp sound of a blade cutting through the air beside him!
The illusion of being able to create clones, instantly switch positions, and even create a psychological invisibility effect through illusions!
This was supposed to be Shizuru's ultimate technique, but Shiba Kiyokawa stole it and had Iwagakure taste it ahead of time.
And the effect is outstanding!
Who says counterfeits are necessarily inferior to genuine products? That's what Shiba Emiya Kiyokawa says.
A vertical slash sliced across the shoulder of the Iwagakure Jonin, instantly taking away his arm.
"Aaaaaah!"
The Iwagakure Jonin let out a piercing scream and retreated in a sorry state.
Having lost one hand, he no longer had the ability to form hand seals and release ninjutsu. He could only use his other hand to pull out a kunai from his waist to barely resist the onslaught.
"Damn Rain Ninja, die!"
In the final desperate situation, he even went so far as to ignite an explosive tag at close range!
"boom!"
Shiba Kiyokawa was forced to retreat some distance.
Meanwhile, the Iwagakure Jonin with the missing arm leaped out of the dust and fled in a sorry state into the distance.
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa was not only somewhat dazed and filled with emotion.
There was a time when, not long after he transmigrated, he had to be careful when dealing with a mere Chunin from Iwagakure (in his opinion).
Now, however, he is able to single-handedly kill an elite Jonin, forcing him to self-destruct and flee in panic.
A gentle smile dispels the sudden surge of emotions that well up within.
He remained completely calm in the face of the enemy's escape.
Not to mention that he had already carefully prepared a backup plan on the other party's way back, he now had a way to prevent his opponent from leaving.
With a flick of his wrist, Shiba Kiyokawa casually tossed a shuriken at the kneeling nobleman from the Land of Rain who was clutching his leg, and asked...
"Are you planning to abandon the mission, you piece of trash?"
The rule of the ninja world: Those who cannot complete their missions are useless!
At that moment, the Iwagakure Jonin, whose arm was bleeding profusely, was drawn to the ground like a magnet, abruptly changing his direction and rushing over, attempting to take away the nobleman who had issued the commission one last time.
"That's why I say ninjas are a bunch of pathetic creatures trained to be lackeys."
Shiba Kiyokawa seemed to be talking to himself, yet it also seemed like he was deliberately speaking to Yahiko.
Yahiko was already speechless at this point.
"Do!"
The shuriken pierced the wealthy nobleman's thigh, causing him to howl in pain.
Shiba Kiyokawa did it on purpose; if he were killed so easily, the Iwagakure ninja would escape.
Then the Iwagakure Jonin with the missing arm arrived, coldly shoved the tax official aside, and quickly hoisted the nobleman's commissioner onto his back with his remaining hand.
The weight of the object nearly caused the heavily injured Iwagakure Jonin to stumble.
The tax official who was pushed to the ground was completely dumbfounded.
"What about me? I haven't gone up yet! Hey! I haven't gone up yet!"
But the Iwagakure Jonin didn't care about him at all; he picked up the person and immediately tried to run away.
Unfortunately, when he got up to continue his journey, several unfamiliar figures appeared in front of him.
Kenshiro, Masuda Kazuki, and Karasu, who, after the Battle of the Wildfire, has developed some strange fetish and recently likes to fight shirtless with only a katana on his back.
Only then did the Iwagakure Jonin realize how irrational his decision to turn back and save people had been.
"You... are you the legendary Akatsuki organization?"
He asked in a dry voice, trying to buy himself a little more time.
His last remaining hope is his comrade, Kou, whom he was sent by the hunter to call for reinforcements at the beginning of the war.
Perhaps, once the other two squads arrive and launch an attack, everything will be alright! He comforted himself with this thought.
However, the conversation between the people in front of him quickly shattered his last illusions.
Shiba Kiyokawa asked, "Why did you show up ahead of time? Has the blockade over there been lifted?"
Kenjiro replied, "Yes, Nagato has already ended the battle. No one from Iwagakure survived, and all the bodies have been cleaned up."
We've determined that there's no longer any need to block that road.
"The Rinnegan is still incredibly powerful; it's killing even faster than our side," Shiba Kiyokawa thought to himself.
"What about Sister Nan?"
Three Iwagakure squads entered the country, and the three of them were assigned to each of them.
Shiba Kiyokawa said he would leave no one behind, and he meant it! In life and in business, one must be trustworthy.
This time it was Kazuki Masuda who replied, "Your ninja cat replied that they are still chasing them, but Tama has already caught the trail of the last person and promises not to let them escape."
"very good."
At this point, even if he couldn't understand many of the details, the Jonin from Iwagakure could clearly sense that they were finished, completely finished!
Why did it turn out like this? He didn't understand!
Before he could come up with any more ideas, Shiba Kiyokawa had already given the order.
"For this last one, try to catch him alive. Make the move!"
