“Recovery!”
In less than a second, ten months of lifespan were consumed.
Rinya’s depleted body felt like parched earth receiving rain; his dried-up meridians were replenished, and all his fatigue vanished!
Glancing at the system panel, only a pathetic two months of lifespan remained, and Rinya instantly lost his sense of security.
Life is too fragile!
I must hurry and hide to recover some health!
Rinya hunched over and silently snuck toward the edge of the battlefield.
Ahead, Senju Ken was suppressing an Iwagakure Jonin with a frenzied offensive.
The one being beaten was the very same Iwagakure Ninja who had previously launched a sneak attack with Earth Release.
“Letting you sneak attack me, you bastard! When I find an opportunity, I’ll definitely turn you into a luxury gift package!”
Rinya hid behind a tree and spat fiercely on the ground.
The other Iwagakure Jonin was also being forced into a steady retreat by the joint efforts of Sarutobi Takumi and the arriving Takagi.
With Jonin fighting like gods, a newbie like Rinya would just be courting death if he got involved; if he were even grazed by a major technique, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
His gaze locked onto the Iwagakure Chunin on the periphery who were besieging the Konoha Ninja.
With the observational power of his two-tomoe Sharingan, plus the hand-signless “Instant Earth Substitution,” dealing with these Chunin was like slicing vegetables.
Rinya crept into the blind spot of several Iwagakure Ninjas like a ghost in the dark forest and instantly formed hand signs.
“Wind Release: Wind Cutter!”
Three shots in a row!
Although it was an assassination Ninjutsu he had just learned, with the precise locking of the Sharingan, the invisible wind blades were like the scythe of the Shinigami, specifically targeting the most vulnerable necks!
On the battlefield, three Iwagakure Chunin who were preparing to form hand signs suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness at their necks.
Before they could even scream, the three of them clutched their spurting throats and collapsed into the mud in terror.
The remaining two Iwagakure Chunin were scared out of their wits!
They hadn’t even seen the enemy’s shadow, and their teammates had been instantly killed!
The two no longer cared about attacking; they scrambled to find cover, terrified that they would be the next to lose their heads.
How could the Konoha Chunin miss such an excellent opportunity?
They instantly turned the tables, surrounding the remaining Iwagakure Ninjas and launching a frenzied assault.
[Ding! Killed three Chunin, obtained 9 Plunder Points!]
Listening to the heavenly system notification in his mind, the corners of Rinya’s mouth curled up wildly.
Three freshly baked gift packages!
As expected, on the battlefield, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against!
Being a sneaky bastard is the only way to get rich!
Having tasted the sweetness, Rinya decisively formed hand signs and continued to hide in the shadows, harvesting kills frantically.
“Wind Release: Wind Cutter!”
Two invisible wind blades slashed past precisely.
Seizing the moment, Rinya easily took down two more Iwagakure Ninjas who were struggling against the Konoha Chunin.
[Ding! Killed 2 Chunin, obtained 6 Plunder Points!] Find the original chapter at g.com.
Listening to the beautiful mechanical sound in his mind, Rinya walked out from the shadows swaggeringly, preparing to open the blind boxes and loot the corpses.
Don’t let these two moves look effortless; Chunin are not that easy to kill.
These five Iwagakure Ninjas were already injured, and with the Konoha teammates pinning them down from the front, it gave Rinya the opportunity for a one-hit kill.
“Rinya! So it was you supporting from the shadows, nice work!”
Konoha Chunin Ueda Ryota looked at the emerging Rinya, full of astonishment, “Your newly learned Wind Release is already this proficient?”
When he saw the scarlet two-tomoe Sharingan in Rinya’s eyes, he instantly understood.
His eyes were filled with undisguised envy.
The Uchiha’s Bloodline Limit is simply unreasonable!
“Ryota, Koichi, Shinji, you three hurry and help the others. We should have a bit of an advantage now.”
Rinya commanded casually, “I used several Ninjutsu just now, my Chakra is bottomed out, I need to recover here.”
Rinya made up a lie and quickly dismissed the three Chunin.
With these five Iwagakure Chunin dead, the pressure on the Konoha side, which was previously at a disadvantage in numbers, was instantly reduced significantly.
“Alright! You hurry up and recover!”
Ueda Ryota greeted him and took his two teammates to pounce on other battle circles.
With the bystanders gone, Rinya immediately rubbed his hands and quickly looted the five corpses on the ground.
[Ding! Plunder successful! Obtained: Earth Release: Earth-Style Fish Transformation!]
[Obtained: 1 Chakra Unit!]
[Obtained: Two months of lifespan!]
[Obtained: 0.3 Physique!]
Looking at the pile of rewards, Rinya didn’t even have time to be happy.
Except for storing the lifespan in the system space as a trump card, the remaining Chakra and Physique were instantly absorbed!
On a meat-grinder battlefield, an extra bit of strength is an extra bit of capital for survival!
After the fusion, Rinya felt full of power, his state even better than before the battle!
He crept toward another battle circle, preparing to continue being a sneak.
…
On the other side of the battlefield.
Iwagakure’s Jonin Takeda was jumping around like a monkey, desperately dodging Senju Ken’s attacks, and deliberately leading Senju Ken away from the main battlefield.
“Iwagakure scum, can you only run for your lives like fleas? Die for me!”
Senju Ken roared, Chakra surged, and a powerful Super Strength punch smashed down.
Rumble—!
The violent force directly smashed a large hole in the ground.
Previously, surrounded by Konoha teammates, Senju Ken couldn’t let loose.
Now that he was lured to the edge, it was exactly what he wanted!
Senju Ken’s offensive instantly became violent, bombarding the Jonin Takeda relentlessly.
Takeda could only fend off the attacks in a sorry state, at risk of collapse at any time.
If it weren’t for the plan, he would have collapsed long ago.
The Iwagakure Leader Kurokawa, hiding in the shadows, had a face so gloomy it was about to drip water.
He never expected this elite Konoha squad to be so difficult to deal with.
It was one thing for Takeda to be suppressed, but on the other side, Jonin Matsui was also forced into a desperate situation by Takagi and Sarutobi Takumi!
The situation must be broken!
“You three, immediately go support Matsui! You must hold on!”
Kurokawa lowered his voice and gave a death order to the three elite Chunin beside him, “Wait until I slaughter this leading Jonin of the Senju Clan, then I will go support you!”
“Understood!” The three Iwagakure Ninjas did not hesitate, immediately using Earth Release: Earth-Style Fish Transformation, and quickly lurked toward Matsui’s direction.
Kurokawa withdrew his gaze, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages, and began to frantically refine Chakra.
He was going to use a finishing Earth Release technique specifically designed to counter taijutsu Ninjas to completely end Senju Ken!
…
[Ding! Killed three Chunin, obtained 9 Plunder Points!]
[Ding! Plunder successful! Obtained: 1.2 Chakra Units! 0.2 Physique!]
On the main battlefield, Rinya had silently harvested three more heads and looted three gift packages.
This elusive Wind Release assassination made both the surrounding Konoha and Iwagakure Ninjas dumbfounded.
The Konoha Chunin’s morale soared, while the Iwagakure Ninjas were all in danger, fearing they would have their throats slit by wind blades if they were not careful.
Rinya tasted the sweetness and was ready to continue.
Just then, the situation on the battlefield changed suddenly!
From the location where Takagi and Sarutobi Takumi were, three fierce attacks burst out from the ground without warning!
Although the two Konoha Jonin reacted extremely quickly and barely dodged the fatal wounds, they were still injured.
Immediately after, three elite Iwagakure Chunin broke through the ground and directly joined forces with the struggling Jonin Matsui.
The two-on-one crush was instantly turned into a war of attrition full of variables.
Before everyone could recover from this change, something happened to Senju Ken as well!
Senju Ken had just seized an opening, punched Jonin Takeda flying, and was preparing to press the attack.
Suddenly!
The flat ground on both sides of him rolled violently without warning, two hemispherical giant rock mountains rose from the ground, squeezing toward him with the momentum of a landslide!
Senju Ken had nowhere to dodge, could only roar, his arm muscles bulged, and he desperately propped up the terrifying rock walls pressing in from both sides.
Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!
In the distance, Rinya saw this familiar Ninjutsu hand sign, and his face instantly darkened.
This was the super-strong control Ninjutsu used to briefly suppress the Ten-Tails during the Fourth Ninja World War!
As long as the caster has enough Chakra, it is equivalent to crushing the enemy with the power of the earth!
