Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 72 Reinforcements?

"Tch...tch...you wretched...brat! Pfft..." Kaguya stood up as she spat out blood.

Although Kaguya used the Bone Pulse Exoskeleton at the last moment—a transformation ninjutsu that turns her entire skeletal structure into an exoskeleton—it was still too late…

Even if it wasn't too late, it couldn't withstand such an explosion. The bone armor that should have been completely covered was now half gone.

"Lady Kaguya, the distress signal has been sent out, we..." Shiokawa hurriedly tried to persuade Kaguya to delay.

At the same time, Akaishi and Ranmai also discovered that Minato's shadow clone had disappeared—it seems that the battle... or rather the "pursuit" had already begun at the base, and Minato had recovered his chakra.

"Shut up! You two mere brats... watch me... ugh..."

Kaguya coughed up blood as she pulled her own spine out of her mouth.

At this moment, Kaguya's actions began to become strange.

After the spine was finally removed, there were no more bones left in Kaguya's body.

It relies entirely on the exoskeleton and the cartilage at the joints to generate power. The hard bones outside the spine have been transformed into a powerful armor of bones, draped over the body, while the spine itself has become a weapon similar to a whip.

Although this was the first time that Chishi and Lanwu had actually seen the "Bone Vein Armor," they had heard about it before.

If Kaguya Issuke had taken things seriously from the start, Akaishi and Ranmai would have had no choice but to retreat.

"His spine has also been pulled out... He should have lost all sense of touch by now, relying entirely on his bones for perception and movement," Akaishi said to Lanwu.

Lan Wu nodded slightly—this was the Kaguya clan's bloodline limit, an inherent weakness.

Gara—gara—

"It's not a weakness now," Lan Wu said.

Kaguya, who was seriously injured, then used her skeleton to control her body and became as mobile as before!

"Die...!" Kaguya's voice came from her vocal cords.

Water Release: Water Whip!

Lan Wu also conjured a whip out of thin air, formed from water-style chakra and resembling flowing water, which lashed out at Kaguya's spinal whip.

Then, Lanwu tumbled and leaped behind Kaguya, her water whip still wrapped around her spine, pulling Kaguya and distorting her movements...

Even with her injuries too severe, Kaguya couldn't defeat Ranma in a one-on-one fight!

Just as Shiokawa was about to go up and help, he was met with those blood-red eyes again...

Although only one was visible at this moment, Shiokawa still nervously swallowed, his hand forming a fighting seal, constantly disrupting his chakra.

Akashi smiled slightly and said, "You've learned from your mistakes. In the Great Fire Dragon Technique, you were the only one who wasn't seriously injured, right?"

Indeed, when facing Akaishi, Shiokawa was different from the other Kirigakure members. He was quite cowardly and stayed in the back. Moreover, when his four companions were vaporized by "Water Burst Wave", he had already retreated, thus escaping a calamity.

"Shut up! You despicable Uchiha!" Shiokawa shouted, his voice cracking.

"But it seems you haven't confessed to your companions that you killed another one, have you?" Akaishi asked deliberately.

"Shut up!" Shiokawa shouted and rushed over, seemingly trying to stop Akaishi from continuing.

"Didn't you kill him because you were under a spell? If you tell the truth, everyone will understand," Akaishi said deliberately.

Just then, Shiokawa thrust his kunai at him. As it was about to strike, Akaishi slightly shifted his body to the side to dodge, and at the same time countered with a kick, sending him flying.

Despite Shiokawa's reckless physical attack, Akaishi remained calm and composed, even with only his right eye exposed, perfectly parrying the attack and continuing, "I see you didn't even take his body away. Is there some unspeakable reason?"

"This won't do! We're a legitimate ninja village; we should retrieve our comrades' bodies. What if someone gets our information?"

"Your Kirigakure should also have that, right? A ninjutsu that can detect images of the deceased before their death..."

"Don't worry, I've helped you get his body out."

This wasn't a lie; Chishi had indeed just gone to the "Bloodthirsty Star Iron" mine and found that the minerals had been completely extracted, but...

For some reason, the body wasn't taken away!

So Akaishi sealed it in a sealing scroll.

Under Akaishi's interference, Shiokawa attacked haphazardly, and Akaishi constantly parried and deflected his attacks, teasing him like a toy—not just to tease him, but Akaishi wanted to break down his psychological defenses so that he could use illusions to interrogate him about Kirigakure's information!

On the other side, the heavily injured Kaguya was also suppressed by Ranmai, and the effect of "first encounter kill" was fully demonstrated.

Stronger?

Even elite Jonin have countless examples of being caught off guard and suffering a humiliating defeat due to an unexpected ninjutsu.

Just as Akaishi seized the opportunity, preparing to severely injure Shiokawa and cast illusion on him again...

Water Release: Water Shark Bullet!

A water shark rushed in, and Akaishi quickly retreated. The water shark bomb exploded where Akaishi had been, and the impact of the water also pushed Shiokawa away.

A Kirigakure Jonin who looked to be around thirty years old, with spiky brown hair, arrived at the scene.

"As expected of Kirigakure, they are truly decisive." Akaishi looked at the Jonin he had never seen before and realized that he must be the "Ryu" that Minato had mentioned.

In other words, while Kusano was forcing back and pursuing Minato, Ryu was directly coming to Kaguya's aid. That means... there were at most three Chunin guarding the wounded. Akaishi alone was confident he could wipe them all out.

It has to be said that this choice was correct—sacrificing a few Chunin to rescue Kaguya, a powerful Jonin, was a worthwhile deal!

Despite Akaishi's mockery, Ryu remained unmoved, simply continuing to form hand seals: "Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!"

Compared to Kaguya, who relies on bloodline limit, Ryu's start is a proper Kirigakure opening.

but……

Spiritual communication!

Lan Wu immediately met up with Chi Shi and stood back to back. Then, she sensed another chakra reaction in the mist and guessed that another one had been summoned.

But what I didn't expect was...

The thick fog suddenly surged, and in the next instant, a "big bird" rose from the ground. It was the "Vermilion Bird Treasure" that carried Chi Shi and Lan Wu into the air.

After the large bird flew out of the mist, it flew directly towards the coast where the Fog Concealment Wound was located without saying a word!

"Damn it!" Upon seeing that his opponent also had a flying ninja beast, Liu immediately felt a pang of anxiety and quickly ran back.

Ryu was also worried that the kid from Konoha would directly kill him.

In the brutal war, the Hidden Mist ninjas become capable of deciding to "sacrifice their comrades," but they never want to "sacrifice their comrades in vain"!

When Ryu arrived, he saw that the three brats from Konoha were there. It seemed that the blond kid had shaken off Kusano and come back, but he didn't have time to make a move.

The next moment, Ryu also realized why they hadn't made a move—a large, mist-shrouded ship was sailing towards them on the sea!

Although it stopped outside the whirlpool area, Liu was still overjoyed—the waiting ship arrived a day earlier than expected.

Although we don't know who's on the ship, we can imagine that there's at least a small team led by a Jonin who could easily cross the sea to get here.

Akaishi and his two companions did indeed spot the large ship, which is why they hesitated to act. Shioya and Momochi, who remained behind, even fired signal flares to signal for help, but…

"Hahaha, I told you they were alright! Who knew what we'd see would be a distress signal from Kirigakure? Hahaha..."

The ship was indeed a large ship from Kirigakure, but gradually it became clear that the two people standing at the bow were two elite Jonin from Konoha: one with white spiky hair and the other with a round figure!
