Chapter 72

Shinobi were very fast, especially in emergency situations.

In the blink of an eye, they had run several kilometers.

Pakura and some Jonny approached Erase, leaving the main force behind.

"This is no ordinary shinobi..."

Pakura frowned.

This is not the speed that an ordinary shinobi can have, although it is not clear which village he belongs to, but most likely he has the rank of a Junin!

This makes the situation more difficult, even if it's Junin Amegakure, he can quickly pass information to Konoha, completely disrupting their plan.

"The main group is staying here!"

"Yoshiki, Munai...follow me!"

A light flashed in Pakura's eyes, and she gave a firm command.

On the one hand, such a large group is not able to catch up with Jounin, on the other hand, the movement of such a large group can attract attention. If someone notices them, or a chased shinobi breaks into some village, the probability of information leakage will increase dramatically.

Thus, the best strategy is to pursue a small elite team, which will significantly reduce the probability of detection.

"There is!"

The Junin nodded and passed the command back, a large number of shinobi immediately stopped.

Pakura continued the chase with a small team.

Phew! Phew!!

As the chase continued, Pakura's team gradually caught up with Yeruashi, as the distance shortened to a certain extent, a chill flashed in the eyes of one of the Jounins.

"That's enough!"

"Doton! Wave of the earth!"

He quickly folded the seals and placed his hand on the ground.

Usually, the wet climate of the Rain Country reduces the effectiveness of Dotonjutsu, but there are exceptions like ninjutsu creating massive moving streams of earth, such an environment on the contrary will increase their power and range!

After releasing the jutsu, a large area of ground in front of him shook like a carpet, and Yeruashi tried to stabilize his position, causing his speed to drop dramatically.

"Die!"

The other shinobi without hesitation rushed forward, and quickly swung his short blade, about to pierce the back of Erase.

Phew!

Yeruashi, who had lost his balance due to the Earth Wave, tried to dodge this attack at the last moment, but his figure was still cut by the blade from his shoulder to his right side and split in two.

But no blood followed, a figure of Erase disappeared in a flash of white smoke.

Bunshin!

"Right!"

From behind came the cry of his comrades.

Without hesitation, Suna's shinobi swung the short blade sharply to the right, and in the next instant, it collided with the Kusanagi Blade clutched in Yeruashi's right hand.

Klang!

There was a loud collision sound of metal, a figure of Erase stepped back.

"A bit unusual, in the past I always used a short blade, it seems that this Kusanagi Blade can not change the length at the request of the owner..."

Yeruashi glanced at Kusanagi's Blade and folded the seals with his left hand, arcs of lightning enveloped the blade, and the sound of birds chirping rang out.

Phew! Phew! Phew!!

At the same time to Erase rushed three figures, holding him from three directions. None of them used ninjutsu, it seems that to avoid any mistakes and unnecessary noise, they decided to take advantage of the numerical advantage and quickly crush the enemy with taijutsu.

"Die!"

The three shinobi's eyes flashed cold.

When Yeruashi was pinned down from three directions and seemed bound to receive a heavy blow, an ephemeral gold watch appeared in the depths of his eyes, in the next instant, his figure moved with great speed and came out of the encirclement, deftly dodging the three blows.

Right after that.

His figure was enveloped in a silvery glow and crackling arcs of lightning, feeling a powerful and furious flash of chakra, Pakura and the rest of Suna's shinobi were shocked.

"Such a chakra...who are you?!"

Bakura cautiously looked at Erase.

Such powerful chakra fluctuations, not much weaker than hers, it's definitely not an ordinary and unknown Jounin, but Pakura didn't recognize Yeruashi, besides, he's too young!

"Jounin Konoha."

Yeruashi calmly replied and turned into an afterimage, a silver flash rushing towards one of Suna's Shinobi who had attacked him a moment earlier.

The shinobi's expression changed abruptly, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he could not have expected that Yeruashi, whom they were able to catch up with and even surround, would show such terrifying speed!

"...it's too late!"

Given this speed and distance, it was already too late to use substitution or flicker, he could only pour the chakra into the kunai and swing it sharply, meeting the silver flash.

Being Suna's Jongin, he had quite a high speed.

But.

From the point of view of Yeruashi, who was standing at four times the acceleration of time, this movement seemed extremely slow, he could clearly see the trajectory of kunai's movement.

The ability to accelerate the flow of time affects not only the physical speed, but it affects absolutely all processes occurring in the body, whether it is consciousness or vision, all this falls into the acceleration state, which means that from the point of view of Yeruashi, the surrounding world slows down four times!

What is this concept?!

Even between Jounin and Chuunin, there is no such gap.

Why is it difficult for even a Jounin to block even one of Yeruashi's strikes, and he can only rely on the most basic techniques for evasion to barely save a life? Because there is a gap not just in pure speed, but in the speed of the passage of time, it can be said that at this moment they see the world from different points of view!

Phew!!

A silvery light flashed.

Junin Suna's figure abruptly froze, terror and disbelief reflected in his eyes, blocking this blow, he did not expect that such a situation could arise.

He, a Jounin of one of the Great Villages, couldn't even withstand a single blow in the face of the other party's speed!

"Yoshiki!"

The Shinobi standing nearby exclaimed in shock.

They saw Yeruashi's figure flash with a silvery light and blur, and in the next instant, Yoshiki's figure froze motionlessly in place and split into two, spewing out a stream of blood!

"Damn it!"

"Him...I did it on purpose!"

Pakura narrowed her eyes and exclaimed as she watched the scene.

Looking at this speed, they should not have a chance to catch up with this guy, there is only one reason why they did it...the other party deliberately allowed this to happen!

"Sakoon! Vaporizing murder!"

She didn't hesitate to use her signature technique, the Improved Shakuton Genome formed by the fusion of Cato and Fuuton chakras!

Yeruashi, who was repenting in the silvery glow, tilted his head slightly and said, " Ah, that's why she seemed a little familiar to me from the beginning. It turns out that this is a fairly well-known personality, the Elite Junin Sunagakure, Shakuton no Pakura?"
