Ch. 32. A new way to use the [Substitution Technique: Displacement]. [1]

　　After leaving the orphanage, not far away, an ANBU blocked the way:

- "Chunin Mizuki, come with me, Sandaime wants to see you!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the dense forest on the side.

　　Mizuki looked startled.

　　We didn't meet at the Hokage Tower, but we met in the woods. Could it be that Sandaime wanted to kill me personally?

　　But this is not in line with Sandaime's behavior.

　　How could an old conspirator like Sandaime, who cherishes feathers so much and is so indecisive, kill the ninjas in the village himself before getting definite evidence!

He doesn't want fame anymore? Aren't you afraid that your position as Hokage will be unstable?

　　Mizuki:

- "We will act according to the opportunity. If Sandaime really takes action against me, then don't blame me for using detonating bombers."

　　The power of 500 explosive tags, even if the explosion cannot kill Sandaime, can still create an opportunity for Mizuki to escape.

　　He followed the ANBU in front and soon walked deep into the forest.

　　Water and wood eyes observe six directions, ears listen to all directions, and the mind is alert.

　　Suddenly, the ANBU in front suddenly took action. A kunai appeared in his hand without knowing when, and he turned around and slashed towards the side of Mizuki's face.

His attack speed is as fast as the wind.

　　When he saw him turn around, the attack was already in front of him.

　　Mizuki had been on guard for a long time. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and took half a step back at the critical moment.

　　Then he clearly saw the tip of the kunai passing in front of his eyes, only half a finger away from his eyes.

　　If he were a little slower, he would be blinded and sit there waiting to die.

　　Mizuki:

- "You wanna die!"

His eyes were cold, he was really here to kill him.

　　He took out 3 explosive tags and activated them directly.

A "hissing" sound sounded, and the explosive tags was about to explode.

　　Upon seeing this, the opponent immediately retreated, not wanting to be affected by the explosive tags.

　　Mizuki sneered, loosened his hand, the explosive tags fell, and the next moment, the shapeshifting was activated.

　　His and that ANBU's positions were instantly switched.

　　Then there was a "boom" sound, and the three explosive tags exploded at once. The ANBU had no time to react before being blown up beyond recognition.

　　[Transformation Technique] can also be used to actively attack.

　　The effect is surprisingly good.

Mizuki smiled:

- "[Transformation Technique] combined with the explosive tags is a tactic worth using."

　　But when he looked at the corpse on the ground, he frowned.

　　No blood!

　　Mizuki narrowed his eyes:

- "The [Dead Soul Technique] again?"

He was little annoyed.

　　He had no enmity with Yakushi Kabuto, so why did he want to kill him?

　　"Bah, bang, bang!"

There was a sound of clapping in the dense forest nearby, and then, another ANBU wearing a mask came out.

　　Mizuki asked:

- "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Fake ANBU, Subordinate of Orochimaru (Yakushi Kabuto):

- "It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I am one of the three ninjas and a subordinate of Lord Orochimaru."

- "As for attacking you, I just want to prove your worth and see if you are qualified to be Lord Orochimaru's subordinate."

- "Since you survived and demonstrated the extremely practical [Substitution Technique] ninjutsu, it shows that you are valuable enough to be used by Lord Orochimaru."

　　Mizuki didn't speak, just stared at the other person coldly.

　　He didn't make a move, because from the other person's figure and voice, Mizuki judged that the other person was not Yakushi Kabuto.

It should be another corpse controlled by Kabuto Yakushi. Even if he kills it by repeating his old tricks, it will be a waste of chakra.

　　He was paying attention to the surroundings, looking for Yakushi Kabuto's true form.

　　Yakushi Kabuto continued:

- "Sandaime wanted to kill you quickly, but you also know clearly that this time he sent you out of the village on a mission to kill you."

- "There is no place for you in Konoha."

- "The only way before you is escape. And Lord Orochimaru, who likes a talent like you, will accept you without reservation. Lord Orochimaru will give you everything you want, even eternal life."

- "As long as you promise to be loyal to Lord Orochimaru, then when you escape, there will be someone to support you, stop Konoha's pursuers, and make your escape successful."

- "What do you think of this proposal?"

　　Mizuki:

- "Sounds quite tempting, but I like to bask in the sun and don't like to stay in dark and humid underground caves all day long... Well, I found you!"

　　The next moment, the three explosive tags were lit at the same time, and Mizuki's eyes looked towards a tree 70 meters away.

　　On the tree, Medical-Nin Kabuto, who was hiding in the bushes, changed his expression greatly and raised his hand to form a seal.

He wants to use the [Substitute Technique].

　　But how could Mizuki let him get his wish? Before Yakushi Kabuto even completed a single seal, he had already been transformed and switched places with Mizuki.

　　When Mizuki reached the safety of the trees, Kabuto Yakushi had to face three explosive tags that were about to explode:

- "Hateful!"

- "What kind of underworld ninjutsu is this? It can be effective even from such a distance? And there was no warning when it was activated. I didn't even react, and I had already changed places with him."

Kabuto's face, shrouded in a cloak, looked very ugly.

　　Yakushi Kabuto:

- "It's too late to follow the body. It seems that this is the only way to do it."

- "[Medical Ninjutsu: Yin Healing Wound Destruction]."

　　Along with the activation of the ninjutsu, the explosive tags also exploded.

　　The bright light was accompanied by a violent explosion, and Yakushi Kabuto's body was blown away like tatters.

　　Mizuki sneered:

- "Hmph, you little bitch, if you dare to mess with me, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die."

But the next moment, he saw that Yakushi Kabuto, who had been blown away, stood up immediately after landing, and then quickly ran away into the depths of the forest. After a few leaps, he disappeared.

　　It's like he wasn't hurt.

　　Even Mizuki didn't see the other person's face clearly:

- "He's not dead, what a pity!"
