The third explosion

Staggering on his feet, Kuzu looked distantly at the picture of the explosion in front of him. It was incredibly difficult for him to realize that the opponent did not take him seriously for a second during the entire battle.

As soon as Samato took Heruo hostage, the bandit leader changed his tactics and immediately suppressed him by taking him hostage. Such a drastic change caused Kuzu, in addition to impotence and weakness, shame.

The changes he felt in the physical plane did not save the boy either. He felt not only tightness in his movements and heaviness of breathing, but also because of the long use of byakugan, his eyes began to ache.

Kuzu plunged into himself, thinking that perhaps previously often present insults from his comrades, there is a place to be and he is a truly untalented weakling.

Through languid thoughts, watching a rather strange picture of several explosions in front of him, Kuzu's gaze came across the leader of the bandits standing with his back to him.

It is not clear from where, but a rather joyful thought about the possibility flashed through the boy's mind. This thought was so strong that it instantly tore apart the darkness of his thoughts. Gloriously grasping the last straw of hope, Kuzu snatched out the kunai and channeling all his chakra, rushed to the goal that beckoned him so much.

...

Slowly, before Ramero's desperate gaze, it was seen how the seals attached to his subordinate ignited and exploded a moment later, causing several tongues of flame and gusts of wind that raised a cloud of dust. Surprisingly, the explosion itself sounded not only at Heruo, but also at the two children of Hyuga.

On the other hand, time has stopped for a man, and his mind is empty. He couldn't believe it was all true. Romero even thought that maybe someone had put such a vile genjutsu on him. Unfortunately, the man understood that the picture in front of him was the true face of this world. This put even more pressure on him and slowly, out of the void, fueled his anger.

This anger was further nurtured when this lull of thoughts, which did not last long, was interrupted by the feeling of something sharp sticking into the back and causing severe pain.

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, the man, gritting his teeth, looked around in incipient anger. He saw a rather pathetic picture of the boy Hyuga, barely standing on his feet and breathing heavily, sticking a kunai in his back. Throughout all this time, it was he who prevented Ramer from coming to the aid of Heruo, and Ramero did not dare to kill him only because of fears of interference by his elders.

Right now, he was very sorry about this decision and the slowly rising anger completely took over him. But the process did not stop there and mixed with thoughts that if not for the intervention of the boy in front of him, he would have been able to save Heruo, turned into a desire to kill.

Surprisingly, clenching his teeth, Romero, instead of rushing to attack, depicted pain on his face, after which his legs slanted, and the man fell to the ground. The boy, having also lost his footing and taken a few steps back, fell to his knees.

A gust of wind was heard, and next to the exhausted Kuzu and Romero lying on the ground, two ninjas from a side branch appeared, whose faces depicted concern. Surprisingly, this concern was not addressed to the Kuzu, but to something behind the slowly dissipating cloud of dust.

...

Kuzu, who was standing on his knees, was breathing heavily, he could barely restrain a strange feeling of loss of balance and pain in his eyes due to their long use.

But all these feelings and the two Hyuga, who did not pay attention to him, could not spoil Kuzu's joyful mood. It was he who killed the leader of the bandits and no one can argue with that. Finally, he has the opportunity to prove his worth.

But while he was in his joyful thoughts, a sharp gust of wind swept by, brought his attention. In the next moment, under the cry of several voices, Kuzu felt something sharp thrust into his chest, causing fleeting pain and plunging his consciousness into darkness.

...

He fell to the ground, in a rather comfortable position for lifting, Romero closed his eyes and held his breath, trying with all his might to portray a near-death state. These actions justified themselves and the Hyugas who appeared did not pay attention to him, which made the man even more happy, because the two were worried about something and looked carefully in the direction of the explosion.

Having frozen for a second, the man's eyes turned cold. Carefully squeezing the handle of the katana in his hand, he gathered all his strength, jumped up sharply and struck towards the nearest Hyuga. Although the members of the side branch were distracted, they were still quite experienced ninjas.

Reacting quickly, one of those on whom the attack was taking place jumped a little to the side, passing the blade past himself and immediately striking a palm to the side, counterattacked. From the blow, the men felt incredible pain. He could feel the shards of his ribs digging into his organs. More blood gushed out of his mouth. Succumbing to the force of the blow, Romero dropped the katana from his hands, flew back, falling to the ground next to the boy.

The second Hyuga, who was standing next to the child, was about to come closer to finish off the half-dead leader of the bandits, when he saw that, to his horror, he quickly folded the seals. With a crazy bloody smile on his face, ignoring the pain, Romero stood up and stretched out his hand covered with wind chakra forward, hit the boy's chest.

The white pupils of both Hugs widened and the nearest of them, disappearing from the spot, tried to stop the bandit at maximum speed. When the blade of the wind had already entered Kuzu's chest a little, Hyuga arrived with fear on his face, grabbed Ramero's wrist, stopped. The other, appearing next to the man, hit him with all his might in the head, forcing it to deviate back by ninety degrees and killing the bandit on the spot.

...

The moment Samato activated the explosive seals, he was not relaxing, he was ready to apply the substitution technique. When the explosive seals were engulfed in flames, the scientist quickly turned to the confused Satoshi and depicted horror on his face, shouted looking at the burning explosive seals folded in a bag.

- Fool…

When there was a moment left before the explosion, Samato fleetingly felt some movement and saw how a blurry silhouette appeared in front of him and tore off Satoshi's bag. After that, throwing it aside, he spun on the spot, starting to create a domed gust of chakra.

On the other hand, the bag, thrown back a couple of meters, exploded with a bang, creating a rather strong wave of flame that dispersed to the sides. Fortunately, this wave of flame and explosion energy, colliding with the forming and expanding flow of the circling chakra, was easily thrown back.

Watching these fleeting actions of Samato, inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. After that, he immediately turned his gaze to what was happening with Kuzu.

What passed into his vision disappointed the scientist a little. He saw the bandit hit the kneeling boy in the chest with his hand, but was instantly stopped by two Hyugas and killed.

Although the hand entered Kuzu's chest by a few centimeters and even almost reached the heart, but with good medical care and momentary help, this was no problem. Rather unpleasant thoughts immediately flashed through Samato's mind.

"What a blessing... I think I will give the best help. It's amazing that he's so lucky. It's a pity that this bandit leader died, I wouldn't mind getting a couple of wind techniques out of him."
