Chapter 028: Jonin

Asahi grabbed the killed sand chunin, stuck two explosive tags on him, and then lifted him up to throw his corpse towards the sand chunin named Nemo. 

The sand ninja called Nemo was obviously an elite among chunin, with high vigilance. Although he had just stepped out of the smoke, he immediately noticed the 'extra-large weapon' thrown by Asahi, but instead of avoiding it rationally, he hurriedly caught it, because he was a ninja from the same village.

*Boom*

The explosive tag exploded, and the sand ninja corpse was directly blown apart and shattered to pieces. 

It was a pity though that it didn't kill the sand ninja called Nemo. 

However, as soon as he appeared on the scene, he killed a sand ninja. Asahi's mouth was slightly tilted, and he felt a little proud, but didn't dare to be careless. 

At this time there were eleven sand ninjas still on the field, at least half of them were Jonin, and Konoha was still at the losing end. After a while, two more people died on Konoha's side, and the situation was very unfavorable to Konoha's side. 

He at glanced at Ueno, his condition was very bad at the moment, his body was scarred, his face seemed extremely tense, his movements were inconsistent, and he also appeared to be poisoned. 

'A puppeteer is really not easy to deal with.' 

"Brat! I'm going to kill you!" Nemo glared at Asahi with an angry face, and then made hand seals with both hands and moved towards him with the intention to kill. 

[Wind Style ∙ Wind Cutter Jutsu] 

Asahi could almost see the wind blades in the air as they were shooting towards him. He made hand seals fast. 

[Earth Style ∙ Earth Shore Return] 

An earth wall rose from the ground blocking Nemo's jutsu. 

While the earth wall also blocked the enemy's field of vision, Asahi directly dived into the ground. His two hands grabbed Nemo's feet, and he was dragged into the ground without resistance, only his head was exposed from the ground. 

At the same time Asahi broke out. 

[Earth Style ∙ Headhunter Jutsu] 

An old trick but it does the job. 

In a battle between ninjas, it's better not to use the same jutsu several times in the face of the same enemy. That's of course, except the ninjutsu that could completely crush the enemy. 

Because once the enemy had seen your ninjutsu, they could find a way to counter it. Using it again, was likely to be taken advantage of and get used by one's enemy instead. 

In the original anime, even though Pain was for a time considered the strongest, after the information about his jutsu was learned by Konoha's side, he was almost destroyed just facing Naruto alone who learned Senjutsu. 

It is even more apparent with something like [Headhunter Jutsu], since the first time it was used, it was already cracked by the enemy. 

After getting out of the soil, Asahi stepped back directly, and didn't even take a good look at the enemy in the ground as he already knew that his ninjutsu would not have any effect at all. 

"Go to hell!" 

The silhouette of Nemo appeared from behind him, and a kunai pierced its way towards Asahi.

'I have to stake it all!' 

Clenching his teeth he used a ninjutsu. 

[Transformation Jutsu] 

With a bang, Asahi turned into a log, the kind used by the [Substitution Jutsu] in a burst of smoke before being stabbed by the kunai. 

Asahi, who had become a log, could clearly feel the pain of the kunai penetrating into his body, and he almost couldn't maintain the chakra for keeping [Transformation Jutsu]. Fortunately, Asahi resisted the pain, otherwise, once the [Transformation Jutsu] was lifted, all of this would have failed.

'Damn it, I will get back at you sooner or later,' Asahi thought resentfully. 

"Substitution Jutsu?" Nemo frowned, while looking vigilantly towards all directions in preparation for Asahi's sneak attack. 

*Puff* 

After lifting the [Transformation Jutsu], Asahi held a kunai in his hand, and in a very ruthless manner, directly cut through the throat of his opponent, and blood splattered to the ground. 

"What?!!" 

Asahi attacked too quickly, and Nemo only had time to release a short scream, and then there was no sound. Asahi could clearly see the anger and unwillingness before he fell.

'Very good, two dead is more than enough.' 

The battle result was very satisfactory, killing two sand ninjas in a row, this result was enough to be proud. But through the continuous use of ninjutsu, Asahi's chakra wasn't much left, and he was also injured, if he were to continue to fight, sooner or later he would die. 

*Shou* 

*Shou*

Two silhouettes appeared in front of Asahi, and there was even a Jonin among the two, apparently ready to put him to death. 

Fortunately, there were four Konoha ninjas catching up with them, so Asahi would not have to face these ninjas alone. 

"This looks good for me." Asahi sneered, then turned and ran. 

Asahi's move was not only seen by the ninjas of Sunagakure, but also by Konoha ninjas who came to support him. 

'What is the situation, why did he just run away?' 

Asahi was not sure if the two sand ninjas would chase him or not, but even if they don't chase, he still had to run quickly. 

He killed two sand ninjas in a row, his momentum was huge, the Sunagakure side must now want kill him, and the wound that was previously stabbed by Nemo also needed to be treated. 

"Huh?" 

"Chase him!" 

The two sand ninjas first glanced at each other, then looked at the four Konoha ninjas, and finally made a decision, which was to chase him.

When they first saw Asahi run away, they wondered if this was a trick from their enemies. After all, there were several ninjas on Konoha's side. Konoha was obviously dominant. It stands to reason that he should not run away. 

However, seeing the injuries on Asahi and the aggressive expressions of the Konoha ninjas behind, they quickly determined that this must not be a trap, otherwise how could they themselves not know. 

Although most of the ninjas on Konoha belong to the rank of cannon fodder, it turned out that sometimes even cannon fodder could also exert his value. 

One expression had the effect of assist. 

"They are coming here!"

Hidden in the dense woods, Keita opened his Byakugan, looking at Asahi running towards him, and the two chasing sand ninjas behind him and reminded Shinohara of his task. 

"Okay!" Shinohara nodded, then pulled out a kunai and placed it on a steel wire. After the enemy crossed a certain line, he cut off the steel wire. 

"Little brat, you killed two of my subordinates and you want to escape just like that?" The Jonin was fast and caught up with Asahi within a few moments, and then began to make hand seals with both hands. 

[Wind Style ∙ Air Bullets] 

Over hundreds of tiny wind blades spewed out of the jonin's mouth and attacked Asahi. 

[Earth Style ∙ Earth Shore Return] 

Asahi quickly used a jutsu to resist, but the ninjutsu on both sides was complete different on levels of strength. The wall made with earth-style ninjutsu was quickly cut into pieces by wind blades. 

Fortunately, with the earthen wall blocking the view, Asahi rapidly plunged into the ground and escaped.
