If light is that fast, why can't it reach the ninjas?

Chapter 70 If light is that fast, why can't it reach the ninjas?

This was the first time Uehara Naraku had seen Konan take action.

In the air, Xiao Nan was like a dancer gliding across the battlefield, with sheets of origami transforming into a rain of paper that shot out from the paper wings on her back!

Several Root ninjas were caught off guard and were instantly pierced through the body by the rain of paper, their blood splattering out!

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A mud wall rose up from the ground, hastily blocking the rain of paper.

However, the thickness of this earthen wall doesn't seem to be enough to withstand the paper rain for long; it might be destroyed by the paper rain in just a few seconds.

"Disperse!"

With a sharp shout, Shan Zhongfeng leaped aside!

The other ninjas followed his orders and each found a safe place. The next moment, the Earth Flow Wall's defense was completely destroyed by the Paper Rain!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough Technique!"

Two Root ninjas launched the first counterattack against Konan!

The combination of Wind Release and Fire Release ninjutsu unleashed a raging inferno that shot skyward, forcing Konan to leap upwards to avoid the intense heat.

Yamanaka Fu glanced at Uehara and the others rushing towards them, then pointed at Konan in the air: "Squads 17, 18, and 20, come with me and take care of the enemies in the air. Squads 15 and 16, go deal with those brats!"

Without hesitation, the Konoha ninjas scattered and headed towards their targets: "Yes, Captain!"

"Wind Release: Wind Blows Through the Blaze!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Combo Slash!"

One by one, the Root ninjas took turns unleashing ninjutsu. In just a few seconds, they relied on their numerical advantage in ninjutsu to briefly suppress Konan's offensive.

Seeing that the time was right, Yamanaka Fu clasped his hands together and slowly aimed at Xiao Nan's figure, intending to use his family's secret technique, the Mind Transfer Technique, to finish her off.

While they were barely holding on, the two teams of ninjas on the other side who were responsible for dealing with Uehara Naraku were plunged into annihilation!

"Thunder Release: Wan Lei Tian Lao Yin!"

Uehara Naraku unleashed a storm of thunderclouds in his hands, activated his most refined skill, and charged headlong into the midst of the two Root ninja squads!

The two teams of ninja from Team 15 and Team 16 who were to confront Uehara Naraku dispersed to face his lightning release ninjutsu.

At first, they didn't care, only using substitution or clone techniques to resist the lightning attacks. One ninja who couldn't dodge in time was even struck by lightning and still looked down on its power.

"Don't worry, the spell's power is very small..."

The strong Root ninja had barely opened his mouth when another bolt of lightning struck him. He continued, "Don't worry, the power of the technique is very weak..."

Stab it!

The third bolt of lightning struck him!

The tall ninja instantly collapsed to the ground, his body stiff and unable to move!

The man who had been so arrogant was now powerless to resist, and could only let the lightning strike him repeatedly until he fell silent a few seconds later…

Everyone: "..."

What's going on?

Arrogance lasts only three seconds?

If the Root ninjas hadn't known their teammates wouldn't betray them, and hadn't personally experienced Uehara Naraku's lightning release ninjutsu, they might have been starting to suspect that guy was a spy...

Spreading false information on the battlefield is a crime punishable by death!

Especially this kind of crucial intelligence!

Never underestimate any enemy!

Standing beneath the thunderclouds and storm, Uehara Naraku looked down at the two groups of Konoha ninjas and chuckled as he continued, "Even a ninja as strong as me has never been careless when fighting you, so what makes you think you can underestimate me?"

What bizarre words!

However, the members of Konoha's Root organization didn't have time to argue with Uehara Naraku. They were still dodging the attacks of the Ten Thousand Lightning Prison and trying to find a way to escape their predicament.

"Earth Release: Heavenly Cover!"

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison!"

A huge, strange pot lid appeared out of nowhere above the heads of many Root ninjas, supported by several thick rock pillars, helping them to block the lightning attack!

"As expected of someone under Shimura Danzo, they're so adept at taking the blame..."

A smile played on Uehara's lips, but it vanished in an instant as he clasped his hands together, forming a beautiful hand seal: "Water Release: Roaring Waves!"

A towering wave swept in!

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A thick earthen wall suddenly rose up and blocked the waves!

The two Root ninja squads fought back and forth with Uehara Naraku, and they finally felt they had stabilized the situation in the face of Uehara Naraku's surprise attack.

However, that childish yet devilish voice rang in their ears again: "There's no dog head carved on the earthen wall... I'm definitely going to give it a bad review."

Boom!

The sound of the detonating tag exploding rang in my ears!

The once thick earthen wall began to crack inch by inch!

The towering waves immediately engulfed all the Root ninjas, and lightning struck them continuously, wiping out both teams of Root ninjas in an instant!

After the Root ninjas fell silent, the giant pot lid of the Heavenly Cover Technique landed with a thud on the ground, stirring up countless clumps of mud...

After defeating his enemies, Uehara Naraku began to check his system panel, where several mission progress had been updated.

Advanced mission: Kill ten official Jonin (3/10), reward unknown.

Side Quest: Eliminate a squad of Konoha Root members (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Skill "Silent Fear".

Silent Fear: Use chakra to create a nightmare and implant it into the enemy's brain, causing the enemy to experience the most terrifying nightmare of their life within 2 seconds. Consumes 60 chakra points. Cooldown time: 10 seconds.

Uehara Naraku was somewhat taken aback when he saw the skill of Silent Fear. Could it be that he had obtained an illusion control skill?

That's kind of strange...

Judging from appearances alone, this skill might inflict greater mental damage on enemies than Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi, and it has a wider range of applications and targets!

After all, Itachi Uchiha only knew what his younger brother was most afraid of. Therefore, his Tsukuyomi was only used to bully his brother and make him experience the night of the clan massacre again and again. When facing other people, Itachi Uchiha could only tie them to a cross and stab them with a knife...

But the unspoken fear that Uehara Naraku just experienced is like tearing open the deepest wound in a person's heart and rubbing salt into it!

Everyone has things they fear, right?

For example, Obito Uchiha's greatest fear was probably Rin Nohara's death? And Black Zetsu's greatest fear was probably being unable to save Kaguya Otsutsuki...

Uehara Naraku felt a little relieved. In the future, if any members of the Uchiha clan dared to use their Sharingan to release genjutsu against him, he would turn around and send them into a nightmare!

The skill "Silent Fear" isn't really useful in combat; it's mostly used for tormenting people...

Next up is the last mission that suddenly appeared.

The task font is even purple, indicating that this task is not simple.

Hidden Legacy Quest: If light is that fast, why can't it reach the ninjas? Name a correct ninja. (0/1)

This clue is clearly related to ninjas.

This was the first strange mission Uehara had ever encountered.

When Uehara Naraku saw that sentence, the first thing that came to mind was a similar sentence that Danzo had said: "You are Konoha bathed in sunlight, I am Root buried deep in darkness."

"Shimura Danzo!"

Uehara Naraku confidently uttered this name.

He was even prepared to accept the ninjutsu that Shimura Danzo was good at. Even if it wasn't Izanagi or the like, at least he should have received a set of wind-style ninjutsu.

The system did not respond.

Uehara Naraku was silent for a moment, then changed his approach and blurted out: "Zed, the Master of Shadows; Shen, the Eye of Twilight; a black sheep..."

When he mentioned the second name, the system panel provided a prompt.

Mission accomplished, hero's legacy begins.

Four skills appeared in the task list.

Ultimate Technique! Twilight Blade: Summons a chakra soul blade, which can be manipulated to attack, consuming 2 chakra points per second.

Ultimate Technique! Soul Protection: Activates a defensive barrier through the Soul Blade. Teammates within the barrier are immune to all damage for 2 seconds. Consumes 40% of the user's chakra. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

Ultimate Technique! Shadow Bind: Launches an unstoppable dash in a certain direction, consuming 150 chakra points, with a 15-second cooldown.

Mysterious Secret! Compassionate Salvation of Souls: Skill acquisition duplicated, already overwritten.

Please vote for me!

Uehara has finally managed to come up with a weapon for combat!

The original outline was to reward the Seven Ninja Swordsmen with the line "You fucking want to dance too?" after completing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen mission! For now, I'll just use Shen's Duskblade for the time being!
