Chapter 49 Main Mission 2: Sasuke vs. Ningci
The situation at hand was somewhat urgent, and Shingon did not have time to think about it. He left two shadow clones in Konoha Village, and the main body disguised himself, went to Zabuza's place outside the village, drove out the puppet car sent by Scorpion, and headed straight for the Sand Village.
He must stop the two of them in the Sand Village before tomorrow.
This was the first time Zhenyan had used the car since he got it. At first he didn't dare to invest too much chakra, for he was afraid that this car assembled from puppet parts would fall apart. However, the spiritual perception system kept reporting in his mind that the deviation rate was increasing. He estimated the time and could only speed up continuously.
As he invested more chakra, the speed of the car became faster and faster. Zhenyan felt that he was almost driving at the speed of a high-speed train, but apart from the occasional violent and irritating jolts, the structure of the car was surprisingly stable.
Zhenyan once again admired Scorpio's superb craftsmanship.
Zhenyan drove his Scorpio car at lightning speed, and it was already midnight when he entered the Kingdom of Wind.
Perhaps because it was born in the Sand Village in the Land of Wind, the car made by Scorpio drove more smoothly on the sand than on ordinary roads. Zhenyan asked the spiritual system to help with navigation, which increased the speed again.
In the hazy night, a cloud of dust suddenly rose in the vast desert. At first glance, the dust seemed to be driving away a passerby, but if you look closely, you will find that the flying dust was caused by the passerby.
[Host, the deviation rate is 81%...] Since the development of the main storyline, the inspiration system can be said to have experienced many ups and downs, but the highest deviation rate in the past was only 80%, and now the upper limit has been broken again.
【Yeah.】 Zhenyan simply agreed because he was concentrating on getting on with his journey.
The real speed of life and death, driving a puppet car, all the way from night to dawn.
【90%……】The inspiration system counts on the hour.
The Kingdom of Wind is to the west of the Kingdom of Fire, and Zhenyan was also driving westward. When the system finished counting on the hour, the rising sun behind him just peeked out from the edge of the desert, and warm orange light suddenly spread over from the horizon.
Shingo walked on the light, and when the system reported 96%, he finally saw the shadow of the Sand Village. He also saw two people outside the Sand Village who were preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to return to Konoha Village.
In a hurry, Zhenyan released chakra, and the car with full power suddenly jumped forward, then drifted and stopped in front of the two people.
Although the car stopped, the dust did not stop. Zhenyan looked through the rising dust at the two people who were stunned by his sudden appearance. He invited them, "Would you two like to enjoy the beautiful sunrise in the desert together?"
The dust settled, and Namikaze Minato saw who it was. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's you..."
At the beginning, Minato Namikaze had run into Mangon once in the Hidden Mist Village. At that time, Mangon was still dressed the same way, so he recognized him at a glance.
"You have taken control of the Sand Village again?" Namikaze Minato quickly connected the Mist Village that was once controlled by the Akatsuki organization to the current Sand Village.
The Sand Village?
Shingon didn't understand why Minato Namikaze asked this. He looked behind the two of them. Perhaps in order to avoid the people from the Sand Village, the two of them were some distance away from the Sand Village. From his perspective, a small village was suddenly located in the middle of the vast desert, looking like a mirage.
"Is your next target Konoha Village?" Jiraiya asked at this time.
"I just think the sunrise is beautiful right now, so I wanted to invite you two to watch it together." Zhenyan looked towards the horizon. The sun was rising, and the entire desert was coated with a layer of dazzling color.
"Stay and watch the sunrise." Zhenyan invited again.
The second time, Shingon used the hypnotic ability of mouth-to-mouth. His hypnotic ability is different from Shisui's Kotoamatsukami. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami can change people's thoughts unconsciously, while his mouth-to-mouth, unless he intentionally rewrites the memory of the hypnotized person, the hypnotized person will feel that his behavior is out of control.
For example, at this moment, although Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya looked towards the horizon at the same time because of Shingen's words, they realized that they were being controlled.
The first thing that came to Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya's mind was that they were under an illusion. The two experienced fighters raised their hands and formed hand seals almost instantly, saying one word: "Relieve!"
However, it was completely useless, and the two of them still stared uncontrollably at the sun on the horizon.
Shingon watched the two people's coordinated movements and suddenly remembered that staring at the sun all the time might be bad for the eyes, so he changed his words and said, "Let's just enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sand Village."
Namikaze Minato: “…………”
Jiraiya: “…………”
"Who are you?" Jiraiya asked Shinon behind him while staring at the Sand Village.
"I am a debt collector from the moon who upholds love and justice."
Namikaze Minato: “…………”
Jiraiya: “…………”
"What is your purpose? Is it to trap us here?" Minato Namikaze asked again.
Just now, the truth was revealed that they had changed their destination from watching the sunrise to watching the Sand Village. Although this was only a small change, it conveyed a message, that is, the other party should not be a cruel person, and they might be able to negotiate terms.
However, this time Zhenyan did not give any answer.
The reason why Shingon was silent was because when he and Itachi went to collect debts from the Tailed Beast together, Itachi had reminded him that his voice and the way he spoke could easily reveal his identity.
Shingon also thought it made sense. It was okay if he met a stranger, but it was indeed easy to be recognized if he met an acquaintance. So afterwards he asked Kakashi for advice and learned from Kakashi a method of using chakra to change the tone of voice.
As for the language style, Shingo himself didn't feel anything about it, he thought he was just speaking normally, but Itachi specifically emphasized that his language style was very recognizable.
Zhenyan himself was unaware of it and couldn't control it. In order not to be recognized by acquaintances, he could only speak as little as possible and be a deep person.
The truth stopped speaking, and the sun in the east began to climb higher from the horizon.
Zhenyan looked up at the sun and thought that although convertible sports cars were cool, they couldn't block the sun. This time when he went back, he would drive the car back to the Xiao Organization to see if he could ask Scorpion to add a roof.
"You kept us here just so that we can accompany you to see the Sand Village?" Jiraiya asked suddenly.
"Yeah." This time Zhenyan agreed.
"In that case, you shouldn't mind if I summon a toad to watch with you, right?" Jiraiya asked again.
Toad? Shingon suddenly remembered that when he first met Jiraiya, Jiraiya introduced himself as the Toad Sage. He was a little curious about this, so he nodded and agreed.
Shingon looked at Jiraiya, who bit his finger, wiped it on his palm, and slapped his palm on the ground, shouting, "Summoning Technique!"
A palm-sized toad was really summoned by spirits. The toad had white eyebrows and a small mustache, and was wearing small clothes. It looked very human. Based on Zhenyan's previous experience, he guessed that this toad was also a spirit.
As expected, Toad finally spoke: "Little Jiraiya, what do you want from me?"
"Fukasaku Sennin." Jiraiya's eyes were still looking at the Sand Village uncontrollably when he spoke, but he quietly held a note in his hand, "It's not convenient for me to leave now, so can you please enjoy the scenery of the Sand Village with me?"
"Little Jiraiya, what are you talking about, haha..." Fukasaku felt that Jiraiya's words were incoherent, and just as he opened his mouth, Jiraiya took the opportunity to throw the note into his mouth.
"Send back to Konoha." Jiraiya said the last sentence, and at the same time he formed a hand seal to cancel the summoning technique.
When deciding to pass the message back, one has already been prepared to be attacked by the truth, or even sacrificed.
Intelligence means life to a ninja. If the information he conveys can prevent Konoha from a turmoil, then his sacrifice is worth it.
Although Jiraiya was ready to sacrifice himself, the people behind him did not move at all...
Shingon really didn't expect Jiraiya to send a message suddenly, and by this time the Toad had already left, so he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.
Shingon looked up at the sky. When he left the two of them to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Sand Village together, the deviation rate dropped to 50%, which meant that his plan should be useful.
By this time, it was already mid-morning, and if Konoha Village's Chunin Exam went smoothly, perhaps both tournaments would have been completed. As long as he left the two of them here, even if Jiraiya sent some news back, it shouldn't have much of an impact.
What's more, his shadow clone is still in Konoha Village, and the shadow clone will ensure that all the fights are fought.
Shingo leaned back in the car and admired the beautiful scenery of the Sand Village with the other two.
"What exactly is your purpose?" Jiraiya was really confused. They trapped them, and watched him spread the news but they remained indifferent. He had never seen anyone behave so strangely before.
Shingon had just been fooled by Jiraiya once, so he was much more vigilant this time. He made up his mind not to say anything more. Letting a toad run away was nothing, but if Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique and ran away, all his efforts would be wasted.
On the other side, in Konoha Village far away in the Land of Fire, the tournament had already begun just as Managano had guessed, and the shadow clone left behind by Managano sat in the audience seats with the other spectators to watch the game.
The first match of the tournament is between Sasuke and Ningci.
One of them is from Uchiha and the other is from Hyuga.
The Uchiha and Hyuga families are the ones that possess the Sharingan and Byakugan blood limit respectively. Both families are influential families in Konoha Village and even in the entire ninja world.
However, the Uchiha clan has been "extinct" and Sasuke has become an orphan. Although the Hyuga family has not declined, Ningci was born in a branch family. In order to protect the Byakugan from being stolen by outsiders and to control the branch family, the main family has planted the Caged Bird Curse Seal on all members of the branch family.
In addition to having similar rough life experiences, Sasuke and Ningci are both gifted and have the reputation of being geniuses, so this duel can be said to be a evenly matched contest, and the audience on the scene is also looking forward to it.
At the beginning of the fight, Sasuke did not rashly attack at close range, because he had seen the fight between Ningci and Hinata in the previous preliminaries and knew that Ningci could use acupoint pressing to seal the opponent's chakra.
Sasuke opened his Sharingan and used his shuriken to conduct long-range exploration while observing.
Because of the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is very good at using the shuriken, and Sasuke has practiced hard in order to catch up with Itachi, and his shuriken level is far beyond that of other ninjas of the same age.
Ningci faced the shurikens thrown at him from all directions by Sasuke. He opened his Byakugan and used the Baguazhang ninjutsu he had learned for the first time.
Ningci released chakra and spun his body rapidly, forming a hemispherical chakra defense shield around him.
Baguazhang's defense of Kaitian and Gaara's sand armor are both known for their absolute defense, which can withstand attacks from any angle and rebound.
All the swords in Sasuke's hands were blown away.
The Hyuga clan leader sitting in the audience was very surprised when he saw the ninjutsu performed by Ningci on the stage, because Baguazhang Kaitian was a secret technique passed down within the Hyuga clan, and he did not expect that Ningci could actually comprehend it with his own talent.
This was the first time that Ning used Baguazhang to restore the heavens in an official occasion. Sasuke had not looked up this information before, so when he saw all the swords in his hands being bounced away, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
On the ring, Sasuke quickly adjusted his condition. This time he changed his attack method and began to form hand seals and use ninjutsu.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
On the other side, the Byakugan caught Sasuke making hand seals, so Ningci was prepared. When the huge fireball came, he avoided it with a spin and jump.
Seeing that his concentrated attack was dodged, Sasuke immediately followed up with an additional attack: "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"
Phoenix Fire emits multiple flames. The trajectory of the flames is controlled by the caster and can spread in all directions, making it difficult to completely dodge.
However, Ningji's Byakugan can see 360 degrees around him, and even attacks from behind can be captured by him. So when facing Sasuke's Phoenix Fire, he not only flexibly dodged it with physical skills, but also tried to attack Sasuke at close range.
Sasuke knew that he would be passive if Ningci got close to him, so he took out his shuriken again and dispersed all the shuriken before Ningci got close to him.
Seeing that it was the sword in his hand again, Ning used Bagua Zhang to restore the situation again.
The fight between the two seemed to have reached a stalemate at this moment.
Naruto in the contestant's booth couldn't help but shout, "Sasuke, beat him quickly!"
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, snorted, and quickly focused on the present.
This time when fighting with Ningci, Sasuke did not use the help of mouth-to-mouth, because Ningci was at the same level as him, and he wanted to defeat his opponent with his own strength.
Through previous tests and observations, Sasuke discovered that Ningci was unable to move when he used the Kaiten Defense.
Thinking of this, Sasuke threw out another wave of shurikens, and as expected, Ningci used Kaiten again.
However, Sasuke was different from the previous times. After throwing out the shuriken, he began to form hand seals. Soon, a sharp electric sound like the cry of a thousand birds rang out on the ring. The sound alerted the spectators in the audience, and everyone held their breath and focused on the match on the ring.
Sasuke used the Chidori that he had learned not long ago, and at this time a circle of flashing arcs of electricity was wrapped around his left hand.
Although Kaiten is an absolute defense, the lightning emitted by Chidori can electrocute the opponent as long as they get close. What's more, Chidori's penetrating power is also extraordinary. Sasuke wants to try whether Chidori can break through Kaiten.
Sasuke took the initiative to attack, and the two sides had a head-on collision. After this collision, only one person was left standing on the ring.
The examiner stepped forward, took a look at Ningci who had lost the ability to move due to electric shock, and announced the result of the first round of the ring match.
"I didn't expect to lose to you." Ningci lay on the ring, looking at the sky in front of him in a daze.
Ningci knew that Sasuke was a gifted newcomer, but he was also often said to be gifted, and he was a grade higher than Sasuke. He did not expect Sasuke to use Lightning Release Chidori, and there was a mutual restraint between ninjutsu of different attributes. He was negligent, but...
Ningci looked at a bird flapping its wings in the sky and spoke again: "This is fate."
The fate of each person is determined from the moment he is born, whether he is from the main family or the branch family; whether he has talent or not; whether his chakra attribute is earth or lightning that can overcome earth... Everything has been decided long ago and cannot be changed.
Sasuke paused as he was about to leave. He glanced at Ningci and said, "I don't believe in fate."
After saying that, he turned to the audience seats, where Shingon and Kakashi were sitting, and next to Kakashi was Ningci's mentor, Jonin Might Kai.
"If there is such a thing as fate, then your mentor would not be sitting with Kakashi at this moment."
Might Guy, who was once rejected by the ninja school and was judged to have no ninja talent, is now an elite jonin who can fight Kakashi on equal terms.
These are the contents of the Ninja Newspaper. After the newspaper was printed, Shingon showed it to Sasuke and Naruto.
Sasuke looked at Ningji again and said what he had said to him and Naruto when he took out the newspaper: "Read more books and newspapers. It is as important to enrich your brain as to exercise your muscles."
Ningci: “…………”
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and walked back to the players' booth coolly. !
