Ambush
Chapter 49 Ambush at the Hotel, Second Floor, Hallway.
The Land of Fire merchant was heading towards his room with a displeased expression. His entourage of servants and samurai cleared the path ahead and surrounded him from behind, protecting him and Nara Yan Shui in the center.
Someone in this damn Land of Rivers would definitely dare to sneak over and kill a rich man.
"Boss, we can be considered to have completed a B-Rank Mission," Yuan Wei said with a smile, seeming much more relaxed since the bidding was over.
Xia couldn't help but smile as well. A B-Rank Mission! She had only graduated for half a year, and she was already participating in and completing B-Rank Missions.
As long as she followed the routine of doing missions, she would have the opportunity to be promoted to Chunin next year, and then transfer to the hospital to become a Ninja Doctor. The first step of her life plan could be considered complete.
Now, she was firmly taking that first step.
"Don't let your guard down." Lin Ke's words poured cold water on the two of them. His expression was serious, not like he was joking.
Even Yan Shui Teacher said the battle was over, so how could—
Yuan Wei was thinking when suddenly his body felt weightless as he was pulled backward. He watched in horror as flames erupted in the corridor ahead, and a violent explosion destroyed the walls on both sides.
"Boom!"
The deafening sound made his ears ring. Smoke filled his vision, and fragmented, broken, and damaged pieces of corpses rolled around him.
"Exploding Tags..."
Lin Ke released the hands holding his two companions, quickly formed hand seals, and released—
Clone Jutsu + Transformation Jutsu.
After a brief moment of palpitations, Yuan Wei scrambled up from the ground, drew a Kunai, and entered a battle-ready state with a hint of nervousness on his face.
Xia and Lin Ke stood back-to-back, looking at the Rain Hidden Village ninjas coming from the narrow corridor behind them. "Boss, we're surrounded. They're from the Rain Hidden Village."
"The Konoha brats are really lucky," the scarred ninja who had challenged Lin Ke with his eyes in the rain walked out of the smoke, saying in a contemptuous tone, "But next, you won't be so lucky."
Yan Shui Teacher should be fine. I saw him use Body Flicker Technique to leave with the Land of Fire merchant. The fact that he hasn't returned means he's probably being held up... Taking care of an ordinary person with limited mobility while facing a strong enemy would be very troublesome...
Lin Ke thought quickly, tightening his grip on the Kunai slightly. "Quick battle, then go and support Yan Shui Teacher."
They not only had to survive, but also complete the mission as much as possible.
"Tch, brat, you're underestimating—" The scarred man had just spoken when he felt the sound of something cutting through the air below his crotch. His expression changed instantly, and he gathered Chakra to narrowly twist his body to avoid it, only to see a dark object floating up from the ground. It was this thing that had just tried to dig at his... indescribable area.
How insidious!
"Shh!" Several Shuriken flew through the air.
"Whoosh!" On the other side, Xia, who had undergone special training, had successfully unleashed a large fireball, directly forcing back the ninjas rushing from behind. Then, together with Yuan Wei, they charged forward through the still-hot air, engaging with the Rain Hidden Village ninjas rushing from behind.
"Swoosh!"
Lin Ke also followed closely behind the Shuriken, holding a Kunai and actively charging forward.
The scarred man raised his arm, using his arm guard to deflect the Shuriken with clangs, while his other hand took out a Kunai, preparing for close combat.
"Clang!" The moment the two Kunai collided, he felt confident. The Konoha brat had a big mouth, but his strength was only slightly stronger than an average Genin. He was definitely not his opponent.
Lin Ke's empty arm swung with his body, transforming into a long blade in the air, directly piercing the scarred man's neck.
"Splash!" The scarred man whose neck was pierced turned into a puddle of water.
Water Clone
Lin Ke thought, and a huge force came from behind him, sending his entire body flying out. He crashed into the ruins with a thud, kicking up dust.
The scarred man who kicked him away stood in place with a smug smile, staring at the shadow on the ground, and said strange words, "Surrender, brat."
Surrender...?
Lin Ke thought the opponent would attack again and again. He was ready to use Clone Jutsu to mislead them, then counterattack. Even the shadow was already in place on the ground, but what he got was such strange words.
Would the Akatsuki Organization recruit opponents? He flashed a question in his mind, but his body had already started moving.
Seeing him turn around and prepare to fight, the scarred man showed a disdainful expression on his face.
The technique/Bloodline Limit of turning his arm into a long blade was amazing, but the previous exchange was enough to prove that the opponent was just an ordinary Genin who was slightly stronger. As long as he paid attention to the strange technique, he could easily hold him back. There were so many of them, so victory was guaranteed.
Whether it was the shadow or the sudden transformation, it could only be used for sneak attacks. If it failed once, there would be no chance to threaten a ninja with even a little combat experience.
However, the next second, his eyes were opened—
The shadow stood up on the ground, and Lin Ke casually tore off his legs and threw them to the shadow. Then, the legs in the shadow's hands transformed into two gleaming long swords, blocking the center of the corridor.
The main body, sitting on the rubble, began to weave hand seals as if no one else was around.
[This is truly eye-opening…]
A somewhat indescribable expression appeared on the scarred man's face. No matter how many times someone had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by this bizarre scene.
Although he felt overwhelmed, he didn't waste any more words. He knew a little about the intel; if he let this guy unleash his 'jutsu'… it would be troublesome. He decisively chose to attack first.
[First Stand—]
Before the opponent could even reach halfway, Lin Ke completed the summoning of his Stand.
"Lululu~"
Countless dense, wriggling, silver-white little things emerged from his body, uttering strange sounds that no one could hear. These things looked like beans, without clear facial features, but with holes symbolizing eyes, mouths, and nostrils. Inside the mouths, as they made strange noises, one could even see dense rows of tiny teeth.
[Stand—Metal Stand]
[Lucky!]
Lin Ke had thought he would have to entangle with the small fries for a while, then summon a useful Stand to clear them out before joining the main battlefield. He didn't expect to hit the jackpot on the first try.
"Clang!" The shadow was wielding the two long swords impenetrably (referring to swinging them around), blocking some of the shuriken and kunai thrown to interfere. The next second, just as it was about to engage the scarred man in close combat, not only did the long swords vanish with a clang, but the shadow also melted back into the ground.
"Are you preparing to surrender?"
Amidst the scarred man's playful voice, Lin Ke stood up and strode forward.
"You—Giggle…"
The excessively close distance allowed the Stand that could manipulate all iron, Metal Stand, to easily control the iron within the scarred man's body, forming countless blades that tore apart the flesh of his throat and abdomen from the inside out, clattering onto the ground.
He knelt on the ground, fragments of flesh and internal organs falling in a drizzling rain, his consciousness fading into oblivion.
[How could this be…]
