"How naive!" Faced with this sudden attack, Xia Yan's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Do you really think I'm so stupid that I wouldn't even notice there's one less Chunin on the battlefield!?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yan not only did not dodge, but instead met the opponent's attack head-on and stepped forward.
At the same time, he circulated a small amount of chakra, using the strange power circulation method he learned from Tsunade to amplify the power of this level.
Boom!
After a loud bang, a large crater about one meter in diameter was created beneath Xia Yan's feet.
The pit was filled with cracks, like shattered glass.
Meanwhile, the soil beneath his feet was soaked with blood and gradually turned dark red.
Clearly, the grass ninja who was just underground is dead beyond any doubt.
And there's no need to even dig up the grave anymore.
Xia Yan provided a one-stop service, handling both the killing and the burial.
However, the pause in Xia Yan's attack created an opportunity for the other two Chunin present to attack.
"Earth Release·The Earth's Palms Together!"
"Turong Tulong Spear!"
As ninjas from a major ninja village, the two Iwagakure ninjas who have become Chunin will receive village rewards, even if they are not from any ninja clan, and will acquire some useful ninjutsu.
The two of them seized the opportunity during Xia Yan's attack and unleashed a ninjutsu combo that combined control and damage.
Suddenly, the ground on either side of Xia Yan's body trembled, and two walls rose up suddenly, like two clasped hands, clamping down on Xia Yan.
At the same time, cone-shaped clods of earth rose up beneath Xia Yan's feet, piercing towards his body like lances.
Furthermore, the standard position is extremely insidious, clearly intended to ensure childlessness.
Next second,
Trapped in place by the earth's embrace, Xia Yan's body was pierced by countless lances formed from mud, leaving behind bloody holes.
His face showed an extremely shocked expression, clearly not expecting to end up like this.
Chapter 145 The Ninja Killed by Explosive Tags
"finished……"
Seeing Xia Yan's gruesome death, resembling a honeycomb briquette, the Iwagakure Chunin who wielded the Earth Spear sighed with regret.
Meanwhile, Kusanosuke, who had been locked in combat with Natsuhiko, revealed a sorrowful look in his eyes.
The price Kusagakure paid to create an opportunity to kill Natsuhiko was far too high.
Not only did he lose a Chunin, but all three Genin he led were also killed by Natsuhiko.
Thinking of the three students who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy and who kept calling him "teacher," Kusanosuke shed a tear.
"Do you really want me to die? I'm so heartbroken..."
Upon hearing this voice, the Iwa ninja, the Kusanagi ninja, and the last remaining rogue ninja, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, all looked in terror toward the source of the sound.
Xia Yan, with a blackened face, was standing unharmed in the same spot.
Not only were the honeycomb briquettes intact, but even the clothes remained completely tidy.
If the real Xia Yan was behind him, then who was the person who was just pierced by the ninjutsu?!?
Thinking of this, they looked at the corpse still trapped between the two walls, as if they had just realized something.
As the chakra gradually dissipated, the earthen wall and the earthen spear turned back into soil and scattered across the earth.
Without the earthen wall to conceal it, the mangled corpse revealed its true form.
He was one of the three Kusagakure genin who protected Kawajiri Koji.
However, Xia Yan used the Substitution Jutsu before he could even unleash his ninjutsu.
Although Xia Yan maintained his appearance as a Jonin of Kumogakure using the Transformation Technique, he did so to prevent the veins around his eyes from bulging and arousing suspicion.
It did not utilize the farsightedness or X-ray vision abilities of the Byakugan.
However, his 360-degree unobstructed field of vision, which was fundamental to his white eyes, was still preserved.
He naturally saw everything the two Jonin from Iwagakure did.
Furthermore, they were able to determine the ninjutsu used by the other party by observing the hand seals they formed.
Using the incredible speed of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he subdued one of the genin and swapped him to his own position.
Because of their incredible speed, and because their vision was obscured by the earthen wall created by Earth Release: Earth Clash, they were only discovered now.
"Wow, that's a really gruesome death. Are you all this ruthless to your own people?"
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Xia Yan said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"You bastard!!!"
Kusanosuke, who was already in a very low mood, lost his mind instantly under Natsuhiko's mental attack. He picked up his tattered flag and prepared to fight Natsuhiko for another eight hundred rounds.
But before he could even make a move, Xia Yan interrupted him first.
"Don't get so excited yet. Haven't you noticed? You're way too slow!"
Xia Yan pointed to his stomach and said to them in a slightly regretful tone:
"I left something on each of you..."
"What?!?!"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, everyone subconsciously looked at their own abdomens.
On each person's stomach, a rectangular talisman had been pasted on at some point.
The talisman has a red border and mysterious incantations on its surface. In the center is a neat circle with the word "Explode" written in bright colors.
"This is!"
"Explosive tags!!!"
Hearing their panicked voices, Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly.
Just when everyone thought he had been killed by the combined ninjutsu of the Iwagakure Chunin and relaxed their guard, Natsuhiko secretly placed an explosive tag on the bodies of Kusagakure Chunin Kusanosuke, two Iwagakure Chunin, and the remaining wandering ninja.
They were all boldly and openly pasted on their bellies.
Unexpectedly, not a single one has been discovered in all this time.
He spoke up to warn them just as the detonation tags were about to be detonated.
Even if they manage to remove the detonator, there won't be enough time left for them to escape the blast radius.
"This is a parting gift."
"What's coming next might be very painful, so be prepared!"
"Come on, let me see you all panicking and crying!"
"No pain...it will be over in an instant!"
"Concentrate on one point and detonate continuously!"
Amidst Xia Yan's cryptic remarks, flames ignited on the detonating tag.
BOOM! ! !
After a loud explosion, smoke obscured the entire battlefield.
After the smoke cleared, only Xia Yan, Kawajiri Koji, and the Kusagakure genin who was suspected to be an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, dressed in tattered clothes, remained on the field.
"Did that genin abandon his mission target and run away during the chaos...?"
"How naive..."
Xia Yan shook his head helplessly.
"Has he forgotten how those two roaming ninja died when they first scouted the way..."
Before he could finish speaking, an explosion rang out.
The mangled body of the fleeing Kusagakure genin was sent flying high into the air by the force of the explosion, landing right in front of Kawajiri Koji.
This minister from the Land of Grass, who had made his fortune through business, was so frightened that he sat down on the ground on the spot.
"Look..."
"As expected, a weak village like Kusagakure is simply not trustworthy, don't you think—"
"Kawajiri Koji?"
Xia Yan walked up to the pot-bellied middle-aged man and looked down at him.
Although his face was expressionless, the surging killing intent emanating from him should have terrified an ordinary person like Kawajiri Koji so much that he wet his pants.
He knelt down in front of Xia Yan with a 'plop'.
"Lord of the Cloud Ninja! Please spare my worthless life! I'm willing to pay money to save it! I'll sever all ties with Iwagakure as soon as I return! I'll agree to any conditions you ask for, please spare my life no matter what!"
"Really? You'll grant me anything I want?"
"Yes! No matter the conditions, I will do my best to help you accomplish it!"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's question, Kawajiri Koji seemed to see a glimmer of hope and answered eagerly.
"Really? Then answer one question for me first..."
"Why did you suddenly and so decisively change your political stance? I'm quite curious about that."
Xia Yan looked at Kawajiri Koji with great interest.
He was genuinely curious, since switching political camps is a normal thing, but there was no need to make it public knowledge.
He even donated a large sum of valuable medical supplies out of his own pocket.
He has already gone all out.
