Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: The Fruits of Half a Year of Secret Development

"There are quite a few enemies. If they insist on pursuing... they might very well ignore captain Itō's obstruction and choose to kill directly."

"Senior Itō is a captain. In the unit, your importance is greater than mine."

"I'll draw the enemies away... you guys take the two of them and leave quickly."

When Yubi and the other two saw the two Sand Ninja, the latter, along with the Rock Ninja, also noticed them.

Yubi quickly said a few words, then instantly accelerated. As the two Sand Ninja leaped and landed, he passed between them, bounced up, and headed straight for the Rock Ninja.

"Yubi!"

Itō's expression changed drastically.

It was clearly agreed that he would be the one to cover the rear. Yubi, as a Medical Ninja, actually stole his job.

However, anger aside, Itō could only comply. It was still unclear whether the Rock Ninja had reinforcements or if other enemies lurked nearby... He couldn't waste the opportunity Yubi had created.

Their objective was to save people.

Immediately, Itō and the other Sand scout Ninja supported their two injured comrades and quickly moved away.

During this, Itō glanced back at Yubi's retreating figure, his expression complex.

From Yubi's words just now, the reason for such a reckless move... was that in this junior's eyes, despite being highly regarded by the Village and being a Genius, he was not arrogant in the slightest.

Instead, considering the unit's perspective, in a situation where they might lose him... or a captain, he firmly chose himself.

Clearly, Shimizu sent Itō along precisely to protect Yubi.

Now... he had become the one being protected.

"This kid!"

Itō gritted his teeth... It was very likely that from the very beginning, Yubi never intended to follow his arrangements.

Itō decided to first escort the three to a sufficiently safe area, then immediately turn back to support Yubi.

Withdrawing his gaze, the four swiftly departed... *Snap*.

On the other side, Yubi jumped onto a tree, clasped his hands together, and with a forceful clap.

His eyes darted rapidly, tracking the approaching figures of the Rock Ninja.

"Huh?"

Seeing a young Sand Ninja recklessly putting himself in danger, trying to intercept them, the group of Rock Ninja also had their expressions change.

"It's him!"

"That... Yubi from the Sand."

A Rock Ninja closest to Yubi narrowed his eyes, a flicker of surprise crossing his gaze, and shouted loudly.

Then, he revealed a somewhat gleeful, ferocious grin.

Tales of this Yubi's exploits on the battlefield had long spread within the Rock Ninja Forces... him and the Genius Puppeteer, Sasori.

However, according to intelligence, wasn't this Yubi a Medical Ninja?

How dare he venture deep into their war zone's heartland and face a whole group of them alone, as if courting death?

"Kill him!"

The Rock Ninja's tone immediately became excited.

Based on his experience, the Sand Ninja were here for a rescue... but the other two had taken the Sand deserters and left first. This meant... aside from the remaining Yubi, there were no other Sand reinforcements nearby.

Although it was a bit puzzling why the Sand forces, given Yubi's importance to them, would let him undertake such a dangerous mission... but things had come to this, and there was no time for the Rock Ninja to ponder too much.

Since this Genius of the Hidden Sand Village had appeared before them.

This opportunity... must not be missed!

"That's right, it's me."

Yubi smiled slightly.

As his words fell, a sphere of blood appeared between the fingertips of his clapped palms.

Immediately, the next second... the blood shot out like a laser beam, extending into a nearly ten-zhang-long dazzling rainbow streak in mid-air.

The very tip of the bloody light was an incredibly sharp arrowhead.

"Piercing Blood: One Hundred Convergences!"

Yubi's gaze was icy as he murmured.

This was precisely a technique derived from Choso.

Its speed could rival the speed of sound... Although after conversion, it became a Bloodline Limit, its power was influenced by his Chakra and strength, but upon release, its effect was equally terrifying.

*Squelch!*

The first Rock Ninja who charged at him had his Physical Body instantly pierced, flesh fragments splattering from the hole in his abdomen.

A rigid, excited grin, thinking he could take Yubi down, was still frozen on this Rock Ninja's face.

After being instantly hit, the man's eyes flickered with an expression of disbelief.

The corners of Yubi's mouth curled, revealing his small white teeth.

As his clasped hands swung, the Sprayed bloody light, like a long whip lashing through the air, swept out in a crescent shape across a Domain of several tens of meters.

*Swish, swish, swish...* In an instant, those Rock Ninja who still wanted to surround him, their bodies leaping in mid-air, were cut in half by the flickering bloody light.

This scene made the pupils of some Rock Ninja, standing at higher points or having landed on the ground and dodged the fatal blow, contract sharply.

What ability was this?!

Not only the Rock Ninja, but the bloody light, slashing and sweeping with the movement of Yubi's arm, even directly cut down a large number of surrounding trees... the destructive power was astonishing!

For a moment, a large cloud of dust rose from the area. The roar of falling trees, the blood and corpses of the brutally killed Rock Ninja, intertwined into a suffocating scene.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven Rock Ninja had been taken out!

"Stop him!"

A Rock Ninja exclaimed in shock.

The bloody long light controlled by the youth was still churning... its speed incredibly fast.

Because the slender rainbow streak covered a wide area, making it difficult for them to get close for the moment.

Where the bloody light struck the ground, the earth's surface became as fragile as tofu, instantly covered with numerous cuts... *Boom, boom, boom!*

The tree Yubi stood on began to shake.

Several Rock Ninja performed Earth Release techniques capable of long-range attacks. Huge Earthen Spikes erupted from beneath him, thrusting upwards towards him.

Furthermore, two Rock Walls rose from the ground, one left and one right, slamming together to crush him.

However... Yubi stood on two pools of blood beneath his feet, actually levitating into the air, easily dodging the attacks.

But his Blood Release was indeed interrupted.

"Eight left..."

Yubi stood floating in the air, looking down from above at the few Rock Ninja on the ground with stunned expressions.

*Clang, clang, clang...* Someone threw Shuriken at him.

All were knocked down mid-flight by blood.

Yubi glanced in the direction Itō and the others had left, let out a light laugh at the Rock Ninja, and the blood beneath his feet, like two thrusters, propelled his body as it injection, carrying him flying into the distance.

"After him!"

The Rock Ninja Squad Leader, thinking he was trying to escape, shouted in a deep voice.

Not to mention this brat had killed their men, just based on Yubi's importance to the Sand, they absolutely could not let him leave.

Of course, before pursuing Yubi, they still needed to send the intelligence back so other Rock Ninja could quickly come to support... After dashing a distance and putting some space between himself and the pursuing Rock Ninja, Yubi Collapseed his ability.

He still needed to conserve his Chakra a bit.

In truth, he could easily take care of these people... The reason he lured them elsewhere was to better fabricate a 'lie'.

"Heh."

Yubi ran ahead, with the murderous intent Rock Ninja hot on his heels.

He glanced sideways out of the corner of his eye.

All along, the Rock Ninja weren't clear about his true abilities.

Based only on his battlefield intelligence and performance, they thought he was proficient in Medical Ninjutsu and had decent combat skills... Yubi had also intentionally hidden his methods. Although he had displayed some Blood Release Ninjutsu, the chaotic nature of the battlefield made it very difficult for the enemy to fully analyze it.

Besides... this kind of Bloodline Limit had never existed in the Ninja World before.

Over the past half year, although he focused mostly on healing on the battlefield, he had also killed quite a few people.

He had gained a considerable amount of Negative Experience Points.

Allowing him to also complete the configuration of the Curse Womb Effects of Eso and Choso.

Including some of Choso's techniques.

However, purchasing all the techniques of the Scarlet Blood Manipulation Technique required a very large sum of experience points.

Currently, Yubi hadn't saved up enough.

The negative experience point income from the past half year was mainly spent on Choso's Curse Womb Effect... the price was even more expensive than obtaining the Bloodline Limit like the Scarlet Blood Manipulation Technique.

Because Choso's Curse Womb Effect was somewhat Heaven-Defying for an ability like the Scarlet Blood Manipulation Technique.

However, this also brought a qualitative change to the power of Yubi's Blood Release.

With the Blessing of several Curse Womb Effects, his mastery of this Bloodline Limit ability had reached a new height.

Later, he just needed to purchase the other techniques of the Scarlet Blood Manipulation Technique.

The two sides chased for a distance. Seeing the Rock Ninja They wouldn't let go., determined to kill him.

Yubi looked at the surrounding environment, calculated the distance in his heart, and felt it was about right.

He immediately stopped, turned around, and faced the charging Rock Ninja squad.

He pulled out his ninja tool.

"Huh?"

The Rock Ninja Squad Leader, constantly observing Yubi's movements, saw the youth suddenly place a Musical Instrument to his lips.

He immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Be careful!"

He instinctively warned his teammates.
