Chapter 41 Ninja Tool Master Mitokado Homura vs. Tsuchikage Onoki
But these rewards... poison resistance, poison knowledge, and medical ninjutsu?
It feels like it's full of some kind of implication, like I'm being asked to go from being a ruthless killing machine to a part-time medical ninja who can save lives in emergencies?
There's nothing wrong with that...
One of the greatest strengths of Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, was his ability to continuously release deadly poisons. Similarly, Chiyo, the puppeteer of Sunagakure, also coated her puppet weapons with a unique poison.
To participate in the high-level Kage-level battles in the Land of Rain, poison resistance is naturally a crucial factor.
Otherwise, with his current ordinary Jonin-level physique, he would probably be knocked out on the spot if he inhaled even a single breath of poison gas released by Hanzo.
With knowledge of poisons, one can then prepare antidotes and use them, along with medical ninjutsu, to save lives.
The two rewards given by the system are both of a very high level.
Now that I am a medical ninja, I estimate that I am no less powerful than Tsunade, and my influence on the battle will be quite significant.
Moreover, it not only has practical value, but it also greatly helps him achieve his goal of becoming Hokage.
Providing emergency assistance and helping those in distress has always been the best way to curry favor with others.
Medical ninjas are already rare, and those with high skill levels are even rarer; each one is a precious gem among ninjas.
With Tsunade gone, he is undoubtedly the number one medical ninjutsu user in Konoha.
With this special skill, Jiraiya and Mitokado Homura will probably have to ask him for help in the future.
...
At the speed of all Jonin, it would only take a day to travel from Konoha to the Land of Rain.
As they entered the Land of Rain, the rain intensified, and everyone donned straw hats and raincoats.
"We're almost there. Now that we've reached the Land of Rain, we might be ambushed at any moment.
Everyone, stay vigilant," Mitokado Homura ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
With Jiraiya injured, it's not hard to guess that Konoha would urgently send reinforcements.
And because they needed to get there as quickly as possible, the shortest, straight-line route would be easier to determine.
The enemy has likely set up an ambush along the route.
Although this group consisted of one Kage-level ninja and twenty Jonin, in principle, an ambush would be suicidal and nothing to fear.
However, no one who can become a Jonin would easily make such a basic mistake as being careless and underestimating their opponent, so everyone continued to remain vigilant as instructed.
They continued moving forward for a while longer...
"spread!"
Suddenly sensing something, the commander shouted and leaped to the side using the Body Flicker Technique!
"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"
Accompanied by an aged voice, an incomparably dazzling white beam of light descended from the sky!
The moment Souji spoke, everyone who was already on guard immediately jumped away with all their might!
However, three Jonin were a moment too slow to react and were thus enveloped by the white beam of light.
A loud bang.
All that remained was a huge crater, and the three Jonin... had vanished without a trace!
Even the Souji was shocked at this moment!
The Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release Laser Cannon!
Holy crap! I just got here! And they're already playing this high-stakes game?!
In the sky, a short old man with a distinctive large, round nose stood suspended in mid-air, stroking his long beard and looking down at the people of Konoha with ill intent.
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki!
"Only three were taken down? Not bad, not bad at all.
You reacted quickly. Your Konoha ninjas are as disciplined as ever!"
"Onoki...!"
Mitokado Homura looked up at Ōnoki in the sky, his expression extremely grim.
At this moment, Mitokado Homura had already discarded his outer garment, revealing a specially made battle suit adorned with multiple large sealing scrolls.
The other Jonin were also solemnly forming hand seals, ready to unleash powerful ninjutsu at any moment.
The renowned Tsuchikage was personally attacking them, putting immense pressure on everyone!
Especially seeing Onoki flying in the sky, even if they were Jonin, they couldn't launch their ninjutsu that high...
"Mitokado Homura, is it just you? Why didn't Sarutobi come by himself?"
Onoki looked down at Mitokado Homura and chuckled mockingly:
"First you sent two juniors, and now you're just a mediocre lieutenant like yourself.
Does Sarutobi look down on me?
Or are you getting more and more cowardly, too afraid to even leave Konoha?"
"You don't care about Sarutobi, but you're as arrogant and haughty as ever, Onoki!"
"Ninjutsu: Heavenly Ascension Dragon!"
Mitokado Homura let out a cold shout and threw a scroll. Under the control of the chakra, the scroll spiraled upwards into the sky.
Using the unfolded scroll as leverage, Mitokado Homura leaped to the top in a few bounds, standing on the scroll and facing Onoki.
"Oh?
Still trying to struggle?
It's no use, Mitokado.
Have you forgotten how badly you lost to me before? If Sarutobi hadn't saved you in time, you would be dead already!"
"The past is the past, the present is the present... Ninja Art: Nine-Headed Dragon!"
Mitokado Homura threw eight identical scrolls, which also unfurled vertically in a spiral shape, with the nine scrolls surrounding Onoki in the center.
"Manipulation Tool - Eight Directions Kill!"
Mitokado Homura ran swiftly around Onoki, stepping on the tops of the nine scrolls.
With each scroll he stepped on, a large number of ninja tools sealed within would pop out and shoot towards Onoki!
"Boring! All you can do is perform these juggling tricks?
You haven't improved at all, Mitokado!"
Onoki sneered, raised his hand, and fired another Dust Release laser cannon!
Where the white light passed, a scroll vanished silently, and a cloud of white smoke erupted from Mitokado's body on it, as he managed to dodge the attack with a substitution jutsu.
"It seems your survival skills have improved somewhat..." Onoki laughed.
"Quickly! Go and support Advisor Mitokado !"
The Jonin, looking anxious, stepped onto the spiral scroll and quickly ascended, intending to support Mitokado.
This was also one of Mitokado's objectives, allowing the Jonin to participate in this aerial battle.
With the speed of a Jonin, in the short time it took for Onoki and Mitokado to exchange blows, they had already followed the scroll to a high place and began to use ninjutsu to attack Onoki.
"What use is this to me, who can fly freely?"
With Mitokado, a Kage-level ninja, and more than ten Jonin, Onoki, though arrogant, dared not stay in place to take all the attacks head-on.
However, it was nothing to him; he simply flew further away and continued to attack with Dust Release.
However, at that moment...
"Shadow Clone Technique - 100-Hit Combo!"
Souji quickly formed hand seals, mobilized his chakra, and instantly conjured 100 shadow clone kunai at the kunai he threw at Onoki!
"Foolish junior, this level of skill... huh!?"
Originally, Onoki didn't take these things seriously, but when a large number of kunai approached, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis!
"Something's wrong with these Kunai!"
