Naruto: Climbing Ranks to Rule the Ninja World! - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Facing Rock Shinobi Pursuers Alone

“Where’s the scroll of Iwagakure?”

After all the Anbu ninjas of Konoha had gathered together, Shihouin Naraku looked up at the members who had been cleaning up the battle area.

“Sir, it’s this scroll!”

All the Anbu ninjas present did not have the authority to open the scroll and look at it. This was something only Naraku was qualified to do.

“It’s a bit messy.”

“What on earth does Sunagakure want to buy from Iwagakure? So much gold dust…”

Naraku opened the scroll and examined it carefully. The supplies shown on the scroll did look very messy, with all sorts of things.

“Ninja tools, seeds, and food are…”

It can be seen from these supplies that Sunagakure is indeed short of resources and some of the supplies needed for daily life are also scarce.

In fact, in the entire ninja world, only the Land of Fire and Konohagakure are rich in resources and have no shortage of various materials. This is why everyone is unhappy with Konohagakure. If they could defeat it, other countries would have divided up the Land of Fire long ago.

“So that’s how it is…”

Naraku saw the most important material stored in the scroll, Chakra Metal!

Chakra metal is a very unique metal in the Hokage world. Weapons made of Chakra metal are not only very sharp and tough, but also can easily add Chakra to the weapons, and compared to ordinary ninja tools, the Chakra loss is less.

It is also because of this that various ninja tools made of Chakra metal are very expensive.

For example, Sarutobi Asuma, the son of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, uses a Chakra sword made of this special metal. Given his status, he only had to make a pair of smaller swords. You can imagine how scarce and expensive weapons made of this metal are.

“Iwagakure and Sunagakure are at a big loss now. The Chakra metal alone is enough to hurt them.”

Thinking of this, Naraku immediately put away the scroll, handed it to his subordinates, and then ordered: “Follow the original plan, retreat now!”

“yes!”

As the leader in charge of this mission, Naraku walked at the end as the rear guard, allowing the other members to leave and return to the village first.

Naraku is confident in his own ability, and what he has snatched is very precious, so he needs to send it back to the village quickly.

In fact, as long as we cross the border of the Fire Country, things will be much better. Generally, if there are pursuers, they will not easily step into the Fire Country.

Especially for large numbers of troops, it would be tantamount to declaring war directly.

Although after the battle, you should take the time to restore your physical strength and Chakra, and wait until you are in a better condition before retreating.

But Naraku directly ordered a retreat in order to obtain supplies, and the Anbu members must of course obey the order.

Watching his men retreating with the supplies, Naraku glanced around at the signs of fighting and then followed.

Of course, as the last person to retreat, he kept leaving traps behind him to prevent the arrival of pursuers.

……

Swish!

Shihouin Naraku dodged and stood on the top of a big tree in the forest, looking behind him.

It was already daybreak, and Naraku, who was the rear guard, did not encounter any pursuers.

“If the support personnel from the two ninja villages don’t show up, the supplies will enter the Land of Fire, and they will never be able to get them back.”

At normal speed, the Konoha Anbu ninjas who set out first are not far from the border of the Land of Fire, and they will be able to go back in an hour or two.

Just then—

“Boom boom boom…”

A huge explosion suddenly sounded, flames and smoke rose into the air in the distance, and the shock wave instantly spread out in a circle.

“Here it comes!”

“I don’t know if they are ninjas from Iwagakure or from Sunagakure!”

Naraku turned around and jumped off the top of the tree, running away immediately.

Due to time constraints, Naraku did not try to conceal his whereabouts too much. Any ninja who was good at tracking could easily find various traces. He just tried his best to lead people to his side.

……

rustle……

The sound of light footsteps is hidden among the chirping of insects and birds in the forest.

Two teams of Iwagakure ninjas walked silently in the forest, carefully paying attention to everything around them.

The Rock Shinobi leader at the head made a few simple gestures, and his subordinates behind him immediately stepped forward.

After the trap not long ago, they were now extremely cautious.

But time is also very important to them right now. If they take too long, their idea of ​​taking back the supplies will be completely ruined.

For the Iwagakure ninja, the materials originally intended to be traded to Sunagakure were of considerable value, especially since they contained Chakra metal.

Now they didn’t get the money and instead lost the supplies. This is absolutely intolerable.

Suddenly, in front of the Rock Shinobi leader, the ground at his feet suddenly rippled, and the ground seemed to have turned into water. Then a Rock Shinobi emerged from the ground and made a gesture to the leader.

Then the Rock Shinobi leader looked at the ninja beside him. The other party knelt on one knee, then put his hand on the ground. The Chakra in his body surged, and he began to sense the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, he was stunned, and then whispered a reminder:

“There was some movement just now, about one kilometer to the southeast.”

“Set off!”

“yes!”

……

Shihouin Naraku stood on a big tree, and the dense leaves completely covered him.

At this time he didn’t know how many ninjas were coming to chase him.

This also depends on which side of Sunagakure and Iwagakure reacts faster and which side values ​​its own things more.

What Naraku is most concerned about now is whether there are any sensory ninjas among the chasing ninjas. If so, when the battle breaks out again, the first thing he will kill is the sensory ninja.

“Um?”

Suddenly Naraku frowned. The forest, which was originally full of vitality with the chirping of insects and birds, suddenly became quiet. The murderous aura was so strong that even a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.

“Here it comes!”

“Earth Style: Earth Lung Spear!”

Naraku stood up and jumped up, leaving the spot in an instant!

“Bang, bang, bang…”

A large number of sharp rocks suddenly protruded from the ground, forming a spear-like shape and stabbing towards where Naraku was.

In an instant, a large number of tough trees were pierced by the sharp rock guns, and a large amount of stone and wood chips flew in the air.

“Earth Style Rock Pillar Gun!”

Naraku dodged the first Earth Style ninjutsu attack and just as he landed on the ground, a large number of spikes bloomed like flowers on the ground beneath his feet.

The spikes grew rapidly and suddenly pierced Naraku who had no time to dodge.

“Bang!”

Smoke rose, and Naraku turned into a wooden stake and disappeared.

“Body Replacement Technique? When was the seal made?”

The Iwagakure ninja that appeared searched for Naraku everywhere, and the perception ninja found him immediately, “Three hundred meters! Southwest!”

“Fire Style·Head hard!”

Under the shocked eyes of Rock Shinobi, Naraku did not make any hand seals at all, but raised his sword fingers and suddenly spat out a fireball from his mouth, which hit the center of Rock Shinobi’s formation.

The next second, the fireball that fell to the ground expanded instantly, and with a bang there was a terrifying explosion, and the rapid burning covered a large area around it.

Under the terrifying burning speed, Rock Shinobi didn’t even have time to dodge before three of them were covered by Fire Style and turned into ashes with screams.

A large area of ​​forest was destroyed in an instant!

This Fire Style attack was too fast and fierce. The terrifying release speed and explosive power caused Rock Shinobi to suffer a great loss.
