Chapter 25: Three Breaks in One Second

Shiba Kiyokawa quickly scanned the Sunagakure team.

There are four enemies in total. In addition to Ye Cang, there is also a foul-mouthed and arrogant puppeteer, a lonely man standing on the highest tree canopy posing, and a taciturn swordsman ninja who takes the initiative to go around to the side and surround them.

Unfortunately, reality is not a game, and the enemy will not mark their ninja level on their forehead.

Shiba Qinghe could only make a judgment based on some action details and personal intuition.

The man in the tree canopy has a lot of say, and it seems that he is quite powerful;
The strength of the Sand Ninjas surrounding the side cannot be seen, but their emotions seem to be the most stable, and their mentality is probably more calm.

Although the puppeteer opposite spoke arrogantly and acted domineeringly, his speed when he appeared just now was the slowest among the people in Sand Village. He was a typical weakling with a bad mouth.

With a slight turn of his eyes, Shiba Qinghe immediately selected a breakthrough target.

He first deliberately taunted loudly: “Ha! Sand Village, the last of the five major ninja villages, the broken-backed dog that was beaten by Konoha in every ninja war, dares to speak nonsense here?”

At the same time, he put one hand behind his back, avoiding the enemy’s sight, and secretly gestured to his teammates –

Keep your distance and focus on taking care of the puppeteer!

Shiba Qinghe’s taunting hit the pain point directly, and immediately broke the defense of the hot-tempered puppeteer Hong Wen.

“What did you say, little devil?!”

Their captain wanted to stop them, “Wait!”

Although the captain was arrogant, he knew in his heart that their most important mission was to get supplies and money. Fighting and killing were only means, not the end.

But the puppeteer was no longer able to listen at this time.

“How dare a mere Rain Ninja look down on us?! Are you worthy enough?”

The puppeteer immediately waved his hand, pulled the chakra thread, and controlled a humanoid puppet to pounce on Shiba Kiyokawa!
What a bad mentality. Shiba Kiyokawa laughed in his heart, but pretended to be defeated and jumped back.

“Don’t run!”

The puppeteer then started to chase after him, and in a blink of an eye he was at the front of the team.

While Shiba Kiyokawa was swinging his sword to block the various flying needles, thousand kimonos and shurikens shot from the puppets, he was calmly measuring the distance with his eyes.

Only when he saw his opponent stepping into the death line did he quickly stop and shouted, “Now!”

In an instant, sharp paper javelins fell from the sky; a huge earthworm summoned beast jumped out from the ground and locked the puppeteer; Crow Feather also cooperated by shooting lightning and drew his sword to rush towards the enemy!

All of Akatsuki’s men cooperated and fell down in an instant, like a dragnet that made it impossible for the puppeteer to escape!
For a moment, he seemed to have a vision of a huge word “death” coming towards him!

“What?! Save me, Captain! Canaan! Ye Cang! Save me!!”

The puppeteer’s screams broke.

The captain of the Sand Village team was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot!
He was just about to use the teleportation technique to rush over to the rescue, but suddenly several hidden paper butterflies flew out from the branches beside him and exploded one after another, delaying his movements.

This is naturally the work of Kongkong Xiaonan!
In the end, only Ye Cang, who was originally at the end of the team, caught up and managed to avoid the interference of several paper butterflies in an instant and passed his two useless teammates.

He was only one step away from rushing to the puppeteer and saving him.

However, just before she took this last step, a man with a knife appeared in front of her!

It’s Shiba Kiyokawa!
From the time they met until now, even though Ye Cang didn’t say a word, Shiba Qinghe’s attention has always been focused on her!
He swung his sword and forced Ye Cang back.

Then, as the opponent did two backflips to distance himself from him, Shiba Kiyokawa did not pursue him but chose to continue observing cautiously.

Seeing that a fireball next to Ye Cang changed its trajectory, he immediately dropped his sword and formed seals without hesitation!
Substitution!
Sure enough, the next moment, one of the fireballs floating behind Ye Cang’s head suddenly accelerated and flew in front of Shiba Kiyokawa in an instant!

“Bah!”

In an instant, the sound of water vapor evaporating violently was heard from Shiba Kiyokawa’s body, and his body turned into a charred corpse in an instant, followed by a “bang”.

Then turned into a wooden stake.

After Ye Cang distanced himself, he narrowed his eyes and showed a somewhat surprised expression.

“Very cautious, Rain Ninja.”

A normal ninja would not give up his substitution technique without hesitation in a situation that seemed to have an advantage. The cautious ninja Shiba Qinghe picked up the sword he had just dropped, and did not answer, but continued to stare at Ye Cang with full concentration.

Ye Cang’s famous skill “Scorching Release: Over-Evaporation” can evaporate all the water in the target’s body in an instant. It has amazing lethality to all carbon-based life forms, so he has to be cautious.

What’s even more difficult is that the original book does not provide a solution to this problem.

Because in the plot, Ye Cang was conquered by the mouth-to-mouth technique, and no one could crack his technique, so Shiba Qinghe couldn’t even copy his homework.

But fortunately, he is not the one who is anxious now.

Behind him, the puppeteer’s screams suddenly stopped, and it seemed that he was about to die.

What followed was the angry question from the Sunagakure captain, “Yakura, why didn’t you save people?!”

Hearing the lone Sand Ninja who was originally standing on a high place scolding Ye Cang in this way, Shiba Qinghe vaguely grasped something and showed a mocking smile.

“I see. Were you banished to the Land of Rain because you were ostracized? You pathetic hero, Miss Yekura.”

He deliberately did not lower his voice, and with the ninja’s five senses, it was loud enough for everyone on both sides to hear.

In an instant, the captain of Sunagakure was shocked and angry, while Ye Cang had a gloomy face.

After the Puppet Master, someone in the Sand Village team is starting to lose his temper again.

With just two sentences, she broke through the three-person defense. Shiba Qinghe’s ability to detect flaws showed that she was an experienced swordsman.

“That’s enough time for your lip service, Rain Ninja!”

As he spoke, Ye Cang pulled out a kunai, suddenly started it, and rushed towards Shiba Qinghe again!

The speed is a little faster than before!
This time Ye Cang was really angry!

“Shhhhh!”

Seeing this, Konan quickly threw a row of paper javelins to support Shiba Kiyokawa, but they were easily evaporated by a fireball thrown by Ye Cang.

Shiba Kiyokawa threw the knife and formed a seal.

“Clone Technique!”

The clone rushed forward with his head down, while the original body took the knife and retreated.

Before he finds a solution to the Burning Escape, he doesn’t dare to approach Ye Cang casually.

Ye Cang waved the two kunai in his hands and used sharp attacks to suppress Shiba Qinghe’s multiple clones at the same time.

At the same time, the remaining two fireballs around her surrounded her like floating cannons, operating on their own and automatically searching for enemies, assisting Ye Cang in continuously smashing Shiba Qinghe’s clones.

The scene looks very dangerous!
Seeing that Ye Cang was about to clear out this wave of clones in less than two seconds and reach Shiba Qinghe, the solution to the Scorch Release still seemed far away.

Is it really impossible to handle it?
Zhiba Qinghe’s mind was working at high speed. He fought Ye Cang cautiously twice with a knife. He did not dare to fight head-on and kept retreating, keeping his attention on the two terrible fireballs.

Ye Cang’s anger was still burning.

“Heh, your sword is far inferior to your mouth. Is that all you can do, little Rain Ninja?”

In anger, Ye Cang, who had been silent, also began to mock.

It’s a pity that the lethality is far from Shiba Kiyokawa’s previous three breaks in one second.

Shiba Kiyokawa remains calm!

Impatience solves nothing.

Besides, they have already taken advantage of the other side, so it is not them who should be anxious, angry, or defensive now.

He is still observing attentively and thinking hard!
How can carbon-based life break through the rapid dehydration of burning escape and over-steaming?

Until – he noticed that the last two fireballs lingering around Ye Cang finally became dim after attacking many times, and were about to disappear.

At this moment, Ye Cang’s attack slowed down and he put his hands behind his back!
In an instant, Shiba Qinghe’s eyes lit up and his gaze suddenly became sharp!
He realized that the key to cracking the code had finally appeared!
