Chapter 5 Shiba Kiyokawa-style High Efficiency
Faced with Konan's trembling eyes, Shiba Kiyokawa did not rush to take drastic measures to provoke her, but instead steadily consolidated his own image first.
He mouthed silently, "Don't be impulsive, Sister Xiaonan, calm down, I'm here."
Winning Xiao Nan over is not something that can be done overnight, so he was very patient and quietly built up some goodwill first.
Moreover, the current situation is far from safe, and rashly provoking Xiao Nan at this time would only put oneself in danger.
There's still a squad of Iwagakure ninja below.
These are not the "Iwagakure spies" he made up to take the blame for, but real ninjas from a major ninja village!
Sometimes things really do work out of the blue.
Just as Shiba Kiyokawa was considering the threat from Iwagakure, the Iwagakure ninja leading the team below suddenly looked up.
"Who?! Who's on the roof?!"
As the captain spoke, another older ninja in the team quickly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!"
A javelin, shaped like earth, shot swiftly towards the ceiling! Without the slightest hesitation!
Shiba Kiyokawa and Konan were forced to leave and appeared in the warehouse.
However, the next moment, white paper fluttered everywhere, and Xiao Nan immediately launched her counterattack.
"The Dance of Shikigami!"
Her body dispersed, fluttering like butterflies, transforming into dancing paper butterflies, which then gathered in the air into several paper javelins, shooting rapidly toward the Iwagakure captain leading the team!
The once arrogant hoarder, Ando, was so frightened that he dropped his pipe.
"What?! How can there be people?! Protect me! Protect me now!! Kill them all!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining Iwagakure ninja in the warehouse also sprang into action.
At this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had just landed, was even more glad that he hadn't rushed to use his persuasive skills to sway Minami's heart.
On the contrary, because of his subtle influence over the past few days, Xiao Nan even used some of her paper butterflies to protect him the moment she made her move.
Perhaps Konan herself didn't realize that Shiba Kiyokawa's importance in her heart had been rising steadily, making him the most important person in the organization after Yahiko and Nagato.
Shiba Kiyokawa, of course, would not waste this favor. He took full advantage of the environment while mixed in with the paper butterflies, and threw out a large number of his specially made paper shuriken.
Paper butterflies were fluttering all around, and the Iwagakure captain had just been repelled by the mysterious blue-haired girl with a paper javelin. The remaining Iwagakure ninjas immediately fell into a cognitive bias, subconsciously thinking that the paper shuriken thrown by Shiba Kiyokawa was something similar.
So he hastily dodged, not daring to take the hit head-on.
One of the Iwagakure ninja even loudly reminded his teammates.
"This guy also knows paper ninjutsu! Be careful!"
Little did they know that what Shiba Kiyokawa threw away was just ordinary paper.
After easily breaking through the enemy's encirclement with a large amount of waste paper, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately found a direction and quickly pounced on one of the enemies!
The man was probably a genin. When he saw Shiba Kiyokawa rushing towards him, a moment of panic flashed in his eyes. Instead of advancing, he retreated and quickly formed hand seals.
There was no aggressive intent in his eyes, and the hand seals he was forming were most likely not offensive ninjutsu. His gaze drifted to his side and behind him, but there was clearly nothing there.
Based on this information, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately made a deduction—
The other party is planning to use the Substitution Jutsu!
So he casually tossed out a shuriken, his attack being utterly perfunctory.
After confirming that the opponent was still forming hand seals, he immediately stopped, drew his sword, changed direction, and rushed to his side and rear!
"Bang!"
The sword struck the target, but after a flash of white smoke, the enemy was instantly turned into a wooden stake.
Everything went exactly as Shiba Kiyokawa had predicted!
The wooden stake with the shuriken stuck in it bounced twice after landing, making a crisp "thump-thump" sound.
However, at the same time the sound occurred, Shiba Kiyokawa had already swiftly changed direction and rushed to the front of the enemy who had just completed his displacement!
"Varied--?!"
The man's question, a mixture of doubt and horror, had barely uttered its first syllable when Shiba Kiyokawa ended his life with a single slash!
The older ninja, who had just unleashed the "Rock Pillar Spear" that pierced the ceiling, was horrified at the sight.
"Damn it! He's at least a Chunin! Don't face him alone!!"
He quickly stopped the remaining two young genin in the group, signaling them to regroup and not get separated, while he himself quickly crouched down and began forming hand seals.
This time he didn't call out Ju's name again, but that didn't stop Shiba Kiyokawa from making a quick and predictive response.
He leaped into the air and continued to throw out handfuls of paper shuriken.
Iwagakure's ninjutsu has always focused on Earth Release, and since the opponent has a crouching motion in preparation, it's always a good idea to get off the ground first.
Two Iwagakure genin were once again forced back by the waste paper shuriken, while Shiba Kiyokawa took the opportunity to jump onto the storage cabinet in the warehouse.
"Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!"
At this moment, the older ninja finally activated his technique, but Shiba Kiyokawa was no longer within his reach.
This technique was supposed to be launched suddenly from underground to pull the enemy underground, but the older Iwagakure ninja simply used it to make a displacement and quickly arrived at the position where Shiba Kiyokawa had just been standing.
Other than that, there were no other achievements.
At this moment, the older ninja was filled with vigilance.
Why can the opponent always see through our ninjutsu in advance? Just now, Yuta's Substitution Jutsu was one example, and so was my Decapitation Jutsu. Could it be... that he has a special eye technique?
Just as he was imagining things and being extremely vigilant, a young genin suddenly discovered the blind spot.
"Damn it! This is just ordinary paper! He's framing us!!"
After using it twice, Shiba Kiyokawa's "paper escape" was eventually exposed.
The genin who discovered the secret felt confident that he had seen through the enemy's trick. He immediately abandoned the teachings of the older ninja and leaped onto the storage cabinet as well, kunai in hand, heading straight for Shiba Kiyokawa!
Shiba Kiyokawa throws out a paper kunai again!
"A boring trick!"
The young man, without flinching or dodging, revealed a resolute look in his eyes.
But Shiba Kiyokazu couldn't help but start laughing.
"boom!!"
The next moment, a violent explosion rang out!
The older Iwagakure ninja stared in disbelief!
Another comrade has lost his life!
It's an explosive tag!
Shiba Kiyokawa hid an explosive tag inside a paper kunai.
Previously, when he asked Sister Xiao Nan for advice on throwing paper shuriken, he learned a trick to hide explosive tags in paper props.
If you draw lines and runes similar to detonators on each piece of paper, and then wrap them together and hide the flames, it will be difficult to tell the difference at a glance.
In particular, the fact that the first two shuriken thrown by Shiba Kiyokawa contained nothing further weakened the enemy's vigilance.
Such a treacherous tactic naturally earned the enemy's "high praise".
"Despicable Rain Ninja!"
But Shigeo Shiba wouldn't care about such a weak accusation.
Insidious? Despicable? As long as you can win, that's all that matters; he prefers to call it efficient!
After efficiently eliminating two genin, the last Iwagakure genin had temporarily lost his will to fight and retreated far away to the merchant Ando.
While seemingly protecting employers, they are actually avoiding war.
Shiba Kiyokawa then turned his attention to the older Iwagakure who had used Earth Release techniques twice in a row.
This person must be a Chunin, right?
This is a good opportunity for him to test his current strength.
