This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 25 Disguise

"stop!"

A sharp shout pierced through the dense rain.

At the narrow alleyway ahead, six rain ninjas dressed in black raincoats and wearing breathing masks blocked the way.

They were well-equipped, accompanied by a hunting dog, and bore the insignia of Hanzo's personal guard.

"It's over."

Minato Namikaze's heart tightened suddenly, and he instinctively reached for his ninja tool pouch.

"Don't move."

Fugaku Uchiha quietly stopped him.

This usually arrogant young master of the Uchiha clan displayed an excellent ability to react on the spot.

At this moment, the three looked like three homeless orphans who had just crawled out of a garbage dump, trembling all over and with fear in their eyes.

"W-who are you?"

Fugaku Uchiha feigned being terrified, his voice trembling and his body even shaking slightly.

If the elders of the Uchiha clan saw this acting, they would probably be astonished.

Nishikawa Tetsuya was also surprised. "Your acting is so good, kid?"

The captain of the personal guard covered his nose in disgust, a natural aversion that someone who had lived in the upper class for many years felt towards the lower-class civilians.

"Have you seen three Konoha ninjas? About this tall, carrying bags." The captain gestured with his bitter-smelling kubi, his tone icy.

"I...I didn't see it."

Nishikawa Tetsu shrank behind Fugaku and said timidly with a regional accent, "Sir, we just want to find something to eat, please don't kill us."

"Get out! It stinks!"

The captain waved his hand impatiently, not even bothering to glance at the three mud-covered, emaciated refugees.

That kind of deep-seated humility and stench could never be faked by a proud Konoha ninja.

"Search over there!"

The captain kicked aside Nishikawa Tetsu, who was blocking their way, and led his team members past them in a hurry, chasing after them in another direction.

Nishikawa Tetsu, who was kicked down into the mud, did not get up to fight back. Instead, he rolled on the ground and groaned in pain.

Only after the footsteps faded into the distance did he slowly raise his head, and the timidity in his eyes vanished instantly.

"Walk."

The three of them didn't exchange any words, or even make eye contact. They simply lowered their heads and quickly scurried into another alley like frightened mice.

The hounds barked excitedly and, following the lingering scent, pounced back like black lightning.

……

The other end of the rainy alley.

The captain of the guards, who had run more than 100 meters, suddenly stopped.

"Captain? What's wrong? The hunting dogs seem to have lost their scent." A team member asked, pulling the restless dog along.

Something's not right.

The captain turned around abruptly, looking in the direction where the three refugees had disappeared, his eyes turning sinister.

"What's wrong? Aren't those just three refugees?"

"The smell is fine, the clothes are fine, even the fearful tone of voice is fine."

The captain narrowed his eyes, replaying the scene in his mind, then his pupils suddenly contracted:

"But...their feet."

"foot?"

"The roads here are all mud and moss. Ordinary people not only have to drag their feet when walking, but they also stumble and lose their balance."

The captain's voice turned icy cold:

"But those three people, although they pretended to stumble, made an incredibly soft sound with each step they took on the mud. That's an instinct only ninjas who undergo long-term chakra absorption training possess! They were subconsciously controlling the sound of their landing!"

"And that tallest one too."

The captain stared intently into the depths of the rain. "When I waved them away, his head was down, but his spine was straight. That subconscious arrogance is something no ordinary person could possess."

"Damn it! We've been tricked! Those three are Konoha's rats!"

"Chase them! Don't let any live!"

"Woof woof woof!!!"

At the captain's command, the hunting dogs, which had been sniffing around, seemed to receive an order and instantly turned around.

......

Deep in the alley.

"They're back."

Nishikawa Tetsu, who was walking briskly, suddenly stopped and pressed his ear against the wet wall.

"The footsteps were hurried, and the murderous aura was palpable. It seems our disguise has been exposed."

"I knew this method of pretending to be a beggar was unreliable."

Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly, reached out and ripped off the stinking rag he was wearing, revealing his muscular physique, which, though dirty, remained taut.

He cracked his neck, and the timidity in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by the arrogance and coldness characteristic of the Uchiha clan.

"Since I can't keep up the act anymore, I might as well stop pretending. Besides, I really didn't like the way that guy looked at me just now."

"There are six of them, all of them Hanzo's personal guards, and their strength is at least that of a Special Jonin."

Minato Namikaze also dropped his disguise, his golden hair flying in the rain, and he twirled the special kunai in his hand before gripping it tightly in the back.

"There's a dead end ahead, and pursuers are behind us."

Nishikawa Toru glanced at the terrain.

"It seems we have no choice but to deal with them here."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several whooshing sounds rang out.

Six dark figures, accompanied by a foul stench, landed instantly on the rooftops and ground at both ends of the alley, surrounding the three people.

"Running? Why did you stop running?"

The captain of the personal guard stood on high ground, looking down at the three of them with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"Not bad acting, you brats from Konoha. You almost fooled me."

"Unfortunately, the rat smell on you is impossible to wash off."

"mouse?"

Fugaku Uchiha slowly raised his head, his originally black pupils instantly turning scarlet, the three tomoe slowly rotating in the night.

"Are you talking about the Uchiha clan?"

Upon seeing those eyes, the captain of the personal guard paused for a moment, then grinned maliciously: "So you're from the Uchiha clan. No wonder you're so stubborn. Perfect, I'll take your eyes!"

"kill!"

At a command, the six Rain Ninja simultaneously formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"

Ninjutsu and fangs intertwined to form a deadly net, instantly enveloping the narrow alleyway.

"Minato, to the left! Che, back off!"

Fugaku Uchiha shouted, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, his chest bulging high.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Blue flames exploded in the rainy night, colliding violently with the oncoming water dragon, steam billowing everywhere.

Since we can't avoid it, let's fight!
