Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 203 Oniichiro's Battle Sightseeing

When Kiichiro sneaked into the village, he saw corpses lying on the ground in various dead states, and the burning houses began to collapse.

With the help of his shadow clones, Oniichiro quickly found his target.

He found Shuli.

After observing the target for a while, Kiichiro devised an attack plan.

The first shadow clone transformed into the appearance of Itakura Ko, attracting the target's attention from the front.

The second shadow clone used Earth Release to lurk underground, waiting for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

The third shadow clone had explosive tags attached to his body, so that if the first and second shadow clones' attacks didn't go smoothly, he could go up and perish together with the enemy.

Oni Ichiro's main body remained in a safe position, showing no intention of making a move. Only after his shadow clones failed did he decide whether to take action himself based on the strength displayed by the enemy.

Although the target has an ordinary middle-aged face, he would definitely be a minor character in anime.

However, since Oniichiro himself doesn't look like an anime protagonist, playing a minor role isn't 100% safe, so it's best to be careful.

Let's get started.

Kiichiro nodded to his shadow clones and gave them the order.

The first shadow clone transformed into Itakura Ko and walked over from the street corner.

Juri killed the last survivor around him, carelessly discarded the body, and when she saw Ko Itakura approaching, she silently turned to look at him without saying a word.

"The mission is almost complete, let's leave."

Because he knew Itakura Ko very well, his shadow clone acted flawlessly, and he could naturally start a conversation even without knowing the other person's name.

Juri ignored Itakura Ko and remained quietly in place, looking at him calmly.

After finishing speaking, the shadow clone turned around and walked out of the village as if leading the way for Juri.

Juri stood still for two or three seconds before taking a step and following behind the shadow clone.

"What a cautious fellow."

The shadow clone listened to the footsteps behind it, silently muttered a complaint, and then silently counted in its mind.

Five, four, three, two, one.

When the count reached one, the shadow clone drew a short sword, turned around, and rushed towards the tree behind him.

When itakura Ko suddenly attacked her, Juri's pupils only trembled slightly, but she did not show much surprise.

He jumped backward, simultaneously reaching his right hand into his ninja tool pouch, preparing to create distance before launching a counterattack.

At this moment, the second shadow clone burst out of the ground and appeared right in the path that Juri was taking when he retreated.

The second shadow clone thrusts forward with a short sword, aiming at the enemy's back!

The two were only a meter or two apart, and Shuli had no time to change direction.

In an instant, Juri slammed into the short sword, which sliced ​​through flesh with a silky smooth motion and pierced straight through his chest.

Weeds?

What dripped from the tree's wound was not blood, but withered yellow weed fragments.

Could it be a clone?

That doesn't seem right. A clone that has suffered an attack of that magnitude should dissipate by now.

As expected, as a non-combat researcher, one must cultivate a cautious and timid personality to ensure safety!

Kiichiro, observing the battle, watched the epic fight with great interest.

It's pitiful, really. He works day and night for the team's research, and his greatest entertainment is training Ko Itakura and the others. So, he has to cherish this rare opportunity to "sightsee".

At that moment, the first shadow clone rushed in front of Juri and stabbed Juri in the chest with a short sword.

One after the other, Juri was pierced through the body by two short swords, her feet leaving the ground and she was suspended in mid-air by the swords.

At this moment, the two shadow clones also noticed the abnormality on Shuri's body and saw the small, scattered weeds.

They were taken aback. Just as they were about to make their next move, the clothes on Juri's chest and back suddenly tore apart, and an arm woven from weeds stretched out from each of them, grabbing the necks of the two shadow clones from the front and back.

With a rustling sound, weeds flowed up the two arms and directly into the shadow clone's neck.

The two shadow clones suffered fatal injuries and quickly dissipated.

Just then, the third shadow clone descended from the sky, wielding a short sword in both hands and thrusting it straight down, deeply penetrating the top of Juri's head.

Shuri was hit hard, her body slumped to one knee, and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.

However, no blood flowed from the pierced skull; instead, some grass clippings splattered out.

"There are no hand seals. This shouldn't be a ninjutsu, but rather a bloodline limit. Hehe, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. I can take it back to increase the number of samples."

Just as Kiichiro, who was watching the battle, was feeling a sense of joy, he suddenly slapped himself.

"What a spineless coward, still thinking about research now. I'm doomed. I'm not going to get used to living like a groundhog. What a tragedy."

While Kiichiro was wallowing in self-pity, Juri had already launched her counterattack.

The two weed arms that killed the shadow clone quickly decomposed into thin, withered yellow grass.

The hay, like sharp swords, shot towards the third shadow clone.

The third shadow clone snorted and immediately ignited the explosive tags on its body.

Boom!

Amidst the explosions, the weeds burst into flames, transforming into tiny clusters of fire, like blooming crimson wings, swaying and falling from the sky.

After taking a moment to confirm the target's death, Oniichiro walked over.

After a quick check, Kiichiro found that the target's body was still ordinary flesh, and the weeds seemed to be growing out of the flesh and blood from the wounds.

After collecting some flesh and blood tissue, Oniichiro turned and left.

At this moment, one of the shadow clones found another target, and Kiichiro launched an attack using the same method.

As the shadow clone that had transformed into Itakura Ko approached Shizuru Maru, it heard him talking to himself.

"Everything has gone too smoothly since we entered the Land of Fire. We've been able to attack Konoha's weak points every time. Did the Mist Ninja get information about Konoha? No wonder Ao is so confident."

Hmm, that makes sense. How come I didn't think of that?

Even the wisest person can make a mistake!

The shadow clone sighed inwardly, then proceeded with the process.

Shizuru was quite strong, especially skilled in Water Release ninjutsu, but unfortunately he still died at the hands of Kiichiro.

At that moment, Ko Itakura appeared behind Kiichiro.

Should we leave now?

Kiichiro thought for a moment and shook his head: "You can't just leave. You still need to go back and say goodbye to Mei Terumi, otherwise it will seem too heartless."

At this point, Kiichiro chuckled and turned to put his arm around Itakura Ko's shoulder.

"You should carefully craft your farewell words, and try to express that hazy, subtle love, as well as a faint sense of reluctance and sadness."

"Oh, and your eyes too. Practice your eyes. They should be as warm as spring sunshine and as deep as the ocean, so that she is completely captivated and can never escape."

Kou Itakura became more and more excited as he spoke, and then felt a little embarrassed and at a loss for words.

By the time they returned, the sunlight had pierced the night sky.

Kyosuke Uesugi opened the door.
