Chapter 37 Why do you want to die?
Kizaru tilted his head and looked a few times, but did not find anything different.
However, he just felt that something was wrong; this was an intuition he had developed from years of combat.
He wanted to see what exactly was going on.
He was already on guard, but outwardly he pretended to be unfazed.
"Sakura" slowly walked to Kizaru's side, and seeing Kizaru's lack of reaction, a sense of triumph flashed in her eyes.
"Go to hell!"
A Kunai appeared in her hand, and she swiftly slashed it towards Kizaru's abdomen!
At such a close distance, the opponent would definitely not be able to dodge!
At this moment, she seemed to already see the scene of this strangely dressed guy's belly ripped open, intestines spilling out, and blood splattering.
Swish!
The Kunai, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, cut through empty air. Kizaru's figure had already vanished from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was not far away, and with a wave of his hand,
kubikiribōchō appeared in his hand!
Then he quickly rushed towards "Sakura" and slashed down with the sword!
"Sakura's" face changed drastically. He raised his Kunai to block, but it was instantly cut in half!
Shocked, he exclaimed, "How can the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's kubikiribōchō be in your hands!"
Kizaru retracted his hand and glanced at the kubikiribōchō in his hand, sighing in his heart, 'Is this sword really that famous? No wonder Kakashistrongly opposed me taking this sword for myself!'
It seems it really might cause a conflict between the Hidden Mist and Konoha, the two great NinjaVillages!
Bang~!
That "Sakura" released the Transformation Technique; it was a fierce-looking Genin from Hidden Rain Village with a scar on his face!
Kizaru was speechless... Transformation Technique... right?
Just a mere Transformation Technique, and he had been confused for so long just now!
In this Ninja World, one really can't relax for a moment. A mere Transformation Technique can make an inexperienced person drop their guard.
He recalled that in the Pirate World, one of Shichibukai Crocodile's subordinates had a similar ability, which was quite troublesome.
And this Transformation Technique is the simplest Ninjutsu in this Ninja World, a standard for all Ninja!
Hiss~
Kizaru gasped: This world is actually so terrifying!
"Not talking, huh, Konoha brat? I'll kill you right now. Perfect, I also need a famous weapon like this!" The Hidden Rain Ninja said with a vicious face.
He had already considered Kizaru... his prey!
Kizaru stared at the guy with a curious expression, "Oh my, how scary~"
Kizaru said unhurriedly, his figure flashing like a yellow light. A kick, glowing with yellow light, struck the scarred Hidden Rain Ninja's body, sending him flying.
What a heavy kick!
This was the deepest feeling in the scarred Hidden Rain Ninja's heart. Even though he had mobilized a large amount of Chakra to defend the corresponding position the instant the opponent's foot struck him, he still felt his bones break and tendons snap.
Especially the Chakra in his body, it was completely depleted as a result.
The opponent's strength was truly terrifying!
Fortunately... he had been prepared!
A soldier pill was swallowed, and his Chakrarapidly recovered.
Then... he quickly drew the umbrella from his back and tossed it high into the air.
He quickly formed hand seals!
His movements at this moment were as smooth as flowing water.
He understood that he only had one chance at this moment, and he had to seize it tightly!
The opponent's speed was simply too fast. Originally, he thought the opponent was just a rookie Genin who had just graduated from Konoha Village's Ninja Academy, but now it seemed that was not the case at all!
Originally, in this situation, the best way was to turn around and flee quickly.
However, he knew that fleeing would definitely be suicide!
The opponent's unparalleled speed would definitely easily catch up to him if he ran!
Only... a desperate struggle!
Perhaps there was still... a glimmer of hope!
The umbrella had already flown into the air and began to spin!
He channeled Chakra with both hands and roared, "Die, Konoha brat, [Ninjutsu - Rain Thousand Needles]!"
The umbrella in the sky began to spin wildly, and dense senbon poured out of the umbrella, providing full-scale firepower coverage on Kizaru's position!
"No matter how fast you are, under this blanket attack, you won't survive! You're simply no match!"
The scarred Hidden Rain Ninja was smug.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind his head, "You talk a big game, but... is that all?"
The scarred Hidden Rain Ninja, indeed a person rich in combat experience, no matter how shocked, how unbelievable, or how curious he felt, he suppressed his instincts with his will and quickly dashed forward!
When the opponent's voice inexplicably appeared behind his head, turning around in surprise to look would be suicide!
He had seen too many such examples.
And he had escaped death many times by relying on this method of handling things!
"Oh~, quite clever, aren't you? Too bad you ran into me!" Kizaru's voice was like a shadow, constantly circling in the Hidden Rain Ninja's ears.
He deliberately controlled his speed, staying right behind the scarred Hidden Rain Ninja.
His voice, like a demonic melody, constantly sounded about a foot away from the Hidden Rain Ninja.
He wanted to create a sense of pressure.
He wanted to see... under this pressure, how long this Hidden Rain Ninja, who had always spoken arrogantly, could last!
And the Hidden Rain Ninja, who was constantly rushing forward, was now filled with disbelief!
He felt terror for the first time!
He suspected that the guy behind him was definitely not some rookie Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, but a long-established powerhouse!
He had already witnessed the opponent's speed, so he was already prepared for being caught by the opponent!
However, at this moment, the opponent's voice kept sounding at a fixed distance from him, and it was quite close!
The most terrifying thing was... at such a close distance, he didn't hear the slightest sound of footsteps!
Then, there was only one possibility, and that was... the opponent could fly!
Flying Ninjutsu, huh~
Such things are incredibly rare in the entire Ninja World. Those who master such Ninjutsu are, without exception, all powerful figures!
He instantly felt that his previous frantic provocations were completely suicidal!
"Eh?"
Kizaru was filled with curiosity.
He had been chattering in this guy's ear for so long, yet this guy still hadn't lost his fighting spirit; instead, his speed of fleeing forward increased.
Under such great psychological pressure, this guy's strength actually improved!
He didn't have a mental breakdown; instead, he became more courageous with each setback?
Kizaru gained a new understanding of the fighting will in this world.
A Ninja's battle, until the very last moment, until complete death, will never be given up!
Is this... what a Ninja is?
With this realization, Kizaru's obsession with killing this guy disappeared. "Quite resilient, aren't you? You may go, I won't kill you!"
Kizaru finished speaking, stopped pursuing, and turned to leave!
Whoosh!
The fleeing Hidden Rain Ninja suddenly turned around, and the Kunai in his hand pierced Kizarufrom behind, passing through his chest. "Naive fellow, being soft-hearted towards an enemy is being irresponsible to yourself! Go to hell and confess to Shinigami!"
Kizaru's face changed; his playful expression vanished, replaced by seriousness. "A valuable lesson, but isn't it good to be alive? Why do you insist on seeking death?"
