Chapter 243: Ninja VS Ninja!
A clear blue sky with scattered white clouds, a scorching Sun illuminating everything.
Suddenly.
Several white pillars of light mixed with colorful floating light descended from the Sky.
The entire process could only be described as fleeting.
It might have been more noticeable at night, but in broad daylight, it was truly silent.
"What... what's going on?"
"Where is this?"
Raizo, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and the others had just opened their eyes.
First, they saw an endless expanse of deep blue enter their Vision, realizing they seemed to be lying on the ground.
Had Lady Toki really sent them twenty years into the future?
But why was there such a huge Rainbow in the Sky?
Just as they were full of doubts and about to get up, they suddenly felt a heavy Pressure.
What was going on?
Then they heard Momonosuke and Hiyori crying out.
Raizo immediately increased his Physical Strength, staggering slightly as he ran over to help the two Children up.
"Highness, are you alright?"
The slightly older Momonosuke held his younger sister in fear, saying, "It's so uncomfortable, I can't breathe."
Raizo quickly released more Haki to cover the two of them.
"Indeed, the Gravity here is so strange, just walking is difficult!"
Nekomamushi walked over with heavy steps, his expression solemn as he spoke.
They could feel that although the Sunlight above was particularly scorching.
Both the fresh Air around them and the soil beneath their feet had obvious moisture.
It was likely that it had just rained last night.
Inuarashi's attention, however, was on the old ruins in front of them: "This seems to be Oden Castle, but..."
At the same time.
Raizo slowly walked to the edge of the Cliff, pulling one Child with each hand, but instantly froze when he looked at the scene of Hakumai Town below.
"What's wrong?"
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, who were also not very old, walked over curiously.
The next moment.
They also instantly turned to stone like the previous three, staring dumbfounded at the massive 'Hakumai Town' below the mountain.
Because the five of them often lived Inside the City of Oden Castle on the mountain, they were extremely Familiarize with the Scenery overlooking Hakumai Town.
In their impression, the scope of Hakumai Town was clear at a glance.
Outside the Torii that served as a boundary was an endless wasteland.
But now.
The bright red Torii wooden gate was still there.
But outside the gate stood rows of black-tiled Attics on a Scale no less than 'Oden Castle'.
And Street after Street filled with people coming and going filled their entire Vision.
From their perspective, they couldn't see any wilderness at all.
It was as if the entire Kuri Region had transformed into a large, antique, cherry blossom-filled Japanese-style City.
"Is this really Hakumai? Kuri?"
Nekomamushi muttered to himself in disbelief, his mouth agape.
If it weren't for the Mountain Peaks outside the Torii proving it, he would really have thought Lady Toki had sent them somewhere else.
"What's that? They're flying!"
At this moment, little Momonosuke noticed the anomaly in the Sky above them.
They saw flying objects bursting out from the white clouds, diving towards the distance at High Speed.
Immediately after, they saw many strange-shaped objects flying up from that direction in the distance, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"How could Kuri become like this?"
Raizo withdrew his Gaze.
He was more concerned about the Pavilion Castle in the center of the Urban Area that looked several times taller than Oden Castle.
Because what was hanging on it was no longer the Kozuki Clan or other Daimyo Family's Family Crest, but a Flag consisting of a cross connected to five Balls.
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh]
Suddenly, streaks of lightning-like Afterimages swept over at High Speed.
This naturally put Raizo on High Alert, but he was filled with regret, realizing he had been mesmerized by these huge changes.
"Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, each of you grab a Highness and run quickly, find a way to escape Wano Country!"
Raizo immediately shouted.
With a flip of his palms, eight cold, shimmering black Shuriken appeared between his fingers.
The Cat and Dog also knew it wasn't time for nonsense, and quickly picked up Momonosuke and Hiyori, ready to leave.
But the Speed of the newcomers far exceeded their imagination, surrounding them in an instant.
But they didn't attack immediately, which made the few of them feel surprised and uncertain.
"These people are also Ninjas!"
"Mimawarigumi?"
Raizo noticed these guys wearing White Masks, White Vests, and carrying Long Sabers on their backs.
Whether it was their way of moving or the aura about them, they had a strong Ninja Style.
"Go quickly!"
Suddenly, Raizo threw the eight Shuriken in his hands towards his surroundings.
Immediately after, he took out six blue Balls and smashed them onto the ground.
"Ninja Art: Smoke Release Technique!"
With several popping sounds.
A large amount of thick blue smoke enveloped the entire area.
"Go!"
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi saw this opportunity.
Each holding a Child, they were about to turn into Afterimages and dart into the nearby Forest.
Just as they moved, a Black Shadow flashed before their eyes, followed by a sharp pain in their abdomen.
The next moment, the entire person was sent flying back at an even faster Speed, groaning in pain.
"Damn it, my Body is too heavy..."
Nekomamushi, who rolled several times on the ground, complained angrily.
As for Raizo, after throwing the Shuriken.
With the intention of covering their retreat, without a word, he formed hand seals again and continuously unleashed various Ninjutsu.
"Ninja Art: Clone Technique!"
The next moment.
Over a dozen Manifestations identical to him appeared in the thick smoke.
As soon as they appeared, they scattered, and at the same time, they took out Shuriken and threw them.
"Ninja Art: Flower Shuriken!"
The Shuriken, scattered like falling flowers, combined with the smoke that obscured people's Vision.
Indeed slowed down the approach Speed of the Masked Ninjas.
Forcing them to use the Katana or Kunai in their hands to block back and forth.
However, Raizo's actions were not over yet.
Besides his self-created Ninjutsu, he himself was a Paramecia System Scroll-Scroll Fruit User!
"Scroll-Scroll Technique!"
Suddenly, two Scrolls were thrown out by him with both hands.
These Scrolls automatically extended and opened in Mid-air, wrapping around two Masked Ninjas like pythons.
[Bang——Bang——]
Raizo thought he had dealt with the two but was shocked to see that the people he had wrapped up suddenly exploded into a ball of White Smoke.
Immediately after, a Log appeared there.
"Is this Substitution Technique?"
"How is that possible! This Ninjutsu is something I just developed, I haven't taught it to anyone at all!"
Battles between Ninjas often happen in the blink of an eye.
Within these short few seconds, Raizo's Manifestations were successively blown up into White Smoke.
"Damn it!"
"What exactly is going on with the Gravity here!"
Seeing this Situation, Raizo.
Gritting his teeth, he directly took out his ultimate move.
With a flip of his Right Hand, a yellow Scroll instantly appeared, and he shouted: "Scroll-Scroll Technique: Earth Concealment!"
[Boom————]
As the Scroll was thrown by him into the High Altitude.
When the Scroll completely burst open.
A large amount of soil and stones surged out from the thick smoke, as if a mountain had collapsed, falling down overwhelmingly.
Honestly, the momentum was quite intimidating.
Raizo was also confident that he could block these Ninjas for a while.
He was about to turn around to Support Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.
But the next second.
His eyes suddenly widened to their Limit, looking in disbelief at the actions of a Masked Ninja in front of him.
He saw that person quickly form hand seals in front of him, then take a deep breath.
[Whoosh————]
When he opened his mouth again, he blew out a visible Tornado Whirlwind.
This Whirlwind rapidly expanded and in the blink of an eye blew the soil and rocks that hadn't landed yet back into the Sky.
The surging Gale swept up everything, blowing it all into the Forest behind.
Its Power was so Strong that even the overflowing Wind Force was enough to easily blow away all the thick blue smoke.
[Boom boom boom boom boom]
Raizo was completely stunned listening to the continuous roar of the soil and stones hitting the ground.
On the other side.
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi had just stood up, clutching their stomachs, and were horrified to find that the two Highnesses in their arms were gone.
Looking again, they saw that they had been tied up with ropes by the opponents and were crying loudly there!
"Momonosuke-sama!"
"Princess Hiyori!"
At this, the two Mink Tribe members completely bristled.
Streaks of constantly flashing Electro appeared on their bodies.
Before, they were worried about hurting the two Children, but now they had no scruples.
Although they would rather not have this kind of freedom
"Raizo of the Mist, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Momonosuke and Hiyori of the Kozuki Family, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Welcome to Wano Country twenty years later!"
Just as both sides were at loggerheads.
A hoarse voice sounded In the Court.
Raizo and the other two followed the voice but had their Gaze drawn by those Crimson Eyes.
It was actually the Masked Ninja who had just used Ninjutsu to blow away all the Sand and stones!
