Chapitre 167: 166- Threats Won't Work.
Renjiro immediately channelled his chakra, and a thick chain with a golden tinge manifested from his abdomen. Controlling the chain with his mind, Renjiro used it to whisk his teammates, including himself, by wrapping the chain around them to avoid the attacks coming their way. In an instant, they flickered a couple of meters away from the danger.
'What just happened?' Sama thought, feeling the tight grip of the chain holding her and Hiro in place next to Renjiro.
She had been preparing herself to counter the sudden attack by the mercenary who was striking at her, but she was suddenly whisked away.
'Did he always have this ability?' Sama wondered.
This was her first time seeing the adamantine chains from Renjiro, as she had only seen similar chains before from Kushina. Up until a few minutes ago, she thought Kushina was the only one with such an ability.
Instinctively, she turned to Hiro, hoping he might have some answers. Unfortunately for her, Hiro shared the same look of surprise that Sama had.
It was clear that Hiro also did not know what was going on. Right now, Hiro was experiencing a cocktail of emotions.
He was shocked by the sudden movement and the turn of events. He was thankful that Renjiro had helped him avoid the attack, but he was also a bit disappointed.
Not at Renjiro for not trusting him enough to tell him about this ability, but because he realized that Renjiro was not going all out back when they sparred.
'He did not use this ability during our spar. Did he get it after? No, we immediately began our missions with Minato-sama, so he had this ability when we were sparring. So he was holding back. But even if he used it, could I have countered it?' Hiro bitterly thought.
Hiro was more prideful than he would like to admit, and realizing that his friend was holding back during their spar hit his pride hard. Thankfully the urgency in their current situation helped him take his mind off it.
The truth was that after the incident with Fugaku and Daichi finding out about his first chakra seinou, Renjiro vowed to be more careful about his abilities.
Renjiro knew that with the way his second chakra seinou was versatile, it would be hard to keep it a secret, so he would only use it as a last resort. Their current situation was one of those occasions, especially since they were going against three Jounins.
'Scratch that, make it four,' Renjiro thought as he saw another mercenary flicker next to the three Jounins who had been trying to kill them a few moments ago.
Two Chunins against four Jounins was not exactly the ideal situation any of the chunins would want to find themselves in. The odds were completely against them without a doubt.
If this was the matchup from the beginning, then maybe the three Chunins might have stood a chance. But now, after fighting more than three hundred Chunins and Genins, their chances were as slim as ever. Renjiro knew that they were a bit exhausted, and their stamina waning.
'We need to buy more time, but how? Do I need to summon Uno? No, that would be wasting chakra that I really need.' Renjiro thought as he reached into his pouch and retrieved a couple of pills.
These were soldier pills that would enable a shinobi to quickly regenerate a part of their chakra. There was a limit to how many one could use in one sitting as well as how effective they could be.
Renjiro had rarely used them because of his larger-than-average chakra reserves, but he knew that he had to use them this time. He had to go all out against the Jounins, especially if he had to use his Adamantine Chains, as they were the most chakra-intensive ability he had in his arsenal.
Renjiro quickly swallowed two pills. The taste was more sour than he liked, but he quickly got over it as a warm feeling spread throughout his body.
He then passed the pills to Sama and Hiro, who were both looking at him with surprise. "Take them. We will need them to deal with these Jounins," Renjiro said, noticing that the two Chunins were a bit hesitant.
Sama took one of the pills, "What's the plan?" she asked, her voice steady despite the uncertainty in her eyes.
"We need to do our best to buy time until Minato-sama or Yano-sama arrive," Hiro said, swallowing his own pill and feeling the surge of energy that followed.
"I will take the three on the left while you two deal with the one on the right," Renjiro instructed, his eyes fixed on the four Jounins to ensure they didn't make any sudden moves.
"But Renji—" Sama began to protest, but was cut off by one of the mercenary Jounins.
"That is a unique ability you have there, boy, but you killed my subordinates, so it will be sad to see such an ability go to waste," the Jounin said, his tone cold and menacing.
'Is it done, Yasu?' Ige, the Jounin who had just spoken, asked in his mind.
Yasu, a squad member and their sensor, also had a special mental jutsu that could create a telepathic link, facilitating communication by connecting their minds.
It was similar to the Yamanaka clan techniques, with the only difference being that Yasu had to place seals on the three squad members to create the link.
'Yes, but I cannot sense anyone apart from those three Chunins and the bodies around us,' Yasu responded through their mental link.
Ige was immediately alarmed by this. Just after their sneak attack against the chunins failed, he had tasked Yasu with sensing if there were any chakra signatures around them, hoping to find other Jounins from their organization.
'What do you mean?' Yamada asked, a note of anger in his voice. 'Are you saying that Muraoka-sama and the rest just left the base?'
'Calm down Yamada. If Yasu cannot sense them nearby, they must be dead or missing. Either way, those Konoha Chunins must know something about this,' Norio added.
'Then so be it. Fan out. We only need one of the alive to tell us where Muraoka-sama and the rest are.' Ige remarked.
With that said, the four mercenary Jounins disappeared and Ige appeared in front of Renjiro, his speed astonishing.
"Where is Muraoka?" he demanded bending down to stare Renjiro in the eyes.
'He is fast!' Renjiro couldn't help but think.
"Why should I tell you anything?" Renjiro replied, his voice steady.
'I don't even know who Muraoka is.' Renjiro thought. He was a bit confused by the question posed to him, but he knew he had to think of a strategy to survive this encounter.
"Because if you don't, you and your friends won't live to see another day," Ige said as his eyes narrowed.
"Do you think threats will work on us?" Hiro interjected. He still held Sama and Hiro in place with his chains so he jumped back to create a distance between them and Ige.
Out of the corner eye, Renjiro saw someone move and launch a couple of kunais with explosive tags on them. Knowing that he needed to dodge this, Renjiro immediately created another chain that propelled him and his two teammates to the sky.
"I like these ones, They actually think that they can put up a fight," Ige remarked despite his voice dripping with disdain.
Renjiro made a hand sign and used the Majestic Destroyer Flame, exhaling fire down at both Ige and Yasu, the Kunoichi who launched the explosive tags at them. The Jutsu brought them a few seconds in the air which was something Renjiro planned.
"When we land, I will let go of you guys and we will move as planned," Renjiro instructed.
'Now that I think about it, where did the rest-' Renjiro could not complete the thought as suddenly, a piece of cloth on Kunai floated past them.
"What are they trying to do?" Hiro said as another cloth floated near them.
In no time, two more appeared and after a few seconds they exploded.
"Boom!!"
