Chapitre 31: Troublesome Jutsu
"Ah!"
A ninja wearing a fox mask dashed toward Yato with a sword, filled with blinding rage and hatred. He roared, eager to kill the enemy before him immediately.
Yato remained expressionless under the mask. He discarded the damaged sword, pulled another sealed scroll, and retrieved a brand new sword, preparing to confront the enemy.
"Ninjutsu: Naraku-ken no Jutsu!"
But just as Yato raised his sword to strike, a Root ninja wearing a dog-head mask suddenly leaped out from behind the fox-masked ninja.
Yato instinctively glanced in that direction, only to realize that something was amiss. He tried to avert his gaze, but he was too late and was already trapped in an illusion. The surrounding scene changed dramatically within an instant.
Naraku-ken no Jutsu was a secret illusion technique that induced the enemy to perceive their greatest fears, attacking their psyche.
Riku sensed that something was awry and immediately shouted, "Yato..."
But Yato didn't respond to him, as his eyes remained blank. The situation was too dangerous for Yato. Riku wasn't concerned that Yato couldn't break free from the illusion, but rather he was concerned about what it required for him to do so. Yato was amidst many Root ninjas who were rushing to kill him, and taking the lead was the fox-masked ninja with a sword. If Yato was too slow, he would die. In mere seconds, the ninja sword could sever Yato's head from his body.
"Go to hell!"
As they got closer, the ninja with the fox mask could already see himself beheading the enemy mercilessly.
At this distance, even if the opponent could break the Naraku-ken no Jutsu, he wouldn't be able to dodge the sword strike unless he had some extraordinary ability.
He let out a heart-wrenching roar, holding the sword with both hands and slashing down mercilessly, aiming to cleave the enemy before him and avenge his fallen comrades.
"I will not die!"
Suddenly, Yato, who had been silent, recovered. He held the hilt of his knife with his right hand, tapped the ground lightly with the tip of the blade, and said coldly, "Gravity Knife: Chaos!"
The moment he spoke, an overwhelming force burst forth. The gravity around him intensified dramatically, creating a powerful shockwave that knocked the attacking ninjas off their feet and sent them crashing into their surroundings.
The ninja with the fox mask tried to resist but was unable to withstand the intense gravitational force. He was flung backward, his mask cracking from the impact.
"Impossible..." he muttered, struggling to get up but failing as the gravity kept him pinned.
Three gravity waves surrounded his body like rings, and then, without warning, he suddenly found himself rising toward the sky.
Like a puppet manipulated by strings, his every move was under the control of his opponent, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Why was this happening? How could the man in front of him effortlessly break the illusion and react so fast? Was he immune to illusions? How was that even possible?
Many questions ran through the Root ninja's head, but he couldn't find the reason behind their repeated failed attempts to take down Yato.
Meanwhile, Yato wasn't as calm as he looked. His face, hidden beneath the mask, was filled with solemnity, and cold sweat dripped down.
Whether it was the horrifying scene he witnessed during Naraku-ken no Jutsu or the recent attack, he deeply felt the fear of death.
If he hadn't reacted swiftly, using gravity to disrupt the flow of chakra and break the illusion, he would have died in that moment.
"I won't die here!"
He reversed his grip on the sword. Then he raised his head and mercilessly slashed toward his opponent's head.
Simultaneously, he activated his ability, causing the surrounding gravitational magnetic field to change once more. The fox-masked ninja, previously rising rapidly, was startled as he found himself quickly descending.
"Ah, if this keeps up, I'll die!"
He felt desperate as he realized his dire situation, but he was a trained Root ninja with years of experience, iron will, and resolve.
Knowing he would die, he released a burst of chakra, breaking the gravity rings binding him, and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. As he got closer to Yato, he slashed downward under the pressure of gravity, intending to perish with the enemy!
Observing this, Yato's eyes flashed with a cold light, his hair fluttering in the wind. He tightened his grip on the sword's hilt.
Clang!
In an instant, the two icy-cold ninja swords collided. Sparks flew, sword energy raged, and cracks formed on each other's masks.
However, the Root Ninja's slash carried less weight than Yato's gravity-infused sword.
Crack!
A cold light flashed, and the Root Ninja's sword was forcibly cleaved in two, breaking and shattering.
However, this was not the end. Yato's sword continued to move forward, slashing directly at the opponent's throat, seeking to end their life.
Swish!
The slash connected, and the Root ninja in mid-air had no means of resistance and was ruthlessly beheaded.
His mask fell off, revealing a shocked and unbelieving face. His last sight in this world was the blood spraying from his body and the god of death standing next to it.
The Root ninjas, not far away, stopped again. They halted their movements, and the boiling blood in their veins suddenly cooled as if ice water had been poured into them. Close combat was suicide; long-distance ninjutsu and weapons were rebounded; and even illusions could be broken in a second. How could such a monster be killed?
Looking at the mysterious, strong man in front of them, wearing a strange mask and covered in blood, even those accustomed to death scenes were slightly scared at this moment.
This was simply a god of death!
Snap!
Suddenly, Yato discarded the damaged ninja sword. Without hesitation, he activated the seal on his wrist and retrieved a new ninja sword.
Shimura Danzo, watching from a distance, gritted his teeth in frustration. "This ends now!" he roared, forming a series of seals with rapid precision. "Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
A massive, swirling sphere of wind chakra shot toward Yato, tearing through the landscape with its destructive force.
Yato, sensing the incoming attack, shifted his stance. With his left hand, he formed a seal, focusing his chakra. "Barrier Jutsu: Gravity Wall!"
A translucent wall of intensified gravity materialized in front of him, absorbing and deflecting the wind sphere. The collision created a deafening explosion, shaking the ground and sending shockwaves through the battlefield.
Danzo's eyes widened in disbelief as his attack was neutralized. "What kind of monster is this?"
Yato, unharmed, lowered his hand and stared directly at Danzo. "Don't worry, your time will soon arrive. No need to rush."
Yato then looked in Shisui's direction, and the latter quickly understood. Forming multiple seals in seconds, he jumped back, his chest swelling, before he spat.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu."
A sea of fire erupted from Shisui's mouth, consuming everything in its path. The intense flames roared and surged forward, engulfing the battlefield in a blazing inferno.
The Root ninjas, already on edge, scrambled to avoid the searing heat. Some attempted to counter with water-based jutsu, but the sheer scale and power of Shisui's attack overwhelmed their efforts.
Danzo, seeing his forces being decimated by the relentless flames, knew he had to act quickly. He formed more seals and unleashed a powerful gust of wind to dissipate the fire.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
The powerful wind jutsu clashed with the sea of flames, creating a turbulent storm of fire and wind. The battlefield became a chaotic maelstrom of conflicting elements, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
Amidst the chaos, Yato moved with precision and speed, cutting down any Root Ninja who dared to approach. This time, Yato's targets were the ninjas proficient in illusion. The recent Genjutsu attack caused him to have great fear toward these weird, non-physical techniques. He didn't want to face it again and aimed to eliminate the threat early.
"Where's the sensory ninja? Find his shadow clone for me!" Aburame Maru, still alive, had escaped the killing array because he was at the edge of the gravity barrier. But he was injured, his arm still bleeding from a shuriken cut. He couldn't get treatment now; he had to command other Root members to avoid further losses as Danzo-sama was busy with Shisui and couldn't fully focus on them, or else he would be in danger.
"We have to find those clones, and be careful. There might be other traps around here."
Maru had already noticed that this area seemed to be filled with traps, as if the enemy anticipated their ambush on Shisui. At the same time, he noticed the villain's fear of illusions. He couldn't ignore it, so he had the illusion-proficient ninjas quickly retreat and look for opportunities to cooperate with others to attack.
