Bab 68: Chp-68: Are You Ready to Chase Me?
The air seemed to solidify, pressing down on Satoru's breathing, making each breath slow and laboured.
What to do?
The Iwa ninjas had gradually surrounded him. With his position already locked in, escaping unnoticed was unrealistic.
If that's the case...
Satoru took a deep breath, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He flipped his right hand, and a kunai appeared in his palm. With the powerful acceleration of electromagnetic propulsion, it transformed into an electromagnetic cannon.
A blue streak flashed, and a nearby Iwa ninja's chest burst open with a gaping hole, his face showing disbelief as he fell backwards.
...
In the command tent.
Stone Earth suddenly opened his eyes, exclaiming in shock, "Not good, Lord Tonton; the enemy has discovered our plan and has already launched an attack!"
"Hmph! I intended to capture him alive, but if he's seeking death..."
Tonton snorted, indifferent.
The enemy was alone while he had dispatched six Chunin and one Jonin.
Even if the enemy wanted to go down fighting, success was impossible.
But before he could finish his sentence, Stone Earth spoke in horror.
"No! The enemy is extremely strong. He has already killed a Chunin with his first move... the second one..."
"The third!"
"He has already killed three Chunins!"
Impossible! Not only had the enemy discovered their plan, but his strength was terrifying.
Tonton's pupils constricted, a dreadful thought creeping into his mind.
Without hesitation, a surge of powerful chakra erupted from him, smashing through the tent door with a loud crash as he charged towards Satoru's location.
"What's happening?"
"Is that... Lord Tonton?"
"What's going on? Why is he charging there?"
The surrounding Iwa ninjas were taken aback, watching the scene with confusion.
...
In the chaos, Stone Earth coughed in the dust stirred up by Tonton's abrupt exit.
"Cough... Lord Tonton has discovered a Konoha scout nearby and is chasing him."
"What?"
"A Konoha scout?"
"How bold to lurk near our camp..."
...
A shuriken wrapped in blue lightning streaked through the air at an almost imperceptible speed, piercing through the throat of an Iwa ninja.
The fourth one!
Satoru's gaze was cold and sharp.
The battle had only lasted a few breaths, but he had already killed four of the surrounding Iwa ninjas.
Each move was swift and lethal!
At that moment, he turned to look towards Windmill Town, sensing a terrifying chakra rapidly approaching.
Satoru knew he couldn't delay any longer.
Otherwise, he would face the entire Iwa camp's onslaught!
"Earth Release: Earth Splitter!"
A hidden Iwa Jonin shouted, slamming his palms into the ground.
With a rumbling sound, the ground trembled violently.
Satoru staggered slightly.
In that instant, a roar came from behind. A burly Iwa ninja leapt up, his fist encased in thick rock, and smashed down at Satoru.
Satoru agilely jumped back, dodging the attack.
Boom!
The impact shattered the ground, sending spider-web cracks radiating from the rock-covered fist, scattering debris.
Tonton's towering figure emerged from the split earth, staring coldly at Satoru.
"I initially thought the scouts were delayed due to a discovery, but seeing you near the camp and easily killing Chunins..."
"Now it seems those missing scouts fell victim to you, didn't they?"
His gaze locked onto Satoru's pure white eyes, narrowing slightly.
"Byakugan, just as I thought..."
"Who exactly are you?"
Satoru pondered before replying, "Namikaze Minato."
Tonton's anger turned into bewilderment, showing a hint of confusion.
Namikaze Minato?
No, that couldn't be right.
While he was a known prodigy of Konoha, Minato was supposed to have yellow hair and wasn't from the Hyuga clan. The age didn't match either!
After a moment of stunned silence, realizing he had been mocked, Tonton was enraged.
"You dare mock me!"
He changed his fist to a palm, striking the ground heavily.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide!"
The ground split open where his palm struck, a massive chasm resembling a beast's gaping maw rushing towards Satoru.
Nimbly backflipping, Satoru evaded the attack while extending his sleeve, from which silver magnetic fluid emerged, forming a silver sniper rifle.
Satoru's eyes were icy cold.
A blue streak of lightning shot from the rifle barrel.
The target wasn't Tonton but the distant camp.
Stone Earth was explaining Satoru's intel to the remaining Iwa ninjas when he felt a chilling sensation from behind. His pupils shrank; before he could react, his forehead exploded with a fist-sized hole, his eyes reflecting disbelief as he fell backwards.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
"Lord Stone Earth!"
...
This horrific scene threw the remaining Iwa ninjas into chaos as they gathered around the fallen Stone Earth.
...
Elsewhere.
Tonton watched the blue streak's trajectory, his pupils trembling.
It was that move that killed the village's scouts?
Satoru's face bore a hint of killing intent.
The camp's Iwa ninjas were gradually surrounding him; he couldn't leave the sensor ninja alive!
Even if it meant exposing his sniping ability.
The night was falling.
A dense mass of Iwa ninjas holding torches and lighting tools charged towards his position.
Satoru knew he couldn't linger, giving Tonton a mocking smile.
"I'm going to run now! Are you ready to chase me?"
As he finished speaking, his body was surrounded by faint lightning, electromagnetic propulsion activated, and his speed surged as he dashed away.
Watching his retreating figure, Tonton finally snapped out of his shock, gritting his teeth.
"That ability... such long-range precision, unheard of..."
This kid cannot be allowed to live!
At thirteen or fourteen, his power was already terrifying, surpassing the Sannin at that age. If allowed to grow...
Unimaginable...
In a split second, Tonton made his decision, his killing intent soaring.
The camp's Iwa ninjas also arrived, alerted by the commotion.
Taking a deep breath, Tonton pursued Satoru, shouting to his men.
"We must catch him. We can't let that Hyuga ninja return alive!"
"Yes!"
The Iwa ninjas roared in unison, creating a massive wave of pursuers.
Night had fallen.
The sight of a group of Iwa ninjas holding torches and lighting tools chasing after a distant figure was spectacular in the dark.
