This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 153 Clash with Iwagakure

After several days of travel, Nishikawa Tetsu's team finally infiltrated the heart of the Land of Rain.

Nishikawa Tetsu walked at the forefront, and behind him, the somewhat inexperienced squad advanced in a standard tactical formation.

Might Guy was carrying a large bag filled with Nishikawa Tetsu's things, which he said were for Guy to carry.

Kai stepped into the mud with considerable force each time, but it was much better than before; he was gradually controlling the force.

His youthful face was filled with curiosity and excitement about the war, completely unaware of the danger.

Kurenai followed closely beside Kai, her red eyes scanning the surroundings warily, but her fingers gripping the kunai turned slightly white with tension.

As newly graduated genin, this was their first time stepping out of the country and their first time facing a real battlefield.

Uchiha Shisui, who was responsible for bringing up the rear, had a calm expression and light steps.

"stop."

Nishikawa Tetsu suddenly raised his right hand and made a fist.

The line came to an instant.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Shisui's voice was very low.

"There's a chakra fluctuation about 200 meters ahead; it might be an enemy."

Kai's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice excitedly, "Is it going to be a battle? Captain Nishikawa! Let me lead the charge! My youth is boiling!"

"Don't be impulsive, Kai." Hong tugged at his sleeve, somewhat worried.

Nishikawa Tetsu turned around and looked at the three little ones.

"Since we've run into them, if they're enemies, then let's use them to test your strength."

His tone was calm, but his eyes became serious.

"Kai, Hong, you've never seen real fighting. If a battle breaks out, protect yourselves."

"Shisui, you're in charge of providing support and protecting them."

"yes!"

……

Two hundred meters away.

Three Iwa ninjas dressed in dark red clothes and earth-colored vests were stealthily making their way towards the border of the Land of Rain under the cover of the rain.

The leader, a Jonin from Iwa, was burly and had a sinister look in his eyes.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned his gaze to the woods to the side.

"Come out, you rats."

Now that they've been discovered, there's no need to hide anymore, but Nishikawa Tetsu has gone into hiding.

"People from Konoha?" The Iwa ninja frowned. They were operating in secret, and since they had encountered people, they had no choice but to silence them.

The three children didn't seem to be any experts. He gave the other two Iwa ninja a wink.

Without even exchanging pleasantries, they immediately began preparing to form hand seals.

Might Guy struck first, and with a furious roar, he burst out of the forest like a green cannonball. His leg, which wasn't particularly thick, kicked hard at an Iwa ninja with a powerful gust of wind.

"Hmph, you ignorant brat."

A hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the Iwa ninja Chunin. He didn't even dodge; he simply formed hand seals and slammed them onto the ground.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"boom!"

A thick earthen wall rose from the ground.

"Bang!"

Kai's leg slammed heavily against the mud wall. However, it did not shatter the wall as he had expected.

The immense recoil caused him to cry out in pain, and he was thrown into the air, rolling several times on the muddy ground before coming to a stop. His once clean bodysuit instantly turned muddy.

"It's so... hard!" Kai hugged his leg, wincing in pain.

"Is that all you've got?"

The Iwa ninja sneered, flicking his kunai straight at Guy's heart.

"Magic Tree Binding Kill!"

At the critical moment, Kurenai Yuhi made her move.

The Iwa ninja who was rushing towards Kai suddenly froze, his eyes momentarily glazed over as if he saw countless vines entwining him.

"Illusion?"

Another Iwa ninja snorted coldly.

"untie!"

He simply patted his fallen companion on the back, channeling chakra into him, and Kurenai's genjutsu was instantly broken.

As a newly graduated genin, Kurenai's genjutsu might be effective against her peers, but it's still too inexperienced against experienced chunin.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

The Iwa ninja, having broken the illusion, threw two shuriken at Kurenai's face.

Hong was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead, making it impossible for her to move.

"Ding! Ding!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

A black afterimage appeared in front of Hong in an instant, wielding a short knife and accurately knocking the shuriken from her hand.

"Don't just stand there! Get moving!"

Shisui gave a low shout, his dark eyes calmly observing the situation.

Although he is young, he is already a Chunin who has awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, and his strength far surpasses that of Guy and Kurenai.

"Body Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

Shisui flashed again, appearing behind an Iwa ninja Chunin, and slashed down with his short sword imbued with chakra.

"Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame!"

"Pfft!"

Although the Chunin reacted in time, he couldn't keep up. A deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed across his back, and he screamed as he staggered backward.

"Oh? There's one that's somewhat presentable."

The captain of the Iwa ninja, who had been holding back until now, finally made his move.

He looked into Shisui's eyes, a cruel glint flashing within them.

"Uchiha brat? Killing you would make the Tsuchikage very happy."

"Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique!"

He spat out several fist-sized stone projectiles, moving as fast as bullets, blocking all of Shisui's evasive routes.

Zhi Shui could only parry with his sword.

"Clang! Clang!"

The immense impact made Shisui's hands go numb, and he almost dropped the short sword in his hand. He was knocked back more than ten meters and crashed heavily into a tree trunk.

Only one round of confrontation.

Kai fell to the ground, Hong stiffened, and Shisui was knocked back.

This is reality. On a real battlefield, there aren't that many challenges beyond one's level. There are only bloody differences in strength.

"it's over."

The Iwa ninja captain sneered and quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

A gigantic earth dragon burst forth from the ground, opened its massive maw, and roared as it charged toward the three people who had already lost the ability to resist.

Kai and Hong stared at the earth dragon in despair, experiencing the fear of death for the first time.

Zhi Shui gritted his teeth, preparing to fight desperately.

Just then.

"Buzz—"

A very faint buzzing sound.

"puff!"

That was the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, faint yet deadly.

The Iwa ninja captain, who was about to control the earth dragon to devour the three, suddenly froze.

A red dot appeared between his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, the red dot rapidly expanded, and blood mixed with brain matter gushed out.

A senbon needle pierced his skull instantly, and even the tree behind him was pierced through with a hole.

The massive earth dragon, having lost the support of chakra, collapsed with a roar, turning into a pile of mud that splattered all over Gai and Kurenai.

"Team...Captain?!"

The remaining two Iwa ninja turned around in horror, staring blankly at their captain who had fallen straight down.

On the treetops.

Nishikawa Tetsu slowly retracted his raised left arm. The light from the miniature battery on the "Bee Sting" arm guard, which gleamed coldly, gradually went out. His expression was extremely calm, and there was no fluctuation on his face.

Nishikawa Tetsu jumped down from the tree and landed silently.

He glanced at the two terrified Chunin and gestured towards Shisui with his lip.

"Shisui, the rest is up to you."

"yes!"

Shisui's eyes sharpened, and he instantly seized the opportunity.

Without the support of a Jonin, these two injured and panicked Chunin were no match for Uchiha Shisui, who had awakened his Sharingan.

Soon, the two bodies fell to the ground.

The battle is over.

It's still raining.

Might Guy sat blankly in the mud, looking at his swollen legs, then at the corpse of the Jonin who had been instantly killed by Nishikawa Tetsu. The exhilarating feeling of being on the edge of his seat disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of defeat.

Kurenai Yuhi turned deathly pale and leaned against a tree trunk, retching—this was the first time she had ever seen a dead person up close, and seen brain matter.

"Is this what war is?" Red asked, trembling.

"Yes, this is war."

Nishikawa Tetsu walked up to them, offering no words of comfort.

"This is different from sparring at the Ninja Academy. There are no referees, and it doesn't stop when someone's touches the target. If I had been even a second slower, you would all be corpses by now."

He looked at this group of future pillars of Konoha.

"Remember the feeling of powerlessness you feel today. On the battlefield, weakness is the original sin."

"You want to live, you want to uphold your ninja way, or your youth..."

Nishikawa Tetsu took off the headbands from the Iwagakure members and threw them into Kai's arms.

"Then let's strive to become stronger."

"Whether it's relying on physical strength, ninjutsu, or... brains."

"Let's pack up and continue our journey."

He turned and walked into the depths of the jungle, leaving the three children lost in thought.
