Chapter 177 Mortal Body, Hero's Water!

In the jungle around Yangyan Village, the shadows are blurry and unreal.

"Lord Yahiko, wake up, Takigakure's group of guys are acting strangely again." A "ghost" with the ability to sense whispered.

"Huh? Oh, here again? Haha~"

Yahiko responded vaguely, opened his eyes in a daze, and yawned tiredly.

He is now able to master the "full concentration and normal center" skill, and can continue to concentrate on mastering breathing even when he falls asleep.

But after all, he is too young and his body is not fully developed now. After persisting like this for a day, he still feels very tired mentally. He can only take a short nap to recover when the opponent slows down his offensive.

"Eh? No."

Yahiko seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at the "ghost" beside him, and said in a troubled and helpless tone: "Brother Asa, how many times have I told you, just call me Yahiko, 'Sir' or something like that." , it feels so awkward.”

"Don't embarrass me, Yahiko-sama."

The "ghost" called "Asa" quickly shook his head and explained: "You can call me whatever you want in private, but Lord Nagato has said that at this time, you must abide by the rules, be orderly, and be safe. Its position.”

It's that red-haired, dark-side paralyzed kid again.

The paralyzed face appeared in his mind. Yahiko's expression was a little depressed, and he complained: "It's so troublesome. Being that guy's subordinate is really embarrassing for you."

You can tell with your toes that with that guy's character, he must be very rigid at ordinary times.

It was impossible for him to make friends with his subordinates.

No, even speaking of it, Yahiko doubted whether he had any friends.

However, although he always disliked the little ghost, he admired these people who were willing to become "ghosts".

Not everyone has the courage to become a "ghost".

Although becoming a "ghost" can gain terrible vitality and the body can slowly recover as long as the brain is not destroyed, at the same time it will also lose the qualification to stand in the sun.

Even if you go out normally, you need to wear a robe that covers the whole body, otherwise you will be burned by the not hot sunshine of the Rain Country. You can only travel normally when the dark clouds are completely covered or at night.

Fortunately, there are almost no sunny days in the Land of Rain.

But what Yahiko doesn't know is that the self-healing ability that the "ghost" now possesses is actually a weakened version.

The real "ghost" can be said to be an immortal existence. As long as it is not beheaded by a special "Nichirin Sword" or exposed to sunlight, even if the head is destroyed, it can completely heal itself within a few seconds.

However, only when there is "giving up" can there be "gain".

It is precisely because of the weakened self-healing ability that they can eat human food like normal people, and they will not crave flesh and blood like real "ghosts", and completely become a humanoid species that eats artificial means of survival.

At least in Yunchuan's view, this change is neither good nor bad.

"Ah haha, it's not difficult at all."

Hearing Yahiko directly complaining about Nagato, Asa just laughed twice and said seriously: "Actually, we all know that Nagato-sama is just cold-faced and warm-hearted. If you don't follow the rules, you won't be fair. He is usually very nice to us. "

"You can tell when your face is cold, but your heart is warm..."

Hearing this, Yahiko scratched his cheek and didn't feel like saying anything more.

He still had too little contact with Nagato, and what impressed him most was his bad character.

But he is also learning to put away his prejudice. Since Asa's subordinates say this, let's believe it for a while.

After all, these "ghosts" are still that guy's subordinates, he was just temporarily given command by the boss.

Although he doesn't like this hierarchical system, he also understands that this kind of thing must exist at present.

"call!"

Yahiko stood up with his thighs supported, exhaled mist from his mouth, and looked in the direction of Takigakure in the distance.

The late night wind blew the branches and leaves, revealing a corner of the moon, and shed the moonlight like mercy.

The light was too dim to see clearly when he was leaning under the tree, but now under the shining moonlight, Yahiko's somewhat embarrassed look at this moment was completely revealed.

Although he didn't suffer any serious injuries, his arms and chest were wrapped in bandages, and his clothes and face were scorched black, all caused by the flames of the detonating talisman's explosion.

The injuries on his body were caused by the black-haired Taki ninja when he was covering the evacuation.

After all, that guy is an elite among the jounin of Takigakure. He may not be as valuable as those jounin elites in Konoha, but he is still much better than most jounin.

In a fit of rage, he attacks with all his strength without scruples, which is still difficult to deal with given his current strength.

Of course, the guy who directly broke into the minefield was seriously blown up. If the blue-haired Taki nin hadn't reacted in time to rescue him, he might have died in the detonating charm traps around him.

"Oh, what a pity."

Thinking of this, Yahiko couldn't help but sigh again.

Asa looked at the sighing boy beside him, with a hint of gentleness in his scarlet vertical pupils.

The same goes for the "ghosts" around him. No matter how embarrassed Yahiko is now, he has already won their approval.

It's not because of how strong he is, nor how strong his commanding ability is.

Instead, the opponent dared to come to the battlefield in the form of a "mortal body" to cover the evacuation of these "ghosts" with their companions.

As the interim commander who made the decision to rotate, he was the only one who did not participate in the rotation.

In this day, no fewer than fifty enemies died in his hands.

It can be said that he took on the most dangerous rearguard mission, and he was able to survive every time with his keen intuition.

Tactics are the best control of a commander on the battlefield, and Yahiko is still very immature, so he only used one tactic.

Suicide attack, fight to the death, with them.

"It seems that those people from Takigakure are determined to fight to the death."

Yahiko took a deep breath, looked up at the moon in the night sky, and smiled: "But now it's our home court."

The reason why they have not taken the initiative to attack and have always insisted on defense is that they cannot be exposed to the sun.

Although he knew that this flaw would be discovered sooner or later, Yahiko still hoped that it could be exposed later.

After all, once this flaw is known to others, it will be easy for the enemy to target it in the future.

"Go get everyone ready for the battle. Those guys from Takigakure will push forward regardless of the losses."

Yahiko turned his head to look at the tall and burly figure behind him and smiled, "Uncle Ye, I'll trouble you to give them a surprise when the time comes."

"..." Ye scratched his head, the "Upper Rank" and "Lock" engraved in his eyes glowed, and he whispered, "Okay."

————————

Just as Yahiko and the others expected.

When the night came, the Takigakure troops led by the black-haired Takigakure ninja attacked.

And in order to minimize the losses caused by the detonation trap of Kagero Village, they still attacked in groups of three.

Even if Yahiko didn't have any good countermeasures, after all, this could be said to be exploring the way forward with human lives, and whether they could survive and how many survived depended on luck.

Almost at the same time, several teams from Takigakure Village ran into the same number of enemies, and they were also configured as a team of three like them.

But the difference is that Kagero Village had a "ghost" on its side, plus two Kagero Village ninjas.

Bang!

After meeting the Takigakure ninja team, the two ninjas from Yangyan Village did not hesitate to put the detonating talisman on the "ghost's" arm, and retreated at the same time and shouted: "Quick! It's done! Go and deliver it!"

Under the gaze of the Takigakure ninjas, who were either terrified, angry or desperate, they watched the screaming monster rushing towards them in an instant, and the detonating talisman on the arm was ignited and smoked.

Boom! Boom! !

A series of explosions sounded in various parts of the jungle, as well as wailing, cursing, screaming and fighting sounds.

And under the pale moonlight, above the heads of the two Takigakure ninjas, a nimble and flexible figure pounced down with fierce murderous intent!

Yahiko hid the sound of his falling in the violent sound waves of the explosion, and knelt down on the shoulders of the Takigakure ninja who was distracted by the explosion for a moment. When the other party came to his senses and showed astonishment and fear on his face.

"In a place like this, dare you be distracted?" Yahiko sneered and exerted force with his legs.

Crack! !

After the creepy sound of bone cracking, he dodged the kunai swung by another Takigakure ninja with a backflip, and kicked the limp body into his arms!

"Water Style: Water Fang Cannon!"

The angry voice sounded, and the spiral water flow with terrifying impact force shot towards Yahiko who was still in the air with nowhere to get support like a cannonball.

However, reflected by Yahiko's pupils that did not change.

Bang! !

The water cannon exploded less than half a meter in front of him, looking like a blue and white flower in full bloom, and the water vapor drifted and spread like smoke and mist and fell down.

At the same time, the Takigakure ninja who was still holding the body of his companion in his arms, half of his body also exploded into blood mist along with the body.

Yahiko landed lightly and steadily, patted the burly figure in front of him, and said with a smile: "Thanks, Uncle Ye."

Puff.

"Ye" slowly pulled back his bloody arms from the two pierced bodies, tore off his torn black robe and exposed his extremely burly body in the night.

The moonlight hit Yahiko's face, and there was still blood foam from the body on his cheek. He turned his head to look at the angry black-haired Takigakure ninja and the indifferent blue-haired Takigakure ninja in the distance.

"Oh." Yahiko couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled, "You smelled the smell so quickly and chased after me."

But surprisingly, the black-haired Takigakure ninja and the blue-haired Takigakure ninja ignored his trash talk.

After the two looked at each other, they reached into their ninja bag and took out a tube of blue unknown liquid. They stared at Yahiko and Ye who stood in front of him and remained silent with a fearless look.

Immediately, they drank the tube of blue unknown liquid without hesitation.

"What is it?"

Yahiko frowned at the unexpected behavior, squinting at the glass container thrown to the ground by the two, and immediately thought of something similar to medicine.

But then, the changes in the blue-haired Takinin and the black-haired Takinin instantly overturned his guess and made his face change.

Boom! Boom!

The liquid, which was far more dangerous and several times more effective than the Akimichi clan's secret medicine "Three-Color Pill", merged into the body in one breath, making the two feel as if a fire was ignited in their bodies, burning to every corner.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying chakra aura burst out from the bodies of the two people, turning into a light blue mist that was almost visible to the naked eye and surrounded their bodies. The sharp wind and waves danced wildly around them, and their outer clothes were lifted up and shook. The ground under their feet collapsed into two circular pits with the two people as the center.

The surrounding trees were cleared away, revealing a huge vacuum zone.

Seeing this scene, Yahiko instantly realized what they had drunk.

——Hero's Water!

This unexpected change gave Yahiko a headache for a while.

He had originally planned to entangle the blue Taki Ninja over there, and then Uncle Ye would deal with the stronger black-haired Taki Ninja.

But he didn't expect that these two people actually brought the "Hero's Water", and he didn't expect that they had the courage and determination to drink it directly.

The entire Takigakure Village was built around a giant tree. It is said that the giant tree will produce "holy water", but only one bottle can be accumulated every hundred years.

After drinking the thing called "Hero's Water", you can instantly have ten times your original chakra!

It can be said that the power of most ninjutsu, especially the power of water escape ninjutsu, is determined by the chakra consumed.

Ten times the chakra can increase the power and range of their ninjutsu by at least ten times, and gain a powerful force beyond the elite jonin.

And the price of obtaining this power is to burn the user's life.

In other words, when the two drank the so-called "Hero's Water", their lives had already begun to count down.

"So that's how it is, you are together, although it's a bit unexpected, but..."

Looking at the two figures in the distance, they have clearly stepped on the road to death, but the blue-haired Takigakure ninja's tone is unusually calm, as if stating a fact, and said calmly: "Little devil, and that big guy, today, you will die."

The thoughts in his mind were interrupted by him, but Yahiko's mouth pulled out a smile, and his eyes gradually became warm and said: "Why think so much, let's see who died here today!"

Bang! !

As the voice fell, the explosion sounded far louder than other battlefields, and the ground in the surrounding area was shaking at this moment.

And 500 meters away, Kakuzu casually smashed his fist into the head of a Takigakure ninja, piercing through the back of the head and splashing red and white things.

"Hmph, meaningless garbage, this damn thing is actually called 'Hero Water' now?"

Looking down at the glass container on the ground that had been drained of liquid, Kakuzu snorted coldly and said with some disdain: "A group of pigs that can't beat people, if the water is added, they can only become a group of heavier water-injected pigs. Apart from being given the nice-sounding name of 'heroes', your death has no value."

Pigs are pigs, bears are bears, and they will never become heroes.

While thinking, as if receiving some information, Kakuzu suddenly looked up at the black shadow above his head, and then looked in the distance, whispering: "Where is it? It seems that stupid bird is still useful."

As soon as the voice fell, his figure disappeared in an instant, and went in the direction of Yahiko and the other four.
