Chapter 108 Kanako's Beliefs
"Watch out!" Kanako cried out, throwing out two shuriken, forcing back the attacking Iwagakure genin, and then grabbed Muto Saika and quickly retreated.
"Concentrate on the battlefield!" Kanako shouted.
Muto Saika's eyes were glazed over, and her body trembled slightly as she faced Kanako's reprimand.
"Kanako."
"I might be dying."
The enemy's longsword had almost killed her.
The roaring enemies, their狰狞 faces, the horrific scenes on the battlefield—scenes she had never seen in the village before—made her tense and filled with fear.
If it weren't for her companions by her side, she might have collapsed long ago. Even now, she is trembling with fear and simply cannot muster the courage to fight the enemy.
"You idiot, pull yourself together!" Kanako snapped, looking at him with exasperation. "Oki almost got seriously injured saving you! How can you do this to your comrades?!"
"Grab the knife!"
"If you don't dare take a knife, then use a shuriken!"
Perhaps it was Kanako's words that gave her support. Muto Saika held a kunai in one hand and several shuriken in the other, looking for an opportunity to harass the enemies surrounding her.
Although the strength of the shuriken was not very strong, at least he was no longer sitting idly by waiting to die.
However, the enemy was far stronger than them. The leading enemy Chunin, while fighting their own Chunin, also managed to seize an opportunity to perform a hand seal with one hand.
"Earth Release: Flowing Skin Technique!"
A wave of chakra spread out, and then Mutou Saika felt the ground beneath her feet suddenly become incredibly slippery. The shallow soil layer looked as if it had just rained, and her feet couldn't stop slipping on it.
For experienced ninjas, this situation can be dealt with simply by improving their control over the chakra in their feet. However, for most genin of average strength, the sudden change still caught them off guard.
Muto Saika, along with several resisting genin, slipped and fell to the ground, including Kanako.
She saw Kanako lying on the ground, her kunai, which she used as a weapon, being thrown out to block the enemy under pressure, her hands forming a mudra.
That was a C-rank Water Release seal. She remembered that Kanako hadn't fully mastered it yet, and as she formed the seal, her face already showed a look of determination.
Muto Saika felt a surge of admiration.
Kanako, like her, was just an ordinary genin.
However, on the battlefield, her opponent far surpassed her. Both their reaction to the enemy and their unwavering mentality made her feel inferior.
During a recent attack, she asked the attacker why he could maintain such a good mindset after fighting on the battlefield.
The other person replied that it was because she had something to look forward to.
She asked what it was, and Kanako said, "I was thinking that if I could hold out until the war ended, I could go back to the village and be with Seiun."
"I'm so excited and looking forward to it."
Upon hearing this answer, Muto Saika's feelings were extremely complicated.
Shenyue Xingyun represents the other person's expectation of returning home, but what about herself?
The two had broken up because the other person was too incompetent. The hand of God that once belonged to her was no longer hers. What could she expect?
Are you looking forward to meeting an unknown blind date?
Seeing Kanako lying on the ground fighting for her life, a thought subconsciously arose in her mind.
dying.
After you die, you, like me, will forever lose the Divine Moon Nebula.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Mutou Saika was startled by herself! How could she have such a dark idea?
Kanako had been encouraging her just moments before!
She sat up abruptly, suppressing the complex thoughts in her mind, then gripped the shuriken in her hand and hurled it with all her might at the enemy in front of Kanako!
The shuriken cut through the wind; although its power was only average, it still forced the enemy to parry, buying Kanako some time.
"puff!"
Water gushed out of Kanako's mouth! Although it wasn't large-scale, it was a success.
The enemy on the other side tried to dodge, but the attack range of the water waves could be adjusted by the caster. Even if he tried his best to dodge, he was still swept by the water waves and fell backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Muto Saika threw her remaining shuriken, which struck the enemy.
"Thank you, Shika!" Kanako quickly got up and returned to Shika's side, expressing her gratitude.
Muto Saika shook her head: "You're welcome."
"I was the one who dragged the team down from the start."
Having defeated one enemy, the pressure on the group hadn't eased much. They had only taken down a genin; the real trouble lay with the enemy's chunin. In the chaotic situation, Konoha hadn't yet gained the upper hand, and their predicament remained dangerous.
"Caixiang, do you have any more explosive tags?" Kanako suddenly asked.
Muto Saika was taken aback: "There's one last one."
"What are you going to do?"
Kanako glanced at the two Chunin engaged in battle. They were incredibly fast, and their own Chunin, Fujikawa, was heavily injured and on the verge of defeat. They couldn't help, and their chakra was insufficient to unleash ninjutsu. She said, "Chūnin Fujikawa isn't going to hold on."
"Get ready to take a few down with you."
Muto Saika quickly rummaged through her ninja tool pouch, then took out an explosive tag and handed it to Kanako. Kanako was about to take it when she suddenly froze in place.
"Caixiang, am I hallucinating?"
"Can you take a look at this for me?"
Muto Saika turned her head in confusion, and then she froze.
Following the direction of the two Chunin, a very familiar figure was steadily approaching in the middle of the battlefield.
nebula!
God Moon Nebula!
In an instant, both Muto Saika and Kanako had a huge gleam in their eyes.
They weren't sure if the Divine Moon Nebula could help them through their ordeal, but meeting on the battlefield was an unexpected joy nonetheless. The two even felt that even if they were to die, dying together was far better than dying alone.
The Iwagakure ninja wielded his long sword with lightning speed, his attacks fierce. He saw their movements, and upon recognizing the explosive tags in their hands, he chuckled maliciously, "Heh heh~"
"Two ridiculous guys."
"Keep the explosive tags for yourselves!"
"Clang!!!" Gripping the long sword tightly with both hands, he struck the heavily injured Chunin Fujikawa, sending him flying back into the group. The latter was no longer able to fight.
The Iwagakure ninja once again held his sword in one hand and formed a hand seal.
"Escape Earth Burial!"
Four earthen walls rose from around Kanako and her companions, quickly ascending to a height of three meters, and then began to encircle them.
Heights that were once easily jumped over now seem insurmountable due to exhaustion or injury.
The Iwagakure chunin revealed a cruel expression, seemingly anticipating the enemy's fate of being buried alive in the next moment.
Just then, he suddenly noticed the sound of wind behind him.
In an instant, a strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart. With the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end, he did not turn around. He swung his long sword backward with one hand and pounced forward like a rat.
