Chapter 209 Slap in the Face, Fame
In the grove, surrounded by numerous Sand Ninja, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, launched a relentless offensive against Taichi.
However, while Taiyi struggled to defend against Rasa's gold dust attacks, he managed to hold his own. Occasionally, he could even launch a sudden counterattack, causing Rasa considerable trouble.
"You can also use wide-range ninjutsu attacks, don't worry about accidentally hurting me. Today, we must leave Matsushita Taichi here."
Rasa issued orders to the Sand Ninja around him, clearly not wanting to wait any longer. He was determined to kill Taichi, even if it meant enduring his subordinates' ninjutsu.
Furthermore, he was very confident in his gold dust defense, which was far superior to Taiichi's, who only had a short sword.
Upon receiving the order, the Sand Ninja around them immediately began forming hand seals to prepare to unleash their ninjutsu. Their movements were fast, but Taiichi's were even faster.
He had anticipated Luo Sha's encirclement strategy, so as soon as he finished speaking, his free left hand began to rapidly form hand seals.
One-handed hand seal!
Rasa's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Taiichi to have this trick up his sleeve. Judging from the beginning of his hand seals, it was clearly a water-style technique. Furthermore, sensing the surging chakra aura around Taiichi, it was obviously a powerful move.
"Watch out, it's a water-style escape technique—"
Before he could finish reminding him, Taiyi, who had taken the initiative, had already completed the hand seals.
Water Escape·Big waterfall water rushes into the waves.
The surging water swirled around Taiyi, rising higher and higher, reaching a height of over ten meters in the time it takes to breathe. The ninjutsu unleashed by the Sand Ninja, who were quick to form hand seals, splashed up waves as they struck the water.
Then, the ten-meter-high wall of water transformed into a towering wave, sweeping across the surroundings and scattering everything in its path.
Some of the Sand Ninja who were slow to dodge were still struggling in the water, desperately trying to surface, but the numerous turbulent currents made their struggles futile.
If this goes on for too long, they will all drown.
However, it was clear that Sunagakure would not give Taichi such an opportunity. The waves subsided slightly, and the Kazekage and many other ninjas surrounded them again.
Taiichi looked at the Sand Ninja still struggling in the water with some regret. He wished he could kill them all in the water, but he knew it was unrealistic.
If he doesn't run now, he really won't be able to escape using ordinary methods, and he has no intention of revealing his other trump cards for this reason.
"Lord Kazekage, thank you for your hospitality. I just hope you'll like my return gift later!"
After saying that, before Fengying Luosha could reply, Taiyi's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
A deathly silence fell over the area, broken only by the rushing water and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
"Oh no! Quinn and the others went after that Konoha squad, and Matsushita Taichi must have gone to support his comrades!" Kazekage suddenly realized what Taichi meant by the return gift he mentioned before leaving.
"Quick, follow me!" Without even having time to explain, he beckoned his ninjas to chase after Yangping and the others in the direction they had fled.
Hopefully, it's not too late!
Rasa thought to himself, but reason told him that the chances were slim. With Matsushita Taichi's strength, plus that group of Konoha ninjas, if Queen and his group got entangled with that group of ninjas, their chances of survival were slim.
As Luo Sha predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.
The moment Taiichi appeared beside Yangping using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he realized that they had been entangled by the three Sand Village members.
He was still being heavily suppressed and could only manage a barely adequate defense.
It's no wonder they were so weak; their opponents consisted of two Jonin and a Special Senior, and Yang Ping and the others hadn't recovered much of their chakra, so they were naturally at a disadvantage in every fight.
Otherwise, with Yangping's kaleidoscope, he could have fought them on equal terms by himself.
The appearance of Taiichi at this moment was obviously unexpected by the three Sand Village ninja, especially the Sand Village Jonin who was fighting with Yohei, whose eyes showed fear.
The moment Taiyi appeared, his short sword had already pierced through him. By the time he reacted, it was too late. Taiyi pierced through his chest, and then Yangping seized the opportunity, slicing his neck with a kunai.
Now, the other two Sand Ninja were also frightened. They exerted their strength together to force their opponents back, and then fled back the way they came without stopping.
Just as Kakashi and Saori were about to give chase, they were stopped by Taiichi.
"Don't chase! The Sand Village's pursuers are right behind us. We need to retreat quickly."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look at Taiichi. Obito was the first to lose his composure, asking hopefully, "Taiichi, can your Flying Thunder God Technique carry people?"
Looking at Obito who was speaking, Taichi noticed his change. Since the battle had just ended, his Sharingan hadn't had time to close, and at this moment, a tomoe was slowly rotating in each of his eyes.
"You've opened your eyes!" Taiichi was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Rin must have encountered danger during their previous escape, otherwise, given Obito's temperament, opening his eyes wouldn't have been so easy.
Obito was taken aback, touched his eyes, and immediately became smug.
But Taiyi didn't give him a chance. He was only slightly surprised just now, and immediately changed the subject: "You can bring people, but only one at a time."
Kakashi and Rin were overjoyed, finally free from the run. The past two days had been incredibly tough on them, and for Kakashi, it was the most miserable experience he had ever had since becoming a ninja.
As for Yohei and Saori, they remained calm. As teammates, they knew Taiichi's strength, and besides, the specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai was given to them by Taiichi himself.
"Alright, time is of the essence. I'll take Lin first, and you all head north to try and buy some more time!"
As he spoke, Taiyi put his hand on Lin's shoulder, then formed a mudra with one hand and disappeared from the spot.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. We're not far from where we just fought, and Sunagakure will catch up soon." Yangping called out to everyone and led the way, running north. The others immediately followed.
Thirty seconds later, Taichi returned, leaving behind the words "Keep running" before disappearing again with Obito.
Then, a minute later, Taichi reappeared, this time disappearing again with Kakashi.
When they reappeared, they were already at the Konoha camp, in Taiichi's own resting tent.
Kakashi turned his head and looked around. Obito and Rin were on the side, but Rin was obviously not in good condition. Just like when Taichi first used the Flying Thunder God Technique, she was a little dizzy and was vomiting.
Looking back, Taiichi was covered in sweat; clearly, leading people on a long-distance Flying Thunder God teleportation was a great burden for him as well.
"Taiichi, are you alright? Can you still hold on?" Kakashi asked with concern. In the distance, Yohei and Saori were still there.
Taiyi took a breath, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and then revealed a confident smile: "A man can't say no, just watch me!"
Kakashi was about to speak when he saw Taichi form a hand seal and shout, "Release!"
Immediately, a pale blue light bloomed on Taiyi's forehead, and intricate patterns extended from the center to both sides until they covered Taiyi's bare arms as well.
At this moment, Taiichi's entire body was filled with surging chakra, but only for a moment before he completely contained it.
"You—you are?!" Kakashi stammered. He didn't recognize this ninjutsu, but judging from the chakra that Taiichi had just unleashed, he had obviously recovered to his peak condition. It was truly astonishing!
"The Yin Seal, a secret technique of Tsunade-sensei, remember to keep it a secret." Taiichi instructed, then his figure disappeared from the spot.
Over there, Yangping and Saori waited for more than two minutes before Taiichi reappeared, and they realized that this transfer had taken a toll on Taiichi.
However, upon closer inspection, Taiichi's difference was immediately apparent. But now was not the time for further discussion. Taiichi grabbed Saori, nodded to Yohei, and then disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Yang Ping also heard the commotion behind him. Obviously, someone had caught up with them. Luckily, he hadn't just waited there foolishly, or he would have been surrounded by them by now.
As he ran, he glanced back. The Sand Ninja pursuing him had appeared at the edge of his line of sight, led by the Fourth Kazekage. Judging from his angry expression, he must have suffered a considerable loss in his battle with Taiichi.
Yang Ping unconsciously increased his speed; he didn't want to be caught by Feng Ying, as he didn't even have much strength left to fight back.
Taiyi, you'd better come quickly!
While praying silently, Yang Ping kept increasing his speed, but the distance between the two sides continued to close.
Just as Yangping was about to enter the Kazekage's attack range, Taiyi appeared beside him and also noticed the Kazekage and his group behind him.
"Lord Kazekage, no need to see us off any further, we're leaving now!" Taiichi teased from behind, put a hand on Yohei's shoulder, and then the two of them disappeared from the spot.
When the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, saw Taiichi appear, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, Taiichi left only a few words and then disappeared with the Konoha ninja.
Rasa stopped his pursuit and stood still for a long time. The many Sand Village ninjas who had followed him also stopped around him, looking at their Kazekage and waiting for his next order.
"From now on, if you see Matsushita Taichi during a mission, you can choose to abandon the mission, and the village will not hold you responsible!"
Immediately, all the ninjas present became restless.
"Lord Kazekage, that's giving him way too much credit!"
"Kage-sama, Sunagakure can't afford to lose face like this!"
"Kazekage-sama————"
"Kazekage-sama————"
Words of advice were uttered repeatedly, but they could not change Rasa's decision in the slightest. These Sand Ninja, who had never fought against Matsushita Taichi, simply did not understand how difficult his situation was.
A ninja with no weaknesses in any area, coupled with the Flying Thunder God Technique, a ninjutsu with superb mobility, is virtually invincible until a way to counter it is found.
This was actually a great opportunity to hunt him down, but unfortunately, we were completely unprepared and our battle strategy was flawed. Having missed this chance, it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity again in the future.
"Furthermore, spread the word about my decision, not just in Sunagakure and Konoha, but throughout the entire ninja world. Let them all know about Matsushita Taichi, and let's help him make a name for himself!"
Luo Sha revealed a sinister smile, and at the same time added an order.
The Sand Ninja with a bit of sense finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but admire the Kazekage's brilliant move.
This is a case of flattery to kill. We can't deal with this enemy, so let someone who can handle him take over. Now is the time of another Ninja World War. Konoha is the enemy of all countries, and its experts are naturally thorns in the side of all ninja villages.
With Sunagakure's announcement, Matsushita Taichi's days are numbered.
At the same time, there will probably be some activity within Konoha as well. After all, Konoha has many geniuses, but for various reasons, quite a few have also fallen.
Konoha Camp.
When Taiyi and Yangping appeared in the tent, the first few people to arrive breathed a sigh of relief.
The sound of his exhalation was so distinct that it startled everyone for a moment before they burst into laughter.
This experience was so thrilling! They were just a hair's breadth away from total annihilation; even if they hadn't been wiped out, they would have lost one or two men.
Everyone has now safely returned to camp; they are truly blessed with good fortune.
After laughing, a deep sense of exhaustion washed over me. Two days of desperate fleeing hadn't bothered me before, but now that I'd relaxed, the exhaustion was unbearable.
"Taiyi, we're too tired. Let's take a nap first, and we can talk about other things after we've rested."
-
Yangping, who was speaking, was too lazy to even open his eyes. He groped his way to the bed, lay down to rest without even taking off his clothes.
Upon seeing this, Taiichi immediately said, "Kakashi, you all should rest here. I'll heal your injuries."
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin nodded in unison; they were too exhausted to continue.
So they all found a place to lie down, and those without beds lay down on the floor.
In just a moment, the tent was filled with the sound of snoring, with Obito's snoring being the loudest.
At this moment, Taiyi also completed the Yin Seal again, and the cursed patterns on his body retreated back to the mark on his forehead.
Of course, preserving all my chakra is essential; there's still a lot to do today.
Taiyi examined their bodies one by one. Fortunately, most of them had only superficial injuries. With a little healing from the Palm Immortal Technique, they might not even have any scars left when they woke up.
The only serious case was Yangping, who used his Mangekyou Sharingan quite a bit during the two days of escape.
Even though he was asleep, under Taiyi's examination, the power in his eyes was constantly surging. The nervous system inside his eyes was also suffering from considerable damage.
Taiyi quickly increased the output of Yang attribute chakra to soothe the pupil power in Yangping's eyes and heal the damaged nerves.
As Taiyi treated him, Yangping's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
After a long while, Taiyi slowly withdrew his hands, stood up, looked at the crowd on the ground, and finally let out a long sigh.
Thinking about it now, it's still scary. Luckily, we had completed the research on the multi-elemental lamp array and the Flying Thunder God before, otherwise Yang Ping and the others would have really been doomed this time.
His influence on the ninja world is also increasing. First there was Sasori's death, and now Obito has awakened his Sharingan ahead of schedule. Kakashi almost died in battle today.
It seems I need to be more careful in the future. The original plot has been almost completely changed, and I'll have to rely on myself from now on.
