Chapter 370: Ninja

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!" Following an old man's loud shout, the ground shook as if it were the surface of water, and a huge vortex appeared.

An Earth Dragon, two meters in diameter and over twenty meters long, with two horns on its head and a body covered in scales, poked its head out, opened its blood-red maw, and began spitting stone bullets the size of human heads at Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.

Seeing this scene, all the Dongying people cheered excitedly; they knew this was their Ninja finally making a move.

"Huh! I've seen this move before; it's the Earth Release ninjutsu used by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. I never expected that the ninjutsu from the anime I used to watch would actually exist in reality. This is truly incredible."

"Great, I really hope our powerful Ninja lord can eliminate these two detestable Chinese people."

"I've decided, I'm quitting being an engineer. Even if I have to travel all over Dongying, I will seek a master to learn powerful ninjutsu and explore the ultimate mysteries of the Ninja. This is the life I want."

Everyone watched with bated breath, wanting to see if the grand Earth-style ninjutsu could eliminate Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.

"Hmph! Using Earth-style energy to conjure the image of an Earth Dragon—it's a pity that compared to Ao Bi'an, it's just a hollow shell. It might be enough to scare ordinary people, but to me, it's simply a joke."

Meng Yifan sneered and waved his right hand. In an instant, a gale whistled, and wind blades a foot long appeared out of thin air. They rotated at high speed like electric saws, emitting bursts of whistling sounds.

All the stone bullets approaching Meng Yifan were cut into powder by the wind blades, and then Meng Yifan pointed forward, sending the high-speed rotating wind blades charging toward the massive Earth Dragon.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" As the wind blades struck, another loud shout came from beneath the ground, and a city wall over twenty meters high, shimmering with earthy yellow light, rose instantly, attempting to block the wind blades' attack.

The cyan wind blades collided with the earthy yellow city wall, and the seemingly indestructible wall appeared like fragile glass; cracks appeared one after another, and then with a 'Crack!', it shattered completely.

The cyan wind blades continued unabated. The Earth Dragon, which had been continuously spitting stone bullets, could not withstand them either; it let out a mournful cry, was cut into a thousand holes, and then crumbled into a pile of small stones on the ground.

"Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp!" The Ninja underground shouted again, and the ground beneath Meng Yifan's feet instantly turned into a huge swamp. A terrifying suction force enveloped Meng Yifan's body, trying to pull him into the swamp.

"Your ninjutsu is somewhat interesting. If you were also a Fifth Grade powerhouse, you might truly be able to cause me harm. It's a pity you are merely a Third Grade Ninja; the gap in strength is too great to be countered by the sophistication of ninjutsu alone."

The reason Meng Yifan had not immediately killed the Ninja was that he wanted to see the attack methods of the Dongying Ninjas. Now, after seeing a few moves, he had roughly figured out what Dongying ninjutsu was all about.

Fundamentally, Dongying ninjutsu was all derived from the Mysterious Gate Hidden Armor of Shenzhou, only the Dongying Ninjas had added some methods of variation to the Mysterious Gate Hidden Armor, forming all sorts of strange ninjutsu.

But no matter how many changes there are, the origin remains the same; Dongying ninjutsu is just stolen Immortal Cultivation Technique from Shenzhou. They are all considered the disciples and grandchildren of the Shenzhou Cultivation World.

Back then, taking advantage of Shenzhou's weakness, Dongying used the strength of its entire nation to launch an invasion. These Ninjas and Onmyoji also launched crazy attacks on the Shenzhou Cultivation World; they are simply a bunch of bastards who betray their masters and ancestors.

"Hmph! Betraying masters and ancestors—everyone has the right to punish them. Today, I will teach you that you must respect your ancestors."

To deal with this Third Grade Ninja, Meng Yifan did not use his Fourth Grade Domain, nor did he use his Fifth Grade Supernatural Ability; that would be too much of a bully.

Meng Yifan formed a seal with his right hand and pointed at the ground. In the previously clear, cloudless sky, Lightning and Thunder suddenly appeared, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm manifested out of thin air, smashing fiercely into the swamp at his feet.

In an instant, the entire swamp was flashing with electric light. The Ninja underground was electrocuted until his whole body trembled, and black smoke was rising from his seven orifices.

This Third Grade High-Level Ninja was named Uchiha Obito. He knew he was no match for Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, but watching thousands of ordinary soldiers fighting to the death, he could not sit in the rear and watch coldly; such cowardly behavior violated the Bushido in his heart.

A true Ninja fears no enemy; even if they die, they must die on the path of the charge.

"The difference in strength is too great. It seems I can only use a Forbidden Technique." Uchiha Obito muttered. He prepared to use a Forbidden Technique to stimulate his own Life Potential to forcibly perform a powerful Fourth Grade Ninja ninjutsu.

The price of using a Forbidden Technique is very high; it consumes lifespan to forcibly increase strength. If a young Ninja were to use a Forbidden Technique, the price might be the consumption of ten or twenty years of life, turning from a young person into a middle-aged or elderly person in an instant.

And Uchiha Obito was already an old man of over seventy; his lifespan was already limited. If he consumed a large amount of lifespan to forcibly perform a Forbidden Technique, his lifespan would be completely exhausted. This was a suicidal tactic.

"I hope I can cause damage to Meng Yifan." Uchiha Obito knew the disparity in strength between the two sides was vast; even if he used a Forbidden Technique, it was impossible to kill Meng Yifan. He only hoped that his desperate strike could injure Meng Yifan and let him know that Dongying also had brave warriors who were not afraid of death and dared to fight to the end.

Uchiha Obito formed seals with his hands, tapping his glabella, heart, and dantian respectively. Then his body trembled violently, and surges of vitality emerged from within him.

Uchiha Obito's full head of white hair miraculously turned black at this moment, and the wrinkles on his face that could trap mosquitoes also miraculously disappeared, becoming as smooth as a young girl's skin.

Uchiha Obito's body, which had been frail and old, seemed to have experienced a second spring, full of vibrant life.

What surprised Uchiha Obito even more was that his body was filled with powerful energy.

"Haha, this feeling is so good. It's a pity this is just a fleeting moment, a flash of beauty. Haha, even so, it's worth it. Come on, Fourth Grade ninjutsu, Earth Release: Earth Bounce!"

"Boom—! Boom—!" The earth shook as if there were a sudden earthquake. Dongying is a country where earthquakes occur frequently, and the common people are very familiar with them, but this earthquake was different.

Everywhere else was calm, but within three hundred meters of Meng Yifan, the earth shook. A nearby thirty-plus-story reinforced concrete building collapsed instantly, and over a thousand Dongying commoners inside were buried in the ruins.

No one cared about the thousand-plus Dongying commoners who were caught in the crossfire; the eyes of the whole world were focused on that small area. Everyone just wanted to know if Meng Yifan would fall under this powerful ninjutsu.
