Chapter 182

He casually blocked the enemy's attack.

Dong Shilang was completely unhurried at this moment.

Just like the rock jonin named Gangshan thought at the beginning.

He just needed to wait for his comrades to take out those chunin who had just escaped from his hands.

After that, whether it's his current opponent or the hidden rock jonin, they're all fish on the chopping block.

Besides fleeing, there was no other option!

A beast that had lost its fangs and claws, no matter how strong it once was, could only meet a tragic end when faced with hunters' encirclement.

In a spot unnoticed by the fighters, a round, dark brown stone ball lay quietly on the grass.

It wasn't large, just slightly bigger than a normal adult's eyeball, and through the grass blocking its view, it was observing the battlefield.

This was exactly the scouting ninjutsu employed by the underground-hidden jonin Gangshan, whose principle was somewhat similar to the Sand Eye in the original work.

To avoid being detected by the Sharingan, it dared not reveal its presence and could only hide in the shadows to spy.

"Now it's troublesome!"

After assessing the situation, Gangshan jonin's face had darkened like the bottom of a pot, but at this moment he was hidden underground with no light around, so his expression couldn't be seen.

And he said that precisely because of the current situation.

Although he reacted quickly when the attack came, he only managed to block part of the second wave.

At first, facing those astonishingly fast flame bombs, he could only protect himself and help a few nearby companions block the attack.

By the third wave, he could only hide underground to preserve his own safety.

The enemy's offensive was incredibly relentless!

Not only that, it was highly targeted as well!

As the jonin leading the team, he was looked after quite a bit! He was the first to be attacked. If it weren't for his quick reaction, the situation wouldn't be much better.

From the start of the ambush, their fate was basically sealed unless he was willing to sacrifice his life and block these attacks at all costs.

At this point they could be said to have been completely forced into a defensive stance; their three special jonin, though they had not sacrificed.

They still sustained various injuries to differing degrees! Furthermore, one of them was a sensor ninja, whose true combat strength equaled only that of an elite chunin.

After the enemy's ambushers and another Sharingan ninja each tied down two of their side's high-end combatants, the enemy still had a pair of Sharingan left, closely watching the battlefield's changes to guard against their own ambush.

I have no confidence I could kill a Sharingan ninja quickly, even if the opponent looks young.

Our side's chunin forces are now at an absolute numerical disadvantage compared to the enemy's nearly four combat squads of small fry.

Our side now has only six chunin forces left, completely different from the start.

Each person has to deal with two enemies!

This can't be sustained!

What's worse, many of them also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Burns of various sizes, plus many wounds from kunai, were constantly draining their spirit and stamina.

The Stone Eye slowly turned, gazing at the initial ambush observer, carefully watching his every move.

It seems the breakthrough in this battle can only be found here…

Clang!

He blocked the attack again, the stone staff sweeping toward his waist, and Dong Shilang felt his right arm go numb from the shock, involuntarily sucking in a breath of cold air.

Facing the opponent's desperate fighting style, he felt quite helpless!

After revealing his form, the opponent directly condensed from the ground beneath his feet a black stone staff about two meters long and as thick as a goose egg, launching a fierce attack at him.

Just by eye, he knew this weapon wasn't light; swinging it made the nearby air hum. When it clashed with his ninja blade, the sound was off—he would rather believe it was an iron rod than a stone staff.

Every attack was heavy and powerful!

Relying on the advantage of his long weapon, the opponent made him somewhat flustered, and whenever he couldn't avoid it, clashing head-on let him keenly feel the opponent's killing intent toward him.

It was completely a desperate, all-out style that gave him no chance to breathe. Meanwhile, the opponent was also very careful, never allowing their lines of sight to collide with his.

【Do you think just blocking the Sharingan is enough?】

Dong Shilang, having gathered a bit of strength, was not prepared to keep delaying.

「Illusion·Naraku Seeing Technique! 」

After being repelled by the opponent once again, Dong Shilang seized the moment of his retreat, formed seals with his left hand, and cast this illusion technique not exclusive to the Sharingan.

As the grandson of Uchiha Zhili and also a transmigrator, his mental energy was quite outstanding.

If he only studied Sharingan illusion techniques, that would be too regrettable!

「Pingzi! 」

Right after Dong Shilang finished forming his seals, this rock ninja, short but stout, unable to contain his emotions, let out a loud shout.

At the same time he gripped his stone staff tightly and began swinging it through the surrounding air, paying no heed to the enemies nearby.

How could it be, how could Pingzi appear here, she wasn't already been given by the Leaf Village ninja...

Seeing his teammates deeply trapped in the encirclement, this rock ninja momentarily failed to react. If he remembered correctly, the opponent had already died at the hands of a Leaf Village ninja not long before.

How could it appear before my eyes at this time?

Oh no!

Indeed an elite of the rock ninjas, merely a brief moment of distraction, this special Jonin who had caused Dong Shilang considerable trouble had already reacted by now, realizing he had fallen under a Genjutsu.

Release!

Not daring to delay the slightest, he immediately formed a sword seal with one hand, attempting to disrupt his own chakra flow to dispel this Genjutsu.

Although he was also happy to see Pingzi's appearance again, at this moment he had not forgotten that he was still battling a Leaf Village ninja.

He could only hope to avenge Pingzi, to lessen the regret in his heart~
