Chapter 55: Cloud Hidden Elite Jonin Frodo

Yamanaka Chujiu's voice was steady and powerful, filled with confidence and certainty.

Hearing his command, his comrades responded in unison: "Yes!"

The synchronized response conveyed an even stronger sense of confidence, bordering on fanaticism, which left the fifteen sheltered Konoha Ninja stunned.

The First Mixed Reconnaissance Squad had arrived ahead of time, having already surveyed the terrain and set up a simple ambush position.

Yamanaka Chujiu pulled Nara Luye over, checked the position from the perspective of the pursuers, and ensured it would not be discovered too early.

Nara Luye said: "Actually, there is no need to be so meticulous. The pursuing Cloud Ninja are burning with rage, and coupled with the exhaustion of running for dozens of kilometers, they will not—and cannot—scout carefully."

Yamanaka Chujiu said: "To achieve success, one must painstakingly delve into the details."

"No one can guarantee whether the Cloud Ninja might act irrationally; if our ambush is forced to trigger early because of some exposed detail, our comrades will have to pay with their lives."

Nara Luye was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "It is truly fortunate to be able to fight under your command."

Yamanaka Chujiu gave a cold snort: "Nonsense, if you comrades pay with your lives, I myself will be in danger."

Yamanaka Chujiu's calculations were off; the Cloud pursuit team lost their target halfway and spent a full forty minutes longer than expected before finding accurate clues to catch up.

When they appeared on the circular map of the Mind Severing Realm, the Konoha Ninja had already rested for over an hour, which could be said to be well-rested, to the point of being a bit impatient.

When the two sides closed to within five or six hundred meters, the Cloud Ninja discovered the intentionally left clues, which triggered the pursuit force's emotional agitation.

Yamanaka Chujiu sneered as he scattered his Thought Threads, wrapping them around the forty Cloud Ninja, continuously heightening their agitated emotions and detonating the anger caused by their previous losses, completely destroying their composure.

Even from such a distance, the Konoha Ninja could not hear what the Cloud Ninja were shouting, but everyone felt the restless chakra fluctuations.

A thought emerged in the minds of the Konoha Ninja: 【This is a sure win!】

They restrained their own chakra fluctuations even more carefully, even making their breathing as light as possible, staring fixedly at the direction of the enemies, silently preparing their Ninjutsu to attack the enemies.

The Cloud Ninja appeared in their field of vision, and no Konoha Ninja rashly launched an attack.

But as the Cloud Ninja drew closer, the fifteen Konoha Ninja who did not understand Yamanaka Chujiu began to feel anxious and nervous, which was immediately calmed down by Yamanaka Chujiu.

Until the last Cloud Ninja entered the optimal attack range, Yamanaka Chujiu issued the attack command through the Communication Snake this time:

"Kill!!"

Exploding along with the shouts of "Kill" was the roar of detonating Explosive Tags.

Gravel and dust splashed up, shrouding the Cloud Ninja; the Cloud Ninja subconsciously performed life-saving Ninjutsu, transforming from a forty-man combat unit into forty individual ninja.

Ninja themselves are fragile, yet Ninjutsu power is extremely immense; when ninja form squads to support each other and compensate for each other's shortcomings, they become very resilient and hard to kill.

But individual ninja are not that difficult to deal with.

Even the so-called toughest Cloud Hidden Jonin cannot withstand the simultaneous attack of nine Ninjutsu!

The Konoha Ninja who had been trained by Yamanaka Chujiu were waiting for this exact opportunity; they tacitly acted in squad units, using a quantity that exceeded any ninja's limit of endurance to unleash Ninjutsu on the same Cloud Ninja.

Six Cloud Ninja were covered by the Ninjutsu and turned into blood mist filling the sky or ashes rising into the air on the spot.

Coupled with the attacks from the fifteen Konoha Ninja and the Uchiha Squad, the first wave of attacks reduced the Cloud Ninja's numbers by a quarter.

Immediately following, Shuriken and Kunai rained down upon the Cloud Ninja, sending them scurrying like rats.

The formidable Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Tekka, and Shisui Uchiha activated their Sharingan, quickly forming hand seals, and continuously unleashed Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu, and other Fire Release techniques.

The civilian ninja of the attack squad were slightly less efficient, but they were numerous enough to unleash a greater quantity of Fire Release Ninjutsu.

Clusters of scorching flames formed a sea of fire, sweeping across most of the ambush circle; the Cloud Ninja had absolutely no room to dodge and were swallowed by the flames one after another, their screams rising and falling.

Under two rounds of strikes, the Cloud Ninja fell into complete chaos, unable to organize effective defense or counterattacks, and could only be picked off one by one by the Konoha Ninja.

Just then, a black figure like a demon god rushed out from the flames.

His entire body was wrapped in violent Lightning Release chakra, shielding him from the damage of the flames; Kunai and Shuriken shot at him, only to bounce off with a metallic clanging sound.

This Cloud Ninja was tall and muscular, with a ferocious face and a black Goggles worn over his left eye.

Cloud Hidden Elite Jonin, Frodo.

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered as he rushed out of the flames, he flew into a rage: "Konoha scum, how dare you set an ambush and launch a sneak attack!"

"Taste my Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Slash!"

Yamanaka Chujiu commanded: "Shisui, pin him down!"

"Be careful, use Genjutsu to control him, do not try to kill him directly; the enemy has mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his defensive power is extremely strong!"

Shisui Uchiha immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to meet him, grabbing his fingers before Frodo could react.

Frodo was an Elite Jonin, and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode granted him extremely fast reaction speeds, yet he was still disrupted by Shisui, breaking his hand seal movements and interrupting the execution of his Ninjutsu.

Shocked and furious, Frodo dared not form seals again; he condensed Lightning Release chakra, blasting countless electric arcs from his entire body, which slithered around like small snakes.

Shisui Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique to move away before the electric arcs could hit him, but returned to his front using the Body Flicker Technique before Frodo could catch his breath.

Frodo was greatly shocked: "How can there be such a fast Body Flicker Technique?"

Immediately, he discovered a cold glint shooting straight at his eyes from the left, and he hurriedly raised his hands to block his eyes.

With a "clang," Shisui's Short Sword collided with his palms, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Yamanaka Chujiu secretly praised: "Well done!"

Frodo's hand-raising speed was too fast; clearly, he had been prepared to shield his eyes all along.

He would not have anticipated that Shisui's Body Flicker speed could be this fast; he could only be guarding against the Uchiha's Sharingan Genjutsu.

Shisui Uchiha had guessed that the enemy would be on guard, so he did not use Genjutsu right away, but instead deliberately attacked the enemy's eyes.

Then, Shisui continuously used the Body Flicker Technique, circling Frodo and stabbing repeatedly, attacking his ear canals, throat, armpits, the backs of his knees, his crotch, and his rear.

Especially under Yamanaka Chujiu's suggestion, he focused on using Anal Gouging Tactics, forcing Frodo to jump around frantically and roar repeatedly:

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"
