Chapter 99 - Ch 99: Battle of Wits

Looking at the explosion he had created, Tatsumi sat down on the ground.

His tense body could no longer hold on.

He suddenly felt a little dizzy.

He didn't know if it was a sequela from the battle with the Jonin just now.

Tatsumi stood up.

He wanted to see if Sakada had been blown to pieces by the explosive tags.

The smoke cleared,

and the bloody scene that Tatsumi had expected did not appear on the ground.

What remained on the ground were traces of Earth Release being used.

Pieces of broken walls were piled together. The earth wall was torn apart by the explosive tags.

A pale hand suddenly stretched out from under the wall.

"Hahaha, you bastard! I was almost killed by you."

Sakada's voice came.

Tatsumi's face darkened; he recognized this ninjutsu—Earth Release: Multiple Earth Style Wall.

It seemed that at the last moment, Sakada used Earth Release to block the explosion of the explosive tags.

As expected of a Jonin.

Sakada's hand pushed away a stone, and then his head was revealed.

Only his hair had been burnt. It turned into dust and scattered in the wind.

"Damn it! If anyone tells me again that Konoha's Genin are easy to beat, I'll beat him so badly that his own mother won't recognize him!"

Sakada sat on the ground, with stinging sensations constantly coming from his hands and body.

The burnt and charred flesh gave off a smell of grilled meat.

These were all the places that were injured by the explosive tags just now.

His original yellow ninja uniform was also tattered, and his body was covered in blood stains.

Fresh blood kept flowing from his mouth and ears.

Only the black-rimmed glasses were intact and unaffected by the explosion.

If he wasn't a ninja specializing in Earth Release, and if he hadn't instantly formed hand seals at the last moment of life and death, then he would have already died in the explosive tags.

This bastard!

Tatsumi gasped for breath, and a kunai appeared in his hand.

It was a bit far, and genjutsu was not easy to use.

The kunai was still shot out of Tatsumi's hand.

The super-strength kunai, like a cannonball, shot directly towards Sakada's head.

The injured Sakada did not react.

It's all over, Tatsumi gasped for breath.

However, the kunai aimed at Sakada's head flew past Sakada's ear.

The severe pain woke Sakada up!

"What's going on!?"

Tatsumi shook his head.

Why,

it shouldn't be,

why didn't it hit!?

Tatsumi's arm throbbed with pain, and he looked at his arm.

The arm that was scratched by Sakada's kunai was now tinged with purple.

The kunai actually had poison!

"There's poison in your kunai?" Tatsumi raised his head.

Sakada covered his ears.

"That's right, it was intentional for you to hit me with that punch. I deliberately showed a flaw and was careless; it was just an appearance. It was just to scratch you."

"I just didn't expect your punch to be so powerful, and then I fell into your trap. What is Tsunade to you?"

"My teacher, are you afraid?" Tatsumi laughed.

"Hmm, indeed very scary. The orphan of Uchiha Kagami, Tsunade's student. You, a Genin, can actually fight a Jonin like me to this extent, you can be proud. I'm a little reluctant to kill you."

"As expected, the poison of the Sand Ninja is not a false rumor." Tatsumi felt the poison spreading in his wound.

"Now I have two good news to tell you, which one do you want to hear?" Sakada smiled.

Tatsumi and Sakada were both talking nonsense.

One was stalling for time, waiting for Tsunade to arrive.

The other was recovering chakra. The Earth Release just now had almost exhausted Sakada's chakra, and the injuries on his body also made him very painful.

Most importantly, Sakada was waiting for the poison to erupt.

The little devil on the opposite side was too evil, making him unsure if the other party had any trump cards.

"I like to hear good news." Tatsumi patted the dust off his body.

"Good news, this poison is a new poison that has just been developed. It has not been fully developed yet. You are very lucky, under this poison, you can still hold on for forty minutes without dying."

"Then what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that there is no antidote to this poison yet. And I can kill you within ten minutes!"

Before he finished speaking, Sakada's figure quickly approached Tatsumi.

A short knife appeared in Sakada's hand, and he waved his hand, the short knife striking towards Tatsumi's back.

At the moment when the other party's short knife struck, Tatsumi's genjutsu covered his head.

Sakada's footsteps stopped.

Tatsumi couldn't completely believe Sakada's words.

Ninjas are deception, deceiving others, deceiving their own people.

The most powerful ninja is to deceive himself.

Judging from the slightly purple arm just now, it was indeed not a deadly poison.

There would be no problems in a short time, but if he maintained this intense battle state for a long time, let alone forty minutes, half an hour, or even twenty minutes, this chronic venom would spread throughout Tatsumi's body.

In other words, Tatsumi must resolve the Sand Ninja Jonin in front of him within twenty minutes in order to ensure his own survival.

And he couldn't engage in intense taijutsu battles.

Sakada, who had broken free from the genjutsu, held a short knife and appeared behind Tatsumi.

However, Tatsumi did not make any movements.

"Have you given up, kid?"

Sakada's short knife slashed at Tatsumi.

But,

Tatsumi turned into a cloud of smoke.

"Shadow clone!!?"

Sakada was stunned.

What's the situation?

The one who chatted with him for so long was a shadow clone!

Want to run after showing off!?
