From Danmachi to God of Ninja

Chapter 91: Chapter 91

"It’s over."

Seeing Chiyo’s decline laid bare, Kiriya no longer hesitated.

He flashed in front of her, and the sword in his hand stabbed toward the back of her neck with the force of wind and thunder.

Pchh!

The sharp blade cut through flesh, and blood splattered.

But there was no trace of a smile on Kiriya’s face, because the "Chiyo" he had just killed quickly turned into a pile of sand and scattered.

"A sand clone? When?"

Kiriya’s heart shook, and a bad feeling immediately rose inside him.

He instinctively tried to flash away, only to discover in surprise that he could not activate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

More accurately, he could no longer use chakra.

He lowered his head and saw a mysterious pattern spreading beneath his feet.

A sealing technique.

Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar.

It was a sealing technique that could be drawn onto the ground or a wall, instantly sealing a shinobi’s chakra.

Not only that, but at some point, two ropes had emerged from the earth beneath his feet and tightly bound his ankles.

"In the world of shinobi, chakra is everything. Now, you shouldn’t be able to use that troublesome movement technique either."

Chiyo, who had been observing from the shadows, endured the sharp pain coming from her shoulder.

That injury was the price she had paid to lure Kiriya into the trap.

She controlled all of her remaining puppets and launched a lightning-fast attack toward him.

"Father" and "Mother."

These were puppets Chiyo had specially prepared for her grandson.

She had not intended to use them here, but the situation was urgent, and she no longer had the luxury of being particular.

Clang, clang!

The two puppets extended weapons such as katana and chain saws, slashing toward Kiriya.

"As expected, I can’t underestimate any shinobi."

Facing the sudden assault of the two puppets, Kiriya’s mood became strangely calm.

He had thought that after coming to the world of Naruto and learning so many abilities, the world would be wide open for him to go wherever he wished.

Especially after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had believed he was already standing in an invincible position.

But Chiyo had used her own actions to give him a vivid lesson.

There was no invincible ninjutsu.

Only powerful people.

The reason Minato Namikaze had built such a huge reputation in the shinobi world was not only because of his unmatched speed, but also because of his grasp of battle opportunities, his calm decisiveness, and his ability to react and respond instantly.

And all of that required not only talent, but also long-term sharpening through battle.

Although Kiriya had used his powerful talent to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, he still had a long way to go before he could truly use it to its fullest potential.

Just like this time.

Chiyo used herself as bait, and with a simple sand clone, she had directly sealed off a large portion of his methods.

The timing and angle of the puppets’ attacks were also controlled perfectly, leaving him no space to dodge.

If he were truly only a native shinobi of this world, facing such a dense attack, he would probably have no choice but to pray that he was not unlucky to the extreme.

Fortunately, he was a transmigrator.

And he had plenty of strength and methods.

"Blade—Storm!"

As that low chant rang out, Chiyo saw sword light so brilliant it reached the extreme.

Slash, slash, slash!

The two puppets she had placed great hopes on had no power to resist Kiriya’s lightning-fast sword strikes.

In an instant, they were cut into scattered pieces, their limbs, torsos, and all the mechanisms inside them reduced to wreckage.

"What?" Chiyo was shocked again.

She had clearly sealed his chakra, so why could this boy still use a move like that?

’No, that’s not right... There were no chakra fluctuations. This... This was a continuous slash produced purely by physical strength? This brat... can even do something like that?’

But her shock only lasted for an instant.

She immediately made her decision.

’Run.’

As long as the mountain remained, there would always be firewood to burn. As long as she was alive, she would still have a chance to turn things around.

She still had unfinished wishes.

She still had her beloved grandson to save.

How could she die here?

As for whether the village would blame her because of this...

Chiyo could only sneer at that.

Ever since the Sandaime Kazekage, that powerful figure known as the strongest Kazekage, disappeared, Sunagakure’s strength and prestige had weakened greatly.

The reason they could still resist Konoha while being at a disadvantage was, to a large extent, because of Chiyo’s poison-making skills.

Her endless varieties of poison had left Konoha unable to guard against them and had created countless opportunities and achievements for Sunagakure.

Moreover, as an old powerhouse of Sunagakure, Chiyo was not only strong herself, but also had many supporters among the medical corps and puppeteers.

Who knew how many shinobi in the village had received her kindness?

If the village higher-ups wanted to make trouble for Chiyo... then they must be afraid Sunagakure was living too well!

In the time it took those thoughts to flash through her mind, Chiyo’s figure had already rushed into the vast forest.

"You want to run? It won’t be that easy!"

Kiriya snorted coldly and was just about to chase after her when other Sunagakure shinobi arrived.

Two jōnin.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage."

"Wind Release: Sickle Weasel."

The moment they arrived, they threw powerful Wind Release ninjutsu straight at his face.

"Don’t get in my way."

Kiriya had already left the sealing range of Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar, and his chakra had returned to normal.

He instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared behind the two of them.

The sword in his hand flashed twice in succession, taking the heads of both jōnin.

Dealing with the two attackers did not take much time.

But for someone like Chiyo, who was burning everything she had to escape, it was enough to cover a considerable distance.

During the previous battle, Kiriya had never had the chance to leave a Flying Thunder God mark on Chiyo.

The dense forest also made it impossible for him to lock onto her with kunai, so he could only chase on foot.

What left Kiriya speechless, however, was that many more shinobi had rushed over to block the route Chiyo had taken.

There were dozens of them and their faces were strangely calm.

"If you want to catch up to Lady Chiyo, you’ll have to step over our corpses."

Kiriya had always been willing to satisfy requests like that!

...

One minute later, when Kiriya slit the throat of the final Sunagakure shinobi, Chiyo had already disappeared without a trace.

Almost at the same time, a loud boom came from the direction of the valley entrance.

The passage Sunagakure had sealed was finally opened completely.

A large number of Wind Release shinobi worked together, unleashing a massive Wind Release technique that quickly dispersed all the poison gas trapped inside the valley.

"Kiriya-sama, Orochimaru-sama asks that you treat the poisoned and injured shinobi as quickly as possible."

A chūnin hurried over and spoke urgently.

"Got it." Kiriya replied, looking in the direction Chiyo had fled.

He clicked his tongue in irritation.

"Tch. Lucky old woman."

After saying that, he formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Bang, bang, bang!

As clouds of white smoke rose, more than ten shadow clones appeared around Kiriya.

"Everyone, I’ll leave it to you."

"Haha, come on. We’re all the same person here."

"Exactly, exactly. Why be so polite?"

"Let’s go, let’s go..."

The group of shadow clones all patted their chests and accepted the task, then vanished in a flash.
