Chapter 21: This Ninja is Clearly Powerful, but Pretends to be Weak (New Book Seeking Collection!) When Xia Yan was young, he thought that things like business wars and power struggles were all kinds of high IQ, high-end, classy intellectual battles. When experts clashed, there would be hidden currents, intricate connections, and it could be considered a war without gunpowder. But as he grew up, several news stories shattered his beautiful illusions. Partners arranging employees to post explicit images on a rival company's app, and then reporting it themselves. Ministers personally leading thirty strong men to directly seize official seals and tear up business licenses. Founders of listed companies sneaking over the wall to secretly film their competitors' secrets. Chairmen hiring people to break into rival companies' safes... False business wars: scheming and plotting, tit for tat. Real business wars: right at your doorstep! The most high-end business wars often employ the simplest methods!
The ninjas who were transferred to the Hokage world were the same. False struggles: inciting public opinion to suppress, using power to harm, utilizing superior strategic deployment abilities, using the enemy's strength to crush your own power. Real struggles: immediately dispatching ninjas for assassination. As for his group, they never used any fancy methods! Straightforwardness was their style! However, at the same time, it was also the most effective method. And so, today. Xia Yan had a smile on his face as he looked at jewelry on the street, seemingly planning to buy a few pieces as gifts for his wives. Several Root ninjas slowly approached. They acted inconspicuously, as if they were ordinary customers strolling around. There were also honest vendors selling their wares, occasionally causing some arguments. But suddenly, Xia Yan abruptly woke up and sensed that something was wrong. "Who are you? What do you want?" He exclaimed in shock and reached for his kunai. "Attack!" The Root ninjas never thought they could hide until the end. After all, Xia Yan was also a ninja. Even if he had fallen, his instincts remained, and they couldn't give him too many opportunities. They made a quick decision and attacked directly. In the next second, Several kunai were shot out like a shower of stars.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" Xia Yan clapped his hands together and quickly formed hand seals. A wall of earth blocked the kunai's attack. "Damn it! Who are you people? How dare you attack openly on the streets of Konoha?" He shouted, continuously retreating. At this moment, the surrounding pedestrians also reacted and instantly screamed in fear, running for their lives. In their eyes, there was also a hint of disbelief. This was Konoha! The strongest ninja village, Konoha! Even during several Great Ninja Wars, Konoha Village had never been attacked. Now, someone dared to commit violence openly in Konoha Village? The Root ninjas remained expressionless, completely ignoring everyone else. Their target was only Xia Yan. Xia Yan activated his Sharingan, fighting and retreating at the same time. Although the fight was brief, it was still evident how powerful the enemy was. "One Jonin, one Special Jonin, two Elite Chunin... This is a complete Jonin team!" "What is the Third Hokage doing? How could he allow ninjas of this level to walk into the village so openly?" "Without our Uchiha's Guard Division, can't the village even protect its own citizens anymore?!" He shouted angrily. But his actions did not hesitate as he continued to retreat. "Chase!" The leader of the Jonin team ordered without hesitation. Although this place was not the center of the village, it was still a bustling area. Konoha ninjas could arrive to support at any moment. Although Danzo had arranged the patrolling ninjas far away, creating a gap in defense, he couldn't control the passing ninjas!
Time is running out. All kinds of ninjutsu are naturally thrown away without any cost. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless stalls were blasted into debris by ninjutsu. But Xia Yan was still running around, alive and kicking. Just a Chūnin like Xia Yan, actually able to dodge the attacks of myself and others with the sharp vision brought by the Sharingan and a bit of luck... "Damn it, Uchiha is really troublesome!" The Jōnin team leader felt anxious in his heart.
Time is indeed urgent! Sure enough! The more worried you are, the more likely problems will arise. "Someone actually dares to make a move in the village? Do they think we Konoha Shinobi are all dead?" A loud roar, and a man dressed in a dark green bodysuit appeared. Might Guy! The Jōnin team leader's eye twitched. This guy is an Elite Jōnin, and I'm no match for him... "Haruki, you go hold him back!" "Yes." A special Jōnin received the order. Although Might Guy's reputation is slightly weaker than Kakashi's, sending a special Jōnin to hold him back basically confirms the death of this special Jōnin. But after all, Root is an organization that is determined to complete the mission, so no one's expression changed. The remaining three continued to chase Xia Yan. "Xia Yan? Who are you people?!" Anko, dressed in a fishnet outfit, also stood up with a serious expression. The Jōnin made a decisive decision: "Kōtarō, you go hold her back!" Anko's strength is not weak. Although she is not as strong as Might Guy, her ninjutsu taught by Orochimaru is quite troublesome. He left behind the weakest Chūnin in the team. But as they continued to chase... The nearby patrol team finally arrived. The Jōnin team leader had to leave the last special Jōnin to entangle the guard ninja and chase after Xia Yan alone. But after a few exchanges, the distance between them had already closed. Of course, Xia Yan was also about to reach the Uchiha clan's residence. But... "You can't escape!" The Jōnin's eyes revealed a fierce look, about to make a move. Xia Yan's voice was filled with fear: "Kakuzu, save me!" "It's useless. With this distance, no one can save you. I--" The Jōnin was about to make a move. The next second. Xia Yan suddenly turned around. The expression that should have been filled with fear was calmly terrifying. His Chakra suddenly erupted.
Taking a deep breath, he suddenly exhaled. Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Arrow! The raging flames suddenly spewed out. In almost an instant, the surroundings turned into a sea of fire. The air temperature rapidly rose, heat waves surged, and the red flames soared. The Jōnin team leader was the first to bear the brunt. He rushed too fast, leaving no room for escape. So in almost an instant, he was burned by the raging fire, directly engulfed. "You--" The Jōnin only managed to shout in fear before immediately falling silent. In his eyes, there was a strong sense of doubt. You're clearly so strong, why did you pretend to be weak and run away until now? ..... Great discounts on books for the Dragon Boat Festival!
