Chapter 228: Just a Little More and You Can Hurt My Finger

In an instant, Kirigakure turned into a sea of fire.

The flames burned the air, describing waves of air. The entire village was filled with explosions and screams. This was the first time that the Kiri Ninjas had seen someone release such powerful fire ninjutsu. The range of these techniques covered the entire Kirigakure.

A feeling of despair emerged in the hearts of every Kiri Ninja.

A Kiri Ninja looked at the pillars of fire that were spewing out and blankly retreated a few steps before collapsing to the ground, “Is this… Akatsuki’s power?”

“Suiton, Suijinchū (Water Release: Water Formation Pillar)!”

A huge ball of water suddenly rushed into the sky and then scattered to destroy Pillar of Flame. The water vapor immediately began to appear in this area.

The person who put out the fire was Terumi.

Unfortunately, even if she extinguished the flames here, she would not be able to extinguish the flame in the entire Kirigakure. In the entire Kirigakure, there were still tens of thousands of pillars of fire!

“Stand up!”

Terumi had recovered from his initial shock and loudly ordered, “Everyone, immediately go and organize the civilians in the village to take refuge and extinguish the fire!”

At this moment, Terumi was like in the past, becoming the backbone of the Kiri Ninjas. She waved her hand to gather the surrounding Kiri Ninjas and issued orders to them, asking them to form their own teams to go to Kirigakure’s various places to rescue.

However, this time, the scope of Kirigakure’s disaster was too large, and the Kiri Ninjas who had surrounded Uehara and the others had no choice but to retreat and go to rescue.

After Terumi gave her order, there was only a small team of the Anbu left beside her, and this small team was also waiting for her orders.

Perhaps it was because she spoke too much, but Terumi’s voice sounded a little tired, “Immediately send a carrier pigeon to deliver the order. Have the troops stationed near Sanbi leave a small team behind and the others will rush to support. Make sure they return to the village within four hours!”

“Yes, Terumi-sama!”

This Anbu did not hesitate at all. He turned around and disappeared in front of Terumi and the others with a few leaps.

Another Anbu finally could not hold it in and asked in a deep voice, “Terumi-sama, according to the information we received, Akatsuki’s target has always been Bijuu. What if they just use the excuse of attacking Kirigakure…”

“I know, Chojuro.”

Terumi shook her head with an ugly expression. She looked at the distant figures who were dressed in black robes, and said in a low voice, “If not for the lack of manpower in the village, I would never have thought of mobilizing the ninja forces there. We have to protect the village first before we have the chance to protect Sanbi from falling into the enemy’s hands.”

There was one more thing that Terumi did not say.

That was that she did not have the slightest confidence to repel Akatsuki’s invasion.

In the face of a situation that was strong enough to make people not dare to reverse, the will to fight became somewhat insignificant.

Terumi did not think that Kirigakure could defeat Akatsuki’s members.

If the information from Konoha was correct, then Akatsuki’s goal was Sanbi. Perhaps after she transferred the help from outside the village, the Akatsuki might retreat.

Sanbi was just a Bijuu.

Terumi looked at the last two Anbu members beside her and continued to instruct, “Chojuro, Ichiro, you should go to other places to help! Leave this place to me!”

“Terumi-sama!”

“Terumi-sama!”

The two Anbu involuntarily raised their heads and looked at Terumi in disbelief. There were thousands of ninjas stationed in the entire Kirigakure. How could they let Terumi fight alone?

“It doesn’t matter.”

Terumi shook his head and said in a low voice, “You won’t be of much use here. If you go to other places, you might be able to save more people…”

“But…”

The Kiri Anbu looked at Uehara and the others in the distance and gritted his teeth, “The other side still has three people. Even if it’s just a distraction, we can still hold two enemies for Terumi-sama!”

“Yes!”

The other Kiri Anbu firmly said, “I have been working hard to become Terumi-sama’s future Protector!”

The two Jiri Anbu refused to leave.

Perhaps because they knew the threat Terumi was about to face, the two Kiri Anbu tried to refuse Terumi’s order and insisted on staying to fight together.

“Hey, I think there seems to be some dispute between you two.”

Uehara looked at this scene and smiled. He suddenly interrupted Terumi and the Anbu, attracting their attention.

Hidden in a hat, Uehara let out a sinister laugh. He slowly spread out his palm and said with a chuckle, “Your Excellency Terumi, why don’t I help you kill both of them so that you don’t have to quarrel?”

“Retreat!”

Terumi shouted coldly. One kick after another sent the two Kiri Anbu flying. In the next moment, a pillar of fire suddenly emerged from where the two Kiri Anbu had stood!

The two Kiri Anbu had some lingering fears.

If Terumi had not acted quickly, the two of them would have been burned to ashes by the flames spewing out from the ground just now.

Terumi waved her hand and shouted, “Now that you two have seen it, you will only be a hindrance if you stay here. Leave immediately!”

“Yes!”

With no other choice, the two Kiri Anbu could only fly away.

Uehara looked at Terumi who was alone and shook his head. He sighed and said, “Your Excellency Terumi, you are the only one left. You look so lonely…”

“Hehe… Do you think you can take me down?”

Terumi curled the corners of his mouth and revealed an ambiguous smile. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a lump of acidic fog, “Futton, Kōmu no Jutsu (Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique)!”

The fog rushed towards Uehara and the others!

The buildings on the street were gradually eroded by the acid mist. Deidara and Sasori could not help but frown.

This kind of boiling release was a troublesome Bloodline Limit!

Especially for Sasori, if he were to fight with Terumi, he might not be able to gain any benefits. After all, the attack area of the boiling release was too large, and his puppet or even the puppet strings might be corroded.

“Tsk, a woman’s mouth shouldn’t be poisonous…”

Uehara gently waved his hand and a strong gust of wind blew past, completely blowing away the sour fog. He slowly looked up at Terumi and said, “If your mouth is sweeter, I believe that many people will like you.”

“Hehe, I will learn.”

Terumi put on a smile, her eyebrows slightly curved. At this moment, it was as if they were not fighting but chatting.

As for her mood, it wasn’t that good.

If that Akatsuki member on the opposite side was very skilled in Wind Ninjutsu, then it would be equivalent to directly making her Boiling Release Bloodline Limit unable to be used.

This battle was very tricky.

No, it could even be said that there was no chance of winning.

Terumi had never met an enemy as powerful as Uehara. In the battle, he used the most casual attitude to show his strength.

Uehara slowly stretched out his palm in the direction of Terumi and said softly, “Fūton, Daitoppa(Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)!”

A gust of wind instantly blew in the direction of Terumi!

The buildings along the street were all destroyed by the wind, and the ground was also plowed into a deep gully!

“Suiton, Suijinchū (Water Release: Water Formation Pillar)!”

Terumi gritted her teeth, and a strong stream of water gushed out of her mouth to resist the attack. Her face was extremely nervous, “Can ordinary C-level wind ninjutsu be able to exert such a powerful force? “

“Fūton, Kazekiri no Jutsu (Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique)!”

A blade of wind directly cut through the water wall, revealing a huge hole!

“You are quite a good woman…”

Uehara looked at Terumi who was hiding in the water wall and said something that made people not understand. In fact, what he meant was that Terumi thought that he was picking up food in the garbage dump many years ago and thought that he was very pitiful and gave him a biscuit.

Who would have thought that the next moment, Terumi would suddenly laugh and lazily stretch out her waist, “Where do you think I’m good?”

“…”

Just as Uehara was sizing her up, Terumi’s expression suddenly changed. She opened her mouth and spat out an orange acid that covered the sky, “Yōton, Yōkai no Jutsu(Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique)!”

This acid directly covered the heads of the three of them!

If this acid fell, Sasori and Deidara would definitely not be able to escape. The two of them might even be severely injured!

This woman, no wonder she was able to make Kirigakure submit to her from head to toe. It was definitely not because she was beautiful!

Her strength was also very strong.

At the very least, her double Bloodline Limit almost completely restrained them.

Both Deidara and Sasori couldn’t help but flash a touch of surprise on their faces. Sasori hurriedly manipulated the puppets of Third and Fourth Kazekage, intending to release their magnetic release defensive ninjutsu.

“Don’t panic.”

Uehara comforted them and slowly raised his finger. “Spirit’s Refuge!”

A purple energy shield appeared around them and enveloped them. This was a group invincible skill.

The orange acid fell under the energy shield but could not corrode it. The acid could only flow down along the light shield and gradually fell to the ground to corrode the floor.

Just as Uehara removed his energy defense, Terumi, who was in the distance, rushed in their direction with a determined look on her face, “Do you think you can escape? Go to hell! Akatsuki’s monsters! Katon, Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu)!”

A volley of small fireballs actually gushed out from her mouth! This woman could actually release fire ninjutsu, and it was also Uchiha’s fire ninjutsu!

No, this doesn’t seem to be anything to be surprised about. After all, there are many chakra attributes in Terumi’s body, and one of her skills is the composition of water and fire…

The small fireball did not land on Uehara and the others but on the acid surrounding them!

A moment later, when the flames landed on the acid, it immediately caused a violent explosion. The entire street was affected, and the buildings on the street were instantly destroyed!

That acid was actually could be exploded by fire!

Terumi suddenly activated her hidden move. This was her real killing move. After all, she never expected that acid could kill Akatsuki’s members.

Even Terumi herself was forced back by the shockwave of the explosion!

Just as Terumi was gasping for breath and looking at the quiet street after the violent explosion, she felt slightly relieved in her heart.

The timing she picked was very good. The moment the strange purple energy light shield disappeared, it was definitely the time that the members of Akatsuki were unable to defend against.

According to Terumi’s judgment, even if Akatsuki and the others had strange ninjutsu, it was impossible for them to be unscathed in this explosion. There should be two deaths and one serious injury…

If it was a little more optimistic, all three of them might have been killed by the explosion!

However, when the smoke and dust of the explosion dispersed, Terumi looked at the three figures in black robes with astonishment. They did not even move at all.

“Hey!”

Deidara grinned at Terumi and said with a chuckle, “This woman’s methods are really sharp! I acknowledge your art!”

Sasori looked at the surroundings that had been destroyed by the explosion expressionlessly and whispered, “Judging from the power of the explosion, it seems that this woman spat out something called nitric acid and then detonated it with fire…”

“It is indeed amazing.”

Uehara looked at Terumi in the distance and praised softly, “The weak in the world always find a chance to defeat the strong through various novel tactics. I have to say, Your Excellency Terumi’s tactics were indeed worthy of praise just now.”

Uehara flipped his palm and continued with a smile, “It’s really worthy of praise. Just a little more and you would have been able to hurt my finger…”
