Chapter 33 - thirty three

Jiyuu had setup the ambush location on a slope according to the systems instructions, so that water would drain away faster even if the enemy was to use a wide area water release technique.

The enemy was closing in on them, as the enemy reached nearer to a particular area jiyuu exploded an explosion tag. The enemy did a backflip and avoided the explosion. Jiyuu could see the enemy properly now, It was a lady in black who wore a mask. There was a particular thin sword that looked like a needle held behind her. But after seeing this particular sword jiyuu knew they were in trouble.

Jiyuu [ one of the famous seven ninja swords of the mist...The Nuibari .... system we need to divert her to me .... we can't let her go towards jiraiya his Transparent Escape Technique might be detected ...]

Things didn't go as jiyuu planned, Tsumugi started making hand seals and used the hiding in mist technique, soon the entire area was under the cover of the mist and she disappeared into the mist. jiyuu was unable to detect the opponent with his spiritual sense .

Jiyuu [ system what is happening ...]

{ beep...The opponent probably has a kekkei genkai, like that of the hozuki clan or maybe she is from the hozuki clan, which makes her almost undetectable even using spiritual sense, when she is inside the mist or in the water ....

The only way to lure the opponent towards host is by exploding the explosive tags we have already put in place in a definite pattern...

..........

}

Jiyuu started exploding the tags in a specific pattern according to the systems instructions, which first forced the opponent to reveal her location and then manipulated her path towards him, But since he hadn't planned it like this earlier, the explosion was only able to manipulate her to his general direction. The only thing he could rely on was that the continuous explosion has repelled the mist to an extent and revealed the surroundings to an extent.

But the mist was beginning to appear again, Jiyuu didn't wait and made his move. He got close to the last known location of the enemy and gave a signal to his team mates who were hiding in different locations to make a move only if he gives the signal.

As he arrived in the position he only heard a sound...

something has already punctured through his heart and he couldn't move, blood started leaking out of his mouth, as he tried to move away but something was restricting his movements, it was a string which was now passing through his heart, giving him an enormous amount of pain. He cried out....

Ahhhhhh...

He had fell numb to pain for a long time after continuous suicides, but today he felt the feeling of pain again. He could not hold himself from crying out.

The woman appeared right behind him and punctured his stomach from the behind, then appeared to his right... she was sewing him up like some loose bag which was to be sewed tight.

Jiyuu snapped out of it and threw explosive tags and dynamic shurikens all around him and exploded all of it together. At the same time he also used the explosion style all over his body, it was like a suicide bomber trying to take his opponents with him.

Thankfully this time the area of effect, of the explosion was wide and Tsumugi couldn't escape completely, and he has also used a special poison on the shurikens. She was hurt and poisoned. But jiyuu was more affected than her, his whole body was burned and lacerated. Both Jiraya and Tsunade had gotten closer but before they could do anything to help, jiyuu had used the kamikaze attack, they were also little affected by the explosion but not as severely as the other two.

Jiraya wanted to move forward to continue the attack and take Tsumugi down, but jiyuu stopped him while still being held by Tsunade.

Jiyuu " let's retreat..."

Tsunade " no you shouldn't move.."

Jiyuu " I have a special kekkei genkai, which will heal me very fast... jiraiya help me we should move fast she is not someone that we can deal with....."

Even though jiyuu's whole face was charred, jiraiya could still feel the seriousness in his eyes. So he did as jiyuu said and carried him on his back and moved towards the direction of the leaf. Tsunade still concerned, tagged along checking upon jiyuu every now and then.
