Chapter 357 Assessment 3
When the fire died down, we discovered that many of the rookies who were surrounded by fire and light had spots on their bodies. Well, it had only been a short time since the second part of the assessment, and nearly one third of the rookies had been eliminated.
"Is it the fire escape technique from before?"
"Rather than calling it a fire escape, it's more like smoke. The smoke is used to blind the Hyuga family's Byakugan. No matter how powerful the Byakugan is, there's nothing you can do if they can't open it. Plus with the thick smoke blocking the view, you can see the spots on their bodies, almost all of which are on the vital parts of their torsos. It would be easy for Kazama to kill them." The Emperor of Analysis has already begun analyzing Kazama's actions.
"Hey, compared to this, these rookies still have a lot to learn." A jonin sighed.
"On the contrary, I think they should learn bow and arrow tactics, or abandon traditional ninja combat tactics and make bow and arrow tactics more popular. Otherwise, bows and arrows in their hands, like shuriken, can only serve as long-range weapons, which is a waste."
The fireworks faded, and the rookies finally reacted, "We can't go on like this. We must take the initiative, otherwise, Captain Kazama, who is hiding in the dark, will wear us down bit by bit."
"That's right. Our advantage is numbers and Byakugan. This way, we can elect a few people to use Byakugan to act as scouts, and the others can keep their Byakugans to themselves. This will save chakra, and we can also fill in the gaps when Byakugan detects something unexpected."
"Good idea, let's do it."
"Now, ten people on the periphery, open your eyes, surround the others in the middle, and the people in the middle keep an eye on the surroundings and provide help to the people on the periphery."
They are all middle and low-level ninjas of the Hyuga clan. How could they be really fools who can be bullied at will? It's just that the new and unfamiliar tactics make it difficult for them to follow. After they realized what was going on, they talked to each other and quickly made targeted adjustments.
"Oh my! Finally, there is some change." Zilai took a sip of tea with relish.
"Be careful, the rain of arrows is coming again." The outer scouts issued another warning.
"People in the inner circle are ready for defense."
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm" xx. Dozens of people's Eight Trigrams Empty Palm, no matter how many arrows there were, were intercepted in mid-air. This time, no damage was caused.
"Well, the Hyuga family is worthy of being the Hyuga family. Their response this time was very timely and correct." Someone agreed.
"The direction of the rain of arrows is over there. Immediately, increase the field of vision in this direction and search for Captain Kazama's whereabouts."
"Report, we've found his whereabouts, but Captain Kazama is moving very quickly, retreating deeper into the forest. Should we chase him?" The people on the periphery kept rolling their eyes. After determining the direction, Kazama's whereabouts became clear at a glance.
"Chase"
The rookies seemed to have found how to play the game all of a sudden, and Fengjian once again changed from the role of hunter to the rookies' prey.
On Kazama's side, he activated his perception ninjutsu and sensed that hundreds of rookies were running towards him. Were they trying to kill him?
"Kataro, are you ready? Teach them a lesson."
Kibatarō's squeaking voice came from the headset.
Hunters are not just good at archery, they can also use traps.
"Reporting target, is Captain Kazama still there?"
"It's still within sight. At our current speed, it seems we won't be able to catch up with Captain Kazama."
"It seems that we can only divide our forces to intercept. Otherwise, if this continues, we will always be Captain Fengjian's target. When to counterattack is all up to Captain Fengjian. We are too passive."
"Then divide the troops. One part will continue to pursue the captain, and the other part will outflank him."
"Understand" xx.
"Bang!" A tiny sound of air vibrations was heard, and several spiked boards suddenly popped out from where the rookies were, slapping at the pursuers. The people in the front row were startled and instinctively dodged backwards, but were hit by the ones behind them, causing them to not jump out of the range of the spiked boards and be hit hard by the spiked boards, like a mosquito being flattened. The others were far away and could still react, so they hurriedly dragged back to avoid being affected. As a result, more traps were triggered, such as spiked crossbars, flying kunai, pits on the ground, and even the detonation of unknown irritating powder, which made everyone unable to open their eyes and sneeze in different ways.
"Damn it, there are too many traps here. Everyone, don't move around. Be careful not to set off more traps. Also, be prepared to defend yourself."
It's the same as saying nothing. Everyone knows that you can't move around to trigger the trap, but now there is a trap in front of you. Should I dodge? If I don't dodge, I will be hit immediately. If I dodge, at least I have a chance of survival.
The result was that, like a domino effect, the chain reaction continued, and there were constant cries of pain. When it finally calmed down, it was discovered that there were only a few people left standing. Most people were hit by many traps. Fortunately, according to the rules, only those who were hit by arrows were eliminated, and those who were hit by traps were only considered injured. Unless someone was really seriously injured and couldn't stand up.
"Check the people around to see if anyone is seriously injured or unconscious."
"Report, I'm missing three people."
"Report, there are two missing here."
"Report, there are two missing here."
"Yes, I'm here, watch it online." The voice came from above everyone's head. They saw several unlucky guys hanging above their heads like hanged ghosts. At least they were conscious when they spoke, and some were even knocked unconscious by the traps and sticks that did not distinguish between friend and foe.
"Damn, there's one here too. Be careful and dig it out." I slipped without paying attention. When I looked closely, I saw a human head growing on the ground. After careful identification, I found that it was one of my tribesmen.
"Captain Fengjian is too insidious. The trap is too dense. There is no room for escape."
"Stop talking nonsense. Once you are on the battlefield, can you still beg the enemy to let you live?"
Leaning against the thick tree trunk and feeling the strength behind them, the rookies gradually regained their composure.
"Do we need to divide our forces now? The traps have caused us to lose some manpower. If we divide our forces, will Captain Kazama be able to defeat us one by one?"
"Can we catch up without splitting up our forces? Now I understand why we practiced running laps in the first place. Speed and endurance are too important in a chase like this."
"There are also traps. We were too focused on Captain Kazama's rain of arrows and ignored the surroundings. These traps are actually very crude. If we look more carefully, we can actually find them."
"And the spirit beasts, have you forgotten to set fire to our three wolves?"
"There is also a rain of arrows. I know that Master Fengjian has a few wind-escape archery techniques."
"Master Kazama, please show some mercy, otherwise, we would all be lying down now. However, since we haven't been eliminated yet, we still have to continue. Even if we are eliminated in the end, we have to give it our all."
"That's right" xx.
"If we continue like this, we will become too conspicuous and will definitely encounter sneak attacks from time to time. Not only will we not be able to catch up, but we will also lose manpower repeatedly. If we divide our forces, at least we will have the possibility of counterattack."
"Oh, right, make sure all the Byakugan are activated and lock onto Captain Kazama. I feel like Captain Kazama has lifted the restrictions on the Byakugan, so he must have a way to deal with it, like the irritating powder just now, or the fireworks of the three wolves, etc. If you lose any trace of Lord Kazama, report immediately."
