Chapter 94 Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning
Shen Yue Xingyun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl of average appearance. She looked at him with burning eyes and said, "My teammates don't want to join, can I join by myself?"
Shingetsu Seiun asked, "What ninjutsu do you know? Or do you have explosive tags?"
The girl said, "I can use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic/escaping technique)."
"I can probably control the shallow soil layer within ten meters."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Okay."
As the plain-looking girl's face lit up with joy, a pretty girl also blushed and raised her hand.
"nebula."
"I—I can."
"I can use water escape techniques; my attack range is approximately fifteen meters."
Just as Shen Yue Xingyun was about to say something, he noticed the girl's somewhat unnatural and shy expression and suddenly remembered that she seemed to be one of his ex-girlfriends, but he couldn't quite remember exactly when it happened.
He nodded, subtly averting his gaze.
"Is anyone else here?"
Finally, the first boy spoke up.
"I."
A short-haired boy stepped forward and said to Shenyue Xingyun, "Our team is joining."
"Instead of waiting for others, take the initiative."
"I know earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows you to use earth-based magic), and I can provide two explosive tags. Can that include all three members of the team?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "Okay."
"Alright, that's enough people."
"Just the few of us."
Before anyone else could voice their opinion, Shenyue Xingyun announced the end of the team formation. As for those who still had ideas, they simply remained silent.
Opportunities don't wait forever.
The group of eight quickly moved forward and arrived at the location of the giant stone sphere belonging to Obito Uchiha. The route here had been partially eroded by the stone sphere, so it was relatively safe.
Standing on the stone sphere that was almost level with the ground, Shenyue Xingyun looked at the distance of less than 100 meters ahead and quickly made arrangements.
First, there's the girl who's suspected to be his ex-girlfriend.
The other person stood on the stone sphere, facing the open space in front of them, and formed a hand seal.
Three seconds later, a jet of water suddenly shot out! Like a high-pressure water gun, it rushed towards the ground in front.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!~"
The sound of water lasted for two breaths. As the girl's chakra was rapidly depleted, the area within a straight line of about ten meters in front of her was completely washed clean by the water column.
Beneath the yellow sand, several small pits and traps were exposed, while most of the ground was free of traps.
After testing the waters with his katana and confirming it was safe, Shenyue Xingyun leaped forward.
"No problem here, land here."
The others quickly followed the footprints.
An ordinary-looking girl followed closely behind.
"Earth Release: Earthquake!"
With a sharp cry, the girl pressed her hands to the ground, and the ground in front of her began to undulate.
Accompanied by clanging and clattering sounds, the traps were quickly exposed and triggered as the ground deformed.
After a moment, the girl stood up, let out a long sigh, and said, "There are no traps in areas where the soil layer hasn't changed."
Shenyue Xingyun stepped forward again.
Next up is the short-haired guy.
The three of them used ninjutsu in succession. Although it was only basic C-rank ninjutsu and their skill level was average, they still advanced the distance by nearly forty meters.
They were getting quite close to the central tower gate, and the genin watching from behind began to stir.
Some regretted not joining earlier, while others felt there was still a long way to go. If the remaining people didn't all possess the ninjutsu suitable for scouting, a few explosive tags alone probably wouldn't be enough.
The short-haired guy in the team asked, "What do we do next?"
"Use explosive tags?"
As he said this, his gaze turned to Shenyue Xingyun. The latter, of course, knew what the other was thinking, and shook his head, saying, "This time we've come..."
"Asma."
Sarutobi Asuma straightened up tactically and then stood in front of the group.
"I'll do it."
Shingetsu Nebula instructed, "Asuma, act according to your ability."
"If you don't have enough chakra, make sure you're safe nearby."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes narrowed, and he quickly mobilized the chakra within his body!
As his chakra surged with all its might, he changed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
"Pfft!"
Thick smoke formed from chakra continuously spewed from his mouth, rapidly gathering five meters in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, a cloud of smoke nearly as tall as a person formed.
"Hiss!!~" Sarutobi Asuma increased the force of his breath, and as his cheeks began to turn red, the smoke began to extend and shoot forward.
Ten meters, twenty meters, twenty-five meters, twenty-eight meters, thirty meters —
"Asuma, act according to your ability," Shingetsu Nebula reminded him.
As he spoke, Sarutobi Asuma's face flushed red. He exhaled another puff of smoke, which stretched forward for about thirty-five meters. A long, thin plume of smoke gathered above the ground, and it looked like it was about to dissipate.
Sarutobi Asuma dared not delay any longer. Feeling his dizzy brain, he knew this was his limit and gritted his teeth decisively.
Sparks flickered, and the flames began to spread.
As the flames spread, a series of explosions resounded in front of the central tower.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!~"
The explosion wasn't very powerful—but it traveled a long distance.
Without having to consider movement techniques or dodging, Sarutobi Asuma successfully unleashed Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning.
A series of flames illuminated the central tower on the road ahead, eliciting gasps of amazement from the onlookers, the lower-ranking ninjas.
"Hiss—Sigami-i~~"
"Is this still a C-rank ninjutsu? Could it be B-rank?"
"As expected of a ninja from a great clan."
Hearing the exclamations of surprise from all around, Sarutobi Asuma felt dizzy, but he couldn't help feeling smug.
He would have been even happier if he hadn't vaguely heard the words "Naruto's son".
While he was feeling dizzy, Shenyue Xingyun grabbed his shoulder.
"Asma, well done."
Kurenai Yuhi also supported his other shoulder, saying, "That was a beautiful display."
In that instant, Sarutobi Asuma felt that it was all worth it.
If it weren't for the fact that his vision was a little blurry, he would have said: Help me up! Let's blast one more!
"This is an eye-opener." The short-haired boy next to him said, "Leave the rest to me."
As he spoke, he took out two special wooden kunai and tied explosive tags to them one after the other.
Shingetsu Seiun watched as he led the way through the path blasted by Sarutobi Asuma, reaching the end of the explosion point, and then fired forward in sequence.
In fact, Shenyue Xingyun could have easily covered the remaining distance using his movement techniques and physical skills, but the others probably couldn't, so he didn't stop them.
"Sizzle!~" The chakra patterns made a faint sound, followed by two booming sounds and a burst of fire, and the last obstacle in front of the central tower was cleared.
The flames dissipated.
On the mottled ground, there were abandoned mechanisms and exposed traps, but they no longer posed a threat. Although the explosive tags couldn't cover the entire area, the blasted footholds were enough for a few people to pass through.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the group successfully arrived at the central tower. Sarutobi Asuma even smiled and waved to everyone.
"Thank you, thank you everyone for your concern."
"Arrived safely and feel good."
