Chapter 127 The Trio's Progress
The Souji looked at the three enormous humanoid figures before him and said softly:
"'Ghost'... have we finally encountered it?"
These three humanoid figures were all about four or five meters tall, with bulging muscles in their limbs and an aura of savage violence emanating from them.
These are 'demons' from the ninja world, transformed from spirits with particularly strong negative emotions such as malice, obsession, and resentment.
As can be seen from their appearance, they have become more powerful, and some can still use ninjutsu, but they act solely on destructive instincts and have almost lost their rationality.
Normally, ghosts only operate in the underworld, but there are very rare opportunities for them to come down to the human world.
In the original work, Tayuya of the Sound Village Five was able to use the Summoning Technique to summon a three-headed 'Angry Demon'.
These things are considered high-ranking soldiers of the underworld, but...
The Souji didn't care much, and when he saw it, he just looked at it a few more times out of curiosity.
The power here is too strong.
Whether they are ordinary soldiers or high-ranking soldiers, aren't they all the same?
They're here to deliver.
"These are 'ghosts,' slightly more powerful undead spirits in the underworld, but they're nothing special."
"Yahiko, you guys handle this. This level of opponent is just right for you."
"yes!
Yahiko and the other two agreed and looked towards the three-headed demon.
Although they hadn't been with the Souji for long, they had traveled around and experienced major battles, which greatly enriched their knowledge and experience.
When I first entered the underworld, I was a little nervous, but after getting used to it, I quickly returned to a calm state of mind.
Since everyone had never hidden themselves, standing there so openly, the three-headed demon naturally saw them long ago. It let out a low, beast-like roar and charged towards them, raising its massive stone club.
Yahiko looked up at the big demon and made a decision instantly.
"These guys look very strong. Let's avoid spreading our forces out and concentrate our attack on one at a time, taking them down one by one!"
"Okay!" Nagato and Konan replied.
The giant demon was enormous, its four- or five-meter-tall body resembling a small mountain.
Every step it took shook the earth, making it quite terrifying.
However, the three of them did not panic at all. Yahiko formed hand seals and refined his chakra.
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
Yahiko spat out a stream of water and sprayed it all over the face of the big demon running in front.
This is Yahiko's most frequently used ninjutsu. Although it does little damage against powerful opponents, its extremely fast propulsion speed makes it ideal for disrupting them.
The big ghost was sprayed in the face but was not hurt.
However, it obscured his vision and he stopped in his tracks, roaring and using his hands to block the water.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nagato and Konan began to coordinate their attack.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
Konan threw several paper shuriken made of explosive tags, while Nagato quickly formed hand seals and used his usual wind-style ninjutsu!
The Gale Palm is only a C-rank ninjutsu, with enough power to knock away an ordinary person.
Such power would not do much damage to a giant demon several meters tall.
However, the gale generated can make it difficult for the giant demon to move and can also increase the speed of the paper shuriken.
The moment the paper shuriken struck, Konan formed hand seals and shouted.
"burst!"
Boom boom boom!
Several paper shuriken exploded simultaneously, and the demon's right leg was instantly engulfed in the flames of the explosion before he collapsed to the ground with a howl.
As the fire died down and the smoke cleared, it was revealed that the giant demon's right leg had been blown to pieces.
The giant demon let out a roar like a wounded beast, trying to stand up by supporting itself with its hands.
But after standing up a little, its right leg stumbled and it fell to the ground again, clearly its right leg was now useless.
With the three working together, they quickly defeated the giant demon.
The other two large demons ignored their companions, or rather, because they lacked reason, they didn't consider them companions at all.
The attacks from Yahiko and the other two only fueled the ferocity of these demons, who roared and swung their weapons as they ran at an even faster speed!
"roar!"
The demon roared and slammed his staff to the ground, the force of which caused a large area of the ground to explode.
Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, the three quickly jumped back, using agile movements to evade the fierce attacks of the two giant demons.
"These guys are very strong, but their attack methods are very monotonous.
Everyone, be careful to avoid them, seize the opportunity, and attack their feet just like before to incapacitate them!"
"clear!"
The two giant demons repeatedly pounded their weapons with great speed and power.
However, as Yahiko had said, their attack methods were monotonous.
The three of them responded cautiously and were not harmed. Instead, they seized every opportunity to counterattack.
A single explosive tag is not very powerful, but if you stack them up, their combined power can be quite considerable.
Even a Kage-level powerhouse like Hanzo quite liked using explosive tags, creating the Explosive Flame Array technique.
As for Konan creating 600 billion explosive tags in the original work, the damage was simply monstrous...
Although it's said that explosive tags can be made at home, they still require materials and chakra.
Souji racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how Konan managed to get 600 billion explosive tags...
This amount of material would be enough to flatten all five great ninja villages once... or even ten times!
The three of them were working together, and there was clearly no danger. The Souji watched their performance with peace of mind and said:
"Not bad, it seems they've really made a lot of progress recently!"
The Souji said this, but no one responded.
Kage-level powerhouses like Sasori and Kakuzu naturally had no interest in a battle of this level.
Karin couldn't understand it, and Utakata didn't care.
The Souji was somewhat helpless, but the three of them had indeed made a lot of progress.
They were now almost at the level of Konoha's special Jonin. With some more training here, their strength would definitely improve rapidly.
"How boring..."
Kakuzu watched for a while, then said in a somewhat impatient voice:
"You sent me along just to watch these kids train?"
"This is so boring! I'd rather kill a few guys with bounties and make some more money!"
Kakuzu appeared quite dissatisfied.
The Souji glanced at him and smiled:
"No need to rush. It just so happens that there aren't any tough guys around here, so we're just letting them practice."
"There are definitely strong people in a place like the underworld, and there are many of them, but it will take some effort to find them."
"Since you're bored, how about we find a powerful undead and let you be the first one to deal with it?"
"It doesn't matter," Kakuzu replied nonchalantly.
"Alright, then we need to get this sorted out quickly..."
The Souji clapped his hands and shouted to the three of them:
"Nagato! Try using the power of the Rinnegan!"
"Rinnegan..."
The three of them were startled by what the Souji said.
"Try using it with simple controls! Don't overdo it!"
"I..."
Nagato hesitated for a moment, but his eyes quickly hardened as he began to recall the feeling of using the Rinnegan's power to help Jiraiya...
"Shinra Tensei!" (Almighty Push).
