The mission received from the Hokage included not only the clearance of that group of thieves but also a higher - level task.
Kill Uesugi Tetsu, a missing - ninja from Konoha!
Uesugi Tetsu came from a very small family in Konoha. He was quite inconspicuous in the whole village and was almost indistinguishable from ordinary civilians.
However, Uesugi Tetsu was a rare genius accidentally born in this family. He learned the family's Secret Technique of Erasing Pheromones and had excellent stealth abilities. With this skill, he was rated as a special Jonin.
It's a pity that after becoming a special Jonin, all he could think about was restoring the glory of his family, and he even went crazy about it. He developed great hostility towards the Hokage and thought that if it weren't for the Hokage's policies, the Uesugi family wouldn't have declined to this extent.
He even attempted to assassinate the Hokage. The result, of course, was obvious.
Thanks to the Secret Technique of Erasing Pheromones, he managed to survive the Anbu ninja's encirclement and suppression.
All the intelligence that Satoru Hyūga currently has was deduced by the Anbu ninja after investigating Uesugi Tetsu.
Originally, Satoru Hyūga had a bit of sympathy for Uesugi Tetsu. There were more than one small families that declined in Konoha, right?
The Kato clan was also a good example.
It refers to that Kato clan, not another one.
The Kato clan had the rare S - level Spirit Transformation Technique, a soul - related secret technique. They even had Kato Dan, who managed to court Tsunade. Although Kato Dan had a short life, one had to admit that the Kato clan had its glory days before the Second Great Ninja War.
However, due to various reasons, there wasn't even a Jonin from this clan in Konoha now. Even the clan - inherited Spirit Transformation Technique was included in the Sealed Book.
It was really a pity.
However, after Satoru Hyūga learned more about Uesugi Tetsu, he instantly thought this guy was a goner.
After defecting from Konoha, using his stealth ability of erasing pheromones, he seemed to have unleashed his true nature and killed countless ordinary people.
Even on the underground black market's bounty list, one could see his name.
Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but marvel at the power of the underground black market intelligence. For an enemy that the Anbu ninja had failed to capture many times, as long as one was willing to pay a certain price on the underground black market, they could find his trace.
According to the obtained intelligence, Uesugi Tetsu had been active near the capital of the Grass Country recently.
The journey wasn't very far. Satoru Hyūga arrived there in half a day.
Next, it's time for the battle between the prey and the hunter!
Uesugi Tetsu was very cunning. The Anbu ninja had returned empty - handed many times. Satoru Hyūga had to stay calm.
The capital of the Grass Country wasn't very large. With the Byakugan and his electromagnetic perception ability, Satoru Hyūga soon noticed a suspicious person.
He was considered suspicious because from the perspective of the Byakugan, the person's chakra levels were close to those of a Jonin, but his bio - magnetic field was only at the level of an ordinary person.
Generally speaking, chakra levels and bio - magnetic field were proportional, unless the ninja practiced special secret techniques.
After cross - referencing with the intelligence provided by the Hokage, Satoru Hyūga confirmed that this was his target, Uesugi Tetsu!
Sure enough, the opponent was quite cunning, constantly hiding among the civilians in the capital. Without the Byakugan and electromagnetic perception, even if Satoru Hyūga passed by him, he would likely just mistake him for an ordinary civilian.
Satoru Hyūga waited silently. During his time in the underground black market, he had tempered himself into an extremely patient hunter.
It wasn't until evening that Uesugi Tetsu moved. He went to the desolate forest outside the city. After checking that there was no one around, he entered an extremely concealed cave.
In the distance, Satoru Hyūga squinted his eyes.
"It seems that's where he's hiding. Putting his stronghold so close to the capital, he must be very confident in his secret techniques for concealing his figure."
It's a pity that he met me...
A sharp glint flashed in Satoru Hyūga's eyes. Now was the perfect moment for the hunter to close the net!
Silver - white metal flowed out from the sleeves of his hands and condensed into a silver metal sniper rifle.
Previously, limited by the industrial technology in the ninja world, if one wanted to develop a magnetic storm sniper rifle, one could only rely on Bow & Arrow.
But now, with the infinitely malleable metal, Magnetic fluid, according to his memories from his past life, he could directly mold a sniper rifle!
The internal structure was not that of a traditional firearm. Instead, a part of the cavity was left for applying electromagnetic propulsion. The longer barrel could serve as an acceleration track, giving the projectile extremely high acceleration!
The classification of electromagnetic cannon is quite vague. Generally speaking, as long as electromagnetic propulsion technology is used, it can be classified as an electromagnetic cannon.
So the coin that Misaka Mikoto shot out also counts as an electromagnetic cannon.
However, in a strict classification, there are two common types of military electromagnetic cannon. One is the coil gun, which uses the electromagnetic reaction of multiple loop coils with alternating current to achieve the acceleration effect.
The other type is the electromagnetic railgun. It generates a huge Electromagnetic Force through the electromagnetic interaction between two parallel rails, which then pushes the projectile to accelerate.
The metal sniper rifle in Satoru Hyūga's hand now uses the second principle.
The real magnetic storm sniper rifle!
Taking a slight breath, Satoru Hyūga aimed the muzzle at Uesugi Tetsu in the distance. Under the perspective of the Byakugan, he couldn't escape Satoru Hyūga's lock at all.
Inside the sniper rifle, a drop of silver metal solidified into a bullet. Along with the buzzing sound whose pitch gradually increased, blue lightning flashed at the barrel.
Until the electromagnetic propulsion had been charged to the limit, Satoru Hyūga pulled the trigger.
In an instant!
The blue light shot out from the muzzle!
Uesugi Tetsu, who was several kilometers away, suddenly felt a chill burst from his back. He didn't even have time to react when a shower of blood spurted out from his chest.
A look of disbelief and confusion still remained on his face as his body fell straight backward.
In the distance, Satoru Hyūga lowered the barrel.
Uesugi Tetsu's bio - magnetic field had become so weak that it was almost undetectable. This was because after the human body died instantly, there was still a trace of basic cell activity left. Once this cell activity disappeared, the bio - magnetic field would completely vanish.
Approaching the opponent's corpse, a drop of silver metal liquid slowly floated out of his chest and flew into Satoru Hyūga's sleeve. After absorbing some of Uesugi Tetsu's blood, it was obvious that its volume was a bit larger than that of the initial bullet-shaped form.
Regarding the special property of the Beheading Prison Chop, Satoru Hyūga guessed that it might be some kind of regenerative metal.
If it only absorbed the iron ions in the blood, the change wouldn't be so obvious. The total amount of iron ions in human blood is at most 2 or 3 grams, which isn't even enough to make a coin.
However, if it also absorbed chakra, it could be understood.
Chakra has all kinds of amazing effects.
Therefore, Satoru Hyūga speculated that the material of the Beheading Prison Chop should be a very special regenerative metal that could split into more metal atoms by absorbing blood and chakra.
Initially, the Magnetic fluidized Beheading Prison Chop transformed into a sphere only the size of a fist. Now, it is close to the size of a football.
Exhaling a puff of turbid air, Satoru Hyūga cut off Uesugi Tetsu's head.
Uesugi Tetsu also has a bounty in the underground black market. His head can be exchanged for the bounty, and as for his Forehead Protector and personal belongings, they can be exchanged for mission rewards with the Hokage.
One deed, two ways to profit.
Taking on tasks in the underground black market is confidential. As long as he is careful, even the Hokage won't know that he is profiting in the underground black market.
Satoru Hyūga smiled.
Then, he started to search Uesugi Tetsu's body. His finger felt something hard on the chest.
It was wrapped very thickly, which seemed to indicate that it was something very important to him.
Tearing off the outer black cloth, Satoru Hyūga saw a Scroll. When he opened it, the words Rotten Wood Technique came into view.
"Is this the secret techniques that Uesugi Tetsu used to evade the pursuit of the Anbu ninja?" Satoru Hyūga frowned.
