—————————————————————————————————————————
The night was already deep.
The starry sky was dotted with stars, quiet and serene.
However, on the ground, it was a completely different scene. A group of Iwa ninjas, their clothes in tatters, were frantically chasing in the night.
The palpable killing intent seemed to rise from their bodies.
Suddenly, an Iwa ninja let out a shrill scream.
"What's going on!"
Tōdo felt a jolt in his heart. He hurriedly cast his eyes over, and his face instantly turned grim.
The man fell into a Booby Trap and was impaled by the metal spikes at the bottom.
"Be careful! It seems that that Hyūga scoundrel has set up Booby Traps on the way. As long as we're careful, there should be no Mondai."
The Iwa ninjas advanced cautiously.
Another scream echoed through the air.
This time, a hidden spike in the grass pierced the foot of an unlucky Iwa ninja. He hopped around in pain and fell into the same Booby Trap as the first Iwa ninja, getting impaled too.
"Damn! What a vicious Hyūga kid!"
"You! You! You! You guys go ahead and scout the way. Report back the information."
Those unlucky fellows had no choice but to brace themselves and step forward. At first, everything seemed okay. Then, one of them stepped on empty air and fell into a hidden Booby Trap.
This time, instead of metal spikes, there was boiling - hot molten metal below.
There was a special covering above to block the heat.
The men slowly melted away as they screamed and struggled.
A chill ran down the spines of the Iwa ninjas. The miserable screams of their comrades seemed to still echo in their ears. The fear in their hearts was almost uncontrollable and gradually spread among the Iwa ninjas.
So far, they hadn't even laid a finger on Satoru Hyūga, but already many of them had been killed or injured.
Tōdo clearly noticed the panicked mood of the surrounding Iwa ninjas. He took a deep breath and growled at the remaining sensory ninja.
"How far away is that Hyūga scoundrel from us?"
The remaining sensory ninja had a strange look on his face and stammered.
"His position hasn't moved at all... It seems... It seems like he's waiting for us."
Tōdo gritted his teeth.
"Is he mocking us? Deliberately setting up Booby Traps and not running. This jerk!"
The remaining sensory ninja suddenly had a crazy thought. Could it be that Satoru Hyūga deliberately let him live until now to lead the Iwa ninja troops here?
It couldn't be possible...
After all, their group was a vanguard force. There's no way he could resist them alone.
But the tragic situation of the surrounding Iwa ninjas kept confirming his thought.
Tōdo took a deep breath. His sharp eyes swept across the remaining Iwa ninjas, and he said in a deep voice.
"I know a lot of you are starting to get scared now. But the other side is just a young Hyūga ninja, yet we've already lost so many people. Do you know what this means?"
"
If he grows up, Iwagakure will never have peace. Your friends and your families are all there. Do you want them to bear the consequences because of your momentary cowardice?
From the initial sniper ninjutsu, to the shadow clone later, and now the Booby Trap. It shows that that scumbag is almost at his limit. As long as we hold on a little longer, we can definitely kill him!
When that time comes, I'll personally ask for credit from Tsuchikage-sama!
Tōdo's impassioned speech did the trick. The Iwa ninjas around him, who were originally dejected, now had fighting spirit in their eyes.
Good, full of energy.
Then, let's continue on our way!
After paying the price of more than a dozen Iwa ninjas, Tōdo and his Iwa ninja troops finally got out of the Booby Trap zone set by Satoru Hyūga.
By now, the sky was gradually turning white.
Daybreak was approaching.
After chasing all night, the Iwa ninjas were completely exhausted.
Push harder!
That Hyūga scumbag must also be at his limit. As long as we hold on for a while, we can definitely kill him!
Tōdo shouted at the Iwa ninjas behind him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to chase alone.
But Satoru Hyūga's elusive ability gave him a great sense of oppression. He wasn't sure he could take him down alone in a one-on-one fight.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning zipped by, skimming his shoulder and hurtling towards the Iwa ninjas behind him.
Tōdo's eyes turned cold. Since some time ago, Satoru Hyūga's frequency of sniping had dropped significantly. He figured that Satoru Hyūga had completely run out of chakra.
As long as they surrounded him, the outcome was already certain.
In the distance, Satoru Hyūga was gasping for breath. He stuffed a few Military Rations Pills into his mouth and occasionally picked up the large silver sniper rifle in his hand and fired a shot behind him.
Just as Tōdo guessed, Satoru Hyūga was really almost at his limit.
But he still had the ability to snipe.
The reason he slowed down his attacks was that he used all his remaining chakra to construct the Electromagnetic Furnace.
It wasn't for setting up Booby Traps. In his current state, this was the ability that could earn him the most experience points.
[Electromagnetic Force experience points 19832/20000]
Just a little more, just a little more and I can level up to lv4.
Satoru Hyūga gritted his teeth and desperately squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body.
In the distance, the sky showed the first light of dawn.
Day was almost breaking.
Suddenly, Tōdo noticed that Satoru Hyūga had stopped moving and was standing in front of a cliff, with his back to him.
Hahaha! He's got nowhere to run.
Did he choose the wrong escape route?
Hahaha, will you, with the Byakugan, make such a stupid mistake?
Tōdo was overjoyed as Satoru Hyūga's fate was sealed with the cliff in front.
The Iwa ninjas around him seemed to be inspired as well. With joy in their eyes, they squeezed out the last bit of their strength and staggered towards Satoru Hyūga.
Until they were less than a hundred meters away from Satoru Hyūga.
Tōdo leaned against a nearby tree trunk, gasping for air. His clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
He looked back.
The Iwa ninjas troops, originally over 200 strong, now numbered less than a hundred. All of them were injured and looked extremely disheveled.
"Little bastard, why don't you run anymore? Hahaha, I've finally caught you," Tōdo sneered as he slowly approached Satoru Hyūga.
But soon, he froze.
He didn't see the panic he expected on Satoru Hyūga's face. Instead, he was gazing at the distant horizon, looking calm.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Don't you think the sunrise is beautiful?"
"Beautiful? Ridiculous!"
"So you still have the mood to enjoy the sunrise? Well, this is going to be your last one."
Tōdo sneered and kept approaching Satoru Hyūga, who had his back turned to him.
Suddenly, there came shrill screams from behind.
He was stunned and looked back. The smile on his face instantly froze.
He saw a large amount of black fluid suddenly emerging from under the feet of those Iwa ninjas. It was like the tentacles of Daemons reaching out from hell, frantically devouring the surrounding Iwa ninjas.
Some Iwa ninjas screamed and ran away, but the black tentacles turned into sharp spikes and shredded them.
Screams... blood... severed limbs...
These terrifying scenes bombarded Tōdo's nerves, leaving him standing there in a daze, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
"Who the hell are you..."
He murmured tremblingly.
"Didn't I say? I'm Minato Namikaze!"
Satoru Hyūga let out a soft laugh.
"Come to think of it, I should thank you. If it weren't for the pressure you brought, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly!"
Break through?
Tōdo looked back.
He saw a silver coin appear in Satoru Hyūga's palm at some point. It was being tossed high up.
The coin flipped continuously in the air. It was as if everything had turned into slow - motion.
Suddenly, Tōdo seemed to understand something.
His pupils constricted sharply, and he struggled to run backwards.
But at this time, the coin had fallen. Satoru Hyūga flicked the coin gently with his finger as an electric spark danced on his fingertips.
"electromagnetic cannon!"
Boom!
In an instant!
The coin exploded with terrifying power, turning into a blazing white light.
With a deafening roar, Tōdo disappeared, and so did those screaming Iwa ninjas.
There was only a deep gully that stretched from in front of Satoru Hyūga to the end of the field of vision...
The sun peeked out slightly from the fish - belly white horizon. The golden sunlight shone on the cliff.
It shone on Satoru Hyūga's back.
It also shone on the gully that seemed to have no end in front of him...
