Seeing so many shurikens coming at them, Marco instinctively stepped in front of Bonney.
But he forgot that with Ian here, there was no need to worry about such attacks at all!
“Oh! They really have shurikens!?” Ian’s eyes lit up, but his hands didn’t stop moving. With a casual upward swing of the Black Wing Demon in his right hand, the imnse wind pressure imdiately condensed into a wind barrier around the three of them.
This was naturally a skill from the Yasuo card. Although Ian hadn’t equipped this card, ever since he advanced his swordsmanship to Grandmaster level on Cake Island, he discovered that not only had the power of his sword techniques greatly increased, but he could also effortlessly use sword skills like those of Yasuo, Ukyo Tachibana, and Genjuro Kibagami, which didn’t require special energy.
It felt like a case of “once you master one, you master them all”…
The spinning, cross-shaped shurikens lost their montum upon hitting the wind barrier and fell one after another, not harming the three of them in the slightest.
At this mont, the ninjas on the treetops also disappeared. As they threw the shurikens, they had already left their original positions at extrely high speed. The mont the shurikens clattered to the ground, six ninjas, holding gleaming short swords, appeared around Ian and simultaneously slashed at him!
With such extre speed, the actions of these ninjas seed so bizarre, as if they had already reached Ian’s side the mont they disappeared from the treetops.
However, for Ian, who had expanded his imnse En field, the movents of every ninja present did not escape his perception!
In Ian’s perception, the ninja on his front right was slightly faster, aning he would be the first to strike.
So, Ian raised his hand and blocked with the Black Wing Demon!
Clang! As the sound of tal clashing rang out, Ian parried the ninja’s short sword, and at the sa ti, his figure instantly moved behind the ninja. A flash of silver-white blade light appeared as the Senbonzakura in his left hand slashed down!
This was naturally the “Flash Issen” skill from the Samanosuke Akechi card, which Ian hadn’t used for a long ti…
The ninja only saw a blur before his eyes, and the target disappeared from his vision. At the sa ti, a chilling sensation ca from behind. Startled, he instinctively ford a hand seal with his free hand without thinking.
With a “crack,” when Ian’s blade slashed down, he felt sothing was off from the feedback on his blade. Looking closely, he found that what he had slashed was actually a piece of wood! The ninja from just now had sohow dodged to the side…
“Ahaha!? Substitution Jutsu!?” Ian beca even more interested. “You really have this kind of thing!?”
At this ti, the blades of the other ninjas also slashed over, but Ian’s figure kept changing, activating “Flash Issen” repeatedly. While flashing, he instantly slashed out several blade lights, which, in the eyes of others, seed to light up simultaneously!
The other ninjas attacking together didn’t react as quickly as the first ninja. They didn’t have ti to use the Substitution Jutsu and were imdiately struck by Ian, letting out screams and falling to the ground injured.
Ian had already held back. If he hadn’t wanted to see what these ninjas’ ninjutsu were all about, how could these ninjas have survived under his blade?
The ninja who had used the Substitution Jutsu earlier had just dodged to the side, only to see his companions simultaneously spurting blood and falling to the ground. Before he could react, he heard Ian’s voice next to his ear: “Hey! The ninjutsu you just used, did you use chakra?”
The ninja was so shocked that his hair stood on end. Only then did he realize that Ian was much faster than him; he didn’t even know how Ian appeared beside him!
As for what Ian was talking about—what chakra—the ninja didn’t have ti to think. As he quickly turned and stepped away, he threw a round object on the ground.
“Smoke… Smoke Escape Technique!”
Boom! A thick smoke suddenly erupted from where the ninja had thrown the round object, enveloping his entire body in smoke.
The ninja was just about to take advantage of the smoke to escape from Ian’s side when suddenly a hand reached through the smoke and grabbed his collar from behind!
As Ian pulled the ninja, he choked him, nearly causing his tongue to stick out!
Because Ian’s pulling force was too strong, the ninja was still running forward, causing his entire body to lift off the ground, and with a “thud,” he fell flat on his back!
“Are you kidding ? With my En field, if I let you escape with just so smoke, that would be unacceptable!”
“Cough cough! I’m choking to death!” As Ian grabbed the ninja, he was also enveloped in the smoke, causing him to cough violently. “Damn! What is this smoke!? Did you burn so ping pong balls!?”
Seeing that their companion had been captured by Ian in just a couple of moves, the other ninjas were both shocked and angry. They imdiately rushed over to try to rescue him.
Three ninjas jumped into the air, and from above, threw shurikens at Ian again. Another four ninjas rolled from four directions to Ian’s front, and the short swords in their hands stabbed directly at Ian’s waist, launching an assassination.
Ian had to let go of the ninja he had grabbed and did a backflip to jump away!
While Ian was in mid-air, several ninjas intercepted him, jumping up and throwing a large fishing net at him, attempting to ensnare him from the air.
Ian swung the Senbonzakura in one hand and the Black Wing Demon in the other, slashing out several sword energy waves towards the fishing net. As a result, when the net fell on him, it was already tattered, falling past him to the ground!
Just as Ian was about to land, he suddenly sensed sothing and concentrated his Armant Haki hardening on his feet. Sure enough, when he was about to touch the ground, several sharp blades suddenly broke through the ground at his landing spot, stabbing straight at his soles.
However, because he had sensed the attack in advance, these blades could not penetrate any further after stabbing Ian’s soles. With a “crack,” they were directly broken by Ian’s Armant Haki!
“Damn! My shoes!” His feet were fine, but the soles of his shoes were pierced, which made Ian a bit angry. He stabbed the Senbonzakura into the ground, and a powerful burst of lightning erupted!
The earth is naturally conductive; as long as it’s not absolutely dry ground, it can conduct electricity—this is common sense. Since these ninjas could attack Ian from underground, it ant they had probably used Earth Escape Techniques to hide underground. Ian’s burst of lightning imdiately electrified the ninjas hiding below, leaving them disoriented…
The ninjas underground had lost consciousness. If they didn’t get soone to dig them out quickly, they might actually suffocate. At this ti, the ninjas realized that Ian’s body had just erupted with lightning, and imdiately understood that Ian was probably one of those who had eaten a “rare fruit” and could use sorcery. Moreover, the sword energy slashes he had cut out earlier when breaking the net were also very powerful, continuously cutting down several big trees behind.
They quickly reminded their companions: “Be careful! He’s a Swordmaster Samurai!! Use the Clone Technique against him!”
So, Marco and Bonney, who had been bystanders watching the fight, were dumbfounded as they saw the remaining ninjas standing still, all taking out a scroll and holding it in their mouths, then forming hand seals with both hands. A series of “puff puff puff” sounds rang out, and they all created several clones!
It was quite a magical scene, as if the number of ninjas present had suddenly multiplied several tis.
Ian was also a bit surprised because, in his perception, these ninjas’ clones did indeed have real forms. His En field could accurately perceive their size, volu, and movents, aning that this Clone Technique didn’t seem to be a simple illusion.
But…
Ian still saw through the real bodies of these ninjas at a glance!
The reason was simple: he didn’t sense any heartbeat or sound from those clones!
This made Ian a bit disappointed. After this brief exchange with these ninjas, he realized that the ninjutsu they used should be more traditional ninjutsu, rather than the chakra-based ninjutsu he had imagined.
If he had to sum it up, Ian felt that these ninjutsu were probably so special physical techniques and abilities, sowhat like the “Six Styles” techniques developed by the Navy! There wasn’t much mystical stuff!
Seeing that the ninjas, after using the Clone Technique, had increased in number and seed to have grown bolder, swarming towards Ian, Ian curled his lips, stood with his swords in both hands, and said, “Is it impressive to know ninjutsu? I know it too!”
Then Ian took a deep breath, suddenly opened his mouth, and spat out a huge black fireball toward the ninjas charging at him!
“Ha! Taste my Great Fireball Technique!!”
