Chapter 39 Discovering the Rock Ninja
If he had sensed these strange auras a few months ago, Uchiha Feiyu would have retreated long ago, but now he is a skilled and courageous man, and after a little hesitation, he rushed towards the place where he felt the strange souls gathered.

"Uh...what's going on? Invisibility?"

When Uchiha Feiyu arrived at the place where he sensed something strange, he found that there was no human figure here. However, his soul perception could sense that there were four strange souls hiding in a bush.

When Uchiha Feiyu focused his gaze there, he vaguely felt that something seemed wrong. The two magatama in his Sharingan kept spinning, and he finally found that the outline there seemed a bit strange.

"This is——the camouflage hiding technique!?"

Ninja schools also teach some simple concealment methods that do not involve chakra, one of which is using camouflage cloth to hide the body. However, this concealment method can only be used when viewed from dozens or hundreds of meters away, and the flaws will be discovered immediately at close range.

However, in the ninja world, there is a wind-style ninjutsu called the Camouflage Hidden Technique, which is a semi-stealth ninjutsu developed based on this principle.

By using wind-attribute chakra to precisely control the water molecules in the air that are invisible to the naked eye and wrapping them around the body, an effect almost like optical invisibility can be achieved. Although it belongs to wind jutsu, it is a ninjutsu unique to the Iwagakure.

If Uchiha Feiyu did not have the ability to perceive souls, he would probably have ignored these ninjas even with his Sharingan.

"This place is only two or three kilometers away from Konoha's camp. The ninjas from the Iwagakure appear here. Does it seem like they are preparing for a surprise attack?"

As soon as the thought was made up in his mind, the sound of wind and thunder was heard from Uchiha Feiyu's body, and he rushed directly towards the invisible Iwa Ninja with a whoosh!
Hearing the sound of wind and thunder coming from behind, these invisible Rock Ninjas reacted immediately and scattered. The camouflage technique of high-speed movement was instantly broken, revealing the figures of four Rock Ninjas.

Facing Uchiha Feiyu in front was an extremely tall Iwa Ninja. After a roar, his whole body turned pitch black. At the same time, Uchiha Feiyu had already chopped down with a knife.

"This guy has good reflexes... He was able to react to my attack, he must be at least a special jonin!"

As the knife flashed, Uchiha Feiyu suddenly felt that the short knife in his hand encountered a resistance. If the White Fang sword technique cut through an ordinary person's body, it would be like cutting tofu, but now Uchiha Feiyu felt as if he was cutting a rotten wood.

This tall Rock Ninja used the Hardening Technique, which is the easiest to learn but difficult to master among all the earth-style jutsu. Ordinary Hardening Technique is roughly equivalent to a layer of iron armor. The stronger the strength, the more effective the Hardening Technique will be.

For example, the earth spear developed by the immortal ninja Kakuzu in the comics is also a kind of earth escape technique hardening technique, which can completely withstand ordinary A-level ninjutsu. In other words, it can only break the defense when facing A-level lightning escape technique and S-level ninjutsu.

Of course, Kakuzu was a Kage-level ninja, and Uchiha Toba was facing an ordinary Iwagakure jonin, so when he swung his sword, only the blade was a little blurry, but it did not fail to break the defense.

The tall Rock Ninja on the opposite side groaned and used the Earth Style Hardening Technique to block the blade. The Rock Ninja pulled back quickly and was not cut in half in the end. He only left a deep scar on his chest that was visible to the bone.

Just as the tall Rock Ninja retreated, the other Rock Ninjas rushed over without saying a word. The fastest ones were two ninjas who looked similar. One on the left and one on the right, each drew out a long sword and chopped down in an instant.

The short sword in Uchiha Feiyu's hand suddenly emitted a white light, easily blocking the opponent's swordsmanship. He also fought back and forced the two men back, but he was secretly shocked in his heart.

"These guys who are able to fight with Hatake Sakumo... are all good fighters at the jonin level!" But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. These are ninjas who are preparing to raid the Konoha camp. The Iwagakure will definitely send out the elite of the elite. If they are not at the jonin level, they will only be a drag.

While thinking in his heart, Uchiha Feiyu raised his hand and threw a flare. As the flare exploded in the sky, the entire Konoha camp suddenly seemed like a giant beast waking up.

"No! The plan has failed, prepare to retreat!"

The Iwagakure, who was standing at the back and did not fight with Uchiha Feiyu, suddenly changed his expression. At the same time, Uchiha Feiyu's eyes were completely fixed on him.

The camouflage hiding technique just now should have been used by this Rock Ninja. Judging from the positions of several people, this guy should be the captain of this group of Rock Ninjas.

The general camouflage technique can only conceal one's body shape, but when this ninja performed the ninjutsu just now, he directly included the surrounding area of ​​several meters in the camouflage, and forcibly developed a single-person invisibility technique into a group invisibility technique. Based on this skill alone, this guy is probably not a simple one among the senior ninjas.

"You want to run, but can you?"

A sneer appeared on Feiyu's face. At this moment, the two Iwa ninjas, who should be brothers, rushed up again waving their long swords, trying their best to entangle Feiyu.

The Iwagakure who was nearly disemboweled stretched out his hands, which emitted a faint green light, and began to heal himself. The last Iwagakure captain made hand seals with both hands:

"Earth Escape - The Art of Light and Heavy Rocks"

"Earth Escape - Split the Earth and Turn the Palm!"

The ground quickly cracked and a huge chasm appeared, blocking Uchiha Feiyu and the Rock Ninjas. The pair of Rock Ninja brothers who had just entangled Uchiha Feiyu also retreated at the last moment, but each of them had a scar deep enough to see the bone on their bodies.

The Earth Splitting Palm was originally a ninjutsu that used the ground to split for attack, but this Rock Ninja obviously used it as a ninjutsu for retreat. The captain spoke:
"Konoha is indeed the cradle of geniuses! You have such strength at such a young age, almost at the level of Kage... Young man, can you tell me your name?"

Uchiha Feiyu sneered. This guy was just looking at the chasm on the ground and felt that he was safe, so he wanted to get some information.

If it was a month or two earlier, Uchiha Feiyu, a melee unit, would really have no way to deal with them, but now...

Slowly raising his head, two magatama kept spinning in Uchiha Feiyu's Sharingan, which immediately changed the face of the Iwagakure captain:
"Sharingan! Not good!"

Unfortunately, by the time he reacted, he had already fallen into the illusion. At this moment, Uchiha Feiyu swung the short sword in his hand, and a sword energy condensed by wind escape instantly burst out like a huge half moon!
