Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 363: Petrification Glove

Amado was not a ninja. When Koji Kashin slowly walked into the room, the white-haired middle-aged man was drinking coffee.

Isshiki Ōtsutsuki possessed scientific technology far beyond human comprehension, but he was not a scientist and lacked a scientific way of thinking. Amado, a human genius scientist with no combat strength, was his important assistant.

Koji Kashin handed Amado a scroll. "As you requested, I have collected the combat data of that female ninja."

Like using a USB drive, Amado inserted the scroll into a computer on the side.

Soon, a hexagonal pattern used to measure Ino's various stats appeared on the interface.

Amado took a sip of coffee and watched carefully. "Oh my, this female ninja from the Yamanaka family is very strong. So young, and according to my algorithm, her six attributes are almost at their maximum values."

Koji Kashin thought for a moment and said, "When she fought with me, I felt that she was still holding back, probably because she didn't want to harm too many civilians."

He paused for a moment. "I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw her ninja headband. She can also use the Rasengan and is very familiar with many of my ninjutsu. So... she knows my original body, right? Are you still unwilling to tell me who my original body is?"

Amado had his back to him, carefully studying the data collected during the battle, making records and annotations on the various ninjutsu Ino used in the battle. At this moment, he said nonchalantly, "Knowing too much is not good for you. It's easy to cause mental confusion. This mission was completed well. Go down and rest."

"Alright." Before leaving, Koji Kashin dropped a sentence. "That prince from the Land of the Moon named Hikaru indeed meets the requirements for the first stage of the 'Karma.' We found twenty candidates who met the requirements, and only he could safely pass the first stage."

Amado remained expressionless. "Got it."

Sakura rescued Hikaru and rushed to the royal palace first. Ino put away her Wood Human Technique and used the "Fire Sealing Method" to seal the "Three Flavors True Fire" that could not be extinguished or absorbed by the Underworld Water, then chased after them.

Shabadaba had hired a total of three rogue ninjas: two men and one woman.

The headbands of these rogue ninjas were empty, with no markings at all.

The moment Shikamaru and Choji arrived at the royal palace, they noticed that something was wrong with these three people.

There was a chain of contempt among ninjas.

Major hidden villages looked down on minor hidden villages, and minor hidden villages looked down on rogue ninjas.

Now, these three rogue ninjas hired by Shabadaba were arrogant, showing no signs of the apprehension and unease they should have when seeing ninjas from a major hidden village.

They were either extremely ignorant or very confident.

Shikamaru believed it was the latter.

Choji's confidence had recently skyrocketed. Although his fat was far from recovering to its peak and he could only be called a plump fat man now, he still faced the leader of the trio, a horse-faced ninja with long chestnut hair.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, faced the other man and woman.

The male ninja was tall and burly. The female ninja started with a smoke bomb, then threw out a sky full of petals.

Seeing this scene, Shikamaru and Choji subconsciously put on their masks.

The female ninja, Karenka, was a bit dumbfounded. Why are you guys so proficient?

Choji had too little fat on his body and didn't dare to use the butterfly mode. He only maintained the level of "one breath." He used his family's Human Bullet Tank against the horse-faced ninja, charging recklessly and forcing the opponent into a very sorry state.

"You're courting death!" The horse-faced ninja felt he was being looked down upon by a brat from Konoha. He roared, and his right palm glowed with a purple light.

A light yellow vertical pupil appeared on the back of his hand. This eye looked left and right, and in the next second, it locked onto the high-speed moving Choji. The horse-faced ninja formed his five fingers into a claw and used that right hand with the vertical pupil to grab Choji.

Choji's combat experience was too little. Seeing two ordinary soldiers standing behind the horse-faced ninja, he couldn't help but adjust the angle of his Human Bullet Tank. With one careless move, the horse-faced ninja reached out his arm and grabbed his calf.

The yellow vertical pupil on the back of the horse-faced ninja's hand emitted a strange fluorescent light. From his ankle to his calf, and then to his thigh, Choji's left leg instantly had its life energy sucked away and turned to stone.

"Choji?!" Shikamaru was shocked. He took a bloody wound on his shoulder from the female ninja and leaped to Choji's side. The three rogue ninjas besieged him. To protect the immobile Choji, Shikamaru was punched twice more.

At the critical moment, Sakura arrived.

She threw a kunai. As the horse-faced ninja ducked to avoid it, she kicked at his knee.

The horse-faced ninja leaped up, his palm reaching out again, aiming for Sakura's throat.

It seemed he had already foreseen this Konoha female ninja turning to stone under his palm. His expression was quite ferocious, but the attack he thought was foolproof hit empty air.

His palm didn't touch any solid entity and passed straight through a phantom. The yellow vertical pupil on the back of his hand looked to the left. He quickly turned around, only to find himself firmly tied to a tree.

"Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!" Sakura, who was teased by Ino for knowing everything but mastering nothing, temporarily controlled the horse-faced ninja with a genjutsu, then pulled the cold-sweating Choji to the side to check on him.

"Am I finished?"

"Will I never be a ninja again?"

"Sob sob sob sob—"

Choji tried hard to hold back, but tears still flowed down his round face.

Sakura had one face for handsome guys and another for the likes of Naruto and Choji.

She glared. "Shut up! Be quiet!"

Choji was so scared he quickly covered his mouth.

Sakura carefully examined his petrified leg. The good news was that this leg could be treated with Yang Release chakra, that is, by supplementing life energy with medical ninjutsu. The bad news was that her Yang Release level was not high enough, and she didn't know such advanced medical ninjutsu.

"You rest first. Wait for Ino to come back and treat you." Sakura got up to help Shikamaru fight the horse-faced ninja.

Shikamaru was having a hard time fighting one against three.

This horse-faced ninja was about at the level of a Tokubetsu Jōnin, and his petrification glove was extremely strange. Even with Sakura, they were having a very hard time fighting.

Pakkun, Bull, and Hikaru rescued Prince Michiru. While Sakura was extremely wary of the petrification glove, dodging left and right and completely at a disadvantage, Prince Michiru carried the one-legged petrified Choji on his shoulder and shouted as he joined the battle.

The tables turned. After Shikamaru successively killed two opponents with the Shadow–Neck Binding Technique, the three of them ganged up on the horse-faced ninja.

Sakura was a typical case of a "king in adversity, floats in prosperity." When pushed to the brink, she still had some skill.

She awakened her violent personality and became the main combatant.

When Ino arrived at the royal palace, she saw Choji using his Expansion Fist, grabbing the horse-faced ninja's arms with both hands. Sakura shouted, and with one punch, directly shattered the horse-faced ninja's kidneys!

With the three rogue ninjas defeated, the coup planned by Minister Shabadaba officially ended, and Prince Michiru finally regained the throne.
