Chapter 431 The Howling of Death
As the voice of Kabuto fell.
The water bullets in Hozuki Mangetsu’s hands have also been accumulated.
"Water Style: Snipe Shot!"
A subtle explosion sounded.
Crystal clear water bullets instantly shot out from the front end of the strange cylinder.
Quickly crossed a distance of 800 meters and hit the target.
And through the special sight above the cylinder, Hozuki Mangetsu could clearly see that among the three Konoha ninjas running at full speed on the sea, a large piece of blood suddenly exploded on the right shoulder of the leader.
"The trajectory is off to the left. Fine-tune the trajectory and continue attacking."
Hozuki Mangetsu uttered cold words that were not suitable for his age without any emotional fluctuation, and continued to charge for the next ’Snipe Shot’ shot.
That’s right, the strange cylinder on Hozuki Mangetsu’s arm at this moment is the special "firearm" customized by Kaito for "Water Style: Snipe Shot".
Because the "Snipe Shot" ninjutsu has an extremely high range and sufficient power.
But when ordinary ninjas use it, they neither have the keen vision of Kaito, nor can they ensure that their arms have sufficient stability.
When this ninjutsu is actually used, its true advantages cannot be fully utilized.
Therefore, Kaito spent some time and effort to customize this special "gun" to assist in stability and aiming.
Although its structure is simple, its effectiveness is limited to this.
But with a little practice, one can maximize the effectiveness of the "Snipe Shot" technique and kill the enemy from a long distance.
Now, the only finished product of this customized "gun" was handed over by Kaito to his disciple Hozuki Mangetsu for testing.
Let’s return attention to the Chunin Exams.
The three Konoha Genin who were taking the exam on the sea were originally happy that they had seen the exam island.
Who would have thought that before landing on the island, the strongest teammate in the team was suddenly attacked from nowhere.
The moment the leading Konoha ninja was shot in the shoulder, he fell backwards.
How could his other two teammates not notice such a big move?
They immediately rushed to their teammate, supported him and took an alert stance.
"Where is the attack coming from?! Isn’t it forbidden to fight on the sea?!"
One of the teammates quickly stepped forward and prepared to bandage the injured teammate.
The other one drew out two kunai and looked around vigilantly.
Judging from the teamwork alone, the level of this team is actually not bad.
However, when the alert man looked around, he found that there were no other enemies on the sea except for the small island in the distance.
At this moment, the Konoha ninja who was injured in his right shoulder immediately shouted regardless of his injuries.
"Be careful! The attack came from the island!"
But by the time he said this, it was already too late.
A slight sound of breaking through the air passed by the ear of the ninja in front of him who was holding a kunai in his hand and was on guard, without giving him any chance to react.
A "pop" sound, like a ripe watermelon being smashed by a naughty child, came from behind him.
The Konoha candidate’s heart skipped a beat and he turned around quickly in horror.
What he saw was a headless corpse holding a bandage, falling helplessly on top of his teammates.
Without bothering to remain on guard, the Konoha candidate rushed to his dead teammate in grief.
Instead, it was the candidate who was injured first, enduring the pain and the horror of having his teammate’s head explode and blood splattered all over his body, and spoke quickly.
After giving this reminder, he immediately withdrew the chakra that was maintaining his body and quickly fell into the water.
However, his last teammate was obviously not as calm as he was, or he simply could not accept the blow of losing two people before his team even reached the shore.
Although he heard his teammates’ reminders, he was so sad that he knelt on the sea, staring blankly at the two teammates who sank to the bottom of the sea.
The sound of breaking air came again across space like a declaration of death.
But this time, it’s a little different.
A rapidly spinning shuriken cut through the air and suddenly appeared behind the candidate.
It actually intercepted the water bullet that was about to hit his head.
The shuriken was deflected on the spot.
Hozuki Mangetsu did not have enough time to charge the third water bullet due to his haste, and the water bullet exploded as well, turning into water splashes that scattered in all directions.
"Three more enemies are coming in the four o’clock direction. The leader is very fast!!"
At the same time, three people were ambushing on the shore.
Kabuto, who was in charge of perception, also noticed that three people had invaded his perception range again, and immediately sounded the alarm to his two teammates.
Hozuki Mangetsu, who was in charge of the sniping, immediately adjusted his eyepiece and looked towards the four o’clock direction.
Sure enough, there were three figures moving quickly towards the direction of the Konoha team that had just been attacked.
The black-haired young man in the lead, holding a short sword, was so fast that a few afterimages were left.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the kneeling Konoha ninja.
What is even more eye-catching is that in the eyes of this black-haired boy, a pair of scarlet two-tomoe Sharingan are spinning rapidly.
"Mangetsu! Report the situation!"
The low shout in the ear immediately brought Hozuki Mangetsu back to his senses, and he spoke quickly without any hesitation.
"The attack was blocked by the shuriken! Uchiha clan! Two tomoe! Three more shots!"
The three shots mentioned by Hozuki Mangetsu naturally refer to the number of times the remaining chakra can release "Snipe Shot".
Although the chakra consumption of the ninjutsu ’Water Style: Snipe Shot’ itself is not that high, considering the necessary power and range, being able to release it six times is already the limit for Hozuki Mangetsu.
This was even because the three of them had placed a large pit of clean water in front of Hozuki Mangetsu before ambushing here.
Otherwise, the number of times he can perform the technique without water may be one or two less.
After listening to Hozuki Mangetsu’s report, Kabuto gave the order without hesitation.
"The wind speed remains the same! Two more hits, one for Uchiha and one for his teammates!"
When his side has the advantage, it is impossible for Kabuto to give up the attack just because the opponent blocks a weakened version of "Snipe Shot".
Two water bullets, one to try to kill the Uchiha with the two-tomoe Sharingan. If that fails, then try to kill his teammates and eliminate them directly.
Although Hozuki Mangetsu didn’t think so much in his mind, he knew that Kabuto’s brain was useful. He faithfully followed his orders and immediately began to recharge his strength.
The three Konoha ninjas on the opposite side did not choose to sit and wait for death.
After the leading Uchiha boy gave the warning, his other two teammates quickly rushed to the scene.
Hearing his teammates’ calls, Uchiha Shisui did not choose to look back. He still stared at the front and shouted quickly.
"Don’t worry about me! Smoke bomb! Save people!"
The roar of death sounded again!
