Chapter 102: Arrival of the Shadow Realm (Part 1)
So, after defeating the Watermelon Mountain Fuguki, it was understandable that Koshino's chakra was less than twenty percent.
At this moment, while leading the Blade Squad in a breakout attempt, another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of the Kubikiribōchō, Biwa Jūzō, had yet to make a move.
A few Mist Jōnin intercepted Koshino and his team's path, making the hope of breaking through even slimmer for the Blade Squad members.
After all, once they dealt with these Mist Jōnin, Koshino and the others would have to face Biwa Jūzō!
However, when Koshino listened to the sound echoing in his mind from the APP and used wind perception to lock onto those Mist Jōnin,
why was it said that dealing with these Mist Jōnin was only somewhat troublesome and not extremely difficult?
The reason was that Koshino had a capable companion by his side! That was Uchiha Shisui!
The Shisui of the Body Flicker in the ninja world!
With the Shadow Communication Technique, although Uchiha Shisui couldn't detect the location of those Mist Jōnin,
under the miraculous effect of the Shadow Communication Technique, Koshino still had the confidence to cooperate with Uchiha Shisui to take down the Mist Jōnin blocking their way.
However, after dealing with these Mist Jōnin, whether the Blade Squad would lose members, and whether Koshino and Uchiha Shisui would have the ability to continue breaking through, remained unknown.
Therefore, under the premise that Koshino, in cooperation with Shisui of the Body Flicker, still had the ability to deal with those Mist Jōnin, the familiar voice from the APP appeared, bringing a true glimmer of hope for Koshino and his team to break through!
As for why the APP's voice sounded? It certainly wasn't because Koshino took some secret medicine that triggered the APP's abilities and gained some miraculous buff!
Having held the APP for so long, as the so-called master of the APP.
Hearing that familiar voice echoing in his mind, Koshino knew that the APP's prompt must be about that newly developed secret technique!
And just as Koshino thought, the prompt from the APP was indeed about that newly developed secret technique!
Then, as Koshino gazed intently at the surrounding Mist Jōnin, noticing there were six of them, he slightly diverted his attention to listen to the voice echoing in his mind, and he communicated with the APP through his thoughts.
Ding! "Development successful!"
"Player, would you like to train in the 'new' Shadow Imitation Technique?"
"Yes!"
Silently communicating with the APP, Koshino, while reminiscing, naturally recalled that the new secret technique he developed was the Shadow Imitation Technique combined with range, forming a new secret technique.
He remembered thinking that the new secret technique developed from the Shadow Imitation Technique shouldn't waste too much time, which is why he chose to combine the Shadow Imitation Technique with range to develop a new secret technique.
Who would have imagined that such a seemingly simple secret technique would consume so much of Koshino's time?
However, it was precisely because the development time for the new secret technique was quite long that Koshino had more confidence in it.
After all, Koshino, familiar with the development function, gradually understood a principle.
The longer the development time for a new secret technique, the better its effect tends to be!
Just like the new secret technique of the Nara Clan that Koshino mastered before, the Shadow Doppelganger Technique, didn't it show its miraculous effects in many of Koshino's battles?
To be frank, if it weren't for the Shadow Doppelganger Technique, whether Koshino could have survived until now is uncertain.
That Shadow Doppelganger Technique truly saved Koshino many times!
So, when the APP asked Koshino if he wanted to learn the new secret technique, Koshino had only one choice, which was "Yes"!
Moreover, after adding the "new" Shadow Imitation Technique to the training progress bar, Koshino didn't hesitate at all to set the training progress of the "new" Shadow Imitation Technique to 100/100!
Ding! "Player, 'new' Shadow Imitation Technique training progress 100/100, congratulations on completing the training of the 'new' Shadow Imitation Technique."
"Player, would you like to name the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique?"
"Hold on a moment! Let me deal with the problem at hand, and then I'll name the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique!"
In a safe situation, Koshino, having mastered the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique, would definitely first comprehend its effects.
Unfortunately, what situation are Koshino and the others facing now? They are surrounded by Mist Ninja, facing a life-and-death crisis!
Koshino silently communicated with the app, mastering the usage of the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique, completing its training in what seemed like just a few seconds.
But would the six Mist Ninja Jonin intercepting Koshino give him even a few seconds?
Certainly not! In the world of ninja, even a second is often enough for a ninja to die several times over!
So just as Koshino completed the training of the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique, the six Mist Ninja Jonin charged simultaneously, swiftly closing in on Koshino and Uchiha Shisui!
But at this moment, Koshino felt fortunate that Uchiha Shisui was right beside him!
Then, still using the Wind Perception ability to lock onto the positions of the six Mist Ninja Jonin, Koshino communicated directly with Uchiha Shisui through the miraculous effect of the Shadow Communication Technique:
"Shisui, I'm transmitting everything I perceive to you mentally!"
"Help me buy a little time!"
"Ten seconds, just ten seconds!"
"I'll be able to join the fight and help you take down those six Mist Ninja Jonin!"
"Shadow, no problem! Don't mention ten seconds, even if it's a few days, I can buy you time! Just sit back and enjoy the show!"
Undoubtedly, Koshino's outstanding performance also spurred Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the Sharp Blade Squad.
Seeing Koshino previously turn the tide and defeat the Fuguki, and now leading the Sharp Blade Squad to break through, how could Uchiha Shisui not have mixed feelings?
However, because the Blood Mist Technique blocked Uchiha Shisui's insight ability, it restricted Shisui's true power.
And in this instant, not only did he have Koshino's assistance to sense the presence of the six Mist Ninja Jonin,
but with the miraculous effect of the Shadow Communication Technique, Uchiha Shisui practically gained Koshino's Wind Perception.
In the blink of an eye, he used the Body Flicker Technique!
All six Mist Ninja Jonin were effectively blocked by Shisui's Body Flicker, unable to get close to Koshino!
As for Koshino, needless to say, he seized the opportunity of Shisui's impressive display to begin comprehending the mysteries of the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique!
Moreover, as Koshino's understanding of the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique deepened, he was increasingly amazed by its effects.
Even with just a preliminary grasp of its usage, Koshino felt that the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique far surpassed all the Nara Clan's secret techniques he had mastered, including the Shadow Hand and Shadow Doppelganger Technique!
However, because Shisui was facing six Mist Ninja Jonin alone, Koshino feared that Uchiha Shisui might not hold out, so he reluctantly refrained from delving deeper into the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique's effects.
But even with just a superficial mastery of the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique, Koshino still felt that assisting Shisui in taking down the six Mist Ninja Jonin was a breeze!
So, as Koshino named the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique, its terrifying effects were fully displayed before the six Mist Ninja Jonin!
"APP!"
"Shadow Realm Descent is the name I've given to the 'New' Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Now, let you Mist Ninja tremble before another S-rank secret technique of mine, Nara Koshino!"
