Chapter 72: Chapter 71: End of the mission
The four chunins had already made hand signs for a defensive jutsu after seeing Ken making hand signs.
"Quick, Looking at the number of handsigns he made, it must be an A rank fire style jutsu. But I doubt a kid could even use such a jutsu. He would have to be a Uzumaki brat to use a jutsu that uses so much chakra at his age. But who knows what his grandpa is feeding him? So let's just take all precautions."
"Earth Style: Earth Wall" ×2
"Earth Style: Earth Dome"×2
Two earth walls were formed back to back while two earth domes were combined to form one thick earth dome.
The chunins did not underestimate their enemy despite him being a child. While they were right, Ken could not perform an A rank jutsu yet (Rasengan does not count), the jutsu he was performing was stronger than most of the A rank jutsus despite being just a B rank jutsu.
'Katon: Karyū Endan' (Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb)
[A/N: It was not the Uchiha version of it but what Hiruzen used against Orochimaru]
A sea of red-hot flames erupted out of Ken's mouth that engulfed everything in its path. The earth walls and the earth dome crumbled as soon as they came in contact with the flames. The flames continued to flow from Ken's mouth before eventually he stopped supplying chakra to the jutsu.
The Jutsu was a simple high-pressure stream of fire with no definitive shape.
The entire area was destroyed and burned. There was no trace of the Earth jutsus left. As for the four chunins, only some burned bones were left of them.
Shikuro looked wide-eyed at the jutsu and the destruction it had caused.
'He managed to learn a jutsu only Lord Third and his son could do? Thankfully, He did not have it learned during their test with me, or else I would have lost a lot of my precious insects. Well, It looks like the fun is over. I should get the things done on my side too.' Shikuro thought
'That was Sarutobi clan's Karyu Endan which was developed by Sasuke Sarutobi. My brother was given his name as a form of respect for him so it must have meant something but to think that person has developed such a crazy strong fire-style jutsu, Incredible. This jutsu though was something else. I have not seen any fire-style Jutsu with such power in the Uchiha archives.'
'I heard father say that while they have copied the hand signs of this jutsu, it is very difficult to perform the jutsu. But they managed to change the jutsu to suit them although the jutsu lost a lot of its power, it was still a strong B-rank jutsu.' Itachi thought as he remembered his father performing the same fire-style jutsu but introducing shape transformation in which the flames are manipulated into the shape of a dragon and divided to strike the target.
"We surrender" The remaining chunins fearfully kneeled with their hands up in the air as they nervously looked in the direction of the destruction caused by the fire jutsu.
The guards came out of their stupor and quickly apprehended them.
Ken though was quite sad despite being able to use such a strong jutsu at his age.
'Unlike grandpa's my flames did not turn white. I even supercharged the jutsu. Heck, I even used forty percent of chakra in that single jutsu. When can I make my flames as hot as Grandpa's?' Ken imagined himself spewing white flames in the future but he was broken by a quick tap on his shoulder.
He was surprised to see Shikuro behind him with one of the jonins knocked out on his shoulder and as he looked for the other jonin, he grimaced as he saw a big beetle coming out of that man's 'dead' body.
"Good Job. But you could have done things with less destruction. But I have been told that you like to burn things so I will let that slide. Anyways, We have accomplished our mission to protect the company from Iwa shinobi who have disguised themself as Leaf shinobi." Shikuro said the last sentence at a higher pitch so that the approaching guards could hear him.
The head guard had been healed by a medical-nin and walked to them.
"Thank you for your help!" He bowed
Shikuro without any change in expression replied "It was our duty to prevent other great villages from taking advantage of Leaf allies. But I have to warn you, there was another shinobi that targeted one of the researchers of the company who made the fertilizer. We did not go to his help since we decided to help you. I am afraid he had extracted the formula from him and had escaped already."
'Smart, Now even if Land of Fire starts producing this fertilizer all the blame will go towards Iwa.' Ken gave his sensei a mental thumbs up.
The head guard sighed "It was inevitable. Can you please tell me about everything related to this matter?"
"Sure, We had received intel that Iwa shinobi would be attacking this company and put the blame on us to sour Leaf relations with your country. We also had a suspicion that there was a spy among the guards that are stationed on borders so we used less than legal ways to enter the country to prevent them from knowing about our involvement." Shikuro said calmly even though he was just bullshitting.
'He should not be a shinobi but act in movies. He is lying as if it is his second nature.' Ken was shell-shocked at his sensei's acting.
"Thank you! We will provide the information that you provided to Damiyo san. I am sure he would reward the Leaf for their efforts. We will also be keeping these Iwa nin for interrogation. Is that fine with you?" The head guard asked and Shikuro nodded before facing his team.
"Let's go. Our work is done here."
[A/N: The next chapters are Interludes and pov of other characters. These chapters are important for the story. It is also to highlight that other characters are not just side characters to Ken but also play an important role in the story. I hope you like them]
