This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 5 Fierce Battle

The enormous fireball collided violently with the torrent of rocks that poured down in mid-air.

"boom!"

The flames exploded instantly, illuminating the dim canyon as if it were daytime.

However, just as Nishikawa Tetsu had predicted, while the high temperature could evaporate the rainwater, it could not stop the tons of rocks from being supported by gravitational potential energy.

The fireball was extinguished instantly, and the huge falling rock was only blackened on the surface, still carrying the pressure of death as it roared down on the heads of the three people.

"spread!"

Fugaku Uchiha let out a loud shout.

In fact, he didn't need to remind them; the moment he formed the hand seals, Nishikawa Tetsu and Namikaze Minato had already been launched to the sides.

"Thump—!!!"

The boulder crashed down where the three had been standing, sending mud flying three meters high. The earth trembled violently, as if it were about to devour everything.

Using the recoil from the shockwave, Nishikawa Tetsuya pushed off the slippery rock face and pressed himself against a protruding rock.

He had just regained his footing and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when several sharp whooshing sounds pierced through the rain.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

The ground suddenly bulged up, and several sharp rock spears, like fangs piercing from the earth, accurately struck the three people's footing.

"snort!"

Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly, his three-tomoe eyes spinning wildly as his dynamic vision was pushed to its limit.

He twisted his waist forcefully in mid-air, avoiding the fatal blow in an extremely awkward posture, while simultaneously throwing out several shuriken with both hands.

"Ding ding ding!"

Sparks flew as the Uchiha clan's superb throwing skills were on full display. The shuriken drew arcs in the air, bypassing the stone spears and heading straight for the shadows above the rock wall.

"As expected of the Sharingan, the reaction is very fast."

A rough voice came from above.

With a "bang," a puff of white smoke dissipated, revealing four Iwa ninjas clad in reddish-brown armor.

The leader was a burly Jonin with a hideous scar on his left cheek. He looked at the three disheveled people below with a mocking gaze.

"How long can you keep this up with two burdens, you brats from Konoha?"

The scarred ninja slammed his hands on the ground.

"Earth Release: Great River of Earth!"

The originally hard canyon floor instantly turned into a raging mudslide.

Nishikawa Tetsu felt his feet go weak, his center of gravity instantly lost its balance, and he slid down into the mud.

"Che!"

A golden flash pierced the rain.

Minato Namikaze appeared instantly beside Tetsu Nishikawa, grabbed his collar, and with a burst of chakra beneath his feet, leaped onto a high ground unaffected by the flowing mud.

"Thanks, Minato." Nishikawa Tetsu quickly adjusted his posture and took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch as a precaution.

"This terrain is too disadvantageous for us." Minato Namikaze frowned, his azure eyes filled with anxiety. "The enemy occupies the high ground, and Earth Release techniques are much more powerful in this rocky terrain."

"That's not all."

Nishikawa Tetsu calmly analyzed, his gaze fixed on the enemy above, "The enemy has a standard squad setup. One Jonin is responsible for the main attack and control, while three Chunin are responsible for fire suppression and defense. That scarred-face man's chakra level is not much different from Fugaku-senpai's."

In the brief moment between their conversation, Fugaku Uchiha, at the center of the battlefield, was already embroiled in a fierce battle.

He not only had to dodge the mudflow beneath his feet, but also had to face the dense barrage of ninjutsu from the four people above.

"Earth Release: Rock Gun!"

Countless fist-sized stones rained down like machine gun bullets.

Fugaku Uchiha rapidly formed hand seals, his chest bulging high.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

A dozen or so clusters of flames, resembling balsam flowers, erupted and knocked down the incoming stones one by one.

However, the torrential rains in the Land of Rain severely weakened the power of the Fire Release technique; the flames that could originally melt rocks could now only barely shatter stones.

Small pebbles scratched Fugaku Uchiha's cheek, and blood mixed with rainwater flowed down, making him look particularly ferocious.

"This awful weather!"

Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth, his heart filled with humiliation.

If it were on a plain, or in clear weather, he would have already used illusion techniques combined with fire techniques to kill him.

But this damned terrain and weather completely sealed away his strength.

"Minato! Don't just stand there watching! Cover me!"

Fugaku Uchiha roared and stopped passively defending. He actually charged towards the top of the rock wall despite the falling rocks.

"yes!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed, and he twirled the specially made kunai in his hand.

"Body Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

The next second, his figure vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, Minato Namikaze had already appeared like a ghost behind the scarred Jonin.

"So fast!"

Several Iwa ninja exclaimed in surprise. They hadn't even seen the blond boy's movement.

Minato Namikaze's kunai, whistling sharply, aimed straight at the scarred Jonin's carotid artery.

However, just as the kunai was about to pierce him, the scarred ninja's lips curled into a cold smile. Without even turning his head, his skin instantly turned dark brown.

"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"

"when!"

A crisp, metallic clang rang out.

Minato Namikaze felt as if he had been pierced by a steel plate; the enormous recoil made his hands go numb.

"Too inexperienced, brat! That level of attack couldn't even scratch my skin!"

Scarface Jonin threw a backhand punch.

This punch came with a whistling sound; if it hit you, your head would explode like a watermelon.

Minato Namikaze, with his superb reflexes, managed to dodge the attack at the last second, but the fierce gust of wind still snapped off a few strands of his blond hair.

"retreat!"

Having missed his first attack, Minato Namikaze decisively retreated, returning to Fugaku Uchiha's side in a few leaps.

"No, senpai. His skin has hardened; ordinary kunai can't pierce it at all." Minato Namikaze gasped for breath, his face looking rather pale.

He hasn't developed the Rasengan yet, so he lacks a way to kill this kind of Earth Release ninja with high defense.

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha also rushed forward, but was immediately blocked by three other Iwa ninja using "Earth Flow Wall".

Four Iwa ninjas stood atop a towering rock face, looking down upon the surrounding area. A semi-circular earthen wall rose up, protecting them like a tortoise shell, leaving only a few firing holes.

"Is this what Konoha's geniuses and elite families are like?"

The scarred ninja stood behind the earthen wall, his voice full of sarcasm, "You can't even break through my defense, you might as well go back to drinking milk."

"Oh, I forgot, you can't go back!"

As they spoke, the four Iwa ninja began to form hand seals simultaneously.

The surrounding rock walls began to shake violently. Clearly, they were preparing a large-scale combination ninjutsu, intending to bury these three Konoha brats completely in the canyon.

A desperate situation.

Fugaku Uchiha stared intently at the solid earthen wall, his hand pressed against his eyes.

"Minato, take Tetsu and retreat."

Fugaku Uchiha's voice was deep and hoarse, "I will forcefully break through."

He was prepared to overdraw his pupil power and forcibly use a wide range of illusions that he had not yet fully mastered.

"It's no use, senior."

A hand suddenly pressed down on Uchiha Fugaku's shoulder.

Nishikawa Tetsu, who hadn't made a move until now, appeared behind the two of them without them noticing.

He was soaking wet, his black hair plastered to his face, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"That hardening technique uses chakra to change the density of the skin. Unless you have penetrating power at the level of the Four-Handed Piercing Technique, a direct attack will only waste chakra. And..."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the semi-circular earthen wall, a slightly crazed smile playing on his lips:

"They specifically built this semi-enclosed, semi-circular fortification to defend against fire-style attacks and shuriken, leaving only firing ports on the front, right?"

"So what?" Fugaku Uchiha impatiently shook off Nishikawa Tetsu's hand. "This isn't your time for class!"

"An enclosed space, a dry interior environment, plus..."

Nishikawa Tetsu ignored Fugaku's anger and instead took out several bags of grayish-white powder that he had previously prepared at the camp, as well as two explosive tags, from his ninja tool bag.

He looked at Minato Namikaze, his tone as calm as if he were discussing what to have for dinner:

"Minato, with your Body Flicker Technique, could you accurately throw these bags into that firing port in that earthen wall?"

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then looked at the powder in Toru Nishikawa's hand, seemingly understanding something. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Just throw it in?"

"Yes, throw it in, but make sure to scatter it."

Nishikawa Tetsu turned to look at Uchiha Fugaku and handed him the explosive tag:

"Then, Fugaku-senpai. The moment Minato retreats, even if it means your eyes bleed, you must insert this explosive tag with your shurikens and detonate the powder inside."

"You mean..." Fugaku Uchiha looked at the thing in his hand, his brows furrowed, but seeing Nishikawa Tetsu's determined eyes, he inexplicably stopped his plan to overdraw his eye power.

"This is science, senior."

Through the rain, he seemed to be looking at a group of dead people: "Its scientific name is—dust explosion."
