Chapter 122: Kunai Throwing Technique
"Chirp!" Shirotaka cried, looking up at the sky. Fighting spirit churned in its golden pupils.
Since Sasuke had killed the two giant hawks, no Sunagakure flying beast could directly confront him. However, ants can kill elephants. The Sunagakure army, though blocked by the mist, had sent a group of reconnaissance hawks that followed them like a shadow, always maintaining a safe distance of three kilometers. Naturally, Sasuke wasn't going to waste a Water Severing Wave on those foot soldiers. Besides, his chest still ached from the exertion of using that forbidden technique; if not for his digestion technique, it would take a long time to recover.
"Shirotaka, heal your wounds first and then fight."
Sasuke caressed his hawk's wounds and then formed hand seals, releasing a healing ninjutsu.
"Water Healing Technique!"
A small, light green water prison covered Shirotaka's wounds, and the necrotic tissue healed rapidly. Soon, the external wounds returned to their original state. Although this technique's healing capacity was not as good as the Mystical Palm Technique, it could be applied over a large area. It was thanks to this technique that his troops had not suffered serious casualties.
Previously, after the big battle, his subordinates saw him pale and thought he was exhausted. But then, they saw him use this technique to heal the wounded genin. The act deeply moved them, unaware that Sasuke, in reality, had already recovered most of his chakra. It was a performance that, inadvertently, earned him a wave of loyalty and allowed him to easily reorganize the army.
This technique was a byproduct of his failed research to replicate the Hundred Healings Technique. But in the process, by combining his improved knowledge of Yang Style (thanks to Kon's notes) and Water Style (thanks to Tobirama's scroll), he had created something unique. The water prison acted as a medium that transported the healing Yang energy, eliminating violent factors and allowing it to penetrate the body like a gentle spring rain.
While he took care of the physical wounds, Chomi, with her powerful appeal and medicinal chakra, handled the ninjas' psychological trauma, rekindling the morale of the entire army.
"Chirp!" Shirotaka cried, now healed and ready to fight.
Uchiha Shun volunteered to go with him. Sasuke accepted and applied a layer of Adhesive Armor to both of them. As soon as they took off, they were surrounded by a dark cloud of Sunagakure hawks that attacked like bullets.
Shirotaka, with its experience, dodged the frontal attack and counterattacked. At that moment, Shun, who was riding on the hawk's back, took out eight kunai.
"Three-tomoe Sharingan!" Sasuke thought, surprised.
As soon as he activated his eyes, Shun threw the eight kunai. They didn't fly in a straight line. He threw a second set, and with a series of metallic clangs in the air, the first set of kunai bounced off, changing their trajectories in impossible ways. Eight Sunagakure hawks fell from the sky, each with a kunai perfectly lodged in its eye socket.
"Hiss!" Sasuke took a deep breath.
'What incredible battle analysis capability!' he thought, his scientific mind marveling. This isn't just throwing; it's complex ballistics, real-time trajectory calculation. It has something of Itachi's and Minato's style.
He quickly implemented his sonic radar technique to observe and capture every detail. This Uchiha throwing skill was, without a doubt, an incredible technique for eliminating small fry.
