TSSITWON Chapter 135: A Perfectly Executed Attack
🕑 Added 2024-12-19 12:33:38 +0000 UTCKurisu paused momentarily, carefully scanning her surroundings. Her face began to betray a hint of despair. The thought of being captured made her chest tighten. Before she could decide on her next move, the silhouettes of a group of people emerged from the thick mist.
"Stay alert!" Kurisu signaled with her hand, halting her group. Her sharp eyes fixed on the approaching figures. All of them wore masks, concealing their identities.
"Who are you?!" Kurisu demanded sharply, though tension laced her voice.
Unexpectedly, instead of hostility, a joyous voice echoed from the group. "Lady Kurisu?!" exclaimed one of them, a woman whose tone was filled with relief and excitement.
Kurisu froze. Even though their faces were obscured by masks, she recognized the voice. "You...?" she whispered in disbelief.
It turned out that these were women who had once worked at the brothel Kurisu managed. Before heading to the Black Market, Kurisu had entrusted them to Aoki, but she had never imagined they would meet in a place like this.
Kurisu's group stared at them, their faces a mix of shock and confusion. "They... they're our allies!" one of the women in Kurisu's group exclaimed, her voice a blend of relief and bewilderment.
Kurisu took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over the masked women. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her tone softening slightly.
"Master Aoki brought us here," one of the masked women explained, her voice tinged with gratitude and relief.
"He said this place was the safest. Master Aoki also set up several Fuinjutsu around the area to prevent outsiders from entering. When the battle broke out below, he immediately went to help, but before that, he instructed us to prepare. We never expected the ones fighting below to be you."
Kurisu let out a long sigh, trying to process the information. "So, the masked man is Aoki..." she murmured.
Kurisu then turned to the women before her, concern etched on her face. "But what do you mean by 'prepare'? You’re just ordinary people. There’s no way you can help. You should hide immediately!"
The masked woman who had spoken earlier stepped forward. Despite her face being covered, her voice was filled with conviction. "Lady Kurisu, you’ve been gone for over two months. During that time, Master Aoki trained us. We can now use chakra and have the strength of a Genin. We’ve also learned some Ninjutsu from those who were once ninjas. Don’t worry, we’ll assist you!"
Behind her, the other masked women nodded in unison, displaying their solidarity.
Kurisu remained silent for a moment, her eyes reflecting a mix of doubt and hope as she looked at them. Finally, she nodded. "Alright. If that’s your decision, please help us."
The women immediately sprang into action, skillfully setting up traps. The dense mist around them became their ally, concealing their movements from the pursuers. Explosive tags were carefully placed along the narrow paths their enemies would take, while kunai and other weapons were strategically positioned for use.
Soon, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed. The pursuers began to enter the misty area. Kurisu gave the signal, and the first trap was triggered.
*"Boom!"*
A deafening explosion shook the valley, reverberating between the cliffs. The unsuspecting pursuers were caught off guard, with several suffering severe injuries from the shrapnel and blast wave. Yet, they did not retreat. They quickly regrouped, attempting to breach Kurisu and her group’s defenses.
"Now!" Kurisu commanded.
Simultaneously, various Ninjutsu were unleashed from within the mist. Flames roared, winds swirled violently, and lightning bolts streaked with deadly precision. The coordinated assault was brutal, striking the pursuers mercilessly.
