ACSP: Chapter 48: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique + Dragon Flame Jutsu, covering the whole map!
The early-stage tasks for the hell-difficulty Land of Waves Secret Realm are the same as those for the simple-difficulty one: escorting that Tazuna back to the Land of Waves.
The only difference is that the Tazuna in this Secret Realm has an even fouler mouth.
It gives people the urge to want to beat him to death.
Also, the strength of the Demon Brothers has increased.
However, in front of Jiang Chen, the fate of these two guys remained the same.
They were taken out the moment they appeared.
The value of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan combined with the Rasengan and Chidori is still very high in the early stages.
Two hours later.
Jiang Chen and his group followed the mission steps and successfully escorted Tazuna to the Land of Waves.
The first phase of the mission ended here.
The second phase of the mission was to help Tazuna deal with the Land of Waves' bully Gato and his underlings.
This mission was issued to Jiang Chen and the others by Tazuna after they landed in the Land of Waves.
There is also such a mission in the Hard difficulty version of the Land of Waves dungeon.
If someone receives this mission for the first time, they need to follow Tazuna back to a fishing village.
Then, they get the address of Gato's villa from the villagers there.
But Zhang Xiaolin and her team had already farmed this mission several times before.
They knew the town map within the Land of Waves by heart.
Therefore, after landing in the Land of Waves, they headed straight for Gato's villa.
Of course, to prevent Tazuna from being assassinated by killers sent by Gato after they left, they brought him along with them.
...
One hour later.
In the center of the most prosperous town in the Land of Waves, outside a three-story luxury villa, Jiang Chen and the others appeared with a bewildered Tazuna.
"According to the dungeon information we previously obtained, Gato and his underlings are inside this villa." Zhang Xiaolin said, looking at the villa in front of her.
Jiang Chen looked around and discovered that many people holding firearms were standing outside the villa.
Clearly, these guys must be Gato's underlings.
They were all within the range of their mission targets.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaolin continued, "Most of Gato's underlings are ruffians holding matchlocks. Although there are many of them, they are nothing to fear. It's just that he has two samurai by his side who know Iaijutsu, and their strength is no weaker than those two Hidden Mist Chunin. Our previous approach was to lure the people inside the villa out in batches, then have Zhao Gang defeat them one by one, and finally deal with those two Iaijutsu samurai."
Zhao Gang was the original damage dealer in Zhang Xiaolin's team; Jiang Chen had heard them mention him before. It was said that he was a Contractor of a Hyuga clansman, born with the Byakugan, and his strength was decent.
Jiang Chen had to admit that Zhang Xiaolin and her team's previous strategy was indeed good.
Luring the enemies inside the villa out one by one and defeating them individually could minimize the danger.
However, he did not intend to use this strategy this time because it was too time-consuming.
"Since the mission targets are all inside this villa, let's just raze this villa to the ground," Jiang Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaolin and the others looked over with incredulous gazes.
Ye Ju widened her eyes and said, "Big brother, this villa is at least over a thousand square meters. Even if you have a large-scale offensive Ninjutsu, you can't just raze it to the ground at once, right?"
Zhang Xiaolin added, "Ju is right. Others have tried your method before, attempting to take out everyone inside the villa in one go, but they all failed in the end. That Gato is very cunning. If he discovers his villa is under fierce attack, he will choose to flee immediately, and then this mission will only become more troublesome."
Jiang Chen smiled, "The only reason this attack method would fail is insufficient firepower. If they could blast the villa and everyone inside into smithereens, how could Gato possibly escape?"
As he spoke, he placed his hands in front of his chest. He formed hand seals.
"—Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish..."
In an instant, figures identical to Jiang Chen appeared outside Gato's villa.
On the ground, in the trees, and on the utility poles, dense crowds of figures appeared in various poses and actions, like a heavenly army descending.
There were at least 2,000 of them, enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Zhang Xiaolin was completely stunned, "Is... is this the Clone Technique? Or is it an illusion created by Genjutsu?"
Tang Si was also scared into a cold sweat, "These are not clones, nor are they illusions; they are Shadow Clones. They are all physical entities..."
He possessed the Perception Technique and could naturally distinguish whether these clones were physical entities or illusions.
Ye Ju said with a surprised expression, "But isn't the limit for the Shadow Clone only about a dozen physical clones? Isn't there too many here?"
Zhang Xiaolin suddenly remembered something and said incredulously, "I heard that above the Shadow Clone, there is also an A-rank physical clone skill called Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. However, that is a highly dangerous forbidden technique. Those with low Chakra levels will die instantly upon using this skill."
Ye Ju speculated, "Could Jiang Chen be planning to have these Shadow Clones rush in and kill everyone inside the villa?"
Tang Si thought it was bad and quickly warned, "Oh no, the Shadow Clone is the most dangerous physical clone. Not only is the Chakra consumption enormous, but it also accumulates fatigue. If he creates so many Shadow Clones at once and all of them take action, his consumption will increase thousands of times over. Once the clones are dispelled, he will definitely die."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart sank.
The dungeon they were currently in was of Hell difficulty.
And they had only reached the second stage of the dungeon.
There was still a more troublesome Elite Jonin to kill next.
If Jiang Chen, their main damage dealer, was gone here, how would they continue?
"Jiang Chen, stop..." Zhang Xiaolin looked at Jiang Chen, preparing to speak and stop him.
But just then, the Shadow Clones surrounding the villa began to move.
Their hands flipped up and down, and hand seals were quickly formed.
"—Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
In an instant, streams of dragon-shaped pillars of fire were spewed from their mouths, rushing directly toward the villa.
The sky-covering fire instantly engulfed everything around it.
The next moment.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
Violent roars suddenly rose into the sky, resounding through the clouds, accompanied by a large amount of smoke and flames.
The wind raged, and the earth shook.
Wave after wave of scorching air currents swept out, uprooting trees within a radius of several hundred meters.
Gato's luxury villa was razed to the ground in an instant.
At the same time, a familiar mission notification rang in the ears of Jiang Chen and the others:
[Dungeon Notification: Congratulations on successfully killing the Land of Waves' bully and rich tycoon 'Gato' and all his underlings, completing Tazuna's mission request!]
[Dungeon Mission: Third phase mission activated, kill the Hidden Mist Village rogue ninja, Demon Zabuza, who is hiding in the Land of Waves!]
