Mob without system in Naruto world

Chapter 141: Dumb luck



Chapter 141: Dumb luck

Without a word, Gengetsu summoned a giant clam.

Now with not only the Steaming Danger Tyranny Clone but his personal summon as well, he was sure that he would quickly take care of this shameless brat.

But then he looked at Eiji's eyes and an unexplainable unease emerged in him.

However, he needed only a few seconds to figure it out: until now, Eiji didn't seem surprised encountering his unique techniques - rather it seemed as he already knew about his techniques.

His techniques certainly weren't the ordinary jutsus most Shinobis used, so even experienced Shinobis he fought in the past would at least for a moment fear on what his techniques could do.

Gengetsu tried to figure this peculiarity out, but he stopped since he knew that this wouldn't lead somewhere so he just concluded that Eiji was just an idiot.

Meanwhile, Eiji was contemplating: now that he got Kabuto, he has everything he had come for, so wasn't it the time now to order Sasuke and Ukon to run away?

For him, this decision made the most sense, since he really didn't have a reason to fight until the end.

But he was reluctant because he felt like if he couldn't leave Naruto, plus he was sure that Sasuke wouldn't just leave with his revived parents in front of him.

This indecisiveness of him, which cost seconds, was however something he could do against opponents like the current Naruto, but not someone like the Second Mizukage.

While he was still lost in thought, suddenly something exploded right behind him and he was blown into bits!

The ability of Gengetsu's summon was to create a mist that manifests realistic mirages, which means that he can completely conceal itself and Gengetsu.

Even though Eiji forgot some things about the Naruto world and its characters because of the sheer amount of time that passed from his former life, he still knew most of the unique techniques from non-mobs.

This was also the case for Gengetsu's arsenal which in Eiji's opinion really had style - especially the Water Gun Technique.

He even had his own version with the Wind Gun.

However if you asked him if he copied it from Gengetsu, he would answer that it's just a chakra gun which is based on guns in the first place.

Anyway, in this instance, instead of hiding himself and the clam with the mist, Gengetsu used it to make it seem as his chibi clone was still standing next to him, when in fact it approached Eiji from behind while getting bigger and bigger before exploding.

Eiji's superficial knowledge gave him a false sense of security which was a fatal error here.

Gengetsu looked at the flesh soup which was Eiji, but he didn't celebrate: "I wonder if you can regenerate from this too...if yes I would need to use Fuinjutsu (Sealing Jutsus), huh? Really was a long time ago since I had to use one..."

His expectations weren't betrayed and a small white snake split into countless other small snakes, and with that Eiji started to form.

What he didn't know was that Eiji was really lucky there: the regeneration ability wasn't without its limits. It needed body parts that can turn into snakes - if Eiji's sword didn't shield a part of his arm from the explosion he would be dead. Secondly, it needed chakra to turn parts of his body into snakes - if he runs out of chakra it's also game over. And lastly, it could only regenerate missing parts or injures similar to it, if he was burned or frozen, the snakes would be burned or frozen too. Luckily, the chibi clone's secret of being able to explode again and again was that after exploding, the water vapor rises into the atmosphere where it cools down which starts the process of the chibi clone getting bigger and bigger again - in short: it was a water-based explosion which didn't leave any flames behind.

While he was regenerating, Eiji recognized that he almost died.

Until now he got away with abusing his knowledge to fight stronger and more talented opponents than himself, but now it was different...

Now fully regenerated, he gulped and was full of sweat.

He was one step away from death and the only thing which saved him was dumb luck.

Sorry about yesterday. The words really didn't come out...

Anyway, in Naruto characters often have full dramatic death scenes, but I hope with this and the last chapter I could play around with the idea a bit that it could be different in such a harsh world.
