Infinite Clone System - I.C.S Chapter 168: Flame Creature

“Fire Release: Flame Bullet!”

Jiraiya spat out several fireballs in one breath, bombarding the swarm of mosquitoes in front of him. The intense firelight was dazzling, but under the overwhelming black ocean, it was just a small flame trying to ignite the world.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.” Shisui also used his specialty, Fire Release, and faced the dense swarm of insects, even though he had a feeling of suffocation.

This number was not less than the number of mosquitoes summoned by that Mosquito Girl in the Land of Lightning, but they did not have the ability to use large-scale destruction like the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails.

No…

there’s still one

“Ace, can you use the same scale of flame as last time now?!”

Jiraiya shouted loudly.

“No problem.”

Ace raised his thumb and then pulled one hand up, ready to use the power of the Devil Fruit, but suddenly noticed the swarm of mosquitoes had moved again.

“They seem to be running away!”

“Strange…”

Jiraiya scratched his head, he thought it was an enemy attack, but there was no such easy ambush, he knew that except for the unlucky ninja who died at the beginning, the others were at most bitten twice and had some blood and chakra sucked out.

This did not cause any substantial damage to their overall strength, and even though they exposed themselves, it can be said that this was a quite failed ambush.

“Let’s go see the Uchiha clan leader, maybe he found something.” Shisui also felt strange, but the concern for the safety of the clan leader, Fugaku, in his heart made him unable to take care of himself.

“Yeah, let’s go together.”

Jiraiya nodded, and after seeing that everyone seemed not panicked as before, he felt a sense of relief.

Yes, the ninja here, although not all of them are the elite of each ninja village, were selected to participate in this secret mission involving the life and death of the ninja world, they naturally could not be the kind of people who choose to give up because there may be danger ahead, they have been carefully selected.

After advancing another kilometer, they crossed the previous forest and came to a small stream beside it. It was clear and the flowing water seemed to be playing a soothing song that was fascinating. From here, it looked like a green emerald ribbon, winding through the small town.

On one side of the stream, there were traces of being burned by fire, and a piece of carbonized ground still remained with some firelight, Fugaku touched his chin and sat in deep thought on that piece of land.

In some places, the ground was even melted into green glass, and on top of these places were very strange corpses, the corpses were only upper bodies, and wrapped in a thick layer of scales like armor, the armor was fiery red, roughly looking like volcanic lava solidified into a block.

Fugaku’s face was black because of the coal wind, his clothes were also ragged and scorched by high temperatures, and the fan pattern on his back was also black, looking a bit shabby.

“Fugaku!”

“Leader!”

Shisui and Jiraiya arrived first, Ace followed, and the rest of the ninjas spread out to guard against any possible attack from the mosquitoes.

“It’s Jiraiya and Shisui,” Fugaku turned around and stood up after seeing them, “it looks like you guys also experienced a battle, are they the monsters that are covered in fire?”

“Monsters that are covered in fire?” Jiraiya was confused and looked at Shisui, who explained, “No, leader, we saw fire on this side and thought that this side was attacked early, so we rushed over.”

“On the way here, we were not attacked by any monsters covered in fire, but there were countless mosquitoes that appeared, similar to the Mosquito Girl I saw before.”

“Mosquitoes?” Fugaku was confused, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, “It sounds a bit absurd, but even such creatures that spew fire can exist, so mosquitoes killing people seems not so hard to accept.”

As we all know, water is the source of life, and the birth of any creature is inseparable from water, but when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees, water will evaporate, so in conventional understanding, such creatures like the ones he encountered should not exist.

But this is the Ninja world, a world with chakra, mysterious energy, and even the tailed beasts, a chakra aggregate can exist, why can’t there be flame people?

“Tell me how you met those so-called creatures that are on fire all over.” Jiraiya crossed his arms and looked at the scorched ground, he could not help but think of the land burned by Ace.

Although the range was not as large as Ace’s, the result of the extremely high temperature causing the ground to melt and even produce green glass-like substances was the same. This is something that ordinary Fire Release can’t do, it must be an extremely high temperature.

“Well, you see…” Hearing Jiraiya’s inquiry, Fugaku touched his chin and said, “I came to this side before to see if there was anything abnormal in the small town, but when I was about to leave, I found that the altar in the town had changed.”

“Change?” Jiraiya frowned, “We can see the altar from our direction, but we didn’t see any changes.”

“It’s the flow of Chakra…” Fugaku said in a deep voice, “In my observation with the Sharingan, the altar suddenly had a dense Chakra reaction, and it stopped flowing only when the density was almost ten times that of other areas.”

“Could it be that the formation is about to be activated?” Ace looked up, then quickly shook his head and denied, “Boss’ calculation is two hours later, when the sun sets, the power of yin will overwhelm the power of yang.”

“I’m not sure why.” Fugaku also shrugged, “I thought something would happen, so I looked down, but I didn’t expect to find these monsters.”

“Is the flow of Chakra caused by these monsters?! ” Shisui asked.

“No, you should say that the flow of Chakra is actually these monsters gathering around the altar.” Fugaku looked at the corpses of the monsters he killed, he seemed to have thought of the previous battle, and he exclaimed, “It’s too incredible, these monsters are not like living beings, they are more like half a Chakra aggregate, they only have upper bodies, and their lower bodies are a ball of fire made of fire-attribute Chakra, they are not strong individually, but a group of them can be a nuisance.”
