Chapter 4 Who exactly are you?!
Chapter 4 Who exactly are you?!
"They actually went all in!"
Hidden in the shadows, Makoto Goji naturally took in the entire scene below, and gasped in shock.
He now understood why the three ninja swordsmen had fled in such a panic.
With this lineup, there's no way they can stay away!
Led by the fierce-eyed one, Makoto recognized the other four Konoha ninjas, even though he didn't know their names, because of their appearance, attire, and the ninja clan crests on their clothing.
Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka.
Even if these three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are not the representatives of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio in modern times, they are still the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Add to that an oil-loving woman who plays with insects.
He originally thought the pursuers were at most a few ordinary Jonin, but with this lineup, let alone the Lucky Three Treasures who are now only half alive, even if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were to encounter them at their peak, it would probably be a fierce battle!
"Maybe I should just retreat."
Gouju Cheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
It's not that the brothers are disloyal, it's just that the enemy is too monstrous.
Putting Gundam aside for now, the true nature of Fugaku's Kaleidoscope Eye Technique was never revealed until his death.
The kaleidoscope eye technique is unpredictable. If the evil eye already possesses the kaleidoscope right now, his chances of winning are at most 50%!
Even without him, the original storyline's Lucky Three Treasures returned to the village safely...
Ok? !
Just as Makoto was hesitating about whether to make a tactical retreat, a kunai slicing through the air shot towards his throat.
"clang!"
"I never expected there was one hidden here!"
The incoming kunai was blocked, and a figure slightly thinner than Makoto Karatachi appeared in front of him.
Round nose, short black hair.
as well as……
A pair of blood-red three-tomoe jade pendants!
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
Eyes facing each other.
Upon seeing those blood-red three-tomoe jade beads, Makoto Karuta's expression momentarily went blank.
But only for a moment, he regained his senses, and his figure vanished from the spot.
"What?!"
Uchiha Shisui, who launched the sneak attack, was shocked.
He was extremely confident in his illusion techniques; any ordinary Jonin who made eye contact with him unexpectedly would inevitably fall into them.
Even some ninjas skilled in genjutsu couldn't withstand his Sharingan genjutsu.
But this seemingly weak Mist Ninja in front of them only dazed for a moment before regaining his senses.
How is this possible?!
"Don't even think about running away!"
Uchiha Shisui followed closely in a flash.
The two fled and chased, and in a short while they had covered several miles.
"Troublesome guy."
Gouju Cheng frowned.
He was so focused on watching the menacing-eyed Fugaku below that he didn't realize there was an even smaller one lurking nearby.
With a burst of chakra beneath his feet, Makoto Kujira increased his speed, weaving through the trees in an attempt to create distance.
However, Shisui followed him closely, his twin three-tomoe swords locked onto him, his short sword flashing with sharp, cold light, each strike aimed at Makoto's vital points.
Although he was young, he was extremely fast and had already made a name for himself in this war, earning the reputation of "Shisui of the Body Flicker" and "the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan in this era."
"Clang clang clang!"
The kunai and the short sword collided repeatedly as they moved at high speed, scattering a series of sparks.
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
Shi Shui swayed slightly, easily dodging the water.
The Sharingan accurately detected the flow of chakra in Makoto Karatachi's body.
"A feint of this magnitude is useless against me."
Zhi Shui let out a low shout, increased his speed again, and instantly closed the distance, thrusting his short sword straight at Gou Jucheng's back.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Makoto Kojima slightly turned his body just as the attack was about to land, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but he could only use the momentum to land.
"Your movements are strange."
Uchiha Shisui steadied himself, his three-tomoe jade pendant slowly rotating as he stared intently at Makoto Karatachi.
"You seem flustered, but you always manage to block or dodge at the most crucial moment. Are you deliberately hiding your strength, Mist Ninja!"
"Stop joking, buddy."
Gouju Cheng patted the dust off his clothes.
"I'm just a support staff member. Look at my skills, they're terrible. That water escape technique I just used was my trump card."
"Let's make a deal. You let me go, and I promise I'll go back to the Land of Water immediately and never come to the Land of Fire again, okay?"
Do you think I would believe that?
Shisui remained expressionless, gripping his short sword: "Besides, letting the enemy escape is a betrayal of our comrades, so... surrender!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui's figure disappeared again.
A cold, sharp light flashed as the short knife in his hand instantly lunged towards Makoto Kojima's neck.
"clang!"
"Does it have to be a fight with me?"
The kunai blocked the short sword again, and Makoto Karatachi frowned slightly as he looked at Uchiha Shisui, who was standing right in front of him.
"You should turn around and chase after the Ninja Swordsmen with your clan leader, that would be a great achievement. Why are you arguing with a nobody like me?"
"Eliminating potential threats is also a ninja's duty."
Shisui's gaze remained unwavering as his three-tomoe jade ornaments slowly rotated, his eyes fixed on the completely unfamiliar face of the man before him, a face that had never appeared in any intelligence reports.
"Moreover, you are by no means an ordinary logistics staff member."
Whether it's his speed, his ability to instantly break through illusions, or the physical combat skills he's displaying right now, it all shows that this guy is an experienced ninja.
Since I've run into this kind of person, I naturally can't let him stay!
Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame!
Shisui's figure suddenly blurred, and scorching fire-attribute chakra adhered to the short sword, transforming into several sharp flame slashes that sealed off all of Makoto Karatachi's space to dodge.
However, just as the attack was about to strike, Makoto Kariji's figure suddenly became blurry, as if he had merged into the wind, and his speed suddenly increased several times over, leaving a faint afterimage in place.
"What?!"
"Whoosh!"
Zhi Shui's pupils contracted sharply.
Makoto Koji's figure left several elusive afterimages in the forest, moving at a speed that almost exceeded the limits of vision.
A piercing whistling sound rang out, and only a trail of air was left where Makoto Kujira had been standing.
This time, however, he was not retreating; he was actively approaching Shisui!
"So fast!"
Shisui's mind went on high alert, and his three-tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, barely managing to catch a glimpse of the blurry figure.
He instinctively slashed horizontally with his flaming dagger, attempting to use offense as a defense.
but……
It's empty!
"clang!"
A much clearer and louder clang of metal clashing rang out!
Uchiha Shisui clenched his right fist and pressed it against his chest. The ninja insignia on the back of his hand pressed firmly against the kunai. The powerful impact made his wrist go numb, but fortunately, he managed to block it.
"So heavy! So fast!"
Shi Shui felt a chill run down his spine.
The sudden burst of speed just now was definitely not a normal teleportation technique.
If it weren't for his Sharingan's amazing dynamic vision, which allows him to predict the trajectory of body movements, and his own exceptional skill in the Body Flicker Technique, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand this attack!
What alarmed Shisui even more was the timing and angle chosen by the other party.
Having just used [Sword Leap Flame], his old strength was slightly depleted and new strength had not yet been generated, leaving extremely slight gaps in his defense and movement.
The opponent seized this fleeting opening and launched a thunderous attack!
This combat instinct and grasp of timing...
"Who the hell are you?!"
