Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Luring the tiger away from the mountain (4/5 update)

"How did you find me...?" A figure emerged from the shadows by the door. (Novel)

It was a man with blue hair, an eye patch over his right eye, and wearing loose gray-green clothes.

Pakura's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself in surprise, "This guy... I didn't even sense a trace of his presence beforehand!"

Not only did Pakura fail to sense it, but even Shunren's Mind's Eye couldn't detect the other party's aura at all, which shows how strong the other party's anti-sensory perception was!

However, once Shunren saw who the visitor was, he immediately understood.

This person is none other than Mist Ninja, a Jonin of the Mist Jonin and the Mizukage's bodyguard. His right eyepatch contains a Byakugan. It's said that Konoha's war against the Mist Ninja Village ended in defeat, the Hyuga Clan head was killed, and the Third claimed to have persuaded the Mist Ninja to withdraw through diplomacy. Perhaps the price paid was this Byakugan of the Hyuga Main Family?

In the original work, Ao served as the captain of the sensory unit Fourth Shinobi World War. His sensory abilities Inoichi Yamanaka, so it's not surprising that Shunren's Mind's Eye was countered by the opponent.

However, Shunren was currently in the territory of the Mist Ninja, so how could he not be prepared?

The Vision Ward, also known as the Vision Ward, was planted on Mei Terumi's rooftop long ago. Under true vision, all methods of physical invisibility, Chakra invisibility, etc., are meaningless!

"Konoha Ninja Uchiha Shunren, Sand Ninja Pakura, the Scorch Release user... you really have some nerve, daring to stand openly near my Kirigakure."

At this time, the Mist Ninja were carrying out a large-scale arrest of Shunren and Pakura within the Land of Water. Qing never expected that the enemy was hiding right under their noses! You should know that this place is only a few dozen kilometers away from the main town of the Kirigakure! As long as they give an order, thousands of Mist Ninja will come out in droves, and then they will be helpless.

Shunren didn't waste any more words. He simply lifted the poisoned and paralyzed Mei Terumi up with one hand and placed the sword against her neck.

Qing's expression immediately changed, and he angrily shouted, "Shameless! How could a grown man like you take a young girl hostage!"

"Ridiculous! Who would attack a little girl in the middle of the night?" Shunren waved his hand impatiently. "I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Send a message to the Mist Ninja headquarters right now, saying that we've been spotted on the southern border of the Land of Water."

"You want me to pass on false information!" Qing saw through Shunren's scheme at a glance. He wanted to use him to pass on false information to divert the attention of the Mist Ninja, implement a diversionary tactic, and then seize the opportunity to escape from the Land of Water from another direction.

Ao glanced at Mei Terumi, his eyes flickering, then said coldly, "Uchiha Shunren, are you misunderstanding something? I am the Mizukage's subordinate, and the assassination of rebellious elements was ordered by the Mizukage himself."

"Don't give me that nonsense." Shunren knew that the Mizukage was going to take action against the clans with Kekkei Genkai in the village, but there was one exception Mei Terumi. Ao would absolutely not kill her. Because in the future, he would support Mei Terumi to become the Fifth Mizukage. Come to think of it, with Mei Terumi possessing the power of two Kekkei Genkai, how could Ao not be attracted to her talent? Of course, he couldn't go against the current Mizukage's policies, so he could only find another way to protect Mei Terumi.

"What makes you think I'd do this for a little girl... Stop!"

Qing originally intended to deceive Shunren, but after Shunren raised his sword without saying a word, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"No need to think about it." Shunren was certain that the other party would do anything to protect Mei Terumi. "You help me pass on false information, and I'll spare her life. It's that simple. Besides, this way, you can shift the blame for the failed assassination mission onto me, right?"

Shunren kicked the corpse of the Mist Ninja Anbu who had been killed by a single sword strike. He had thought of making a deal with Qingzu when he drew his sword.

Qing hesitated for a moment, then finally had no choice but to agree to the deal with Shunren.

"Remember your words... If you dare to go back on your word and lay a finger on her, I swear I will make you pay!" Qing unleashed his murderous intent without any concealment.

However, the Shunren were not affected by this in the slightest.

Ao was similar to Inoichi; since the director wasn't involved in individual combat, he knew he couldn't defeat Shunren, who had survived a direct confrontation with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. In fact, if it were a one-on-one fight, it was uncertain who would kill whom. Ao gritted his teeth; his strength was inferior, and the hostage was in Shun's hands, so he had no choice but to obey.

Qing's eyes were tightly closed, and her hands quickly formed several hand seals.

Shunren felt an extremely fierce spiritual energy surge from the other party's body, which then quickly spread in all directions.

He couldn't help but marvel inwardly: This guy truly deserves to be the top sensory ninja of the Mist Ninja; he seems to possess a telepathic ability similar to the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Transmission Technique.

A moment later, Qing opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I've done as you instructed with the false information. When are you going to release them?"

"Wait a moment, I need to confirm something." Shunren activated his vision to the Stealth Ward he had previously deployed outside. He saw that the Mist Ninja seemed to have received some orders and were heading south in groups.

Upon hearing this, Qing's face immediately showed astonishment. He thought to himself that the Shunren in front of him looked to be only ten years old, yet his strength was formidable, and even his perception was so outstanding. Just by standing still, he could perceive the scene a hundred miles away. He was simply a human walking radar!

After confirming that the Mist Ninja's attention had been diverted, Shunren slowly put down Mei Terumi from his hand.

Seeing that Shunren kept his promise, Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred!

With her limbs limp, Mei Terumi opened her mouth and bit down hard on Shunren's wrist, her wide eyes filled with the fury of being deceived.

Qing was immediately terrified, fearing that Shunren would be enraged and slice off her head with his sword.

Surprisingly, faced with Mei Terumi's aggressive biting, Shunren simply watched her quietly, letting her bite him without getting angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Heh~ You're quite stubborn, little girl."

Pakura watched him with slight surprise, thinking to herself that this man was quite magnanimous. No... he's just a boy, okay?

"Alright, alright, you've had enough, give in now." Shunren flicked his wrist.

Mei Terumi glared at him again, but then obediently let go of his mouth, leaving deep red teeth marks mixed with saliva on Shunren's wrist.

"You big liar!"
