Facing the Cloud Ninja!

(Please recommend and add to your favorites)

The Team 8 heading to the border had enjoyed two and a half days of peace, but an accident finally occurred when only half a day of travel remained.

"Whoosh~" Inoichi, who was clearing the way ahead, raised a stop gesture.

"What's wrong, Inoichi- sensei? Did you notice anything unusual?" Kurenai asked, but she didn't immediately grab Kunai and assume a fighting stance. With Inoichi's "human radar" ability, he could detect enemy movements from ten kilometers away, and making preparations after detection would be a piece of cake.

"Prepare for battle, immediately!" Inoichi said solemnly. "There are three enemies, all with considerable Chakra! They are less than two kilometers away, but their exact location is unknown."

"What?" Hong Fang was now somewhat alarmed. Two kilometers was far too short for a ninja. Inoichi had his senses activated the entire time; how could the enemy have suddenly gotten so close?

Shunren's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Anti-perception, by blocking the perception of others, can achieve the effect of invisibility to some extent."

Inoichi nodded, his voice low and deep, "The enemy came prepared, and at this distance, a safe retreat is clearly impossible."

After saying this, Inoichi tossed the sealed scroll to Shunren and said calmly, "From now on, Shunren will be the commander of the Team 8. You continue with your mission; I'll stay behind to hold off the enemy!"

"But Inoichi- sensei..." Kurenai looked at him with concern, after all, Inoichi had just said that there were three enemies, and all of them possessed considerable Chakra.

"That's an order!" Inoichi said sternly.

Tenzen remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on the scroll in Shunren's hand.

Two kilometers away, Cloud Ninja.

Roishi formed a hand seal with her hands, then slowly lowered them, saying calmly, "It's been discovered. The secret technique of the Konoha Yamanaka Clan is indeed well-deserved."

Yotsuki Teki's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, let's make our move!"

"Swish swish~"

The three Cloud Ninja transformed into three streaks of light and flashed away quickly.

In no time at all, the Cloud Ninja arrived in front of Inoichi.

"There were three other streams of Chakra just now..." Roishi looked around and, finding that the others had vanished without a trace, frowned. "A sensory impairment?"

Ninjas skilled in Sensory Technique often possess the ability to counter sensory perception. Roishi used an electromagnetic barrier to shield Inoichi's Chakra signal, allowing him to approach within a range of nearly two kilometers without being detected.

Inoichi followed suit, releasing spiritual energy to interfere with the opponent's Sensory Technique, causing them to mistakenly believe that Shunren and the others were also staying in the same place.

Yotsuki Teki glanced around and immediately understood Inoichi's methods. Without saying another word, he surrounded himself with lightning and used a lightning-fast Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Inoichi and deliver a punch!

"So fast!" Inoichi's pupils constricted. If his Mind's Eye hadn't detected the opponent's Chakra surge in advance, he really wouldn't have been able to react in time.

"Boom!" Yotsuki Teki's heavy fist slammed into the ground, creating a large crater!

"Um?"

Ninja Art: Mind Body Disturbance Technique!

Inoichi quickly distanced himself from his opponent, and at the last second, he manipulated the opponent's oncoming fist to smash it into the ground.

"A secret technique that allows you to control limbs?" Yotsuki Teki clenched his fist, disrupting the Chakra flow in the hand and expelling the other's manipulation.

"Pretty capable, huh? Then let's try this!" Suddenly Kazumori, Ichigo, holding a bunch of Shuriken his hands, threw them at Inoichi.

"Hmm!" Inoichi keenly noticed that each of these Shuriken contained a steel wire.

The opponent used a steel wire to constantly alter the trajectory of the Shuriken, but despite this, Inoichi was still able to catch each Shuriken with his Mind's Eye. Inoichi's figure moved nimbly, constantly weaving and dodging among the strangely flying Shuriken.

"Pfft~"

Surprisingly, a Shuriken was embedded in Inoichi's back.

"Hmph!" Roishi coldly said, forming a hand seal with one hand, "Perception impairment isn't something you're the only one who can do!"

It turns out that Roishi used the same method to interfere with Inoichi's perception, allowing a Shuriken to be planted right under the nose of his Mind's Eye!

"Not good!" Inoichi the injury on his back, the surging Chakra coming from behind made the hairs on his body stand on end!

"Cloud Ninja Style Nintaijutsu: Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!" Suddenly, Yotsuki Teki transformed into a high-speed train, crashing violently into Inoichi at an astonishing speed.

Inoichi was instantly sent flying by the terrifying impact and turned into a wooden stake.

"Substitution Technique? That's really troublesome."

"Hoo~" Inoichi's figure disappeared into the grass not far away, and he covered himself with a layer of anti-sensory spell, thinking to himself: There are three enemies, and a head-on confrontation is simply a dead end.

"At his speed, he can't escape far, Xi!" Based on the force of the contact just now, Yotsuki Teki had already calculated Inoichi's movement speed.

Roishi immediately used her senses to scan, but found nothing? That's impossible! She immediately increased her mental energy input. Although she still couldn't pinpoint Inoichi's exact location, she could roughly deduce his general direction.

"Within 200 meters of the area between 10:00 and 11:30!"

Yotsuki Teki Hand Seals, "Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!"

He unleashed massive shockwaves of lightning from both palms, carpet-bombing the location Roishi had indicated!

"Cough cough~" Inoichi's body was grazed by lightning, and half of his body was numb, but despite this, he still endured it and did not come out.

"Hmph! A defensive strategy, is it to buy time?" Yotsuki Teki wasn't stupid; she saw through Inoichi's hidden purpose. "Don't even think about it. No matter where they run, they won't escape our grasp!"

"Kazumori, prepare the Heavenly Transfer Technique!"

"Learn!"

Upon hearing Inoichi's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the risk of revealing his location, he immediately jumped out of the bushes, shouting, "Stop right there!"

"Whoosh~"

"Found you!" Roishi appeared before him in an instant, coldly saying, "Your opponent is me! Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Pillar!"

The intense light generated by lightning blinded Inoichi and used the halo as a medium to construct Genjutsu!

"Damn it!" Inoichi immediately formed hand seals, "Release!"

"Untie!"

"Untie!"

"Untie!"

After dispelling four layers of Genjutsu, Inoichi's consciousness finally returned to reality.

However, at this moment, only Roishi was in front of him; the other two were no longer within his perception range!
