Was Tenzen a Cloud Ninja Spy?

Blocking Shunren and his party were Cloud Ninja, Yotsuki Teki, Di, Kazumori!

"What's going on? Where's Inoichi- sensei?!" Kurenai cried out in alarm upon seeing the enemy suddenly appear before her.

"..." Shunren was also taken aback by the Cloud Ninja's move. Space-Time Ninjutsu —he hadn't expected that anyone in the Cloud Ninja would know how to use it. But upon closer reflection, it seemed that the Cloud Ninja had indeed used such a technique in the original story.

"That Heavenly Transfer Technique?" During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Cloud Ninja used this technique to transport the Amber Purifying Pot and the Six Paths Tools, and also to send the Raikage and Tsunade directly to the battlefield.

"Oh? A Genin from Konoha actually knows our Cloud Ninja's advanced forbidden technique?" Yotsuki Teki seemed quite surprised that Shunren knew this technique. "Kazumori, using forbidden techniques repeatedly, is your Chakra okay?"

"Don't worry, I prepared plenty of Military Ration Pill before coming." Kazumori ate a few more Military Ration Pill, then his gaze swept over Shunren and the others, as if searching for something.

A glint of light flashed in Shunren's eyes, but he remained outwardly calm.

Hong pondered for a moment and said, "What do we do now, Shunren?"

He took the secret letter scroll from his pocket and handed it to Tenzen, saying calmly, "Hong, you escort Tenzen to continue the mission. I'll stay here to delay them."

"Wait, Shunren!" Red Eye widened slightly, his face filled with doubt. Anyone with eyes could see that the two Cloud Ninja in front of them were far stronger than they could handle, yet Shunren claimed he would fight two against one. Wasn't that absurd?

Yotsuki Teki stared at him intently for a moment, his body swirling with vibrant Chakra.

"Please wait a moment!" However, Kazumori stopped him, a meaningful sneer on his face. "Something interesting is about to happen."

"Um?!"

"Tenzen? What are you doing?!" Hong stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Tenzen walked straight towards Cloud Ninja, carrying the scroll and secret letter.

"I see..." A look of understanding flashed across Yotsuki Teki's face. "The intelligence from the messenger team was delivered by him."

"Just as I thought!" Kazumori added, "You provided the coordinates of the Konoha Ninja's location, didn't you?"

Tenzen nodded and smiled, saying, "Cloud Ninja Anbu Ninja, codename: Art!" As he finished speaking, Tenzen's voice changed from a male voice to a female voice, and his appearance and body also changed.

With short, wine-red hair, gray eyes, and a tall figure, though her chest and hips are somewhat lacking, and her dark skin, one might mistakenly think that "Tenzen," who is actually male, seems to possess more feminine strength than "Yi," who is female.

They changed into ninja Forehead Protector representing the Cloud Ninja.

The answer is clear: Tenzen's true identity is actually a member of the Cloud Ninja Anbu codenamed Yi!

"Damn it! Tenzen was actually a spy sent by the Cloud Ninja!" Kurenai gritted her teeth and said, feeling a chill run down her spine. A ninja from an enemy country had actually infiltrated Konoha and joined their ranks, taking away the top-secret letter without lifting a finger!

Yi tossed the scroll and secret letter to Kazumori, saying calmly, "I have completed the mission entrusted to me by Lord Raikage. To infiltrate Konoha, I sacrificed most of my Jonin strength. Now it's up to you."

"You've worked hard, my comrade." Yotsuki Teki and Kazumori couldn't help but feel a deep respect. To sacrifice his own strength for the mission was truly admirable. Also, no wonder they couldn't sense any comradeship from Yi at all; so that was the reason.

"Kazumori, let's use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to send the letter scroll back to headquarters first." The cautious Yotsuki Teki, to avoid any unforeseen complications, chose to send the item back to headquarters as soon as possible.

Kazumori deep voice, "But my current Chakra only allows me to use the Heavenly Transfer Technique one more time, and it will take about half a day to recover afterward..."

"It's alright, I'll leave as soon as I've dealt with these two brats," Yotsuki Teki said calmly.

Yi also stepped forward and said, "Although most of my strength has been crippled, I can still deal with lowly Genin."

"Really?" Yotsuki Teki didn't think much of it and casually said, "Then let's each take one and finish it quickly."

The Cloud Ninja had already seized the letter scroll; their next step was to kill them to silence them.

Shunren, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He gestured with both hands, "Yin Release - Projection!"

Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands.

At the same time, he used the Mind Transmission Technique to convey a message to Hong.

"So that's how it is!?" After receiving the message from Shunren, Hong's face underwent another dramatic change. She stared intently at Yi across from her before her panicked heart calmed down.

Unlike the villains one might expect, Yotsuki Teki didn't talk a lot of nonsense, nor did he carelessly underestimate Shun because Shunren was only Genin. As the Raikage's capable assistant, he possessed a rigorous attitude towards everything.

"Smack!"

With a single step, Yotsuki Teki transformed into a cannonball and charged towards Shunren!

Shunren, like a tiger or leopard, charged out swiftly, sword raised—

"Uchiha Style Swordsmanship: Welcoming the Hunt!"

Facing Shunren's powerful strike, a glint flashed in Yotsuki Teki's eyes. As an excellent Jonin, he could naturally see the subtlety of Shunren's move at a glance. However, as the saying goes, skill breeds daring. Even knowing that Shunren's sword technique contained another killing intent, Yotsuki Teki still dared to grab it with his bare hands!

Lightning Release Chakra enveloped his palm, forming a thick, armored hand.

"Bite!"

When Shunren swung his sword down, it felt as if he had struck an extremely hard metal or stone. However, he reacted quickly and immediately released his grip on the sword.

The white sword flew from his right hand, but instead of being knocked away, it was flung into the air.

Shunren turned the black sword in his left hand, aiming straight for his opponent's chest.

Yotsuki Teki, however, reached out with his tiger-like hand and, before Shunren's sword could pierce his body, seized Shunren's left wrist, his five fingers gripping Shunren's arm like iron clamps.

Then, Yotsuki Teki clenched his other hand into a huge fist and smashed it mercilessly toward Shunren's head.

Despite the fierce punch that seemed to whistle through the air, Shunren remained unfazed.

"Hmm?!" Yotsuki Teki keenly noticed a faint sound of wind breaking above his head, and then subconsciously turned to the side.

"Swoosh~" The white sword that had been flung into the air earlier fell down, its sharp blade grazing the back of his hand that was gripping Shunren's, leaving a wound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shunren immediately broke free from his opponent's grasp and retreated rapidly.

Having suffered a minor loss, Yotsuki Teki naturally wouldn't let it go and immediately gave chase.

Shunren held the sword with his hand reversed, and then threw it with all his might!

The blade transformed into Shuriken, tracing an arc horizontally as it flew towards Yotsuki Teki. It abruptly stopped spinning beside him, and then the tip of the blade swiftly pierced towards his neck!
