The two Kirigakure shinobi concealed in the mist spoke as though they had already taken Chiga, Kakashi, and Sasori of the Red Sands for granted.
"Quit playing tricks!"
Chiga gave a cold laugh, clapped his hands, and prepared to use Wind Release to blow away the thick mist.
"Watch out!"
However, at that moment, Kakashi suddenly shouted a warning at Chiga.
Chiga was startled. As if sensing something, he turned to look behind him, only to discover that a tall figure had appeared there.
The moment the figure realized he had been discovered, he attacked. The weapon in his hand was long, thin, and sharp, and it stabbed straight toward Chiga's heart.
So fast!
The speed was so great that even Chiga, who had activated his One-Tomoe Sharingan, could not see it clearly. He could only make out a blurry shadow.
He immediately understood that his opponent was definitely a Jonin, perhaps even an Elite Jonin.
Compared to that half-baked ninja he had encountered during the graduation exam, this Kirigakure shinobi's infiltration skills were far more impressive!
With no time to dodge, Chiga could only use the Substitution Technique again!
The instant the Longsword stabbed toward him, Chiga once again transformed into a crow.
This time, Kushimaru Kuriarare did not make the same choice as Sasori of the Red Sands and attack Chiga's crow.
Chiga, who had dodged to the side, also let out a sigh of relief.
Raising crows isn't easy. I can't have another petty bastard showing up.
At last, Chiga had time to see who had arrived.
He had yellow, fluffy, spiky hair and wore a black shirt and trousers. A Kirigakure ANBU mask covered his face, and he was tall, with long, slender limbs.
He was none other than Kushimaru Kuriarare, wielder of the Longsword ·
