Mist Visitors

Yei had also chased after him.

His Byakugan fixed on Biwa Juzo as he landed, his gaze as still as an ancient well. Lightning Release Chakra boiled around him as he activated the stimulation method, enhancing his physical abilities!

Combined with Soru's extreme speed, Yei's speed surged abruptly. In an instant, he appeared before Biwa Juzo, rapidly forming hand seals. "Lightning Release Seal: Beak Thrust Three Flash!"

As he formed the seals, Lightning Release Chakra burst from his body, forming three connected beams of lightning that "bit" toward Biwa Juzo.

"Damn it! You dare?!" The successive attacks seemed rehearsed, leaving Biwa Juzo no time to react at all.

Biwa Juzo had also been careless. He had not expected Shisui's Susanoo to possess such tremendous force. He was struck in one blow and fell straight into their encirclement!

The attacks followed one after another, not giving him even the slightest chance to respond!

Unable to evade in time, his right foot was directly "bitten" by Yei's Beak Thrust Three Flash the next moment, pinning him to the ground!

Yei had long discovered that Bakudo from the world of Bleach manifested in this world similarly to sealing techniques.

For instance, the Lightning Release Seal: Beak Thrust Three Flash Yei was using now was a ninjutsu evolved from Bakudo #30: Beak Thrust Three Flash.

The three beams of lightning could not only restrain an enemy, but the Lightning Release Chakra within them also carried lightning's paralyzing properties. Anyone "bitten" by them would have their body instantly paralyzed by electricity!

It could be considered a type of sealing technique!

The power of lightning erupted abruptly and invaded Biwa Juzo's body, making him grunt as his body stiffened for an instant from the electricity.

"Shisui! Control him with genjutsu!" Seeing this, Yei's eyes lit up as he shouted lowly at Shisui, who was charging over again.

He did not approach, wary that Biwa Juzo might suddenly erupt and make a desperate last stand.

Shisui's genjutsu, on the other hand, could be cast through his eyes, making it safer...

"Got it, Senior!" Shisui nodded and swiftly rushed forward, his Mangekyo fixed on Biwa Juzo. "Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

"Damn it!" Biwa Juzo cursed as chakra surged through his body. He was no weakling, and the amount of chakra he unleashed at this moment was formidable—absolutely at the elite Jonin level!

Using that burst of chakra, he forcibly dispelled the numbness in his body and swung the Executioner's Blade at the Beak Thrust Three Flash restraining him!

Although he broke through Beak Thrust Three Flash, it was already too late. Hearing the sound of wind tearing through the air, Biwa Juzo instinctively looked up and met Shisui's eyes!

The next moment, Biwa Juzo felt his consciousness grow hazy, as though the entire world had vanished. Before him, only a pair of blood-red eyes shaped like four-bladed pinwheels slowly rotated!

"Genjutsu..." Biwa Juzo's pupils contracted sharply. The Uchiha Clan's genjutsu was renowned throughout the Shinobi World, and he immediately sensed something was terribly wrong. His expression changed drastically!

But the next moment, phantom images of four-bladed pinwheel Mangekyo appeared in his eye sockets, and his consciousness was completely brought under control!

He had fallen under Shisui's genjutsu!

Every member of the Uchiha Clan was a master of genjutsu, and Shisui was undoubtedly among the very strongest in the clan when it came to genjutsu!

From the Uchiha Clan's emergence until now, there were scarcely any who could be said to have surpassed Shisui in genjutsu!

Even without using the bug-level Kotoamatsukami, Shisui could easily control Tailed Beasts with the genjutsu prowess of his current Mangekyo, let alone Biwa Juzo, who possessed only elite Jonin-level strength!

In terms of genjutsu, Shisui was the strongest person in the Shinobi World at this stage!

It could be said that without outside help, breaking Shisui's genjutsu through one's own strength was nearly impossible!

The instant Biwa Juzo made eye contact with Shisui, just like Kurenai, his defeat had already been decided!

"Ugh..." After finishing everything, Shisui clutched his eyes and dropped to one knee, panting heavily. A streak of bloody tears flowed from his eye sockets, while the chakra fluctuations around him churned violently!

"This... is it over? Those eyes... the Mangekyo Sharingan!" Asuma was the slowest, only arriving now. Seeing the three of them effortlessly deal with Biwa Juzo and the other two, he was deeply shocked!

Especially when he saw the Mangekyo Sharingan in Shisui's eye sockets, his heart inexplicably trembled!

As the Third Hokage's son, he knew some of the village's secrets!

Naturally, he knew what the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan was!

But he had never expected that Shisui, at such a young age, possessed this kind of power!

And the Lightning Release ninjutsu Yei had used was also something he had never seen before!

These guys... really are monsters. Asuma muttered inwardly. Being classmates with people like them placed immense pressure on him as well...

Although Biwa Juzo had been controlled with genjutsu, Yei and the other three did not relax. They landed beside the controlled Biwa Juzo and looked toward the people who had suddenly appeared.

Almost immediately after Shisui controlled Biwa Juzo with genjutsu, several people arrived from another direction!

Judging from their attire, they were ninjas from the Mist!

This was an eight-man squad.

At the front was a fat man with sharp teeth, fluffy bandages wrapped around his neck, and green stripes painted across his cheeks.

A massive sword wrapped in bandages was strapped to his back!

This man was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Suikazan Fuguki, wielder of Samehada!

He was also the one responsible for pursuing the rogue Biwa Juzo.

Behind him were his squad members. One of them had dark blue hair, a shark-like face, golden pupils, sharp teeth, and skin unlike that of an ordinary person.

He was Kisame!

The rest included two Jonin and four Chunin.

These eight people had come from the Mist to hunt down Biwa Juzo and the other rogue ninja!

They had stubbornly stayed on Biwa Juzo's tail, refusing to give up!

Having just arrived, Suikazan Fuguki, who led the group, looked over the scene. His gaze swept across everyone present before settling on Yei and the other three, his brow furrowing slightly. "Konoha Anbu?"

He then looked at the restrained Biwa Juzo, his eyes abruptly narrowing. "He was captured?"

After surveying the surrounding area, Suikazan Fuguki silently guessed at what had happened here. Then he turned to Yei's group and said, "Konoha Anbu, that man is a Rogue Ninja of our Mist. Hand him over to the Mist for us to deal with!"

Kakashi looked at Suikazan Fuguki and recognized him as well—Suikazan Fuguki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

But Kakashi naturally had no intention of agreeing to his demand. He said coldly, "We have already determined that they were the ones who attacked our Border Outpost. By order of the Fourth Hokage, we came to apprehend the perpetrators. They are Rogue Ninja of your Mist; the Mist has no right to interfere with our operation!"
