Yei didn't even glance at the man, shifting his focus to a Chunin nearby.
Against a Chunin, Yei didn't need to waste much time at all.
He increased his speed, and in a few moves, he directly killed the Chunin.
As he killed the Chunin, the surrounding thick fog gradually dissipated; it was he who had cast the Hiding in Mist Technique just now...
Yei looked towards his companions. Kakashi, burdened with carrying Biwa Juzo, was besieged by Hoshigaki Kisame and another Jonin, and was now at a disadvantage.
Asuma's opponents were two Kirigakure ninja with Chunin-level Chakra, whom he could barely handle, but he wouldn't last long.
These people, like them, should be Kirigakure Special Jonin. Although their overall strength hadn't reached Jonin level, they had unique strengths in certain areas.
As for Shisui, the combat power he was displaying was also extremely strong. Although he was somewhat wary of Samehada in Suikazan Fuguki's hands, he was fighting back and forth, not needing Yei to worry.
"Asuma, I'll help you!" Yei didn't hesitate, directly rushing towards Asuma's location.
Against Chunin, Yei's extreme speed and super-strong perception were simply a dimensional strike. In just a few moves, he killed the two Chunin.
"You're a great help, Yei." Asuma breathed a sigh of relief. He was no longer so surprised that Yei possessed such strength.
No matter when, he had never seen panic or fear in Yei's expression, as if no matter what situation he faced, he was so calm and composed.
It was as if he had everything under control!
Asuma's Chakra consumption was also extremely high, and he took out Soldier Pills to consume.
"You rest for a bit, I'll go help Kakashi." Yei also took out Soldier Pills from his Ninja Tool Pouch and consumed them. After the battle just now, the Chakra in his body had also been depleted considerably...
Relying on the Soldier Pills to recover some Chakra, he pushed off the ground and rushed in another direction.
Over there, Kakashi was facing two Jonin alone, one of whom was the powerful Hoshigaki Kisame. Facing the two, he was also somewhat struggling.
What's more, he was carrying Biwa Juzo, and could only barely parry.
In the end, he was careless and was hit by one of their Ninjutsu. The water flow washed over him, pushing Kakashi into a large tree. The Biwa Juzo he was carrying slipped out of his grasp and was rescued by Kisame.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" A Kirigakure Jonin pressed his advantage, forming hand seals rapidly. Behind him, the water surged, turning into a water dragon roaring out.
"Damn it!" Kakashi gritted his teeth and also took out Soldier Pills to consume. The Chakra in his body was also running low.
Originally, his body hadn't reached its peak, and adding the burden of a Sharingan, his Chakra was less than that of an average Jonin.
Plus, he had already experienced a great battle before, and at this time, his Chakra was almost bottoming out.
Like Yei, he had a weakness in this aspect of Chakra.
Although ninja are constantly refining Chakra, the speed of refinement is far less than the consumption in battle.
"Lightning Blade!" After consuming a few Soldier Pills, the Chakra in his body also recovered a bit. He formed hand seals rapidly, and amidst the chirping of a thousand birds, his right hand stabbed towards the incoming water dragon!
With a 'boom', the water flow exploded. Kakashi's speed didn't decrease, his Sharingan locked onto the enemy, and he rushed out swiftly.
Thanks to Yei killing the Chunin who had cast the Hiding in Mist Technique, the vision was no longer blurred, allowing Kakashi to lock onto the enemy's figure.
This strike will surely kill this person!
"A straightforward attack, although it's fast, do you think you can hit me?" A mocking look flashed across the Jonin's face. In the battle just now, he had already learned Kakashi's identity.
Kakashi's name was on file in the intelligence of all the major Ninja Villages. As a Jonin, he naturally wouldn't miss out on information.
Seeing Kakashi rushing over at high speed, he just sneered: "Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!"
As he cast his Ninjutsu, thick fog rose again around them, blurring the surrounding scenery.
As ninja from Kirigakure, they had their own methods of judging the enemy's position in the thick fog.
However, just as he wanted to take advantage of the thick fog and blend into it, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of danger...
'Bang bang bang...'
As several sounds of earth breaking came, several Ninja Hounds leaped out from underground, biting his hands and feet, and firmly pinning him in place!
"Summoning Animal? When? Crap!" The pain coming from his body made the Jonin's face change drastically. Realizing something was wrong, he struggled, but found that apart from the Ninja Hounds' sharp teeth sinking deeper into his body, he couldn't break free at all!
The Jonin's face changed drastically, but unable to break free from the Ninja Hounds' restraints, he could only watch Kakashi, wielding lightning, getting closer and closer, and finally watch his right hand pierce through his chest!
"Huff huff..." After solving this enemy, Kakashi gasped heavily, kneeling on one knee on the ground. His Chakra was close to exhaustion, and even standing up was extremely difficult...
"Are you alright?" Yei came to Kakashi's side and asked.
Kakashi shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, just too much Chakra consumption..."
Yei nodded, looking towards Hoshigaki Kisame, who had taken Biwa Juzo away, and Shisui, he said: "I have some Chakra left, but not much."
After continuous running around, plus using Ninjutsu multiple times before, the Chakra in Yei's body was also greatly consumed at this time, only barely supported by Soldier Pills.
Although Soldier Pills can restore some Chakra, the restored Chakra is not much, and there are side effects afterwards, so they can only be used in emergencies.
Of course, Yei wasn't without a backup plan. His Lightning Release Stimulation Method could stimulate his body's cells to accelerate regeneration, forcibly extracting Chakra, but this would cause damage to his body, and even shorten his lifespan...
Commonly known as -- a life-draining warrior!
This was Yei's last resort, and he wouldn't use it lightly!
"Biwa Juzo is the culprit who attacked the border outpost, we can't let him run away! Even if we can't bring him back to Konoha, we must kill him here!" Kakashi struggled to get up and took out a few more Soldier Pills to consume, barely recovering some Chakra. He looked coldly towards the direction of Hoshigaki Kisame, who had rescued Biwa Juzo.
Watching Kakashi's performance, Yei shook his head slightly. Kakashi's obsession was a bit deep. Was he thinking about Rin's matter?
After all, in Kakashi's view, Rin had died in a Kirigakure ninja's conspiracy...
He harbored an inexplicable hatred for Kirigakure...
Coupled with the revenge for the Konoha ninjas who died at the hands of Biwa Juzo and the others, and the Fourth Hokage's words before the mission, telling them not to tarnish Konoha's reputation, Kakashi, as the Fourth's disciple, naturally kept all of this in mind!
This already involved the dignity of their Konoha!
Therefore, Kakashi was unwilling to compromise with Suikazan Fuguki just now!
Moreover, as the main culprit of this incident, Biwa Juzo must die!!
