Yei looked at Kakashi and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Biwa Juzo get away. You rest well, leave the rest to me. As a member of the Hyuga Clan of Konoha, I can't be outdone by Shisui!"
With that, Yei took a deep breath, activated his Byakugan, and looked at Hoshigaki Kisame, who was taking Biwa Juzo away. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself, Hoshigaki Kisame...
Hoshigaki Kisame was a member of the Akatsuki in the original story. Judging from his performance in the original story, his combat power was definitely Kage-level. Moreover, with Samehada, he had an advantage against other ninjas, only to unfortunately encounter Might Guy, a freak who only knew Taijutsu...
However, as Yei looked, he didn't detect any strong Chakra fluctuations from Hoshigaki Kisame in his Byakugan's vision...
Before obtaining Samehada, was Kisame just a regular Jonin...? Yei guessed in his heart. Of course, he didn't dare to be careless.
The Byakugan could be interfered with, as could be seen in the Death Forest. As long as one responded properly, it was possible to interfere with the Byakugan's detection to some extent...
On the other side, Hoshigaki Kisame also sensed Yei's gaze and gave him a ferocious smile with sharp teeth.
Yei looked at Hoshigaki Kisame and said in a indifferent tone, "Kirigakure ninja, hand that guy over!"
Hoshigaki Kisame also carefully sized up Yei. Seeing the Byakugan behind his mask, he was slightly surprised. "The Hyuga Clan of Konoha? The Uchiha over there, the Konoha genius Kakashi Hatake, and you, a member of the Hyuga Clan. The Anbu from Konoha this time are quite impressive."
Yei twisted his neck, his gaze filled with killing intent as he looked at Hoshigaki Kisame. "Enough nonsense, hand over Biwa Juzo!"
"If you want to take Biwa Juzo away, then... defeat him!" Hoshigaki Kisame said with a smile.
Earlier, he had already injected his Chakra into Biwa Juzo's body to help him break free from the Genjutsu.
Although Biwa Juzo was now a Kirigakure rogue ninja, in a way, he was their enemy.
But even if he had to kill Biwa Juzo here, he wouldn't let the people of Konoha take Biwa Juzo away!
As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Biwa Juzo knew too many secrets of Kirigakure!
Hoshigaki Kisame had some judgment about his own strength. At most, he was just an ordinary Jonin now and didn't think he could easily defeat Yei, a Kirigakure Jonin...
He needed help, so he planned to release Biwa Juzo from the Genjutsu and let Biwa Juzo deal with the Konoha Anbu!
He believed he understood Biwa Juzo's personality to some extent!
Arrogant, proud, and unwilling to suffer losses, he almost fell into the hands of these Anbu, so he would definitely not let it go!
Also, even if Biwa Juzo chose to leave after breaking free from the Genjutsu, it could prevent Biwa Juzo from falling into the hands of Konoha!
However, the Genjutsu that Biwa Juzo was under was very powerful, and it took him some time to completely break the Genjutsu on him...
Just as his voice fell, a powerful Chakra wave suddenly erupted from Biwa Juzo's body. He opened his eyes, and the Executioner's Blade in his hand slashed directly at Hoshigaki Kisame.
However, Hoshigaki Kisame seemed to have anticipated his movements. He flashed and left the spot, avoiding Biwa Juzo's attack.
"You've been a great help, Hoshigaki Kisame!" Although Biwa Juzo was under Genjutsu, he still had some awareness of the outside world and wasn't completely cut off from external perception.
He knew that Hoshigaki Kisame had helped him escape from Shisui's Genjutsu, but he didn't appreciate it. After all, Hoshigaki Kisame was there to hunt him down, and they were enemies!
Moreover, he was well aware of Hoshigaki Kisame's intentions!
"Hehe, Biwa Juzo-senpai, it's not appropriate to attack your savior, is it?" Hoshigaki Kisame jumped back and stood on the canopy of a large tree, looking at Biwa Juzo.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Biwa Juzo curled his lips, but his gaze turned towards Shisui's side. He snorted coldly, "But it's fine. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to break free from that damn Genjutsu!"
Shisui Uchiha's Genjutsu was indeed terrifying. If Hoshigaki Kisame hadn't helped, it would have taken him a long time to break free from Shisui's Genjutsu, and by then, he would probably be dead...
Biwa Juzo's gaze swept over Yei and the others. Although he wasn't good at sensory techniques, he could tell that the state of the Konoha Anbu wasn't very good. Shisui Uchiha, whom he feared, was now being held back by Suikazan Fuguki, and he wasn't afraid of the others!
Looking at Yei, Biwa Juzo smiled coldly, "Damn Konoha ninjas, since you dared to play tricks on me, then be prepared to be killed here!"
"Tch..." Yei couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw that Biwa Juzo had been released from the Genjutsu by Hoshigaki Kisame. He cursed inwardly, Troublesome.
They had finally defeated Biwa Juzo and controlled him with Genjutsu, but now he had been released from the Genjutsu by Hoshigaki Kisame, and they had to fight again...
Biwa Juzo's strength was not weak!
Yei frowned slightly and made a decision in his heart!
At this moment, Biwa Juzo had only one thought, and that was to kill all the Konoha Anbu in front of him!
He quickly formed hand seals and shouted:
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Whoosh, boom!
As the fierce torrent swept in, it was accompanied by a huge water dragon soaring and charging over!
Yei's eyes narrowed, and the power of Lightning Release spread throughout his body, enhancing his physical qualities and stimulating the accelerated regeneration of his body cells, forcibly extracting Chakra!
Facing Biwa Juzo, an elite Jonin, Yei didn't dare to be careless. He definitely couldn't beat him with insufficient Chakra!
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Yei raised his hand and pushed out a palm, adding Hadō No. 1: Shō to the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, increasing its power by a notch.
The Chakra turned into a shockwave, piercing through the water dragon, and water splashed everywhere. However, in the next moment, the water flow condensed into a dragon again, charging over with unabated momentum.
But taking advantage of this opportunity, Yei had already leaped up, using Geppo to step on the air and rush straight into the sky. While avoiding the Water Dragon Bullet Technique attack, he pointed his head down again, like a sharp arrow rushing straight down.
Shuriken and Kunai appeared in his hand and were thrown towards Biwa Juzo. With a 'ding ding ding' collision, the bladed tools attacked Biwa Juzo from all directions, with trajectories as varied as wasps.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Biwa Juzo formed hand seals, and finally clasped his hands together. The water flow surged under his feet, turning into a shield to block the bladed tools attacking from all directions.
Biwa Juzo's figure passed through the water curtain, and the Executioner's Blade in his hand slashed fiercely at the falling Yei.
Yei took out a Kunai, and Lightning Release Chakra was attached to it. The electric current extended into a Chakra short sword, colliding with Biwa Juzo!
With a clang, water exploded beneath their feet. They stalemated for a moment, then simultaneously retreated, only to charge back in!
The clanging of metal on metal rang out sharply.
Thanks to the Byakugan's insight, Biwa Juzo's attacks didn't escape his eyes. Observation Haki predicted his next move, and Yei smirked, flinging a kunai crackling with electricity, piercing Biwa Juzo's body.
However, he saw the water splash apart, and Biwa Juzo's body suddenly turned into a stream of water.
"Water Replacement?" Yei used Observation Haki to pinpoint Biwa Juzo's aura, and in the next moment, he sensed an attack coming from beneath his feet.
Due to the continuous Water Release attacks, the area had already become a waterlogged world.
Yei was fighting Biwa Juzo while standing on the water's surface.
Sensing the attack coming from below, Yei didn't dodge or evade. The Executioner's Blade struck his body, but with a 'poof' of white smoke, he turned into a piece of deadwood, sliced in two.
Yei's figure darted out from another location, his body surging with Lightning Release Chakra. He rapidly formed hand seals: "Chidori Current!"
A crackling sound echoed as a torrent of lightning power spread from Yei's body, permeating the water.
Water conducts electricity. Taking advantage of the surrounding environment, Yei locked onto Biwa Juzo, and the electrical current spread at an incredible speed!
"Hmm?" Biwa Juzo's expression shifted slightly as he leaped away, landing on the crown of a tree, looking down at Yei with some uncertainty.
This Konoha Anbu from the Hyuga Clan was not only proficient in Lightning Release but also possessed impressive weapon-based close combat skills, and his perception was extremely sharp, often able to predict his attack routes in advance and react accordingly...
It was completely different from the fighting style of the Hyuga Clan members he had in mind!
Someone tell him, what exactly was going on with this Hyuga Clan member?!
