Lightning Release: White Lightning

"You guys be careful too." Yei pulled out a kunai from his waist, his Byakugan locked onto Nakagawa, ready for battle.

"Yeah!" Nami and Daisei both nodded, equally on guard.

"Now this is getting interesting, Konoha brats!" Nakagawa sneered, quickly forming hand seals, then pressing his hands on the ground, shouting, "Lightning Release: Earth Run!"

A crackling sound of electricity filled the air, and bolts of lightning spread from his palms, snaking along the ground towards the three of them.

"Get back!" Yei warned, pushing off the ground and leaving his spot, while simultaneously throwing a kunai.

Nami and Daisei were quick as well, instantly moving.

BOOM!

The instant they moved, a roar erupted from where they had been standing, lightning flashing and arcs exploding, black smoke rising, revealing a crater several meters wide!

"Dodged that quickly." Nakagawa smirked, raising his right hand, the steel gauntlet on the back of his hand blocking Yei's kunai with a ding.

Nearby, Nami threw several shuriken, aimed at Nakagawa's vitals from different angles.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!" Daisei landed, leaning forward, rapidly forming hand seals, and spitting out several small fireballs that scattered as they flew.

Nami and Daisei had been working together for a long time, their attacks launched one after another, perfectly coordinated, completely sealing off Nakagawa's escape routes!

Clang clang clang...

Nakagawa sneered, using his kunai to block Nami's shuriken, then leaping backward to evade the incoming Phoenix Sage Fire.

Although Nami and Daisei's attacks were perfectly timed, he was still a Jonin with plenty of combat experience; these attacks weren't enough to hit him!

Yei's Byakugan locked onto Nakagawa, predicting his landing point, and he reached into his ninja tool pouch, throwing a dozen shuriken.

"Tricks." Nakagawa scoffed, blocking the first shuriken to arrive after landing, then sidestepping to avoid the direct hit of the remaining shuriken.

However, to Nakagawa's surprise, the shuriken he dodged collided with each other behind him, creating a series of crisp clinks. The collisions altered their trajectories, and several of the shuriken flew towards him again at tricky angles.

"Hmm? Such exquisite shuriken throwing technique!" Nakagawa was slightly surprised, as if he hadn't reacted to the incoming shuriken.

Thud thud thud Sounds like sharp blades hitting dead wood echoed, and the shuriken struck Nakagawa, accompanied by a soft pop.

White smoke billowed, revealing a log that crashed to the ground.

"Nami, watch out, on your left!" In Yei's vision, Nakagawa reappeared from another location, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he shouted, "Lightning Release: Earth Run!"

As he spoke, rampant lightning surged along the ground towards Nami!

"Oh no!" Nami exclaimed, instinctively trying to dodge, but she was a split second too slow compared to the speed of the Lightning Release. She was struck directly by the surging lightning. As the electricity coursed through her, Nami turned black, emitting smoke as she collapsed to the ground...

"How weak!" Nakagawa sneered mockingly, channeling lightning chakra into his kunai and throwing it at Daisei.

Daisei reacted quickly, leaping back to avoid the kunai, but he didn't expect that after the kunai struck the ground, the electricity on it would suddenly explode, surging towards him like a venomous snake at an extremely high speed!

"Ah!" Daisei screamed as he was struck by the lightning. As the electricity surged, his hair stood on end, and he spat out black smoke, slowly collapsing like Nami...

"Now only you're left, Hyuga Clan brat!" Nakagawa easily dealt with Nami and Daisei, then looked at Yei, a playful smile on his face.

Yei glanced at Daisei and Nami, and after confirming that their lives weren't in danger, he turned to Nakagawa, narrowing his eyes and asking, "Who exactly are you people? All the ninja villages have already declared a ceasefire, so why are you attacking us?"

Thanks to the Byakugan's all-encompassing vision, Yei had also been keeping an eye on Tsurubami Ii's situation.

Being a Jonin, there was still a difference in strength. Tsurubami Ii wasn't one of the stronger Jonin in Konoha, and at this point, he was already panting. Mitsu Chika seized an opportunity when he let his guard down, and a Lightning Release ninjutsu directly hit his body, causing him to collapse on the ground, emitting black smoke...

Yei sighed inwardly, I really can't rely on them...

They didn't kill them, are they trying to capture us alive?

That's fine, it saves me a lot of trouble...

Although my current condition isn't good, a short burst of power shouldn't be a problem. It can't last too long, I need to get them to get as close as possible... Yei thought to himself, pretending to be scared, taking steps backward while scanning everyone with his eyes.

"Ceasefire? If the war stops, how will we avenge our hatred? The higher-ups have already been scared witless by that Yellow Flash guy, what a bunch of cowards!" Nakagawa sneered, looking at Yei as he retreated step by step, his eyes full of mockery and hatred!

The others also slowly surrounded Yei.

Even Mitsu Chika, who had defeated Tsurubami Ii, did the same. He grabbed Tsurubami Ii and tossed him aside, looking at Yei mockingly, "Too bad, he's from the branch family. It would have been better if he was from the main family. The Hyuga main family has a high bounty on their heads in the black market! But the branch family is fine too, the one who killed my brother was from the Hyuga Clan! Don't worry, we won't kill you, our 'hospitality' isn't over yet! Hahaha!"

At the end, Mitsu Chika laughed wildly, his face displaying killing intent, joy, hatred, and various other emotions!

I see... A pitiful worm whose eyes have been blinded by hatred... Yei couldn't help but shake his head. These people's goal was indeed what he had guessed.

Yei couldn't say anything about it. War was just like that, it wasn't like hatred would disappear just because a ceasefire was declared.

However, looking at the approaching figures, Yei clicked his tongue and cursed inwardly, "I didn't really want to fight, but now this happened, what a pain..."

Ever since a certain accident, Yei's meridians had suffered severe damage. Although it wasn't enough to completely paralyze him, it was more difficult for him to circulate chakra than others...

If ordinary chakra circulation was difficult, not to mention the Lightning Release chakra he often used...

The destructive power of Lightning Release chakra was much greater than ordinary chakra damage!

Plus, with the war showing no signs of stopping, he had to go into battle with his injuries to prevent others from seeing the clues in his body. Even now, his injuries still hadn't completely healed...

He thought that the Third Shinobi World War was about to end and that there would be a period of peace for him to recover, but he didn't expect this to happen...

However, seeing that several of his companions had been defeated, he had no choice but to act. Yei felt very unlucky about this!

Fortunately, if he went all out, it shouldn't take too long to deal with everyone here!!

"Forget it, I'll just get rid of you guys as soon as possible." Yei twisted his neck, his Byakugan staring at Nakagawa. He formed the "Snake" hand seal with one hand, and a wisp of electricity appeared between his fingers as a faint voice came out:

"Lightning Release: White Lightning!"
