Fierce Battle in Amegakure
"Ice Release, Lance".
Yuki Yoizuki is beautiful, but her hands are ruthless.
The thick, sharp ice spear shot out, piercing through the thin wall. Rain Ninja, who was hiding behind the wall, stared wide-eyed until her death as the bloodstained ice spear pierced through her chest, and her life force quickly vanished.
"How boring!"
The beautiful woman muttered softly as she followed her companions along the street.
The Rain Ninja's resistance was very disorganized.
Having apparently not expected to advance into the village so quickly, the Rain Ninja were initially stunned. The village's garrison and patrols were torn apart by Nawaki and a group of skilled fighters, ripping the once-organized defensive line into pieces.
Since then, facing the cautious and methodical Konoha Ninja, the Rain Ninja have yet to build a decent defensive line.
In contrast, Konoha's side was playing with ease and had established a rhythm in their attacks.
"Kotomi, to the left front, behind the window."
The three-person team, with the woman in the middle Byakugan, shouted loudly.
On the left, dressed smartly with her long arms and a large expanse of back exposed, Kaguya Hibiki stepped forward immediately upon hearing this. Gripping two slightly reddish bone knives tightly in her hands, she smashed the window. The bone knives plunged into the windowpane, and with a soft "plop," bright red blood bloomed.
Kaguya Hibiki withdrew her bone scalpel, its bright red color becoming even more striking, gradually fading under the wash of the rain.
"Keep going."
The woman with the Byakugan shouted, and the three of them hurried along the long street.
"Xiaoyue, defense, straight ahead."
Another soft shout.
Yuki Yoizuki formed hand seals and released Ninjutsu.
A chilling, five-meter-high ice wall appeared in front of the three of them, blocking half the street.
Almost the instant the ice wall took shape, more than a dozen Kunai with Explosive Tags attached were nailed to it. A violent explosion erupted on the other side of the ice wall, shaking it. Fine cracks spread wildly, and craters formed by the melting flames could be seen through the translucent ice wall.
However, the ice wall eventually collapsed slowly. Yuki Yoizuki's Ice Release technique was quite advanced, and in this place with abundant moisture and low temperature, it was even more powerful.
"You scum of Konoha, you all deserve to die!"
A burly, tall figure burst through the rain curtain of the long street, charging menacingly towards the three.
The newcomer was one of the four strongest warriors from Amegakure. He moved with incredible speed, and the bloodstains on his longsword, which had not been washed away by the rain, were clearly visible, indicating that one of his comrades who had charged ahead of him had been killed.
"He's a tough nut to crack. His Chakra quality and quantity are both very high. He's definitely one of the best Jonin. Kotomi, Yuuki, don't be careless." The Byakugan woman said quickly and began to retreat, leaving the battlefield to Kaguya Hibiki and Yuki Yoizuki.
"Experts? I can't wait any longer. Those weaklings are no fun at all. Dealing with experts... that's much more interesting."
Yuki Yoizuki, standing still without advancing or retreating, rapidly formed hand seals.
Kaguya Hibiki bent down, and as Yuki Yoizuki spoke, she brandished her pair of bone swords and faced the oncoming Rain Ninja head-on.
The bone knife and the longsword collided at high speed, sending sparks flying.
The Rain Ninja's sword was extremely fast; she wielded a long sword like a serpent, incredibly cunning, relentlessly attacking the bone sword's weak points.
The past three breaths.
Kaguya Hibiki's bone sword was knocked away; there was clearly a gap in swordsmanship between the two. Rain Ninja's long sword flashed nimbly as it stabbed towards Kaguya's neck from the left.
Clang!
Its smooth, white back had protruding bones, which deflected the long knife that was thrust at it.
"Ten Finger Bullets "
Kaguya Hibiki spread her empty hands out, her slender fingers aimed at the chest and abdomen of the Rain Ninja, and her ten finger bones shot out like bullets.
Damn it!
The moment the white bone protruded from his back, the Rain Ninja sensed something was wrong. He immediately used the Substitution Technique to escape the battlefield. Looking at the wooden stake with ten holes punched through it, he felt a chill. He had never practiced the Hardening Techniques of Earth Release or Lightning Release. If he had been hit, his more than 100 pounds would have been gone.
"Kekkei Genkai? Damn it..."
The tall Rain Ninja's mind raced as he pondered how to deal with the enemy.
He has spent half his life fighting, and combat has long been an instinct, unrelated to strategy; it's just a tactical instinct!
However, he didn't have enough time to think.
New attacks followed one after another, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
"Ice Release: Ice Pillar"
Thick icicles frantically solidified and formed on the ground, heading towards the tall Rain Ninja's foothold.
Left with no other choice, he activated the Body Flicker Technique, narrowly avoiding the second wave of attacks, and appeared on a large sewer pipe of a building on the right side of the long street.
This is a village with a unique style, characterized by its huge sewer pipes.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere".
Gao Rain Ninja was not one to just take a beating without fighting back. Jonin a skilled Jonin, he had extremely rich combat experience. Facing this team composed of pure -Kekkei Genkai, he made the most appropriate judgment in an instant.
First, take down the woman with the Byakugan.
His Substitution Technique was seen through, undoubtedly due to the power of the Byakugan. As long as the Byakugan is present, his movements cannot be concealed.
Konoha and Rain Ninja fought a long war during Second Shinobi War, and they gained a deep understanding of each other. For example, there is a saying among Rain Ninja: "When fighting Konoha Ninjas, first blind them."
The "eyes" here refer to the Uchiha and Hyuga clans; their pupil techniques are truly disgusting!
The Wind Bullets hurtled towards the woman with the Byakugan at the back of the group.
"Ice Release: Great Ice Block"
Yuki Yoizuki's reaction was faster than the Rain Ninja had imagined. A large, square Great Ice Block appeared to the right of the Byakugan woman, intercepting all the Wind Bullets.
"Get out of here!"
Kaguya Hibiki pounced again like an enraged tigress, her back and arms covered in bare white bones, making her a living humanoid combat weapon, and she tightly entangled the skilled Rain Ninja.
The two walked and stood along the upright sewer pipe, continuing upwards.
Troublesome!
Beneath the mask, Rain Ninja's brow was furrowed in a knot, her face showing deep concern.
The team in front of him was much more troublesome than he had expected. Not only were all three of them Kekkei Genkai, but their teamwork was also quite seamless. For a time, he was at a loss and could only endure it.
He was waiting for the moment when these three young women lost their patience; that would be his chance.
"Ice Release: Cold Spring"
Yuki Yoizuki followed closely behind, running along the smooth, straight sewer pipe, her movements mirrored by the falling rain from the sky, forming hand seals as she went.
Ice gushed from the surface of the pipe like spring water, almost capturing the Rain Ninja, but she escaped, leaving only half a sleeve behind.
