Kill Sister to Prove the Way

After being stopped by Minato, the Sunagakure Jonin, Shuichi chased after the enemy with all his might.

The weakest of the Chunin was Sensory Ninja, and since the Shadow Clone were faster than the main body, they quickly caught up with the fleeing female ninja.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Whoosh..." Before she could escape far, Shuichi she entered the attack range, Shuriken and Kunai flying towards her back.

Ryo sensed the sudden increase in the number of pursuers behind her and guessed that a Konoha Ninja had used Shadow Clone. If she wanted to escape, she could only gamble that the one chasing her was Shadow Clone. Therefore, she did not turn around at all, but curled up in the air to protect her vitals.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle." Several ninja tools were pierced directly into her back, but she endured the pain without uttering a sound and continued to flee forward with all her might. The clothes she could not see were already stained red with blood.

"You're quite tenacious, but letting you go is out of the question." Shuichi burst of chakra, quickly closing in from the side and pulling out a Kunai stab at her waist.

Liang caught a glimpse of a dark figure approaching from the side and, as if by reflex, drew his Kunai and slashed. "Clang!"

Having narrowly thwarted the enemy's attack, she hadn't even had time to feel happy before the opponent's wrist began to twist rapidly.

"Rip!" Ah!

Seizing the moment of stalemate, Shuichi slashed back with his Kunai, cutting a huge gash in Ryou's forearm. The intense pain caused her to temporarily lose control of her body.

He raised his foot and kicked her directly in the upper body. "Bang!" The two figures stopped abruptly in their forward momentum. The Sunagakure female ninja was kicked away in mid-air, and the huge force made her fall rapidly.

"Whoosh!" Shuichi twice and arrived in front of her. Liang was bleeding profusely from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that the kick had seriously injured her.

"Farewell. I hope you can be reborn in a peaceful era in your next life." A Kunai mercy, and the next second, the female ninja's body stopped trembling.

"BOOM!" The Shadow Clone dissipated on its own quickly after completing its mission.

"Hmm? Pretty fast." On the other side, the main body, who was chasing the enemy's strongest Chunin, immediately received feedback from the Shadow Clone. "Sigh, what a pity. She was a pretty tough female ninja, but on the battlefield, it's either you die or I die."

Shuichi quickly realized that this was the first time in his life he had killed a girl; it just goes to show that female ninjas active on the front lines of battle are still a minority.

"No wonder so many people's values follow their physical appearance. It seems that as long as you're human, you can't help but yearn for beautiful things." Shuichi felt that this murder was a little different from the past, just like how clearing weeds and trampling flowers always evoke different feelings.

With these thoughts in mind, he didn't stop moving at all, constantly approaching the Sunagakure in front of him.

"This person is quite strong, seemingly the strongest of the three. However, it's unfortunate that I've come to settle scores with you personally. If it were Shadow Clone, there might be a risk of failure."

"Ox-Rabbit-Monkey, Chidori." A blinding flash of lightning lit up Shuichi's hand, and he charged toward the enemy like an arrow released from a bow.

"What's that sound? What is that?" The Sunagakure, fleeing at breakneck speed, heard the irritating sound approaching from behind and thought in alarm.

It was too close. Just as he was about to react, he felt a strong surge of chakra coming from behind him.

"Pfft!"

"How is this possible!" Looking down, he saw that his chest had been pierced by a hand. The Chunin's eyes widened, and then he completely lost consciousness.

After quickly defeating the enemy, Shuichi discovered another flaw in this technique. "It's just too addictive! Kakashi, you're such a show-off, you're ruining my life!"

At roughly the same time, another Shadow Clone finished off the remaining enemies. With no time to clean up the corpses, he immediately rushed back towards the team's location.

Rewinding to a point earlier, just as the Sunagakure Jonin captain was about to stop Shuichi, he was blocked by Namikaze Minato. After seeing the opponent parry his slash with Kunai, he immediately pressed down with great force.

"Whoosh!" The Konoha Ninja in front of him disappeared from his spot again, and the momentum of the force made him lose control. In an instant, the blond youth appeared strangely from his side, Kunai in his hand was almost stabbing him.

The Sunagakure used all his chakra to leap backward, barely avoiding a fatal blow at the last second. However, he did not completely evade the attack, and the side blade of the Trident Kunai ripped a large chunk of flesh from his body.

"Ugh..." He clutched his wound and retreated quickly. "This Konoha Ninja moves using Kunai marks; I must get out of this area as fast as I can."

His eyes were fixed on Namikaze Minato, only to see him disappear from the spot once again. "Where?" He kept scanning the surrounding environment, but found that there was no one in several places Kunai were placed.

"Oh no, it's from behind!"

The Sunagakure Jonin quickly turned around; years of combat experience made him instinctively shift his body to the side. "Sizzle!"

Minato's Trident Kunai pierced the enemy's lower abdomen. "I threw the Kunai behind you during my second movement. Goodbye."

As he gripped the Kunai tightly, preparing to twist it, the Sunagakure Jonin's expression turned ferocious. With all his might, he swung his sword fiercely at Namikaze Minato, intending to perish together with his enemy.

After realizing what was happening, Minato didn't rush to attack. He immediately released his Kunai the Body Flicker Technique, and retreated, avoiding the enemy's dying blow.

After the opponent swung their sword at the air, Flying Thunder God was activated again, instantly appearing in front of the Kunai, quickly drawing it out and successfully stabbing it into the enemy's chest.

"Whoosh whoosh..." As the Sunagakure Jonin fell, the rest of the Konoha Squad quickly arrived at the scene.

"Do you need to help Shuichi-kun?"

Hyuga Akiha's Byakugan had been monitoring the battle, and upon seeing that the other three enemy Chunin had been killed, he immediately replied, "No need, he's already taken care of it and is on his way back."

"As expected of him," Namikaze Minato exclaimed in admiration.

Not long after, Shuichi returned to the group, and everyone immediately began discussing their next move.

"Our location has been exposed, but our fighting strength remains, so I plan to proactively engage the Sunagakure Squad behind us, and then decide what to do next based on the situation." Namikaze Minato considered for a moment before stating his thoughts.

Seeing that no one objected, the group prepared to use Inuzuka Tsume's sense of smell to track down the Sunagakure.

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Shuichi suddenly spoke up, causing the team, which was about to move out, to stop again.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with some confusion, he quickly explained, "I think we've overlooked a crucial point, which is the enemy's Sensory Ninja."

"Huh?" Everyone was quite puzzled. Their team's reconnaissance ninjas were practically flawless, so they didn't understand why Shuichi would bring up the issue of the enemy's sensory abilities.

"Could you explain in more detail, Shuichi-kun?" Namikaze Minato knew that Shuichi a very cautious person. Although he was young, he had very high ninja standards and would not do anything meaningless that would waste everyone's time.
