Purple Aurora's Strength

Even as Shuichi arrived as reinforcements, the battle on the field did not cease; the Mist Ninja continued their siege of Konoha.

"Drink!" A Mist Ninja swung his sword at Hyuga youth in white robes not far away, but the youth was agile and dodged the sword by slightly turning his body. At the same time, he put two fingers together and touched the youth's forearm, directly blocking the chakra in his meridians.

At the same time, a counterattack followed immediately. With the other hand, the movements were extremely fluid, and before the Mist Ninja could react, he was struck in the upper body and sent staggering back several meters.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by their teammates, the other two Kirigakure launched an attack, unleashing "Water Release: Water Cleansing Waves!"

Two jets of water shot out from their mouths, just as the Byakugan youth finished unleashing his Gentle Fist.

Despite the unfavorable situation, he remained calm. Chakra erupted from every acupoint throughout his body, and he began to spin rapidly, shouting, "Heavenly Spin!"

The seemingly thin, semi-circular protective barrier not only blocked the Water Release Ninjutsu but also carried a large number of subsequent ninja tools to its side.

After deflecting all the attacks, the Byakugan youth immediately stopped spinning. This move was powerful, but it consumed a lot of chakra, and upon closer inspection, one could see that he had begun to pant slightly.

"Cheng, can you still hold on?" asked the middle-aged man who was in the center of the crowd's protection.

Hyuga Makoto's expression was resolute. "Rest assured, Lord Sōta, I will protect you until I fall."

Another Hyuga youth suddenly beamed with joy, "Although we only have one reinforcement, his strength is extremely formidable. He's advancing rapidly towards us, and he's already killed several Kirigakure squads in such a short time. It seems we just need to hold on a little longer."

The other Konoha Ninja were also energized. Although they didn't know who the newcomer was, he was undoubtedly one of the village's top experts.

After the signal was sounded, the Kirigakure attackers surrounding them quickened their pace, seemingly worried about something going wrong. Now it appears the situation has indeed reversed.

Seeing that the Konoha Ninja held their ground as solid as a rock, the surrounding enemy troops were at a loss, and many focused their attention on their leader.

One of the Jonin the Kirigakure Village this time was Shuichi person Shuichi was familiar with. Just as he was about to give an order, someone ran quickly toward them.

"Lord Ao, we have learned that the person from Konoha is Takeda Shuichi, the Purple Aurora. Currently, the chakra reactions of four of our squads have disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Qing's expression became conflicted. This operation had been in preparation for a long time, and it seemed that success was just around the corner, but now it faced the risk of failure.

The name "Purple Aurora" has been circulating in the Shinobi World for the past few months, with some even making exaggerated claims such as instantly killing Tailed Beast. Most of the Kirigakure ninja do not believe it, thinking that Konoha is just boasting about its own genius.

The Land of Water is at a great disadvantage in this respect. Because it is isolated overseas, it cannot keep abreast of the battlefields in the Shinobi World like other land-based countries. This results in insufficient intelligence when fighting against Konoha and makes it impossible to distinguish the truth from falsehood of these rumors.

But Qing knew far more than ordinary Mist Ninja. Some time ago, elites from various clans formed a top-tier raiding team, but they failed halfway through and didn't even set foot on the land of Land of Whirlpools. In the end, only Terumi Sora lost an arm, returned.

This result shocked the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure. According to Terumi Sora's report, Takeda Shuichi's strength was already ridiculously high. The entire Land of Water had not seen such an outrageously strong genius in many years. In any case, they could hardly imagine it.

Because this news could easily damage morale, the higher-ups kept it a secret.

In the months that followed, he became famous in the Land of Rivers. Even if the rumors were false, he must have played a decisive role in killing the Tailed Beast, since there were so many people on the battlefield that the news could not be kept secret.

Based solely on this existing intelligence, the village has already concluded that Takeda Shuichi's strength is essentially equivalent to that of the village's Kage. Although they currently have a large number of people, they simply do not have any experts who can match him.

"Damn it, I finally got this chance to capture and kill Byakugan." Qing gritted his teeth unwillingly, deciding to try one last time. "Mobilize five elite squads to intercept them. I'll keep a close eye on the situation."

"Yes!"

He himself is a top-notch Sensory Ninja, and can detect any problems immediately if the situation turns out badly.

At this moment, Shuichi went, and no one could withstand his attacks. It was as if a huge hole had been dug out of the encirclement of Kirigakure.

At this moment, the Kirigakure finally reacted, and a large force of about 20 people was rushing towards them. The two sides immediately noticed each other.

Shuichi continued walking forward, then frowned. In just a few steps, he discovered two white lumps hidden under his buttocks.

"It really was White Zetsu's doing. Otherwise, how could Kirigakure have surrounded a Konoha team with Byakugan? The others probably really thought there was a traitor, not knowing that the other side had already replaced him."

This creature is annoying; it's best to ignore it for now. There's still a long game to play, so there's no need to reveal too many tactics.

"Let's hold off on using the Twin Pistols for now. Using conventional methods will consume more chakra, but it won't be a big problem."

Shuichi picked up a long sword from the ground. The footsteps from the other side were already clearly audible, indicating that there were quite a few people.

As soon as a figure appeared, a large number of ninja tools rushed towards him, some of which had Explosive Tag attached to them.

Shuichi hand, the silver light that flashed as he swung it enveloping his entire body like splashed water. At the same time, he moved left and right, dodging and weaving, with only the clanging sounds echoing through the mist.

Before the Mist Ninja even heard the explosion, they saw their thrown Kunai fly back unharmed, the Explosive Tag at the ends already sizzling and burning. "Oh no, get out of the way!"

"Boom!"

As the explosion rang out, a figure rushed out of the smoke. Several injured Mist Ninja felt a bright light flash across their faces, and the scene before their eyes instantly shattered.

But the other Kirigakure were no pushovers either. The clanging of chains around Shuichi's ears sounded like silken threads wrapping around him, clearly targeting his troublesome speed.

However, just as one of the Kirigakure was about to pull the chains to lock them, a thick Senbon flew close by and pierced directly into his shoulder blade. "Ugh..."

He endured the pain to complete the blockade, but something felt off in his hand. "It's empty? Where did everyone go?"

Then, his vision blurred and he was thrown backward, the pain vanishing without a trace. "What happened? Am I dead...?"

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport behind the enemy and decapitate them with a single strike, Shuichi's right side flashed with white light again, "Lightning Release: Lightning Shockwave!"

A giant Lightning Ball, as tall as a person, covered his entire body. Clearly, the Mist Jonin were quite powerful; their attack, once unsuccessful, was immediately followed by another, with no intention of giving him a chance to breathe.

Instead of retreating, Shuichi advanced, throwing his longsword like a javelin at an enemy. He completed three hand seals in an instant, and his Lightning Cutter shattered the Lightning Ball before rushing towards the caster at an astonishing speed.

"So fast! I didn't have time to Hand Seals!"

The Mist Jonin's face contorted with rage as he gripped his hands tightly, drawing his weapon and instinctively thrusting forward. Since the opponent was charging straight at him like this, they might as well die together.

Unfortunately, reality was far from what he expected. Shuichi chop, and even had time to aim at the man's throat before striking again. With a light flick, he finished off the Jonin.

Almost at the same time, the other three rushed over, but as soon as they got close, they were struck by the lightning that erupted, and were instantly killed in the instant their bodies were paralyzed.

Fire Release: Garuda!

Lightning Release: Thunderstorm!

"..."

The remaining Mist Ninja unleashed their full power; the enemy before them was far too formidable. At such speed, if they were given any room to maneuver, everyone present would be crushed one by one. Therefore, they didn't even care about the corpses of their teammates, and used all their Ninjutsu to seal off all of Shuichi's escape routes.
