Purple Aurora? Everyone, Run!

"Only four people? You guys are such cowards! You've all wasted your lives. So what if you're Konoha Ninja?" one of the people next to him sneered mercilessly.

With so many experts from the underworld here, such a grand occasion is rare in the Shinobi World. However, he would never agree to be the first to rush in, so he was just making empty threats and stirring things up. They are all selfish and cunning people; only a fool would believe them.

Those around remained expressionless upon hearing the mocking remarks. This group of Konoha Ninja must be elite, and their operation was extremely unusual. If they were killed in a surprise attack, so be it, since no one else witnessed it.

With so many people present, the news can't be kept secret anytime soon. It's already difficult enough for everyone to survive underground by hiding, and if they anger Konoha and face a vicious reprisal, things will get even worse.

The scene immediately became awkward. The Masked Man couldn't help but speak first, "Gentlemen, if this drags on, the situation might get even more chaotic. At that point, several major ninja villages might send people over, and even the Konoha team might request reinforcements. In that case, we'll get nothing."

"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings who're more trouble than they're worth. I'll start!" Sasori sneered contemptuously. "Everyone, send a few men to probe the enemy's defenses. What happens after that is up to each of us. If we wipe out the Konoha Ninja this way, no one will escape responsibility."

With his Puppet Technique and Fuinjutsu, taking down Chunin would be a piece of cake, and he wouldn't care if they died.

The experts around realized that this seemed to be the only way. Although many of them were heartbroken about losing the power they had accumulated, they were now in a bind. If they didn't agree, they might be surrounded and killed.

"I agree. We'd better act quickly; let's set it for tonight!"

At night, on the walls of Land of Glass Village, several ninjas hid in dark corners, keeping watch outside. Recently, the situation in Land of Glass seemed to be somewhat unfavorable, and they felt as if countless vicious wolves were watching from outside the city.

After capturing and killing several traders who entered the city a few days ago, many ninjas were already wavering.

The Koizumi Family has secretly amassed a large fortune, while those who serve the country have always lived in hardship. It is only because of the current critical situation that it is difficult for them to escape; otherwise, there would have been cases of embezzlement, murder, and robbery long ago.

Maintaining focus for a long time is a difficult thing. Just as the guards relaxed their attention, several figures jumped up from below the city and decisively attacked, stabbing and slashing, quickly taking down all the guards.

"Enemy attack!"

The breakthrough went smoothly, but the commotion was hard to conceal. The Koizumi Family, who were on high alert, were in a state of panic. A large number of ninjas rushed out of the houses next to the city wall, and the two sides collided without even having a chance to greet each other.

"Sizzle..."

"Ugh..."

Screams and sounds of fighting rang out continuously. The two groups of people, whose numbers were roughly equal, were evenly matched for a time. However, it was not long before the battle began to turn in favor of the invaders. Having lived in the shadows for a long time, they were more ruthless and could easily deal with the ninjas trained by smaller forces.

"Brush!"

Just as the Land of Glass Village side was about to be defeated, a short figure charged into the crowd. His movements were far more agile than anyone else on either side. In a short time, he swiftly and decisively killed several invaders, almost instantly turning the tide of the battle. All the dead could remember were those blood-red eyes.

Shisui easily dodged the enemy's slashes, and with a swift slash of his Wakizashi, he drew a bloody gash. As his opponent clutched his throat and fell, chakra erupted from his feet, allowing him to leap after the last fleeing enemy and strike him down, successfully annihilating all the attackers.

"My lord, we..." The Ruri Ninjas looked at Shisui with awe; the gap between the great ninja village and them was truly immeasurable.

"Don't rush to clean up the corpses, continue to stand guard on the city wall!" Shisui ordered in a deep voice. Then he looked at the other side of the city wall and could sense multiple streams of chakra just by using his senses. It seemed that this was just a feint to attract attention.

While he was clearing out the intruders, his comrades on the other side weren't idle either...

With her hands moving swiftly, she calmly unleashed Yin Release Chakra Hand Seals, "Genjutsu: Utakata!"

The group of people who were fighting suddenly stopped, and the Ruri Ninja, who had been being suppressed, was finally able to catch her breath.

Seeing their poor manners, Anko was furious, but she was prepared. When Hong released her Genjutsu, she threw Kunai, which hit the enemy's vital points with great accuracy, immediately turning the tide of the battle.

Outside the city, even experts who weren't proficient in Sensory Ninjutsu could tell their situation was unfavorable. In just a few breaths, a large number of their men had been killed. How could only four Konoha Ninja have managed to conduct such a large-scale reconnaissance?

"Gentlemen, I will go and gather intelligence first. I hope you can all work together to provide timely support."

A masked missing-nin Teuchi strike first. He had no choice but to send out several important subordinates, and it would be too painful if they all perished here.

However, he wasn't greedy. He planned to only take a look, and if he encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat, he would find a chance to sneak away...

Possessing Special Jonin skills, he immediately sprang into action. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the foot of the low city wall and then quickly leaped to land on top of it.

"Sizzle!"

To his surprise, a strange Senbon appeared out of nowhere and landed steadily on the city wall, directly in the direction he had jumped up.

Without any warning, a size 43 ninja shoe suddenly appeared in front of him, perfectly meeting his large face in mid-air, "Flying Thunder God Kick!"

With a loud bang, the man was sent flying back at twice the speed before he even reached the top of the city wall. Sharp-eyed experts even saw that his head had been violently twisted behind his back, and he probably didn't feel anything when he died.

"Bump!"

The corpse quickly fell to the ground and rolled several times, while all the experts outside the city kept their eyes fixed on the city wall.

Under the moonlight, the red and white baseball cap with the metal plate of the Konoha Forehead Protector printed on the front was a style that even Kakuzu, who had dominated the Shinobi World for many years, had never seen before.

"Good heavens, Kakuzu and Sasori came at the same time, one greedy for materials and the other greedy for money?" Shuichi glanced at them and was immediately surprised.

There were nearly 10 people below, and in his perception, even the weakest of them Chunin than Chunin. He could also immediately recognize Hiruko and the green -Kakuzu who were lying on the ground.

"It's dark and windy outside, are you all playing cards and chatting?" Shuichi pulled off his hat, a slight smile playing on his lips. "How about I join you, or we can talk in town?"

"It's Takeda Shuichi!" The Masked Man panicked instantly. As Sunagakure, he had witnessed Shukaku's instant defeat during the Third Shinobi War, and had himself fled the village during the rout. "Run! Don't fight him!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Three figures flashed out in a certain direction at the same time. Sasori, codenamed "Tiger," and Kakuzu had a record of killing Elite Jonin in the black market, so he secretly called two acquaintances to protect himself.

However, everyone had their own agenda, and in the process of scattering and escaping, some people were bound to get lucky; whether they lived or died was entirely up to fate...
