Naruto Captured

"Hinata!!"

Everyone was incredibly anxious, but the hammer was too fast! Even Sakura, who was closest, couldn't intervene! They could only watch helplessly!

Hinata's mind went blank. A blurry figure appeared, indistinct.

But with just one glance, Hinata recognized him.

"Yamei-kun..."

Before the whisper in her heart even faded, shouts echoed all around.

"He… he's gone!!"

"What happened?"

Everyone's eyes widened. They had watched as the hammer was about to smash into Hinata's head, and then, the massive hammer had simply vanished!

If it weren't for the small crater on the ground! And Hinata's tightly shut eyes, they would have suspected everything that just happened was an illusion!

"Hinata, don't give up so easily!" Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded beside her ear.

Everyone felt a flash of cold light before their eyes, and the monstrous soldiers they had struggled against all froze!

Then, to everyone's horrified gaze, the soldiers were sliced in half from their chests!

"Yamei!!"

Ino turned and saw Yamei standing beside Hinata, patting her head. She cried out in surprise and rushed forward.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ino, calm down first!" Yamei's expression changed, and he quickly reached out to stop her!

Ino's movement halted. She looked at her bulky, metallic body with disgust, quickly dispelled the Mind Transfer Jutsu, and then sprinted into Yamei's arms.

"Waaah! Yamei! We were bullied! Hinata almost got hurt just now! You have to get revenge for us!!"

Crying into Yamei's chest, Ino immediately started shedding tears and pouring out her grievances.

Yamei quickly patted Ino's back, then reached out to pull Hinata closer, his voice gentle yet cold:

"Don't worry, these despicable guys dared to bully you, I'll make them pay!"

Watching the three of them in a tender moment, Shikamaru and the others, who had also been feeling agitated, pouted...

"What's with that... we worked hard too," Kiba couldn't help but grumble.

Akamaru: "Woof woof!"

"And then what? Are you going to ask Yamei to hug you too!?" Sasuke walked out and glared at Kiba.

"Sasuke!" Shikamaru and the others greeted him.

Yamei brought Ino and Hinata to the front of the group. His eyes glanced at the sea fortress, then at Kurenai and Kakashi who were being surrounded.

"You guys go chase Naruto, I'll go help Kurenai and Kakashi."

"Okay!"

Yamei's arrival seemed to give them a backbone. Without hesitation, they began to carry out his orders.

"Take care of yourselves." After comforting Hinata and Ino, Yamei's figure flashed, and he rushed towards Kurenai and the others' battlefield.

Yamei's actions were naturally noticed by Kakashi and the others.

Upon seeing Yamei effortlessly eliminate more than a dozen soldiers, both Kakashi and the female knight Rank, and Camilla were shocked.

"Camilla! I'll hold them off with the soldiers, you quickly take Timsi and that little boy and leave!" Rank gritted his teeth, the lightning aura erupting from his body intensifying.

Camilla knew this wasn't the time for arguing. A dense pink smoke suddenly erupted from behind her! Then, flapping her wings, she flew towards the sea fortress!

"Yamei!! Go save Naruto!!" Kakashi shouted urgently upon seeing this.

Yamei paused, glanced at Camilla flying towards Naruto, and then swiftly pursued her.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Rank's figure flashed as he was about to rush over to stop Yamei, but how could Kurenai and Kakashi let him?

"Wind Style, Great Breakthrough!"

"Genjutsu, Paralysis Jutsu!"

The two simultaneously formed hand seals. The binding power of the genjutsu made Rank's body freeze! Immediately after, a powerful wind-style jutsu cut through the air!

However, the moment the ninjutsu made contact with Rank, a blue halo appeared around his ape-like body!

"Hahaha, your so-called ninjutsu or genjutsu are useless against my Charge Barrier!"

Rank sneered disdainfully, his figure like lightning as he was about to charge towards Yamei.

"Oh? Are you sure!?"

Rank's body suddenly stopped. The surrounding environment constantly changed! It was as if he had fallen into absolute desolation.

"Mist Veil Moon..."

A light and ethereal voice echoed in this world, dreamlike and illusory... yet carrying a dense killing intent.

Falling leaves... petals... even the gentle breeze that blew... in this place, they would leave countless wounds on one's body!

"What... what is this!"

Rank felt a surge of terror. The way these people used energy astonished him, and their endless tricks shocked her! It even filled her with fear now!

"Subdued!?" Kakashi's eyes widened as he looked at the motionless Rank, then glanced at Kurenai with a hint of disbelief.

Rank's strength was definitely Jonin level! And because of that bizarre Charge Barrier, regular Ninjutsu and Genjutsu had little effect!

Beneath his flesh, Rank's monstrous body wasn't just powerful; its physical defense was incredibly strong! That's why they had suffered such a heavy loss!

But now! He was subdued by Kurenai's Genjutsu!?

"Phew, Kakashi, I'll need you to put in more effort dealing with these tin cans from now on." Kurenai's face showed a trace of paleness.

It wasn't that she wasn't using Mist Veil Moon, but her Chakra consumption was indeed quite high!

She wondered how that kid Yamei had created such a terrifying Genjutsu, and could even use it so freely! Did he have that much Chakra?

Kurenai couldn't help but muse.

"Leave the rest to me!"

Seeing Kurenai's massive consumption, Kakashi worked even harder to clear out the soldiers who kept closing in.

"Everyone, be careful!!"

Hinata's voice stopped everyone who was rushing towards the fortress. As they looked up, they saw a Bat Person flying towards them amidst a dense pink mist!

"It's that Bat Person!!" Choji shouted.

"Who cares what kind of Bat Person it is! Lightning Style, Chasing Fang!"

Sasuke cursed angrily, and violent lightning formed a canine head! It then shot towards the sky.

"You think you can hit me with that?"

Camilla sneered. With a few slippery aerial maneuvers, she dodged the attack, and the pink smoke behind her descended immediately!

Under the shroud of the pink smoke, the eyes of Choji, Kiba, Sakura, and the others gradually became vacant. Shikamaru was greatly alarmed.

"This is bad! This smoke causes hallucinations! Quickly cover your mouths and noses!"

Sasuke, Shino, and a few others quickly covered their mouths and noses.

"Idiots! You guys have fun slowly!"

Camilla sneered as she looked at the chaotic crowd in the mist. She instantly appeared beside Timsi and Naruto and grabbed them both.

"Mmph!" Naruto's mouth was covered, but his body continued to twist and struggle.

"Naruto!!"

Sasuke's face turned grim. A massive Great Fireball broke through the smoke and shot towards Camilla, but it was useless against Camilla's agile movements.

"Wind Style! Great Breakthrough!"

Just then, a terrifying gale swept over! The dense pink mist couldn't hold on for even a moment before it was shattered and blown away!

Camilla looked in horror at where the gale originated. Yamei's cold eyes stared at her as if she were a corpse.

At that moment, her hair stood on end... her body felt stiff.
