The Battle Against an S-Rank Missing-Nin

"What!?"

"I was about to respond Shiyu wasn't paying attention to my direction at all."

A rustling sound came from all around.

It was obvious that someone was moving quickly across the ground around them.

"Watch out! Enemies!" Shiyu had also clearly spotted four black shadows and immediately warned them.

"Fire Release: Searing Migraine!" Suddenly, a wave of flames, like a tsunami, rushed towards the four of them.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Mei quickly unleashed a B-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, but it was clear that Mei's chakra was not as strong as his enemy's.

The range of the Searing Migraine technique was larger, instantly breaking through the water dragon bullet and rushing towards them from the edge again.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Ming didn't give up, and used a B-rank defensive Water Release again, which this time completely blocked the enemy's fire release attack.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear!" A figure extended its black arm, piercing through the Water Formation Wall, and connected with black tentacles, attacked towards the Netherworld.

"Damn it!" It was too late for Ming to block the attack.

"Whoosh! Thud!" Shiyu Body Flicker Technique drew his Dragon Fang Blade and slashed down, Shiyu the hardened arm connected by the black tentacles.

Shiyu then kicked the arm away.

"What!?" The other side was clearly shocked as well.

Shiyu then said to Ming, "That's enough, Ming. He's not someone you can handle right now. Could you help me take these two beauties and get away first? I'll be back."

"Sorry! The mission is over! We're not in the same squad anymore! I have no reason to listen to you."

"Since they are such powerful opponents, we should fight them together," Ming said somewhat stubbornly.

"The mission isn't over yet, we're still a small team! They haven't gone home yet. You're in charge of taking them back, and I'll cover their retreat," Shiyu said in an unquestionable tone.

"Shiyu, be careful." Suisen knew that no one could persuade Shiyu, and that she was just a burden.

Shiyu shook her head and said, "Let's go! I'll catch up with you, I promise!"

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Don't want!"

Shiyu saw the three off and then rushed back immediately.

Then, the enemy stopped hiding himself.

"Wow, that's impressive! You've mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, so skillfully. Is that how you stole my order?" The person in front of him had green eyes, wore a black cloak, a Takigakure rogue Forehead Protector, and a very distinctive hat.

"It really is you, Kakuzu! With me here, you won't get past!" Shiyu said calmly.

"Oh? You, a mere brat, actually know my name? That's quite something. You released all the people I kidnapped, which infuriates me. But whatever, as long as I kill you, they won't survive."

"You actually consider a burden a squad? How naive! In this ninja world, betrayal is the only thing that will never betray you; money is the only truth in this world!"

Kakuzu clasped his hands together, and then his black veins began to bulge out like snakes.

"Considering you're Uchiha Shigure, ranked sixteenth in bounty, I'll fight you a little more seriously! After all, your bounty isn't low. As for your so-called allies..."

Kakuzu squinted, and suddenly a dark shadow appeared behind him, chasing after Suisen and Mei in the same direction at an extremely fast speed.

With Shiyu vanished in a Body Flicker Technique, and when she reappeared, the Dragon Fang Blade in her hand slammed the dark figure heavily to the ground.

"Bang!" The black-clad, masked figure also screamed in pain.

"Oh?" Kakuzu was also somewhat surprised. "I see. The sword on your back isn't just for show. So, you can't catch up with them without defeating you?"

The black figure instantly returned to Kakuzu's back.

Shiyu said calmly, "Didn't I already say that? With me here, you're not getting past!"

"Impressive momentum! I wonder how strong they are!" Kakuzu wasn't going to waste any more time.

"Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear!" Kakuzu immediately activated Earth Grudge Fear mode, and his cloak was torn open by his own blood vessels, exposing his entire upper body.

Immediately afterward, a large number of pitch-black tentacles that could be controlled by chakra appeared behind Kakuzu.

"Whoosh!" Shiyu directly extracted chakra, and his eyes turned into light blue Sharingan. Without saying a Shiyu, Shigure activated the genjutsu through his Sharingan.

"This is... the Sharingan!?"

Kakuzu was instantly paralyzed, and Shiyu quickly used Body Flicker Technique to get close to Kakuzu.

"It's an illusion!? Release!" Kakuzu his extensive combat experience, immediately dispelled the illusion the moment he realized he was under its spell. However, Shiyu was even faster!

The Dragon Fang Blade was drawn and swiftly pierced Kakuzu's heart.

"Ah!" Kakuzu shocked. He never expected that the brat in front of him would kill him in a single move.

"Kage Level," Kakuzu said calmly.

"What?" Shiyu didn't understand.

"You brat, you're actually a Kage Level expert? No wonder someone has a bounty on your head."

"Ah!" Kakuzu spewed out countless black tentacles from his mouth, attacking Shiyu. Shiyu slashed them away with his sword, then quickly Hand Seals and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fire Arrow!"

"Water Release: Water Curtain!" Kakuzu immediately used Water Release defensive ninjutsu, but Shiyu's Great Fire Arrow quickly broke through Kakuzu's defense.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!" Kakuzu Hand Seals again, but was once again broken through by Shiyu's Fire Release.

"Such a powerful Fire Release! Is it the power of the Uchiha?" Although Kakuzu did not stop the Great Fire Arrow, he gave himself time to dodge.

As he dodged, Kakuzu's wound was quickly stitched up by the tentacles generated by the Earth Grudge Fear. Although Shiyu had destroyed one of his hearts in a single exchange, he was now clearly taking things seriously and would not easily let Shiyu get close from now on.

"This kid is fast! Swordsmanship and speed mean that ninjutsu is his weakness? Let's give him a try!" Kakuzu then made his decision.

"Boy! Try my ninjutsu!" Immediately afterward, two masked demons burst out from Kakuzu's back.

Fire Release: Searing Migraine!

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Combined Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Chaos!" The demon on Kakuzu's back also unleashed two different ninjutsu attacks. The combined wind and fire attributes created a powerful Compound Ninjutsu! Shiyu knew this all too well.

"Is this how you're going to bombard me from the very beginning?"

However, Shiyu showed no sign of nervousness; he simply took out his Flying Thunder God Kunai.

"Kid! Are you going to take my attack head-on?! Naive!"

I'll say the same thing to you.
