Looking for Death!

With a whoosh, a figure shot out of the smoke and dust. But the moment he broke free of it, he melted into his surroundings and vanished without a trace.

"Huh?"

Shinji let out a soft exclamation.

His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan's dojutsu power had now reached its peak, and he could challenge the Rinnegan at any time. Yet under these circumstances, he found that he still couldn't clearly track his opponent's figure. A trace of curiosity rose in his heart.

"He's here!"

Chiyo reminded everyone.

Ryūsetsuna asked, "Where?"

Naruto looked around. "Yeah, yeah! I don't see anyone at all!"

Sasuke's expression was gloomy. He had discovered that even his Sharingan had failed him; he couldn't track the enemy's figure at all.

After breaking out of the smoke and dust, Ranmaru observed Shinji while searching for an opportunity to strike.

When he noticed Ryūsetsuna and Chiyo faintly guarding Shinji's flanks, he thought, Looks like I have to deal with those two Grass ninja first!

With that, he activated Swift Release and Steel Release again, lunging straight at Chiyo, who was standing farther to the outside.

In an instant, Killing Intent Perception stimulated Shinji's nerves, making him realize that the mysterious enemy had struck again.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a sharp whistle as he cut through the air, Ranmaru closed in on Chiyo.

You're the first!

After thinking that, Ranmaru thrust his Steel Release-reinforced arm fiercely toward Chiyo's heart!

Just as he thought he was about to succeed, Chiyo's Ketsuryūgan sensed the violent blood reaction in front of her. Thus, although her vision was completely blank, she reacted at once. She retreated through the air while swinging the Blood Blade in her hand, slashing forward with all her strength!

This was the instinctive prediction she had gained through painstakingly cultivating Taijutsu!

Clang!
