Senior, save me!

The water jet that Junta sprayed was instantly shattered by Kanami's Water Severing Wave, heading straight for his chest.

Shimura Shunta's expression changed instantly, and he quickly turned to the side.

Pfft!

It still managed to cut his shoulder, and the wound reopened instantly, soaking his sleeve with bright red blood.

"Damn it! How can a mere brat use Water Severing Wave!"

With a fierce expression, Shimura Shunta hurriedly Hand Seals again, using the water stream he had just sprayed to unleash the most powerful Ninjutsu he had mastered.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The water scattered on the platform instantly gathered together, forming a huge water dragon.

The blue water dragon opened its mouth as if roaring, and swallowed Kanami whole.

"Prepare to die!"

Shimura Shunta made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.

Omoi, standing to the side, was somewhat stunned.

Our Cloud Village ninja were killed, but why are you making it sound like your Konoha Village Ninja were killed?

Compared to Shimura Shunta, he felt that he wasn't as hot-tempered now, as if he were making himself seem rather heartless.

However, before the dragon could swallow it...

A figure in white robes suddenly appeared before Kanami.

"Earth Release · Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

The figure in white robes crouched down and slammed his hands down onto the ground.

The Viewing Stand floor suddenly trembled.

A tall, thick earthen wall quickly rose up, blocking Shimura Shunta's Water Dragon Bullet technique.

When the water dragon crashed into the Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, it disintegrated.

Shimura Shunta's smug expression froze instantly.

Then, the white-robed, Masked Man emerged from behind the Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall.

The moment Shimura Shunta saw the mask on this person's face, his pupils contracted.

Anbu!

Even though he was the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, he had no say in the Anbu.

The Anbu is a secret Special Assassination and Tactical Squad directly under the Lord Hokage.

The Konoha Military Police Force? It's just a small department that manages public order.

The figure in white robes was the only man Kanami recognized.

What happened?

Without turning around, Xiang looked at the Cloud Village ninja in front of him and asked calmly.

However, the slight pressure emanating from him made Omoi's expression somewhat unnatural.

Each village has its own Anbu.

Omoi naturally knew what Konoha's Anbu had come to do.

"Just now..."

Before Omoi could finish speaking, Shimura Shunta quickly interrupted, saying:

"Senior, that brat behind you killed two Ninja from Cloud Village. We are currently facing internal and external troubles, and he actually intends to start another war. I suspect he has ulterior motives."

We just joined forces with this Ninja from Cloud Village to capture him!

Upon hearing Elephant's question, Shimura Shunta, feeling guilty, broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Elephant was asking him a question.

After all, with the mask on, no one can see who he's looking at.

So he quickly piled every hat he could find onto Kanami's head.

Upon hearing this, Kanami's lips curled up slightly.

"As expected of someone from the Shimura family, he never disappoints."

Kanami sneered inwardly.

He was so eager to label Kanami, making sure Feng An was certain that Takeshi was aware of something.

After hearing Shimura Shunta's words, Xiang asked calmly, "Why?"

Kanami knew this question was directed at him.

But Shimura Shunta didn't know, and thought he was being asked why.

He quickly lowered his head and answered.

"Senior! This brat is actually a spy from another village. He's conspired with those Sand and Sound Ninja to incite war between Konoha and Hidden Cloud Village! Even if the Lord Hokage wins, we'll still suffer the ravages of war!"

Shimura Shunta said in one breath:

"Senior, we'll hand him over to Cloud Village for disposal. That's what the Lord Third did eight years ago, and that's how we earned the friendship between Konoha and Cloud Village."

The elephant beneath the mask had an extremely sinister expression.

Even disregarding Kanami's identity Anbu, his mere speculation about the Third Hokage's actions is enough to warrant his death several times over.

Especially considering that incident was not honorable, yet they still dared to use it as an example.

It's practically slapping Konoha in the face in front of the Cloud Village ninja.

After he finished speaking, Kanami gave a cold laugh, "Have you finished spouting nonsense?"

"Outrageous! How dare you utter such vulgar words in front of your seniors!"

Shimura Shunta suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open.

"Senior, I'll kill him for you!"

He was overjoyed. Taking this opportunity to kill the brat would not only avenge him, but also win the favor of his senior members in the Anbu.

Kill two birds with one stone!

He then quickly Hand Seals, and the water around him, which had not yet dried, began to solidify again.

"The fourth gate, the Gate of Pain, opens."

The instant he broke through the Gate of Pain, Kanami appeared above Shimura Shunta at an extremely fast speed.

He stepped on his head and slammed it into the ground.

Bang!

Before Shimura Shunta could even form Hand Seals, he slammed face down onto the hard ground.

Dust billowed up, and cracks resembling spider webs appeared on the ground.

The speed was so fast that Omoi, who was not far away, only noticed that it was Kanami who had stepped on him after Shimura Shunta's face hit the ground.

He had only felt a gust of wind rush past.

Omoi glanced sideways at Kanami, swallowed hard, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"W-This is Konoha Genin?"

At this point, he no longer had any intention of pursuing accountability.

Kanami slowly closed his eyes, activated his Mind's Eye of the Kagura, and said to Shimura Shunta at his feet:

"I've stopped. Stop playing dead. I have something to ask you. Were you involved in those two assassination attempts by Takeshi?"

Shimura Shunta's face was buried in the ground, and blood was streaming down his entire face.

Why does he dare to act so recklessly in front of his senior members of the Anbu?

Why is he so powerful?

I'm Elite Jonin, how could I be trampled underfoot by a brat?

Shimura Shunta couldn't believe what was happening.

"Did you hear that?" Kanami asked again, frowning slightly.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, Shimura Shunta's mind raced.

This was only the second time he had met the other party, and Takeshi probably hadn't implicated him for the sake of his son. As long as he insisted that he had nothing to do with him, he still had a chance to live!

His eyes lit up, and he quickly cried out in a sobbing voice:

"That was Takeshi himself seeking revenge on you for his son's sake, it has nothing to do with me! His son was in such a state, I really couldn't persuade him to stop!"

However, his sob story seemed utterly repulsive to Mind's Eye of the Kagura of Kanami.

Kanami closed his eyes, took out Kunai, and plunged it into his left hand, embedding it into the ground.

"Ah! My hand!"

The pain in Shimura Shunta's left hand instantly spread throughout his body, and his face contorted in agony.

He knew that only by insisting that he had nothing to do with it could he have a chance to live; if he admitted it, he would surely die.

His voice trembled as he said, "I'm telling the truth! I really didn't lie to you!"

"Senpai! Save me! I'm Lord Danzō's nephew!"

The figure in the distance frowned slightly beneath the elephant mask, offering no reply, but instead gazing into the distance—the place where the Four Violet Flames Formation, the battleground between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, took place.

"I'll give you one more chance. Is Danzō Shimura involved in this matter?"

Kanami's cold words reached Shimura Shunta's ears once again.
