Hatake Sakumo VS Uchiha Yaowan (1)

The sharp wind blades, with an attack radius far exceeding that of ordinary Vacuum Wave, severed everything in their path without any obstruction.

Zetsu's upper and lower body were forced to detach from his body, and even the Spiral White Zetsu was not spared, with his upper and lower body embarking on their own separate journeys.

Fresh blood gushed out from the broken stub.

Ignoring Sasori, who had Branch Family from Zetsu along with the Spiral White Zetsu, Kazashiro manipulated ice crystals to envelop Zetsu just as he was about to land.

"Sealing Jutsu: Ice Coffin Sealing!"

"Sealing Jutsu: Four Symbols Sealing!"

"Sealing Jutsu: Five Elements Sealing!"

Since quality cannot be compensated for, then we must overwhelm the opponent with quantity!

Various Fuinjutsu covered the ice crystals. Spiral White Zetsu hurriedly scurried underground.

When Kazashiro finished cooking and was about to go and cause trouble for Spiral White Zetsu, all that was left on the ground was the two halves of Sasori, who was completely dead.

Now there's no need to think about how to carry Scorpion; the opponent is completely dead. The only hope is that Yamanaka Inoichi can find some useful information from this broken body.

The group remained silent and began to perform their respective duties.

Fugutake Tonbo took out two scrolls from his vest, one labeled "Corpse" and the other "Sealed," and put Jue and Scorpion into the scrolls one after the other.

"Something's not right, Captain Kazashiro."

When the scene was almost completely cleared, Saint Simon suddenly frowned, and his expression turned extremely grim.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Kazashiro asked somewhat nervously.

"A long time has passed since we sent the message back to the village; it has now exceeded the reply time stipulated by the Intelligence Department. This situation is very abnormal."

Saint Simon looked up at the sky, trying to search for something in the night sky illuminated by the Hono.

"Perhaps some other unexpected situation has arisen. Don't overthink it. The village has the Third Hokage and Fourth Generation Hokage in charge; there won't be any problems."

Fugutake Tonbo also realized that something was wrong, but out of trust in the two Hokage, he didn't think anything serious would happen to the village.

It's more likely that some unforeseen event occurred within the Intelligence Department, causing the reply to be delayed.

"Hmm, I guess I was just overthinking it."

Saint Simon- Simon nodded in agreement with Fugutake Tonbo's explanation, then turned to Kazashiro: "Captain Kazashiro, Sasori is dead. Should we return to the village and report to the Lord Hokage?"

Kazashiro stood still, squinting as he looked towards the Land of Fire.

The village's task for me was to search for traces of the Uchiha. Zetsu's appearance meant that Sasori was indeed colluding with the Uchiha. Now that I have Sasori's body, there must be information about the Uchiha in his brain. I can say that I have completed my mission.

However, I always feel like I've overlooked something.

An idea suddenly flashed through Kazashiro's mind.

"Dragonfly, bring out the scorpion's carcass!"

Kazashiro's sudden shout startled Fugutake Tonbo Ting for a moment. After realizing what was happening, he hurriedly took out the scroll that sealed the scorpion's corpse.

Following Kazashiro's command, the Fugutake Tonbo summoned the scorpion's corpse from the scroll, and then Kazashiro was seen reaching out and groping its body.

I cannot sense the Flying Thunder God Formula.

There's no mistake, this corpse in front of me is not a scorpion at all!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

The group watched helplessly as Kazashiro formed the Wind Release hand seals and smashed Scorpion's corpse to pieces.

"Captain Kazashiro, what's going on?"

Saint Simon only managed to speak after the scorpions had flown everywhere.

"We've been tricked."

Kazashiro was somewhat annoyed.

The next second, the group discovered that the scorpions that were everywhere had slowly turned into white objects.

Fugutake Tonbo and the others stared in disbelief at what they were seeing. "What's going on?"

Kazashiro had no intention of explaining. Instead, he closed his eyes and tried to sense the Flying Thunder God Formula around him. After a long while, he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

The scorpion's location can no longer be detected, which means it has already run far away.

Was it when I used Fire Release?

After reviewing the battle, the only opportunity to carry out a switcheroo right under my nose was when my vision was obstructed by the flames during the release of a Fire Release technique.

"Let's summarize what happened here and report it to the village first. Then we'll continue heading towards the Land of Uzushio."

Kazashiro, whose CPU had been slightly overclocked due to a series of incidents, rubbed his forehead and gave an order with a grim expression.

Konoha.

"It was very interesting, but I still have to say goodbye."

He placed his index finger to his lips, Fuyuan slight smile, he surveyed the Dark Guards trapped by earth and rocks.

"Earth Release · Rock-Stealing Club."

Holding the sharp rock club in his hand, he threw it Fuyuan. After a scream, the spies watched helplessly as the Rock-Stealing Club pierced through them, unable to defend themselves.

"The Konoha Ninja are nothing more than --"

Fuyuan could finish speaking, he felt himself enveloped by a dense killing intent, and in his terror, his body was unable to react at all.

A flash of white light shot straight toward his neck.

"Earth Release - Earth Stone Spikes".

Yaowan's voice rang out, and at the critical moment, he used Earth Release to block the attack from an unknown source, helping Fuyuan avoid being decapitated.

After the white light disappeared, Fuyuan's tense body finally relaxed. His legs were a little weak, so he hurriedly ran to Yaowan's side and searched for the person who had just tried to attack him with a terrified look.

"Hatake Style: Instant Thunder Flash"

The white light appeared again, this time attacking from behind Yaowan.

The skeleton representing Susanoo appeared around Yaowan's body, incidentally protecting Fuyuan as well.

"So that's how it works. It's the Fourth Hokage."

Yaowan activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and barely managed to make out Sakumo's figure.

Such speed! Even the Mangekyō Sharingan could only catch a fleeting afterimage of the opponent's attack.

This speed far surpasses that of the legendary Fourth Raikage, who was known for his speed.

"Hatake Style - Thunder Fourth Style"

Four slashes came from four directions, but all struck the same spot.

The sound of bones cracking rang out, and Yaowan's calm expression, hidden beneath his mask, finally began to change.

[This guy actually shattered Susanoo with just his swordsmanship?]

What's even more infuriating is that this guy doesn't play by the rules at all.

Shouldn't they be asking about our intentions at a time like this? Why did we launch an attack right away?

He had anticipated encountering Sakumo or Hiruzen when he decided to attack Konoha again, and he had prepared a long speech for it. However, the other party had no intention of communicating at all and just kept launching attacks, which Yaowan found unacceptable.

"Hatake Style -ryu: Thunder Six Styles!"

Under the Six Paths sharp slashes, the cracks that had previously been broken by Sakumo spread again.

Looking at the cracks in Susanoo behind him, Yaowan knew that if things continued like this, Susanoo would eventually be found to have a weakness, and he had to stop Sakumo's actions.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Jutsu!"

Having finally caught a glimpse of Sakumo's afterimage, Yaowan unleashed his ninjutsu without hesitation.

The four flame dragon heads blocked all of Sakumo's attack positions; no matter how he dodged, one of the flames would always hit him.

The skeletal arm slowly extended, and Yaowan waited. If Sakumo really dodged the attack of the flames, he would use Susanoo to crush him flat.
