The Mighty Qingshui

"Yuyue, attack together!"

The Yuyue mentioned by Seiji was the male Jonin who had been standing beside him from the beginning. He was also a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, just like Seiji, and his strength was second only to Seiji's.

At this moment, he had also arrived near Mikoto's main body.

Under Seiji's command, he didn't hesitate at all and attacked Mikoto together with Seiji.

As partners who had defected from Kirigakure together, the two had a tacit understanding. Both of them wanted to eliminate Mikoto as quickly as possible.

However, they had clearly underestimated Mikoto's strength.

Mikoto's main body, having snapped out of her surprise, immediately threw two shuriken.

The Uchiha Clan was also extremely talented in the manipulation of ninja tools, and everyone had mastered superb Shurikenjutsu.

Taking advantage of the opening created by the shuriken forcing the two back, she quickly completed hand seals and spat out a giant fireball.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.

As the most representative Fire Style ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, this was also their most commonly used move.

The giant fireball, carrying extremely terrifying heat, flew towards Seiji and Yuyue.

If hit, they would be either dead or severely injured.

Sensing the terrifying power of the fireball, Seiji and Yuyue's expressions changed drastically.

This was the Land of Rain, an extremely unfavorable environment for Fire Style ninjas. Yet, the opponent's ninjutsu actually possessed such power.

The two, who were both Jonin, could hardly imagine what it would be like to encounter her elsewhere.

They might be dealt with within a few moves.

They might not even need to use their Sharingan.

The gap between Jonin and Jonin was sometimes even greater than the gap between Jonin and Genin.

Fortunately, this was the Land of Rain, where the environment was advantageous to them.

Kirigakure was located in the Land of Water, and as a ninja from Mist, he was very skilled in Water Style ninjutsu.

This was also the main reason why he chose to come to the Land of Rain after defecting.

Although shocked by the power of Mikoto's Great Fireball, Seiji naturally wouldn't be unable to dodge it.

He instantly dodged the Great Fireball, and at the same time, having completed his hand seals, he unleashed his Water Style ninjutsu.

Water Style: Thousand Water Needles Technique!

The rain that was originally falling from the sky instantly changed its form, condensing into senbon that shot towards Mikoto at extreme speed.

These senbon had extremely strong penetrating power and could easily pierce through a ninja's body.

At the same time, Yuyue, who had also dodged the Great Fireball, launched his ninjutsu.

Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear!

Although they were Mist Village ninjas, this did not mean they only knew Water Style ninjutsu.

It was just that ninjas who knew other elemental ninjutsu were fewer in number.

Coincidentally, Yuyue was a Mist Village ninja who knew Earth Style.

The ground where Mikoto's main body was standing suddenly rose, forming a rock pillar that sent her flying into the air.

In this situation, she had nowhere to exert force and could not dodge Seiji's ninjutsu at all.

"Die!"

Seiji roared triumphantly. This was the tacit understanding he and Yuyue had developed over years of cooperation.

With this combination ninjutsu, they had killed several Jonin before.

Before his voice even fell, the numerous senbon condensed from the rain had already hit Mikoto's body.

"Teacher Mikoto!"

Sasaki Ayami, who also saw this scene, turned pale.

As a result, she failed to dodge the enemy's attack in time and injured her arm, which immediately began to bleed profusely.

Although Mikoto's three Shadow Clones were blocking as many enemies as possible, there were simply too many enemies, and she couldn't block them all.

Eventually, some enemies broke through and engaged them in battle.

Now that Sasaki Ayami was injured, the enemies showed no mercy. They sneered and prepared the next attack to take her life directly.

Her strength was not strong to begin with, and now that she was injured, she was even more powerless to counterattack effectively. She was kicked to the ground by an enemy.

Mukai Yuki was also entangled by the enemies.

Although he was stronger than Sasaki Ayami, he was only slightly stronger. He could not easily deal with enemies with Chunin-level strength.

"Ayami!"

Distracted, he was also injured.

"Leaf Village ninjas aren't that great either. I thought they were strong, but in the end, they're still going to die by our hands."

The rogue ninja who had injured the two spoke with killing intent.

They had always been bullied by the ninja of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and now they were going to get revenge.

Hearing the enemy's words, Minato became anxious.

His strength was the strongest among the three, but being entangled by three enemies at the front at the same time, he wanted to support them but his strength was insufficient.

The thought of possibly losing his companions again was something he could not accept.

But he knew he absolutely could not rush.

The more anxious he became, the easier it was to reveal flaws and be seized upon by the enemy.

At this moment, Minato desperately craved powerful strength.

If only he were strong and fast enough, he could protect everyone.

"Die, Leaf ninja!"

In the desperate gazes of Sasaki Ayami and Mukai Yuki, the enemy who was about to take their lives suddenly had his head fall off!

This sudden change left the two of them stunned for a moment.

They both froze in place.

"The enemies are not all dealt with yet, so I can only wait a bit before I can treat you."

Qingshui's voice rang out, finally bringing the two back to their senses.

It turned out that at the critical moment, it was Qingshui who had killed the enemy and saved the two.

Although there were initially four enemies attacking Qingshui together, with his current strength, dealing with them was not too difficult.

Even without using swordsmanship, he could deal with them using only Chakra Scalpel.

It would just take some time.

"So Brother Qingshui is actually this strong!"

Mukai Yuki looked at Qingshui's retreating figure with a stunned expression, feeling it was somewhat unreal.

A Medical Ninja, who in everyone's impression basically had no combat power, could actually quickly kill several enemies equivalent to Chunin.

This was not scientific at all, nor was it ninja-like.

Sasaki Ayami had the same expression as Mukai Yuki.

Ignoring their reactions, Qingshui continued to wield his Ninja Sword to support Minato, who was being ganged up on by enemies.

With Minato's strength alone, he could have held off the enemies. Now, with Qingshui's support, the outcome was obvious.

"Brother Qingshui, I really owe you this time," Minato said, still shaken.

Although he had only been in Mikoto's squad for a month, both Tomoki Yuu and Sasaki Ayami were his comrades in his heart. He truly didn't want to experience the pain of losing a comrade again.

Patting Minato's shoulder, Qingshui glanced at the other enemies being tied up by Mikoto's Shadow Clones.

"Minato, from now on, you'll be responsible for protecting Yuu and Ayami. I'm going to support Mikoto."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already charged forward. Minato obediently hurried to the side of the two injured comrades.

"We're sorry, Minato. We were holding you back," they said.

"It's good that you're both alright. Just trust Brother Qingshui and Sister Mikoto." As a Jonin, Mikoto wouldn't be killed by enemies so easily. Sasaki Ayami had simply been too worried just now.
