Pursuit!

He also highly values Shiro; the Giant Bird Puppet alone is enough to prove his talent. He is well aware of the impact that the Hawk Plan will have after it is completed.

Putting everything else aside, his wealth alone is a huge sum of money, and he also successfully became Konoha's White Fang's apprentice, and has a good relationship with the Hokage's direct disciple Minato Namikaze.

He was most grateful that Taichi and Shiro had a good relationship; otherwise, they would have faced even greater obstacles if they wanted to compete for the Hokage position in the future.

Furthermore, what surprised him most was that, according to Taichi, Shiro's fighting strength was no less than his own!

Keep in mind that Taichi is an Uchiha Genjutsu. Against him, there are basically no ninjas who are not proficient in Genjutsu or who have a large amount of Chakra. Even a Jonin would be killed by him in one move.

However, judging from Taichi's words, Shiro actually has fighting power no less than his own, and might even be able to kill him!

That's very powerful. You have to understand, not everyone can ignore a Three-Tomoe Genjutsu. This level of Genjutsu skill is already quite impressive.

Actually, Uchiha Yuexuan was a little mistaken. Shiro was able to ignore Taichi's Genjutsu not because of his Genjutsu skills, but simply because of his Noble Phantasm.

After fighting Taichi and suffering losses from Genjutsu, Shiro has been thinking about how to counter Genjutsu; he already has enough to learn.

Adding another Genjutsu would likely make him a jack-of-all-trades but master of none, which is not Shiro's goal. For Shiro, Projection Magecraft is the core.

The rest, such as Baji Quan, the Age of Gods Magecraft, and the Destructo Disc, are all for the purpose of Projection Magecraft, including Reinforcement Magecraft.

Don't be fooled by Shiro's current reliance on Reinforcement Magecraft; it will eventually become obsolete. First of all, Shiro's own attributes can be improved.

Secondly, when the Projection Magecraft is practiced to a certain level, it is possible to Projection the Status Panel, and even further, it may be possible to add it to the original.

Therefore, Shiro did not study Genjutsu, but instead tried to find a solution from the perspective of Noble Phantasm.

What he was thinking was that since Magecraft could be used in the form of Ninjutsu in this world, even though its power would be much weaker, it proved that the two were interconnected.

Secondly, the Rule Breaker also reacted to Summoning Jutsu. So, would other Noble Phantasm that target Magecraft also be effective?

As it turned out, Shiro's guess was correct. Shiro was immune to Taichi's Genjutsu. After many experiments, he discovered that the Sharingan of the Uchiha was the standard.

Genjutsu with Three-Tomoe or less are ineffective against Shiro. Shiro couldn't find a target to test his Mangekyo Sharingan on, but Shiro estimated it probably wouldn't work, since the Mangekyo Sharingan's Dōjutsu already involve a certain degree of power.

The unreleased C-rank Noble Phantasm alone is not enough to withstand the attack, but it might be possible after it is released. However, Shiro has no specific target, so it is still unclear at the moment.

However, for now, this is enough. In the Shinobi World, there aren't many Genjutsu that can surpass the level of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

However, even without Genjutsu, because his physique was stimulated by the Uchiha bloodline when he activated the Three-Tomoe, Taichi was still able to fight Shiro to a standstill using his other Ninjutsu.

At that moment, news came from the front Anbu that they were about to approach the last border and reach their battlefield, and that Shiro and the others should prepare!

This time, because there were many capable people, the only Shiro could be of use was the giant bird he provided when traveling from Konoha to the border. He wasn't asked to do the intelligence and reconnaissance work afterwards.

Because there were several sensory ninjas accompanying them, whose intelligence gathering abilities were stronger than Gray Snake's at this time, Shiro was naturally not needed.

Upon receiving the message, everyone spared a moment of attention and quickly checked their equipment once again!

Meanwhile, Heiichi and his team, leveraging their intelligence advantage, successfully created some distance, buying themselves some more time.

Unfortunately, with the Cloud Village having confirmed the general direction of the attack, Heiichi's tricks were largely ineffective, and the Cloud Village's encirclement was further tightened.

Meanwhile, because they were acting as a group of five this time, Heiichi's sleight of hand was less effective.

After all, he didn't have that much Chakra, so he didn't dare to create too many Shadow Clone Technique, and he also had to reserve Chakra for combat, so the effect was extremely low.

After using it twice and finding it ineffective, Heiichi gave up and focused on traveling with Mizuki and the others, while also conserving his Chakra.

"Takeda! Did you receive the message?"

"Not yet, Mito- sensei."

"Damn it! Hurry! The border is just ahead, there should be someone waiting for us there, speed up!"

"Yes!"

"Pfft!"

Unfortunately, just as they arrived at this border outpost, the last Konoha member had already been killed by the Cloud Village and was slowly falling to the ground.

Clearly, they arrived a little late. The people of Cloud Village weren't stupid. Perhaps they didn't initially suspect Konoha, but as Heiichi and his group's escape route became clearer, they couldn't hide it any longer.

Meanwhile, because the Cloud Village members were scattered across a large area, they Heiichi before Cloud Village and his group. And, to make matters worse, one misfortune after another befell them.

With a loud "boom," Ai's figure appeared behind them!

"Rat, I've got you!"

"How could it be so fast?!" Heiichi and the Heiichi turned around, staring in shock at the crackling sound of the aphrodisiac on their bodies!

Ai couldn't possibly catch up at normal speed, but after being outmaneuvered by Heiichi's guerrilla tactics multiple times, his anger had long since reached its limit.

Therefore, after calculating Heiichi and the others' destination, Ai used the Heavenly Transfer Technique to rush over, even though Ai's physical condition was not yet up to par and would be under a heavy burden.

But in his rage, he couldn't care less about anything else. Those who knew him well didn't stop him, but instead sped up to catch up and prevent anything from happening to Ai.

"Hoo~" Seeing this, Heiichi took a deep breath, Heiichi took out his katana, and slowly imbued it with Wind Release Chakra. At the same time, wisps of electricity spread across his body.

"Leave Ai to me, you guys keep an eye on things."

"Understood, Mr. Heiichi."

Takeda put down the prisoners on his back, and then, together with Mizuki, charged towards the group of Cloud Ninja, while the injured Hikari held his katana and stood guard in front of the prisoners.

"Hmph, a bunch of rats, why are you still making a futile struggle?"

"Whether it's pointless or not, we'll find out by trying!" With that, he flashed forward and slashed at Ai with his sword!

"When!"

Ai stretched out his left hand to block, and then suddenly punched Heiichi with his right fist.

Without any hesitation, Heiichi immediately retreated. He was joking; what would happen if he got punched by him?

Therefore, Heiichi could only play to his strengths and keep attacking Ai from his side, taking advantage of Ai's lack of agility.
