Desperate Situation

Unfortunately, A couldn't react to the speed enhanced by his Lightning Release Armor, but his reflexes were still quite good; he blocked every strike from Heiichi with his Gauntlet.

Aiko didn't dare to rely on his Lightning Release Armor's Heiichi. He could clearly sense the Wind Release Chakra wrapped around it. Perhaps his father could have blocked it, but he couldn't in his current state.

Heiichi had no other choice but to continue increasing the Lightning Release Chakra he used to stimulate his body, further strengthening himself in an effort to render A incapable of fighting as soon as possible.

Then they went to support Takeda and his group, whose situation wasn't good.

Although Heiichi estimated that those few Cloud Ninja were at most Chunin level, similar to Takeda and his Takeda, there were simply too many of them!

Therefore, Takeda and his group are gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, and even Hikari has begun to fight against them.

The situation is extremely critical!

Meanwhile, Shiro and his group also approached Konoha's first stronghold here.

From afar, Shiro and his men heard the shouts of battle. Their expressions tightened, and they quickly drew their weapons and sped up their advance!

When Shiro and his group arrived, the sensory ninja who had led the way was struggling against the people at the stronghold. Clearly, they were at a disadvantage against the group of Cloud Ninja, even though the sensory ninja had Konoha's Anbu accompanying them.

After all, these were not ordinary Cloud Ninja. They were all wearing masks and dressed similarly to the Konoha Anbu. It was obvious that they were Cloud Village Anbu Ninja.

Upon seeing them, Shiro became even more curious about the mission's objective; the scale of the operation was astounding, with even the Anbu (Anbu) being dispatched.

Seeing this, everyone rushed forward without hesitation to assist in the battle.

Well, to be precise, it's mowing the lawn.

The Cloud Village Konoha; only those who qualify for the Anbu can be selected through special means. In contrast, their elite Chunin are enough to qualify. Therefore, they are no match for the high combat power of Shiro and his group.

Needless to say, the Uchiha members who came all had activated their Sharingan, and all of them had Three-Tomoe. In a single exchange, their opponents were instantly defeated.

Shiro's side was in a similar situation. In order to buy time, Shiro was very decisive this time. He directly Projection the Frieren Scharfrichter and released it, instantly beheading the enemy!

The others were similar; they all defeated their opponents in an instant.

Because of the time constraint, only those with strong combat abilities rushed forward; the junior Genin, knowing their limitations, did not step forward.

Well, there are still two people who are really clueless. Despite having extremely high combat power, they just didn't rush forward.

That's right, we're talking about Dai and Master Chen. But it's normal that Master Chen isn't participating. Although his Taijutsu are strong, he's still a bit lacking in killing speed. As for Dai, he simply doesn't want to make a move.

Since they are currently capable of handling the situation perfectly and it hasn't reached the point where the Eight Inner Gates Formation is needed, he will continue to remain hidden.

After dealing with the Cloud Ninja, Shiro and his group ignored the messy camp and sped up their journey. If the Cloud Village had advanced to this place, then Heiichi and his group would probably be caught up soon.

Therefore, instead of cleaning up, they brought the people from the camp with them to provide support.

The fact that the Cloud Village even dispatched its Anbu shows how seriously they take this mission. Therefore, they were a little worried about not having enough manpower, so they simply brought them along to supplement their forces.

Furthermore, this base was originally set up to monitor Cloud Village, and now that the enemy has attacked the base, there is no longer any need to stay and guard it.

Therefore, the people at the base had no objections and readily agreed to Shiro and his group's suggestion.

On the other hand, compared to Shiro and his group's smooth sailing, Heiichi and his group faced much greater difficulties.

Heiichi was still locked in a stalemate with Ai, barely managing to gain the upper hand. However, Takeda and his men were in a much worse situation, not only falling into a disadvantageous position and retreating again and again, but also almost losing their prisoners.

Although Mizuki has awakened the Sharingan, it is only at the One-Tomoe. Over the past few years, she has only been constantly honing her skills in its use and has not made any further progress to the Two-Tomoe level.

Actually, her speed of advancement is the most common among Uchiha. The speeds of Taichi and Yue are abnormal, too fast, and too risky.

Moreover, they don't want to encounter it; they prefer to progress gradually rather than be provoked into instant success, as the outcome would be too cruel for them.

Therefore, although Mizuki's Sharingan was not as fast as her brother's, her genius aura within the clan was not diminished in the slightest.

Unfortunately, her One-Tomoe eye power only gave her a slight advantage; her abilities weren't particularly outstanding. She was fine in one-on-one situations, but when outnumbered, she found herself in a predicament.

Mizuki was in an even more difficult situation Takeda, because her specialty was actually Ninjutsu, but she was too young and her Chakra reserves were severely insufficient.

In such battles, the power of Ninjutsu is completely rendered useless, because there is more than one opponent.

In fact, Mizuki had experienced this situation where Ninjutsu was not very effective against multiple opponents in the Land of Demons. Unfortunately, she later believed that the Ninjutsu was ineffective mainly because the opponent was a puppet and her own Ninjutsu skills were not up to par.

Therefore, although he intensified his Taijutsu training after returning, he did not truly value it, but instead rushed to develop the Sharingan.

This is actually a common problem for most Uchiha, because their bloodline limit is too strong, and once it is awakened, the focus of their training will change.

This condition is more likely to occur in younger children, and Mizuki is no exception.

However, even if her Taijutsu were better, it wouldn't have mattered because the difference in numbers was too great, and her stamina simply couldn't keep up.

If Mizuki, whose constitution had been improved after awakening her eyes, was in such a state, then Takeda and Hikari, who did not have special bloodlines, were in even worse shape. Hikari, in particular, was already injured, and this intense battle further depleted her resources.

At the same time, because the prisoners were almost rescued, Hikari, in a moment of desperation, disregarded his injured body and forcibly used the Secret Sword.

Although he had killed his opponent, his own injuries had become even more severe!

However, an even more unfavorable situation arose!

The pursuers from Cloud Village have arrived!

Seeing this, the four men couldn't help but feel despair! They were already at a disadvantage, merely clinging on desperately, and with the pursuers closing in, their hopes became even slimmer.

Sure enough, as soon as the enemy arrived, they snatched back the prisoners instantly, and at the same time, Heiichi was completely overwhelmed by the AB duo!

Meanwhile, the search leader, eager to make a name for himself, charged straight at Hikari, his body crackling with lightning. Combined with his ferocious expression, he looked like a demon in the world!

At the same time, several Jonin from the pursuing group leaped out and rushed towards Takeda Mizuki. This mission had dragged on long enough; they had to finish it as soon as possible!

Ai and Killer B understood this as well, so after they met up, they stood one in front of the other and roared in unison.

"Compare!"

"Oh!"

"Lariat!"

Heiichi and his team were instantly in dire straits!

The extra chapters for the guild leader's reward are finally finished. I'm exhausted. There are still eight chapters left to go, I'll slowly repay them in a couple of days. It's tough. Oh, and thank you to DreamyRainQ for the reward! Thank you for your support!
