The Whole Front Is Ablaze
"Oh my, I'm so touched."
Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the man carrying a large sword couldn't help but chuckle mockingly.
"We've rested enough, let's finish off these small fish."
A fat man carrying a large sword wrapped in bandages said calmly.
"Do you think you can just leave whenever you want?"
The Masked Man holding the long, thin, needle-like weapon spoke coldly.
"Die!"
A Kirigakure Ninja a strange fish-shaped weapon leaped high into the air, raising his Ninja Sword overhead and slashing down at Might Duy.
The Eastern Defense Line of the Land of Fire is now in full swing, with ninjas fighting everywhere across hundreds of kilometers of land, forests, lakes, and hills.
"The Kaguya Clan?"
Uchiha Nara looked at the young man in white ahead, the numerous masked ninjas dressed like members of the Kirigakure Hunter-nin Squad, and the many powerful Jonin around him, and was somewhat surprised.
The two sides fought for a long time. Naraku advanced all the way and cut through the Hidden Mist. Looking at the enemy's lineup and configuration, Naraku felt that he had probably messed with the Hidden Mist's command.
Kaguya looked at the man in front of her who wore a green vest, carried a long sword, had red eyes, and had long, black curly hair tied up.
"Lord Ichiya, this is the one who chased us the most fiercely last time. Ninjutsu is ineffective against him. It's truly Tensuke!"
The magistrate whispered a report to Hidden Mist, who was Kaguya next to him.
"This ninja unit is elite; let's wipe them out."
Kaguya was also quite aloof. As the Second Elder of the Kaguya Clan and the strongest member of the Kaguya Clan, she was used to being high and mighty in Hidden Mist and possessed a somewhat dignified and noble air.
Naraku, accompanied by two squads of guards, swept through the Hidden Mist, achieving unparalleled success, and was already far ahead of the ninja forces behind him.
"Hmm, good luck, it came to me without any effort."
Naraku looked at the white-clad man in front of him and nodded slightly. He had just exchanged blows with the ninja in front of him, and had struck him with his sword, but the sword was deflected, and the ninja only had his clothes torn.
Naraku's slash felt as if it had struck steel, and with the ten bone bullets fired from the opponent's ten fingers, Naraku immediately assessed the situation.
"Their side has eighteen people, twice the number of yours. Are you scared?"
Naraku asked the guards behind him.
Uzumaki Taki had already sensed the disparity in numbers between himself and the enemy, but Uchiha Nara continued to act as he pleased, Naraku surprise attacks along the way, and killing all the enemies he encountered.
However, the people that Uzumaki Taki Chakra possessed immense chakra, far surpassing that of his previous enemies, causing him some apprehension.
Inuzuka Manaomaru frowned as well. Anyone with strong sensory abilities could sense the powerful chakra of the opposing ninja; they must be an elite member of Hidden Mist Chakra a renowned Jonin.
"Naraku, why joke? He's just a clown from Hidden Mist."
The squad leader of the Anbu Guard Uchiha Zensui, showed an eager expression, while Uchiha Ruofeng silent.
Pfft
Is Hidden Mist a clown?
Before Uchiha Zensui could finish speaking, he was stabbed through the heart, and a cold female voice came from behind him.
A Kirigakure Ninja ambushed them from the rear and finished off Uchiha Zensui with a single blow.
Uchiha Zensui's eyes showed a look of shock, but the expression of shock didn't last more than two seconds before the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Boom!
The Shadow Clone, covered in Explosive Tag, exploded with a deafening roar.
The explosions seemed to signal a coordinated attack, prompting both sides to launch surprise attacks amidst the smoke and dust.
Naraku transferred Chakra into the longsword in his hand. Electricity flashed across the longsword, which was the way he used the Chidori transformation technique, the Chidori Blade.
Naraku leaped forward, slashing directly at the white-clad man opposite him. This time, the white-clad man didn't dodge as he had before; he seemed to sense the danger and leaped away to avoid it.
"Why are you hiding?"
Naraku wanted to test just how tough the Shikotsumyaku really was, but the man in white didn't give Naraku a chance and dodged directly, leaving Naraku somewhat frustrated.
Naraku continued to chase the man and attacked him again with his knife.
"Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
The man in white dodged while flicking his fingers, firing a bone-like bullet. The bullet struck the tree with a series of loud thuds, penetrating deep into the wood.
The white-clad man was in mid-air, his shoulder bulging out as a bone blade burst forth from his body. He grabbed it with his right hand and pulled it out; it was about sixty centimeters long.
No one knows how his body and bones grew; his body was incredibly hard, and his bones could break out of his body whenever they wanted.
"This Kekkei Genkai has a rather heavy appetite..."
Naraku observed carefully, his scarlet eyes fixed on the person opposite him.
The silver-haired man pulled out Bone Spike, pointed it at Naraku, and leaped from the tree trunk, charging towards Naraku.
"Dance of the Willow"
The man in white held a bone blade in his right hand, while Bone Spike about twenty centimeters long grew from the palm of his left hand, resembling a swaying willow branch. His attack speed was extremely fast, consisting of sharp blade attacks of the slicing and cutting type.
Naraku initially thought the white-clad man was using bone blades and Bone Spike for stabbing and piercing attacks, but he was mistaken.
"The Kaguya Clan is nothing special."
Naraku his long sword, parried left and right, deflecting all of the white-clad man's attacks.
In the battle between the man in white and Naraku's guards, despite outnumbering the enemy, gained the upper hand.
It turns out that these Hidden Mist knew about Naraku's Ninjutsu and dared not use Ninjutsu easily in battle, so they used Ninjutsu secretly and furtively.
Instead, they were suppressed by Naraku's guard squad.
The man in white remained expressionless when he saw that Dance of the Willow had no effect.
"Dance of the Camellia"
The white-clad man's bone blade moved with a rhythmic, rapid thrusting motion, which Naraku and right.
Bite!
The long sword in her hand, adorned with the Chidori Blade, clashed with the long sword in the white-clad man's hand, producing a metallic clang.
"The bones I create using my Kekkei Genkai are harder than steel. Your weapon is quite good; it can become one of my collectibles."
After fighting the white-robed man for a while, Naraku roughly understood the situation of the Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai and lost interest in continuing to fight the white-robed man in terms of Taijutsu and swordsmanship.
"I have plenty of these weapons; if you pledge allegiance to me, I can give them to you."
Naraku sheathed his longsword on his back and said softly.
Although the man in white remained expressionless and spoke casually, after their battle, he gained a deeper understanding of Naraku's strength. Naraku's Taijutsu skills were impressive, and defeating him without relying on Ninjutsu would likely be difficult.
"You've worked hard, you can leave now, I'll take care of this."
Naraku addressed the guards behind him.
"Hi!" X8
Upon hearing these words, Naraku's guards ceased their fighting, feinted an attack, and then retreated. They knew that Naraku was preparing to unleash a powerful, wide-range Ninjutsu.
"Taijutsu combat is so boring, let's have a Ninjutsu contest instead."
Naraku spoke softly to the white-robed man opposite him, while simultaneously forming three hand seals.
"Ninja Technique: Thundercloud Resonance!"
A layer of dark clouds rapidly spread from beneath Naraku and within his body, enveloping Naraku and causing lightning and thunder to rapidly expand within them.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
"It doesn't seem like Lightning Release?"
"Storm Release?"
Naraku's guards retreated, but the Jonin did not pursue them; instead, they surrounded Naraku.
Upon seeing Naraku's Ninjutsu and the dark clouds, they inquired about each other's abilities.
These people did not retreat because of Naraku's Ninjutsu. Naraku clearly acted like a leader, and capturing this person was far more useful than those small fry.
Naraku couldn't help but smirk slightly.
