Baki lightly tapped the ninja tool pouch at his waist, his gaze deepening. "Looks like Konoha sent some promising youngsters this time. But no matter how strong they are, they won't escape death today."
He gave a nearby Sunagakure ninja a meaningful look. The ninja immediately understood, turned, and ran deeper into the valley.
Asuma noticed the detail and inwardly cursed. Baki, what other trick are you planning? Do you have reinforcements?
Baki sneered. "Asuma, you should worry about yourself first.
"You're surrounded on all sides now. No matter how capable you are, don't even think about escaping this place."
As he spoke, he suddenly formed hand seals. "
Wind Release: Sickle Weasel!"
A sharp wind blade shot toward Asuma. Wherever it passed, the air itself was sliced apart with a howling "whooo" sound.
Asuma did not dare let his guard down. The Chakra Blades in his hands swung rapidly, and a blue blade of chakra collided with the wind blade. With a boom, both dissipated at once.
Asuma's arm went slightly numb, and he secretly marveled, Baki's strength truly lives up to his reputation. This Wind Release is incredibly powerful.
"Asuma, watch out for his Wind Release!"
Might Guy's voice came from the left. Having just dealt with several Sunagakure ninjas, his forehead was covered in sweat. "
"This guy's Wind Release ninjutsu is not only fast but extremely powerful. One moment of carelessness, and you'll be hit!"
Asuma nodded, his eyes fixed tightly on Baki. "I know. But we can't retreat either. If we lose here, not only will we die, we'll bring even greater trouble to Konoha."
He drew a deep breath, and the Chakra Blades in his hands shone blue once more. "
"Everyone, push a little harder! If we hold on, reinforcements might arrive!"
