And a little while later Land of Waves.
"We were looking for you everywhere, and you actually came to our door yourself! Brothers, that woman is here... uh!"
As Kunai pierced directly into Gato's Men's forehead, the opponent fell to the ground helplessly while screaming.
Kurenai Yuhi, who took action, looked pale, and there was a stab wound on his waist and abdomen that was still bleeding even though it was wrapped with cloth.
But there is still no trace of timidity in her beautiful eyes, only the coldness of being Konoha Jonin:
"You are looking for me everywhere? What a joke, I am looking for you!"
Pulling Kunai out of the corpse, Kurenai Yuhi looked at these villains who were not even at the level of Genin, waiting quietly, hoping that they would pass on the news that they were here.
She directly exposed her whereabouts this time because she wanted to let these people come to her as much as possible and reduce the search intensity on Shino.
Although I don't know where Shino is now, he must not have fallen into the opponent's hands yet.
Just after she hid Ms. Tsunami, the daughter of Guard's target Tazuna, she caught a pursuing killer to extract information.
The order they received was still to find two people, which meant that Shino was still hiding.
[I am really a failure. It would have been nice if I had provided timely feedback when I discovered the illegal operation in this mission. Alas, Sakura, Shino, Ya, you all are safe, otherwise I...]
However, Kurenai Yuhi's actions of standing still made these minions mistakenly think that the other party was afraid of their "number of people".
For a time, several Gato subordinates exchanged glances with each other. No longer waiting for support, they all pulled out their weapons and stepped forward to shout.
"She is alone, what the hell Ninja, kill her and go get the reward from Master Gato!"
"She was seriously injured. She is no longer as powerful as before. It's just a bluff!"
"Hey, after I take it down, I want to..."
Kurenai Yuhi was stunned, he hadn't activated Genjutsu yet, why did these people suddenly lie to themselves with words?
Seeing that there are only a dozen Commoners in front of them, even if they are injured? Do they really think that they can win a Konoha Jonin in a head-on confrontation?
Kurenai Yuhi also sneered. Since the other party wanted to make the first move, she would not be polite, and then quickly Hand Seals.
"Genjutsu·Hell Viewing Technique!"
As Kurenai Yuhi's Hand Seals finished, a fierce sea breeze carried the waves and turned into raindrops, suddenly appearing in front of everyone's field of vision.
Then the sea breeze swept through the waves and turned into a curtain of water, completely covering the figure of Kurenai Yuhi.
The eyes of several Gato's Men who were rushing ahead suddenly began to become blurred and they stood there in a daze.
"Hey, what are you doing? Come to me..."
Standing in the back, Samurai, who seemed to have some say, looked at them just standing in front of this woman in a daze for no reason, and cursed angrily.
However, just as he drew his sword and was about to step forward, suddenly his companions beside him screamed in agony, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and they dropped their swords and ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Hey, why are you so crazy?"
He didn't understand it yet, but before the few of them who had not been attacked could wake up their teammates, Kurenai Yuhi had already bullied him--
Ninja who can become Jonin, even if he is injured, Taijutsu is not comparable to these gangsters and bullies who usually run rampant in the countryside!
"Eat me with a knife... ugh!"
Before the knife fell, Kurenai Yuhi kicked the opponent's chest with great force and force. The strong force caused the Samurai to fly backwards, vomiting blood and fainting.
However, this was just the beginning. After knocking the opponent away, Kurenai Yuhi transformed into a female Shinigami, holding Kunai in hand, and dealt a fatal blow to all those who had not reacted after being trapped in Genjutsu.
"Ugh!"
Just when Kurenai Yuhi was about to kill a few more bastards, she suddenly stopped. She looked at the fog that had arisen from unknown time around her. She suddenly looked horrified and suddenly exited the range of the fog, pulling away.
"What, what's going on?"
The few remaining villains woke up instantly, but at this time their faces were as pale as paper and they looked around in fear.
At that moment, they all saw what they were most afraid of, and at this moment, they saw their companions lying in a pool of blood, all of them lifeless.
The woman who caused all this to happen now distanced herself from them and looked at them nervously.
"Hmph, it looks really embarrassing. After all, it's Konoha Jonin. But now you have so few Chakra that you can't even hold on to a simple Genjutsu for long."
Kurenai Yuhi didn't answer. She listened nervously to the sound of the evil ghost coming from the mist, and kept looking around, trying to find out where the other party was.
That's the voice of Kirigakure Demon Zabuza.
And this time the other party didn't show up directly, presumably to prevent yourself from controlling him directly with Genjutsu?
If you use Ninjutsu or Shurikenjutsu to distance yourself, with her current state...
Kurenai Yuhi's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't expect that just when she was about to lure them away, this guy appeared.
And it's not just him.
Kurenai Yuhi Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the figure wearing Mask who was standing not far away, looking quietly at this side.
"It seems that my luck is really bad... No, I should say it's good luck."
"At least, you only found me."
Kurenai Yuhi exhaled slowly, covering the wound on her abdomen, and put away Kunai.
"How about a deal?"
"Deal?"
Zabuza's voice is full of interest.
"You should know that I am Konoha Jonin. Once I die here, the village will inevitably send Pursuit Force to recover my body to prevent Ninjutsu from being leaked."
Kurenai Yuhi's voice is calm.
"So what?"
"You are Missing-nin who is being hunted down by Kirigakure. Konoha and Kirigakure are in an alliance. Once Konoha's Pursuit Force will definitely inform Kirigakure when he finds out that I died in your hands. This Land of Waves is surrounded by the sea, where can you escape at that time?"
"And even if you don't kill me, according to time calculation, some of my companions should have fled back to the village, and your news has been exposed, and it is impossible to stay here..."
"... so what do you want?"
"I can cooperate with you. As long as you leave now, you can leave Land of Waves directly. I promise not to let Konoha's colleagues inform Kirigakure of your news. I know your reputation. Demon, who dares to assassinate Fourth Mizukage, do you not consider your own life compared to mine?"
Kurenai Yuhi's proposal made Zabuza fall into silence.
Whether it was Kurenai Yuhi or Zabuza, both of them ignored the Gato's Mens who were already shouting.
[Can it succeed?]
Kurenai Yuhi's nervous palms were sweaty, but his expression did not waver at all. As Jonin, his training in psychological quality was fully revealed at this moment.
But the next second.
A sneer sounded in the fog, and then a huge Kubikiribōchō carried a violent sound of breaking through the air, and rushed towards Kurenai Yuhi at extremely high speed!
[Failed!]
Kurenai Yuhi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
She could only hold up Kunai weakly, trying to block the thunderous blow.
As for what to do next... if we can't stop it, there will be no future!
And right now!
A figure Body Flicker Technique arrives!
In Kurenai Yuhi's shocked eyes, she saw that the other party was standing between her and Kubikiribōchō. Blond Hair, which was floating at high speed, slowly fell down, and the red vertical pupils were firmly locked on Kubikiribōchō, which was rotating at high speed.
Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the rotating Kubikiribōchō knife handle!
"Crack!"
The huge inertia took him a few steps back, but only a few steps.
"Give it back to you!"
Senjutsu Chakra was released, Naruto shouted angrily, and threw the Kubikiribōchō in his hand towards the place where Killing Intent was most abundant in the mist!
