"You're asking to die..."
Seeing the man, Yechen unleashed a vicious slash, his blade surging with lightning.
Clang!
Their weapons collided, throwing off dazzling sparks. Lightning crackled along Yechen's blade as he drove the Jonin back.
Yechen moved to counterattack.
Just then, the other two Rock Ninja attacked, forcing him to change his move.
This was the three Rock Ninja's tactic: keep attacking relentlessly until he exposed an opening, then finish him off.
Yechen could clearly tell that the three had coordinated their movements.
One led the assault, one launched sneak attacks, and the last covered any gaps. Their roles were clear and their teamwork seamless. This was obviously not something they had put together on short notice; they must have fought together many times.
An ordinary Jonin would have been driven onto the defensive after a few exchanges, or even killed. Even an Elite Jonin stood a considerable chance of suffering the same fate.
But Yechen was different. To take him down through teamwork, they would need at least three Elite Jonin.
Though the three before him worked well together, their formation was not without flaws. At least, that was how he saw it.
Just now, for instance, Yechen dodged a Rock Ninja's kunai thrust. Although another Iwagakure Jonin immediately stepped in to cover the opening, he still had time to counterattack.
And that was his chance to break their formation.
With a thought, Yechen activated his Sharingan Genjutsu. Relying on his teammate to cover him, the Rock Ninja launching sneak attacks had never once avoided the Sharingan's gaze.
He fell victim to it immediately, freezing in place as his mind plunged into brief confusion.
"Taro..."
The Rock Ninja leading the assault saw this and flashed to Kuwata Taro's side, blocking Yechen's swinging sword.
Clang!
Yechen put all his
