"Huhuhu..."
Sunagakure Leader Kazuma was breathing heavily and was injured.
He looked at the corpses of his companions lying on the ground around him with solemn eyes.
Karatachi Yagura of Kirigakure... This name is naturally very familiar to him who has fought against Kirigakure all year round.
The other party is not only powerful, but also has deep qualifications.
Although he looks like a boy... he is older than him.
Although he was mentally prepared before coming, he realized after the actual fight that he had underestimated the danger of the other party.
Yagura only led a team of six people, and they broke through Sunagakure's stronghold all the way and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the war zone.
Although he mobilized nearly thirty troops in a short period of time, he had only killed three of his opponents' teammates in the fight so far, leaving four including Yagura. On their side, more than twenty people had died... In terms of numbers, they had an absolute advantage, but their individual combat power was not on the same level at all.
The reason why there is such a big gap is entirely due to Yagura alone.
The only one who can compete with Yagura is Jonin.
"Ah!"
Just when Kazuma felt extremely troubled, Yagura on the opposite side suddenly shook him off and disappeared.
"Be careful!"
Kazuma immediately turned around and shouted to his companion a few meters away.
Bang!
A ball of water with huge power burst out and directly knocked a Sunagakure away.
Immediately, Yagura turned the coral stick in his hand like a ghost, and came close behind the other person.
"Wind Release rotating blade!"
Kazuma immediately Hand Seals, shaking his arms.
Shoot out several sharp blasts of wind.
The wind blade cut off Yagura's body, but what was splashed was not blood.
But water splash.
"Water Clone Technique!" Kazuma's pupils shrank.
As soon as he turned his head, another teammate had been hit in the vital point by the coral stick raised by Yagura, and the sneak attack was successful.
"The speed of the opponent's Ninjutsu is too fast... and it is completely integrated with the Taijutsu attack. He has rich combat experience, and the changes in feints and rhythms are beyond the ability of the people in his team to react to. Moreover, even in this dry environment, his Water Release can still maintain this power and effect..."
Kazuma immediately changed his mind and said in a deep voice, "Withdraw!"
Must retreat.
If they continue to fight, more of their people will die.
It's possible that everyone was buried here.
This is only the frontline area. With the remaining four people on the other side, even if you want to truly break through the village's defense line, it won't be that easy.
First spread the information, and once enough manpower is gathered and mobilized, the situation will be reversed.
"Hahahaha... want to run?!"
"With Master Yagura here, can you Sunagakure scraps escape? Hahahaha!"
Seeing Sunagakure start to retreat, a Kirigakure suddenly raised an exaggerated sword with both hands, swinging it in a circular motion, and slashed at a terrified Sunagakure.
"Asshole!"
Kazuma cursed in his heart.
These Kirigakure are determined to kill them.
Moreover, the members of this Kirigakure team, led by Yagura himself, are obviously elite members of Kirigakure... not the ordinary Kirigakure who infiltrated the territory before.
"Huh?"
It was too late for Kazuma to take action, and he was watching the junior being killed by Kirigakure.
At the critical moment, Yagura suddenly turned his head, as if he noticed something.
Quickly Hand Seals, a water balloon cannon shot into the air.
However, because Hand Seals was executed in a hurry, the power of Water Release was weakened.
"Be careful."
Yagura frowned and shouted to the subordinate who took action.
Kirigakure, who was holding the machete tightly, saw the water bombs launched by Yagura explode in the air. It seemed that they were cut by some kind of sharp weapon and failed to hit the target.
In his eyes, there was only a faint silver light flashing.
Silk thread?
He was stunned.
The next second, extremely slender silk threads suddenly wrapped his body in mid-air, but the person who used this technique had already landed on the ground first and squatted on the ground beneath his lower body.
"Who?"
Kirigakure's eyeballs moved slightly, with a horrified expression.
He was completely unaware of the other party's movements.
A squeaking sound.
The silk thread was pulled by Yubi's fingers, instantly tying up Kirigakure. The huge force pulled Kirigakure out of the air and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the sharp silk thread was also cutting Kirigakure's body, causing blood to burst out all over his body and covered with injuries.
"Eh... It's quite impressive. The front was restrained by my Ninjutsu, but it didn't turn into minced meat on the ground." Yubi stood up slowly, staring at the ferocious-looking enemy in surprise, who was resisting violently. Kirigakure used the big knife in his hand to open up some space in the shrinking silk threads, which also alleviated part of the injury.
His strength is outstanding...Taijutsu is obviously extraordinary.
"Yubi!"
Seeing Yubi, Kazuma's nervous expression suddenly broke out into a smile.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
Yubi?
That blood doctor Yubi... is he?
Hearing Kazuma's cry, the eyes of Yagura and others immediately focused on the kid who suddenly appeared.
"Yo!"
Yubi raised his hand and said hello to several Sunagakure survivors, with a smile on his face, "It seems... I came in time."
The originally fierce fighting scene was temporarily interrupted because of his appearance.
Then, Yubi put away his smile and looked at the three Yagura opposite.
The air felt a little depressing for a while.
"!!!"
The next second, without any warning, Yagura teleported to a teammate and knocked away a flying knife from the air with his stick.
Then, he dodged to the side of another person, raised his weapon, and collided with the young man who suddenly rushed towards him.
Yubi launched a series of attacks that Kirigakure did not expect in the blink of an eye.
Instead of taking the lead in dealing with the seriously injured Kirigakure, he first attacked one person with a flying knife to divert attention... the real intention was to kill the other Kirigakure.
And the two Kirigakure who were targeted by Yubi... didn't react.
If he hadn't taken action, one would probably be dead and the other injured now.
Yagura's eyes suddenly became serious.
"This kid... is really good at it. It's not a name that Sunagakure deliberately touted and created. It seems that... some things about him are probably true." Yagura secretly said.
clang clang clang.
In an instant, two short figures, Yubi and Yagura, started a crazy fight.
Without any warning, the fighting at the Taijutsu level began.
"This kid... can actually be with Lord Yagura..."
Kirigakure, who had been saved his life, looked shocked when he saw this.
It is also impolite to come and go without reciprocating.
Yubi seemed to be fighting fiercely with Yagura in an instant, but he used his strong physical mobility to get rid of the opponent in a short while.
Shift your focus to another target.
His purpose has always been to reduce the opponent's number first.
However, the experienced Yagura clearly saw through his thoughts and insisted on clinging to him.
"Be careful with his Blood Release! His blood contains poison, don't get hit!"
Not only was he fighting fiercely with Yubi, Yagura was also distracted and issued reminders to his subordinates.
Whoosh!
It took less than half a minute from the time the two of them fought to the moment they separated.
But the number of close combat blows has been countless.
The two of them are not simply playing games... but are testing and observing each other's combat "information" and fighting with their brains.
Yubi stepped back and landed, with his back to Kazuma and the others.
"Captain Kazuma, please leave first and leave this place to me."
Yubi said softly.
"..."
Kazuma was stunned.
The opponent is that Karatachi Yagura... not to mention there are two elite Kirigakure who can work together.
If they don't help, Yubi will just rely on himself...
"Go first."
Yubi looked back at him and raised his lips. "Don't worry... even if I can't be beaten, I can still run away... Haha, if you were here, I would be more worried."
After saying that, Yubi looked at Yagura: "Senior's target should be me... My value to Kirigakure is obviously greater than that of my companions. If you let them leave, it will be easier for you to take action against me, right?"
"..."
Yagura said nothing.
Behind the scenes, Kazuma hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
Take the others and go first.
Because the meaning expressed by Yubi is very clear. He is not going to fight to the death with the opponent, but to hold the enemy back first and then wait for an opportunity to escape.
In this way, if they still stay, they will indeed drag down Yubi.
Watching Sunagakure's remaining soldiers go away, Yagura's men did not pursue them.
After "clearing" the rest of the crowd, Yubi's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze wandered between the three of Yagura.
Obviously, the other party already has certain intelligence about his Kekkei Genkai and is wary of it.
He let Kazuma and others go, not really to create favorable conditions for escape... but because he didn't want the people in the village to know his current true strength.
For this reason, in his recent activities, he didn't even bring Pakura with him.
The purpose is to do our best to kill Kirigakure's people, improve the efficiency of the task, and avoid being timid.
Now that Sunagakure is no longer here, he doesn't have to worry so much.
"But... he is good at Water Release. He can't let people in Kirigakure see that Water Release affects me Blood Release. With his experience and eyesight, he can definitely detect it. So... if you want to win this battle, the best way is to use other trump cards..."
Yubi smiled slightly.
Then, he moved his limbs.
The first time I fought against Jonin was with Konoha, and I almost got killed...
In the following missions, Yubi and Scorpion also deliberately "avoided" Jonin-level combat power.
And now... standing in front of him is not just Kirigakure's Jonin.
Or...Elite Jōnin, the future Mizukage.
"One to three... not too bad." Yubi smiled.
Then, with his eyebrows lowered, his eyes revealed a touch of joyful excitement and... murderous intent.
"Come on... Senior, the two of us... have a good time."
Yagura frowned and his eyes turned cold, "If you want to be a hero... you have to pay a price."
"Kill him."
Yagura said indifferently.
He is not so naive that he wants one-on-one just because Yubi is alone.
This is a battlefield... there is only life and death, no dignity.
The moment the words fell, the three of them rushed towards Yubi.
