The journey to the Land of Fire was halfway complete, and there had been no danger along the way. However, Uchiha Xiao Tian remained vigilant because Mizuki had been urinating more often these past few days.
Although his time travel brought about a huge butterfly storm, it seems that it may not have changed the fact that Mizuki, that hypocrite, colluded with Orochimaru, one of the Orochimaru Sannin.
Wow, so many birds!
Hearing Naruto's exclamation, Xiao Tian couldn't help but look towards the southern forest, where many flocks of birds seemed to have been frightened and flew away in panic.
Sasuke's gaze swept over, conveying the message, 'Danger is approaching.'
Xiao Tian met her gaze. 'Get ready to pick off the enemies.'
'Alright, my Chidori are starving and thirsty.'
"Everyone be on your guard." Chunin Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki noticed something amiss and instructed the caravan members to be careful.
At this moment, their caravan was on a mountain road. About 800 meters away, there was a shady area with several tall green trees, and a few meters further on, there was a bridge.
When they were about 400 meters away from the stone bridge, Xiao Tian felt a chill run down his spine due to the anti-reconnaissance sensing provided by the system; someone was monitoring them.
Although they had been under surveillance ever since they left the village, the sudden increase in surveillance was unusual.
"Have they got their eye on you?"
Xiao Tian Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki; these two Chunin were excellent and were already prepared to fight at any moment. However, those behind them...
He glanced at Mizuki out of the corner of his eye; that rascal was actually getting close to Naruto.
" Naruto, be careful."
This made Xiao Tian even more suspicious, so he quickly approached Naruto. However, Mizuki didn't pay any attention to Xiao Tian's approach, after all, he was just a kid in his eyes.
Even if a genin graduates Genin, it's not particularly unusual in Konoha's history.
As the caravan stepped onto the stone bridge, patterns of water element Chakra rippled in the air.
" Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!
In an instant, water curtains rose on both sides of the stone bridge, forming a huge water prison that blotted out the sky. However, compared to Zabuza's Water Prison Technique, it was much less effective. At the same time, several huge water spheres, similar to Great Fireballs, attacked Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki with tremendous force.
Both Chunin reacted quickly and dodged.
Inside the water prison, a figure flashed, and Kotetsu Hagane swiftly Hand Seals, unleashing the " Great Fireball Technique!"
As the mist billowed, Izumo Kamizuki Hand summoned a giant hammer and smashed it down with extreme ferocity. Instantly, a scream rang out, and blood gushed out.
The horses pulling the cart were killed by the aftershocks of the ninjutsu, and at that moment Xiao Tian discovered that Mizuki was engaged in a fierce battle with someone.
The battle was so intense that it tore open the water prison and moved it towards the outside.
Clang!
Xiao Tian turned his gaze to Kotetsu Hagane. Inside the water prison, two Kirigakure ninjas with flamboyant, punk-style hairstyles, wielding black chains, charged out.
The knife mark on his Forehead Protector confirms that he was a rogue ninja.
" Demon Brothers, Meizu, Gozu! You actually showed up! Looks like you really value us! But is it worth it just for a batch of goods!" Izumo Kamizuki arrived and, together with his best buddy, fought the Demon Brothers, gaining a slight advantage.
Whoosh!
Several Shuriken shot out from outside the water prison, their targets being Xiao Tian and Sasuke.
After easily dodging, the two exchanged a glance.
" Naruto, come with me!"
At Mizuki's location, the breach in the water prison had torn open, and Mizuki's figure had long since disappeared. Xiao Tian sped over and vaguely saw two figures. Without hesitation, golden light surged between his hands, Chakra erupted.
" Lava Release: Meteorite Bullet Technique!"
As Xiao Tian pressed down on the recoil, he charged forward, and the water prison in that direction quickly turned into white smoke. At the same time, two muffled groans of pain rang out.
