"What a troublesome fellow!" Oniki thought to himself.
The enemy was very experienced in combat, but he was no pushover either.
In the thick fog, a figure silently crept towards Oniki, moving without a sound, a flash of lightning.
puff...
"Hmm, this is... Earth Clone."
Aoki Tsuki looked at the Oniki that had been shattered into mud and was about to jump away when he found he couldn't move. Looking down, he saw that the ground beneath his feet had turned into a glue-like mud.
It held his legs firmly in place.
Earth Release: Mudslide
boom...
A mudslide several meters high swept in like a tidal wave, covering the entire mountaintop.
Aoki Tsuki plunged his longsword into the mud beneath his feet, and Lightning Release Chakra flowed through the blade into the mud, disrupting its structure.
Quickly Hand Seals.
Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave
Thud...
A massive torrent of water gushed out, crashing head-on into the black mudflow, and was quickly overwhelmed by its immense force.
This bought precious time, and Aoki Tsuki took the opportunity to break free from the mud.
" Body Flicker Technique "
Rumble...
As the thick fog gradually dissipated, and after the mudslide swept away the debris, the mountaintop became a smooth path.
"Huff... Huff... Did they take them down?!" Oniki looked at the enemy's location with suspicion, wondering if they had been buried alive.
A voice suddenly rang out from not far to the side: " Lightning Release: Earth Flow "
Sizzle... sizzle...
A tingling sensation swept through his entire body, Oniki couldn't stop trembling, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
"Ah...!!"
That's enough.
Aoki Tsuki was about to rush over and finish off his target with a single strike, a burst of Kakkō flew from his side.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu
The dancing fireballs resembled blooming balsam flowers, their attack trajectories unpredictable, controlled by Chakra.
Aoki Tsuki's figure flashed several times at lightning speed, precisely avoiding all the fireballs, as thoughts raced through his mind.
"This level of control... Sharingan's exclusive Fire Release, who is it?"
A figure flashed, and a young man appeared between Oniki and Aoki Tsuki, saying, "I'm sorry, the Land of Forests is an ally of Konoha. I cannot allow you to harm him."
'Oh no, it's Shisui Uchiha!'
Aoki Tsuki was startled when she saw who it was.
Although the other party looked young, he dared not be careless at all, for a person's reputation precedes them.
"Wait, this guy couldn't have activated his Mangekyo right now, we can't just leave like this."
If I turn around and run away now, how will I ever be able to survive in the future?!
"You know that the Land of Forests has already pledged allegiance to Iwagakure, right?"
Shisui Uchiha knew this, of course, but he could only pretend not to know, using the current situation to force the other party to stand on Konoha's side again.
"None of what you're saying actually happened. I believe Oniki wouldn't do such a thing, don't you agree?"
Oniki was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, we are military allies with Konoha, and Konoha must protect me."
As he spoke, he slowly backed away.
First, a group of people come to kill him, then another group comes to save him. Do they think he's stupid?
While this later Konoha Ninja was keeping the assassin occupied, he could take the opportunity to escape to Iwagakure and seek refuge.
"Since you still acknowledge Konoha as an ally, that's good."
Shisui Uchiha's figure suddenly blurred, and the next second he appeared in front of Oniki, his scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly.
"Forehead..."
Oniki rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Ordinary people can't withstand the Genjutsu activated by the Sharingan, let alone the Genjutsu cast by a Genjutsu master like Shisui.
Aoki Tsuki's blue pupils involuntarily contracted. The person who had just been fighting him to Shisui had knelt down the moment Shisui glared at him.
What do we do?
To fight or to flee, that is the question!
You're gambling that the opponent hasn't awakened the Mangekyo. If you lose, you might not die, but the opponent will definitely use their Sharingan to probe your personal information.
If you win, it's 20 million taels.
'If it's just the Three-Tomoe Sharingan...'
Having made up his mind, he said, "It's difficult for me to explain this to you, Momoko for me like this."
"I'm sorry, this is my mission. I can roughly guess what your mission is. Don't worry, I will report truthfully when I return to the village and won't implicate you."
Are you kidding me?
The Fourth and Third Hokage will definitely hold Danzo accountable for his underhanded and unnecessary actions.
Danzo will be unhappy and blame Amegakure for being incompetent, and he probably won't ask them for favors again.
This is the wealthy tycoon of Amegakure, Aoki Tsuki's part-time boss; he absolutely cannot afford to offend him.
"I have a mission too. Enough talk, let's see what we can do."
Seeing Aoki Tsuki's resolute attitude and his battle stance, Shisui Uchiha sighed softly, holding his sword in his right hand and forming a hand seal with his left.
"Then there's no other way but to use the Body Flicker Technique!"
He watched the entire battle between Aoki Tsuki and Oniki and knew that ordinary techniques were no match for their opponent, so he directly used his trump card Ninjutsu.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh
More than ten figures of Shisui suddenly appeared in the arena, surrounding Aoki Tsuki and launching a simultaneous attack.
"Here it comes...! Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
The circular water curtain rotated rapidly, firmly protecting itself.
Puff puff puff...
More than a dozen Shisui passed through the Water Formation Wall simultaneously without any hindrance, leading Aoki Tsuki to believe that the opponent also possessed Kamui.
Ding ding ding...
Faced with such a large group attack, the knife in his hand was so powerful that it left afterimages.
"When I attack him, it's just an afterimage; when he attacks me, it's a solid entity, damn it!!"
A combination of Taijutsu, Shadow Clone, and Genjutsu? Or the ability to switch between main bodies at will?
That's no longer important; in the Genin, speed is the only thing that can't be broken.
His Body Flicker Technique and swordsmanship are also very fast, and he is not at a disadvantage in a fight against multiple opponents. Just pretend that more than ten people are attacking him at the same time.
Every technique has its weaknesses; even Kamui requires the user to materialize before attacking.
"This guy... is very strong!"
Shisui was also very shocked. Under normal circumstances, either the Body Flicker Technique or the Sharingan could instantly kill a regular Jonin.
The person in front of him actually managed to intercept every single one of his attacks using his extreme speed.
The two sides fought their way from the top of the canyon to the bottom, amidst flashing swords and extremely dangerous battles.
"His power and Chakra far surpass mine. Continuing like this is disadvantageous for me. There's no other way..."
Thinking of this, Shisui quickly leaped backward, his hands rapidly Hand Seals, his chest suddenly swelling up.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
A massive fireball hurtled towards us from mid-air.
Aoki Tsuki landed lightly on the river, his hands Hand Seals. A huge water dragon rose from behind him, opening its massive mouth to swallow the Great Fireball whole.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
In places with water, the power of Ninjutsu can be maximized.
puff...
The scorching heat instantly evaporated a large amount of white smoke, and at that moment, a huge Three-Tomoe Sharingan suddenly magnified through the mist.
"Huh? Did you get infected?"
Aoki Tsuki found himself instantly transported to a crimson space, where he was nailed to a cross by seven or eight enormous iron nails.
The Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique can be considered a low-budget version of Tsukuyomi.
"Hmph, if that's all you've got, you can't do anything to me!"
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, and a massive surge of spiritual power erupted, causing a ball of flame to appear in the crimson space.
Under Aoki Tsuki's control, the flames began to Uzumaki clockwise, setting everything in their path ablaze.
Within a few breaths, the flames spread throughout the entire space.
" Heart Wheel Illusion Breaker: Resolution"
Click...
The illusory, blood-red space collapsed abruptly under the scorching flames of the spirit, but in reality, it only took the blink of an eye.
That's enough!
After Shisui cast Genjutsu on Aoki Tsuki, he was about to leave when he noticed that his opponent's body only paused for a moment before immediately recovering.
They were immediately alarmed.
'How is this possible? You broke my spell so quickly!'
"I'll return those words to you verbatim. That's the end of it... Rainstorm Breathing - Lightning Burial."
Lightning Release Chakra spread several meters along the blade, transforming into a massive lightning blade that slashed downwards like lightning striking the earth.
thunderbolt...
" Body Flicker Technique "
Shisui Uchiha activated the Body Flicker Technique, narrowly avoiding the countless tiny lightning bolts spreading throughout the void, thanks to the Sharingan's perception abilities.
Then the opponent's attack came again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
A string of high-density water droplets tore through the air, relentlessly sweeping across the scene.
Water Release: Water Hail Bullets
Shisui simultaneously threw Shuriken with both hands, then Hand Seals and exhaled flames.
" Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire Crimson"
Through the precise control of the Sharingan, flames are attached to each Shuriken, giving them both cutting power and high-temperature burning damage.
It resembled an attack launched by the giant claw of a wild beast.
Thump thump thump...
The Water Hail Bullets shells were all intercepted, and the precision of the technique left Aoki Tsuki on the other side speechless.
" Uchiha Shuriken Throwing Technique? Damn it!"
His attack trajectories are random, yet they can be precisely intercepted under such circumstances, which is completely unreasonable.
At this point, his Chakra was also running low, and he started to panic.
Who knows if the opponent will suddenly awaken their Sharingan when they're in dire straits and turn the tables on him, the villain? A genius with the Sharingan makes him particularly susceptible to stimulation.
Beep beep beep...
Suddenly, a whistle rang out from above the mountaintop.
Aoki Tsuki hurriedly Hand Seals, unleashing " Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique ".
The river water rose again, and a huge water dragon crashed towards Shisui, who hurriedly mobilized his remaining Chakra to counterattack.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
The super-hot faucet formed from condensed flames collided with the water faucet, and white mist once again filled the air.
Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan caught sight of Aoki Tsuki's rapidly receding figure, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Did your comrades already succeed in their attack while you were holding me back?!"
You should eliminate all of the opponent's companions before taking action; that way, even if the opponent is very strong, this situation won't occur.
'I was too careless; I need to learn from this lesson.'
The mission has failed.
Shisui Uchiha decided not to linger any longer and turned to head towards the Land of Fire.
