Collision! Fire Style vs. Water Release

What do you want me to do?

But he also knew that he couldn't take revenge on a behemoth like Konoha on his own; at most, he could only kill a few lone, weak Konoha Ninja from time to time.

Moreover, it was his own retaliatory behavior.

It certainly gave me a good venting of my anger.

But it has certainly attracted the attention of Konoha.

At this point, breaking ties with Zabuza would clearly be extremely unwise.

"First, we'll recruit some decent rogue ninjas, then we'll establish our own ninja village in a country far from the Five Great Nations..."

"I've already sent my Demon Brothers to gather information!"

And at this moment--

On the outskirts of this forest.

Several figures were approaching.

"Woof woof..."

Three large wolfhounds stopped there and began sniffing.

The lead Hana Inuzuka, Kuromaru around and barked softly at its master, Inuzuka Hana.

"Kuromaru said the smell is getting stronger, it must be in this area..."

Hana Inuzuka's expression was solemn.

There, he said in a deep voice to Kurenai Yuhi and the others, "And there should be five of them!"

Although Zabuza, Raiga Kurosuki, and others did use special methods to remove their scent and thus evade the tracking of Ninja Dog.

However, the Inuzuka Clan's Ninja Dog are ultimately different from ordinary Ninja Dog; their sense of smell is much more sensitive, and they managed to find this place by relying on the faint remaining scent.

This was clearly Zabuza hadn't anticipated.

"Thank you for your hard work, Little Hana!"

Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile.

She One-Handed Hand Seals and closed her eyes to sense her surroundings.

Having perfectly acquired the power of the Red Eye Clan, he possesses an even stronger sensory ability than before.

Although she couldn't achieve the exaggerated abilities of Karin Mind's Eye of the Kagura, she could still easily sense targets more than ten kilometers away.

"I did sense two extremely strong Chakra and one slightly weaker one, just over ten kilometers away... In addition, there are two weaker Chakra constantly approaching that area; they are clearly a group!"

Moment.

Kurenai Yuhi opened her eyes.

His expression was somewhat grave as he addressed the others in a deep voice, "There are five enemies in total. Our initial assessment suggests two Chunin and one elite Chunin..."

"In addition, there is one Jonin and one Elite Jonin... or even possibly two Elite Jonin!"

"It seems the mission's objective may be beyond our expectations. Everyone, be careful!"

She hadn't expected it.

Originally, the mission was simply to pursue Raiga Kurosugi, an S-rank missing-nin Raiga Kurosuki from Kirigakure.

Such a drastic change has occurred; the enemy's numbers exceed the intelligence.

If it were any other team, recklessly pursuing them would likely lead to serious trouble.

"So, besides Raiga Kurosuki, there are other ninjas... who might even be elite Jonin as well?"

The Hana Inuzuka have changed color somewhat.

"Isn't the target more than Raiga Kurosuki?"

Uzuki Yugao's expression changed slightly, and she asked directly, "Senior Kurenai, should we report to the Lord Hokage first and request reinforcements?"

"Anko..."

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Anko and asked for her opinion.

"Okay, let's go!"

Anko, brimming with confidence, clenched her fist in a fist-and-palm gesture.

This was exactly what she wanted. "I can't wait!"

"That's decided then! Let's get started!"

High skill breeds boldness.

Kurenai Yuhi was equally eager to try and immediately gave the order.

Hana Inuzuka and Uzuki Yugao exchanged a glance.

Although she was somewhat worried, Kurenai Yuhi was the captain after all, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Now, I'll lead the way, everyone be careful!"

Kurenai Yuhi said directly.

Right hand, fingers together, held upright in front of the body.

His eyes were filled with red Chakra.

The trees, weeds, and rocks in front of us were all seen through directly.

A variety of hidden weapons and traps were revealed before him.

Everything is clearly visible.

Chapter 165 Clash! Fire Style VS Water Release [Second Update]

"Hmm? That's..."

As we delve deeper...

Approximately twelve or thirteen kilometers from the target.

With her Red Eye, whose perception surpasses even that of the Byakugan, Kurenai Yuhi saw through layers of obstacles and stared directly at the cave emanating a powerful Chakra reaction.

Upon seeing the figures inside the cave, her pupils constricted sharply.

A strangely shaped Kubikiribōchō caught its attention, and it immediately recognized it. "The Kubikiribōchō, one of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure..."

"Kubikiribōchō?"

Originally following behind Kurenai Yuhi and Anko, Hana Inuzuka and Uzuki Yugao exchanged bewildered glances when they saw that the other party didn't use Ninja Dog to scout ahead and instead took the lead, even expressing some dissatisfaction. They felt that the other party was being far too arrogant.

"No mistake, it's Demon Zabuza, the missing-nin from Kirigakure, and Raiga Kurosuki is here too!"

Kurenai Yuhi was certain of it.

She had already checked the wanted poster for Black-House Raiga before she set off.

He even went so far as to check the list of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure.

They recognized each other naturally.

"Two Seven-Sword Masters of the Kirigakure Mist"

Anko couldn't help but grin, utterly astonished. "This is really winning the lottery!"

"Wait, according to your previous perception, they're at least ten kilometers away, right?" Uzuki Yugao looked at Kurenai Yuhi with some doubt and disbelief. "How did you determine that distance?"

"Senior Kurenai, do you possess the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan?"

Hana Inuzuka couldn't help but ask in shock.

But both she and Uzuki Yugao noticed that Kurenai Yuhi's eyes hadn't changed at all.

However, his eyes were filled with red Chakra, making them look somewhat strange.

"No, it's just that I also possess Dōjutsu that allows me to see through objects..."

Kurenai Yuhi responded with a smile.

After realizing her own man's capabilities.

She gradually let go of her reservations.

With the Rikuto backing them up, they naturally have nothing to fear from arousing the Hyuga Clan's suspicion.

"So that's how it is..."

Uzuki Yugao and Hana Inuzuka were naturally quite surprised.

But since this involved someone else's secrets, they naturally couldn't ask any further questions.

For ninjas, it is considered very impolite to rashly seek information from others.

"Warning: There's a trap 100 meters ahead. Avoid it..."

"There are quite a few Explosive Tag hidden about a kilometer ahead!"

"Two kilometers ahead..."

Soon--

Guided by Kurenai Yuhi.

Several figures kept dodging the traps.

They approached the cave where Zabuza, Raiga Kurosuki, and the others were silently.

"The target is right here!"

Hidden beneath a dense thicket of trees.

Kurenai Yuhi gazed at the cave ahead and whispered a reminder, "Everyone, get ready!"

Anko licked her lips, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and said to Kurenai Yuhi, "Kurenai, leave that Raiga Kurosuki to me!"

Combat experience and the like.

In reality, she has nothing to lack right now.

The rest of Konoha had no idea what kind of cruel trials she and Kurenai Yuhi had gone through.

Because Rikuto could directly use his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to copy countless battles, large and small, from the memories of Danzo and other Root members.

The battlefield was simulated using the Dōjutsu Tsukuyomi.

The strength, tactics, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu of those enemies were all replicated one by one.

With Rikuto's terrifying eye power amplifying his abilities, the Genjutsu world he created was so realistic that it was indistinguishable from reality.

She and Kurenai Yuhi experienced one perilous battle after another in the Tsukuyomi World, during which they faced life-or-death situations and were constantly in danger.

During this time, he also "died" more than once in battles that should have been evenly matched due to carelessness.

Although it may not lead to actual death, the psychological damage is very real.

If it weren't for Rikuto's mastery of Senjutsu- level Medical Ninjutsu...

He probably would have had a mental breakdown long ago.

But as a result, the two underwent an unprecedented transformation.

Both their perspective and combat experience have improved in an unimaginable way.

"Senior Anko..."

The colors of Uzuki Yugao and Hana Inuzuka change.

Raiga Kurosuki is a genuine S-rank missing-nin.

Wielding the Lightning Blade Kiba, he is extremely skilled in Lightning Release and his strength is definitely at the level of an elite Jonin.

Is it too risky for Anko to take on the opponent alone?

"Alright, I'll leave Anko Raiga Kurosuki. At the very least, you need to hold them off for now..."

But unlike the two of them.
