Chapter 18: Crisis

Under the faint moonlight, figures swayed in all directions, and the occasional wind was mixed with a strong smell of blood.

At this moment, the Konoha camp was filled with noisy shouts and clinking sounds of sharp weapons, and occasionally there were explosions from two detonating tags.

Countless Kirigakure ninjas continued to attack the camp from all directions, and the casualties of the defending Konoha ninjas continued to increase, and they were forced to retreat continuously, including Liu Yu and his group.

In the southeast corner of the camp, Haiyi Class and some other Konoha ninjas were responsible for guarding here before receiving new orders. However, because the enemy had an absolute advantage in numbers, the Konoha ninjas had a hard time defending. In particular, Liu Yu and his three men were specially cared for by an elite jonin of the enemy.

"Humph!!!"

Looking at the alert Liu Yu and his three men, the scarred Kirigakure jonin snorted coldly.

Tap tap tap!!!

Footsteps continued to sound.

It was the scar-faced Mist Hidden Ninja who attacked again, but this time he obviously paid attention to his feet to prevent Liu Yu from tripping him again like just now.

This time Liu Yu did not try to use grass leaves to slow down the enemy's actions. Since the enemy was prepared, he should not waste chakra on useless things.

Looking at the Mist Hidden Ninja who was approaching at high speed, the three did not dare to neglect and retreated separately.

The scar-faced Mist Hidden Ninja took a look at the three people who separated, selected a target, and attacked Liu Yu. Seeing this, Liu Yu quickly formed seals with both hands while retreating.

-Xu-Yin-Si-Chou-Wei-Si-Hai-

"Bamboo escape, dragon tooth thorn"

Chi! ! !

On the way forward, the scar-faced Mist Hidden Ninja suddenly protruded from the ground, and the sharp bamboo tip pointed directly at the scar-faced heart. The scar-faced Mist Hidden Ninja could not dodge and directly hit it.

Bang! ! !

With the sound, a puff of smoke rose.

Looking closely again, the scarred face that was pierced by the sharp bamboo turned into a thick wood without knowing when.

"What a fast substitute technique." Liu Yu was amazed in his heart, but his real body didn't come to him, so where did it go?

"Asuma, be careful," Hong on one side reminded loudly at this time, and the whole person quickly stepped forward to support. Liu Yu on the other side also hurried to support after hearing Hong's reminder.

The scarred face Mist Hidden Ninja who was hiding in the surrounding tent suddenly jumped out, and the short blade in his hand pointed directly at Asuma.

Puff! ! !

It was the sound of the sharp blade breaking through flesh and blood.

Fortunately, after being reminded by Hong, Asuma evaded in time and avoided the vital parts, but Asuma's right arm was still cut with a very deep cut.

Bang! ! !

After finding that one attack failed to completely solve Asuma, the scarred face Mist Hidden Ninja kicked Asuma towards Liu Yu and the others who were running over.

Chi Chi Chi!

The force of this attack was so great that Asuma's body rubbed against the ground, making a hissing sound. Hong, who rushed over, hurried to stabilize Asuma, while Liu Yu looked at the scarred Mist Hidden Ninja with a playful look on his face.

"This guy is definitely one of the best among the Mist Hidden Ninjas."

Asuma was already a little weak because of the poisoning just now, and now he has suffered such a heavy blow, it seems that he has completely lost his fighting power.

"Hmph! The game is over." The scarred Mist Hidden Ninja put away his two short blades and said gloomily to the three people in front of him.

Chou-Shen-Mao-Zi-Zi-Zi-Hai-You, the scarred Mist Hidden Ninja's hands quickly flipped up and down, and one seal after another was formed.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique"

After the seal was completed, the scarred Mist Hidden Ninja took a deep breath and spit it out at the people in front of him.

A huge stream of water formed a giant dragon and rushed towards the three people.

"Trouble!" Liu Yu muttered, but his hands were forming seals at a very fast speed.

"Bamboo escape, Thousand Bamboo Shield"

After the seal was completed, Liu Yu slapped the ground at a very fast speed. As the ground continued to shake, hundreds of strong bamboos broke out of the ground in an instant, crisscrossing and weaving in front of Liu Yu and others.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The water dragon bullets kept hitting the Thousand Bamboo Shield summoned by Liu Yu, like a small boat in the wind and waves, which could be hit by the waves at any time.

"This amount of chakra, this kind of combat experience, this kind of response speed, it is obvious that he is an elite jonin of Kirigakure. What do you mean by not looking for Konoha jonin to start with, but bullying us juniors?"

Liu Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart as he listened to the sound of the water dragon bullets hitting the Thousand Bamboo Shield.

In the end, the divine water dragon bullets failed to break Liu Yu's Thousand Bamboo Shield, and the small boat in the huge waves finally ushered in the rain.

Trample! Trample! Step!

"Be careful, he's coming up again!"

Through the perception of bamboo escape, Liu Yu reminded the people around him.

On the other side, when the war began, Orochimaru rushed out of the conference room and rushed to the gate of the camp. However, before he walked out for long, he was blocked by an old man who appeared in front of him.

"Orochimaru, where do you want to go?" The old man opposite squinted at him and said. He didn't take Orochimaru, one of the so-called "legendary three ninjas" who had been famous for a long time, seriously.

Orochimaru looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him with a vigilant expression. The old man in front of him was wearing a gray robe, squinting his eyes and staring at him, with white hair and beard, and looked like a dying man who didn't know when he would step into the coffin.

However, Orochimaru did not look down upon the old man just because of his decayed look. If nothing else happens, the old man in front of him is the guy sent by Kirigakure to stop him this time. He still doesn't know what the opponent's abilities are, so it's better to be careful.

Orochimaru looked at the smiling old man in front of him, but he really couldn't remember who the old man in front of him was. Among the information obtained about important figures in Kirigakure, there was no information about the old man in front of him at all.

In fact, this is also caused by Kirigakure's severe external blockade. Except for foreign wars, the exchanges between the Kingdom of Water and other countries are basically zero. It has become very difficult for ninjas from other countries to obtain information about Kirigakure.

"The old man in front of me is very strong!" This was the conclusion Orochimaru came to after carefully looking at him. He felt a little uneasy about this old man. There was a terrifying power hidden under the old man's thin body. This powerful force The power is not like what a dying person can possess.

"Second order, everyone will retreat to the Fire Country in an orderly and alternate manner, with the medical team evacuating first, with Yamanaka Haiichi as the temporary commander." Orochimaru said to the elite jounin such as Haiichi who ran out of the conference room with him next to him. said.

Kirigakure on the opposite side now occupies an absolute advantage in combat power and numbers. The longer the fight continues, the greater the casualties on our side will be. All we can do now is to withdraw to the Country of Fire for follow-up.

As for yourself? Then let's stay for a while to see what's weird about this bad old man. Thinking of this, Orochimaru's narrow vertical eyes flashed with a hint of evil.

On the other side, the northeastern area of ​​the camp.

Under the dark night, a cold light flashed.

Poof! ! !

A Kodachi pierced the heart of a Kirigakure Jonin from behind.

"Okay! So fast."

The Kirigakure Jonin who was pierced through the heart said unconsciously in his heart.

At the same time, he wanted to turn around in pain and see clearly the face of the person who attacked him. Although he had already made some guesses, he still wanted to see what the devil everyone in Kirigakure said about him looked like. .

After turning around in pain, what caught the Kirigakure ninja's eyes were three pairs of magatama spinning rapidly in his scarlet pupils.

Poof!

Shisui took out the kodachi in his hand. The body of the Kirigakure ninja, which had lost its support, slowly fell to the ground. Blood slowly poured out from the wound, and the green leaves on the ground were also stained with a hint of scarlet.

After killing the Kirigakure ninja, Shisui did not immediately look for the next target, but looked warily at the four people who appeared not far away and did not know when.

Due to the angle of the position, the moon was behind the four people, and it was a little reflective for a while. Shisui couldn't see the appearance of the four people clearly. However, Shisui instinctively felt a hint of danger from the four people. It seemed that the four people in front of him were not ordinary people.

As the four people slowly approached, Shisui was finally able to see their faces clearly. When he saw that everyone was holding a 'knife' of different shapes, Zhisui couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, they actually sent out these people to deal with me.

Although he didn't know the people on the other side, looking at the weapons in their hands, Shisui also knew who Kirigakure had sent to deal with him this time.

"In order to deal with me, four of the seven ninja swordsmen of Kirigakure Village were dispatched at once. This is really a big deal!"

Looking at the four people approaching, Zhisui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"He is indeed the strongest man in Konoha Uchiha who is known as Shunshen Shisui. His courage alone is admirable," a big fat man in the lead said in admiration.

When Zhisui heard this, he only became more wary of the people in front of him.

"Let me introduce myself first. After all, it is very rude to fight against a strong person without knowing his name. I am the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The weapon I use is the Great Sword Samehada." The fat man led the way. He cracked a smile, but it was filled with a deep chill.

"Beheading sword, Loquat Juuzang." The first person on the left side of the puffer fish ghost in Xigua Mountain said calmly. This person had short hair, no eyebrows, and a set of sharp teeth.

"A dull knife can cut through the grass and bait people." said the second person to the left of the puffer fish ghost in Xigua Mountain. After finishing speaking, his eyes were staring straight at Shisui, with a strong and undisguised fighting spirit in his eyes.

Seeing that all three people had finished introducing themselves, Shisui turned his attention to the last person on the right of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon. The detailed information about Kirigakure's seven ninja swordsmen is also a very important piece of information.

"Thunder Fang, Black Hoe Thunder Fang" noticed Shisui's gaze, and the last person replied lightly. After speaking, he also stared at Shisui curiously, regarding the 'Konoha Demon' that the ninjas below called him. , he was still very interested.

"Trouble!" Zhisui couldn't help but muttered as the four people across from him focused their eyes on him.

Hand - move - divide - cut - line

PS: Water Release Water Dragon Bullet seems to be the ninjutsu with the most seals in the Naruto series, requiring a total of forty-four seals. They are: Chou-Shen-Mao-Zi-Hai-You-Chou-Wu-You-Zi-Yin-Xu-Yin-Si-Chou-Wei-Si-Hai-Wei-Zi-Ren-Shen-You-Chen -You-Chou-Wu-Wei-Yin-Si-Zi-Shen-Mao-Hai-Chen-Wei-Zi-Chou-Shen-You-Ren-Zi-Hai-You.

The second generation Hokage simplified the seals, and Itachi also simplified the seals when he read Kabuto's ninjutsu and used the water dragon bullet (but it cannot be ruled out that Itachi formed the seals too quickly).
