"What took you so long?"

Yuhi Kurenai, sitting listlessly in the cave, no longer had the energy to whittle branches or tend the fire.

Outside, the rain was gradually stopping.

Hinata was probably bathing, but Uchiha Kage, who had gone out earlier, showed no signs of returning.

"Shino, can your insects scout the surrounding area now?"

The rain had stopped, and the sky outside, though still dark, had become slightly brighter than before.

In this environment, Shino's insects should be able to be of some use.

"Yes."

Without Kurenai needing to say more, Shino had already dispatched his flying insects after the rain stopped.

But—

"Teacher, outside..."

*Buzz...* Another small insect flew in from outside the cave and landed on Shino's finger.

"Teacher, this is bad! There are unidentified ninja approaching us outside!"

"What?"

Of all times...

Had the Kirigakure's pursuit squad arrived?

Kurenai walked to the cave entrance and looked up at the sky.

The rain had stopped, and the moon, shrouded in dark clouds, was gradually emerging from the mist.

But the brighter it became outside, the more anxious Kurenai felt.

"Which direction are Hinata and Kage in?"

"That... I didn't send insects to follow them earlier. It will take some time to find them."

Detecting the two suddenly approaching ninja was already the limit. Shino, who had been traveling all day, couldn't spare any more energy.

"I'll go outside to notify Kage and Hinata."

Suspected enemy ninja approaching?

Could Hinata and Kage already be in danger?

Thinking this, Kurenai couldn't sit still any longer.

"Shino, hide here. If the enemies come, use the traps to deal with them first, but remember to conceal yourself no matter what!"

As for Shino, as long as he focused on hiding and used the traps set up near the cave... he should be fine.

"Yes!"

Shino recalled his flying insects, and together with Kurenai, they extinguished the fire in the cave and disappeared into the night.

----

"This heavy rain will surely make them lower their guard."

The sibling duo, unaware that their movements had been detected by Konoha Ninja, were quietly waiting for the rain to stop in a mountain hollow.

"When do we move out, Sis?"

The male ninja, carrying a Ninja Sword on his back, couldn't help but yawn.

They had been waiting in place for a long time.

"Now is the time. When people are at their sleepiest."

*Flutter...*

A lark, flapping its wings, flew from the forest and swooped back to the Female Ninja's outstretched arm.

Through the information transmitted by the ninja bird, the Female Ninja had also grasped the movements of the Konoha Ninja.

"Good!"

The male ninja, who had long been unable to restrain himself, charged ahead.

"They must have set up traps around here. When that happens..."

"Leave it to me, Sis! Don't worry!"

The male ninja took out the Ninja Sword on his back.

"Traps don't work on me. I'll show them what Hot Blood is!"

"Don't be too reckless. The other side also has a Jonin."

The Konoha side consisted of one Jonin and three Genin, while they sibling duo were a Jonin and a Chunin.

The combat power of the Genin could be ignored.

So, no matter what, they were two against one, and their advantage was still great. As long as there were no accidents, they could take down the opponents quickly.

"Wait, that Jonin seems to have left the cave alone. Perfect. You deal with those Genin, and I'll deal with her!"

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the Female Ninja, with her excellent eyesight, quickly noticed the Konoha Ninja running into the forest from the cave.

*A Konoha Jonin who specializes in Illusionary Technique, huh?*

*You're unlucky to meet me.*

The Female Ninja smiled coldly and followed the other ninja into the forest.

----

"Judging from the traces left behind, Hinata should have gone that way..."

Looks like I'll have to teach Hinata how to cover her tracks properly after today.

Even though they're both Genin, Kage's footprints and traces are very well concealed.

Even with the rain washing away the traces, Kurenai, with her Jonin's eyes and senses, couldn't find any traces left behind by Uchiha Kage after he left.

Aside from possibly lacking experience, Kage already possessed the qualities of a Jonin, not to mention a Chunin.

"He's just like Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha... Itachi back in the day."

Shaking her head, Kurenai put aside her thoughts and looked in the direction Hinata might be.

The possibility of Kage being in danger should be small. I should go to Hinata's side...

"Hmm? What's that noise? Someone is fighting in the forest?"

It's Kage!

Kurenai quickly sensed Uchiha Kage's Chakra, as well as another ninja's...

*So strong, this level of Chakra.*

No longer choosing Hinata, Kurenai rushed without hesitation to the forest where Uchiha Kage was likely to be.

But—

"The person... suddenly disappeared?"

Looking at the various messy traces in the forest and on the grass, Kurenai could confirm that there had been a great battle here not long ago.

But how could...

She could clearly hear the sounds just now, so how could they disappear so quickly?

Could the battle already be over?

*Kage...*

That's impossible. Did Kage lose?

But if Kage didn't lose, how could she not find him here...

Thinking this, Kurenai became flustered.

Who is the enemy? Someone even Kage couldn't defeat?

What exactly is this mission...?

"Is this the quality of a Konoha Jonin?"

Just as Kurenai was desperately searching for traces of Uchiha Kage in the forest, a cold and disdainful female voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Accompanying the voice was a short blade, thrusting like a buzzing bee.

Lightning Release: Flying Blade Sparrow Walk!

The short sword, wrapped in Lightning Release and Lightning Release Chakra, pierced towards Kurenai's lower back like lightning under the moonlight.

"You are..."

Relying on her body's instinct, Kurenai barely managed to dodge, avoiding her vitals.

But she was still cut on her side by the short sword that had ambushed her.

"Not even knowing when an enemy is approaching, and I thought you were a strong opponent, how uncool."

*Buzz buzz.*

Reapplying Lightning Release Chakra to her Ninja Sword, the Female Ninja who had ambushed Kurenai still had that cold and disdainful expression.

*Drip...* The blood dripping from the tip of the blade made the Female Ninja even more deadly.

"You are... a Kumogakure Ninja!?"

The moonlight gradually pierced through the clouds.

Coupled with the lightning wrapped around the short blade, Kurenai finally saw the face of the person who had come.

And the Kumogakure symbol on her waist.

Could she have defeated Kage?

No, that's impossible. Her speed and the way she concealed her presence were good, but those alone couldn't defeat Kage.

Kurenai endured the pain in her side and took out a Kunai from her Ninja Tool Pouch.

"Why are Kumogakure Ninja here?"

Shouldn't it be the Kirigakure Pursuit Squad?

Looking at the delicate face, skin as white as frost under the moonlight, and a figure even more voluptuous than her own, the Konoha Ninja frowned slightly.

She had no idea that Kumogakure Ninja were also targeting them.

"Not even knowing this, it seems your skills aren't the only thing lacking, your intelligence gathering is also subpar."

Continuing to mock the Konoha Female Jonin in front of her, the Kumogakure Ninja holding the short sword didn't hide her intentions and directly stated her purpose.

"A month ago, you and your Genin disciples captured my subordinates, have you forgotten?"

"A month ago..."

So it was that matter.

Because her attention was completely occupied by the Uchiha Itachi incident, Kurenai didn't really pay attention to the Kumogakure Genin they had captured and brought back to the Village.

"Are they still alive?"

Still a cold tone, but faintly containing a hint of killing intent.

"Probably. Konoha doesn't have the habit of killing prisoners."

Knowing the reason why the other party had come, Kurenai gradually regained her composure.

However, the disappearance of Uchiha Kage still made her anxious.

"That's good, then you can live too."

Her tone slightly softened, the voluptuous Kumogakure Female Ninja declared the fate of these Konoha Ninja as if she had victory within her grasp.

"I'm asking you, have you seen a Uchiha boy around here?"

Ignoring the Kumogakure Ninja's arrogant attitude, Kurenai asked the question she was most concerned about.

"Uchiha?"

Upon hearing this name, the Female Ninja's tone suddenly became even colder than before.

"You can live, but the Uchiha must die!"

"Why?"

*It seems like this person doesn't know where Kage is.*

From the information given by the other party's reaction, Kurenai felt slightly relieved in her heart.

But where exactly did Kage go?

"There's no why!"

As Killer Bee's Disciple, the Female Ninja clearly remembered the fact that her Teacher's arm had been cut off by an Uchiha Ninja.

This also led her to have a considerable animosity towards Uchiha Ninja.

"I will never let my Disciple die before me!"

No matter what, she had to defeat the Female Ninja from Kumogakure in front of her.

With such deep hostility towards the Uchiha, she absolutely couldn't let her go.

Kurenai gritted her teeth and actively charged towards the other party with a Kunai.

----

"Is it around here?"

After glancing at her Older sister who was chasing after the Konoha Female Jonin, Atsui, who was also a Kumogakure Ninja, arrived near the Cave.

But there was no one in the Cave.

Only the dark Cave seemed to be tempting people to be foolish and fall for a trick.

"Hmph, a trap?"

Atsui pulled out his Ninja Sword from behind.

Cloud-Style Swordsmanship: Cloud Stream Fire Flame Slash!

Pouring Fire Release Chakra into his Ninja Sword, Atsui disregarded any traps and directly swung his Ninja Sword towards all suspicious areas.

*Boom!*

With each swing of his sword, a terrifying flame shot out.

These flame-filled slashes quickly spread throughout all areas around the Cave.

Even the land that had just been rained on couldn't stop the formation of this sea of fire.

"A Ninja with Fire Release Affinity?"

*Damn it, my insect traps can't withstand fire.*

Shino, hiding in a certain patch of grass, couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy as he watched the heat getting closer and closer.

*Boom...*

Even the Exploding Tag traps they had set up at the beginning were triggered by the opponent's Flame Slash attack and detonated ahead of time.

"Kumogakure Ninja?"

Helpless, Shino, who was almost caught in this sea of fire formed by flames, could only reveal himself from the grass.

And with the help of the firelight, he also clearly saw the origin of the Ninja in front of him.

"Only one Genin? Where are your companions?"

Looking at the Konoha Village Ninja who had been forced out by his flames, and the surrounding mess.

Atsui raised his chin triumphantly.

"I alone am enough to deal with you."

Shino would definitely not answer the other party's question.

Moreover, after discovering that the other party was also alone, he didn't plan to continue hiding.

The Teacher said that this mission is his Chunin Exams.

I can't escape. Besides...

With the Hidden Mist Technique that Kage gave me, I also want to know what level my current strength is at.

Thinking this, Shino decisively waved his hand, and released swarms of insects from his sleeves towards the other party.

"A Ninja who plays with bugs? You're from the Konoha Aburame Clan, right?"

Holding his Ninja Sword in front of him, Atsui looked at the large mass of insects in front of him and quickly recognized the other party's origins.

"But a mere Genin actually dares to deal with me alone, you think too highly of yourself!"

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

After quickly forming hand seals, Atsui spat out a long, snake-shaped flame from his mouth towards the swarm of insects in front of him.

In an instant, the sound of insects screeching and being roasted filled the air.

As the flames exploded, most of Shino's insects were burned to ashes and fell to the ground.

"How un-Hot Blood."

After easily dealing with the opponent's insects, Atsui directly closed in.

A Ninja of this level couldn't even warm him up.

I should finish this quickly and go help my Older sister.

Cloud Stream Fire Flame Slash!

Without holding back, Atsui used a flame-infused slash to directly cut the Ninja in front of him in half.

But to his disappointment, the Ninja he had struck was just an Insect Clone.

"How disgusting."

Seeing that his Ninja Sword was covered with the Insect Clone's insects, Atsui quickly burned the insects on it again with flames.

Then he quickly waved the blade, shaking off the corpses of these insects.

"My insects..."

Taking the opportunity to hide in another place, Shino frowned even more deeply as he watched his insects being completely countered by the opponent's Fire Release.

Why did he have to encounter a Fire Release type Ninja?

"Come out, I've found you!"

*Boom!*

The mound of dirt where Shino was hiding was quickly struck again with a flame-infused slash.

Reluctantly, he could only jump away again, and barely blocked the opponent's pursuing footsteps with the remaining insects.

This guy's sensory abilities and observation skills are not weak...

Definitely a strong enemy.

"It seems I have to use that move."

Boar-Snake-Sheep.

Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!

Seeing the Kumogakure Ninja solve his insect swarm in a few moves, Shino had no choice but to directly use this Ninjutsu that could create dense fog and hide his body within it.

"What? How can a Konoha Ninja..."

Isn't this the Hidden Mist Technique of Kirigakure?

The sky after the rain was full of water vapor.

This environment was too easy to form water mist.

Watching the sea of fire he had created being swallowed by the suddenly emerging dense fog, extinguishing the firelight, Atsui finally put aside his carelessness and became fully vigilant.

----

"This is your space?"

Kisame, who was unable to resist, was sucked by Uchiha Kage into a strange space.

Here, Kisame was surprised to see the same scenery as the Ninja World, as well as a small Ninja Village full of peaceful atmosphere.

"Zabuza!?"

He even saw Momochi Zabuza, who was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist like himself.

"Weren't you killed by Konoha Ninja in the Land of Waves...?"

But at this moment, Zabuza didn't pay attention to this former "colleague", but stood aside, waiting for the Uchiha boy's orders like a servant.

"This is my Space, what do you think?"

Uchiha Kage didn't directly kill Kisame. On a whim, he decided to see if he could trick this Ninja, who had been fooled by Obito, back to his side.

After all, compared to the completely illusory Infinite Tsukuyomi world, this place was much more real and much more ideal.

"You, your Space?"

Kisame's face was full of shock.

But he quickly remembered the other party's Mangekyo Sharingan.

It was said that after the Uchiha clan awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, they would gain very special Eye Technique.

It seems the rumors are true.

"Then what... is going on with them?"

Kisame was very confused about the existence of Zabuza and the others.

"I revived their Souls and let them live here again."

Uchiha Kage had Zabuza help introduce the small Village he had temporarily created in the Dream Space on a whim.

"Revived?"

Kisame looked at Zabuza, whose way of speaking, personality, and even memories were similar to when he was alive, and couldn't help but believe Uchiha Kage's words.

"Of course, this kind of revival is also limited, so now they can only live in my Space, and cannot return to the real Ninja World."

Uchiha Kage didn't plan to hide the limitations here.

"What... is your purpose?"

Kisame was attracted by this Village, the scenery in the distance, and even the Konoha Village-like walls in the far distance.

Is this Uchiha boy's Space-Time Ninjutsu?

But it's too big, too real, it's almost like another... real world.

"Don't you think it's very peaceful here?"

Uchiha Kage pointed to the scene where the Kumogakure Ninja and Rogue Ninja, who had been revived earlier, were peacefully getting along in the Village.

"You mean?"

Recalling the question that the other party had asked him before he brought him here, asking him "Is the world you yearn for like this".

Kisame suddenly realized what this Uchiha boy wanted to do.

However, how did this guy know about the 'world' that he and Madara were planning?

That's too incredible. As far as he knew, Madara had never shown the existence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi to anyone other than him.

"Infinite Tsukiyomi is just a fleeting illusion, but here, it's an eternal paradise."

Uchiha Kage waved his hand, and flew into the sky of this Space with Kisame.

Using a bird's-eye view to let the other party more clearly understand the vastness of this Dream Space.

"To achieve this Paradise, I also need manpower."

"So you don't plan to kill me?"

Kisame wasn't too surprised by Uchiha Kage's recruitment.

"However, I really want to know, who exactly are you? Are you a Konoha Ninja, or..."

He possessed so much information, but he was so young. Kisame really couldn't understand what this boy's identity could be.

"What my identity is isn't important, what's important is whether you choose me, or that unreliable one-eyed dragon."

Kisame's strength wasn't the best, but as long as he didn't encounter a Body Art-type Ninja who completely countered his abilities, he could become more and more courageous in battle.

Of course, what was more important was this guy's style of doing things.

He was indeed a rare good subordinate.

This was also the reason why Uchiha Kage chose to give him a chance for the time being.

"This is really... an unexpected situation."

The pressure is a bit great.

If he said he needed to consider it here, his head would probably be cut off by the other party without hesitation in the next second.

Looking at the Uchiha boy in front of him who had a indifferent expression but was full of confidence, Kisame quickly understood his current situation.

"However, if I were to join you, I can't bear the wrath of Uchiha Madara..."

"Uchiha Madara is long dead. The one-eyed dragon who controls the Fourth Mizukage is just an ordinary Uchiha Little Kid, you don't have to mistake him for Uchiha Madara."

"An ordinary Uchiha Little Kid wouldn't have..."

*Mangekyo Sharingan, huh.*

Kisame silently complained in his heart.

But is that Masked Man really not Uchiha Madara?

"That guy is Hatake Kakashi's classmate, Uchiha Obito, you'll understand this as long as you have the intention to investigate the information from back then."

"That Copy Ninja's..."

Hmm!? Did this boy just say one-eyed dragon?

Thinking of Hatake Kakashi's Sharingan.

Kisame immediately realized that what Uchiha Kage had just said was very likely to be true.

"This is so interesting."

Not only because knowing the Identity of the Masked Man was interesting, but also...

What exactly this Uchiha Kage was, this also made Kisame even more curious.

This guy seems to know everything, including his abilities, and even his Ninjutsu...

"Then what do you want someone like me to do?"

"Help me investigate Zetsu's information."

"Zetsu?"

The image of a strange creature that always pops out of the ground like aloe vera quickly appeared in Kisame's mind.

That Masked Man did call the other party Zetsu.

Could it be that this creature is more important than the Masked Man or even the people in the Akatsuki Organization?

"Especially the black one, as for the others, you can handle it yourself. In normal times, you can continue to lurk in the Akatsuki, I won't order you to do anything extra."

Actually, Black Zetsu seems to be my... son?

No, this kind of asexual creature can't be called a son.

I should take him back as soon as possible and bring him back to Kaguya to be a servant who washes clothes and folds blankets.

"Okay, but I have one last question."

The world that Uchiha Kage showed him was indeed much better than the ethereal Illusionary Technique like the Infinite Tsukiyomi.

But the question is, is this really not an Illusionary Technique?

Kisame was quite worried that everything he was seeing now was just an empty Illusionary Technique created by this Uchiha boy with his Mangekyo Sharingan.

----

"Still a little short... just a little bit more to complete it."

The waterfall relentlessly washed over the steep rock wall.

It also heavily washed over the tender yet strong body of the girl standing at the bottom of the waterfall.

*Ha!*

Glaring with her Byakugan, the naked girl continued to swing her Gentle Fist in the waterfall.

The Chakra surrounding her fingertips drove the surrounding water flow, dancing and leaping around her body like a transparent ribbon.

Under the moonlight, the girl's elastic skin bounced every drop of water that splashed onto her body like jade, then it was captured by her Byakugan, which was highly focused, and finally shattered drop by drop by her delicate fingertips.

"Failed again..."

The water droplets slid from her fingertips into the water.

The panting Hinata instantly stopped her movements.

She failed at this step again.

She's clearly already tried very hard, why...?

No, I can't give up yet!

In order not to be a burden to Kage-san anymore, I must learn this move!

The thought of feeling discouraged was thrown aside by Hinata as soon as it appeared in her mind.

For the sake of the beliefs in her heart and the goal she wanted to protect, Hinata continued to swing her sweat under the waterfall.

"Now!"

Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Concentrating and holding her breath, Hinata's firm eyes regarded all the water droplets splashing around her as targets, and at the same time, she used her Gentle Fist to strike these tiny water droplets with extreme speed, as if the picture was frozen.

"Hmm? The Teacher is here? And... not good! The Teacher is fighting someone!"

Just as Hinata was about to complete the final step of the Sixty-Four Palms, her Byakugan suddenly captured the two Female Ninja who had already moved from the forest to near her.

Without time to wipe her wet body, Hinata quickly jumped out of the waterfall and picked up the clothes she had placed under the stone.

Then she hurriedly ran towards the place where the commotion came from.

----

"Can Lightning Release Thrust actually cut through Kunai?"

Looking at the Kunai in her hand that had its tip broken off after several clashes, Kurenai's expression changed slightly.

The enemy was much stronger than she had imagined.

She wouldn't be able to win no matter what in Body Art.

If that guy was nearby right now, he would definitely mock her, this Teacher, for being weak, right?

Damn it, where did Kage go!

Throwing out a string of Shuriken, she took the opportunity to replace the broken Kunai in her hand with a new one, and Kurenai clashed with the Female Ninja in front of her again.

"Using short swords as weapons, and proficient in Lightning Release..."

More importantly, her figure... she was actually a blonde bombshell similar to Lady Tsunade.

Kurenai had roughly recognized the other party's identity.

"You are Kumogakure's Elite Jonin, the aloof Skylark, Samui."

"Oh? Even know my name, it seems your intelligence abilities aren't that bad."

*Ding ding ding...*

Samui blocked the incoming Shuriken with ease.

After the probing Body Art, it was almost time to bring out her real skills to decide the outcome.

Increasing the current on her short sword, Samui slightly arched her body, planning to leave another wound on the Konoha Female Ninja in front of her.

Cloud-Style Swordsmanship: Flying Blade Lightning Pierce!

Using Lightning Release to stimulate her body, Samui's rushing figure quickly came to Kurenai's side like a phantom.

But the body that the short sword pierced was a Clone without substance.

"Clone Technique?"

"No, it's an Illusionary Technique Clone!"

"What..."

Just then, Samui was surprised to find that the Clone that had been pierced by her short blade suddenly exploded, and then the smoke from the Clone turned into countless vines that tightly wrapped around her body.

For a moment, she couldn't move at all.

"It's over."

Kurenai's real body appeared behind Samui, and had already activated the Illusionary Technique she was best at.

Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Entrapment!

Using an Illusionary Technique Clone as bait to lure the opponent to attack, then controlling the opponent's actions.

Then, taking the opportunity to activate her one-hit kill Illusionary Technique.

This was Kurenai's secret technique combination to become a Jonin, and one of her most skilled tactics.

Looking at the Kumogakure Female Ninja who was completely bound by her Illusionary Technique, Kurenai ruthlessly stabbed the Kunai towards the other party's neck.

*Hmph, if you want to kill my Disciple, I can only kill you!*

*Puff!*

Blood splattered everywhere.

But what was pierced was not Samui's neck skin, but Kurenai's abdomen.

"You..."

Kurenai looked at the short sword with blue Lightning Release Chakra inserted into her body, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Sorry, I implanted a Lightning Release Ninjutsu in my body that could stimulate me to wake up, your Illusionary Technique doesn't work on me."

*Buzz buzz.*

As she spoke, blue electricity was still emitting from Samui's body.

At the same time, she also showed a bit of pain.

If it was a complete Lightning Release Armor, Samui would not only not be hurt by her own Lightning Release, but she would also be able to perfectly resist the other party's Illusionary Technique without implanting the technique in advance.

But now, the one who was more seriously injured was of course Kurenai, whose body had been stabbed by the short sword.

*Swish!*

In order to avoid aggravating her injuries, Kurenai forced the other party back with a Kunai, and also successfully created distance between them.

"..."

As expected of a Kumogakure Jonin, although she had been ambushed and injured before, but this time she was directly hit by the other party.

Kurenai's expression couldn't help but become even more ugly.

Damn it, why does she always encounter Ninja who can break her Illusionary Technique!

In addition to the Pain coming from her body, Kurenai was now even more annoyed by the fact that she might be defeated again.

Kage already looked down on her, and if she lost to this Female Ninja again, then she would be forever...

Dying here was not scary, what was scary was that she couldn't change her Disciple's view of her, this Teacher, before she died.

Thinking this, Kurenai's eyes were full of unyielding anger.

Absolutely not, absolutely not going to die pathetically!

Also, even if she died, she had to kill this guy who hated the Uchiha!

"Being able to show such eyes despite suffering such serious injuries... I acknowledge you, you're also very cool."

Looking at the Female Ninja who not only didn't fall down, but also had her momentum rise because of her injuries.

Looking at her wine-red eyes full of fighting spirit, Samui couldn't help but admire her.

"But, you definitely can't win me today."

Enduring the electrical current that was scurrying around in her body, Samui once again swung her short sword.

Cloud-Style Swordsmanship: Flying Instant Slash!

Illusion Technique: Mirage!

Knowing that her speed was impossible to match the other party's, Kurenai directly created several Illusionary Technique Clones around her body.

No matter what approached these Illusionary Technique Clones, they would explode, and then inject her Illusionary Technique Chakra into the other party's body again.

"What a troublesome guy..."

Although she used the method of stimulating her body with Lightning Release to temporarily resist the other party's Illusionary Technique, Samui could only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack in the face of so many Illusionary Technique Clones.

"However, you'll soon run out of Chakra using so many Illusionary Technique Clones, right?"

The advantage of Kumogakure Lightning Release Ninja was their fast speed, they could attack and retreat.

Even if they didn't attack, they could exhaust the other side to death.

"You're right."

Her body was still constantly oozing blood, but Kurenai's mind was extremely calm at this moment.

"But this technique is also the basis for me to activate the next technique."

Illusion Technique: Three Severance Cherry Blossoms!

As soon as Kurenai's voice fell, the Illusionary Technique Clones she had created earlier suddenly turned into a sky full of scarlet petals around her.

And under each petal was Kurenai's figure launching a surprise attack.

"Another Illusionary Technique!?"

She had clearly stimulated her body to wake up her consciousness, but Samui still saw the sky full of petals.

"Illusionary Technique is a combination of reality and illusion."

Of course the petals would still exist.

Because they were all transformed from Clones, they weren't completely illusory.

----

!!!

However, just as Kurenai was hiding her figure with the petals, preparing to ambush the Kumogakure Ninja who was still stunned in place from a blind spot, a shrill scream suddenly came from the quiet night sky not far away.

This is... Shino's voice!?

Hearing this loud commotion, Kurenai, who had been worried about all her Disciples, hesitated for a moment.

And because of this brief pause, Samui only paid the price of a wounded arm to escape from Kurenai's sure-kill attack.

"It's over, it seems that Atsui's side is progressing smoothly, and your Disciples should have all been taken care of."

Looking at the Konoha Female Ninja in front of her who was almost exhausted and seriously injured, Samui coldly announced the victory of this battle.

She really couldn't distinguish the Illusionary Technique that combined reality and illusion just now, and she almost suffered serious injuries.

But now...

"You have no meaning in fighting anymore, and you can't hurt me again in this state, surrender."

Samui, who originally planned to use prisoners to exchange prisoners, didn't even think about killing the Female Ninja in front of her.

"No, not yet... absolutely not..."

Supporting her tottering body to stand up from the ground, Kurenai didn't know what the situation was on Shino's side, but she would never give up.

"Even if I only have Body Art, I... will never lose! Unless I die!"

And Kage, as long as Kage was fine, she would never surrender!

"What a stubborn guy."

Looking at the Female Ninja who picked up the Kunai again and planned to fight her to the death, Samui had no choice but to meet her.

*Ding!*

Samui's blade unsurprisingly knocked away the Kunai in Kurenai's hand.

"Since you want to die, then I'll fulfill your wish."

Seeing this situation, Samui knew that she couldn't capture the other party, so she no longer held back and continued to use her most skilled Lightning Blade Thrust.

"Is this the end..."

Damn it, I should have given that guy one last lap pillow before.

Looking at the blue blade close at hand, Kurenai closed her eyes as if resigning herself to fate.

But, she really didn't expect that at this last moment of her life, what she was thinking about was still...

"Let go of the Teacher!"

Desperately throwing a few Kunai forward, Hinata, who had rushed to the Battlefield breathlessly, finally saved her Teacher at the last moment.

"Oh? It's actually the Head Family's Byakugan?"

Turning around and using the blade to block the incoming Kunai, Samui looked at the Byakugan girl who rushed over under the moonlight with some surprise.

No wonder those Genin Disciples of hers couldn't help but attack these Konoha Ninja before.

The Byakugan had an extremely large effect on their Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Art training, and on the threat to the Lightning Release Armor.

"Hinata, why are you here?"

Because of her serious injuries, Kurenai couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

But looking at the Female Disciple who rushed over to check her body, she barely stood up, not letting the other party have too many concerns when facing a strong enemy.

"Where is Kage now?"

Uchiha Kage wasn't with Hinata either?

Could he really have been defeated and taken away by some mysterious Ninja?

"I don't know either, but Teacher, your body..."

This was the first time Hinata had seen her Teacher suffer such serious injuries.

Why was the Teacher bleeding so much...

"I'm fine."

Casually taking out a bandage from her Ninja Tool Pouch and tying up the bleeding wound.

Kurenai, who stood up, didn't show the slightest trace of being seriously injured on her face.

Although the best thing to do now was to let Hinata go find Kage to help, the Kumogakure Female Ninja's speed was too fast, Hinata couldn't possibly outrun the other party.

In addition to the Byakugan on Hinata's body, even if she tried her best to stop it, the other party would most likely list Hinata as the first target.

The situation was really terrible.

"Hinata, the Teacher will desperately create opportunities for you later, whether you can seize it or not depends on you."

Now that things had come to this, it was useless to reprimand her Disciple for whether she should have come here or not, Kurenai could only make one last desperate bet.

Whether it was for Hinata, or for a certain guy who was still nowhere to be found...
