Chapter 68 Kazuhiko + Kakashi < 1
The setting sun, like blood, was gradually swallowed by the horizon.
In the thick, dense forest, only a dark, bluish-gray area remained.
That's enough for now.
"Intelligence indicates that a group of four, led by Kakashi, will be passing through here."
"Tianzang, let's begin."
Several mysterious figures, dressed entirely in black robes and wearing masks, turned around to look at their companions behind them.
"I see."
The black-robed man named Tianzang jumped down from the tree, formed a hand seal, and then pressed one hand to the ground, his eyes indifferent and unwavering.
"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique".
Rumble~
Rumble~
The next moment, the ground trembled, and a massive, thick tree rose from the ground, its gnarled branches intertwined.
The forest, already filled with towering giant trees, is now even more ancient and sprawling, instantly transforming into a closed, secluded natural prison.
"Very good. The dense forest can block our view and block out the wind, making it easier for us to make arrangements."
The light was completely swallowed up by the increasingly thick canopy of trees, creating a dark and gloomy atmosphere filled with ghostly shadows, as if every inch of shadow concealed a deadly intent.
"Prepare according to the established battle plan."
The men in black separated, concealed their presence, and disappeared into the darkness, waiting for their prey to enter the game.
Tianzang's body slowly sank into the tree trunk, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Danzo's orders were clear:
Using his Wood Release technique, he created a dense forest terrain for an ambush, deliberately creating a bloody scene to induce Tsunade's hemophobia, then killed the target and took the body back to the Root organization's secret base.
As for the other visitors, all that's needed is to collect Kakashi's three-tomoe Sharingan.
As for Uchiha Kazuhiko, he would need to be captured alive by sealing his chakra using a sealing technique.
Tianzang did not understand.
They were all ninjas from Konoha Village, one of whom was even one of the legendary Sannin, so why would they have such an absurd mission as assassinating a fellow villager?
……
In the dense forest, four figures were moving rapidly under the heavy canopy of trees.
Tsunade took the lead, her green robe fluttering in the wind, her face radiant, her brows furrowed with excitement and anticipation for her impending return home.
Kazuhiko and the others followed closely behind.
Kakashi and Kazuhiko walked side by side, their eyes scanning their surroundings, constantly alert to any movement around them.
This forest...
It's too dense, and too lifeless.
Kakashi had a vague feeling that something was wrong; he sensed an inexplicable chill emanating from the place.
He looked at the birds in front of him that were being startled by Tsunade, and hesitated for a moment.
It doesn't seem to be a problem if the woods are occasionally a bit dense.
"Am I just imagining things?"
His instincts as an ANBU ninja compelled him to offer a word of advice.
"This forest is quite dense, everyone be careful."
Tsunade remained unmoved by his words and continued to advance at a rapid pace.
What a joke! In the Land of Fire, would anyone dare to lay a hand on her, the legendary Sannin and Princess Tsunade?
Isn't this ridiculous?!
It's like an old man hanging himself – he's tired of living.
Kazuhiko listened to his advice very well.
Upon hearing this, he didn't stop walking, his chakra quietly flowing around him, ready to use Phantom Body Flicker at any moment.
He rarely goes out on missions and lacks field experience.
If you want to ensure your own safety, listening to Kakashi, the king of missions, is definitely the right thing to do.
"It's getting late, let's find an open space ahead to set up camp."
Kazuhiko offered his advice.
Tsunade would ignore Kakashi's words.
Shizune obeyed Tsunade's decision.
Therefore, in this four-person team, Kazuhiko is actually the second person in charge.
Tsunade glanced at Shizune, noticing her travel-worn appearance, and immediately made a decision:
"Alright."
Before she could finish speaking, [Deep Blue] gave a hint:
Suzuki's affection for you has increased.
Wang Defa?
Kazuhiko was a little confused. Who was this little boy named "Suzuki"?
I have absolutely no recollection of it.
He doesn't even have the surname Uchiha.
Before he could think, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
A barrage of kunai and shuriken burst forth from the shadows in all directions, their cold light flashing, but they did not aim for vital points, deliberately targeting non-critical areas such as Kazuhiko's shoulders and thighs.
Understood.
I understand everything now.
So the walls have ears!
"Watch out! There's an ambush!"
Kazuhiko and Kakashi reacted extremely quickly, instantly disappearing from their original positions.
Shizune, on the other hand, gathered chakra in her palm, creating a light blue chakra barrier in front of her.
The hidden weapons bounced off the barrier, but the woodland was too complex, and the attacks came from all directions, so there were always some that slipped through the net and broke through the defenses.
Several black-clad ninjas, no longer concealing themselves, emerged from the forest in black robes, their movements as elusive as ghosts. Some launched assassinations from behind, while others employed ninjutsu...
In an instant, a dazzling array of escape techniques pierced the darkness.
Kazuhiko and Kakashi exchanged a glance, simultaneously activated their Sharingan, and leaped forward, joining forces to rush towards the black-clad ninja.
The two used ninjutsu simultaneously to relieve Shizune's pressure.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Compared to Kazuhiko and Kakashi, the black-clad ninjas were clearly much more in sync.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"
When Kazuhiko and Kakashi used ninjutsu of the same level, their combined ninjutsu proved to be less than the sum of its parts, as their ninjutsu was completely suppressed by the black-clad ninja.
Seeing this, Kazuhiko decisively abandoned Kakashi, used Phantom Body Flicker to appear behind the black-clad ninjas who were attacking Shizune—
Mastery of the shuriken technique!
The shuriken struck, and the opponent vanished into thin air with a "bang," leaving only a wooden stake in its place.
Kazuhiko's eyes flashed with two tomoe, and in the next moment he locked onto his opponent, continuing his pursuit with a teleportation strike.
"What a fast teleportation technique!"
Kakashi, ignoring his surprise, drew his short sword and charged towards the man in black as well.
However, the opponents coordinated well, taking advantage of the dense forest terrain to constantly maneuver around the trees, and occasionally using traps to interfere and ambush them, employing a ruthless and cunning fighting style.
Before long, he was firmly restrained, his moves restricted by the trees, and he could only barely hold on, unable to spare any strength to help Tsunade.
Silent also quickly found itself in a tough battle.
She excels in medical and support roles, but direct confrontation is not her forte.
He was repeatedly harassed and attacked by two men in black with a barrage of ninjutsu, and could only defend and dodge with his chakra.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, her breathing became more and more rapid, and she was forced to retreat step by step, unable to take care of herself.
In the vast forest, Tsunade was suddenly left alone in the middle of the clearing.
Her expression darkened slightly as she looked at the giant tree in the forest ahead, and a surge of immense chakra suddenly erupted around her.
As one of the legendary Sannin, her superhuman strength is unparalleled in the ninja world. A single punch can shatter mountains and cause rocks to crumble, and ordinary Jonin are no match for her.
Tsunade clenched her fists and unleashed a furious punch!
With a loud "boom!"
The towering ancient tree split open with a crash, the broken branches falling with a thunderous roar, leaves swirling wildly, and shockwaves sweeping through the entire forest.
"You cowardly rats hiding in the shadows, come out and face your death!"
……
……
Finding an image that will pass the review is really difficult.
