Chapter 298:  Assassination

Bang! Bang! Bang...

As soon as Yu finished speaking, the windows and the door of the room were all shattered, numerous dark figures flashed through the air, and even the walls around them revealed the silhouettes of black-clad ninjas.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of black-clad ninjas had appeared in the spacious room, surrounding Yu and his group tightly in the middle. It was evident that each ninja had undergone special training, and even the weapons they carried were of excellent quality.

"There are quite a few of them..."

However, despite being surrounded by dozens of ninjas in the room, with no space for retreat or evasion, Yu's calm gaze remained unchanged. "Although I don't know which ninja village you're from, does this assassination have any meaning? I really don't understand what those guys are thinking..."

Indeed, since leaving Konoha, Yu had encountered quite a few challenges and assassination attempts along the way, usually from two types of people.

One type is those obscure young ninjas who want to skyrocket their reputation by killing Scarlet Yu, hoping to make a name for themselves in the ninja world. After all, in the ninja world, sometimes having a bigger reputation can help you receive more missions and commissions, which is essential for ninjas to make a living.

The other type naturally sees Yu as a thorn in their side and wants to eliminate him as quickly as possible. After experiencing the Great Ninja War and a series of sensational events, Yu has few friends but plenty of enemies in the ninja world. The Wind, Lightning, Water, and Earth countries, including Konoha itself, likely have many people who want him to disappear from this world for good.

"So... so many ninjas!!"

Haku and Kimimaro are no strangers to this kind of situation, but the girl Karin standing beside them couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that the ninjas from Grass Ninja Village during the day are chasing us?!"

"It's not them..."

But Kimimaro, standing next to her, shook his head directly, holding a white bone blade in his hand and coldly surveying the dozens of ninjas surrounding them. "Grass Ninja wouldn't have the courage to track us all the way here, and these guys' skills and equipment are obviously much better than those Grass Ninjas"

"Yu-sama, it's a barrier..."

At the same time, on the other side, Haku also gently approached Yu and whispered softly.

"They've silently set up a barrier..."

"It seems these guys have been planning for quite some time..."

Hearing Haku's reminder, Yu glanced lightly and saw a layer of dark purple barrier outside the window. With Observation Haki sensing, the entire hotel had already fallen into the barrier seal set up in advance by these ninjas.

"Kill him!!"

After trapping Yu and the others in the narrow space, dozens of black-clad ninjas raised their sharp weapons and, without giving their opponents any chance to perform ninjutsu, directly launched a Body Flicker attack!

"It really is a ruthless assassination plan..."

Facing dozens of elite ninjas surrounding them in such a narrow space, and with three companions, Yu's gaze slightly narrowed. He gently activated Parasitic Threads with a finger curl. "But this isn't the place to dispose of bodies..."

Air Door!!

Just as Kaio opened the door to the alternate space, Yu and the three companions vanished from the room in an instant.

"Gone?!"

All weapons in hand fell empty as dozens of black-clad ninjas were left dumbfounded by Yu's sudden disappearance within the sealed space.

"After them!!"

Reacting swiftly, dozens of black-clad ninjas activated Body Flicker, transforming into shadows and disappearing directly within the sealed room.

...

"Really..."

"Can't even get some sleep without someone coming to disturb..."

At the same time, outside the town bordering the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass, on the deserted grassland, Yu's figure stepped out from Kaio's alternate space door and landed on the ground.

"Don't let me find out who's behind you..."

"Otherwise, I'll make sure they understand the meaning of regret..."

After leaving Haku, Kimimaro, and Karin in Kaio's alternate space, Yu landed alone on the grassland outside the town, his amber eyes shimmering with cold light under the moonlit night.

"Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind Jutsu!!"

As Yu muttered to himself, a burst of thunderous roar echoed, lightning flashed in the air, and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble. Four enormous stone pillars rose up out of nowhere, forming a barrier of lightning in between, intending to trap him within.

Swish, swish, swish...

At the same time, dozens of black-clad ninja figures swiftly darted across the grassland. Evidently, among them were ninja with Sensory abilities, as within a few breaths, they had traced Yu's presence and arrived here.

"Combining Lightning Release Ninjutsu with Earth Release barrier..."

"I think I've figured out who's behind you..."

Facing the rapidly rising Lightning Release barrier around him, Yu remained calm. He gently activated the Senjutsu Chakra within him, and a ferocious and eerie black lightning burst forth from his palm!

Sage Art: Chidori Sharp Spear!!

The Chidori Sharp Spear, powered by Senjutsu Chakra, surpassed the ordinary Lightning Release: Chidori Spear in terms of power, speed, and distance. A black lightning blade, extending over ten meters, swept through.

Its immense power directly shattered the surrounding lightning barrier, slicing through all four giant stone pillars nearby. About a dozen black-clad ninja, caught off guard, fell into a pool of blood.

"Black Lightning Release?!"

Seeing the black lightning blade emanating from Yu's hand, the remaining dozens of black-clad ninja seemed momentarily stunned. After all, in the entire ninja world, only two individuals from their village were known to wield Black Lightning Release.

Cloud-Style Crescent Moon Beheading!!

Surprised by Yu's violent attack, they didn't expect him to easily break their Lightning Release Ninjutsu, fused with Earth Release barrier, using brute force. Several nearby black-clad ninja didn't hesitate; they erupted with ferocious electric light and appeared around Yu, swinging their hands to unleash countless crescent-shaped sword slashes!

"Hidden Cloud's NinTaijutsu, huh..."

Reflected in his amber eyes were countless crescent-shaped sword slashes slicing through the air around him. Despite this, a scornful smile crossed Yu's lips. "It seems your Fourth Raikage..."

"...still can't swallow the fact that I killed his old man in the Great Ninja War and thwarted his plot to seize the Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan."

Sage Art: Chidori Current!!

Once he confirmed the enemy's identity, accompanied by Yu's words, were countless bird cries that sounded like lamentation and mourning!

With a sudden spread of his hands to both sides, Yu erupted with countless brilliant black lightning bolts, covering an area of nearly twenty meters. The terrifying power instantly shattered all the crescent sword slashes attacks coming his way, killing all the nearby black-clad ninja!
