However, the woman was not surprised. With quick reflexes, she drew a Kunai and blocked the masked man's sword. Small sparks flew from the clash of the sword and Kunai.
Yet, the masked man skillfully delivered a hidden strike. As the woman tried to block the attack, the masked man suddenly kicked her hard in the stomach. The woman staggered backward in pain but struggled to hold her ground.
The masked man, not giving her a chance to recover, immediately aimed for a slash to her neck. However, strangely, the attack only tore her clothing instead of cutting her neck. The woman screamed loudly, and the masked man appeared frustrated and angry, as his strike failed again.
"Argh!" The woman cried out in pain and anger, but just as the masked man was about to strike again, two figures from the group in black clothing appeared with incredible speed from both the right and left.
The masked man quickly jumped back, avoiding their attacks. His eyes gleamed, slightly annoyed by the interruption, but he remained vigilant.
"Wow... You guys really can't dance, huh?" The masked man mocked, a faint smile appearing behind his mask. His words sounded like taunting, but there was a sense of satisfaction in his voice.
"Damn it! That man is too fast and agile! Even when our attacks hit his body, it turns into mist! This makes him incredibly difficult to defeat!" One of the men from the group shouted in frustration, trying to analyze the ongoing battle.
"You're right," another woman replied with a worried expression. "But we can't just stand here like this. What should we do?"
"Use all long-range attacks!" A man said, his expression grim, showing signs of desperation. "Even though the masked man can dodge, there's no way he can avoid everything!"
"But... what about his ability to turn his body into mist?" Another man asked, his face confused, unsure of how they could deal with the masked man.
"Didn't you see?!" The woman who had earlier attacked with Wind Ninjutsu spoke up loudly, trying to offer a solution. "He avoids our attacks, which means he can't constantly turn his body into mist. So, if we can attack when his body isn't mist, our attacks will be much more effective!"
All the members of the black-clad group fell silent for a moment, processing the woman's words. The plan made sense, and with renewed determination, they quickly devised a new strategy.
"Alright! Let's give it a try!" One of the men said with a renewed sense of enthusiasm. "We'll attack from a distance and keep an eye on every movement of that man! When he can't dodge, we'll strike with lethal force!"
The ten black-clad individuals agreed. They prepared, each beginning to ready their jutsu, preparing their upcoming attacks with great caution and calculation.
Then, in unison, they formed hand seals with incredible speed. One of them shouted loudly, "Doton no Jutsu: Ashi o Shibaru Tsuchi (Earth Jutsu: Binding Earth Feet)!"
The ground beneath the masked man's feet suddenly wriggled as if alive, wrapping tightly around his ankles. The masked man was momentarily startled, his eyes darting down sharply, realizing that the earth had solidified and trapped him.
Before the masked man could free himself, one of the enemies attacked again swiftly. "Suiton no Jutsu: Suiha Bakuhatsu (Water Jutsu: Water Wave Explosion)!" the man shouted.
A large ball of water formed in the air, slowly swirling as if gathering energy. The masked man immediately took action, drawing his sword and slashing at the earth that held him.
