MSIN: Chapter 170

---

In terms of cost-effectiveness, taijutsu is undoubtedly a very practical fighting style.

Precision, efficiency, and lethality are the hallmarks of advanced taijutsu. For any ninja, facing a true taijutsu master one-on-one is a very difficult task. And a ninja who can skillfully use taijutsu on the level of a mature Might Guy, like the Eight Inner Gates, is almost invincible in a one-on-one fight.

Compared to various ninjutsu, taijutsu is generally more low-key and simple. Without special effects, the visual effect is limited.

But this doesn't mean that taijutsu doesn't have any appeal. In fact, taijutsu is very appealing.

Among the large number of Kirigakure ninjas, the White Night Demon was spinning and jumping. He… cough…

In the eyes of the Konoha ninjas, Haori charged into the enemy formation alone. He either hid among the enemy crowd or leaped into their line of sight. Whether he was launching deadly or disabling attacks on the enemy, or launching ineffective attacks that were completely defended, he almost always retreated after a single strike, sticking to the enemy and then leaving. Not to mention engaging in a prolonged fight, he basically wouldn't even give them a second strike.

He was constantly making linear movements, never stopping for a moment at any location.

Haori was like a fish darting through a school of fish, constantly disrupting the enemy's deployment and preventing them from launching area-of-effect ninjutsu.

Because wherever Haori was, there were bound to be Kirigakure ninjas, and more than one.

If they used a big move in this situation, it wouldn't just be Haori who died. More importantly, with this guy's… sharp movement, they were afraid that they wouldn't even be able to hit him with a big move. That would be the same as just using a move to kill their own people.

Not dying at the hands of the enemy, but being targeted by your own people… Did they consider the feelings of their fallen comrades?

And it wasn't just Haori who was beating up Kirigakure ninjas. Shisui of the Body Flicker, who had charged in before him, was inflicting just as much, if not more, damage than Haori.

Up to this point, Haori had never transformed into a Raichu. He was suspected of being lazy here, while Shisui was truly working hard, as evidenced by the occasional Great Fireball Jutsu he unleashed.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu has always been the biggest calling card of the Fire Fan Uchiha clan, besides the Sharingan. Considering the Sharingan's activation rate, it could also be called the most common representative jutsu of the Uchiha clan.

As an Uchiha, you can be without the Sharingan, but you can't be without the Great Fireball.

And this C-rank Fire Release, the effect is clearly different when used by different people. As for Shisui's, it should be called Fire Release: True Great Fireball Jutsu.

Compared to Haori, Shisui's range of activity wasn't as large. Thanks to his naturally high-configuration, high-speed, high-definition dual-lens camera, he was clearly stronger in terms of his defensive abilities… His perception was truly unmatched.

Moreover, once he was surrounded, his three-tomoe crimson eyes, with just a glance, would have an amazing immobilizing effect. After releasing an instant genjutsu, no matter what kind of attack the enemy wanted to launch, they would immediately stop and wait for Shisui to come and slit their throats… If necessary, he could even control the enemy and make them slit their own throats.

Whether those eyes were cursed or not, they were certainly convenient.

Because of this, the Uchiha were incredibly powerful. And because of this, they appeared on many people's capture lists.

There were many people who wanted to put this thing on their life menu. And there were those who were willing to carry out a capture operation and succeeded.

Haori saw that the Konoha ninjas who had charged in didn't immediately launch an attack but were instead standing there dumbfounded. He instantly felt like swearing.

What are you staring at? Get on with it.

He didn't know that they were admiring the dashing figures of the White Yaksha or White Night Demon and Shisui of the Body Flicker and were preparing to sing a stirring and inspiring song to liven things up

Even if he had known, Haori would still have wanted to swear.

Damn it, he wasn't even wearing red here, so what was there to look at? Get over here and kill and destroy!

Fortunately, as Konoha ninjas, they still had their professional ethics and professional skills. They wouldn't betray their own people. They only stared blankly for a moment, and then they launched their attacks on the enemy.

Seeing that his comrades hadn't gone stupid, Haori finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the main force had arrived, he planned to quietly retreat to the main camp and change from a frontal assault to a hunting style… For him, taking advantage of opportunities and launching sneak attacks was easier and more efficient.

But when he was about to leave, things weren't so simple.

Show off and then leave? There's no such good thing in the world.

"Get out of the way. I'll deal with this guy!"

High-energy reaction detected! And the target is throwing a salted fish at you!

There was a faint disturbance in the air behind him, and he heard a whistling sound. Just from that, Haori could tell that a heavy weapon was coming from behind!

His body quickly moved to the side. Haori was like a ghost. He dodged the attack, then hooked his right middle finger and pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch on his leg. Then, he casually slit the neck of an enemy beside him.

After completing this series of actions, there was a "boom," the sound of something hitting the ground.

Only then did Haori turn around and see who was behind him.

From the bottom up, first, the cracked ground.

Then, a heavy, huge sword wrapped in white bandages, its tip embedded in the ground.

And the hand holding the sword.

The owner of the arm was a red-haired, muscular man who looked a lot like Jiraiya's summoning beast.

"…"

Haori thought he probably knew who this guy was. He had seen him in a handbook, and he had even peeked at him from afar.

Coincidentally, he also knew who Haori was.

"White mask and hair, carrying an iron gourd on your back… You're one of the duo who killed Zabuza Momochi, right? The Konoha ninja who almost seriously injured Yagura with special methods… It's you, right?"

Seriously injured? If he had been hit by that attack, unless he had the physical strength of the Raikage, he would have exploded, right? Okay, that's called seriously injured. After all, he wouldn't be able to fight anymore.

Haori wasn't surprised that the other guy recognized him. The information should have been exposed. His eyes stared at the long sword, Samehada, and he said in a calm tone, "Long Sword Samehada… The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kisame Hoshigaki?"

He could wield such a heavy weapon with one arm. This guy didn't look simple.

Haori didn't know much about Samehada. He didn't know that it was a living salted fish. The other guy's strength was worth noting, but it didn't mean he had to retreat.

If he was surrounded by multiple members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Haori would probably turn around and leave. But one-on-one? Whether he could kill him or not, he had to try.

A friendly reminder to Kisame Hoshigaki: you can still run away now. Everyone said that the White Night Demon was going to chop things up like vegetables.

So, the question is, are watermelons a fruit or a vegetable?
