This appearance...
Lin Ke instantly thought of a very famous character from the original work:
Yuhi Kurenai.
It was actually her, but where were the pursuers? Shouldn't they be—
"Swish, swish, swish." Lin Ke abruptly looked towards the swaying bushes in the distance.
Nara Yan Shui gripped a Kunai, and said, "Be alert." Before his voice faded, he shot the Kunai in his hand.
"Dud, dud, dud." Three at once, forming a triangle as they pierced through the bushes, causing leaves to rustle and fall, the sound of the Kunai deeply embedded in the tree trunk echoed.
The confrontation began from this moment.
Someone had definitely followed, but their ability to conceal their presence was strong, disappearing from their original location in an instant and hiding.
Nara Yan Shui wasn't anxious, standing calmly in front of his companion, holding a Kunai in one hand, cautiously observing the surroundings.
Lin Ke, after forming hand seals and releasing a Clone Jutsu, stood in front of the female ninja who resembled Yuhi Kurenai. As time passed, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, an indescribable pressure weighing down on him, making his breathing slightly rapid.
Is this killing intent? He gritted his teeth. In a real battle, there would never be a scene where the opponent stood at a distance, allowing you to form hand seals and release ninjutsu. Ambush, sneak attacks, and assassinations were the way of the ninja.
Should he form hand seals to summon a substitute now? If the opponent didn't appear, would it be a waste of Chakra? The duration of the Clone Jutsu was dwindling...
If they dragged this out, wouldn't they have a better chance of winning if the female ninja recovered her strength and joined the battle? But why was the opponent also stalling? "Chirp!"
An umbrella suddenly shot out from the bushes in the distance, its target not the three of them, but the air. Immediately afterwards, the umbrella opened in mid-air, and countless tiny Senbon rained down, covering the ground as they spun.
Ninja Art: Rain of a Thousand Needles
Nara Yan Shui reacted extremely quickly, forming hand seals with one hand, and taking a deep breath—
"Whoosh~" A gust of wind swept through, the Senbon clattering as they collided and were blown away into the distance, along with several trees that snapped and broke.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
"Swish!" As he released the ninjutsu to blow away the Senbon, a figure emerged from underground, a Kunai with a strange glow in its hand stabbing into his thigh.
Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Lin Ke was about to step forward to help when he saw Nara Yan Shui turn into mist with a bang, followed by another pop as the attacker also turned into a puddle of water.
Shadow Clone, Water Clone...
Even though it was just for a moment, he could still see clearly that the attacker's Forehead Protector had four vertical lines representing rain, and they were also wearing a breathing mask, clearly a ninja from the Rain Hidden Village.
Being able to fight with Nara Yan Shui, without a doubt, the opponent was also a Jonin-level expert.
The battle between two Jonin wasn't flashy, there were no fancy ninjutsu. After testing each other with a few simple ninjutsu, they engaged in taijutsu at a speed that he could barely see. At the same time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the battlefield between the two gradually moved away.
The full power of a Jonin... such terrifying speed and strength.
Lin Ke sighed, then gathered all his thoughts and focused on being vigilant. The gradual departure of the two Jonin must mean there was a problem.
Nara Yan Shui's purpose was easy to guess, to stall until the female ninja recovered her strength. Whether they fought or fled, the mission would be completed. But the Rain Hidden Village Jonin—
"Whoosh!" The sound of something cutting through the air rang out from the right rear.
Lin Ke didn't panic. When the enemy actually attacked him, he became very calm. His body didn't move much, he simply turned his head, as if he wanted to see the opponent clearly even if it meant sacrificing his life.
"Bang!" His body was directly kicked away, scattering in the air, but his head remained in place.
The attacker was also a Rain Hidden Village ninja. Judging by his build, he should be an adult. The moment he kicked Lin Ke away, he was about to drive the three poisoned Senbon in his hand into the female ninja's head when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the kid's head remaining in place. His mind suddenly glitched, and he instinctively disrupted his Chakra to try to break free from the Genjutsu.
"Bang!"
The Clone Jutsu dispelled, and Lin Ke, taking advantage of the opponent's chaotic Chakra that prevented him from making an effective counterattack or escape, naturally drew out a Kunai and stabbed it over.
"Pfft!"
At the last moment, the opponent raised his arm to block the Kunai. As blood splattered, he stepped on the ground, about to flee, when his consciousness suddenly began to blur. A pair of scarlet eyes appeared before him, growing larger and larger, until he stood there, his head drooping, without any movement.
The female ninja stood up, used a Kunai to cut off the opponent's head, pulled out a scroll, spread it open, placed the head on it, pressed down with both hands, and sealed the head.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, blood flowing, the stench of blood spreading.
"Not bad," the female ninja praised gently.
Lin Ke kept his small face tense, glanced at the Rain Hidden Village ninja who had died without a complete corpse, then looked up at the female ninja who had just chopped off the head and sealed it up as if nothing had happened. He patted the footprint on his back, and once again made a hand seal and released the Clone Jutsu.
This woman probably regained her ability to move just now, or she wasn't so tired that she couldn't move at all. She was completely confusing her opponent... Adults, no, adult ninjas are really too dirty.
He didn't impulsively make a hand seal and release the Substitution Jutsu immediately to help his instructor. With his strength, it would be too unwise to rashly get involved in the battle of Jonin.
Willing to drag the battlefield to a distance proved that Nara Yan Shui had enough confidence to defeat his opponent.
"Don't worry about Yan Shui," the female ninja sounded much more relaxed, as if coaxing a child.
Before long, Nara Yan Shui appeared in front of the two with a whoosh, and nodded, "Let's go." As for the opponent—
Most likely dead.
Don't look at Nara Yan Shui not having much fame in the ninja world, but the Konoha Village Jonin is a golden signboard.
To be precise, the Jonin of the five major ninja villages are the real Jonin. The Jonin level of small countries and small ninja villages is relatively low. After all, as mentioned earlier, Jonin is just a title. Small ninja villages have a shortage of talents, and the so-called 'Jonin' selected from the short ones are probably at the level of a Special Jonin or elite Chunin in the five major ninja villages.
Maybe they are very specialized in certain areas.
What's more, Nara's secret techniques are also very famous. It's not a problem to solve a Rain Hidden Village Jonin in a short time. Not directly using the Shadow Sewing Jutsu to kill the opponent instantly was simply to preserve physical strength and hide information.
If the opponent was not a Rain Hidden Village ninja extremely skilled in assassination, but changed to a Grass Hidden Village or some other small ninja village, the battle would probably end faster.
The three returned, and it could be seen that the female ninja really didn't have much physical strength left. The speed was not very fast, but it was enough to keep up with Lin Ke, who was the most likely to hold them back.
After returning to Tanzaku Street, Nara Yan Shui's always calm expression showed a smile, and he touched Lin Ke's head, saying, "Good job, take a good rest."
After saying that, he disappeared with the female ninja in a Body Flicker Technique.
