Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 286 Madara Uchiha's Unparalleled Swordsmanship

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

After a moment's hesitation, the man in white stepped forward and said, "Lady Tsunade, let me lead a small team to investigate."

Tsunade remained silent, while the man in white continued, "The news of the entire team's annihilation is horrifying, but the fact that it leaked to us at least shows that the enemy's perception capabilities are not strong... Of course, it could also have been intentional."

This was a judgment he made based on experience.

Gang tapped his fingertips on the table, then looked at Xiaochun and Yan, and nodded to Baiyi: "We must not be careless."

"Yes." He slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

Tsunade then looked at Shizune: "Tell Sasuke about this and make him mentally prepared."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade." With that, she quickly left.

Xiaochun looked into the distance, frowned, and said, "Hopefully, this time it won't be an enemy we can't handle..."

She had a vague premonition that Akatsuki, who had been repeatedly defeated by Naruto, would probably reveal their trump cards this time.

……

Leaf Border.

Four people gathered at the entrance: Baiyi, Uzuki Yugao, Shiranui Genma, and Namiya Raido.

This is a small team temporarily assembled by people in white. There's no need to say more about Uzuki Yugao, and the other two have served as bodyguards for the Fourth and Fifth Hokage, so they won't be a hindrance in terms of combat strength.

They quickly made their way to the scene, keeping a low profile and minimizing any disturbances, as instructed by the person in white.

beep, beep...

As the four walked through the woods, Xi Yan said in a deep voice, "Captain, wasn't the operation just now too dangerous for you?"

He had just explained to the three men that he would go first and inspect the scene alone, while the three of them would stay behind and decide how to proceed based on the specific situation.

If they encounter an insurmountable force, the three should immediately retreat back to Konoha and report to the Hokage.

The man in white glanced at her and said indifferently, "Obey orders."

"……Yes."

The four continued to accelerate, and as they were about to reach their destination, the man in white raised his hand, and the other three immediately waited behind him.

"Follow the plan."

The man in white ran forward without looking back and secretly hid an illusion talisman in his palm.

We left the forest.

Upon seeing the Chunin corpses lying on the ground, the man in white frowned, noticing the knife marks on their bodies.

Very clean and without any extra marks.

"A seasoned assassin," the man in white thought to himself, instantly making a judgment, his muscles tensing slightly.

rustling...

As he entered the doorway, he placed the explosive tags near the entrance and gently pushed the door open.

"crunch-"

The man in white peeked inside and saw what was happening there.

The furnishings inside remained almost unchanged; if it weren't for the faint smell of rust emanating from within, he wouldn't have even suspected anything was wrong.

The next moment, he stepped into the room on his toes, lightly touching the ground, and then looked around.

It seems that no extra traces were left.

"It seems the enemy has moved elsewhere..."

The man in white murmured softly as he looked around, when he suddenly heard a very faint cough coming from deep within the room.

He felt a chill run down his spine and rushed to the room where the call for help had come from. Inside, he found a Chunin lying on the ground, clutching his chest, staring at the doorway with a pained expression.

He didn't go in immediately, but instead scanned the area around the door. After confirming that everything was in order, he pushed the door open and immediately took out a makeshift medical kit to try to stop the bleeding.

The white-clad figure gently lifted his upper body, and the chunin suddenly opened his mouth, seemingly using all his strength.

"cough……"

"What do you want to say?" The man in white approached his mouth, and the latter coughed again before slowly uttering a few words:
"Quick...run..."

The white-clad man's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment, he saw a steel wire connected to the Chunin's back. One end of the wire was embedded in his back, and the other end was connected to a mechanism at the end of the room!
"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

Almost instantly, a massive explosion engulfed the entire room!

The powerful blast shattered all the windows in the house, scattering all the furniture into pieces. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky, sweeping across the surrounding area.

Uzuki Yugao's heart clenched instantly, her anxiety burning, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Captain...!"

However, she could not act rashly; her orders were to make a judgment based on the subsequent situation.

It's still unclear whether the enemy has left or stayed.

With a senbon needle clenched between his teeth, Genma Shiranui's brows furrowed as he reached into his ninja tool pouch, poised to strike.

Raido Namikaze, whose left cheek was scarred, pulled out a black katana, his usual weapon.

The three of them were focused almost entirely on what was in front of them when, just as the black flames soared into the sky, a figure quietly appeared behind them.

"Ding!!"

The next moment, Xuanjian and Leitong turned around abruptly and found that the long sword on Xiyan's back was clashing with the long saber of the person behind her!
The blades clashed repeatedly, sparking faint embers. The man in front of Xiyan commented casually, "Not bad."

Madara and Obito had clearly anticipated the tracking team's actions. They had set up an explosive device inside the house using the survivors, all in preparation for an opportunity.

Xi Yan was horrified and said, "I remember you are... How is this possible?!" *Whoosh!*

Before she could finish speaking, Genma spat out the senbon from his mouth. The man in front of them easily dodged it, then used his body weight to suppress Yugao, and slid the blade toward Raito to the side.

Lei Tong drew his poisoned katana, caught the man's blow, and then used the momentum to perform a backflip, leaping onto a tree trunk behind him and looking down at the three people below.

Madara Uchiha never used any ninjutsu from beginning to end.

"Is this all the Anbu in Konoha is capable of now?" Madara shook his head, his expression one of disappointment, causing Uzuki Yugao, who was in the middle, to grit her teeth.

Suddenly, she summoned shadow clones, which attacked Madara from multiple directions simultaneously.

"Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Dance of the Three Suns and Moons!"

This is Moonlight Gale's signature move. When activated, the user's posture is graceful, and the attack trajectory forms a crescent shape, hence it is also known as "Crescent Moon Dance".

But Ban had a different opinion: "Not beautiful at all."

"Shhh!!"

In a split second, he teleported to Yugao's true form and shattered her two shadow clones with a single strike! Genma completed the hand seals and shouted, "Ninja Art: Thousand Rains!"

These senbon needles locked onto Madara's various positions, but the latter merely curled the corners of his mouth slightly, unleashing several consecutive slashes that forced Yugao to retreat step by step, and in doing so, he deflected most of the senbon needles away.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

As Xi Yan retreated to a position close to the tree trunk, she suddenly heard a loud shout behind her: "Take this!"

Xi Yan ducked down, and Lei Tong, wielding his katana, leaped over her and slashed at the man in front of him!
Suddenly, Lei Tong heard a "snap" sound next to his ear.

He felt his mind suddenly become hazy, and he inwardly cried out, "Illusion..."

"boom!!"

Ban kicked him away, and Lei Tong's body slammed into Xi Yan. The two of them flew backward and crashed into the thick tree trunk behind them, breaking it.

"Ugh!" A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Lei Tong's mouth.

Genma drew his kunai and charged forward to prevent Madara from finishing him off, but was once again overwhelmed by Madara's swordsmanship.

"Shhh!!"

After shattering the kunai with a single slash, Madara followed up by slashing at Genma, whose upper body instantly revealed a gaping, bloody maw!
"Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Oborozuki Yoru!"

Madara turned his head and saw Yugao, who had recovered, wielding her long sword in mid-air, creating a crescent-shaped afterimage with the blade, before rushing towards him!

“Too slow, too slow!”

Like a ferocious tiger, he charged towards Yugao and, before she could even create an afterimage, slashed her katana in half. Yugao was startled and threw a punch at him, but it was caught under his armpit and twisted sharply.

"Crack!"

"Ahhh!!" Xi Yan almost fainted from the pain. Ban had broken her hand, causing her limbs to be in a horrifying arc.

"boom!"

The next moment, he grabbed Xi Yan by the neck. The latter stretched out her unbroken hand, struggling weakly, and then coughed as she spoke:
"Why...your knife...?"

Xiyan wanted to ask, how could Madara shatter their weapons with a single strike, especially since the sword in his hand clearly looked like it had been picked up from the hands of a dead Konoha Chunin?

Madara Uchiha looked at her, offering no explanation, only shaking his head dismissively:

“It’s so ugly…”

He didn't even bother to answer the question.

The point is not the knife itself, but who is using it.

Madara used a samurai sword he found, just like Yugao and the others. These swords were all made in Konoha, and their quality was actually quite similar.

Therefore, assuming similar quality, the key factors are the angle of the cut, the amount of force applied, and the target area, etc.

Even slight deviations in angle and force can allow the blade in Madara's hand to exert a crushing effect.

Essentially, it's still a gap in experience, a chasm-like gap in experience.

Madara activated his Sharingan, and Yugao lost consciousness in a daze.

He began to slowly probe into the memories of the group.

……

the other side.

"Cough cough..."

In the ruins, a huge rock was suddenly pushed aside by a hand; it was the person in white who had used the surrounding environment to escape unscathed.

However, his situation was not good, because he was attacked at close range and head-on, and his front was still affected by the explosion.

There were large areas of burns on the surface; the internal organs were churning and slightly displaced; several ribs were broken by the explosion; and there was a rupture in the right eardrum.

"Om-"

The ringing in his ears lingered around him. He patted his head, trying to process what had just happened.

"The enemy... the enemy's traps were very sophisticated, combined with the wounds on the dead... combined with..."

Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he pulled out a kunai and stabbed it behind his back!
His kunai, along with his hand, pierced through the face of the masked man behind him. Then, the man in white suddenly retreated, pulled out a syringe, and injected it into his thigh.

"puff--"

His vision cleared instantly; the reagent acted like a serum, restoring his body significantly.

Having spent years in the shadows, he may not have much else, but he certainly has a considerable amount of supplies on him.

But this is not a miracle drug that can bring the dead back to life. It works more like morphine, which can make people forget the pain and improve their condition in a short period of time.

However, once the time comes, the physical condition will deteriorate rapidly, and may even be worse than before.
