Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 97 The Three Ninja Swordsmen VS Menma
On the battlefield shrouded in thick fog, Suigetsu Hozuki, Juzo Biwa, and Mangetsu Hozuki launched a sudden attack using a silent assassination technique, their three ninja swords, imbued with killing intent, thrusting straight at their target!
However, when the three ninja swords got within ten centimeters of their target, they encountered tremendous resistance, as if an invisible iron wall was protecting the target, preventing them from advancing even an inch further!
"What's going on?" Watermelon Pufferfish Demon's small eyes suddenly shrank.

Hozuki Mangetsu reacted extremely quickly, making a gun shape with his left hand and aiming at the mysterious man's mask.

"Water Release: Water Iron Cannon Technique!"

shhhhh--

Three water bullets shot through the air, heading towards the opposite side like bullets.

boom! boom! boom!
Three water marbles still couldn't get close to the mysterious person; they were blocked at a distance of about ten centimeters, and water droplets splashed everywhere!

“It’s a barrier!” Hozuki Mangetsu analyzed.

The three who had failed in their attack quickly retreated and disappeared into the mist, forming a triangular formation around Menma, each wielding a ninja sword.

“A guy I’ve never seen before, ninjutsu I’ve never seen before.” Pipa Juzo slung his guillotine over his shoulder, the red stripe on his chin and the cross-shaped scar on his right cheek adding to his mystery and fierceness.

"Be careful, this guy is a demon." Suigetsu Hozuki gripped Samehada tightly, his voice low.

They were just cleaning up the battlefield when they suddenly received orders from the Mizukage to pursue a mysterious person who was causing trouble inside Kirigakure.

They had discovered something unusual here and were investigating when the mysterious person arrived.

So the three of them set up a fog concealment technique, hiding themselves in the thick fog, looking for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack!

All three of them were top-tier ninjas among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, yet their surprise attack was easily thwarted by the enemy.

After seeing the enemy's mask, Suigetsu Fuguki, the captain of the Hidden Mist Army, realized that the person they were trying to kill was none other than Shura, the mysterious ninja who had attacked Konoha and Kumogakure last year!
"Tsk tsk, this is getting a bit troublesome." Juzo Biwa sensed something was amiss.

Since the first generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were kicked into the "Lucky Three" by Might Dai who opened the Eight Gates during the Third Shinobi World War, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have never been able to reunite.

The enemy before him was a mysterious and powerful figure who had wreaked havoc in Konoha and Kumogakure and then left unscathed, forcing Juzo Biwa to be cautious.

After all, that genin from Konoha had left a very deep impression on him.

"Shura?" Hozuki Mangetsu, hailed as a genius child demon, felt his fighting spirit boiling over at this mysterious enemy.

Beneath Menma's white three-eyed fox mask, his Sharingan activated, piercing through the thick fog and revealing the three people hidden within it.

The Sharingan's dynamic capture and the Byakugan's X-ray vision are both excellent counters to the Hidden Mist Technique of the Hidden Mist Village, causing them considerable trouble during the previous Shinobi World Wars.

"How many of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have arrived?" Menma flicked his right hand, sending several kunai seemingly casually piercing into the thick fog to scout the situation.

It seems that Orochimaru must have sensed these guys before he hurriedly ran away.

Taking advantage of the Kaguya clan's rebellion, various ninja clans sent ninjas to participate in the suppression. Orochimaru stole many children with bloodline limits from various ninja clans in the Hidden Mist Village.

Menma looked down on these ordinary bloodline limits, and he couldn't find Hozuki Suigetsu of the Hozuki clan either, so he only asked Orochimaru to share the research results.

In exchange, Menma will help Orochimaru evacuate the children from the Land of Water.

I just didn't expect the pursuers to arrive so quickly.

It's likely that Obito was controlling the pursuers sent by Yagura.

He sensed through Kagura's Mind's Eye and found that there were only three people: Suigetsu Hozuki, Hibiki Juzo, and Hozuki Mangetsu.

The three Ninja Swordsmen who were currently available had all been dispatched by Yagura Karatachi. 'Does Obito really think these few guys can stop me?' Menma pondered as the second wave of their attack began.

Suigetsu Hozuki was the first to unleash the Needle-Headed Thousand Needles technique. His thick, orange hair stood on end as he fired countless fine needles at Shura, seemingly trying to find the enemy's weakness through a covering attack.

Pipa Juzo, wielding his guillotine, closed in and engaged in direct combat.

Taking advantage of the gap in the two teammates holding off the enemy, Hozuki Mangetsu also moved quickly, looking for an opportunity.

Dang Dang Dang——

Menma, holding a kunai, caught the guillotine that Juzo Biwa swung at him, while simultaneously forming a hand seal with one hand.

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

A surge of fire-attribute chakra condensed beneath his mask, then flames erupted, forming a wall of fire that suddenly hurtled towards the direction where Suigetsu Hobutsuki was hiding. At the same time, the massive wall of fire also blocked countless needle-headed senbon needles in the air.

The blazing wall of fire rapidly evaporated the surrounding moisture, and wherever the fire passed, the thick fog dissipated!

"Now!" Amidst the rising mist, Hozuki Mangetsu, having found his opportunity, concentrated his chakra into the blades of his twin swords, Hiramekarei, and suddenly attacked from the side and rear.

The Twin Blades, Hiramekarei, were joined together horizontally. The two holes at the back spewed out streams of chakra, pushing the Hiramekarei forward, while the two holes at the front also spewed out a large number of chakra orbs!
"Flounder liberation!"

boom!
Hozuki Mangetsu wielded his twin swords Hiramekarei, striking Shura with one side carrying a ball of chakra light, just like swinging a tennis racket!
boom!
However, the expected scene of Shura being blasted away did not occur, because Shura, who was hit by the chakra ball, suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated!
Hozuki Mangetsu's purple pupils turned serious. This was just a shadow clone of the enemy!

"Watch out!" Hozuki Mangetsu warned.

squeak-

Before the warning had even finished, a cacophony of birdsong suddenly came from behind Pipa Juzo!

Pipa Juzo felt a chill run down his spine. Without thinking, he held his ninja sword horizontally behind him!
But it was too late!
His right hand, imbued with lightning chakra, pierced through Juzo Biwa's heart!
"What?!" He stared in shock and resentment at the hand that pierced his chest and the dark purple lightning chakra before slowly collapsing to the ground.

The decapitation sword also crashed to the ground.

Menma kicked the Executioner's Blade into the air with his right foot, caught it with his left hand, and slung it over his shoulder. The Lightning Release ninjutsu in his right hand was still emitting a hissing sound, and a pool of blood flowed on the ground.

"Damn it!" Suigetsu Hozuki teleported to Hozuki Mangetsu's side, looking at Biwa Juzo lying at Shura's feet in horror.

"Such speed!" Hozuki Mangetsu was shocked by the speed at which the opponent cast the spell.

"Is it the Body Flicker Technique? No... it's more like a space-time ninjutsu..." Hozuki Mangetsu was shocked by the opponent's strength when he saw that the opponent had easily killed Biwa Juzo and obtained the Executioner's Blade with just a few simple exchanges.

Suigetsu Hobutsuki slowly tore off the strips of cloth wrapped around his greatsword Samehada, his face grave.

The strength of the opponent reminded him of the Konoha genin he had encountered a few years ago.

That guy in the green bodysuit with thick eyebrows, despite possessing such terrifying strength, is only a genin!
If they hadn't scattered and fled for their lives, they probably would have been kicked to death one by one by the other!

This event became a lasting fear in the hearts of the survivors.

"Is that Samehada?" Menma suddenly wanted to see how much chakra this guy could consume, as he watched Suigetsu Hozuki smack his lips at Samehada.
