The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

Uehara Osamu looked down at the lily of the valley.

"From this perspective, Linglan's disability and her brother's death were not accidents."

Soon, Kisame Hoshigaki arrived near Ao.

It wasn't that Kisame Hoshigaki found Ao, but rather that Ao, after seeing Kisame approaching with his Byakugan, took the initiative to go to meet him.

"Senior Qing."

"Kisame, you watch over the client's brother. I'll go take care of those people in the shadows."

"Teach me how to do it."

Kisame Hoshigaki arrived near Suzuran's brother.

But Linglan's brother did not notice anything unusual.

Instead, he kept checking the time while jogging, his face showing anxiety.

"Crack!"

A neck, snapped by Qing.

One, two, three

One by one, figures fell in Qing's hands. Finally, the group realized what was happening.

He pulled out his pistol, aimed it at Qing, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

However, Qing, who has a 360-degree field of vision, saw it very clearly.

He darted to the corner of the wall.

The bullet landed on the wall.

A dent appeared, and a large number of fragments flew out.

Qing's eyes flickered.

"What kind of ninja tool is this?"

"It's fast and powerful, and even more practical than some C-rank ninjutsu."

"It can be used at such a long distance."

"It's somewhat similar to a crossbow."

"But it's better than arrows and crossbows."

"Fortunately, the environment here is not suitable for the use of that ninja tool, as its attacks can only travel in a straight line."

Kisame Hoshigaki heard the gunshot and immediately looked over.

I took out my phone and awkwardly dialed the number.

"Jingle Bell!"

Shortly after, Qing got through.

"Senior Qing, do you need any help?"

"No need, I can handle it. Kisame, your mission is to protect the client's brother."

Uehara Shu stared intently at Suzuran's figure.

Suddenly, Linglan seemed unable to contain herself any longer and wanted to leave the venue to wait for her brother outside.

Swimming is something Lily of the Valley cares about a lot.

But what Suzuran really wanted to see was her brother see her win the championship.

However, this is something Uehara Osamu did not want to see.

According to the information Qingchuan brought back, Linglan's brother's death was clearly not an accident, but rather a deliberate act.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Suzuran will also be in danger when she arrives at the intersection.

Even if Uehara Shu manages to rescue Suzuran and her brother, he will most likely fail to complete the mission.

Uehara Shu had a thought and looked at the passage connecting the contestants' area to the outside world.

The figure flashed.

Uehara Shu's figure had already arrived below.

I picked up a small stone and flicked it with my finger.

"boom!"

The ceiling, along with the pipes above it, was broken.

Pieces of metal were scattered all over the ground.

There was also leaking water, which was very dirty.

The lily of the valley, which had already reached the entrance, was forced to retreat.

"However, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"They did manage to stop Suzuran, but with her mind elsewhere, it will be difficult for her to win the championship."

"Moreover, the mission is to let Suzuran see her brother watching her win the championship."

After glancing at the time, the young man in front of Kisame Hoshigaki quickened his pace again.

"Judging by the time, I should be able to make it."

Kisame Hoshigaki calculated the young man's speed and distance.

"As long as nothing unexpected happens on that side, it's fine."

Kisame Hoshigaki kept looking back as he chased after them.

Fearing that Qing might discover them, some of those people broke away from Qing and chased after her.

However, just as Kisame Hoshigaki was focusing his attention on what was behind him...

Traffic suddenly became chaotic at the intersection ahead.

A series of sharp braking sounds rang out.

The young man has only just taken one step.

A car came hurtling towards us at an extremely high speed.

It didn't seem like an accident, but rather like it was deliberately aimed at the young man.

The young man instinctively turned his head to look at the car, his body stiffening from the shock.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked the young man's path.

It was Kisame Hoshigaki who, realizing something was wrong, rushed over at full speed.

"boom!"

The car crashed into Kisame Hoshigaki.

The young man's figure was pushed back onto the sidewalk by Kisame Hoshigaki.

The next moment, Kisame Hoshigaki took flight.

Even for Kisame Hoshigaki, it wouldn't be easy to withstand such immense power.

It's not easy, but it's still bearable.

Unlike young people, they won't die from a single collision.

In mid-air, Kisame Hoshigaki adjusted his posture as much as possible to reduce the impact on his body, and only landed after gliding for more than ten meters.

The moment Kisame Hoshigaki landed, he looked at the young man.

"boom!"

A bullet was fired from a high place.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

At this point, Kisame Hoshigaki no longer cared about being noticed.

A water balloon enveloped the young man.

The Water Prison Technique is a type of binding ninjutsu.

However, it can also be used for defense in certain situations.

Moreover, it can control the young man's body shape and prevent him from running around.

"puff!"

The bullet's speed was greatly reduced upon entering the water.

The water in the Water Prison Technique is more effective at slowing down bullets than still water.

But, at this moment.

The young man inside the water dungeon suddenly twitched.

Kisame Hoshigaki paused for a moment, then quickly canceled the Water Prison Technique. He then carried the young man and swiftly slipped into a nearby alley. Only after confirming it was safe did he check on the young man's condition.

The next moment, Kisame Hoshigaki's face darkened.

He took out his phone and dialed Uehara Osamu's number.

"Xiu, I'm sorry, he's dead."

"died?"

“I’ve already helped him evade the attacks from both groups of attackers, but he was already poisoned before he arrived. I’m sorry, Xiu, it’s all my fault. I didn’t do a good job.”

Uehara Shu's pupils contracted.

When he saw that he could bring two thugs, Uehara realized that things were not so simple.

Ao saw the news of the attackers arrive, and Uehara Shu thought it was the key to the mission.
