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

Sarutobi Asuma withdrew from the battlefield and headed to the capital of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi's Sharingan was taken from him, and he returned to the village to treat his injuries.

Indeed, very few of Konoha's younger generation are capable of stepping forward.

That's why Kurenai Yuhi, a female ninja, was chosen to represent the group.

This is not sexist.

Indeed, in this era, there are not many top-tier female ninjas.

But even the sulphur-lit night managed to keep the situation afloat.

His genjutsu skills are far superior to those of other Uchiha clan members his age.

Moreover, illusion is a very special thing.

Once controlled by illusion, all that's needed next is a kunai to take a person's life.

This is a type of strong control method.

This is why genjutsu ninjas are so hated by their opponents.

One is that it is difficult to guard against.

Another point is that once you get infected, you will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

Kurenai Yuhi doesn't just use genjutsu one-on-one; she also coordinates with other Konoha ninja.

When multiple people work together, the efficiency of killing enemies is extremely high.

In Kirigakure, quite a few young ninjas have already fallen to Kurenai Yuhi's enemies.

Even Zabuza suffered a minor loss at the hands of Kurenai Yuhi.

Face to face, one-on-one, Zabuza is not afraid of Kurenai Yuhi.

However, Kurenai Yuhi was not acting alone.

Even Ringo Ameyuri, unable to get close to Kurenai Yuhi, couldn't pose much of a threat to her.

Smiling Qingjiang's ability only works when he is close to the target.

"Just a cunning speculator."

Ringo Ameyuri made this assessment of Kurenai Yuhi.

"Not a true strongman, far inferior to Kakashi."

Zabuza acknowledged Kakashi's strength.

In Kirigakure, Zabuza's goal is to surpass Kisame Hoshigaki.

In Konoha, Zabuza's goal is to defeat Kakashi.

Mitarashi Anko came with Orochimaru back then.

Orochimaru left, but Anko did not.

When Kurenai Yuhi arrived, the two became a kind of team.

The two have a good relationship, understand each other well, and can complement each other's abilities.

Just then, the two suddenly sensed that the atmosphere around them had changed.

"what happened?"

Kurenai quickly looked over.

Then they saw a figure slowly walk out from the opposite side and approach them.

"It's Kisame Hoshigaki!"

Even though Kisame Hoshigaki lost Kiriichimonji and was ridiculed and mocked by countless people.

However, when Kisame Hoshigaki actually appeared before these Konoha ninjas, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of dread, after all, he was once the number one among the younger generation.

Many Konoha ninjas still remember Kisame Hoshigaki's battle scenes.

Approaching at an extremely fast speed.

One hand and one word.

One-handed chakra absorption technique.

Once a single blow lands, the outcome is already decided.

None of the younger generation in Konoha are a match for Kisame Hoshigaki.

Even Kakashi Hatake, who possessed the Sharingan.

"Why is this guy showing up again?"

"Didn't they already return to Kirigakure?"

"Could it be that Kiriichimonji has been found?"

"Impossible. I haven't heard any news about the Taketori Neko being captured by Kirigakure."

The Konoha ninjas were abuzz with discussion.

Kurenai looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, her expression turning serious.

"The first among the younger generation."

"However, your abilities can only be fully utilized in close combat."

"Ringo Ameyuri can't do anything to me, and neither can you, Kisame Hoshigaki."

At this moment, Kurenai seemed to have forgotten that Ringo Ameyuri couldn't defeat her not in a one-on-one situation, but when she had other Konoha ninjas providing cover.

The former Kurenai Yuhi wasn't like this.

All I can say is that the praise from others and repeated victories can indeed change a person.

"You, the bandaged woman with red eyes over there, are you Kurenai Yuhi?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "???"

"Are all the ninjas from Kirigakure this uncivilized?"

The moment Zhanlong spoke, he almost broke Kurenai's defenses.

Kisame Hoshigaki: "

The sound of slaying the dragon continued to ring out.

"She looks pretty good, young man. Let's capture this bandaged woman together and offer her to the Blacksmith as a maid. The Blacksmith will surely be happy."

Hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi became even more furious.

Calling someone a "bandaged woman" is disrespectful.

She even said she wanted to capture me and make me her maid?

Master Forger?

The great blacksmith from Kirigakure?

Suddenly, Kurenai realized something.

That is, the Hidden Mist ninjas would never use the title "Master Blacksmith" to address the blacksmith, but would instead address him as "Master Blacksmith".

Looking back, Kurenai realized that Kisame Hoshigaki hadn't uttered a single word the entire time.

So, where did the sound come from?

Kurenai noticed that Kisame Hoshigaki's gaze was fixed on the ninja sword in her hand.

"This ninja sword is not Kiriichimonji."

"Kisame Hoshigaki's new ninja sword?"

Kisame Hoshigaki did not respond to Slayer, but instead gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Slay the dragon, please."

"Don't worry, kid, with me here, you can't lose!"

Hearing the conversation between the man and the sword, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly realized a possibility, and her eyes widened in shock.

"Could that person speaking be the ninja sword in Kisame Hoshigaki's hand?"

"How can a ninja sword talk?"

"That's outrageous."

The next moment, Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly closed the distance.

"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

A mass of water coalesced into the shape of a shark and rushed towards Kurenai.

Seeing this, Kurenai Yuhi flicked her wrist.

"call out!"

An explosive tag was thrown.

"boom!"

It collided with a shark in mid-air and exploded.

Countless water droplets fell.

Kurenai Yuhi is extremely skilled in illusion magic, but she is somewhat lacking in offensive capabilities.

Normally, Kurenai Yuhi would use illusion magic first, and if she could control the enemy, she would kill them directly; if she couldn't control them, she would try to restrain them.

Kurenai usually uses ninja tools as a means of restraint.

Shuriken, Kunai, Explosive Tags

As the only daughter of Kurenai Yuhi, Kurenai Yuhi will not lack resources.

Even during wartime, when resources were scarce in every ninja village, Kurenai Yuhi still didn't need to conserve her explosive tags.

This is also one of the most important reasons why Kurenai Yuhi was able to step forward and serve as a representative of the younger generation of Konoha ninjas after Kakashi left the battlefield.
