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

"The more you talk, the stronger you become!"

"There is a place for me among the strongest ninjas in the world."

"Saying those things was a bit embarrassing, but the improvement in my abilities was genuine!"

"Others would be dying to have it!"

Qing has completely given up on resisting it and has succumbed to the "it's actually good" phenomenon.

The Hidden Mist ninjas excitedly gave chase.

"Lord Qing's strength is truly formidable now. He defeated Sarutobi Butsuma in no time. I'm afraid he's already on par with Lord Fuguki and the other two. Those flames are incredibly powerful."

"The main reason is that the Zanpakuto is powerful."

"The Evil King Flame Killing Sword sounds very imposing."

"I just don't know why Senior Qing always mutters something to himself before making a move."

"What blazing sacred flame? I am invincible among men!"

"I never expected Senior Qing to have such a personality."

"Perhaps I wasn't strong enough before, so I hid my true nature. Now I can finally unleash it boldly."

The Hidden Mist ninjas speculated about this.

Qing heard these remarks and wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

Exposing the "hidden" ability of the Evil King Flame Killing Sword would not bring any benefits.

If your reputation is "bad," then so be it.

Qing doesn't care that much anymore.

Because of this, the Konoha ninja hated Ao even more.

"He snatched the Byakugan, killed Lord Butsuma, and taunted him all the while."

"This is too much!"

"Neither the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon nor the Loquat Juzo are like this."

"They're really taking advantage of my kindness."

The Konoha ninja gritted their teeth in hatred for Ao.

the other side.

"Pfft!"

Using the mist as cover, Kurihara Kohachi approached a Konoha ninja from behind, plunged the Blade of Destruction into the ninja's neck, and immediately withdrew it.

The Konoha ninja clutched his throat, his eyes wide, and collapsed in despair.

But soon, other Konoha ninjas arrived to provide support.

Kurihachi hid himself away.

A wave of fatigue suddenly washed over me.

Kurihara Kohachi had lost count of how many times he had drawn his sword or how many Konoha ninja he had killed.

Kurihara Hachi felt that his chakra and stamina were almost at their limits.

"There are just too many Konoha ninja!"

"Lord Fugu Demon and the others are suppressed again and have no way to free up their hands."

"A crushing defeat!"

"This can be considered the biggest defeat Kirigakure has faced since the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"They've already chased them to the beach. Aren't these Konoha ninja going to stop?"

"Are they going to chase us all the way to the Land of Water?"

Kushina Hachi gritted her teeth.

Suddenly, Kurihachi looked into the distance.

Two figures were engaged in fierce combat.

One is Hozuki Mangetsu of Kirigakure.

The other one is Uchiha Shisui from Konoha.

One who is skilled in the art of teleportation.

One who is skilled in water escape techniques.

One who possesses the Sharingan and can use genjutsu (illusionary techniques).

One uses a water-based technique, making them immune to physical damage.

Both of them were geniuses from their respective villages and ninja clans.

Furthermore, their family situations are similar.

After several encounters, the two developed a feeling of being both enemies and friends.

Uchiha Shisui didn't know why this was happening.

Hozuki Mangetsu doesn't know why this is happening.

However, both of them subconsciously did not use their full strength when they made a move, making it seem more like a contest than a life-or-death battle.

To be precise, both of them seemed to be just going through the motions.

Li Xian Xiaoba's eyes flickered.

"The battle between Mangetsu and Uchiha Shisui is evenly matched. If I were to get behind Uchiha Shisui at this moment, I might be able to deliver a fatal blow to him."

"If a genius from the Uchiha clan were to die here, the Uchiha clan would surely be devastated."

With a thought in mind, Kurihara Kohachi immediately concealed his aura and moved closer to Uchiha Shisui.

Neither Hozuki Mangetsu nor Uchiha Shisui noticed.

"Chance!"

Suddenly, Kushina Hachi sprang up.

Hozuki Mangetsu was taken aback when he saw Kurihara Kohachi suddenly appear.

Uchiha Shisui sensed that something was wrong.

"The art of instantaneous body!"

His figure vanished instantly, leaving only a green afterimage in the spot.

However, Kurihara Kohachi's attack had already landed.

It was destined before Uchiha Shisui left.

Uchiha Shisui felt a burning pain in his back.

"Kuri-san Kohachi!"

"Is this the power of the Blade of Destruction?"

"Pain like torture."

"This is the Great Sword!"

Uchiha Shisui stared warily at Kurihara Kohachi.

"it's a pity!"

Kurihara Kohachi looked regretful.

"Full Moon, attack together and kill him!"

Before Kurisaku Kohachi finished speaking, he had already begun to move, channeling chakra into the Blade of Destruction, hoping to find another opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Uchiha Shisui.

Hozuki Mangetsu and Uchiha Shisui did indeed have a sense of mutual respect and appreciation.

However, at this time, Hozuki Mangetsu would not be "slacking off".

Faced with attacks from both of them simultaneously, Uchiha Shisui suddenly found himself struggling.

At this point in time, Uchiha Shisui had not yet fully matured.

The technique of teleportation has its limitations in terms of the instantaneous movement.

The Sharingan is just a regular tomoe Sharingan.

A single full moon of Hozuki is already quite powerful.

What's more, there's also a small eight-shelled chestnut.

His assassination skills made Uchiha Shisui very wary.

Just when Uchiha Shisui was about to give up.

"Fire Escape, the art of dragon fire!"

A fire dragon swept in and blocked the path of Kurisu no Kohachi and Hozuki Mangetsu.

Fugaku Uchiha's voice rang out.

"Shisui, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Chieftain, thank you."

Fugaku Uchiha looked at Hachiko and Mangetsu Hozuki.

"Shisui, you are a genius of our Uchiha clan, the future of our Uchiha. Your life is very important. If you feel that you are not in good condition, then step down."

"In this war, Konoha has an absolute advantage."

"No need to take risks."

Uchiha Shisui nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."

Hozuki Mangetsu looked in the direction of Uchiha Fugaku.
