I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 28 Kurosuki Raiga, the Byakugan that was countered

"A Konoha ninja? He reminds me of an annoying guy."

Just as the Eighth Class was on high alert, the group of men in black raincoats walking towards them, led by the one with a bulge in his back, also muttered something.

As if sensing the change in this person's emotions, a boy's voice came from the bulging raincoat behind him: "Should we hold a funeral for them?"

"Hey……"

The man in the raincoat didn't answer; instead, he grinned.

Soon, Class 8 passed by the group of people in black raincoats.

During that time, they kept staring at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

It was as if they would immediately attack if the other party made any move.

Fortunately, neither side seemed to want to cause trouble, and they did nothing as they passed each other.

Just as Kurenai was about to lower her guard.

Suddenly, a thick white fog appeared in the air, turning the area in front of Class 8 into a white haze in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no, this is the Hidden Mist Technique!" Kurenai Yuhi's expression changed drastically.

"Rokugan—Open!"

Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan, then turned and unleashed a swirling vortex of energy behind her: "Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!"

The distorted airflow, like an invisible cannonball, hit a person in a raincoat and sent him flying.

"what……"

Screams echoed through the thick fog.

But the next second, Hinata's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "There's an ambush! There are at least a hundred of them!"

From Hinata's perspective, a large group of people with chakra flowing through their meridians appeared at a visible speed within the thick white fog.

"Don't be alarmed, it's just an illusion."

Shino Aburame remained remarkably calm, watching the insect crawling on her index finger, and said, "While it's incredible that an illusion can deceive the Byakugan, my insects tell me that their scent hasn't changed."

Upon hearing this, Yagyu, who had already activated his Sharingan and was also seeing hundreds of chakra streams in the thick fog, paused in his hand seals.

Immediately, Yagyu's hand seals changed: "Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang!

As the white fog turned the world white, Class 8 only heard a sound like a balloon bursting.

"Spiral Water Tornado!"

Liu Sheng took a few steps forward, raised his right hand above his head, palm facing up.

Rings of blue vortex appeared out of thin air, forming a small blue tornado.

As soon as the blue tornado formed, a huge wave of water descended from the sky.

The area of ​​the water waves was enormous; it could definitely carry Class 8 a very long distance.

However, the water waves failed to submerge Class 8. As if attracted by a magnet, they all converged on top of Yagyu's head, forming a rapidly growing waterspout.

The waterspout was still forming when Yagyu threw it out.

As soon as the waterspout detached, its eye, like the bottom of a spinning top, plowed a huge trench in the ground.

When gravel is drawn into the waterspout, it immediately amplifies the destructive power of the waterspout, which is otherwise just a swirling stream of water.

The terrifying suction force also pulled in the surrounding thick fog, like a giant vacuum cleaner.

At the same time, the waterspout, which was growing larger and larger and contained more and more gravel, swept towards the group of people in black raincoats at an extremely fast speed.

Because the waterspouts moved extremely fast, and they were also affected by the dense fog.

By the time the group of men in black raincoats realized what was happening, they had already been pulled into the waterspout by the suction.

"Ahhh..."

The screams echoed through the mountains.

As the thick fog dissipated, a waterspout containing a large amount of rubble and several figures spinning at high speed quickly disappeared from Class 8's sight.

Unless there is a thick mountain wall in front of it, this waterspout will probably fly a long way before it dissipates.

Kurenai Yuhi and Shino Aburame couldn't imagine how powerful Yagyu's technique would be if it were used at sea, given its power on land.

Hinata, whose temples were bulging with veins, said in disbelief, "It really is an illusion? How is this possible?"

Like the Sharingan, the Byakugan is also the nemesis of genjutsu.

Once Hinata activates her Byakugan, she can see the meridians in a person's body.

All ninjas have chakra flowing through their meridians.

Unless it is a physical entity like a shadow clone, any human illusion created by illusion magic is useless in the eyes of the Byakugan.

Hinata only needs to target the person whose meridians have chakra flowing.

But just now, Hinata clearly noticed that there were at least a hundred meridians with chakra flowing within the thick fog.

That wasn't created by illusion at all!

But ironically, it really was an illusion.

As a result, Hinata began to question the Byakugan of her own clan for the first time.

Rumble...

Just then, a thunderous sound suddenly reached the ears of Class 8.

The next second, as if sensing something, Yagyu and Kurenai's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly shouted, "Scatter!"

After saying that, Yagyu picked up Hinata, who was still in a daze, and flew away in a flash.

boom--

Almost the instant the Eighth Class dispersed, a massive bolt of lightning struck the spot where they had been standing.

The ground was instantly blasted into a large crater, and debris flew everywhere.

Strands of blue-white electric arcs swirled and flickered.

The eighth class appeared in an open space, formed a triangle, and scanned the surrounding mountain road.

Kurenai Yuhi said seriously, "Hinata, quickly use your Byakugan to look around. Have you spotted the person using Lightning Release?"

Hinata, held in Yagyu's arms, said in a panic, "I can't find it. Apart from those few people who were hit by the water tornado, I didn't see any chakra."

"I can't find my bugs either," Shino Aburame said with a serious expression.

On the other hand, Yagyu, with his Sharingan beneath his beautiful contact lenses, seemed to have caught something and gently comforted Hinata in his arms: "Don't panic. It's not that your eyes can't see people, but that the other party has a way to suppress the Byakugan and senses."

"I've found him! Look over there!"

Liu Sheng pointed to a mountain path.

Following the direction Yagyu pointed, Class 8 indeed spotted a figure—the leader with the bulge behind his raincoat.

At this moment, the opponent had taken off the hood of his raincoat, revealing a head of green hair and two uniquely designed blades that flashed with blue and white lightning.

Upon seeing this person's appearance and that famous ninja sword, cold sweat broke out on Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful face: "This person is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist... Raiga Kurosuki."

The next second, Kurenai Yuhi took out a kunai without hesitation and said firmly, "I'll hold him off. You guys get out of here quickly."

"Red Teacher, aren't you going to run away with us?" Hinata asked hurriedly.

"I can't run away!"

Kurenai Yuhi said in a deep voice, "The other party is a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, a Jonin who is proficient in Kirigakure's assassination techniques. If we try to escape together, he will only defeat us one by one."

"In that case, let's have Class 8 join forces to fight the enemy."

Yagyu smiled confidently and said, "It's perfect for testing my new ninjutsu!"

Hinata also stood firmly next to Yagyu.

Although Shino Aburame didn't say anything, she also stood on the other side of Yagyu.

"you……"

Seeing the three Yagyu characters who were unwilling to leave and were ready to die, Kurenai was taken aback for a moment, and then a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

A slight smile played on her lips as she said, "Then let's, Team 8, join forces to defeat the rogue ninja!"

Rumble...

The sound of thunder echoed through the mountains, deafeningly loud.

A massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky once more, heading straight for Class 8.
