Chapter 164 Rebound! Nue pick!

Deep within Misty Valley, in a makeshift room, a tall, dark-skinned, middle-aged man with bulging muscles sat on a chair, propping his right cheek with one hand and looking bored.

His name is Ye Yuebi.

The Yotsuki clan, the undisputed number one ninja clan from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.

The Hidden Cloud Village was founded by their clan leader, the First Raikage. The two subsequent Raikages were also from this clan, and their family's status and influence in the Hidden Cloud Village and even the entire Land of Lightning were at their zenith.

Not only is Yotsuki Bi from the Yotsuki clan, but he is also the "Bi" of the previous generation of the AB duo.

The AB duo is a legendary pairing in Kumogakure, or even more so in the Yotsuki clan.

Typically, the heir of the Night Moon Clan, who will inherit the name "Ai," will choose a trusted partner from within the clan or among relatives to inherit the name "Bi." Only if no one else can be found will they seek other people.

The two grew up together, fought side by side, and trusted each other so much that they could entrust their backs to each other without reservation.

And the "Bi" of the previous generation is the same as the "Bi" of the night moon.

His former partner is the current Third Raikage—Aya Yozuki (original name Nozomi Yozuki).

That man who was known as the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

"So boring."

Ye Yuebi yawned again and shifted her position listlessly.

"It's more fun fighting alongside my older brother."

"I don't know what my brother was thinking, making me do this kind of warehouse guarding work."

Despite saying that, Ye Yue knew in her heart that she had actually fallen behind her older brother a long time ago.

The eldest brother is too strong now. He's so strong that even with just ordinary teamwork, his partner needs to have enough speed and reaction time to keep up.

And he, who was once "better," can no longer do that.

If the two really want to cooperate, the older brother needs to slow down and accommodate him, but he will become a burden to the older brother.

So his elder brother placed him in the rear, letting him inspect all the important supply points in the village, entrusting the most vulnerable places to him, the person he trusted most.

"Sigh..." Yoruzuki thought aimlessly, intending to take another nap, then...

"Um!?"

Ye Yuebi's eyes snapped open, and without warning, blinding blue lightning burst forth from his massive body! A surge of violent lightning chakra instantly enveloped his entire body, emitting a clanging, menacing sound.

In the next instant, his figure had disappeared from the spot.

A few minutes ago, in the valley.

A thick fog blanketed the area.

A flash of light, and two Cloud Village ninjas fell silently.

Shinichi gave a "safe" signal, and several dark figures quickly stepped forward to dispose of the body. The whole process took less than three seconds.

This is inside the Hidden Mist Valley, about 500 meters from the valley entrance. Shinichi's first reconnaissance team has been infiltrating for ten minutes, using the insect swarm controlled by Shiseido Aburame in the shadows to clear the way and avoid all barrier nodes and traps.

They encountered three dangerous situations along the way, all of which were narrowly averted.

"Turn left ahead, and you'll reach the designated area after going around the rock wall." Aburame Shikatsu's message was quickly compiled into text in the air by the swarm of insects: "The swarm has detected chakra fluctuations, at least thirty stable vital signs."

"Keep advancing." Shinichi gestured, and the first assault team prepared to engage the enemy.

"Wait." Inuzuka Tsuru suddenly sniffed. "A new scent is approaching, and it's moving very fast! Seven people, at two o'clock, about 150 meters away!"

Patrol team.

Shinichi made a "conceal" gesture, and everyone instantly disappeared into the mist.

A moment later, seven Cloud Village ninjas walked past from twenty meters away. Shinichi glanced at them, estimated their strength, and then made a hand gesture.

"Kill them!"

The moment the gesture was made, Zhen Yiren vanished from his spot, and the twenty figures around him sprang up simultaneously!

Shinichi charged in first, and with a flash of his blade, the throats of two Cloud Hidden figures were slashed open, blood spurting out. Without stopping, he swung his blade backhand and severed the head of the third person. With his left hand, he grabbed the throat of the fourth person and crushed it with a crack.

Four Cloud Ninja were dealt with in an instant!

At the same time, the remaining three Cloud Hidden figures suddenly froze, their eyes glazed over. Ueno Kaito and the others, who had been lurking nearby, pounced out from the mist, finishing off the seven corpses one by one with clean and swift strokes. Before the seven corpses could even fall to the ground, they had already been dragged into the shadows.

In less than three seconds, Shinichi lightly wiped the blood off his sword and sheathed it.

"keep going."

The group moved again, passing through the last patch of fog, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.

In the center of the open space, there were several huge warehouses, surrounded by a three-meter-high fence, watchtowers at the four corners, and a protective light membrane covering the entire area.

"At least 120 people are stationed here permanently. The barrier is very strong and difficult to break through silently." Aburame Shigeaki quickly reported the data through the swarm of insects.

Shinichi observed the patrol pattern: "First, look for those with barriers..."

""

He hadn't finished speaking.

boom!!!

An explosion came from the direction of the valley entrance! Flames tore through the thick fog! The sounds of clashing weapons and angry shouts followed immediately!

It's the Third Assault Team! We've been exposed!

"Oh no!" Kaito Ueno's expression changed.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"It's a Konoha dog!"

The alarm blared through the valley, and the ninjas on the watchtower immediately sent a signal. The ground patrol quickly contracted, forming a formation with their backs to the warehouse, and more Cloud Village ninjas armed with weapons poured out of the barracks next to the warehouse.

The entire Misty Valley was like a hornet's nest that had been poked, instantly boiling over.

It's been exposed.

The plan was disrupted.

A cold glint flashed in Shin's eyes, and he made a decision in an instant, shouting, "Charge! Ueno-senpai! Cooperate with me! Break through the gap from the front!"

As he spoke, a point of crimson light suddenly condensed at the tip of Zhenyi's finger, and then he raised his hand.

A stealthy sweep!

A single flame shot through the air like a sharp arrow, then suddenly exploded in mid-air, creating a massive wave of fire that swept towards the warehouse area like a raging torrent!

Almost two seconds after Shinichi made his move, Kaito Ueno completed his hand seals, his chest bulging high, and the next moment...

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A violent gale howled out and precisely poured into the sea of ​​fire!

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire was fueled by the wind!

The already surging wave of flames suddenly increased several times, transforming into a raging storm that blotted out the sky and pressed down fiercely on the Cloud Hidden Formation!

The scorching heatwave surged, instantly evaporating the fog wherever it passed, leaving the ground charred and cracked, and even the air itself distorted and deformed from the heat.

With a crack, the barrier's light membrane flickered violently under the impact of the flame storm, and after less than half a second, it shattered like fragile glass!

"The barrier has broken!"

"Stop them!"

The Cloud Village side reacted extremely quickly. At the very moment the barrier shattered, the twenty Cloud Village members at the front began rapidly forming hand seals!

"superior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint, shimmering crimson color suddenly appeared beneath Zhenyi's skin, and wisps of heat seemed to emanate from his body!

Immediately, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and his entire body transformed into a crimson tornado wreathed in raging flames and spinning at high speed. It carved a scorching airwave trajectory in mid-air and crashed into the Cloud Hidden Array with overwhelming force!

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"

Almost the instant that the fiery tornado that Shinichi had transformed into began to charge into the formation, the twenty Cloud Village members who had been there earlier also completed their final hand seals and roared in unison!

Blinding lightning spears, thick pillars of lightning, and several violent lightning balls that crackled and exploded... all sorts of lightning-style ninjutsu burst forth from their hands, weaving together a destructive azure lightning net that crashed head-on into the indestructible fiery tornado!

boom!!!

A blinding light exploded, making it impossible to look directly at the scene! The violent energy shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly evaporating the surrounding mist! The rubble on the ground was blasted into the air, only to be reduced to dust in the subsequent impact!

The lightning net collapsed, transforming into countless leaping arcs of electricity across the sky.

The fiery tornado exploded with a roar, scattering crimson flames in all directions.

Just as the fiery tornado disappeared, Shinichi's figure burst out from the sky full of sparks and arcs of electricity!

In mid-air, his right leg was raised high, straight like a battle axe, carrying his entire weight and the kinetic energy of the fall, and he crashed down like a meteorite towards the densest area of ​​the Cloud Village below!

Painful feet!

boom!!!

A deafening bang! It made my eardrums ache!

The three Cloud Village ninjas in the center were kicked to death instantly, the sound of their bones shattering was clearly audible, leaving a huge crater several meters in diameter, with debris shooting out in all directions.

More than twenty Cloud Hidden Ones nearby were violently thrown back by the shockwave. Some coughed up blood and flew backward, some rolled on the ground struggling to get up, and some crashed into the wooden wall of the warehouse with a dull thud.

The entire Cloud Concealment formation was instantly torn open by this attack, leaving a huge gap!

"Tooth-to-teeth!"

Inuzuka Claw's attack followed closely behind! She and her companion Kuromaru spun at high speed simultaneously, their two streams of chakra intertwining and merging into two high-speed spinning hurricanes that descended from the sky like drills!

Boom! Boom!

Two more loud bangs!

The two hurricanes that Inuzuka Tsurugi and Kuromaru transformed into precisely struck the Cloud Village formation that had been scattered by the shockwave and had not yet regrouped!

Three Cloud Villagers were sent flying by the impact, and the sound of their bones shattering could be clearly heard!

Four or five others were hit by the edge of the hurricane, instantly suffering several deep, bone-revealing wounds that gushed blood!

"Well done!"

Ueno's eyes lit up, and he immediately led the remaining dozen or so team members to quickly follow and charge into the Cloud Village, where the formation was in disarray.

"Damn brat!"

Two angry shouts rang out almost simultaneously!

The Cloud Village Jonin Kazumo and Alts charged towards Shinichi one after the other!

Kazumo was at the forefront, his katana wreathed in violent lightning chakra, the crackling electricity on the blade reflecting off his ferocious expression.

The blade tore through the air with a piercing thunderous sound, aiming straight for Shinichi's neck!

This strike was both swift and ruthless, and with the added power of Lightning Release chakra, its speed was astonishing!

Clang!

A crisp, short, and even light metallic clang rang out as Shinichi's sword, as if it had foreseen the future, and with perfect precision, it struck the side of Kazmo's fiercely descending katana at an extremely subtle, unstable, and least stressed point!

Kazmo felt as if his blade had struck an extremely smooth ice wall, or as if he had punched empty air; his power was instantly deflected and dissipated! His body froze for a moment!

A strange and precise counterforce surged upwards along the blade, like a tidal wave rushing into his right arm, numbing his tiger's mouth and causing his right hand, which was holding the knife, to briefly lose sensation!

How could that be?

Only this one thought flashed through his mind.

The next instant, a cold light flashed, and Kazmo's head flew into the air, spurting blood.

One round.

A Cloud Village Jonin, instantly killed.

Secret Sword Technique: Parry!

This is the strange effect brought about by Shinichi's many weapon enhancement attributes such as [Sword Master], [Swordsmanship Proficiency], and [Polearm Proficiency]. These attributes not only greatly improved his efficiency and upper limit in learning and using various weapons, but also seemed to allow him to understand the essence and characteristics of weapons.

Every weapon has its own "momentum".

Every attack has its "eye".

Everyone has their most vulnerable and fatal moment.

Shinichi can perceive that moment. With the blessing of [Lightning Flash], he can see that moment, and by combining the two, he can seize that moment!

What?!

At that moment, Alts, who was known for his martial arts skills and was about to deliver a sweeping kick to Shinichi's head, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

But at this point, he had no time to think too much. He could only seize the brief pause after the opponent finished their attack to launch another. From Alz's direction, the opponent shouldn't have time to turn around and strike—

However, when faced with his attack, Shinichi did not dodge or draw his sword. He simply arched his body and raised his left elbow to block!

boom! ! !

The instant the elbow collided with the leg, Alz felt an indescribable force of recoil coming from the opponent's elbow! The force was outrageous, as if he had not kicked flesh and blood, but rather a mountain!

What's even more terrifying is that the force actually rolled back up his leg, causing him to lose all feeling in his leg instantly!

In the instant he lost his balance, a hand as strong as an iron clamp had already grabbed his thigh!

The next moment, the world spun around!

Shinichi grabbed Alz's thigh and, as if wielding a weapon, slammed him heavily onto the ground!

boom!!!

Gravel flew everywhere, and the ground cracked!

Alz's vision went black, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Before his vision could clear, a scorching fist slammed down.

boom!

Crimson flames exploded on the fist, and Alz's head vanished completely in the flames.

Counterattack Technique: Pick!

Its inspiration comes from the "copper head and iron arm" that is two separate beings.

Shinichi doesn't have the bloodline of the Ape Demon, so he can't truly unleash the Bronze Head and Iron Arm technique, but he can try to simulate it.

Over the past year, he has repeatedly deduced the way his clone's muscles contract, the angle of force on the bones, and the explosive flow and convergence of chakra in specific meridians and acupoints when the clone activates its copper head and iron arm.

Ultimately, he devised this "removal" strategy based on his own circumstances, which resulted in a loss.

In a particularly ugly way, he instantly mobilizes chakra to simulate a localized, extreme defensive state similar to having a copper head and iron arms. At the moment of being struck, he rebounds his own power and part of the guided and absorbed impact force in the form of a shockwave, creating an excellent opening to defeat the enemy in one blow.

"" refers to a legendary monster that resembles a monkey, has tiger feet and a python tail, a voice like a tiger, and is invulnerable to swords and spears. This skill is derived from its "strength" and "counterattack".

"Oh no! The enemy is very strong!"

In the blink of an eye, two of the Cloud Village's top ninjas perished under the blade and in the palm of Shinichi, causing a huge uproar in the Cloud Village formation. The remaining Cloud Village members retreated in shock.

Behind them, Inuya Tsurugi and Nogi Kaito were also surprised. They knew their captain was strong, but they never imagined he was this strong.

That's the Hidden Cloud Ninja.

In other words, it would only take the captain one or two rounds to deal with them.

Fortunately, it was Liang from our side.

The same thought simultaneously crossed the minds of all the Konoha ninja.
