Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 415 Instantaneous Movement

That night, in the heart of the Land of Fire.

Under the deep night sky, a primeval forest stands silently, utterly still, with only the occasional whisper of the wind in the woods, stirring up ripples in the air.

The stars twinkled in the night sky, and a campfire burned at the edge of the forest. The firelight shone brightly in the night, and the light swayed in the wind, casting bright and dim shadows.

"Shisui, you should go and rest too!"

A companion who had worked with Zhishui a few times, seeing the figure still sitting by the campfire, offered a reminder.

"If you keep going like this, you won't be able to maintain your best condition during the day tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Komatsu, this won't affect my performance."

Shisui responded to his companion's kindness with a fairly cheerful smile.

"Fine, whatever!"

"However, you should still take care of your health!"

For a ninja of Shisui's caliber, going without sleep for just one or two nights is not a big problem at all.

Xiaosong simply gave a word of advice and then disappeared into the canopy of a tree in the distance.

"Things seem to be going badly!"

Having spent the entire day traveling, Zhi Shui, who was still on night watch after nightfall, looked up at the silent primeval forest around him.

Although he was not a professional sensory ninja, he could not accurately determine whether there were enemies around.

However, ninjas at his level generally possess excellent intuition and are extremely sensitive to the aura of danger.

Although there was nothing unusual about the surrounding forest, Shisui still had a sense of impending danger, considering the strange behavior of the Mist Ninja envoys earlier that day.

Arriving under the canopy where Komatsu was hiding, Shisui made a few hand gestures, then turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot.

Just as Shisui disappeared into the night, a team of more than thirty ninjas, under the cover of darkness, stealthily made their way towards their campsite.

"Everyone, stay alert, we're close to our target."

Seeing the signal given by the tracking ninja leading the way, Mei Terumi spoke to her companions behind her.

"Ao, use your Byakugan to confirm our tracking route, and also observe those Konoha ninjas, especially our target for this mission."

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, Qing formed hand seals: "Byakugan, activate!"

He was now close to the target's location, and with the range of his Hyuga main family Byakugan, he could already vaguely see the other party.

"This is, little..."

Ah!

Before the warning could even be uttered, a Mist Ninja who was clearing a path in the distance suddenly let out a piercing scream, then fell straight down from the tree with a dull thud.

"Everyone be careful! The attacker is at our nine o'clock position! It's coming from..."

With veins bulging around his eyes, Qing only had time to warn his companion before he could even utter the attacker's name. He immediately used his Body Flicker Technique to leave his original location.

brush!

Just as he was leaving, a blurry figure appeared where he had been standing.

That wasn't the end of it. Seeing his prey escape, the figure of the newcomer blurred again.

Then, a bright blade of light, illuminated by the moonlight, faintly glowed with a chilling light, aimed directly at Qing's throat.

"We're doomed this time!"

Through the Byakugan's perspective, Ao watched as a figure radiating blue chakra, holding a sharp dagger, slashed towards his throat. Ao seemed to already foresee his own fate of having his throat cut.

"I can't let you kill him!"

Just as Qing was about to close his eyes and await death, a tall figure blocked his way and threw a punch at Shisui's left side.

"We're saved!"

Qing, who had just thought he was going to die, looked at the figure in front of him and felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, fearing being ambushed by her companions, she stayed close to Mei Terumi, otherwise, given the speed of her attack, no one would have been able to save her.

As for Mei Terumi's curvaceous figure from the perspective of the white eye... well, Ao admits that her white eye has blind spots~

puff!

Before Qing could even breathe a sigh of relief, Terumi Mei, who was attacking the attacker, suddenly passed right through the attacker's figure and smashed a blue stone next to him, shattering it.

"Watch out, someone's behind you!"

Before she could even be surprised at when the other party had created a phantom clone, and without Ao's reminder, Mei Terumi had already sensed the threat behind her.

With a twist of her slender waist, which possessed both delicate strength and explosive power, she used her right leg as a pivot to turn around and sweep her leg horizontally in a ruthless scorpion tail strike, attacking the figure behind her.

The force released by his left leg was so great that it made the surrounding air whistle.

"Qing! She's over there!"

The gust of wind from her left leg scattered, and before Mei Terumi's long leg could even touch the other person's body, she realized that what was in front of her was yet another phantom clone.

Where is the other party's true form?

Without any thought, almost instinctively, she knew that the other party's target must be Qing.

Just as she had imagined, another Shisui appeared behind Ao, his ninja sword lightly raised, the tip of the blade less than ten centimeters from Ao's throat.

"Ten fingers piercing through bullets!"

It must be said that Qing was very lucky.

No… it should be said that he had quite a few teammates, and just as the tip of the newcomer's knife was about to pierce Qing's throat and end his life.

Ten shots rang out in quick succession, the pale finger bones in the darkness of the night flying toward the attacker's back.

Clearly, if the attackers continue their assault on Qing, they will have to withstand this wave of attacks, which are far more powerful than those from ordinary projectile weapons.

brush!

Puff puff!

The echo of a high-speed teleportation followed a series of sounds, like a shuriken striking flesh.

"Hmm... Hmph..."

A suppressed cry of pain rang out. Qing, who was not far from death, had blood splattering all over his body as the fingers and bones of the attackers pierced through him, leaving bloody holes.

However, he didn't blame his teammates. That's just how the Mist Ninja are. He was already very grateful that they were able to lend him a hand, so there was nothing to complain about.

"The attacker is... Uchiha Shisui!"

Catching his breath, Qing finally managed to say the words he had been holding back.

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow and enduring the pain, he leaped a few times and arrived at Mei Terumi's side.

Facing Uchiha Shisui, he felt that he would feel safer following behind Terumi Mei than hiding in the back.

The opponent's teleportation technique was truly bizarre.
