Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 420 Acid Mist

"Has the illusion been broken?"

Shisui, who was entangled with the surrounding Kirigakure ninja, immediately sensed that his genjutsu, which he had used to control Hozuki Mangetsu, had been broken.

However, he wasn't too surprised.

The opponent was, after all, an elite force from Kirigakure, so it was already quite remarkable that they had managed to hold out for so long.

"We need to buy ourselves more time!"

Given Shisui's speed, even though these Mist Ninjas were strong, if he wanted to leave, they simply couldn't stop him.

The reason they stayed here to entangle with the Mist Ninja was simply to delay their advance and buy time for their comrades to evacuate.

The signal has been sent. Given the speed of Ishii and Komatsu, they should be safe if I can hold out for another ten minutes or so.

"You all step back!"

Just as Shisui was about to entangle with the group of Mist Ninja for a while longer before retreating.

A clear, magnetic female voice rang out, and then Mei Terumi, dressed in a long blue dress with waist-length hair, arrived at the battlefield in a few steps.

Behind him was Man Yue, who looked like she was questioning the meaning of life, and Qing, who looked very serious.

"I'm growing to hate Uchiha men more and more!"

Whether it's this Uchiha Shisui or the Uchiha Toshiro we encountered before, they are both equally difficult to deal with.

"You all seal off the surrounding area. Next, it'll be me, Mangetsu, Kaito... and a few others who will lead the attack." After calling out five or six names, Mei Terumi continued, "Don't rush. Take it slow and steady. He's only one person; we can wear him down even if we have to!"

With a numerical advantage, there's no need to fight to the death. We can simply pick out a few outstanding individuals and use them in a war of attrition to wear down the enemy.

What a waste of such a handsome guy... it's really a bit of a waste!

"yes!"

Upon receiving Mei Terumi's order, most of the Kirigakure ninja who had surrounded Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

Let these big shots handle this strange and troublesome enemy; we 'ordinary people' should just stick to being tools.

"Mei Terumi?"

Looking at this strikingly beautiful woman, Shisui showed no appreciation whatsoever; his expression became more serious than ever before.

He knew this person; she possessed dual bloodlines, making her far superior to ordinary ninjas. If he fought her, he might not be able to return to Konoha if things went wrong.

"Boiling Escape: Corroding Gold and Destroying Bones"

With her first move, Mei Terumi made Shisui realize how formidable her opponent was.

Layers of emerald green mist, very similar to the Mist Concealment Technique, were exhaled from the other party's rosy lips.

It quickly enveloped the surrounding area.

"This is!" Shisui frowned deeply as he looked at his illusory clone: ​​"Acid mist!"

Seeing his clones becoming blurred by the thick, emerald-green fog, Shisui knew that this was a way for his opponent to restrict his Body Flicker Technique.

Corrosion from the acid mist had almost completely destroyed his phantom clones' ability to confuse the enemy. He also sensed that in just a few breaths, his phantom clones were on the verge of collapse.

The corrosive effects of this acid mist will dissipate in no time, and it will revert to a mass of chakra.

Not only that, but he also felt a burning sensation on his exposed skin. Shisui knew that even if he covered his skin with chakra, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

They will still be completely corroded by these acid fumes.

"Wind Release: Typhoon Passes"

With his hands forming hand seals, Shisui unleashed a wide-range Wind Release ninjutsu in an attempt to blow away the acid mist.

Fighting in this acidic mist, one not only has to face enemy attacks, but also constantly activate one's own chakra to resist the acidic mist.

In addition, the power of the Instantaneous Movement Technique has been greatly reduced.

This is very disadvantageous for him!

"It's not that simple after all!"

After a gust of wind had blown enough, seeing the limited effect of this Wind Release ninjutsu, Shisui wisely decided not to waste any more chakra.

The opponent clearly incorporated Boil Release into the Hidden Mist Technique, which is essentially a Bloodline Limit version of ninjutsu. It's obviously not something that a standalone Wind Release ninjutsu can dispel.

"Full moon... Kaito, let's go!"

"The rest of you, stay alert and prevent the target from escaping!"

After saying this, Mei Terumi took a step and stepped into the hazy, acidic mist.

As Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the green mist in front of him, his lips twitched involuntarily. He could faintly feel the burning pain on his skin again.

The acid that Mei Terumi added to the water was not very concentrated; it only corroded part of his skin. After being washed away by the water jutsu, he regained his basic original appearance.

However, looking at the acid mist, he could still feel his body being corroded inch by inch.

I hope I won't be completely disfigured!

His current condition can still be salvaged with medical ninjutsu, but if he remains in this acidic mist for an extended period, things could change.

However… the thought of how he had just been manipulated by this guy inside to kill many of his comrades sent a surge of rage straight to his head.

He then rushed into the acid mist.

"Looks like... that's the only option!"

Seeing Mei Terumi moving unchecked through the acid mist, he realized that the power of his Phantom Blink was greatly reduced, and he had no choice but to continue stalling for time.

Touching his eye sockets, Shisui felt somewhat helpless. If he could, he wouldn't want to use the Kaleidoscope in battle.

Such consumption is simply too great.

Just as Mei Terumi unleashed her acid mist, a spatial ripple spread out not far from their battlefield.

Obito, with long hair, a black robe, and a patterned mask, appeared in the canopy of a large tree, using the trees as cover to quietly observe the battle in the arena.

As for Qing, he was currently focused on the battle within the acid mist and had no energy left to pay attention to his surroundings.

"The battle is fierce!"

Wherever Obito is, White Zetsu will always appear. As for Black Zetsu, that guy is in Kirigakure, controlling the Fourth Mizukage.

"Whatever... It would be best if these guys perished together with Shisui, that would be ideal!"

Obito showed no pity for these Mist Ninja.

This time, we can take over Shisui's work and deal with a few troublemakers in Kirigakure.

"Are you really going to give Shizuku's eyes to that gloomy guy?"

"Just a pair of ordinary Sharingan. They're decent eyes, but it doesn't matter. I won't lack these consumables later!"

Obito didn't know much about Shisui's eyes.

Moreover, in his opinion, although the other party's eyes were precious, they were not worth mentioning at all compared to Uchiha Toshiro's Mangekyou Sharingan.

P.S.: My editor told me they'll give me a trend indicator (recommendation) on the 21st, and asked me to save up some drafts. I'll update three times a day for the next few days! I'll make up for it then, and try to update as much as possible…
