Konoha: Who's the good guy?

"I hope you can still say that later, hehehe~"

The user of the long sword and sewing needle, Kushimaru Kurihara, had a slightly cold gaze.

With a long knife and sewing needle slung across his back, he quickly formed hand seals, and a thick mist spread out!

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

"Scream! Howl! Desperately await the moment death arrives! Watching your intestines spill out, watching your comrades fall one by one, watching your blood stain everything around you, isn't that fun? You're looking forward to it too! Aren't you!"

Kushimaru's twisted, abnormal, and extremely excited voice sent chills down the spines of everyone in Kumogakure.

Troy's eyes narrowed; he had originally intended to stall for time a little longer.

Take this opportunity to magnetize the ground beneath your feet. When the battle begins, you can use the magnetized ground to gain a strategic advantage.

But the enemy acted too decisively, clearly knowing his methods quite well, and did not give him such an opportunity at all!

huh~

A sharp whistling sound came from the right rear.

With a cruel grin on his face, Mushishi Jinpachi, wielding the Exploding Blade Flying Spray, swung his blade at the last Chunin in Yamanaka Kei's team!

Troy swung his hand and unleashed a series of square shuriken behind him.

A special shuriken with Magnet Release, capable of magnetizing any enemy or their weapon it hits.

His subsequent magnetic attacks will attract the magnetized enemy, making them unable to dodge!

Boom!

Amidst the violent explosion, the square-shaped shuriken scattered in all directions.

Puffs of chakra smoke burst from the storage scroll in Troy's mouth, and his hands also created a series of afterimages.

Countless square shuriken, like celestial maidens scattering flowers, flew into the mist from all directions.

Ding~ Ding~

Two soft metallic clangs made a glint of light flash in Troy's eyes.

Two giant square shuriken, each more than half a person tall, immediately appeared in his hands. He twisted his body and swung them at the enemy who had just been marked by the magnetic force.

Splash!

The two water clones dispersed under the attack.

More water vapor, however, quietly condensed and took shape in the thick fog.

"Tsk~ The Hidden Mist ninjas, they're all so clueless, using this kind of tactic even with a numerical advantage..."

Yamashita muttered to himself.

He put on a serious expression and slowly began to form hand seals.

Lightning Release: Web Spider!

With a single slap on the ground, Lightning Release chakra transformed into a spiderweb of lightning, rapidly spreading outwards from the dense fog-shrouded area.

Crackling sound~

"snort!"

Several suppressed groans came from the surroundings.

Numerous water clones also dispersed under the attack of Lightning Release.

The newly promoted Jonin Nikai, who had been waiting in the wings, and the remaining three Chunin immediately unleashed their ninjutsu in the direction from which the lightning and sound came!

But the enemy was equally swift, using various methods to block the ninja attacks before retreating back into the thick fog.

The water clones disintegrated in the lightning, but failed to hit the enemy who had already hidden again.

The next moment, two towering water jets came from the left and right.

A strong chakra reaction came from the sky, and several sharks formed by water-style techniques rushed down from above everyone's heads!

Faced with the Hidden Mist ninja's long-planned attack, everyone could only dodge and evade.

Their clustered formation was also broken up and destroyed by the enemy.

ding ding ding

A barrage of attacks followed immediately.

One after another, the Hidden Mist ninjas launched a relentless barrage of attacks that left no time for the enemy to catch their breath!

Yamanaka Kei feigned a disheveled state, rolling forward to dodge and raising his right arm to block the enemy's kunai aimed straight at his neck.

Nikai and another Chunin, who chose to dodge in the same direction as him, quickly stood up and formed hand seals to perform a technique using Lightning Release, forcing back the two ninjas attacking from behind.

The crackling sound of lightning had not yet subsided.

Water blades, water needles, shuriken, and kunai attacked from all directions.

With their vision obstructed, everyone could only flee in panic when faced with attacks coming from the thick fog.

In less than a minute, the three of them had already sustained several wounds.

"Senior, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Nikai decisively abandoned her own thinking and passed the problem to Yamanaka Kei.

Perhaps it was because of the previous reminder.

He now has complete trust in this senior who is slightly weaker but has a wealth of experience.

"Prepare for my command and break through!"

Shan Zhongjing glanced at Nikai silently.

Is this guy really a Jonin?

Are the Jonin of Kumogakure only judged by strength and not by intelligence?

They weren't just passively taking hits; they were also waiting for the enemy to move.

By using the threat of Troy, a Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai ninja, to distract the enemy's top combatants, preparations are made for the subsequent breakout.

"good!"

Nikai's mind has stopped working.

Just like when he was a Chunin, whatever the Jonin in charge said went.

Boom!

A loud explosion, accompanied by the whistling sound of a square shuriken, came from the direction where Troy and the others had just moved.

The small square shuriken that had been scattered by Troy, either falling into the sea or embedding themselves in the ground, were drawn together by the magnetic release and transformed into a swirling storm of shuriken.

This directly forced back several Hidden Mist ninja who were constantly attacking!

Not daring to touch these square shuriken with their ninja swords, Kurihara Kushimaru and Murashi Jinpachi also retreated a distance.

"run!"

With a low shout, Shan Zhongjing formed hand seals and unleashed the Thunder Illusion · Thunder Light Pillar.

It emitted intense lightning that pierced through the thick fog.

Troy, in preparation for their breakout, pointed out the direction in which they were.

The moment Nikai finished speaking, the Lightning Release: Lightning Strike light crackled and flashed in his hands as he charged forward.

Another Chunin followed closely behind him.

Upon receiving the signal, Troy immediately activated his Magnetism Escape technique at full power and headed towards the location of the mountain scenery.

Kurihara Kushimaru and Murashi Jinpachi, who had already retreated a bit, started moving at the same time.

With a flick of his long sword, Sewing Needle, Kurisaki Kushimaru pointed it directly at the mountain scenery, which was as bright as a light bulb!

Ding~

Yamanaka Kei raised his hand to block, staggering as he received the sudden attack.

Upon seeing this, Troy, who was rushing towards him, kicked the longsword needle, trying to magnetize the opponent's weapon.

A sharp blade of light slashed straight at him, who was in mid-air and unable to dodge.

Troy, who was about to block the attack with his shuriken, narrowed his eyes when he saw the shape of the long sword.

Exploding blade spray!

That guy, Mushishi Jinpachi, didn't even have time to launch an attack himself, but he actually threw the Exploding Blade at us first!

"Walk!"

In the nick of time, Yamanaka Kei grabbed Troy's belt, spun around, and forcefully flung him toward Nikai!

The flying debris from the exploding blade also cleaved through the air and landed on the ground.

boom!

Under the powerful impact of the explosion, Yamanaka Kei tried his best to curl up his body and endure the blow.

As he was forced to retreat, he rolled to dodge and then sprang to his feet without stopping, blocking the attack from behind with a kunai. He then bent down and advanced instead of retreating, avoiding the silent water blade that came from behind.

The two Cloud Village Chunin who had been closely following Troy were caught in the blast wave of the exploding blade spray because they were only a little slow to react.

They were met with a surprise attack from the Hidden Mist ninja.

One man was pierced through the temple by a kunai and died instantly.

Even though the remaining person managed to dodge one attack, another Hidden Mist ninja slashed open his abdomen, and his intestines spilled out onto the ground as he dodged.

The shockwave of the explosion momentarily dispersed the dense fog surrounding the flying debris from the explosive blade.

Seeing the dire situation in the mountains, Troy wanted to rush back to rescue him, but then he heard his old teammate's urgent shout.

"Retreat immediately!"

He gazed at the figure with its back to him, hands forming hand seals, once again unleashing Lightning Release: Web Spider to intercept the enemy's pursuit.

Troy sensed the determination and unwavering resolve in his teammates!

With his hands forming hand seals, he unleashed a massive storm of magnetic shuriken, once again halting the enemy's pursuit, before gritting his teeth and charging toward the direction where Nikai was trying to break through.

"Perfect! Perfect! I can finally die!"

As Yamanaka looked at the thick fog gathering again, the smile on his lips was harder to suppress than AK's.

After unleashing another wide-range lightning attack, he pretended to be exhausted.

Staggering, he dodged the attacks of the Hidden Mist ninjas around him.

He moved closer to the user of the Exploding Blade Spray, Muli Jinba.

Originally intending to pursue Troy, Mushi Jinpachi saw an enemy deliver himself to his doorstep and, without thinking, unleashed a sweeping attack.

Magical - This is not the magic trick!

When Yamanaka Kei's eyes met those of Murei Jinpachi, he briefly confused the other's vision with a C-rank illusion.

The storage scroll in his left hand exploded with chakra smoke.

The original body of Cissei crashed directly into the exploding blade spray.

He himself used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear into the thick fog.

Boom!

A large amount of mangled limbs and flesh exploded!

Born in the Village of Blood Mist, the inherently cruel Muli Jinpachi wears a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on his face.

He didn't even glance at the scattered corpses.

Turning around, he and Kushimaru Kurihara chased after Troy and his men who had broken through and escaped!

[Beep~ Significantly altered the fate of a supporting character, slightly interfered with the development of the world line, and obtained: 1 chance to draw an entry, 1 chance to gift an entry.]

He concealed his presence by using the entry "Silent Walker".

He then used the Water Transformation Technique to blend into the mountain scenery of the sea, and, with a piece of ship wreckage bearing the Flying Thunder God mark on his head, watched the Cloud Village ninja and the Mist Village ninja depart into the distance.

Hearing the system notification in his mind, he blinked in confusion.

Whose destiny was altered?

Troy? Nikai?
