They were ordered by Tsunade not only to monitor Sasuke but also to protect him in case of emergency. They just didn't expect that someone would actually come here to assassinate Sasuke.
Without even a second thought, those people were naturally Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's men.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Two people suddenly leaped up from the treetops. They were also members of the Dark Division, but they were under the orders of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mito.
With the help of the powerful vortex of the gale, the dragon-shaped flames instantly rose several times higher, and sparks burst forth in an extremely dense manner, illuminating the entire area in a crimson glow. The raging heat wolves swept in, making everyone's cheeks sting.
This is the power of combination ninjutsu. Even two C-rank ninjutsu, when combined in the hands of a Jonin, can become ninjutsu that approaches or even surpasses A-rank.
At that moment, two people suddenly emerged from the shadows of the trees on the other side, their hands clasped tightly together, with two fingers of their left hand held upright in front of them.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
This time it was even more ruthless. Two B-rank ninjutsu were combined, and several huge magma blocks shot out from three directions. Although it didn't have the overwhelming momentum of the previous combination ninjutsu, everyone had the feeling that if they were hit by this technique, they would be blown to smithereens.
The group of ninjas responsible for protecting Sasuke remained calm. They paired up and combined Water Dragon Bullet and Thunder Cloud Wave. The water dragon, wrapped in powerful lightning, roared towards the magma.
On the other hand, the others used the Water Wall formation together, spewing out large amounts of water that transformed into indestructible water walls that spread in all directions, blocking the raging fire and creating plumes of mist. Before long, the entire area was shrouded in mist.
boom!
Immediately following, a thunderous roar erupted as the two combined ninjutsu techniques clashed head-on. Water dragons surged, lightning raged, and magma cracked, the overwhelming force instantly shattering everything around them.
Trees were broken, houses collapsed, smoke and dust filled the air, and furrows of furrows were visible on the ground.
Whoosh...
At this moment, several more figures leaped into the air, wielding knives as they descended. The cold blades in their hands were standard-issue weapons, gleaming with a silver light.
There were no words exchanged; their only goal was to kill Sasuke and retreat immediately without lingering.
However, Sasuke remained expressionless and indifferent throughout. Without him even lifting a finger, the kunai in the hands of the ANBU around him flipped and suddenly leaped into the air, intertwining with the assassins.
The fighting was intense, with both sides composed of members of the secret service, and neither side could gain the upper hand. The two sides were locked in a stalemate.
An assassin imbued his kunai with chakra and slashed it, carving a deep scratch into the solid wall.
This chakra attachment is fundamentally different from Danzo's. Attaching chakra to a weapon is one thing, but attaching chakra with elemental properties to it is another.
The two are not even in the same league in terms of difficulty.
Another ninja, clearly skilled in taijutsu, was incredibly fast. He used only a few simple ninjutsu techniques to close the distance to his opponent, flipped in mid-air, and pinned him to the ground with one foot on his neck.
In an instant, dust and smoke billowed up, and a large crater appeared.
In short, everyone was using their unique abilities to fight, and the forests and houses were reduced to ashes in the battle.
However, to everyone's surprise, one of the ANBU protecting Sasuke suddenly turned around, pushed off with his toes, and instantly appeared behind Sasuke, raising his kunai high, clearly intending to kill Sasuke.
This was Mitokado Homura's contingency plan. She perfectly inherited Tobirama Senju's attitude of ostracizing the Uchiha clan, and would not allow the extinct Uchiha clan to take root in Konoha again. Therefore, she would not allow failure.
"Oops!"
The ANBU members responsible for protecting Sasuke were ashen-faced. Who could have imagined such a scene? The enemy had infiltrated their ranks.
Then, he forcefully pushed away his opponent who was dragging him, gathered chakra in his upper body, and swooped down, his hands flying, his left hand gripping his right, a terrifying aura spreading.
"Fire Release: Flame Dragon..."
"puff……"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out.
Sasuke's three-tomoe eyes slowly rotated as he stared blankly ahead, but his right hand, holding a sword, thrust it into the man's abdomen.
"You are too weak."
After saying that, Zuo Zhu used his sword as a medium to continuously channel lightning into the man's body. The crackling sound of electricity caused the man to twitch and go limp.
Finally, with a bang...
Chapter 156 Progress in the Past Three Years
boom!
The man was crackling with lightning, and many parts of his body were charred. Finally, unable to withstand the pressure, he suddenly exploded.
In an instant, blood gushed out like a pillar, flesh and blood splattered everywhere like mud, and drops of blood foam spread in all directions with the explosion, splashing many people's faces.
Although they were members of the Anbu, who carried out murders, they had never experienced such a scene before. A living person exploding, such a bloody scene, such ruthless methods—it was simply unbelievable that Sasuke was only a fifteen-year-old boy.
chi chi chi...
Sasuke was enveloped in lightning, and the splattered blood and severed limbs were blasted away by the lightning before they could even touch him.
Sasuke calmly withdrew his hand, and the three tomoe in his eyes stopped spinning, slowly becoming clear and returning to normal, clearly having calmed down.
Silence reigned all around. Both sides retreated rapidly, creating distance between themselves and the enemy. The secret service was alright, but the assassins were filled with apprehension, wondering if they could even complete their mission.
"Why did you stop?" Sasuke said indifferently. "If you want to kill me, you can try."
call out!
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out, and crackling electricity pierced the air, carrying a strong thunderous aura, and suddenly appeared in front of an assassin.
In the assassin's eyes, the blue-white lightning drew ever closer, casting a blurry, illuminating the surroundings and making the faces of the people pale, even though they were wearing masks.
Chi!
The Thousand Birds pierced the man's heart without a doubt, creating a bloody hole in his chest. Blood and foam flew out from behind the man's chest and splattered all over the ground.
"Ah, um..." the man stammered, but Sasuke wasn't in the mood to listen to what he was saying.
Roar!
Just then, a dragon made of earth and stones descended from above, its expression ferocious.
Sasuke looked up and saw an assassin with his hands clasped together; it was he who had summoned the earth dragon.
"Boring." Sasuke's eyes gradually turned red, and his three tomoe spun. In an instant, he predicted the trajectory of the earth dragon's attack. He withdrew his hand, leaving the man lying dead on the ground, and at the same time, he flipped over and leaped onto the earth dragon's back, drawing the sword from his waist.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
"Earth Release·Earth Rock Wall!"
"Water Release·Water Fang Blade!"
From different directions, the three assassins' hands flew about, finally clenching together and letting out a sudden shout.
Instantly, the earth dragon's back trembled slightly, and stone walls rose up around Sasuke, surrounding him and restricting his retreat.
Sasuke remained expressionless, flipped over, and was about to leave the spot when, at that moment, blue and white lightning balls and weasel-shaped water blades followed closely behind.
The lightning ball and the water blade intersected and merged, with the water blade taking the lead. It sliced through all obstacles with a hissing sound, and behind the water blade, there were streaks of blue and white trails, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, which were even more clearly visible in this weather.
"Is this all the strength you have? Nothing special." Sasuke's disdainful laughter came from within the stone wall. Then, a beam of lightning shot out from it, piercing through the heavens and earth, and gathered in Sasuke's hand.
"Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!"
Sasuke remained calm, waved his hand downwards, and with a hiss, the water blade shattered, the lightning crackled, and the stone wall and stone dragon were cut in two, collapsing and falling downwards with a crash.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Large amounts of soil crashed to the ground, creating deep craters and raising clouds of dust. The broken water blades, propelled by the lightning, sliced through countless trees in their path.
"Just over two years ago, he was only a genin," someone exclaimed, their voice filled with shock.
Those people were also from the Anbu. Although not everyone had the strength of a Jonin, they still had the strength of an elite Chunin. Even with the three of them working together, he still managed to break through their defenses so quickly.
This means that Sasuke's current strength is at least above that of an average Jonin.
"As expected of a descendant of the Uchiha clan, their talent is truly terrifying." An ANBU ninja exclaimed in astonishment.
What he saw before him took him by surprise. Sasuke was decisive and had exceptional combat experience. Except for being hit a few times by one of the Jonin assassins, he could basically kill the others in one fell swoop.
The arena was filled with thunderous sounds, booming and rumbling, and streaks of blue and white lightning filled the air, resembling a giant high-voltage electric grid that had captured all the assassins.
It was as if they were all just fish on Sasuke's chopping board.
Whoosh~ Boom~
At this moment, the weather grew even darker, the raindrops grew larger, and occasional claps of thunder sounded, as if congratulating Sasuke.
"Are we just going to watch him kill all these people?" one of the ANBU asked, watching Sasuke roam the area and wreak havoc.
Those people also belonged to Konoha's forces, and it would not benefit Konoha if they were all lost here.
“Hmm, that makes sense.” A Jonin from the Anbu nodded and said slowly, “Let’s go stop him, but remember, don’t hurt him.”
"Yes!"
They believed that although Sasuke was aloof, he wouldn't kill his own people.
Unfortunately, they were wrong. Sasuke wasn't in a good mood to begin with. If they had made a move, Sasuke might not have killed them, but he could have easily crippled them.
Fortunately, just as they were about to act, a terrifying chakra locked onto them, rendering them unable to move.
"Don't interfere in their fight."
A voice suddenly rang in their ears, like a thunderclap, almost making their hearts explode.
who?
They arrived before them silently. Keep in mind that even the weakest among them possessed the strength of an elite Chunin.
At this moment, the culprit appeared before them. He had long black hair, white eyes, and a handsome appearance. Who else could it be but Neji?
"Don't interfere with their fight, just watch." Neji released them from their restraints and said calmly.
"Yes, Lord Neji." The ANBU replied respectfully, showing great deference to Neji.
This is natural. In terms of prestige alone, even Tsunade is far inferior to Neji in Konoha.
At this moment, Kakashi and the others slowly emerged from the shadows behind Neji, which sent chills down the spines of the Anbu members and left them utterly shocked.
So many people came, yet they didn't notice a single one of them. Were they concealed by Neji...?
Unconsciously, their admiration for Neji rose to a new level.
"Hmm? Neji." Sasuke, who was in the middle of the battle, naturally noticed Neji and the others. He immediately smiled and smiled. He had been wanting to get revenge on Neji for a long time.
