Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Has that fat bastard, Suigetsu Hozuki, actually gathered enough intelligence?

In the blink of an eye, their eyes met, and they moved simultaneously.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The low, clanging sounds continued.

Jiraiya's attacks were powerful and heavy, each punch landing squarely, and every strike was covered in chakra, with occasional Rasengan attacks.

Night tried to fight back using his physical skills.

But after only a few moves, he felt his hands and arms go numb from the shock.

It's not that there's a huge difference in their physical skills; Ye's hand-to-hand combat skills are undoubtedly top-notch, even in the Blood Mist Village.

Despite their superb skills, the two were simply too far apart in terms of physical fitness.

Yoru is only fourteen years old and his body hasn't fully developed yet, while Jiraiya is in his prime.

As a result, after only a few rounds of clashes, Ye had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"call out!"

Another Rasengan came hurtling towards us, the chakra overflowing into the air creating a streaking effect, which in turn triggered a sonic boom.

Ye's pupils contracted slightly, as if trying to dodge.

"Don't even think about hiding!"

"Ninjutsu: Heart Turning Technique!"

New book, please read it!!!

Chapter 13 Empty Cicada

"Ninjutsu: Heart Turning Technique!"

Suppressing his grief over his comrade's death, Yamanaka Inoichi seized the opportunity, flipped his hands together, and unleashed his mental shock.

Ye's body, which was trying to dodge, froze in mid-air for a breath.

A breath is a fleeting moment, but for someone of Jiraiya's caliber, it's enough to end the battle!

Even after just one breath, Yamanaka Inoichi opened his eyes in disbelief, spitting out blood and turning deathly pale.

Even after just one breath, Ye's eyes regained their clarity instantly.

[Ding! Successfully completed Rank A objective 'Yama no Inoichi' mission (Part 2): Reward: 5000 points.]

The system voice sounded in his ear, but Jiraiya's Rasengan had already landed heavily on Yoru's chest!

The force of the blast sent Ye flying, and at the same time, countless parasitic insects began to fly out from the surrounding bushes, instantly enveloping and binding Ye's flying body.

Jiraiya didn't hesitate at all after finishing with a punch. The moment his body landed and he stood firm, his mouth bulged out.

"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"

A burst of fireballs erupted from Jiraiya's mouth, instantly engulfing the figure completely bound and enveloped by the parasitic insects.

With the help of oil condensed from chakra, the power of this fire release technique is beyond imagination.

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of parasitic insects and everything in them were completely burned, leaving not even ashes.

"Is it resolved?"

Holding the weakened Yamanaka Gaichi in his arms, Akimichi looked at the empty ground where not even ashes remained and said in a deep voice.

"Do not."

Jiraiya shook his head, his expression extremely serious: "That kid got away."

"That guy's Body Flicker Technique is extremely unique. Even though my Parasite Worm keeps absorbing his chakra, I can't stop him from escaping."

Aburame Shiki adjusted her sunglasses: "The moment Jiraiya-sama unleashed his Fire Release technique, that guy had already vanished. What my swarm of insects bound was nothing more than a piece of clothing."

"To simply disappear from the swarm, rather than break free?"

Jiraiya fell silent. This method could only be a space-time ninjutsu!

However, there were still pieces of clothing left behind when they escaped, so it seems they weren't very skilled at this trick...

but.

Space-time ninjutsu is space-time ninjutsu. Even if it is not fully mastered, it is still space-time ninjutsu.

The influence of someone who has mastered space-time ninjutsu on a war is enormous, as can be seen from his own disciple.

That's the power of someone who single-handedly killed dozens of Iwa ninja Jonin in an instant, cutting off the enemy's supply lines. And he could even toy with two top-tier Kumogakure ninja!

The thought that the threat his disciple posed to the enemy in this war might have a reverse effect on Konoha sent chills down Jiraiya's spine!

"Cough cough cough..."

A violent cough interrupted Jiraiya's thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw that Yamanaka Inoichi was extremely listless and looked dazed.

This is clearly the result of a backlash from ninjutsu!

That guy was actually able to break through Yamanaka Inoichi's Mind Transfer Technique in an instant during a battle of this level, and even inflict such a terrifying backlash on Inoichi...

Jiraiya's heart sank completely. They had failed to capture that guy this time, and they were likely to be in big trouble the next time they clashed!

"Chongza, Shiwei, take Haiyi and Shikaku with you, let's go to Shuangtian Village first!"

"Yes!"

miles away.

On the night of their escape, they continuously activated their Instant Step, weaving through the bushes.

His condition was also very poor.

Although he managed to dodge the final, deadly attack with the help of the empty cicada, Jiraiya's punch still landed squarely on his body.

"hiss……"

Ye touched his ribs, and a piercing pain surged through him.

He had at least two broken ribs, some of which were even embedded in his internal organs.

The sharp pain that kept emanating from his right eye beneath the white bandage was a constant reminder that his newly transplanted Sharingan was already overloaded.

"Truly worthy of being one of the Legendary Sannin and a ninja of Konoha."

After confirming that no one was chasing him and that there were no parasitic insects or similar creatures around, Ye stopped under a large tree, baring his teeth, and raised his hand to his chest.

A gentle light burst forth from the palm of the night, a warm sensation welling up in my heart, followed by a tingling and aching feeling.

A moment later, Ye lowered her hand; the pain in her chest had subsided considerably.

"With my current abilities, healing this kind of injury is still a bit troublesome. For now, this is all I can do. I need to hurry back and get Yumi here..."

Yoru's mastery of the Way of Return is not very advanced, because most of his time is spent practicing the Way of Breaking and the Way of Binding, and the rest of his time is spent training in things that can be used for combat, such as Shunpo, Hakuda, and swordsmanship.

Night only has a superficial understanding of auxiliary techniques like the Returning Path.

After slightly stabilizing his injuries, Night continued towards the Hidden Mist base. But before Night could take a few steps, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the forest in front of him, followed by an overwhelming surge of chakra!

Night's steps abruptly stopped, and she looked in the direction of the surging chakra, her pupils shrinking sharply.

He sensed several familiar auras!

Loquat Juzo, Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, Chestnut Kushimaru...

Chakra perception is never wrong; the intense battle ahead is definitely fought by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, because he would never mistake the aura of his superior, Kushimaru Kurihara, among them.

And the fact that they could fight the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to such an extent, especially within the Land of Fire...

"Damn it, it can't be such a coincidence."

Ye cursed under his breath, and without the slightest hesitation, turned and left.

What, you mean go help the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?

Are you kidding me? That's the father of youth, the father who kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a lucky trio!

The fight with Jiraiya made Yoru realize his own weaknesses.

His combat skills are in no way inferior to those of these top ninjas. In addition, with the superiority of Shunpo over Shunshin and the unpredictability and information gaps of Kido, Yoru's hand-to-hand combat strength is fully capable of fighting against the top masters in the ninja world. However, the difficulty of winning is extremely high.

The reason is simple: Ye's physical strength is insufficient!

This body is only fourteen years old this year. Even though Ye has done a good enough job, the bodies of those ninja world's strongmen have all been tempered by countless battles and chakra.

Not to mention monsters like Might Guy who dedicated their lives to hand-to-hand combat.

How can we fight this? We can't hit it at all.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye turned and left.

Just as he was about to leave, a terrifying force suddenly blew him away, and then a familiar figure with an afro flew straight towards where Ye was.

"boom!!"

The figure crashed straight into the tree stump beside Night, and his most beloved ninja sword, Sewing Needle, was now deeply embedded in his abdomen, pinning him firmly to the tree behind him.

Chapter 14 Minazukiyo's Twenty-Four Hours of Hell

"Cough cough..."

His mask shattered, blood gushed from his mouth, and Kushimaru's aura rapidly declined, but his gaze was fixed on the night.

"Night... I didn't expect you to be here too. Was that the intense chakra battle to the east just now?"

[A B-rank target from the same faction, 'Kurihara Kushimaru,' has been detected. Side quest triggered.]

Mission (1): Rescue Kushimaru Kurihara and bring him back to Kirigakure; Mission Reward: 5000 points!

-

"I was just beaten up by your assassination target and his gang, and I almost died there, Lord Kurihara Kushimaru."

Upon hearing the system's voice, Night's hand emanated a glow of echoing light, which landed on Kurihara Kushimaru's abdomen, which was pierced by stitches.

However, Kushimaru's aura continued to decline rapidly, and in just a few breaths, his face turned deathly pale.

"Your eyes are injured... I'm sorry you ran into an opponent of that caliber. There was a huge oversight in our intelligence, and Konoha actually had such a trump card... Might Guy..."

“This level of healing is useless, don’t waste your chakra. Also, you’ve successfully drawn my attention, but now I have a brand new task for you.”

Kushimaru grabbed Yoru's hand, stopping him from releasing the return, and instead placed his palm on the hilt of the sewing needle.

"Take the ninja sword back to Kirigakure!"

"Lord Kurisuke Kushimaru..."

Ye frowned deeply.

"Not only the stitches, but also the guillotine that Juzo and the others used to behead them, you must take them back."

“That guy may be a monster, but you… you know, I’ve always had high hopes for you. This mission may be a bit difficult, but if it’s you, you’ll definitely have no problem with it.”

"No matter what... the Hidden Mist's ninja swords cannot be taken away by Konoha..."

Before he finished speaking, Kushimaru's aura completely dissipated, but his hand still gripped Yoru's hand tightly.

She was also gripping the stitches tightly.

Looking at the lifeless Kushimaru Kurishari, and then at the battlefield that was getting closer and closer and had even begun to be filled with water, Yoru didn't know what to say.

How am I supposed to fight that? That guy's a father of youth, I'd rather use my head to hit him!

The rescue mission failed. Yoru pulled the sewing needle from Kushimaru's body, took out a sealing scroll from his waist, and sealed it along with Kushimaru's corpse inside. He then prepared to pack up and retreat.

But the next moment, the bushes in front of Ye suddenly exploded, and a terrifying chakra hurricane swept past.

Although the terrifying shockwave did not hit Yoru, it destroyed all the trees in front of him, completely exposing him to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and Might Guy.
