"They won’t send just one pursuer," said Torifu.
There was no way the enemy had only sent this one idiot. There had to be more of them on the way.
"We’re moving out!"
There was no reason to linger. This wasn’t Konoha’s territory. They couldn’t co and go as they pleased without consequences.
After sealing the corpse of the Yuki ninja, the team imdiately retreated. Not long after, nurous figures erged behind them, and the mist thickened dramatically.
"That idiot Yuki... I told him to slow down, but would he listen? Look what happened. Got taken out by Konoha’s shinobi like it was nothing. What a disgrace to us Kirigakure ninja."
The speaker had gray hair, two red dots above his eyebrows, and dark red circles around his eyes. When Torifu saw him, his expression darkened.
"Kaguya Clan..."
One by one, more figures erged—not just Kaguya, but mbers of the Yuki clan and other Kirigakure shinobi as well. They completely surrounded the trio, leaving no way out.
"Break through!" Torifu ordered grimly. "Expansion Jutsu!"
In an instant, he transford into a giant.
"Human Boulder!"
His body curled into a ball and rolled forward at high speed, smashing through the encirclent with overwhelming force. Abura Shibi and Kiyosuke quickly followed.
"Stop them!"
The Kirigakure shinobi moved to block Torifu’s charge, but the sheer montum and power of the Human Boulder tore open a path like a battering ram.
"I’ve got this!"
Fuguki Suikazan appeared. He wasn’t wielding Sahada and remained in human form, bracing both hands to halt Torifu’s advance. With Sahada on his back feeding him chakra, he actually managed to stop the attack.
With a sneer, he said, "Is that all y—"
Before he could finish, a hand shot out, clamping down hard on his torso. Blood sprayed from his mouth as Sahada’s spikes stabbed backward into the attacker. Torifu winced from the pain and let go.
From behind him, Kiyosuke lunged forward. Fuguki swung Sahada in one swift motion—decapitating Kiyosuke.
But even that didn’t stop the assault. Kiyosuke’s body detonated in a flash.
BOOM—
Fuguki and Sahada were blasted through the air. Kiyosuke, pale-faced, quickly reford his body and chased after them, snatching up Sahada mid-air.
Sahada, being alive and sentient, naturally resisted being taken. Spikes erupted from its tail, piercing through Kiyosuke’s palm—but only passed through fire. Nothing happened.
In fact, Sahada got burned.
With a pained screech, the sword writhed violently in an attempt to break free. But Kiyosuke held on tight.
"Quiet."
He slamd Sahada against the ground over and over again, hard enough to daze even the living blade. With each impact, it let out pitiful, muffled howls.
"Spit out the chakra you ate!"
Sahada could convert the chakra it consud and feed it back to its wielder. Kiyosuke was currently low on chakra, and Sahada had plenty to spare—so he was going to take it.
Sahada shook its head frantically. No way. It had eaten plenty of delicious chakra—now soone just wanted to take it? What happened to dignity? It was still Sahada, damn it!
"Hand over Sahada!" a Kirigakure shinobi shouted, launching a jet of water from his mouth.
Kiyosuke swung Sahada. The blade opened wide and devoured the jutsu in one gulp—then belched.
"Where’s the scroll to summon back the Seven Swords?"
"Still in the camp!"
"Are you kidding —?"
"Then take Sahada back by force!"
"Understood!"
"Give that chakra!" Kiyosuke growled. Flas erupted from his palm, turning Sahada into a ball of fire.
Sahada opened its mouth to eat the fire, but it only grew hotter and hotter. The living blade twisted and thrashed, trying to escape—but Kiyosuke’s grip was like iron. At last, it gave in, funneling the chakra it had consud into Kiyosuke’s body.
As his chakra surged, even stronger than before, Kiyosuke nodded in satisfaction. He didn’t release Sahada, though. He just treated it as his new weapon.
"Bastard!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
A massive water dragon ca roaring toward him. Kiyosuke raised Sahada and smirked.
"Ready, Sahada? Snack ti!"
Sahada eagerly opened wide and swallowed the entire water dragon in one gulp. It wriggled with satisfaction—this chakra tasted just fine.
"His weakness is Water Style!" Jinpachi Munashi shouted. "If he’s hit with water, his body becos tangible!"
Imdiately, several Kirigakure shinobi began forming hand seals.
"Water Style: Exploding Water Shockwave!"
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!"
Kiyosuke leapt high into the air. Torifu shook off a Kirigakure attacker and enlarged one arm to catch him midair, then jumped up to a tree branch.
The forest was flooded again. With so much water in the area, the Kirigakure shinobi would beco even more dangerous.
"Ice Style Secret Technique: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"
Mirrors of ice ford all around Kiyosuke, creating an enclosed do. A figure appeared in each mirror—every surface showed his attacker’s reflection.
"You really think this is enough to take down? Don’t underestimate ."
As soon as the words left his mouth, flas erupted from his body, filling the do. The intense heat lted the icy prison, forcing the Yuki ninja to retreat from his ambush.
anwhile, Abura Shibi and Torifu were still under siege. Kiyosuke imdiately rushed to their aid, cleaving down a Kirigakure shinobi with Sahada.
"Let’s go, Captain Torifu!"
"Go!"
He unleashed a sea of flas, forcing back the enemies. The three fled into the trees.
"Don’t let them escape!"
"Chase them down!"
"Bring them back dead or alive!"
"They’ve still got Sahada!"
Roaring in anger, the Kirigakure shinobi gave chase. Kiyosuke and Shibi struck back repeatedly with jutsu to slow their pursuers, picking up speed.
Whenever enemy jutsu ca their way, Kiyosuke simply fed them to Sahada.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
A thick fog rolled in, making it nearly impossible to see the path ahead.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
A simple C-rank technique—but this ti, empowered by Sahada’s chakra, the blast of wind was anything but ordinary.
The power of a jutsu wasn’t determined solely by its rank—it depended heavily on the chakra fueling it.
Just like when Madara used Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Fla—officially only a B-rank jutsu, but with his chakra, it rivaled an S-rank technique. You’d need a whole squad of Water Style users just to cancel it out.
That was the difference true power made.
With Sahada’s chakra amplifying it, Kiyosuke’s Wind Style swept through the mist like a hurricane, clearing their path.
Torifu imdiately led the charge forward.
The trio retreated in an orderly fashion—but Kirigakure wasn’t about to let them go that easily.
"Ice Style..."
"Water Style..."
"Shikotsumyaku..."
The attacks ca like a tidal wave.
Today, Kirigakure was dead set on killing them.
