In the dark jungle, several shadows in black clothing jumped and moved among the trees.
Every ti they advanced a bit, these figures would hide behind the trees!
Not far ahead, a group was walking slowly, seemingly unaware of the ninja following them.
"Shisui, we've been tracking them for a while now. They haven't noticed us, right?" At that mont, one of the team mbers approached the leader with a serious tone.
Since leaving the Hidden Leaf Village, they had been moving quickly. They were lying in wait at the border of the Land of Lightning, and now the target group was about to cross into the Land of Lightning.
"They shouldn't have noticed us. If they did, they would be moving faster!" Uchiha Shisui whispered as he observed the group ahead.
If the Cloud Village ninjas realized they were being followed, their pace would definitely not be so slow.
"I've been watching. We're three kiloters from the Land of Lightning, and there's no one within a kiloter around!" Another ninja with Byakugan ca over, sounding sowhat relaxed.
As a reconnaissance ninja, he was always alert to his surroundings.
"Get ready. As soon as the Cloud Village ninjas enter the Land of Lightning, we attack!" Uchiha Shisui nodded, and then they communicated with their team behind them.
They had a total of fourteen elite Jonin. If a fight broke out, they would have the advantage.
As Shisui finished speaking, the others nodded in agreent. Each of them produced a kunai and shuriken, ready for action.
In the Cloud Village ninja team, a sensory ninja walked forward and quietly said to Dodai: "Dodai-sama, they're about to make their move!"
While speaking, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Dodai-sama.
Just as Dodai had predicted, the Leaf Village ninjas were indeed planning to attack as soon as they entered the Land of Lightning.
"Keep moving forward. Don't give anything away; our reinforcents are just ahead!" Dodai nodded, maintaining a steady pace as if they were simply traveling.
They continued walking, everything appearing calm.
However, just as the Cloud Village ninjas entered the Land of Lightning, the sound of cutting air rang out.
The Cloud Village ninjas remained alert at all tis!
As the sound of sothing slicing through the air rang out, everyone reacted quickly, dodging the shurikens flying toward them.
So used kunai to deflect the shurikens!
In an instant!
The Cloud ninjas huddled together, forming a tight group.
Swish, swish, swish~~
At the sa ti, fourteen people dressed in black appeared in front of the Cloud ninjas, surrounding them.
"Are you ninjas sent by Konoha?" Dodai looked at the approaching group, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth. "Fourteen elite Jonin, and even mbers of the Hyuga clan. It seems like the Third Hokage is determined to take my life!"
Dodai couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
"Hmph! Dodai, you are using the peace between our two nations to threaten the Third Hokage into taking my Hyuga clan leader's life!" A mber of the Hyuga clan had a cold glint in their eyes as their chakra surged within them. "Dodai, I will take your life to avenge the unjust death of a Hyuga clan mber!"
Now that their identities were revealed, there was no need to hide!
After all, they would use their Byakugan abilities in battle.
Moreover, they couldn't go back to Konoha to demand an explanation for what happened in the Land of Lightning.
"Haha! To think you want to take Lord Dodai's life; you have such courage!" Just as the two sides were in a standoff, thirty more people quickly rushed in from a distance, led by a middle-aged man whose voice bood like thunder.
Clang, clang!
Seeing these thirty people appear, Uchiha Shisui and the Hyuga clan mbers felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. A thought suddenly arose in their minds.
They had been fooled!
It seed Dodai had long arranged for an ambush at the border of the Land of Lightning, just waiting for them to show up.
While they were still in shock, the newcors had already surrounded Uchiha Shisui and his group, ready for battle!
"This is bad; we're surrounded!" The Uchiha clan mbers felt a tightness in their chests upon realizing the situation, knowing tonight would turn into a bloody battle. "Shisui, if you get the chance, just escape!"
"No way! I'll hold them off; you all need to find a way to run!" Uchiha Shisui resolutely shook his head, understanding that only he could hold these top-level ninjas back.
If anyone else tried to stall, it would only lead to death.
Their plan had already failed; now, all they could do was break through and escape!
As he spoke, his hands slowly raised, and several shadow clones began to appear on either side.
The battle hadn't even started yet, but Uchiha Shisui was already making a big move.
"Shadow clones? You're the Shisui of the Body Flicker? It seems the Hokage is really angry to send out a Uchiha genius like you. This is interesting!" The middle-aged man leading the group felt a surge of excitent.
Shisui of the Body Flicker was one of Konoha's top fighters. If he could kill Shisui here, then the Land of Lightning would be rid of a powerful enemy.
"And anyone who dares invade the Land of Lightning and attack the Hidden Cloud ninjas, kill them all—leave no one alive!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, his body was instantly covered in lightning, and he charged into the crowd of Konoha ninjas.
This sturdy middle-aged man was from a branch of the Raikage's family. He was a strong body technique user with lightning chakra, even more powerful than a top-ranking jōnin.
In battle, he was fierce and terrifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fight began, and in an instant, dozens of trees around them were knocked down by the shockwaves of the battle! Blood was spilling everywhere.
In just a short ti, the area was filled with a bloody stench.
The Konoha ninjas had all sustained various injuries, and three had already lost their lives. As the battle continued, there would be even more casualties among the Konoha ninjas.
"Run! Hurry and escape!" Uchiha Shisui was struggling against the attacks from the middle-aged man and two others. He was already running out of clones and could only urge his clan mbers to leave quickly.
However, the other Uchiha clan mbers were entangled with the Cloud ninjas and couldn't escape at all.
He felt an imnse sense of urgency. Before they ca out, he had promised to bring his clan mbers back safely, but now it was hard for them to even get away.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious Shisui beca.
He started to lose focus.
Just at that mont, a ninja with a long blade charged at him from behind.
His shadow clones were tangled up with two enemies, and even with the Body Flicker Technique, he could only barely hold them off. He didn't notice the ambush from behind.
"Watch out!"
At that mont, a mber of the Uchiha clan appeared in front of him, taking the knife on his chest. Then he flipped the kunai in his hand and stabbed at the enemy in front.
"Shit, you..." Shisui felt sothing was off, freezing in place with his pupils dilating in shock. "Why are you so foolish? I have the Body Flicker Technique; he can't hurt !"
Another clan mber died before him.
He quickly retreated, supporting the injured Toji who was about to fall. Looking at the severely wounded Toji, tears began to well up in his eyes.
He started to regret taking this mission. If he hadn't led the team, they wouldn't have been ambushed!
"Don't feel guilty, kid. I was already injured before. I did that just to take out one more Cloud Ninja. Heh, killing three isn't a loss. Don't cry!" Toji, the Uchiha, forced a smile, but blood kept spilling from his mouth.
"Shisui, promise you'll leave here. You're a genius of our Uchiha clan and the hope for our future. You must live... live on!"
His voice grew weaker, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Ahh~~
The battle continued. In just a few breaths, two more Uchiha clan mbers were killed!
What should I do... what should I do...
Hearing the screams of his clan mbers, his heart raced faster, and his ears buzzed.
He felt dazed.
At the sa ti, the three tomoe in his Sharingan began to spin rapidly, changing!
A unique chakra emanated from Uchiha Shisui.
