The Fact that Watanabe is dead is hard to change.
Even if Kuroto controls Watanabe's corpse with the Tenseigan Soul Descend or with the Puppet Technique, it would still be impossible to fool the Kumo delegation mbers as they might have arranged a secret code for the identification, which is sothing Kuroto doesn't know.
Therefore, Kuroto gave up that plan.
After all, Kumo ninjas aren't idiots, given that there are countless thods to manipulate the dead in the Shinobi World, therefore they too can figure out that the corpse is being controlled, so instead of wasting ti taking such a huge risk, it is better to divert the most bla towards a third party and resolve the contradiction between Konoha and Kumo with a need of forced cooperation irrespective of their choice.
Anyway, as long as Watanabe didn't die in the Hyuga grounds and the person responsible for his death wasn't a Konoha shinobi, Kumo's conspiracy would be a failure.
When he heard the mysterious person ntion the bounty on Watanabe's head, Kumo Jonin's heart tightened.
The Anbu squad captain on the side shouted furiously, "Damn it, you bastard, dare to sneak into Konoha!"
The leader of Kumo envoys was killed in Konoha, even if the deed wasn't done by a Konoha Shinobi, Konoha still has to be sowhat responsible for Watanabe's death, and now that Watanabe's death has been confird at the hands of a bounty hunter, the Anbu squad captain's heart was filled with indignation.
Looking at those fierce eyes under the Hawk Anbu Mask, Suijin lips curved and said playfully, "Who told Iwagakure to put such high bounty on his head? If you want to complain, do it to the Tsuchikage!"
As soon as Suijin said this, Kumo ninjas gritted their teeth in anger, "Iwagakure!"
Kumo's hatred towards Iwa is completely unmasked, after all, Kumo was betrayed by Iwa, as a result of which the Sandai Raikage died in the hands of ten thousand Iwa Shinobi.
The Anbu squad leader didn't hesitate anymore, what he cared about now was to kill the mysterious man and recapture Watanabe's body.
The leader of the Kumo peace delegation was killed in Konoha once this news is spread out, although Konoha's reputation would be affected, this kind of thing is still inevitable given the situation, but if even the culprit responsible is not killed and the corpse isn't recovered then Konoha would completely lose its face.
Therefore, the Anbu squad leader silently signaled his colleague through routine gestures in order to kill the target.
Imdiately, the two Anbu used the Body Flicker technique and rushed towards Suijin from both sides, Suijin just smiled lightly as he could easily make out every attack because he has already activated his Byakugan long ago.
At the sa ti, the Anbu squad leader with the Hawk Anbu Mask threw seven Kunai in a series.
If one was to observe very carefully; he would be able to notice that each of the Kunai was tied with a specially treated tal wire.
These tal wire not only have a very high tensile strength but also doesn't reflect any light, making it very difficult for any normal Shinobi to find them.
'Oh… so they are using formation: 324-AZ-12!' – Suijin is also an Anbu, therefore, he knows almost all these sets of Coordinated attack formations, after all, he too has practiced these attack formations many tis, while conducting Anbu training so he also knows how to break-through them.
Suijin instantly threw several shurikens that accurately hit the incoming kunai while he simultaneously used the Body flicker technique to et the incoming attack of the Anbu coming from the right.
The Anbu on the right was wielding a sword and waved it harshly.
This attack is just a feint, the purpose of which is to force Suijin back to his original place, i.e., the siege circle.
Suijin chuckled lightly and neither did he backed off nor dodged or hide or t the attack, just accelerated further.
"This!?" – The Anbu who waved his sword was surprised, after all, who would rush straight towards an oncoming sword slash?
But before he could recover and make a follow-up offensive, 'Bang!' he flew out with a muffled sound by being heavily punched on the cheek that even broke the Panda Anbu mask he wore, knocking him out in just one blow.
With the Panda knocked out, Suijin didn't stay there any longer and used the inertia of montum that his body was in and directly exerted force on his toes and made a big jump to make a leap out of the encirclent and ran towards Konoha outer wall.
While all this happened in a very short mont, the Hawk Anbu's face under the mask sank, after again instructing his subordinates to call for reinforcents and pass on the latest news to Hokage-Sama, he hurriedly took the other colleagues and chased after Suijin.
The other party was able to break through the Konoha Anbu's collective attack formation as if it was a piece of cake, this shows that either the other party is very familiar with the Anbu formations or is an exceptionally strong shinobi.
In either of the case, he can't be allowed to live anymore!
By now the situation is already far beyond what an Anbu squad leader can handle. He could only report the latest news to the Sandai-Sama and wait for the reinforcents from the village.
Escaping out of the Anbu siege circle, Suijin ca near the outer wall, after so ups and downs.
"Who!?"
The guards on duty imdiately spotted Suijin and identified him as a suspicious individual based on the outfit he was wearing.
The Shinobi team responsible for guarding this section of the outer wall is also a four-man team, consisting of two chunin and two genins.
But what Suijin didn't expect was that of the two Chunin, one turned out to be Hyuga Yui, his fiancé, recognizing her, he couldn't help think silently, 'Uh… what should I do now!?'
Yui didn't recognize the identity of the mysterious person, imdiately took on the Gentle Fist stance, and asked in a clear voice while the ridians around her eyes bulged, "Who are you?"
Suijin didn't answer but thought to himself, 'Can't let her get involved in this, in the first place, Yui is responsible for the internal Hyuga matters, so she shouldn't even be present here!'
Although Suijin was thinking this, that didn't stop his movents and within a fort few monts, he appeared near the two genins and knocked them out cold with furious fist strikes in the gut then imdiately went towards the other chunin and knocked him out cold similarly.
In just a few short monts, the three other ninjas were lying unconscious.
Yui was shocked at the speed and strength the suspicious person displayed here and imdiately rushed towards him.
As a mber of the Hyuga Clan, Yui is naturally very apt in Gentle Fist Style taijutsu, so she tried to stall the other party.
But unfortunately for her, the person she was up against was much more experienced and had much more knowledge of the Hyuga Style Combat, not to ntion he was much stronger compared to her, therefore all the strikes she made were either dodged or countered with minimal movents.
As the battle progressed, her breathing started to get rugged, taking this opportunity, Suijin imdiately hit her abdon with a palm strike, although Yui managed to bring her palm to greet the attack, however, the strength used by Suijin in that attack was much more than she initially estimated so was sent flying.
With a bang, she used the tree to stop herself and looked at Suijin with more caution.
Suijin knew this much wasn't enough to make her give up, but he can't be too hard on her…
So without waiting for her to rush towards him, he flickered before her and tapped at the back part of her neck with his hand, knocking her unconscious.
Suddenly losing consciousness, Yui fell forward and landed on Suijin's shoulder, out cold.
Picking her up lightly, Suijin gently laid her on the ground with her back resting on the tree trunk and muttered slowly, "Please forgive Yui, if I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have given up…"
Being done with that he glanced at the increasingly noisy village and then jumped past the Konoha Outer Wall without looking back and moved outside the village.
At the bottom of his heart, he has already made up his mind, after this matter was over, he has to find a way to increase Yui's strength.
Although Yui has an innocent and kind nature, the Shinobi World is very cruel and doesn't care about innocent and kind people.
Yui has the potential to reach the elite Jonin level, but this isn't enough, her strength has to be much higher.
While Suijin was still thinking about Yui's matters, suddenly two figures stopped in front of him.
Both of them were dressed in Konoha's Anbu gear and Suijin was incredibly familiar with the two of them as they both were none other than the Dog and Monkey of the Team-11 he is part of.
Hatake Kakashi wearing the Dog mask took a closer look at the other party wearing a mysterious outfit and said coldly, "It's ti you stop running, you won't be going any further from here!"
Might Guy, wearing the Monkey mask also said loudly, "You who wants to ruin the hard-won peace between the two nations, I will never allow you to extinguish the flas of youth of Konoha's future!"
