Chapter 18: Hard Fight



The three of them watched the thick fog approaching with caution. Before they saw the enemy, they felt a large amount of chakra erupting on the bridge in the distance.

"Is Kakashi also in a tough fight? It seems that the opponent has calculated the timing well. Our intelligence is at a disadvantage and we are exposed first." Mizuki was anxious. Kakashi could not be relied on, and it was hard to say about Ibiki. It would be difficult to launch a surprise attack in this situation. A head-on battle would depend on strength.

The three were gradually swallowed by the thick fog, and they stood in a V-shape with their backs to each other, on guard.

"Be careful, there are four people on the opposite side." Mizuki is the only one among the three who has the ability to detect in the thick fog. "They are the Kirigakure assassination team. This is trouble."

"Do you want to attack?" Moonlight Gale asked Shancheng Qingye. Qingye was the strongest among the three.

"See if we can negotiate first. Directly fighting the Kirigakure ninja will lead to a war. Let's ask them their purpose first."

Gradually, four vague figures emerged from the fog. The leader was very young with white hair, and the remaining three had red, green, and blue hair respectively.

"The three primary colors of light, there is nothing unexpected in the ninja world." Looking at the four masked men, Yamashiro Aoba was the first to ask, "Are you the Kirigakure assassination team? What are you doing breaking into Konoha's mission site?"

A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the white-haired man in the lead; "Our target is the rebel ninja Zabuza and the beheading sword in his hand." The latter sentence was especially emphasized.

"So we have no intention of becoming enemies with Konoha, as long as you leave here."

"We can't do this. We have a mission to accomplish."

"Oh, so you're going to interfere in Kirigakure's internal affairs?"

"Tsk, a traitor ninja, can he still be considered a Kirigakure ninja?" Mizuki retorted.

"Does that mean we can't come to an agreement? In fact, it's best for both sides to get what they want. Since you don't want to." The other party said grimly, "That's great. I'll kill you all and plunder the Kingdom of Waves."

The negotiations broke down and the fighting immediately became intense.

Among the three Konoha members, Yamashiro Aoba is the strongest, but his ninjutsu is not suitable for this kind of environment. Gekkou Gale is good at swordsmanship and ninjutsu, but his body is a hidden danger and he cannot fight for a long time. Mizuki, although mediocre, is the one with the fewest weaknesses among the three, and has the best physical fitness. With the detection ability of some temporary aquatic summoning beasts, he is the one who can exert his strength the most.

"The leader on the opposite side is a master of swordsmanship, you go and stop him." Yamashiro Aoba ordered Yueguang Jifeng.

"Okay, leave it to me." Moonlight Gale leaped forward.

Mizuki and Yamashiro Aoba took advantage of the situation by outnumbering three by two. The three opponents did not seem to be very strong and were barely holding on by relying on a combined attack technique.

The situation was in a stalemate. Shuimu looked at the other side. The white-haired boy on the opposite side seemed to have good swordsmanship, and was on par with Moonlight Gale. However, the opponent was young and should be at a disadvantage in physical strength. Of course, Moonlight Gale's health was also in bad condition, but it was not a big problem for the time being.

Thinking of this, Shuimu said to Yamashiro Aoba, "Buy me some time." After that, he took out the scroll of summoning beast, bit his finger, and began to make seals and cast spells.

Yamashiro Aoba quickly stood in front of Mizuki: "Fire Style, Great Fireball Technique."

A huge fireball broke through the thick fog and flew towards the three people, causing a huge explosion. Although the casualties were limited, it forced the enemy back.

"Spirition." Shuimu did not waste the opportunity. A wave of runes spread along the waves, and spots of light appeared underwater. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that their bodies were exactly the same as water.

"Get ready to charge, follow me." There was no other way. Without a tank, I had to do it myself. The opponent was not a master either, so the chances of winning were very high.

He threw three shurikens at three people, and then charged at the cost of his life. The three people on the opposite side were about to dodge, but suddenly they all screamed. One of them was hit directly by the shuriken, and his arm was cut off. One hand immediately lost its combat power. Another was directly bullied by Mizuki and stabbed in the chest with a kunai. Another was stabbed in the stomach by Yamashiro Aoba, and was seriously injured. The poisonous jellyfish is not just a casual remark.

"Well done, Mizuki."

"There is no threat here for now. I'll go over there to provide support. Be careful."

"good."

Mizuki took a breath and ran to another battlefield.

"We should be prepared and unintentional, and strive for a quick victory."

Moonlight Gale had been fighting with the white-haired boy for a long time, but the outcome was still unclear. With his Konoha-style swordsmanship and body, he was not suitable for this style of fighting. A single blow was the fighting style he was good at. Although he had an obvious advantage in strength, he was restricted by his vision and environment and fell into a protracted battle.

"Hmm? There seems to be something underwater? Is it Shuimu's summoned beast?" Moonlight Gale couldn't help but feel delighted, "They've won, support is coming."

While carefully dealing with the opponent, observe the underwater clues and lure the opponent into the trap step by step.

"Seal, sealing formation." Suddenly several rays of light flashed from underwater and enveloped the white-haired young man, instantly binding him so that he could not move. Moonlight Gale did not waste the opportunity, and performed the Crescent Moon Dance, cutting the opponent's throat with one knife, stabbing him in the chest with another, and chopping off the hand holding the knife with another.

"We won." Moonlight Wind, who had been fighting for a long time, relaxed.

"Be careful." Shuimu, who was assisting from the side, noticed something was wrong and said, "Retreat quickly."

The white-haired boy suddenly turned into a pool of water, and then a stream of water pierced directly into Moonlight Gale's stomach, leaving him no time to dodge as he was retreating rapidly.

"Asshole, it's actually Hozuki Suigetsu. He's so strong at this age. There are too many monsters in the ninja world. Why hasn't this guy been captured by Orochimaru yet?"

Shuimu quickly responded to Moonlight Gale.

The young man who should have died appeared again, raised the steel knife in his hand again, and killed several immortal jellyfish that had been cultivated for a long time underwater with just a few cuts.

"It's a big loss." Shuimu didn't dare to stay for long, and escorted the seriously injured Moonlight Gale to Yamashiro Aoba. Although Shuimu's strength was not much worse than that of the current Kizuki, and was even slightly stronger, and Kizuki's energy consumption was not small, if Shuimu used all his strength, he could fight Kizuki for a long time, but the key was to bring a seriously injured Moonlight Gale, which was completely different. Kizuki's moves were aimed at Moonlight Gale, leaving Shuimu no room to dodge, and he was completely at a disadvantage. He was gradually chopped all over his body and could not hold on for long.

When Mizuki, who was fighting and retreating, finally saw the figure of Yamashiro Aoba in front of him, he thought he should breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Yamashiro Aoba was in an even worse condition than himself.

"What's going on?" Shuimu was shocked.

"Poisonous." Yamashiro Aoba replied weakly, kneeling on one knee on the water. One of his thighs was pierced with a hole, and it was obvious that he could not continue to fight. "I thought I had a sure win and that I could get some information from the last one. I was careless. Be careful. The three people on the opposite side are all poisonous. The blood that flows out can spread through the water, making it difficult to guard against it."

"This is really an unexpected situation. I didn't expect that a few useless people could actually be useful." Hozuki Suigetsu appeared. Of the three primary colors, only the red-haired man who was injured in the arm by the shuriken could still fight. The blue-haired man who was stabbed in the chest by Mizuki died on the spot. The green-haired man who was stabbed in the stomach by Yamashiro Aoba was seriously injured and could not fight.

"Lord Shuiyue~" Red Hair came over to report his achievement.

"You are still useful." Shuiyue ignored the red-haired man, turned around and chopped off the green-haired man's head with a knife, "Just kill the useless trash."

"What's going on?" Shuimu really wanted to cry but had no tears. He had just wanted to play a supporting role, but he didn't expect to fight alone. He had an absolute advantage, but was embarrassed by a water-transforming secret technique.

"Shuimu, the situation is over. Go and ask the captain to come and get revenge." Shancheng Qingye knew that the situation was irreversible. "I was careless. It's not your fault."

"That's what I'm saying, big brother with silver hair, you are not our target anyway, so we won't stop you if you leave. As long as you get the beheading sword, I don't care about anything else." It is estimated that Suigetsu Kizuki has consumed a lot of energy.

Shuimu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qingye, Hayate, if I run away alone this time, will the Third Generation let me go?"

After saying that, Shuimu took out the Sealing Scroll and took out a bunch of green potions. He handed them to Shancheng Qingye and Yueguang Jifeng.

"Let's gamble our lives. Inject half a tube into the serious injuries and apply it on the minor injuries. As for the side effects, it depends on your luck."

"What the hell is this?"

"It's a deadly thing, a byproduct of poison research. It's up to you whether to use it or not. I won't be responsible." After saying that, he directly injected a tube of medicine into his right arm. A sharp pain came, and Shuimu screamed in pain.

Seeing that Mizuki was trying his best, Yamashiro Aoba and Gekko Hayate did not hesitate and injected medicine into the injured thigh and abdomen respectively.

"Shui Mu, what did you do? It's really awesome." Yamashiro Aoba grimaced in pain.

"Really? I'll tell you when you survive."

Moonlight Gale also stood up despite the severe pain and said, "The enemy won't be able to hold on for much longer. Just hold on a little longer."

"But the opponent's poison is a problem." Yamashiro Aoba reminded.

"Leave the poison to me. I hope you can still move your bodies."

"Your potion is good. It hurts terribly though."

"That's good."

After that, Shuimu took out another sealed scroll. After opening it, there was a pile of blue liquid inside. Shuimu led it into the water, and then poured all the remaining nutrient solution and splitting potion in his hand into it, and then activated the chakra quickly. The blue liquid quickly spread around and emitted an unpleasant smell.

"Stand here and stay within the blue range."

"What's this?"

"It's a small blue creature. I accelerated its reproduction, which can quickly consume nutrients in the water. The biological toxins are usually decomposed. If not, it can also serve as an isolation." Shuimu explained. There are not many eutrophic water bodies in this world, and many people have never seen green tides.

"Young man on the opposite side, don't underestimate me. Do you want to stop here? Your secret technique is probably not omnipotent." Shuimu tried to end the fatal fight.

"That won't do. I'm determined to get the beheading sword."

"That's nothing we can do." Shui Mu said regretfully, "I'll go first, you two should recover as soon as possible and pay attention to the opponent's water transformation secret technique. I'll buy time."
