However, Mizuki stopped Kakashi Hatake who was eager to try.

"Let me do it. I'm more useful at times like this."

Since he has used the Sage Mode, he cannot waste the opportunity. Although his physical skills are not as good as Kakashi's, his advantage in basic abilities still makes Mizuki not afraid of these fancy tricks. He can just crush them the fastest. If he fails to handle it well, there is also Hatake Kakashi to clean up the mess.

"You? In terms of killing efficiency, I have the advantage. As long as I get close and disrupt their formation, it's actually very easy to deal with them."

This method of borrowing external forces has actually never been favored by mainstream ninjas in the ninja world. In this era, although the technology tree has been skewed, it has generally maintained a considerable level. Pure thermal weapons have been developed to a relatively mature level. Powerful artillery is used from time to time in some wars. Even in the fights between ninja villages, there are many explosive weapons that have been transformed and use chakra and ninjutsu to play a role. Just like the attack on Mizuki and his group this time, they are either special weapons or modified to fire micro-shells with chakra properties. It is a common method used by many ninjas who are not strong enough and have no talent. Even Pain's Shura Road is very fond of this attack method.

However, its own inferior quality makes it quite weak when its advantages cannot be used. More importantly, this method is actually very expensive, much more expensive than the pure ninja detonation tags. It is generally only used in special circumstances. As long as this tactic is used on a large scale regardless of the cost, it is also a very effective killer.

It's a pity that he ran into Mizuki, and this method would not bring too much trouble. Mizuki did not directly answer Hatake Kakashi's question, but circulated his chakra, and then a layer of light blue chakra shield appeared in front of him, covering most of his body.

"Chakra shield?" Kakashi's eyes lit up. "Is this what Sakura used in the Chunin Exam? If you use it, what can you achieve?"

"It's enough to cover your surprise attack."

Even the Iron Sand Technique used by the Sand Kazekage's human puppet could be effectively resisted. This kind of explosion and shock wave, which had no other characteristics except for its enormous power, was actually the attack method that Mizuki was best at defending against.

"That's the best." If you can avoid taking risks, you'd better be safe. It's not worth it to die together with these cannon fodders whose names you don't even know.

"Follow me, and when you see the chance, strike. I'll cover you."

"no problem."

The plan was set, and Mizuki immediately began to charge forward. The two of them were already somewhat familiar with each other, and their cooperation was quite tacit. Mizuki, who was in the front, blocked most of the attacks. Kakashi followed behind at the right time, looking for a target to attack.

As the two approached, the enemies began to get nervous and involuntarily scattered.

“The first one!”

Kakashi, who was cruising, suddenly passed Mizuki and rushed forward. In the horrified eyes of a burly man whose arms were transformed into cannon barrels, he pierced his heart with a kunai.

"Good opportunity, keep attacking, Kakashi."

Hatake Kakashi understood the situation and took advantage of the chaos in the enemy's formation to speed up again, piercing the throat of a man who was still fleeing in panic and carrying something like a howitzer on his shoulders. It seemed that he would die. This was not the end. The skilled and courageous "Konoha technician" ignored the attacks from all directions and once again stabbed a kunai into the eye socket of an enemy and directly into his brain.

"It's my turn."

Kakashi Hatake, who was in danger, obviously had no time to dodge. Mizuki flew forward to cover Kakashi Hatake. The huge explosion shock wave was reflected back to Mizuki along the chakra shield, pushing Mizuki back again and again. However, this level of vibration was really not worth mentioning. The giant hand of natural energy turned upside down in a bowl shape, covering Kakashi Hatake, blocking the last two fish that slipped through the net.

The explosions were continuous and powerful, and the smoke and vapor produced completely obscured the vision, making it impossible to see the effectiveness of the attack.

While the remaining few were still waiting for the smoke to clear, Kakashi's lightning-fast figure rushed out of the mist again, and a burly man who was a little slower became the victim of the sword again. At the same time, Mizuki did not miss this opportunity. A sneaky man who was about to attack suddenly felt his neck tightened, and with a crisp sound, his head tilted to the side and could no longer move.

The continuous high-intensity attacks made Kakashi Hatake a little overwhelmed, and he had to retreat to Mizuki to rest for a while.

"Well done, Kakashi."

The reaction was instantaneous and there was almost no mistake. Half of the enemies were killed in the blink of an eye.

"In fact, we should have asked the ANBU captain from the Hidden Mist Village to come over. He's become weak after killing so many people."

"It's not bad, at least the result is not bad. Now it seems that these guys will have a hard time achieving anything."

This is the result of relying on external forces. When the number of people drops to a certain value, the barrage of attacks will be too sparse, and there will inevitably be some loopholes in the mutual cover. For a skilled ninja, this is an opportunity to defeat the enemy.

After so many years of development in the ninja world, high-powered explosive thermal weapons are still somewhat useful, but individual combat firearms are almost nowhere to be seen because there is absolutely no market for them. Ninjas are not afraid of them at all, and it would be better to shoot a few kunai with explosive talismans.

Shuimu looked at the situation and saw that there were less than ten enemies, so victory was assured.

"The opponent's tactics were well planned, but it seems that they didn't grasp the rhythm well, so we were able to defeat them one by one. If the two groups of people had connected properly, we wouldn't have won so easily."

"Yeah." Kakashi nodded in agreement. "Could it be that something happened to the other leader, or that the person who came up with the idea isn't here at all? The contrast between the excellent tactics and the poor execution is too great..."

"It's possible. If that's the case, then Lord Jiraiya might have a lot of trouble. It seems that a lot of combat power has been transferred away. Did Orochimaru discover something?"

Just as the two were catching their breath, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the corner of the barrier not far away. The attack was so powerful that it caused the barrier to shake violently.

"It seems that the other side hasn't given up yet." Shuimu turned around and looked, "The barrier is still maintained, so it's not a big problem."

"That's good." The sudden change made Kakashi a little worried. "Leave this to me. You go back and take charge of the situation. If possible, capture him alive."
