At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto is unable to control his chakra freely, so his fighting power cannot be relied upon for the time being, and he cannot use the Sage Mode at all.

The only one we can rely on at this time is Hinata Hyuga.

How strong can an immortal Hyuga clan member be? He is also a master with infinite chakra who can completely ignore his own defense and focus only on the destructive power of his soft fist.

Such an enemy is simply a nightmare for ninjas who have no corresponding means of restraint.

If you can't seal it, sooner or later you will be dragged to death by its constantly recovering body.

Even so, there is no way of retreat now. Now Hyuga Hinata is needed to buy time for Uzumaki Naruto to recover, or even wait for reinforcements to arrive to escape from danger.

It is really difficult for Hinata Hyuga to fight against a jonin who was once as powerful as her father, but sometimes there is no turning back.

Being weak in dealing with others does not mean being cowardly. Once you find an excuse to make yourself brave, the courage that a person can burst out is the source of creating miracles.

"I kind of regret that I didn't learn the sealing technique from Mizuki Sensei and only mastered the basics of medical ninjutsu!"

Aburame Shino, who is also a member of Team 8, is the Konoha ninja who has inherited the most of Mizuki's signature sealing techniques, except for Mizuki's disciple Haruno Sakura.

Not only in basic sealing techniques, but also in barrier techniques, Aburame Shino has profound attainments. After combining it with her family's inherited insect manipulation technique, her strength has been greatly improved.

The carefree Inuzuka Kiba, under Mizuki's advice, focused on improving the nature of the earth-attributed chakra. After integrating it into the beast-mimicking ninjutsu, his attack power was also impressive.

In the past, when using the Beast-Simulation Ninjutsu - Two-Headed Wolf, it was difficult to break through one layer of the Summoning Rashomon. But now, he directly broke through two layers of the triple Rashomon cast by Mizuki, and the third door was only one step away from being broken.

This is also because Mizuki is very powerful and has excellent control ability. If it were any other inferior ninja, they would have been crushed directly.

Only Hinata Hyuga, although her medical ninjutsu is worse than most medical ninjas, is still slightly inferior to her companions. The most advanced medical ninjutsu she has learned is the Palm Senjutsu.

Many times, this medical ninjutsu with excellent offense and defense and outstanding healing effect is enough, but it is not enough to quickly treat the injuries on Uzumaki Naruto's body.

Even so, Hinata Hyuga now has to face enemies that she could never have imagined before.

The opponent is stronger than me in every aspect. The only way I can comfort myself is that my opponent is visible but not mental, while I have the illusory power of faith.

There is a companion behind me who is temporarily unable to move and can only rely on myself for protection, and the companion is the person I love.

Perhaps, it is just to be able to help at this time that I have been practicing gentle fist and learning medical ninjutsu so hard.

Hyuga Hinata, who had realized something in her mind, stood in front of Uzumaki Naruto and assumed the starting posture of the soft fist.

Hyuga Hizashi's Impure Earth Form moved in a flowing arc, constantly dodging and changing positions, approaching Hyuga Hinata and engaging in close combat.

The arms were wrapped in tough and soft energy, and when the fists and feet collided, bursts of crisp explosions were made.

"Soft Fist Technique - Eight Diagrams Sixty-four Palms!"

This is already the strongest boxing style that Hinata Hyuga can master. The more powerful Eight Trigrams Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palm is difficult for even the more talented Neji Hyuga to use.

This is not only a difference in talent, but also a difference in innate physical conditions. Hinata Hyuga's relatively weak body simply cannot use the more physically demanding soft boxing techniques.

Although she lacks power, Hyuga Hinata, who has considerable talent, has also thought of another way.

Perform the Soft Fist Technique - Eight Diagrams Sixty-four Palms with a faster technique, placing the chakra in the palm of your hand and compressing and refining it, condensing it into countless tiny needles and strengthening it.

When attacking, he releases it swiftly, crushing all attacks in front of him, even soft fist and energy, and can block any ninjutsu within his tolerance range.

The usage of this soft fist is somewhat similar to Bagua Huitian, except that it basically gives up the attacking ability and focuses on defensive boxing. It cannot defend in all directions like Huitian, and can only block in front of the body. However, this is enough.

Hinata Hyuga was satisfied as long as she could protect herself and Uzumaki Naruto from harm.

Although this puts a great deal of pressure on one's body and consumes a lot of chakra, one still has to persevere.

…

In the distance, a flare carrying chakra fluctuations exploded in the sky, instantly attracting Shuimu's attention.

"It's from Kakashi-sensei's direction. It looks like they have found the correct location."

"I know……"

As soon as Shuimu finished speaking, another flare exploded in the air.

"How could that be? Did the Sand Ninja also encounter a strong enemy?"

The sudden change surprised Inuzuka Kiba greatly.

"The enemy is not stupid either."

With both locations attacked, it became impossible to determine the enemy's exact location.

Moreover, the Konoha Ninja and Sand Ninja took it for granted that the enemy would foolishly intercept the enemy who was looking in the right direction, but there was actually another possibility.

The indiscriminate attacks on pursuers along certain routes were done in the same way as before.

Even in extreme cases, it is possible that both directions are wrong.

"Reality is not a game. There is no strategy. It is really troublesome. There is no clue to find anyone."

Taking your enemies for granted as fools is just fooling yourself.

Mizuki thought for a moment and then made a quick decision.

"Kana, Shino, go support the Sand Ninja and Sakura first. I'll go check on Kakashi-sensei!"

"clear!"

The two subordinates and students answered without hesitation.

"Very good, be careful, if things can't be done, it's okay to retreat!"

"Well?"

The ninja's code is to prioritize the mission, and Mizuki is clearly implying that if you can't win, it's okay to give up the mission.

"good!"

After hesitating for a moment, Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino nodded. Although they didn't quite understand Mr. Mizuki's order, it was never wrong to obey their superiors.

Mizuki patted their shoulders with relief, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared instantly.

Although he admired the way Yakushi Kabuto dealt with the situation, Mizuki was still very angry that he had caused so much trouble for himself.

The forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation is too dangerous when used recklessly by Kabuto Yakushi.

Originally, Shuimu wanted to teach this guy a lesson, but it was hard for Shuimu to believe that such a cautious guy would rashly appear in front of Shuimu without being sure of defeating Shuimu.
