Huff, huff
Although their strength has improved a lot compared to the original story after being carefully trained by Hyuga Kaze, Kurenai and Anko are still quite far behind Itachi Uchiha and Juzo Biwa.
After a fierce battle, both women had exhausted a lot of their stamina and chakra, making it difficult for them to continue.
Juzo Biwa, who was being tormented by Kurenai Yuhi's illusions, now had the upper hand and was naturally pressing forward relentlessly.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet"
As Juzo unleashed his ninjutsu, a wave of water shot up from the river beside him, forming a towering water dragon that crashed menacingly towards Anko and the others.
At this moment, Hongdou and the others were exhausted and panting, and had no desire to continue fighting. However, they showed no panic in the face of the ferocious water dragon. They exchanged glances and retreated at the same time.
Shoot shoo shoo
Taking advantage of an opening between the two, Itachi Uchiha unleashed a barrage of shuriken. These shuriken clashed and collided, their trajectories unpredictable, completely sealing off Kurenai and Anko's escape route.
Hinata Kaze, naturally, wouldn't allow his women to get hurt. Just as the shuriken and waves were about to hit Kurenai and the others, Hinata Kaze suddenly disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the towering waves in front of Kurenai and Anko, along with the shuriken around them, all retreated and counterattacked Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo.
Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo reacted instantly, spreading out and retreating. Uchiha Itachi was able to calmly dodge the waves.
Meanwhile, on Pipa Juzo's side, the shuriken that Hyuga Kaze bounced back was even more powerful and unpredictable. Even though he tried his best to dodge, he was still cut by the shuriken and his black fire cloud suit fell off, revealing the tight-fitting combat suit underneath.
"you!"
Pipa Juzo clutched his wounded waist, his heart pounding with shock. While he was fighting, some of his attention had been focused on the Byakugan-like figure beside him, yet he hadn't noticed how the man had gotten there.
After glancing at the composed and standing Itachi Uchiha, Juzo Biwa barely suppressed the trembling in his heart. If he was fast enough, he could handle him.
To stop the bleeding, Pipa Juzo swung his greatsword, and with a gust of wind, he slashed at Hyuga Kaze from the waist.
Uchiha Itachi, standing nearby, watched as the three tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly, his gaze fixed intently on Hyuga Kaze.
This person gave him a strange feeling from the beginning. At first glance, he was unremarkable and did not have the demeanor of a master. During the battle, he could not sense any threat from him. If he had not kept a close eye on him, he would not have been able to detect the presence of this person in his aura.
However, just now when he was about to make a move against this Hyuga clansman, his subconscious kept reminding him that he couldn't make a move, because if he did, there would be great danger.
Itachi Uchiha trusted his intuition, so he let Juzo Biwa test the waters first.
Pipa Juzo's Executioner's Blade moved with incredible force and skill, but Hyuga Kaze's movements were unpredictable and the blade couldn't get close to his body at all.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
Seeing that swordsmanship was no match for him, Juzo Biwa quickly gathered his chakra and formed hand seals, unleashing a water dragon several times larger than before that shot into the sky and slammed into Hyuga Kaze.
Facing the water dragon, Hyuga Kaze remained unmoved and unyielding, gently raising his hand.
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm"
A powerful, invisible force flew out from Hyuga Kaze's palm. The palm energy was as vast and unrestrained as a boundless ocean. The first burst of energy struck the water dragon directly, shattering the ten-meter-high water dragon into countless water droplets.
Then a second surge of energy came rushing in, carrying with it a shower of water droplets as it attacked Pipa Shizang.
"Water Escape. Water Formation Wall"
Pipa Juzo reacted quickly, condensing a wall of water to defend himself, but it was as easy as paper to break through Hyuga Kaze's palm strike.
Unable to dodge in time, Juzo Biwa could only hold his greatsword horizontally in front of his chest, his hands gripping it tightly.
The next moment, Juzo felt as if he had been hit by a whale in the sea. He couldn't hold on at all and was pushed back more than ten meters, with dust billowing all around him.
After the dust settled, the group looked closely and saw that Hibiki Juzo's feet were deeply embedded in the soil like nails, and two deep furrows had been plowed out in front of him.
After the impact of the energy dissipated, Biwa Juzo's hands trembled violently, and he could barely hold onto his Executioner's Blade. Both of his hands split open, and blood gushed out from between his thumb and forefinger.
Juzo looked at Hyuga Kaze, whose face was filled with undisguised shock. With just a wave of his hand, Hyuga Kaze had broken two of his Water Release ninjutsu, and the remaining force had still managed to injure him like this. Such a master was rare even in the organization.
"Mr. Itachi?"
Juzo Biwa looked at Itachi Uchiha beside him with a probing gaze, seeking his opinion. Juzo had no confidence in dealing with such a powerful opponent.
Uchiha Itachi didn't want to fight such a powerful opponent in Konoha. After a moment's thought, he uttered a single word.
"Walk!"
Hearing Itachi's words, Juzo Biwa secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled his leg out of the ground, carefully backed away, and met up with Itachi Uchiha to leave.
Is it really that simple?
Seeing that Itachi Uchiha and the others wanted to leave, Hyuga Kaze calmly stepped forward to close the distance.
Fire Release: Red Balsam Flower Claw
"Water Release: Torrent Burst"
"Eight Trigrams Universe Steps"
Seeing that they could not retreat, Itachi and Hyuga joined forces, unleashing a barrage of fireballs and water waves towards Hyuga Kaze.
Facing flames, shuriken, and a massive waterfall of water, Hyuga Kaze unleashed a series of rapid steps, instantly creating eight figures. His true body dodged all the attacks, standing with his hands behind his back, while his clones closed in on Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo, launching a flurry of punches, kicks, fingers, and palms, leaving the two in a dilemma.
Hyuga Kaze's true form and illusory image were ever-changing and endlessly repeating. When one image shattered, many more would be born. Itachi and Uchiha were like being besieged by hundreds of people, and for a moment they were powerless to fight back.
Half a day later, all the clones were destroyed, while Itachi and Juzo were in a sorry state, covered with tiny wounds, panting heavily and barely able to hold on.
His retreat was repeatedly halted, and as time continued to pass, Uchiha Itachi made up his mind. His eyes transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan as he glared at Hyuga Kaze, and black, blazing flames suddenly ignited on his body.
But the next second, the figure turned into smoke and disappeared with a "poof," it was actually a shadow clone!
Sensing something was wrong, Itachi Uchiha didn't bother to observe and immediately used Body Flicker to leave the spot.
"Eight Trigrams. Mountain Collapse Strike"
Almost simultaneously, Hyuga Kaze appeared where Itachi had just been standing. After Itachi dodged, he directly struck Biwa Juzo with a palm strike.
Juzo's limbs were too weak to dodge, so he could only use his Executioner's Blade to block in front of his chest once again.
when!
The blade and palm collided with a deafening sound. The decapitation sword was shattered by the powerful palm force, and the upper half of the broken blade flew out and pierced into the body of Juzo Biwa. The wide blade almost split Juzo in two!
"Mr. Itachi!"
Juzo Biwa uttered a weak murmur. The gushing blood blocked his trachea, rendering him unable to speak. He could only strain to look down in Itachi's direction.
But suddenly Itachi's stiff figure transformed into a flock of crows and flew away, and Itachi's true form could no longer be seen, leaving only a shocking pool of blood on the ground.
"That's good, at least I'm not left all alone," Biwa Juzo cried out silently before collapsing to the ground and closing his eyes.
