From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 24 Mirror Flowers and Moon in the Water
"Certainly!"

The young man suddenly appeared on the other side of the rooftop and shouted loudly.

However, Sawara Kiri seemed to feel nothing at all. She just stared at him quietly with her deep blue eyes, a faint ironic smile on her face.

Then, he suddenly took a step towards him.

Noticing this scene, Karuju Yagura immediately realized something and frowned.

At the same time, he immediately released the sealing seal and flew towards him.

The matte-surfaced kunai was held upside down in the seemingly childish hands, silently drawing a deadly arc in the air.

"Zheng!"

The kunai collided, and a harsh sound of metal friction rang in my ears.

During the confrontation, Karuji Yagura looked into his deep blue eyes.

Sawara Kiri raised the kunai that was on the side of his neck, and used the force to rotate his body to make a half circle. His sweeping elbow was aimed directly at Gotachibana Yagura's temple, and at the same time, he touched the ground with the toe of his left foot, ready to launch a powerful knee strike.

Obviously, every move was aimed at the enemy's life, and there was no intention of holding back because of the ninjas from the same village.

However, there is a reason why the seemingly short-statured Yagura Karotachi can become the top young jonin in the entire Kirigakure at such a young age.

The moment the heavy elbow like an axe swept past, he did not retreat but moved forward, and his free left hand inserted diagonally like a hook, and his thumb poked accurately into the numb tendon at the tip of his elbow.

"boom!"

At the moment of the collision, Sawara Kiri's entire arm lost consciousness in an instant.

At the same time, the thumb joint of Gojira Yagura's left hand also made a crisp "click" sound as it was dislocated.

Immediately afterwards, he deflected the flying knee strike in advance, and the calf that was slanted between his legs suddenly tensed up and exerted force.

As his body tilted to the side, his seemingly short body pressed against the knee strike that created a gust of wind, and he plunged into Sawara Kiri's arms. He hooked the kunai with the little finger of his right hand, rotated it half a circle, and poked it upward with all his strength, pointing directly at the carotid artery.

At this critical moment, Sawara Kiri remained calm. He endured the severe pain as if his arm was pierced by a steel drill, and swung his left shoulder out due to inertia.

The unconscious arm suddenly swung like a whip, and the ends of the raised fingertips even made a crisp "snap" sound.

The kunai held in the other hand was turned upside down and stabbed diagonally, taking advantage of the arm span and pointing directly at Yagura's heart.

Counter a killing move with a killing move!
"Qianglang——"

At the last moment, the kunai in Karutagi Yagura's hand finally turned around and collided with him across his chest.

A ball of intense sparks exploded in the night.

The figures entangled in the battle circle suddenly split into two and each retreated several meters.

"That's terrible, Lian-jun."

Karuju Yagura reconnected his thumb joint expressionlessly, without even a trace of emotion in his voice: "Although the village has long expected your strength to improve, it is beyond my imagination that you can reach this level."

"Not only did he break the seal by himself, but his physical skills have also grown to this level?"

"I'm the one who should be scared."

Sawara Kiri still had that smiling expression on his face. He forcibly rubbed the blue skin on his elbow and said in a neutral tone, "Lord Yagura actually attacked one of the most important intelligence officers in the village. I wonder if this is your personal behavior or the will of the village?"

"If it's the latter, my loyalty to the Will of Water will begin to waver."

"A ninja who refused the village's mission and broke the village's seal is worthy of talking to me about loyalty?"

The words stopped here, and Karuju Yagura's eyes became even colder, with two fingers raised.

Suddenly, a violent chakra reaction erupted from his body surface and quickly spread in all directions.

The streets under the moonlight were suddenly covered with a thin layer of fog.

Like the dark buds among the petals covered with dew when the wind blows in late spring, there is a hint of chilliness.

It is the iconic starting ninjutsu of the Kirigakure Ninja.

"Water Release: Kirigakure's Technique."

Although the village's order was just to give Lian Jun a small lesson, it made him truly realize the necessity of the village to him.

However, after the fight just now, Karuta Yagura had already realized it in his heart.

Even if it was me, it would be difficult to completely suppress the opponent if I didn't use my full strength.

In this case
"Then let's make a big scene."

Karuji Yagura murmured in his heart, and his small figure was completely immersed in the thick fog.

But, just a moment before he disappeared into the deep fog.

He glanced at Sawara Kiri and saw that she had put two fingers together and was looking straight at him.

Under the dim moonlight.

Those blue eyes are shining brightly.

"Shatter it"

Almost at the moment the voice sounded, the deep white thick fog completely engulfed his sight.

"Soon-"

Suddenly, silent footsteps stepped across the ground, creating a swirling breeze in the thickening fog, but the figure was almost invisible.

Karuji Yagura's body shape changed rapidly, and the matte surface of the kunai pierced through the mist silently.

The mist composed entirely of chakra acts as the "eyes" of the ninjutsu users in this environment that cannot be penetrated by vision, helping them to explore every inch of the corner, while also being one-way transparent to them.

At the same time, it is accompanied by a special pace that is extremely fast and silent.

This is the true meaning of the Kirigakure Silent Killing Technique.

In an instant, the figure of Karutagi Yagura appeared behind Sawara Kiri, and the kunai in his hand suddenly stabbed out along his blind spot.

"Cho, choke!"

Two consecutive hits, sparks flying.

However, Sawara Kiri's movements were obviously half a beat slower than before.

When he turned around and swung the blade, Goji Yagura's figure reappeared in another blind spot, and he stabbed out again slowly.

This time, Sawara Kiri seemed to have noticed it in advance and suddenly dropped the kunai in his hand.

Then, the figure turned into a ball of scattered mist.

Water Style: Mist Clone. Sawara Kiri's eyes suddenly widened.

Almost at the same moment, a sudden attack came from behind him at a speed nearly twice as fast as before.

"laugh!"

Blood was splattering, dark red splashing.

The intense stinging sensation made Sawara Kiri forget about searching and he immediately jumped several meters in the opposite direction of the slash, forming seals with his hands quickly.

Shen—You—Xu—Wei!

"Fire Release·Fire Tornado!"

The blazing high temperature gushed out, and along with the flames, the precipitated water droplets that condensed into mist droplets also burned.

The violent fire-style ninjutsu evaporated water vapor, and the chakra mist wrapped around his body was also swept and surged in the rising air currents generated by the temperature difference, clearing a vast area around him and brightly illuminating the entire rooftop.

In just this brief moment, the figure of Karuji Yagura, which was originally hidden deep in the fog, was suddenly illuminated.

Sawara Kiri's strength was rapidly draining away along with his blood. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of his eyes. A burst of chakra fire as real as real material burst out from under his feet. He ran towards Karuta Yagura at a high speed, close to the ground. At the same time, he threw out several shurikens in his hands to block the opponent's retreat.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The spinning shurikens were driven into the rooftop floor one by one, but were all avoided by the opponent.

Karuju Yagura turned around and quickly approached him in the direction of the shuriken, shouting:

"Coral Palm!"

The palm wrapped in intense chakra reaction suddenly slapped out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sawara Kiri subconsciously raised his kunai to resist.

"squeak!"

The next moment, he saw that the palm that hit the tip of the kunai was not damaged at all. Instead, the surface of the steel kunai was covered with layers of pale pink coral tubes like blood vessels, which continued to extend towards his palm.

Sawara Kiri immediately threw away the kunai.

The next palm from Goju Yagura immediately followed like a thorn in the flesh, pointing directly at his heart, and he stepped forward.

However, Sawara Kiri couldn't help but smile as if his plan had succeeded.

The body suddenly leaned back.

At the same time, his other hand suddenly pulled back with force.

The expression on Goji Yagura's face suddenly changed.

Almost at the same time, the matte thin steel wires that were connected to the shurikens just now were suddenly pulled up from the ground and wrapped around the short figure of Goji Yagura without any warning, immediately wrapping him into a ball.

Sawara Kiri bit the steel wire in his mouth and formed seals with his hands quickly.

Si—Shen—Wei.

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

Suddenly, the piercing and dense thunderous sound resounded throughout the rooftop, and the dazzling lightning shot straight along the steel wire towards the direction of Goji Yagura who was entangled in the center of the wire, exploding into a ball of bright light.

The short body suddenly began to tremble violently as if suffering from epilepsy, and a shrill whine continued in the ears.

"Hoo, hoo"

Sahara Kiri gasped for breath, looking at the scene in front of him, his voice getting lower and lower:

"did you see it?"

“This is the gap between us.”

However, almost at the same moment his voice fell.

"Wow--"

The figure that was hit by the steel wire and the Lightning Release Ninjutsu suddenly turned into a ball of falling water and spilled onto the ground.

The expression on Sawara Kiri's face froze.

next moment.

"Click."

The figure of Karuji Yagura appeared behind him without any warning.

The upside-down kunai was silently placed across his neck.

The cold touch of the blade slowly crawled up his skin, causing Sawara Kiri's entire body to stop.

The corners of Goji Yagura's chubby face subconsciously curled up, and his voice was cold and sarcastic:

"You just said."

"What is the gap between you and me?"

At the same moment, Karuju Yagura sneered and made a mocking sound.

The entire rooftop was just as it was when the two first met.

Dirty, quiet, dusty.

But there was no trace of ninjutsu.

Sawara Kiri still stood quietly on the edge of the rooftop, his hands on the railing, his palms still holding a scroll that he had obtained at some unknown time.

He leaned down and looked down at the dark alley below with a rather bored expression.

At this time, Goji Yagura had a sneer on his face.

Those purple pupils, as gorgeous as gemstones, were completely lifeless.

In his hand, he was holding a half-overturned trash can and was lecturing in a deep and vicious tone. While speaking, he pressed the kunai hard against the lid of the trash can, leaving a deep scratch.

The night is still quiet, and occasionally the sound of cicadas can be heard from afar.

Everything happened silently.

Didn't alarm anyone.

Sahara Kiri held her cheek with one hand, looking at the scene below which was like a one-man show, serious to the point of being ridiculous, with her eyes slightly absent-minded.
