"found it!"

Xuan Yi opened his eyes under the tree.

Troy did not enter the Land of Rain, but was still in the Land of Grass, near the border, hiding himself very well and not using his chakra, so he had not sensed him before.

However, although the person was found, Genichi Shushita did not take immediate action, but returned to the cave.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after replenishing their strength, Genichi and the others waited on the road that Troy was bound to take.

"coming!"

Sarutobi Sankage gave a reminder.

Troy quickly approached, then stopped a few dozen meters away, his eyes warily fixed on Genichi and his three companions under the tree: "A member of Konoha's Anbu?"

"Troy, surrender!"

Sarutobi Sankage spoke.

Troy scoffed, "Then let me see what you're capable of!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he used his teleportation technique to charge towards Xuan Yi and the other three people under the tree.

shhhhhh!
In a flash, a large number of shurikens flew out and shot towards Xuan Yi and the other three people under the tree.

These small shuriken are imbued with Troy's Magnet Release chakra and possess magnetism; if touched, they can indirectly magnetize the object they touch.

This method of using Magnet Release is completely different from that of the Third and Fourth Kazekage.

Genichi Kishita had already informed Akimichi and the other two about the Magnet Release information regarding Troy, so when faced with these shuriken, they did not use their ninja swords to intercept them, but instead dodged or intercepted them with the same shuriken.

However, Genichi Shushita is an exception.

He drew the standard ninja sword of the Anbu, stood still, and deflected all the shuriken that were shot at him.

Under the drizzle, in the forest, figures darted about, dodging the attacks of the three Sarutobi Kage. Troy landed on a tree, a scroll between his teeth, and with a thud, three huge, specially made square shuriken appeared in his hand.

"go to hell!"

Troy threw his square shuriken at Genichi under the tree.

Two square shuriken traced graceful arcs as they shot toward Xuan Yi beneath the tree.

Like attracts like; the square shuriken with the same magnetism will automatically track Genichi Kinoshita, who is holding a ninja sword.

At that moment, Genichi under the tree flicked his left hand, sending a kunai flying towards Troy.

Troy turned his head to avoid it, but Genichi Kinoshita disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Troy, grabbing a kunai with his left hand and holding a ninja sword to Troy's neck.

"what?"

Troy was terrified.

At that moment, the shuriken in the air suddenly made a sharp turn and shot back towards Troy and Genichi Kinoshita.

"Damn it!"

Troy's pupils dilate.

Hurry!

Two square shuriken pierced the tree branch, but Xuan Yi and Troy instantly appeared on the ground below.

First, he used the Seal of Evil, then the Seal of Water, and then threw the helpless Troy to Akimichi Tou: "Back to the village!"

Akimichi and his two companions were not at all surprised that Genichi Kinoshita had defeated Troy, a Jonin with a bloodline limit, in a second.

They had all grown accustomed to Genichi's formidable strength.

Shouldering Troy, the tall Akimichi Tou asked, "Captain, are we sending this guy back to Hozuki Castle?"

Shuxia Xuanyi shook his head: "No, take it back to the village."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't say he wanted to capture him alive and send him back to Hozuki Castle.

That being the case.

How could we let such a good experimental subject go to waste?

The group headed south, out of the mountains, and then east back to Konoha.

But as soon as they left the mountainous area, Xuan Yi stopped under the tree: "There are actually people waiting to meet us."

The three Sarutobi Kage and Gekko Ryuukaze immediately stepped forward: "Captain, is it a Cloud Ninja?"

Genichi Shushita did not answer, but instead ordered, "Ryufu, Toudou, you two retreat first."

"understand!"

Akiodo-do and Gekko Ryuka immediately leaped eastward.

Meanwhile, in the light drizzle, three figures were rapidly approaching.

"It's Troy! Damn it, they've been captured by the people of Konoha!"

"Stop them!"

The three Cloud Ninja split into two groups. Two of them rushed towards Akimichi and the others, while the other went straight to Genichi and the other under the tree, rapidly forming hand seals.

Beneath the mask, Genichi under the tree had activated his three-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye.

Rumble!
Streaks of lightning descended from the sky, striking the spot where Xuan Yi and the three shadows of Sarutobi stood beneath the tree.

Seeing the two people fall, the Cloud Ninja sensed something was wrong: "It's an illusion!"

With a single hand raised, the illusion was dispelled, and the three Sarutobi Kage were already upon him.

His body flew backward, blood spurting from the chest of the Cloud Ninja, who was sliced ​​open by the three Kage of Sarutobi.

However, the slash only caused a superficial wound, and the Cloud Ninja reacted extremely quickly, dodging the fatal blow.

The three Kage of Sarutobi planted their ninja swords into the ground, rapidly formed hand seals, and then opened their mouths to spew out lines of fire. These lines then coalesced into a ball, followed by another explosive burst of dragon-shaped flames that hurtled towards the Cloud Ninja at incredible speed.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
Despite the excruciating pain, Yun Ren, suspended in mid-air, formed hand seals and spat out a stream of water that collided with the dragon-shaped flames, creating billowing water vapor.

The three Sarutobi Kage attacked from the side with swift and fierce strikes, giving the Cloud Ninja no time to catch their breath.

Meanwhile, Genichi Shushita moved with incredible speed, intercepting the other two Cloud Ninja.

Upon meeting each other's eyes, one of the Cloud Ninja was immediately immobilized by the Binding God Technique.

"Sharingan!"

Another cloud ninja was startled and quickly grabbed his companion, who was under the illusion, and jumped backward.

However, Genichi Shushita was too fast, and in an instant he appeared in front of the Cloud Ninja, almost face to face.

"So fast!"

Before Yunren could react, Genichi's hand was already on his face.

boom!
The two Yun ninjas were forcibly pressed down from mid-air by Genichi under the tree.

The head of the Cloud Ninja, whose face he had pressed against, was driven even deeper into the ground, and blood spurted from his ears.

puff!
With a raised hand, he activated the Water Gun Technique, and Genichi Kishita ripped a hole in the head of the Cloud Ninja who was under the influence of the illusion.

Having dealt with the two, Genichi looked up and saw that the three Kage of Sarutobi were still fighting the Cloud Ninja.

At this moment, the Cloud Ninja were already filled with horror.

In less than a minute, his two companions were taken care of without any chance to resist.

withdraw!
Without any hesitation, the Cloud Ninja retreated and fled.

Swish!
Xuan Yi's figure disappeared from the spot under the tree.

Under the "Soldier's Technique," his speed increased by two-thirds.

The already superhuman Body Flicker Technique was even faster, and seven or eight seconds later, his figure suddenly appeared in front of the Cloud Ninja.

"So fast!"

Yunren braked suddenly, his eyes meeting those of Xuan Yi under the tree, and his body, which had been about to move sideways, froze instantly.

"Sharingan... Genjutsu!"

The Cloud Ninja trembled slightly, trying to break free from the Binding God Technique, but he was unable to do so at all.

Genichi raised his hand and finished off the enemy with another shot, then quickly collected the body and retreated with the three Sarutobi Kage, swiftly and decisively.

About half an hour later.

A force of over a hundred Cloud Ninja appeared on the battlefield.

After carefully examining the signs of battle, a Cloud Ninja quickly concluded: "It's almost certain that Troy was taken away by Konoha, and Troy should be alive."

"And this place should be where we come to meet Troy and our team when they encountered that Konoha team."

"There are only two people showing signs of battle here, but the Konoha team has four members. Two of them should have taken Troy and retreated first."

The other Yun ninja looked grim upon hearing this, and one of them immediately shouted, "The traces here are still very fresh; we should still be able to catch up!"

Many Cloud Ninja nodded in agreement, but in the end they all looked at Tsuchida, the leader of this reinforcement.

After considering for a moment, Tu Tai ordered, "Ray, Kru, each of you lead a small squad to pursue the enemy."

"Be careful, this Konoha squad might be Konoha's elite ANBU."

"If you encounter a strong enemy, retreat immediately and do not take risks."

"The most crucial situation right now is the Land of Rain!"

The two Jonin, Ray and Kru, immediately nodded: "Understood!"

Swish swish swish~
Eight Cloud Ninja disappeared from their original location, while the others ventured deep into the Land of Rain.

……

At the border of the Land of Fire, when they stopped to rest, Genichi under the tree, as usual, used two fingers to touch the ground to sense his surroundings.

"Ok?"

Under the tree, Genichi raised an eyebrow: "There are pursuers..."

"1, 2... 8 people in total!" Moonlight Wind exclaimed in surprise, "Captain, are they Cloud Ninja?"

Xuan Yi stood up from under the tree: "Most likely."

"However, they should be reinforcements from Kumogakure."

"Tang Dong, rest for another five minutes. You take the prisoners and leave first."

"Liufeng, go and set up the trap."

"Sankage, hurry up and recover your strength!"

The three immediately accepted the order and each performed their duties.

Akimichi Tou and the three Sarutobi Kage first took out nutrient solutions and injected them directly into their hands via intravenous injection, while Gekko Ryufu did not consume much chakra and went directly to set up traps.

five minutes later.

Akimichi Toshiro led the prisoners around the trap area and retreated first.

Genichi stood on a branch under the tree, quietly looking in the direction of the Land of Rain.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi Sankage and Gekko Ryuukaze stood on the tree branches on the left and right sides behind them.

Before long, the figure of the Cloud Ninja came into view.

Sarutobi Sankage and Gekko Ryufu's right hands simultaneously rested on the hilts of their swords, while their other hands held the Flying Thunder God Kunai of Shushita Genichi.

As for Genichi under the tree, he had already used the "Soldier Technique," "All Technique," "Array Technique," and "Being Technique" to empower himself, and his chakra was being continuously consumed.

On the opposite side, the Cloud Ninja also saw the three people, including Genichi and his companions, who were wearing masks.

Ray shouted, "As expected, they are Konoha's elite ANBU! Be careful!"

The Cloud Ninja did not stop; instead, they increased their speed.

When the two sides were still twenty or thirty meters apart, the last Cloud Ninja formed a hand seal.

Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!

Because someone was blocking the way, even Genichi Shushita couldn't observe the hand seals of this Cloud Ninja.

However, the moment the lightning pillar erupted, Genichi Shushita reacted extremely quickly, raising one hand and instantly casting the Dark Travel Technique.

Furthermore, it provides group coverage, attacking both friendly and enemy forces indiscriminately, blocking everyone's vision.

Then, Xuan Yi jumped down from the tree branch and landed with his hands clasped together.

Water escape-explosion of water and waves!

The water gathered around it, then spiraled upwards like a top, before cascading forward with a thunderous roar, forming a massive torrent tens of meters high. Wherever it went, huge trees were swept down.

The illusion that covered the entire group was not very accurate, and Ray and the others broke the Dark Walk spell in an instant.

"spread!"

Ray shouted.

The water flow was too strong; they didn't have time to form hand seals.

shhhhhh!
One by one, the Cloud Ninja leaped up, dodging the surging water, and bounded among the trees.

The Lightning Pillar technique could no longer be maintained.

With the Dark Travel Technique broken, Genichi under the tree used the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique to move at high speed across the water's surface.

The two Cloud Ninja who had just landed on the water's surface were sent flying by Genichi Kishita's punch and kick before they could even complete their hand seals, and died coughing up blood.

The superhuman strength was too great; we simply couldn't withstand it.

At the same time, Sarutobi Sankage and Gekko Ryufu threw out the kunai in their hands.

A bolt of lightning struck, and Xuan Yi's figure vanished beneath the tree.

boom!
boom!
A series of booming sounds erupted, and in an instant, the two Cloud Ninjas were blasted underwater by Genichi Kishita's Wind Release: Rasengan.

"So fast!"

"hateful!"

The two Jonin, Ray and Kru, were shocked and enraged.

Genichi Kishita was too fast; even their Lightning Release ninjutsu couldn't catch up.

Half of the eight Cloud Ninja were lost in the blink of an eye.

Whizzing!

Genichi flashed, causing the attacks from the two Jonin, Rei and Kru, to miss again.

Sudden.

Genichi under the tree moved sideways and appeared in front of Ray, his Sharingan appearing beneath his mask.

The moment their eyes met, Ray was startled. He instinctively closed his eyes and shouted, "Sharingan!"

However, it was too late. With the Binding God Technique, Ray's body was immediately unable to move.

Having missed his target, Klu immediately turned around and attacked Xuan Yi from behind, attempting to relieve the siege by attacking Wei.

puff!
Genichi under the tree raised his hand, and a palm strike covered in wind-style chakra sliced ​​open Ray's neck, causing blood to splatter.

The next moment, Klu arrived and slashed Xuan Yi's shoulder under the tree.

Bang!
Xuan Yi's body under the tree transformed into a stream of water and exploded.

"Water clone, damn it!"

Seeing Ray fall, Kru was furious. He plunged his swords into the water with both hands, and his whole body crackled with electricity.

Lightning Release: Lightning Scatter Kill!

In an instant, streaks of electricity shot outward from him like a spider web.

Genichi, who had just appeared on the water's surface, was struck by lightning, but his body once again turned into water and dispersed.

Kru drew his sword and looked around for Xuan Yi's figure under the tree, but then he heard his companion's screams.

Then came a series of explosions.

His gaze fell upon a companion who had entered the trap, surrounded by barbed wire with numerous explosive tags hanging from it, which was instantly engulfed in flames.

He was all alone now!
Cold sweat poured down Kru's forehead.

Even as a Jonin, and having experienced countless battles, Kru couldn't help but feel a sense of fear at this moment.

The water rippled, and Kru even saw his own reflection in the water.

Suddenly, his body stiffened.

He saw a person suddenly appear behind him in his reflection in the water.

"Are you looking for me?"

Genichi appeared behind Kru.

"This is... an illusion!"

Kru sensed something was wrong.

"You guessed it right..."

Xuan Yi's voice drifted in the wind beneath the tree.

The surrounding scenery rippled and then collapsed, including Xuan Yi's figure under the tree.

The illusion dissipated, and Kru found the enemy standing right in front of him. He only needed to release his sword forward to finish the enemy off.

However, his body was already immobilized, bound by the water flow.

"Illusion..."

"You are Genichi Shushita!"

Kru was in despair.

"Congratulations, you guessed right again!"

Genichi under the tree took off his mask.

Kru, however, was no longer afraid: "Lord Raikage will avenge us!"

Genichi Shushita, too lazy to engage in verbal sparring, said to the three Kage behind him, "Three Kage, take this prisoner with you."

"Yes, Captain!"

The three Sarutobi Kage stepped forward, knocked Kru unconscious, and carried him away.

Although it was an illusion before, the other two Cloud Ninja were indeed dead.

Just as Kru was under the illusion, Genichi Kishita used an illusion to target him, and then Sarutobi Sankage and his companion took him down.

The trap was completely useless.

So Xuan Yi under the tree collected the corpse, retrieved the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and Moonlight Flowing Wind went to collect the trap.

Because they had two prisoners with them, it wasn't until the evening of the following day that Genichi and the others returned to Konoha.

The three Kage of Sarutobi took the prisoners to the Anbu prison, while Genichi Kishita went to the Hokage's office to report on his duties.

He first explained the general process of the mission, and then said, "Lord Hokage, the fact that the Cloud Ninja reinforcements have decided to pursue us means that they have identified us as the enemy. The Third Raikage may very well use this as an excuse to start a war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Given the Raikage's personality, this is highly likely."

"Xuan Yi, you immediately hand over that Cloud Ninja reinforcement to the intelligence department."

Shuxia Xuan nodded and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned the ANBU members on duty and issued a series of orders.

One message was to warn the northern border defense forces to be wary of a surprise attack by the Yunren.

Secondly, they organized the first batch of reinforcements to go north in order to deal with a possible war launched by the Cloud Ninja.

Thirdly, advance teams were dispatched to the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of the Moon, and the Land of the Sun to gather intelligence on the Hidden Cloud Village and provide early warnings of war.
