Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 24 Fierce Battle! (Please continue reading)

Tasks were assigned, and the four of them were divided into groups to keep watch at night.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after replenishing their strength and water, and burying their headbands in the ground, Genichi and his companions set off to cross the border into the Land of Rivers and arrived at the daimyo's residence in the Land of Rivers as quickly as possible.

However, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he used a transformation technique to disguise himself as an ordinary person and entered the Daimyo's residence, where he stayed at an inn.

After resting at the inn for a day, Hatake Sakumo and Yamanaka En left the inn at night to gather intelligence.

At 10 p.m., Sakumo Hatake and his companion returned to the hotel, bringing with them some bad news.

The daimyo's guard has increased, and they are suspected to be Sand Ninja.

Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that there are still Sand Ninja who have not been discovered.

Even so, Sakumo Hatake did not issue an order to abandon the mission.

12 pm.

Donning his mask, Sakumo Hatake gave the order to begin the operation.

The team split into two.

Yamanaka En went to prepare the rear route and be responsible for the backup, while Kishita Genichi and Uchi Nagaichi followed Hatake Sakumo and sneaked into the daimyo's palace in the dark.

Then the three of them split into two.

Genichi Kishita and Nagahito Uchiha acted alone, while Sakumo Hatake headed straight for the daimyo's bedchamber.

They had carried out missions here before, so they were very familiar with the terrain.

So, Genichi under the tree quickly arrived at the edge of a lake.

He formed a hand seal and created a water clone, while his true body, Xuan Yi, hid in the artificial hill by the lake and ate a soldier's ration pill to restore his strength.

As for the water clone, it simply leaped and landed silently on the lake surface.

The night was silent.

Genichi under the tree waited for less than two minutes before a roaring sound rang in his ears.

Looking up, the rising flames illuminated the night and broke the silence of the night.

Shouts rose and fell in an instant.

On the lake, Genichi under the tree took a deep breath, then formed the "zai" mudra with his hands, and then brought his hands back and clasped them together in front of his chest.

Beneath his feet, the once calm lake surface began to ripple with fine waves, and then he began to sink into the lake, until only half of his head was visible above the surface.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard, along with the whooshing sound of something cutting through the air.

Under the moonlight, Xuan Yi could see several figures moving towards him from under the tree.

It was Uchihachi Hajime, who was currently being attacked by two enemies and was fighting and retreating.

Moreover, they were being chased from behind, with shurikens being thrown at them from time to time.

Genichi under the tree thought to himself that if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.

However, Uchihachi Hajime possessed the Sharingan, giving him a significant advantage in the darkness.

Moreover, the Sharingan has amazing insight, and Uchiha Hajime is proficient in taijutsu and swordsmanship.

So even when surrounded and chased, Uchiha Namikaze still managed to safely lead the enemy to the lake.

Uchihachi leaped into the air, formed hand seals, and unleashed a massive fireball at his enemy.

However, this move failed to harm the enemy and was directly blown away by a gust of wind.

However, this move was actually to cover for Genichi Kinoshita.

As the fireball swept out, Xuan Yi under the tree rose from the lake, accompanied by a large amount of lake water surging up.

Water escape - water rushes into waves!
As soon as the fireball was blown away, the surging water rushed ashore with a thunderous roar.

"There's an ambush!"

The two men who were attacking Uchiha Rin were startled, and then simultaneously used the Body Flicker Technique to take to the air.

The surging water swept past them, and the three people who threw shurikens at Uchiha Rinpo in the air were unable to dodge in time. They screamed and were swept away by the water.

On the lake, Xuan Yi formed hand seals again under the tree.

Formerly!
The water surged upwards and spun rapidly around its body.

One of the pursuers, Uchiha Nagato, threw a shuriken with an explosive tag, which was blocked by the water barrier.

"This guy is so fast!"

Jie Kong was startled. He threw the shuriken to hinder Shuxia Xuanyi from forming hand seals, but he did not expect the other party to be so fast. He immediately rushed into the lake and attacked Shuxia Xuanyi.

We must stop them from using Water Release; the terrain here is too advantageous.

Just then, a scream rang out.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xuan Yi, who was hiding under the tree, also formed a hand seal: Illusion - Dark Travel Technique!
The target was another ninja who had previously besieged Uchiha Ichiro, and the plan was to completely block his vision, plunging him into absolute darkness.

Then, Uchiha Rin was easily dispatched with a single strike. Kaiku turned and saw his fallen comrade; his forward-leaning body immediately leaped backward.

But at this moment, the hand seals for the water clone were completed.

In the -巳-寅!
Water Release-Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
The water dragon roared, and Jie Kong leaped to dodge, but instead ran into Uchiha Ryouichi, who was charging towards him.

clang!
The ninja swords clashed, and then with a loud bang, Uchiha Ichijo kicked Kaisuke away.

Just then, a water dragon swept across the ground and shot into the sky, biting Jie Kong in one gulp before swooping down again.

Boom!

The water jet exploded and the water jets fell from the sky.

Shuxia Xuan's eyelid twitched, and then he saw two figures clashing in the air, sparks flying everywhere.

The next moment, Uchiha Rinne let out a muffled groan and flew backwards onto the lake surface.

"Cough cough, watch out, it's a Jonin!"

Xuan nodded under the tree, and then saw two more people on each side.

It's now a six-on-two situation, with one of the players being a Jonin.

It was indeed an extremely dangerous mission!

"There are only two people here, they seem to be bait. Captain, leave this to us!"

A sand ninja on the left shouted.

Si Ren stared at the two people on the lake and said, "Take care of them first."

"There's no need to worry too much about the Daming side."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Ren rushed towards the lake.

Xuan Yi swiftly formed hand seals under the tree.

I clasp my hands in prayer!

This time, he squeezed his chakra to the limit, causing the water in the entire lake to surge and swirl.

"what?"

Si Ren was startled and quickly retreated, shouting, "Watch out for this guy!"

After catching his breath, Jie Kong quickly reminded him, "This guy's water jutsu is incredibly powerful; his hand seals are very short and fast!"

No sooner had the words fallen than a roar erupted, and the surging river water rushed to the left, right, and front, simultaneously attacking six enemies.

"spread!"

The official shouted loudly.

One after another, figures leaped backward.

Xuan Yi, hidden under a tree on the artificial hill, completed the hand seal.

In an instant, he leaped up, completely diverting the attention of the two Sand Ninja who were about to land on the artificial hill.

Draw your sword and chop!
Genichi leaped up from under the tree, and the two who had been deprived of their sight were killed one by one with a single slash.

The commotion was completely drowned out by the surging, sweeping water.

The surging water reached its limit and then surged back into the lake.

Two Sand Ninja on the right immediately rushed towards Genichi under the tree on the lake, and two puppets had already pounced out first.

These are two puppeteers.

shhhhhh!
A barrage of hidden weapons whistled out.

Uchihachi charged forward, ignoring Genichi under the tree behind him.

Xuan Yi's true form had already landed on the water's surface under the tree behind the artificial hill, his hands forming a hand seal.

In the -巳-寅!
Upon seeing this, Si Ren immediately understood and shouted, "Be careful, that's a clone!"

Bang!
The water clone was hit by the hidden weapon and immediately disintegrated into a stream of water that fell down.

The next moment, Genichiro Shukashi also completed his technique.

The water surged upwards, coalescing into a water dragon, then swooped down, instantly shattering the two attacking puppets into pieces.

The water dragon continued its assault, knocking one of the sand ninjas away.

Another Sand Ninja dodged, but as soon as he landed, his chest was pierced by a sword.

It's Uchiha Namikaze!

On the other side, Uchiha Rin, who had been kicked away by Tsukasa, exploded into a cloud of smoke with a bang.

It's a shadow clone!
