Ding-ding-ding-ding!

boom!
Shuriken, lightning release, close-quarters swordsmanship... Faced with the relentless attacks from the three Cloud Ninja, Genichi Shushita retreated repeatedly.

Fortunately, he had the speed boost from the "Soldier's Technique," along with his rich combat experience and decent swordsmanship, which allowed him to barely withstand the relentless attacks from the Cloud Ninja.

But Genichi Shushita was well aware that he couldn't maintain this situation for long.

These three Cloud Ninja include one Jonin and the other two are also experienced Chunin. If he reveals even the slightest weakness, he could be seriously injured or even lose his life.

Therefore, he had to find an opportunity to form hand seals.

After a few more rounds, Genichi Shushita found an opportunity and let himself be kicked away, rolling rapidly on the river surface.

Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Genichi Shushita rapidly formed hand seals as he rolled over.

boom!
The Cloud Ninja Jonin who fell from the sky was held back by the surging water.

Xuan Yi flipped backward under the tree and leaped back, completing the Yin Seal at the same time.

The art of darkness!
The two charging Cloud Ninja Chunin were instantly plunged into darkness. Seeing the approaching Cloud Ninja Jonin, Genichi Shushita retreated while continuing to form hand seals.

Water escape, water dragon bullet technique!

The water surged upwards, condensing into a water dragon that rushed towards the Cloud Ninja. Xuan Yi under the tree finally had time to catch his breath, but he couldn't help coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood.

That kick just now was quite forceful.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Yi under the tree formed a hand seal once more.

Water Release: Water Kills a Thousand Flights!

Drops of river water hung suspended in the air, then condensed into thousands of sticks, which then shot towards the three Cloud Ninja with a whooshing sound.

The two Cloud Ninja Chunin had not yet broken the genjutsu, but they retreated after being reminded by the Cloud Ninja Jonin. However, they still could not avoid all the Thousand Needles attacks and were pierced through the body, bleeding profusely.

"Retreat to the shore!"

The Cloud Ninja Jonin looked grim and retreated again with his two injured companions.

They had just reached the shore when a huge current surged in, so much so that the Cloud Ninja Jonin didn't have time to dispel the genjutsu on his companion. He simply planted his ninja sword in the ground and formed hand seals.

The next moment, thick bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the massive, sweeping waves of water and blasting them away.

As the water receded, Xuan Yi disappeared from the river's surface beneath the tree.

"What about people?"

The Cloud Ninja Jonin quickly searched for Genichi's whereabouts under the tree, and then saw a figure descending from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black before his eyes, and he heard a whooshing sound in his ears.

Reaching out of the ground, the Cloud Ninja Jonin deflected the incoming shuriken, but the next moment, he heard his comrade's scream from behind.

"Damn it!"

"That annoying illusion!"

There was no time to break the illusion, so the Cloud Ninja Jonin immediately leaped away from the spot.

After killing two people, Genichi Shushita did not pursue them further, but instead quickly retreated along the river.

Because Sakumo Hatake also had two Root ninjas retreating.

One of the three Root ninjas, an Aburame clan member, died, but two of the four Cloud ninjas who fought against them also died.

Of the six Cloud Ninja who fought against their teacher, Hatake Sakumo, only two survived.

However, Genichi Kishita also saw that his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, had his left arm stained with blood. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the wound on his left upper arm revealed bone, indicating that it had been almost severed.

Genichi stopped on the water's surface under the tree and formed a hand seal.

The five pursuing Cloud Ninja were immediately deprived of their sight.

At this moment, Genichi under the tree also saw that the Lava Release ninja Tsuchida had a scar on his left eye.

"Xuan Yi, don't linger in the fight!"

Sakumo Hatake's voice rang out from behind.

Genichi Kishita had no intention of counterattacking; he immediately retreated after completing his ninjutsu.

The five Cloud Ninja who had broken free of the illusion continued their pursuit.

The two sides entered the Land of Hot Water one after the other, constantly switching between battle and pursuit, and also from night to day.

……

Inside the woods, he landed on the ground, and Xuan Yi looked down at the several corpses beneath the trees.

Two were from the roots, one from the Cloud Ninja. This made Genichi under the tree look solemn.

This means that only two people remain behind Yamanaka En: a Root ninja and an injured Uchiha Namikaze.

In particular, Uchihachi Ichiro is very likely to run into another wave of Cloud Ninja.

"Don't think too much!"

Sakumo Hatake opened his mouth.

Xuan nodded under the tree and continued walking, but unconsciously quickened his pace.

Behind the two was a Root ninja.

Only one of the three Root ninjas remains, a member of the Yamanaka clan.

If another group is added, then only two people will be left, resulting in a heavy loss.

Genichi under the tree wasn't doing well either, with several wounds on his body.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Ninja were still hot on their heels.

Furthermore, the injury to teacher Sakumo Hatake's left arm has not received proper treatment, and if this continues, he may become disabled.

As they drew ever closer to the border of the Land of Fire, Genichi Shūshita sniffed, a faint smell of blood lingering in his nose.

Soon, Xuan Yi saw three figures under the tree.

Swish swish swish~
Genichi landed next to Uchiha Namikaze.

At this moment, Uchiha Rin was leaning against a tree trunk, his eyes closed, his breathing weak, his abdomen cut open, and his intestines and internal organs exposed.

Genichi quickly stuffed it back in, then used the "Soldier's Technique" to heal his injuries.

This was more effective than the palm magic he had mastered.

"Don't...don't waste your chakra."

Uchihachi suddenly opened his eyes.

He knew his injuries were too severe; with Genichi Kinoshita's medical skills, there was no way he could be cured.

The green light on Genichi's hand gradually dimmed. He turned his head and saw that two Cloud Ninja were retreating rapidly, choosing not to fight Hatake Sakumo and the others.

"Xuan Yi, don't chase! Take Lang Yi and retreat immediately!"

Sakumo Hatake opened his mouth.

Uchihachi grabbed Genichi's hand under the tree, but his gaze was fixed on Sakumo Hatake: "Captain... I'm not going to make it."

"Although...although I don't want to die here, I can't be a burden to everyone, and I can't disgrace the Uchiha clan."

Uchihachi's eyes darted around, landing on Genichi under the tree. A smile forced across his lips: "Genichi, take this eye away from me. I can no longer see this world, you..."

"Use it to help me continue to see this world!"

Genichi under the tree was startled and instinctively opened his mouth to refuse, but his hand was grabbed tightly by Uchiha Ryouichi: "I still have many things to do, I don't want to die yet, but... Genichi, use it to live on in my place."

With a lump in his throat, Genichi Shushita took a deep breath, looked at Uchiha Bohan, who was already on his deathbed, and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Nagato immediately smiled with relief: "Come on... come on!"

Genichi under the tree raised his hand, but couldn't help trembling.

Images of his battles with Uchiha Namikaze kept flashing through his mind.

At that moment, Genichi under the tree suddenly understood Tsunade.

It's ridiculous that someone who has killed countless people would suffer from hemophobia.

But the bitterness, pain, and inexplicable fear of watching helplessly as a comrade you could rely on for your life dies before your eyes is indescribable.

"The Cloud Ninja are catching up..."

A ninja from the Yamanaka clan at the Root suddenly spoke.

Genichi Shushita steadied his hand and removed Uchiha Namikaze's right eye.

"Xuan Yi, from now on... I'm counting on you~"

Uchihachi's smiling face is frozen in time.

Genichi Shushita took the backpack that Uchiha Namikaze had been carrying, took out the sealing scroll, preserved the eyes, and then sealed Uchiha Namikaze's body.

These were originally intended for the enemy, but Genichi Kinoshita never imagined that one day they would be used on his own comrades.

Life is truly unpredictable!
