Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 18 The Fate of Class 7
Deep in the forest.

The misty fog was now as thick as smoke, enveloping an area of ​​about 100 meters and continuing to spread outwards like a tide.

Standing atop a treetop, Qiu Cunxin looked out and noticed that the fog in the distance was not only unusually thick, but also distinctly different from ordinary fog, making it easy to pinpoint the source of the anomaly.

"It's the Hidden Mist Technique. Teacher Truth is fighting the enemy."

"The fog is so thick."

Yangzhen also stood on the treetop, looking around with a gloomy expression.

As an outstanding graduate of the Ninja Academy and a self-proclaimed master of the silent assassination technique, even ten of him couldn't execute such a high-quality Mist Concealment Technique given the density and breadth of the fog here.

The enemy is very strong.

"Teacher Truth is in danger, we have to go help her."

Tongshan Huali threw the tent on her back to the ground and pulled out a kunai from her ninja tool bag: "Yojin, among the three of us, you are the most proficient in the Hidden Mist Technique. What is its weakness?"

"Weakness?" Yang Zhen tilted her head, thought for a moment, and answered affirmatively:
"Wind Release, and the even larger Mist Concealment Technique... I understand now. This Mist Concealment Technique might not have been cast by the enemy; Teacher Truth should also have played a part in it."

It turned out to be the case.

Tongshan Huali understood immediately, and her expression softened.

The essence of the Hidden Mist Technique is to obscure vision with mist while simultaneously using chakra-filled mist to lock onto the enemy. By keeping the enemy in the light while keeping oneself in the dark, the power of this silent killing technique is maximized.

The simplest way to break this technique is to use Wind Release to disperse the mist, or you can use the same Mist Concealment Technique.

In this way, you can't see the enemy, and the enemy can't see you either.

"This explains why the enemy was able to unleash such a large-scale Mist Concealment Technique," Yangzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Tongshan Huali and the others were still staring at the thick fog and making wild guesses.

Hai Li, who was standing nearby, had already activated his Byakugan to observe the enemy situation. For the Byakugan, the thick fog in front of him was almost nothing; the clear vision revealed three bright chakra reactions that were dazzlingly bright.

The opponents are an elite Jonin and a Genin... Hmm?

A decapitation sword?

Hui Li finally knows who her opponent is. She never expected to meet Zabuza Momochi here. The chakra reaction next to him must be white!

Why did Kurio Mari get into a fight with them?
She is not in good condition.

Rapid breathing, are you injured?

That's right, the opponent is that demon.

Kuryu Mari, a mere Special Jonin, has only managed to hold on until now because she, like Kuryu, is from Kirigakure and has a deep understanding of Kirigakure techniques and silent killing techniques.

Use silent killing techniques and the Fog Instantaneous Movement to play hide-and-seek with your opponent.

However, this avoidance is merely a temporary measure.

When her chakra is almost depleted and she can no longer maintain the Hidden Mist Technique, that will be her death.

Do you want to help her?

Taking action rashly will expose one's bloodline limit.

With his Corpse Bone Pulse and White Eyes, he's a treasure trove, but he can't withstand any abuse.

How to do?
Hui Li hesitated.

"Grey Glass!"

Tongshan Huali suddenly ran over.

"Teacher Truth is in danger, we must go and save her. You stay here and don't wander off, be a good girl and wait for us to come back."

"it is good."

"Here's a kunai for you to use in self-defense. If we don't come back, you'll have to leave on your own."

Akimura Shin shoved a kunai into Hui Li's hand, and the three of them settled Hui Li aside and showed her the way.

Regardless of whether she remembered or not, he left her some dry food and water, then turned and ran into the thick fog.

call--

A gentle breeze swept through the fog, and the three figures were quickly swallowed up by the thick fog. In the dense forest, Hui Li sat blankly in place, all alone.

Mari Kurio, Karin Tōyama, Shin Okamura, and Oma.

They were going to die. Looking at Zabuza's vigorous chakra reaction in the mist, and Kuryu Mari's nearly depleted chakra and body covered in wounds, Hairi made an objective judgment.

Her best and safest choice now is to turn around and leave this place of trouble.

She has now escaped from the Hidden Mist.

With the help of these people, most of the route to the Land of Fire was completed.

If you keep heading west, you will reach Peichuan Port, from where you can take a ship to the Land of Fire.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.

Hui Li gripped the still-warm dagger in her hand, silently making up her mind.

……

A thick fog blanketed the area, so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Ding!
Kuryu Mari, with her left hand protecting her bloodied waist and abdomen, held her right arm across her face and used a kunai to precisely deflect the incoming shuriken.

What followed was the terrifying decapitation blade.

Call ~
The broad blade swept across, clearing away the thick fog and creating a vacuum.

Kuryu Mari hurriedly used her kunai to parry the sword, but its immense force sent her and her weapon flying in an instant, crashing into a tree trunk before bouncing back to the ground.

Maintaining the Hidden Mist Technique for so long has nearly depleted his chakra.

My arms felt as if they were broken, utterly powerless, and a metallic taste kept rising in my throat. Blood was constantly draining from my abdomen, and the wind chilled me to the bone.

With trembling hands supporting her heavy body, Kuryu Mari watched as the demon wielding a large sword gradually emerged from the mist, despair flashing in her azure eyes.

The fog enveloping the space grew thinner and thinner.

Without the cover of the thick fog, he would have absolutely no chance of winning against Zabuza Momochi.

The cold, demonic figure moved forward slowly with silent steps, raising its broad slashing blade into the air before bringing it down fiercely on her head.

Kuryu Mari instinctively closed her eyes.

Just as Momochi Zabuza was about to kill the reckless ninja, he suddenly stopped swinging his sword and instead used his broad blade, which was as thick as a door panel, to block behind him.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

A series of senbon needles were knocked away by the broadsword and disappeared into the grass.

Zabuza turned around and looked back.

A huge fireball came right in front of them.

boom!
The expanding fireball, a scorching orange-yellow, devoured Zabuza the moment it touched him, then flew all the way until it struck a large tree, scorching the thick trunk black with flames.

After spewing out a fireball, Shin Okamura didn't even look at his own victory, and he and Karin Tongzan rushed straight towards Mari Kurio, who was lying on the ground.

On the road where the two were charging forward.

Zabuza, who had just been melted by the fireball, appeared at some point beside Shin Okamura and the others, wielding his huge slashing sword and aiming it diagonally at Shin Okamura, who was constantly approaching Mari Kuryu.

The enormous cleaver carried wind blades powerful enough to cut through anything, as if it were about to cleave Okimura Shin and Toyama Karin in two.

Qiu Cunxin seemed oblivious, simply charging forward alongside Tongshan Huali.

The blade was about to behead Qiu Cunxin.

The massive scythe stood between the cleaver and Shin Okimura, taking the fatal blow for him.

"You're a bit slow!"

Akimura helped Kurio Mari up, and a green light shone from the center of Tongshan Karin's palm as he smoothed out the gash in Kurio Mari's abdomen.

"Cough cough... What are you all doing..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get going."

Yang Zhen formed hand seals, and his chakra was suddenly activated.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

call!
Thick fog once again spread through the space.

The game of hide-and-seek between Class 7 and the demon begins.
