Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Right now, only Chiri, Koharu, and Torifu remain on the battlefield.

Koharu placed the wind-gathering vessel inside Susanoo and lay it flat before jumping onto the sea.

Upon seeing this, Chiri immediately shouted, "Sister Koharu, come back quickly! You can't beat him. We still have a chance inside Susanoo!"

Xiaochun turned around and smiled: "Zhili, concentrate."

He then turned his head and stared intently at the guard.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A roaring water dragon rose from the sea and lunged at the guard.

But with a casual wave of his hand, he scattered it.

It spewed out a flame that was several times larger than the water dragon.

Koharu managed to withstand the attack with great difficulty, and upon seeing this, Jiri immediately transferred the remaining chakra from the sea of ​​flowers to Koharu.

As the chakra surged into her body, Koharu smiled.

She then quickly formed hand seals, mobilizing all the chakra within her body.

This feeling of fighting to the death made even the guards take it seriously.

"Water Release-Big Explosive Water Wave!"

A massive surge of water rose from the sea and burst forth! But its target wasn't the guards! It was the firewall closest to Chiri!

The water jet easily extinguished the fire wall: "Chiri, take Torifu and leave!"

Zhili was extremely shocked. She hadn't expected that Xiaochun had gone out to fight so that she could escape.

A long time ago, Xiaochun transitioned into a medical ninja and no longer specializes in combat.

Today, however, it was all to create an opportunity for her and Qu Feng to escape...

After a brief hesitation, Chiri immediately fled through the gap in the fire wall.

The guard immediately gave chase. Xiaochun, who had no strength left, tried to stop him, but he kicked her away and she fainted on the sea.

The guards were in excellent physical condition and were much stronger, so they quickly caught up with Chiri!

He leaped up suddenly and landed steadily in front of Zhili.

"It's over. You've lost."

Zhili stared intently at him, hugging Qufeng even tighter: "You despicable bastard!"

The guard remained expressionless: "Say what you will, hand him over to me."

"dream!"

With no way out, he had no choice but to fight to the death! Chiri drew his sword and slashed at the guard! But the guard easily blocked it and then kicked Chiri away.

He leaped high into the air and slashed down! Chiri quickly rolled to dodge the blow, but was frozen for a second due to the guard's illusion.

Then a powerful fireball slammed into Chiri's chest.

Blood spurted from her mouth, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Even the most elite Jonin cannot defeat a Kage-level ninja. This is destiny."

Chiri lay on the sea surface, blood dripping from her mouth into the sea, while the unconscious Torifu floated on the surface as well.

Susanoo slowly disintegrated. Chiri knew he couldn't defeat this guard, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly, without gaining any time at all.

Chiri held Torifu's hand and turned to look at him: "Is this how it ends?"

She was unwilling to accept defeat like this, and she was unwilling to let Qu Feng be controlled by such a treacherous villain!

"It's not over yet!"

With his last breath, Chiri stood up, mobilized all the chakra in his body, and activated Susanoo again, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

The crimson Susanoo reappeared on the sea, surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, ready to spread at any moment.

Just as Chiri was about to engage in another life-or-death battle with the guards, she felt the wind's fingers twitch slightly.

Zhili immediately turned to look at Qufeng and found that Qufeng's eyes were trembling slightly before he slowly opened them.

"Zhili? What's wrong with you?"

Chapter 291 The Guard's True Face

Zhili immediately turned to look at Qufeng and found that Qufeng's eyes were trembling slightly before he slowly opened them.

"Zhili? What's wrong with you?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in Chiri's voice: "Torufu? You're awake?"

Tori wiped away the blood and tears from Chiri's eyes, then looked at the guard: "Did he beat you up like this? Where are Hiruzen and the others?"

Seeing that Toru had woken up, Chiri could finally relax, and the tension that had been building up finally eased.

"Hiruzen and the others were knocked unconscious by him while trying to protect me as I escaped."

At this moment, Zhili was very happy and did not feel like crying. The fact that Toru could wake up made her genuinely happy.

Such a long period of resistance has not been in vain!

Seeing that Yun Zhongqufeng had awakened, the guard immediately mobilized all his chakra and slashed at Zhili!

He could only attack while Qu Feng had just awakened and his strength had not yet recovered! Otherwise, he would have no chance of winning!

The guard's sword was wreathed in flames! With a single swing, it seemed to carry immense power, making Chizuri's Susanoo appear almost insignificant!

There was no time for idle chatter; we were all focused on managing the crisis and fighting back! But the power of this blow was simply too great.

Even though Chiri had used all her strength, she couldn't withstand the guard's knife.

Just as Susanoo was about to be destroyed, Torika grasped Jiri's hand.

In an instant, pale pink crystals spread upwards from the soles of Susanoo's feet! They then completely enveloped Susanoo, forming a new suit of armor around it!

Even Chiri's longsword was covered in crystal! It shone brightly and was sharp under the sunlight!

The guard's katana shattered instantly, and he himself was thrown back by the impact.

"You hurt my friend, and whoever you are, you're not leaving here today."

Chiri and Torifu joined forces and slashed at the guard! Torifu increased his chakra output! For a moment, Chiri's blade flashed with dazzling light!

With a single slash, it was as if the first rays of dawn were tearing through the eternal silence of the night!

The guard's Susanoo was instantly cut in two at the waist!

Although Touka did not use ninjutsu, but simply activated his chakra, even so, the guard was no match for Touka.

If the fighting continues, he will surely die; we have no choice but to retreat!

But how could Kefeng give him that chance! He swung his katana high and brought it down in a flash!

The guard felt the threat of death! His Mangekyou Sharingan activated! Several invisible chains bound the descending blade!

But the chains were far from enough to withstand the blow; they snapped in the blink of an eye.

But that was enough; in the span of a single breath, the guard abruptly retreated.

With a single slash, the remaining half of the dissipating Susanoo was cleaved in two!

In addition, there were masks that the guards never took off.

The iron mask was cleaved in two by the chakra overflowing from the blade, just like wood. If it had been a centimeter longer, the guard would have been dead.

The two masks fell into the sea, revealing the guard's face to Chiri and Tokifu.

"Uchiha Setsuna! How could it be you!"

The question about getting the wind slipped out!

Chiri couldn't believe that the Uchiha clansman who had caused them so much trouble was actually the long-lost Uchiha Setsuna!

But he had already disappeared before the night of the rebellion! How did he end up here, and even awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Moreover, judging from Tokifumi's expression, he was also quite surprised to see Uchiha Setsuna here.

But Uchiha Setsuna was very puzzled: "You actually know me? It seems this isn't our first encounter."

His face was expressionless, showing neither fear nor panic.

"I guess I was just unlucky this time. See you next time."

Then blood and tears streamed from his eyes, and invisible chains reappeared, binding Susanoo tightly!

This time, the resilience was far greater than before. By the time Chiri broke free, Uchiha Setsuna had already vanished.

Qu Feng remained extremely surprised and puzzled.

Chiri gripped Torifu's hand tightly: "What's wrong, Torifu? Do you still remember Uchiha Setsuna?"

Qu Feng came to his senses and nodded: "Of course I remember, I killed him with my own hands back then."

Now it was Zhili's turn to be surprised: "How is that possible? Are you mistaken, or did he manage to escape?"

Qu Feng shook his head: "Impossible. He was hit and killed by me using the Cloud Transformation technique. You know that move. There was no way he could escape."

Then, Torukaku recounted the whole story to Chiri, leaving Chiri completely bewildered.

How could someone who has been dead for many years suddenly come back to life?

The two proposed many hypotheses, but all of them were ruled out.

Finally, Tokifumi said, "Alright, stop thinking about it so much. Let's go back and find Hiruzen and the others first."

Thus, the two stopped their discussion about Uchiha Setsuna.

When they returned to the place and found Hiruzen and the others, they had been unconscious for a long time. Fortunately, none of them had swallowed water, otherwise they would have sunk to the bottom by now.

Then, Toru began to treat Hiruzen and the others.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Setsuna, who had escaped, had already reached the shore.

As soon as he stepped ashore, the 'Second Prince' emerged from the woods and came to his side.

"This plan has failed, and the adults will be furious."
