Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 154 You Save Me, I Capture You (Third Update)

A moment later, Minato rushed into the tent where the five members of the Uchiha clan, including Himeki, were located.

Irie has confirmed that Yubi is not nearby.

The group concluded that Yubi had likely followed the Sunagakure army to the battlefield.

Upon entering the tent, Minato noticed something amiss.

Himeki and the other four had their Sharingan activated, standing like wooden stakes, their limbs and expressions stiff—

Most importantly, judging from the situation inside the tent, the Uchiha clan members were not punished or imprisoned by Sunagakure at all, but were quite free.

And—their gazes were utterly numb, devoid of any spirit.

"Mr. Himeki—I am Minato Namikaze—"

Minato frowned slightly, but then cautiously whispered, "I'll take you away now—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato was about to step forward and place the spell marks on them.

Suddenly, Uchiha Himeki drew a kunai and thrust it at him.

Fortunately, Minato reacted quickly enough at such close range and dodged the attack.

If it were someone else—they would most likely fall victim to it.

"Um?"

Minato was startled.

Before he could even speak, the other four Uchiha clan members swarmed towards him and launched an attack.

Meanwhile, outside the base.

Irie and Konoha Chunin Horikawa were filled with trepidation.

As a Jonin, Irie couldn't help but admire the excellence of his junior, Minato.

During the first battle with Sunagakure, he coerced and forced Yubi, the Blood Doctor, who had penetrated deep into his own territory, to leave amidst the chaos of the battlefield, preventing him from killing more members of his clan from the village.

Later, he single-handedly acquired a hidden base in Sunagakure where medical resources were stored, making it difficult for Sunagakure's medical combat capabilities to be utilized on the battlefield.

Now he is leading the two of them to rescue Uchiha Himeki and others.

It's fair to say that without Minato, Konoha's attempt to rescue even a few Uchiha members would have been nothing short of a pipe dream.

Everything that Shuimen did was extremely dangerous.

But his mindset was remarkably calm.

Moreover, back when he sneaked into the Sand Village's base, Minato had secretly left behind a kunai bearing a jutsu mark—it was Premonition—

The meticulousness of planning demonstrates a high level of thoughtfulness.

Judging from the current situation of the two villages on the battlefield, the only one in the Konoha army who can hold off Blood Doctor Yubi one-on-one is Minato.

Just then, Irie's expression changed.

He rolled his eyes and saw that Himeki and the others in the tent had launched a bizarre attack on Minato!

"What happened?"

He was stunned.

But the next second, a chill made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He reacted instantly, grabbing Horikawa beside him and jumping ten meters away, landing on the ground in the forest.

Then he mobilized his chakra and entered battle mode.

Then, a small, sharp throwing knife was seen stuck in the tree trunk where the two of them had just been crouching.

The tree trunk was cut in two by a swaying, silvery thread and fell with a crash.

"I almost forgot—the Hyuga clan's Byakugan has a field of vision of almost 360 degrees without blind spots, so even a sudden sneak attack won't be very effective—"

A burst of laughter rang out as Yubi stood on another tree trunk, looking down at the Hyuga clan members who appeared to be facing a formidable enemy.

This person has the typical appearance of a Hyuga clan member, with long, flowing black hair and wearing green Jonin chainmail.

He wore a ninja hat, and his headband covered part of his forehead.

Yubi guessed that Minato would come and also anticipated that the other party was eager to save people.

Therefore, they deliberately used the Uchiha clan members as bait to lure Minato away.

He had already discovered their movements.

Unexpectedly, following the Uchiha, the Hyuga clan has arrived so quickly.

Blood Healer Yubi!

Looking at the boy, Irie assumed a classic martial arts stance.

His breathing was steady, but his eyes showed some surprise at Yubi's appearance.

At the same time, I realized something.

That is—the enemy had anticipated their infiltration.

Watergate—this is troublesome.

Compared to Irie's composure, Horikawa was pale and hurriedly took out the items he needed for the battle.

A pen and a roll of canvas.

"what?"

Yubi raised an eyebrow.

They immediately determined the combat strength of this Konoha Chunin: Super Beast Imitation Drawing!

Sai's methods in the Root organization in later generations.

"No wonder he brought a Chunin with him. After rescuing Himeki and the others, he immediately used the Super Beast Imitation Painting to fly away—" Yubi thought to himself.

"That's... his eye technique?"

Meanwhile, Irie was also observing Yubi.

Seeing the boy's red eyes that shimmered with golden light, he frowned.

Although the enemy was very young, he dared not be careless.

Because—the invisible aura emanating from this young man made him feel terrifying pressure.

In an instant—Yubi's pupils narrowed slightly.

Irie's consciousness trembled, and the boy in her vision suddenly became blurry, even appearing as a double image.

His body seemed to become incredibly heavy in an instant, as if it were filled with molten lead.

But the next second, Irie let out a soft shout, and his mind returned to clarity.

"sharp--"

Yubi was somewhat surprised.

His immobilization technique was something even the Uchiha Jonin couldn't break quickly, yet this Hyuga clan man before him had managed to do it.

"Eye power is just the foundation. In terms of perception alone, the Byakugan is undoubtedly more comprehensive than the Sharingan. He must have noticed the flow of chakra within me first, became alert, and immediately manipulated his chakra to deal with the situation upon sensing something was wrong."

Yubi analyzed.

It should be noted that he can also see the movement of chakra within a man's body.

Upon realizing this, it was even more so than when the fog rolled up.

Countless blades of light intertwined in the air, approaching the ground space where the two were located at a terrifying speed.

Block them.

The throwing knife was launched so fast that the Konoha Chunin couldn't react at all, and didn't even have time to draw.

Baguazhang Reverses Heaven!

Hyuga Irie took a step forward, unleashing a massive amount of Gentle Fist chakra from his internal chakra points. The chakra spun like a top, forming an indestructible chakra barrier that not only protected his comrades but also knocked down all of Yubi's throwing knives.

"A division of the family can turn the tide—"

Isn't this the same as Neji?

Yubi observed for a moment and concluded that, judging from the sheer power of this person's "Reversal of Heaven" technique, even his Blood Escape technique might not be able to break through it.

In terms of defensive capabilities alone, it is indeed astonishing.

boom!

As soon as the body rotation ended, Irie immediately swung his palm towards Yubi's position from a distance.

A chakra shockwave suddenly erupted.

But with Yubi's speed and reflexes, he could easily dodge it.

However, just as he moved to another corner, Irie's sprinting figure turned around and charged towards him.

The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist is primarily based on taijutsu (physical techniques). Only by getting close to the target can it be used in conjunction with the Byakugan to maximize its power.

Upon seeing this, Yubi felt reassured.

He unleashed two blood-escape ninjutsu techniques: Crimson Scale Leap and Winged King.

He was also afraid that this Jonin from the Hyuga clan would focus on defense and stall for time.

Waiting for Minato Namikaze to return—

After all, his time to capture this Hyuga clan member alive was very limited.

Once Watergate returns, it will be almost impossible for him to succeed again.

Bagua Empty Palm!

After closing the distance to a certain range, Hyuga Irie once again unleashed his palm technique, but this time he pushed out with both palms simultaneously.

The shockwave he unleashed covered an extremely wide area and possessed incredible power.

Not only did the ground beneath their feet churn up in waves of dust, but even large swathes of trees around Yubi were instantly pulverized and propelled high into the air by the force of the impact.
