My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 27 The Fourth Person and Kaoru

In the rain, a great battle broke out.

The attackers either wore masks or covered their faces with scarves, all concealing their true identities. The ninjutsu they used was also unsystematic, including water release, wind release, and weapon techniques. They had no tacit understanding with each other and relied solely on instinct to coordinate.

Like Hyuga Yuto, they also saw Takeda Seigen's bounty at the exchange and were attracted by the huge number, so they came to do assassin work.

The Land of Rain is plagued by civil war, with various factions vying for power and lacking unity. The death of a Jonin can cause no significant disturbance, making it a chaotic place that assassins love to frequent.

The assassins unleashed swift and deadly attacks, aiming to annihilate Takeda Seigen. Although the Land of Rain was plagued by internal strife, the newly emerging Akatsuki organization was said to be quite united. If they failed to capture the land after a prolonged siege and Takeda Seigen's reinforcements arrived, the assassins' situation would be dire.

However, Takeda's strength was very strong. He was skilled in water-style techniques and his ninjutsu was also above average. He used two chakra daggers, which flashed white light when he swung them. They were extremely sharp, and any kunai that touched them would be immediately cut in half.

hum hum...

The chakra dagger sliced ​​through the rain, emitting a strange tremor. Takeda Seigen was extremely fast, using the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique to rush behind an assassin, and swung his dagger fiercely. The dagger sliced ​​into the enemy's nape, cutting the body in half like butter.

boom!

Takeda Seigen dealt with an opponent, but in doing so, he exposed his back. An assassin seized the opportunity, his arm wrapped around a hard rock, and struck Takeda Seigen's spine with a loud thud. The fourth-ranking member of the Akatsuki was sent flying, crashing into the wall of a steel building on the street, denting the alloy.

Hinata Yuto raised an eyebrow:

"That's the strength of a Konoha Special Jonin... The most noteworthy point is those two chakra weapons, but it seems Takeda Seigen won't last much longer..."

He observed the battlefield. Under the continuous onslaught of the assassins, Takeda Seigen's wounds were increasing. Although two more assassins had died, it was clear to anyone with eyes that this fourth-ranking member of the Akatsuki organization could not hold out for long.

There was no other way, so he decided to double-cross them, Hyuga Yuto thought. He needed that money.

He concentrated his chakra in his eyes, activated his Byakugan, and once again, a gray-black, transparent vision descended.

"Huh?" Hyuga Yuto frowned suddenly and stopped what he was doing.

He rolled his eyes and saw the figure hidden underground.

Crunch!

A violent scraping sound rang out as an assassin blocked Takeda Seigen's chakra blade. He used something resembling a spider web, which, although seemingly weak, was extremely resilient. After withstanding the first wave of impact from the chakra weapon, it immediately regenerated, tightly binding the short dagger and rendering it unable to move an inch.

"Ha! A head worth thirty million taels!" The assassin laughed, gripping his kunai in reverse and slashing at Takeda Seigen's neck.

However, to his surprise, just as he was about to remove the precious head in one go, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his foot.

"Wind Release: Wind Slicing Technique!"

Tiny wind blades attacked from below, completely destroying the assassin's leg muscles and severely damaging his bones.

puff!

Seizing the opportunity, Takeda Seigen thrust his chakra blade forward, easily severing the assassin's throat.

The woman broke through the ground and stood back-to-back with Takeda Seigen.

"Kaoru! What are you doing here!" Takeda Seigen, who had been rescued, was a little anxious.

"you……"

"You talk too much nonsense, Captain. A man is more charming when he's silent."

"Hmph..." Takeda Seigen muttered something sullenly and didn't say anything more.

In the rain, the fighting resumed.

Takeda Seigen and Asano Kaoru's teamwork was astonishing. Hyuga Yuto could see it clearly: the two of them didn't need to communicate at all, not even exchange glances, to complete a perfect coordinated attack.

A hastily assembled assassin team is no match for a duo who have entrusted their backs to each other.

After losing three more lives, the assassins at the Gold Exchange finally lost their will and escaped using various stealth techniques.

Having repelled the formidable enemy, Takeda Seigen, panting heavily, wiped the sweat and blood from his face and turned back to say:

"Kaoru, thank you so much this time... but your injuries aren't..."

"It's alright." The woman named Asano Kaoru had a cold expression, but her words were somewhat sharp and sarcastic.

"Captain, if you really want to die, you can jump into the river yourself. That way, at least you'll have a whole corpse."

"Kaoru, you idiot, I don't want to fight fifteen people at once, but I have to see all the civilians leave before I can retreat."

"If you had run away from the start, the assassins would have followed you."

"What if they try to force me to show myself by threatening to massacre the protesters?"

"Heh..." Asano Kaoru shook her head, her tone indifferent:

"Your life is worth far more than those civilians'. It's only right that they die and you live."

"Kaoru," Takeda Seigen began earnestly, giving her a lecture:

"We, Xiao, are an organization founded out of love. Conflicts between people stem from insufficient communication. Just as our leader said, we want to become a bridge between the world..."

Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

They turned around and stood up almost at the same moment. A formidable enemy appeared, and beads of sweat dripped down their faces, but they still assumed a fighting stance.

A person wearing tinted goggles and a thick black robe emerged from the shadows.

There were bulging, menacing veins around his eyes.

Hyuga Yuto walked silently toward the other person without saying a word.

He could see very clearly that the two people opposite him were both special Jonin level, their teamwork was excellent, and although they seemed to be chatting casually, they were secretly on high alert. It was a battle of trapped beasts, and they were not easy to deal with.

Therefore, Hyuga Yuto activated his Byakugan from the start, launching a direct attack to pressure his opponent, intending to gain a psychological advantage first.

Asano Kaoru clasped her hands together, silently circulating her chakra, preparing to unleash another ninjutsu.

However, at this moment, Takeda Seigen spoke first:

"Byakugan... You're a Konoha ninja."

Hinata Yuto nodded slightly.

Seeing that the other side intended to communicate, Takeda Seigen continued:

"I don't know why you came to the Land of Rain, nor do I know if your purpose in showing up is to kill me, but as your subordinate, I must convey the leader's will."

"The leader I serve told me that he really wants to find a Konoha ninja."

Yahiko? Looking for Konoha ninjas? Hyuga Yuto was surprised.

"The leader said he wants to ask the Konoha ninja to do something... To put everyone at ease, you can choose the location and time."

Takeda Seigen shrugged:

"The leader said that in a crisis, this statement might save your life, provided you are interested in our leader."

"How is it? The unfamiliar Hyuga Byakugan, is it war or peace?"
