"Damn it, they're almost here..."

"I must find a way to stop them, even if it costs me my life, I must buy Fengtian three days!"

In a dimly lit, cramped corner, Shisui lowered his voice and muttered to himself.

As an elite ninja of Konoha, he was all too familiar with the formidable Byakugan ability of the Hyuga clan!

Once those guys get within a few hundred meters, Fengtian's hiding place will be impossible to hide any longer!

At that time, the process of absorbing the tailed beast's chakra will inevitably be interrupted, and all their carefully planned schemes will be in vain!

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed deep in Shisui's eyes, and then his figure slowly disappeared. He was going to deal with these Hyuga clan ninjas in his own way!

Shisui moved through the shadows like a ghost, his Sharingan flashing a cold light in the darkness. Every step he took was calculated with extreme precision, ensuring that he would not be exposed to any possible line of sight.

Soon, he quietly approached the Hyuga clan ninjas who were searching for him.

These ninjas were completely focused on sensing the fluctuations of chakra around them, unaware that Shisui was approaching.

Shisui took a deep breath, and his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly glared, instantly activating a powerful genjutsu!

However, the Hyuga clan ninjas were not to be underestimated. Their Byakugan sensed the anomaly the moment the genjutsu was activated, and they all raised their heads alertly, trying to break free from the genjutsu's control.

But would Zhishui give them that chance?

He gritted his teeth, and the light in his Sharingan grew even brighter, increasing the power of his genjutsu and trapping several Hyuga ninjas firmly within his genjutsu world.

"I'm sorry, but this is the only way for the plan to succeed."

Zhi Shui said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and determination.

Under the influence of the genjutsu, the Hyuga ninjas became slow and clumsy. They began to act according to Shisui's will, moving away from the underground cave where Fengtian was hiding and heading in another direction.

Seeing this, Shisui breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he knew it was only temporary.

Currently, many Hyuga clan ninjas have not yet fallen into the genjutsu. I must find them all before they discover Fengtian and defeat them one by one!

Shisui pondered to himself, and quickly adjusted his strategy, deciding to adopt a more direct and efficient approach.

He accelerated again, like a black lightning bolt in the night, weaving through the Hyuga ninjas.

With each approach, Shisui would unhesitatingly activate genjutsu, using the powerful force of the Mangekyou Sharingan to drag his enemies into the world of illusion.

However, the Hyuga clan ninjas were not entirely unprepared.

They quickly realized the power of still water and began to cooperate, attempting to use their white eyes to help each other break the illusion.

Upon seeing this, Shisui curled his lips into a cold smile.

He knew all too well that the real battle had only just begun.

He used the special abilities of the Sharingan to constantly change the form and effect of his genjutsu, making it difficult for the Hyuga ninjas to grasp his patterns.

At the same time, he cleverly used the terrain and shadows to create more opportunities for himself.

During a fierce battle, Shisui suddenly appeared behind a Hyuga ninja, and with a light tap of his finger, a subtle chakra fluctuation instantly pierced through the opponent's body.

"This is... a perfect combination of illusion and physical combat!"

The Hyuga ninja was shocked to find himself unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Shisui disappeared before his eyes.

Shi Shui did not stop; he continued to move across the battlefield, each strike precise and deadly.

His Sharingan was like the gaze of the Grim Reaper, instilling unprecedented fear in the Hyuga ninjas.

Finally, through Shisui's relentless efforts, he defeated all the Hyuga ninjas one by one.

Some of them became deeply entangled in the illusion and could not extricate themselves, while others were subdued by Shisui's exquisite physical skills.

Standing in the center of the battlefield, looking at the enemies scattered all over the ground, Shisui felt an indescribable surge of pride.

He knew that although this battle was difficult, he had successfully bought precious time for Fengtian.

"Now it's up to you guys."

Shisui muttered to himself, turning to look towards the underground cave, his eyes gleaming with determination.

He knew his mission was not yet complete. He had to continue guarding this secret place until Fengtian finished absorbing the tailed beast's chakra.

In this process, he was willing to be the first unbreakable barrier, blocking all invading enemies.

However, just as he relaxed his vigilance slightly, a beautiful figure appeared silently behind him like a ghost!

In that instant, Shisui felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, and alarm bells rang loudly!

He turned his head sharply, only to find Cheng Yun staring at him with a mocking expression, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

"Brother Shisui, you can't hide your little tricks from my eyes..."

Cheng Yun's words drifted into his ears like a ghost, carrying a hint of teasing and provocation.

Zhi Shui dared not be negligent and quickly used the Instantaneous Movement Technique, instantly creating a distance of several body lengths between himself and Cheng Yun.

He quickly gripped the short sword behind his back, the coolness from the hilt instantly sobering him up.

He stared intently at Cheng Yun ahead, his face so dark it seemed to drip water, his deep voice carrying a hint of displeasure and wariness:

"When...did you start targeting me?"

"I noticed you even before you were eavesdropping on our conversation."

Cheng Yun smiled, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing:

"After all, your Kotoamatsukami poses a great threat to me. If I don't take some measures, I could easily fall into a trap..."

As Cheng Yun finished speaking, Zhi Shui suddenly realized!

It turned out that Cheng Yun had already discovered him while he was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Cheng Yun then turned the tables on him, deliberately letting these Hyuga clan ninjas deplete Shisui's chakra and energy, preventing him from releasing Kotoamatsukami!

As for the light orbs she sent out earlier…

"Zhishui, do you think you can make me unable to find Fengtian just by putting them into a hallucination?"

"whee…."

"Look what this is!"

As Cheng Yun's slightly teasing words fell softly, a dazzling ball of light instantly condensed in her hand as if by magic!

Then, with a gentle exertion, the ball of light in her hand shattered like a fragile bubble.

At the same time, the orbs of light in the hands of the Hyuga clan ninjas seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, and they all shattered at the same moment.

In an instant, powerful and mysterious [space-time power] suddenly surged forth, like surging waves, pulling them all back to reality from that intricate illusionary world!

"Unexpected, isn't it? Surprising, isn't it?!"

"I'm curious, Shisui-kun, what will you do next...?"
