"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?" Mugetsu stroked his chin and said, "If they were to make a move, it wouldn't be surprising that the Hyuga clan member wouldn't even have time to destroy his eyes."

"They should be roughly located near the old shrine site in the Land of Whirlpools. Should we send an emergency signal?" Having been in the Anbu for so long, Uchiha Yui was naturally well aware of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's reputation and strength.

"No need." Wuyue waved her hand and said calmly, "That would only alert them. We should just act alone."

The former site of the Uzunokuni Shrine is located on the coast of a southern island.

The Uzumaki clan of Uzushio Village has revered the Sage of Six Paths as a god since ancient times, and established a shrine there to protect their people. But it was clearly to no avail. During World War II, the entire clan was wiped out by all the major powers except the Land of Fire, with only a few scattered members still surviving.

Without human maintenance and repair, the shrine is now riddled with holes and in a precarious state, with even the statue of the Sage of Six Paths broken and lying on the ground.

"I said, how much longer until we leave this godforsaken place?" Black Hoe Raiga, carrying a thunder sword on his back, looked impatient, his thick eyebrows furrowed. "It's not only cold, but also incredibly boring."

·

"It should be soon."

Pipa Juzo stroked the Executioner's Blade in his hand, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and said, "The news of the Byakugan has already reached the village. They've sent a ferry from there, which will take about four hours. So, it should only take a maximum of half an hour."

"Another half hour?!" Kurosuki Raiga kicked the Rokudo statue in front of him with obvious displeasure, showing no reverence for the gods whatsoever. "Damn it, I don't want to stay here for even a second longer!"

"Don't be impatient." Tongkusa Norihito slightly opened his tightly closed eyes and said calmly, "Don't make too much noise, or you'll be discovered by the Konoha ninjas."

"Hey! It's good that they found out!" Raiga Kurosuki said nonchalantly, "At least there's a fight going on, better than just waiting here!"

"Our most important task now is to protect the spoils of war." Juzo Biwa couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a sidelong glance. "If you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

"Damn it, who are you people?!" "No! Don't!" "Enemy, enemy attack!"

Just as they were talking, the ninjas on guard suddenly shouted. Then, a series of earth-shattering explosions followed, and a cloud of dust rose up not far away.

"Someone actually managed to break through?" Raiga Kurosuki, more pleased than surprised, drew his sword from his back. "Interesting, very interesting!"

"With such a commotion, these people who have come are probably quite powerful." Tongcao Yeren stood up, his eyes revealing a hint of caution.

"I'll go take a look." Pipa Juzo brandished his large sword and stepped forward.

"No need, I'm already here."

As the sound rang out, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the three, followed by a sharp blade of light, like a cascading moonlight, that surged toward the three of them.

Rumble.

Wherever the sword flashed, the ground cracked, rocks flew through the air, and countless dust and tiles flew up, instantly enveloping the entire area in front of the shrine in a cloud of smoke.

Swish swish.

The disheveled figures of Kurosuki Raiga, Hiwa Juzo, and Tsukakusa Norito emerged from the smoke. They all had several shallow knife marks on their bodies and were covered in dust.

Tapping.

A rhythmic sound of footsteps rang out, and Mugetsu, wearing a fox mask and holding a Zanpakuto, stepped out from the side.

His small frame was no match for the three adults in front of him, but the terrifying aura he exuded made the three swordsmen of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist look solemn.

Pipa Juzo swallowed hard and whispered, "What a terrifying attack. Is this guy really just a kid?"

"With that physique and that terrifying power, he must be the Celestial Dragon of Konoha." Kusanagi Yato stared intently at Mugetsu, not daring to be careless in the slightest. "A super genius who single-handedly turned the tide of battle on the Sand Village battlefield."

"A super genius?" Kurosuki Raiga's lips curled into a wicked smile. "It would be quite interesting to hold a lavish funeral for a guy like that!"

121. Hand over your eye rolls! Otherwise... I'll tear your underwear off!

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

funeral?

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth beneath the moonless mask. He was about to retort with a line that was both domineering and arrogant, like, "You don't even deserve to enjoy a funeral." But unexpectedly, the damn system seemed to dislike his clichéd way of showing off, and a notification sounded.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, hand over your eye rolls! Otherwise, I'll tear your underwear off!

Second, I can give you the cold shoulder, but first you have to flatter my chrysanthemum and flowers!

Third, choose to keep either the white eye or the butt eye.

What the hell...

Caught off guard, Wuyue almost shouted out a curse.

Under these circumstances, saying something like that would probably ruin the imposing title of "Konoha Celestial Dragon"! It would probably just turn him into a "perverted gay man"! Damn system, can you not be so unfair?

Ugh.

With a deep sigh, Wuyue was utterly devastated. Suppressing the urge to curse, she said, enunciating each word clearly, "Hey, you lot. Hand over your white eyes! Otherwise… I'll tear your underwear off!"

puff!

Damn it, this is so damn embarrassing! I'm so ashamed!

Fortunately, he was wearing an ANBU mask at the moment, otherwise he would probably be covering his face like a submissive.

Meanwhile, Kurosuki Raiga, Hibiki Juzo, and Tsubasa Norito, who were opposite him, were all stunned, their faces showing astonishment and surprise.

Tearing up his underwear? What kind of threat is that? Trading a pair of underwear for a disapproving look seems like a good deal, right? Is this "Konoha Celestial Dragon" out of his mind?

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

What was clearly a tense and serious scene of two opposing sides facing off took a strange turn because of a single sentence from Wuyue.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with twenty days of cultivation and two years of dragon growth cycle."

The notification sound in her mind finally eased Wu Yue's awkwardness somewhat. She let out a soft breath and raised the long sword in her hand. Feigning indifference, she said, "It seems you're not planning to give in so easily. So be it." With a tap of her foot on the ground, her figure vanished abruptly.

Swish.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Tongcao Yeren, the blade drawing a dazzling trajectory in mid-air.

puff.

A muffled thud.

A deep, bone-revealing gash appeared in the chest of the man named Tongkusa Norito, and blood spurted out. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he held his blunt sword, Kabuto-giri, in front of him; otherwise, this slash would have cleaved his body in two.

What terrifying speed! What terrifying swordsmanship!

The three members of Kirigakure all showed expressions of disbelief and astonishment, but they were, after all, elite ninjas who had experienced countless battles. Although they were caught off guard by Mugetsu's attack, they quickly recovered.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kusanagi Reito instantly retreated, attempting to create distance between himself and Mugetsu. Meanwhile, Kurosuki Raiga and Biwa Juzo each raised their weapons, attacking Mugetsu from the left and right respectively.

Clang.

The crisp sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out.

Three different swords clashed together. Mugetsu fought two against one, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. With a slight press of his right hand holding the Zanpakuto, he instantly forced the two people in front of him back.

"Is this guy a monster?"

"So strong, so incredibly strong!"

Both Raiga Kurosuki and Juzo Biwa's arms trembled, a reaction to the immense pressure they were under.

"Whose Byakugan is it?" Wuyue squinted at the three people not far away and muttered, "Forget it, let's not guess. Let's find them one by one after we kill them." She tapped her toes, about to activate Shunpo again.

But at that moment, a thick fog suddenly rose up, like countless layers of white gauze, enveloping the entire area.

"The technique of concealing oneself in mist?" Wuyue frowned. She felt things were starting to get a little troublesome.

He's not a sensory ninja, nor does he possess insightful eye techniques like the Byakugan or Sharingan. If the opponent is determined to play hide-and-seek with him, that would be incredibly frustrating. While he could use wide-range attack ninjutsu to resolve the situation, that would definitely waste a lot of time.

Fortunately, these Hidden Mist ninjas didn't seem to intend to use delaying tactics. Shortly after the mist rose, a series of loud explosions came from directly in front of him.

Fall!

Indeed, it was a massive waterfall with waves several meters high, the water surging and crashing down on Wuyue.

It is indeed Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow, formed a hand seal, and slammed it onto the ground.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

Boom!

A massive rock barrier rose from the ground, like a solid city wall, blocking all the giant waves.

But that wasn't all. Although the water couldn't break through the rock wall, it parted to two sides, flowing to Wuyue's feet. It turned the area around him into a wide stream. Suddenly, Hei Chui Lei Ya's figure emerged from the water behind Wuyue, lightning crackling from his palm.

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

Zzzzz, zzzzz.

Conducted by the water flow, a dazzling azure beam of light burst forth, enveloping Wu Yue completely, causing his body to stiffen and become paralyzed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kurozuki Raiga thrust his thunder blade forward without hesitation, and with a soft thud, it pierced Mugetsu's heart.

122. Strategies and Counter-Strategies

Zzzzz, zzzzz.

The instant the lightning blade pierced Wuyue's body, lightning exploded and crackled again, creating a terrifying circular electrostatic magnetic field.

"Such a beautiful sight should be worthy of your status." Raiga Kurosuki sneered, and said coldly, "The Celestial Dragon of Konoha~."

Killing such a peerless genius with his own hands clearly made him extremely proud. So much so that he didn't even notice why the blood flowing from the other's body wasn't bright red, but rather a deep blue like water.

It wasn't until the boy's body dissolved into a puddle of water that he suddenly realized, "This is... a water clone? When did this happen?"

"Well, right at the very beginning." The voice from behind startled Raiga Kurosuki.

Before he could even turn his head, he was struck by a powerful force, and his body flew forward like a dog face-first into the mud, skipping across the water's surface several times.

"The combination of Water Release and Lightning Release is not bad." Twisting his neck, Wuyue said calmly, "It's just a bit too slow."

Swish.

Before he could finish speaking, another figure darted out of the thick fog. A huge, slashed blade swept across Wuyue from left to right.

Huhu.

A strong wind howled, as if carrying immense force.

However, Wuyue merely glanced at it disdainfully before raising her right hand and gently grabbing at the direction from which the blade was coming.

Click.

The blade's momentum abruptly stopped; Wuyue gripped it with one hand, unable to advance any further.
