Two more chunin were rushing to help from the other side of the manor, so the ningyo didn't have to worry about his subordinates, fending off the projectiles with his blade and concentrating on his enemies.
Nukenin, as the crossed-out hitai-te on their foreheads attested. The poor lighting made it impossible for the clone to distinguish the village signs, but judging by the elements, they were visitors from Iwa.
And the massive jonin, clearly focused on close combat, showed quite a bit of speed as he approached and unleashed a few swift blows of his stick on the defender.
The sword was already drawn from its sheath and Hiroshi brought the weapon to bear, setting up a hard block, wanting to gauge his opponent's strength and just a moment before touching down, blasting him with rayton chakra.
Metal clanked against metal, but contrary to expectation, the shinobi opposite didn't even twitch, having time to cover his weapon with a layer of chakra that didn't miss the discharge. After parrying all the blows and taking a moment, the mercenary went on the attack, forcing the nukenin to sweat in order not to miss several stabbing blows to the torso and arms, as well as a slashing one to the legs.
Barely avoiding the lightning-covered blade and realizing that he would lose very quickly because of the difference in skills, the attacking shinobi preferred to get into a clinch, blocking Hiroshi's sword and suddenly releasing one hand from the hilt of the baton and striking with a stone-encrusted fist.
And his partner, who was keeping behind him and quickly folding his handhelds, sealed his hand into the ground.
Kanpeki ningyo missed the attack by deftly deflecting his torso to the left, but in the next instant he was forced to push himself away from his foe and roll backward, avoiding the stone spears that sprang up from the ground and clashed with the rattle of the stone spears where he had just been.
Quickly leaping to his feet and before the enemy could get around the grown stone barrier, Hiroshi struck four very quick blows, sending two broad blades of raiton chakra into each of the attacking shinobi.
The jonins were forced to dash in different directions, avoiding the surprise attack, but he had no intention of hurting them - only to separate them and force them to save their own skin, not someone else's.
- Kawarimi!
Throughout the estate, Ryo's clone had scattered many Fuin marks on the stones scattered here and there beforehand, which he had successfully used for techniques now. Applying the substitute, he appeared behind the doting man and slashed his sword at the man who was not expecting it.
- Gah!
The ninjutsu specialist was too surprised by the unexpected attack of the enemy who had just been in another place, and only turned to attack, for which he paid with a severed arm raised in a defensive gesture and a blade that entered his shoulder, severing his collarbone and only slightly short of his spine.
Except, the dense raiton chakra on the weapon fried the wounds and savage pain instantly knocked the consciousness out of the shinobi.
- Taka!
