"Swoosh!"
"Tap, tap!"
"Hmm?" Ashita sensed a hint of hostility, immediately looking around, but he couldn't see anything in the pitch black.
"Swoosh!"
"Slap!"
"This is…" This time, the sound was much louder, Ashita followed the sound and saw a figure in a white robe. Haryu, who had been under the tree just now, had somehow woken up, and had knocked away the kunai that was aimed at him. "Captain, you're awake. Why did you suddenly wake up?" Ashita looked at the unbelievable phenomenon and couldn't help but ask. Logically, Tenryū should have been fast asleep.
"Hmm, my sensory ability detected a strong malice. Quickly wake up Tsuki and Yomi. Now, we're going to fight." Haryu didn't turn around, his eyes fixed on the enemy in front of him, he assumed the starting stance of Tenryū Flow, and calmly said to Ashita.
"Okay." Ashita stopped joking around, immediately jumped down, stepped on both of them, and roughly woke them up. "Wake up quickly, we're going to fight!"
The long-term awareness of ninjas, Tsuki and Yomi were still good. As soon as Ashita's foot landed, they immediately jumped up, Tsuki even drew his sword in a smooth motion.
"Who are you?" Haryu moved back, his eyes fixed on the mask in front of him, his voice was a little nervous as he asked.
"We're here to kill you." The man in the black robe replied emotionlessly.
"Who sent you?" Haryu saw that he would answer, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"A dying man doesn't need to know." Like a cold, lifeless corpse, the man's voice was emotionless. There was no vigilance against the night, no desire for battle, no excitement for blood…
"Hmm. Then let's try it." Haryu, seeing that he couldn't get more information, didn't hesitate, he directly landed on the ground and joined his teammates.
"The enemy is a team, with an average strength of jōnin. It's a very difficult battle. The tactic is to delay and escape." Haryu leaned against his teammates, sharing the information he had observed with them.
"They're all jōnin? … It's really difficult." Yomi bit her lip, a little nervous. She had seen life and death situations before, but the people in front of her made her a little confused. Their masks weren't the Anbu masks of any of the five great nations, but their clothes were so uniform. "What kind of organization is this?"
"You guys start running. Yomi, set up a barrier, Ashita and Tsuki, protect her well." This time, Haryu directly gave clear instructions. And there was a reason for doing so. Currently, his team of four were all back-to-back, forming a square, but the enemy wasn't, all four of them were clustered in his direction. This obvious targeting made him give the previous instructions.
"Captain Tenryū, you…" Tsuki thought it was inappropriate, so he didn't move.
"Let's go, you guys can see it too, right? They… are targeting me." Haryu's voice slowly turned cold, a hint of childishness disappeared with each word. As if he had made a decision, his aura suddenly changed.
Whew!
The cold wind in the middle of the night in the forest wasn't just talk, but the eight people present didn't care about the wind.
The battle was about to begin.
"You're pretty smart. Then leave your life here." The leader, wearing a skunk mask, was the first to speak, and the three team members, after this sentence, quickly surrounded Haryu.
That's right, just Haryu. The three behind him were kicked in the side of the neck by the man. They fainted directly.
"Do it yourself, or we'll help you?" After eliminating the threat of the three, the man with the skunk mask walked to a spot one meter away from Haryu, stretched out his hand, and a dagger lay on it. This was the knife used for suicide.
Haryu was still in the Tenryū Flow stance, seeing the enemy so close, he directly pushed out a palm!
Tenryū Flow: First Style: Needle Through a Hole!
Bang!
A muffled sound, the palm hit another palm. The man in front of him sensed Haryu's movement, quickly reacted, and used his palm to block the palm.
"I thought kids were all spineless. Then I'll have to kill you."
"Crap, he seems serious. Chakra is moving, is it in his hand? … Earth Release." As expected, after a moment, the man pressed his hands hard on the ground.
"Earth Release: Ground Quake Core!" With a low roar, a square plate began to fall, straight down into the depths.
"You don't have to do this… an A-rank jutsu right from the start. But this depth can also allow me to use a distraction." Haryu was surprised, he thought the other side would probe first. It seemed that he had been underestimated again.
"Wind Clone! Water Clone! Fire Clone!" Haryu thought for a moment, then decided to use three clones to fight.
"Alright, let's launch a surprise attack first." Battles are about rhythm, if you seize the enemy's rhythm, then you have a chance of winning. But if you're always led by the enemy, then you're sure to die.
"Fire Release: Blazing Foot!" The Fire Clone used jutsu first, using his bare feet to walk on walls, in an instant he jumped out of the hole, and directly entangled the nearest female ninja.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!" The real body used jutsu, sending the Wind Clone and Water Clone out.
"Alright, next it's my turn to make a move." Saying this, Haryu dived into the earth.
On the ground, the four ninjas in black robes looked at Haryu, who suddenly flew out, with some surprise.
"This kid is interesting, he didn't give up. Then let's just kill him directly." The captain gave the order, and the three team members drew their weapons. All of them were standard short swords.
"Short swords? … This is interesting." Haryu noticed this, and continued to lurk underground. "Good thing there's no sensory ninja, otherwise, the sneak attack would be useless."
The Wind Clone faced a burly man, and was using his agility to entangle the burly man. The Water Clone was facing a more agile ninja, and it seemed to be struggling. At this moment, the captain slashed his sword high towards the Water Clone.
Haryu saw that the time was right, so he took advantage of the captain's leaning forward, and rushed to the surface in one go.
"Earth Release: Heart Severing Technique!"
Success! Haryu leaped out of the earth, burying the captain underground, then kicked the ninja who was entangled with the Water Clone, then he suddenly kicked off the ground with one foot, charging towards the burly man!
Tenryū Flow: First Style: Horizontal Whip!
He used his strongest taijutsu right from the start, forcefully whipping the burly man's back knee, knocking him to his knees, the Wind Clone seized the opportunity, and gave him a hard kick on the head, knocking him over.
The Fire Clone had been suppressing the female ninja from the beginning, so now, without a doubt, he was gradually pushing her back.
"This kid. Alright, everyone, get serious!" The captain, with his head sticking out of the earth, roared, and the four of them regrouped.
Now, it was a head-on four-on-four.
"Four adults bullying a kid, you're really shameless." Haryu saw that the other side had all stood up, and the captain had also climbed out of the earth, so he started attacking verbally first.
"To achieve our goal, we will stop at nothing." The female ninja looked directly at Haryu, her voice was also so calm.
Cold.
These people, they were like… puppets.
"No need for nonsense. Finish it before dawn." The captain slowly raised both hands, formed hand seals, and ordered.
"Yes." The other three said in unison, then scattered from the captain's side, jumped, and surrounded Haryu and his clones from four directions.
"You're really going to do four against one? Alright. Then I'll have to make a big commotion, hopefully someone will come." Haryu saw that he was trapped, and prepared to buy time for reinforcements.
"Water Release: Great Water Wave Explosion!" The captain decided to strike first, seeing that his team was in place, he summoned a chakra-infused torrent on the field, and it roared towards Haryu.
"Water Release? … Then I'll use Earth Release. But Lightning Release would be bad. Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Haryu remembered the mutual generation and restraint of chakra attributes, although with his chakra, he couldn't completely block this attack, but relying on the relationship of earth overcoming water, he could buy himself some time.
Time was crucial in this battle.
In order for the other team members to use their combination jutsu, the three clones had already jumped out of the water and found an opponent. But this time, under Haryu's instructions, their targets had changed.
The Fire Clone was the fastest, and he faced the agile male ninja. The Wind Clone had the ability to repel, and it was best for creating distance, so he faced the female ninja. The remaining Water Clone had a certain control ability, and fighting the burly man could play a restraining role.
"But, after all, they're just clones. They can't restrain for a long time. Then I have to be a little faster." Thinking this, Haryu jumped as well, falling from the rock wall towards the water, while forming hand seals.
"Coming down? This is my turf!" Saying this, the captain rushed towards Haryu, but not on the surface of the water, but underwater.
"Hmm? Is this also an application of jutsu? Interesting." Haryu watched the enemy disappear into the water, his interest was piqued, and he was eager to see his current posture.
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!" Without hesitation, Haryu launched the jutsu he had prepared earlier. He plunged his hand into the water, recklessly releasing Lightning Release chakra.
"Hmm, this level can't reach me, no need to go up. Water Release: Water Shuriken!" Floating underwater, watching the lightning bolts spreading towards him, the captain carefully analyzed the damage of the lightning bolts and his own defense, then calmly formed hand seals and used the next jutsu.
Water shurikens formed from water currents gushed up from underwater, aiming at Haryu, who was squatting on the surface of the water.
"Hmm? Something's coming, it's pretty fast." Haryu sensed the dense chakra fluctuations, flying towards him at high speed, so he didn't hesitate, he did a backflip and left his position.
As soon as Haryu left, the shurikens broke through the water, piercing the water that had been splashed up by his movements.
"It seems like I didn't hurt him. Is it not enough damage or not enough distance?" Haryu didn't care about his threat, instead, he began to think about the flaws in his techniques. "Let's use the clones to test it out first."
