"Secret Technique! Dusk Blade..."
Uehara Naraku slowly opened his palm, and a broad, purple Chakra Light Blade appeared beside him, looking both crystal clear and extremely sharp.
Kind of likable.
A group of determined Konoha Root Ninja died at Uehara Naraku's hands, but they triggered a richly rewarding legacy mission for him.
What's called a surprise?
This is called a surprise!
But now is not the time to celebrate, because Teacher Konan's battle isn't over yet, although Uehara thinks it's not far from ending.
How could this group of Konoha Root Ninja possibly stand against Teacher Konan?
"Destiny..."
Uehara Naraku muttered softly, and sure enough, Zetsu's avatar appeared on the destiny panel.
Zetsu really was still following them!
What exactly is this guy plotting?
It's a pity that Zetsu is still hiding underground, not knowing what he intends to do. Could it be just to monitor them?
Underground.
White Zetsu sensed the battle above and said faintly, "That little guy Uehara Naraku finishes battles too quickly. In less than half a minute, he killed two squads of ninja... If I pop out now, won't he notice?"
"No rush."
Black Zetsu sighed and said, "Wait a bit longer. Sneak the intelligence scroll into a corpse when the battle gets a bit chaotic."
Since Zetsu keeps hiding, Uehara Naraku couldn't just smash through the ground and drag them out, so he turned and watched Konan's battle.
Teacher Konan was gracefully dancing in the air, evading every Ninjutsu and long-range ninja tool, descending toward the Konoha Ninja!
Uehara actually thought it looked beautiful.
No wonder Uchiha Madara always talks about dancing...
Some ninjas in combat truly look better than dance!
"Mind Body Transfer Jutsu!"
Just then, Yamanaka Fuu, who was hiding in the corner observing the battle, suddenly saw an opportunity, made a hand gesture, and targeted the descending Konan!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment!
The next second, the situation was reversed.
In the Ninja World, there are always some strange secret techniques that can turn the tide in desperate situations, achieving an incredible comeback.
The airborne Konan suddenly plummeted straight down!
The Mind Body Transfer Jutsu of the Yamanaka Family instantly deprives the enemy of body control upon hitting, allowing those with strong spiritual energy to control the enemy's body.
"Teacher's taken a fall..."
Uehara Naraku saw this scene, cried and laughed, and took to the air, rushing toward Konan, wanting to catch her from the sky.
Who would have expected that when Uehara caught Konan, she opened her eyes and stared angrily at Uehara Naraku, shouting, "Don't underestimate the ninjas from Konoha, you guys!"
A paper spear suddenly sprang from Konan's hand, aiming at Uehara's chest!
Konan was being controlled by the Mind Body Transfer Jutsu!
Uehara's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to activate The Moment of Holy Judgment's invincibility to block this sneak attack, then punch the blue-haired woman beside him away!
He had too many skills to handle such situations.
However, recalling Konan's attitude toward him...
Uehara's hand felt the warmth and softness around Konan's waist. Gritting his teeth, he dodged the paper spear's fatal point, allowing it to pierce through his shoulder.
Even unintentionally harming him in battle, the guilty conscience of a teacher would surely not refuse a student's request, right?
The depths of affection have never lasted; only a well-laid plan can win the heart.
Uehara Naraku sighed internally, thinking how strictly Konan managed him.
In exchange for the wound on his shoulder, was he going to trade it for a Red Cloud Black Robe?
Or the right to freely read Make-Out Paradise?
Only children make choices. Uehara Naraku, of course, chose to have it all!
Yamanaka Fuu's Mind Body Transfer Jutsu couldn't last long, especially since the power of the chosen Konan far exceeded his expectations.
Konan quickly regained consciousness.
After her eyes cleared, her body remained motionless, allowing Uehara Naraku to hold her as they descended to the ground.
Once they landed safely, Konan's gaze slowly shifted past Uehara Naraku's forced smile, settling on the wound the paper spear had made on his shoulder.
The blue-haired woman's gaze grew increasingly complex.
Was it guilt?
Was it concern?
No, it was fear!
The next moment!
"Who told you to risk coming to save me!"
Konan suddenly raised her hand!
She was about to slap Uehara's face!
"Teacher Konan?"
Uehara Naraku looked at Konan, bewildered and confused. Why didn't this scene unfold the way he imagined?
Clearly, he risked his life to save her!
If she didn't comfort him, at least gentle words should appease him, right?
The next second, Konan stopped her hand, crouched down, and wrapped her arms around Uehara Naraku's shoulder, her tears falling on his shoulder: "I'm sorry..."
"Wind Release: Wind Cutting!"
"Wind Release: Sky-cutting Wave!"
The Konoha Ninja seized the opportunity, throwing shuriken and using ninjutsu, flying toward Uehara Naraku and Konan.
Konan's body instantly turned into sheets of white paper, quickly forming a paper shield, blocking all incoming Wind Release Jutsu and shuriken.
The paper shield quickly dispersed!
Countless sheets of white paper whirled like a storm!
The Konoha Root Ninja were instantly surrounded by rings of white paper!
"Die!"
Konan's angry voice echoed amidst the paper, her rage manifesting as countless sheets folding into paper shuriken, shooting densely at the Root Ninja.
Within the rings, each Konoha Ninja desperately tried to defend, but with paper shuriken attacking from all sides, there was no room to dodge or defend.
Each paper shuriken, after attacking, rejoined the ring, creating an endless cycle.
One by one, the paper shuriken pierced the enemy's body, spreading blood, quickly turning the entire ring of paper into a sea of red!
Soon after, the ninjas fell silent.
No, one person was still alive.
Yamanaka Fuu.
This captain of the Konoha Root Ninja, a trusted confidant of Shimura Danzo, looked around nervously at the floating origami.
"How should I kill you?"
Konan's gloomy voice appeared in front of Yamanaka Fuu, a paper spear in her hand, pinning him to the ground!
Yamanaka Fuu looked around at the corpses of his comrades, a flash of fear and anger across his face, and his first thought was to bite his tongue.
Crack!
Konan kicked him with such force that Yamanaka Fuu's jaw shattered!
"Teacher... intelligence..."
From afar, Uehara Naraku noticed the scene and stopped the furious Konan.
Right now, Uehara had Haku helping him with a symbolic bandage. If Haku moved any slower, he might fully recover.
After all, Madman's Armor regenerates life energy rapidly.
Upon hearing Uehara's words, Konan stopped her actions, her rationality gradually returning.
"I understand."
Konan let out a long breath, her anger, worry, and fear gradually dissipating. Her hands quickly formed hand seals: "Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu... Human Path!"
