Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 162 Kurenai Yuhi's Highlight Moment

"Hmm hmm hmm ah ah ah ah!"

boom!

The shop window shattered.

After letting out a scream, several wandering ninjas smashed the shop window with their bodies and ran outside.

"Teacher Hong is amazing! With just a simple illusion, she chased all those guys away!"

Yakumo naturally sided with Kurenai Yuhi.

"Hmph! They're just a bunch of rogue ninjas, yet they dare to set their sights on us Konoha ninjas."

Kurenai Yuhi gave a soft hum, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Finally, she, as the teacher, had a chance to shine. She hadn't really made a move along the way, and Bai Yun Qingye had taken all the limelight.

Go on like this.

The Red Class of the Sunset is about to become the Blue Leaf Class.

Besides, Yakumo is a very sensible child.

"It's not good to keep getting harassed like this. Let's gather some intelligence, buy some supplies, and then leave."

Shirokumo Aoba offered her opinion.

The Land of Whirlpools is currently in a state of chaos.

Even though the city where Baiyun Qingye and his companions stopped to rest was the largest city in the region, it was still extremely chaotic.

A conflict breaks out on the streets from time to time.

The Konoha headbands on their foreheads saved them a lot of trouble.

Most of the wandering ninjas here don't dare to lay a hand on the ninjas from the major ninja villages.

But there will still be quite a few clueless people who come knocking on our door.

Then came the scene at the beginning.

However, Baiyun Qingye also vaguely sensed something.

These guys who keep causing them trouble are most likely sent by certain local forces to test them.

Otherwise, it would be normal to happen once or twice.

If they keep sending people even after knowing they're not to be trifled with, something's definitely up.

Kurenai Yuhi nodded; she had also noticed this situation.

"Let's all move together from now on, and don't get separated."

After saying that, they left the restaurant together.

……

"That woman must be their team leader, a Jonin. Judging from her appearance, she should be a ninja who is proficient in genjutsu."

A white-haired, black-skinned man, who was secretly observing, spoke to a blond-haired, black-skinned man.

They had been secretly watching Baiyun Qingye and his group for a short time after they entered the city.

I've been keeping an eye on this for a while now.

Those people who harassed the other party before were all sent by them.

The purpose was to test the opponent's strength.

"However, that red-haired one hasn't made a move yet, so we still don't know how strong she is."

As for the three children, Baiyun and Qingye, they were naturally ignored by them.

If these three kids were really capable, then why would the Jonin in charge need to personally intervene in something as simple as driving away the wandering ninja?

"Hmm~"

The golden retriever and black man simply nodded, without much change in expression.

"So what should we do now, boss? They've been operating together the whole time, it's hard for us to find an opportunity to strike when they're alone!"

White-haired, black-skinned man continued to ask.

"Then there's no need to search anymore. Keep an eye on them, and when they reach a less crowded area, we'll take them down directly."

The reason for not taking action in crowded places was not because of fear of causing damage, but because there were too many people, and if things got chaotic, people would easily escape.

"Understood, I'll go gather the men now and follow behind!"

White-haired and black-skinned responded and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," the blond-haired, dark-skinned man called out to the other party.

Have you received any news from Lord Raikage?

White-haired and black-skinned, he nodded. "We've received it. Lord Raikage said we must bring the Uzumaki clan and the Byakugan back at all costs. He has already dispatched an Anbu squad to meet us on the way."

"Won't Lord Raikage come over in person?"

"If Lord Raikage were to intervene, the nature of the situation might be different. Right now, the village has no plans to go to war with Konoha."

"Alright, then you go and gather your men first. We're strong enough to deal with these few Konoha ninjas."

"Ok!"

White-haired and black-skinned responded and left.

At this moment, a blond-haired white man standing at the back spoke up, looking slightly hesitant.

"Boss, won't it provoke a conflict between the two villages if we rashly attack the ninjas of Konoha? What if it leads to a war between the two villages?"

"Heh, Atsui, you overestimate Konoha."

The blond-haired, black-skinned man scoffed, "Konoha is nothing but a cowardly village. If we weren't worried about Iwagakure stabbing us in the back, we would have attacked long ago."

"This……"

"Alright, get ready. Once this operation is successful, we can go back to the village. Don't you miss your sister too?"

-

After purchasing some supplies and gathering intelligence, Baiyun Qingye and his group of five left the city.

Following Kaho Uzumaki's directions, they headed towards a forest.

They felt quite uncomfortable being constantly watched.

at last.

They waited until they were completely away from the city.

After that, only a desolate forest remained in the surrounding area.

Shirokumo Aoba and Uzumaki Kaho suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"Sister Hong!"

At the same time, Shirokumo Aoba called out to Yuhi Kurenai.

"Aoba, did you sense anything?"

Kurenai Yuhi also made a move to make everyone stop.

She could sense that someone was following them, but she wasn't good at perceiving things and wasn't sure of the specifics.

Bai Yun Qingye nodded. "It seems they're preparing to make their move!"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai and the others immediately began to look around warily.

"Is this all the ninja in Konoha are capable of?"

Just as Kurenai was cautiously looking around, a cold and disdainful voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Along with this sound came a short blade that echoed like a bird's song.

It came suddenly.

The short sword, wrapped in lightning chakra, swiftly pierced Kurenai Yuhi's lower back in the quiet forest.

"You are……"

Kurenai had no time to react before the short sword pierced through her body.

Fresh blood spurted out.

"They don't even know the enemy is approaching. Konoha's Jonin are getting worse with each generation."

The white-haired, black-skinned Cloud Ninja who had just ambushed Kurenai was filled with arrogance and disdain.

Sizzle~

After pulling the short sword from Kurenai's waist, he re-attached his ninja sword with lightning chakra.

"It seems that from now on, our Kumogakure will be the strongest ninja village in the ninja world."

"You're a ninja from Kumogakure!? Why would a ninja from Kumogakure be here!?"

Kurenai clutched her wound, her expression turning one of utter terror.

"Can't you even see that? It seems the level of Konoha ninjas is really poor. Not only are they weak, but their intelligence work is also inadequate."

Continuing to mock Kurenai before him, the Cloud Ninja, gripping his short sword, made no attempt to conceal his purpose and directly stated his intentions.

"Our only targets are the Hyuga and Uzumaki clans. You can all die now."

The white-haired Cloud Ninja's expression was indifferent as he pierced Kurenai Yuhi's heart with his short sword.

Kurenai Yuhi collapsed to the ground.

"That's all... huh?"

It seemed the sneak attack had gone too smoothly, and the white-haired cloud ninja finally discovered the problem.

It's one thing that this female Jonin of Konoha was ambushed by him, but why didn't anyone else make a sound?

When he looked over, there was no one around.

The fallen Kurenai before my eyes has also disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a large tree grew out from behind him, and his limbs were all bound by vines. Kurenai Yuhi had already emerged from the tree.

He held a kunai in his hand.

"This is an illusion!?"

"when……"

Before he could finish speaking, Kurenai's kunai pierced his neck.

Magical Tree Binding Kill!

Let's return to reality.

The white-haired cloud ninja who had just launched a sneak attack was already lying on the ground in front of Baiyun Qingye and the other four.

He did not die, but lost consciousness.

Apart from Yakumo Kurama's special bloodline limit, all other genjutsu affect the mind.

"It seems you discovered us a long time ago!"

The golden-haired Cloud Ninja, with an icy expression, led ten Cloud Ninja out of the forest.

There was still a trace of blood at the corner of their mouths, caused by using pain to dispel the illusion earlier.

Unlike the white-haired Cloud Ninja who launched a sneak attack, they did not directly suffer from Kurenai Yuhi's genjutsu.

They were simply misled.

The five members of Kurenai Yuhi were positioned slightly ahead of where they could see.

What they saw was just an illusion.

Kurenai Yuhi's expression was equally unpleasant; she hadn't expected to encounter so many Cloud Ninjas in the Land of Whirlpools.

"You are ninjas from Kumogakure, yet you suddenly attacked us. Do you intend to provoke a war between Kumogakure and Konoha?"

"Ha! Do you really think those cowards from Konoha would go to war with Kumogakure for your sake?"

The golden-haired Cloud Ninja looked contemptuous; he vividly remembered how weak Konoha had been back then.

"But I am the Hokage's disciple. If you make a move, a war might really break out." Baiyun Qingye revealed his identity.

"what?!"

The blond-haired cloud ninja's eyes widened, but not out of fear.

A grin spread across his face—

"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."

"If we capture you alive, we Kumogakure will be able to make a fortune when we negotiate with Konoha."

He didn't take the other party seriously at all.

He had three Jonin on his side, including himself, although the white-haired guy had been instantly killed by Kurenai Yuhi because he had fallen into a trap.

However, he still didn't take Kurenai Yuhi seriously; the drawbacks of genjutsu-type ninjas were too obvious.

Moreover, the rest of them were all Chunin.

Even if the other side has Hokage disciples, they don't look very old. Three of them look like they just graduated. On the other hand, they have more people, so they can just send a few more to keep the other side occupied.

Overall, the current match is eleven against five, giving them the advantage!

"..."

"Then aren't you afraid we'll kill him?"

Baiyun Qingye pointed to the white-haired Yunren on the ground.

All the Cloud Ninja present turned grim.

"Lord Raikage said that we must complete the mission at all costs."

"However, I don't recommend you do that. If you dare to kill our comrades, I will make you all wish you were dead!"

"That's really quite unfair..."

Baiyun Qingye raised her eyebrows.

"Hmph! What fairness? The strong are meant to humiliate the weak!" The Yunren's attitude was extremely arrogant.

Bai Yunqingye shook his head. Now that things had been made clear, he had no intention of wasting any more words with the other party.

The Moon Slayer was silently drawn.
