Seeing this, Kusuo raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had seen the Mysterious Peacock Method used in combat against other ninja. He was surprised that she could unleash such a powerful jutsu.
"There are two last opponents nearby. If you can kill them, you'll have passed."
Natsuhi was taken aback but quickly grabbed her weapon. At her full strength, she could only detect the ninja from before. Based on what Kusuo said, the two hiding nearby must be assassination-type ninja who specialized in such missions.
"You could have dealt with those Jonin with ease, but try these two now," he said. This time, he showed no intention of helping.
Just as Natsuhi was about to form a hand seal, she realized that the chakra in her body had indeed diminished. And it was no longer the same as before. The chakra in her body had now become a one-time resource! She frowned slightly. "Lord Kusuo, I don't have as much chakra as before."
Hearing this, Kusuo seemed remarkably calm. "I know."
Just as she was about to speak, a projectile flew towards her from the front. "Mysterious Peacock Method: Defend!" In an instant, a shield formed of chakra appeared in front of her.
"It seems you're still not used to being without this jutsu," Kusuo commented.
His words made her immediately realize what he meant. Every bit of chakra she used now would be one less bit in her body. "If you can use your other skills to attack, it will bring a significant boost to your future strength."
Natsuhi glanced at him and saw that he was standing there with no intention of helping. "Don't worry, Lord Kusuo. I will definitely complete this mission properly."
With that, she rushed forward with her shuriken. Clang, clang... The sound of weapons clashing rang out. A short while later, she retreated from the battlefield, but this time, she had several new wounds.
"Looks like those two are quite skilled. For even you to be injured." Kusuo watched her with interest, his hand not even on his sword. He knew that she should be able to handle these two. Even if she couldn't, he would definitely step in at the critical moment.
Fighting the two of them alone, the chakra in her body was gradually being depleted. If not for her good training, she would have collapsed by now. "I believe you can continue to fight with your own strength," he encouraged.
Hearing his words, she once again tightened her grip on her shuriken. From her other hand, she took out an exploding tag. Kusuo was a bit surprised. He knew the people of the Star Village were adept at using them, but he didn't know how she intended to use it now.
Just when he thought she would throw it, she pressed the exploding tag firmly into her palm and charged forward. "You..."
Just as he was about to speak, a loud explosion came from not far away. "Natsuhi!" His figure vanished.
After the smoke from the explosion cleared, Natsuhi was standing in the middle. In front of her was one of the Mizukage's subordinates. The other was not far from her, seemingly on the verge of death.
"How did you kill him?" Kusuo asked.
"Just as they were about to restrain me at close range, I threw this exploding tag."
In fact, Kusuo had seen it from a distance. She held a shuriken with an exploding tag in one hand and another shuriken in the other. When she was surrounded by the two, she threw the tagged shuriken at them, then used the second shuriken to hit its tail end. The secondary acceleration caused it to speed up, and then she detonated it.
Her fluid shurikenjutsu surprised even Kusuo. While his main weapon was a sword, his own shuriken skills were not as flexible. "I never thought you could use a small shuriken with such mastery."
"My lord, you praise me too much," Natsuhi immediately took two steps back and bowed to him. Because they had created distance, Kusuo now had a chance to use his Transparent World to observe her internal condition.
