The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist swept their gaze and found that there were indeed only three Konoha Ninja surrounded.
Immediately, their eyes all became wary.
"The Uchiha who injured me with a kunai is not here."
Ameyuri Ringo reminded in a deep voice.
"Never mind him for now, he probably got scared and ran away, hehe! Killing these guys first is the same!"
Suikazan Fuguki, wielding the great sword samehada (shark skin - sword name).
He sneered and swung the great sword samehada as he jumped down from the tree, sweeping it horizontally at Sarutobi Shio's waist.
And two of the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Also simultaneously launched attacks on Hyuga Koji and Uzuki Sen.
The remaining four did not attack, but merely adopted a defensive stance, ready to respond to any other enemies that might appear.
It was clear that these seven were highly professional and experienced in combat.
Sarutobi Shio's face changed slightly when faced with Suikazan Fuguki's sudden attack.
But he remained calm in the face of danger, and instead let out a low shout:
"That Uchiha you mentioned, yes, he has already fled in panic, he's just a coward!"
"The one who will kill you here today will be your master, Sarutobi Shio!!"
As he spoke, two strangely shaped weapons had already appeared in his hands.
And he desperately blocked Suikazan Fuguki's great sword samehada with both hands.
A tremendous force swept over.
With just one encounter, Sarutobi Shio was directly sent flying.
With a muffled "bang."
Sarutobi Shio's body slammed into the trunk of a large tree more than ten meters away, and blood immediately gushed from the corner of his mouth.
But before he could even catch his breath, Suikazan Fuguki pursued him with a sneer.
"You wouldn't actually think that with your meager abilities, you could turn the tables on us, would you?"
"In your next life, open your eyes wide!"
Suikazan Fuguki swept his sword horizontally.
With a loud "boom," he cut Sarutobi Shio and the large tree, which would take at least three people to embrace, in half.
However, it was at this moment, with a "thump."
The Sarutobi Shio, split into two, turned into a log.
Seeing his opponent use the Body Flicker Technique right in front of him, Suikazan Fuguki sneered, "The kid has some skill, but this is the end for him!"
As he spoke, he suddenly kicked out with his foot towards his right-rear.
Sarutobi Shio, who had just appeared and was preparing to ambush, seemed to have run into the kick himself.
He was instantly sent flying back over twenty meters, crashing into another large tree, and spitting out another mouthful of blood.
"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Revolving Heaven!!"
In another direction, Hyuga Koji was battling Kuriarare Kushimaru, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
This guy's weapon was the long sword: needle, which looked like a needle over a meter long.
His attack speed was incredibly fast, and his angles were extremely tricky.
Despite being injured, his combat power was still enough to suppress Hyuga Koji.
Forcing Hyuga Koji to use the Hyuga Clan's "Absolute Defense."
"How long can you maintain that move?"
Kuriarare Kushimaru was cold and ruthless.
He continuously attacked Hyuga Koji, who was in the Revolving Heaven state, from all directions.
Attempting to break through his opponent's defense.
Seeing his two companions being attacked by powerful enemies with no ability to retaliate,
Uzuki Sen, the Medical Ninja of the team, was at a loss, unsure what to do.
Just as she was distracted, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed behind her: "What are you looking at?"
Uzuki Sen heard the voice behind her, her body trembled, and her face turned pale.
She suddenly turned around and saw a giant hammer smashing towards her head.
This weapon was Kabutowari, Ameyuri Ringo's weapon.
It seemed as if the beautiful Uzuki Sen was about to be flattened by Ameyuri Ringo's hammer.
But at that moment, two kunai suddenly flew out from nowhere.
They flew directly towards Ameyuri Ringo's chest, at the heart, and his throat.
"He's here!!"
Ameyuri Ringo's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly retracted his weapon to block.
This time he was attacked head-on.
He was able to see the incoming kunai immediately, allowing him to counter and save his own life.
But because of this, he missed the opportunity to kill Uzuki Sen and was scared half to death himself.
The other four Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who hadn't made a move also saw the scene clearly.
Hearing Ameyuri Ringo say that the hidden Uchiha Clan member had arrived, they all entered combat mode.
But they scanned the entire battlefield and saw no enemy appear.
Everything happened in a flash, and just as they were feeling puzzled.
Suddenly, a wave of heat attacked from behind.
Firelight illuminated the entire dark forest.
The four Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist turned around in horror to look behind them.
They saw a giant fireball, with a diameter of over ten meters, flying towards them head-on.
Its speed and power were so immense that they had no choice but to temporarily avoid it.
The four of them simultaneously leaped in different directions, attempting to evade the attack of the incoming giant fireball.
However, their retreat routes seemed to have been calculated by this unseen enemy.
The moment they leaped up, four giant Water Release spheres appeared behind them.
A "thump" sound echoed simultaneously.
The four Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were actually imprisoned directly by Water Prison Technique that appeared out of nowhere.
"Is this kid that Uchiha?"
Suikazan Fuguki had already basically decided the outcome of his fight.
Dealing with a mere Konoha Chunin, it was already relatively slow for him with his abilities.
At this moment, he heard the commotion, turned his head, and just happened to see his teammates being attacked.
His greatsword, samehada (shark skin - sword name), which was embedded in Sarutobi Shio's left shoulder.
He slashed downwards fiercely, causing Sarutobi Shio, who was already on the verge of death pinned to the tree, to spit out another large mouthful of blood on the spot.
And Suikazan Fuguki sneered, looking up at his four teammates imprisoned in the air by the Water Prison Technique.
Immediately after, he glanced at Kuriarare Kushimaru, who had also stopped fighting and was standing not far away.
"Over there!"
Kuriarare Kushimaru leaped up and charged into the completely dark forest ahead.
However, the moment he soared into the air, three kunai suddenly shot out from the darkness.
Extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless.
If Kuriarare Kushimaru didn't retreat, he would definitely be hit by at least one of them.
Left with no choice, Kuriarare Kushimaru could only swing the long sword: needle in his hand to block.
He himself was forcibly shaken back to the ground by the force of the rebound.
"Is this that Uchiha?"
Suikazan Fuguki's expression became serious.
At this moment, Ameyuri Ringo, who had just been scared away by the flying kunai, reappeared beside him, still shaken.
He stared into the darkness ahead and said in a deep voice,
"It seems it will take some effort to deal with him."
