Kurosuki Raiga's consciousness was not controlled, and his body was still awake.
He could still see the corpse of Kuriarare Kushimaru, who had just been killed, lying not far away.
He could also see his other comrades chasing Uchiha Ryosuke and beginning to surround him.
But strangely, his body simply couldn't move.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
At that moment, he realized that he had indeed fallen into a genjutsu, and a very dangerous Binding Genjutsu at that.
"Binding Genjutsu..."
Kurosuki Raiga was covered in cold sweat.
Facing a powerful opponent, the consequences of being unable to move his body were self-evident.
Kuriarare Kushimaru's fate was right before him; he didn't want to be next.
After all, he was an elite Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village.
Seeing himself on the verge of death, at the critical moment, Kurosuki Raiga used the lightning emanating from his Lightning Blade to stimulate his body, thereby disrupting the flow of Chakra within him.
Finally, he was saved.
His body, controlled by the Binding Genjutsu, regained movement.
Immediately, Kurosuki Raiga leaped backward, not daring to counterattack the Uchiha Ryosuke who was chasing him.
"This guy has a Sharingan, whatever you do, don't look him in the eyes!"
Kurosuki Raiga shouted to his companions, then turned and fled.
But just as his figure was about to disappear into the forest, two kunai, launched later but arriving sooner, caught up and hit his body squarely.
Kurosuki Raiga let out a muffled groan, his body swayed a few times, almost falling from the tree.
But in the end, he stabilized himself and continued to flee.
Uchiha Ryosuke could have pursued him.
But at this moment, the other five Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had already surrounded him from different directions, launching a concerted attack.
This forced Uchiha Ryosuke to be unable to focus on pursuing the injured Kurosuki Raiga.
"Let's go after that guy!"
Might Guy exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this scene.
Shiranui Genma also seemed eager to join, invigorated by the strength Uchiha Ryosuke had displayed.
"No, that's too dangerous."
Might Dai timely stopped these two young men who didn't know their place.
"If the enemy has an ambush ahead, we might be in danger..."
After speaking, Might Dai's gaze returned to Uchiha Ryosuke.
His eyes held a new respect for this young Uchiha.
"As expected of Konoha's top prestigious clan, his Body Flicker Technique must have reached perfection..."
Ebisu stared at Uchiha Ryosuke's figure, exclaiming in admiration.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke was using his Advanced Body Flicker Technique.
He was toying with the remaining five Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Suikazan Fuguki, Munashi Jinpachi, Biwa Jūzō, Hozuki Senjin, and Ameyuri Ringo, five elite Jonin from Hidden Mist Village.
They were trying their best to attack Uchiha Ryosuke.
But their attacks always missed their target by just a hair's breadth.
Each time, Uchiha Ryosuke easily dodged them in the nick of time.
This made the five of them extremely frustrated.
What was even more frustrating was that they couldn't relax at all.
They could only maintain such a high-intensity pursuit.
As soon as they dared to show the slightest sign of slackening.
They would immediately face disaster, with Uchiha Ryosuke taking advantage of the opening.
The two sides had only been fighting for a short while, but several of them had already walked through the gates of hell multiple times.
If it weren't a five-on-one battle.
They knew very well that any one of them facing this Uchiha man alone would definitely meet a grim end.
"Damn it, who exactly is this kid?
Why does he also possess that famous Ninjutsu of Shisui of the Body Flicker?"
Suikazan Fuguki said through gritted teeth, glancing in the direction Kurosuki Raiga had fled.
At this moment, he, too, felt like retreating.
Five people fighting one Uchiha clansman were already in such a difficult struggle.
If anything went wrong, he might also be in great danger.
Biwa Jūzō also had the same thought of retreating.
Don't let his reckless demeanor fool you; he might seem like he'd start a fight at the drop of a hat, but in reality, he's not truly a hothead.
Retreating when encountering an opponent he couldn't defeat was the wisest choice.
On the other hand, Ameyuri Ringo, who was using Kabutowari at this moment.
Hozuki Senjin, who was using the Twin Swords: Hiramekarei, and Munashi Jinpachi, who was using Bakutō Bibara.
These three, facing the troublesome Uchiha Ryosuke, not only did not choose to retreat but fought even more fiercely.
"This kid's Body Flicker Technique also consumes Chakra.
No matter how fast he is, there will be a time when he slows down! Let's just wear him down!"
"Just don't get hit by my blade, old man! Otherwise, you'll be blown to bits in an instant!!"
Munashi Jinpachi said with a sinister grin, rapidly swinging his Bakutō Bibara.
One side of this weapon was a normal blade shape.
This was also the side he was currently using to attack Uchiha Ryosuke.
On the other side, however, it was covered with countless exploding tags.
They could be released at any time to attack opponents, causing severe explosive damage.
Especially when the number of enemies was greater.
The power of this move could be maximized in terms of cost-effectiveness.
It was no problem to blow up dozens of people at once.
Hearing Munashi Jinpachi say this, Ameyuri Ringo immediately became excited.
He charged from the rear flank to Uchiha Ryosuke's side.
The Kabutowari in his hand, like a hammer, smashed down hard on Uchiha Ryosuke.
But in reality, his killing move was not the hammer, but the normal scythe-shaped blade hidden at the other end of the hammer, connected by a chain.
Besides Ameyuri Ringo and Munashi Jinpachi, these two crazy attacking enemies.
Hozuki Senjin was also trying his best to attack Uchiha Ryosuke.
Seeing the three of them recklessly intending to die with their opponent.
Suikazan Fuguki, however, seized an opportunity and leaped backward, retreating rapidly.
"The enemy is too strong; fighting this Uchiha is disadvantageous for us, let's retreat first!"
After dropping such a grand statement.
Suikazan Fuguki turned in mid-air and fled into the distance, instantly reaching dozens of meters away.
Seeing that Suikazan Fuguki also chose to retreat.
Biwa Jūzō immediately followed, fleeing in another direction.
He also left behind a seemingly valid reason:
"Our goal is not to fight to the death with Konoha's strong, but to inflict casualties on their forces. Let's go!"
After speaking, Biwa Jūzō was already seventy to eighty meters away.
He leaped again, and his figure disappeared into the forest.
"They actually fled... decisively abandoning their comrades! The Hidden Mist guys are truly cold-blooded and ruthless."
Ebisu couldn't help but frown slightly at this scene.
