Chapter 83: Saving the Damsel in Distress

At the last moment, the attacking Jounin froze in place, his kunai stopping not far from Kurenai's neck.

It was Genjutsu, hastily applied by Shinku.

But he had to pay the price for using Genjutsu hastily, though Shinku dodged at the last moment, but the Jounin's attack still grazed his shoulder.

"Run!!!"

Shinku shouted to Kurenai and the others, ignoring the pain of his wound.

After experiencing a life and death crisis, Kurenai quickly came to her senses and turned pale when she realized that her momentary loss of concentration had caused her father to be injured!

No.

It wasn't exactly like that.

The Sunagakure Jounin originally used an earth clone to escape the influence of her father's Genjutsu, and then suddenly attacked her, at which point she had a sudden loss of concentration, which coincidentally coincided with this attack.

Normally, she would have had difficulty dodging this attack with a minor injury, but now her father was injured instead, making the situation extremely bad.

"They have similar eyes, are they really father and daughter?"

"You won't be able to escape so easily now."

The Jounin of Sunagakure, who had injured Shinku, laughed coldly.

If Shinku had not been injured, it would have been difficult for the Jounins of Sunagakure to kill him, even if they worked together, but now he had received a rather serious wound on his shoulder, which would definitely affect the speed of the folding seals, giving them a chance to kill this powerful Jounin of Konoha!

There was no point in killing some Genins.

But if they could kill a Konoha Jounin, even if the reconnaissance mission was a failure, they would still get enough credit.

"Run!!!"

Shinku covered the wound on his shoulder and glared coldly at the Sunagakure Jounins as he shouted at Kurenai and the others.

Seeing this, Kurenai gritted his teeth, despite his concern for his father, he knew very well that he would only stand in his father's way, so he immediately kept running along with his companions.

But the Sunagakure ninja was not willing to let them go so easily.

Although his goal was to kill Shinku, attacking these Genins could obviously make him show even more flaws.

Whoosh!!!

One of the Jounin ran towards Kurenai again.

He had already realized this, even if Kurenai and Shinku weren't father and daughter, at least there was a blood relationship between them, so attacking her was the most effective tactic!

"A ninja should be ready to die at any time, girl!"

The Jounin of Sunagakure shouted in a stern voice, not missing the opportunity to exert psychological pressure on his target, he was well aware that it is often very easy to shake the spirit of an immature Genin.

And indeed.

Hearing this angry shout, Kurenai shuddered, fear shone in her eyes, she was now only an inexperienced ten-year-old Genin.

Realizing this, her teammates rushed to Kurenai's aid, throwing kunai and shurikens in the direction of Jounin Sunagakure, but to their surprise, the other party didn't even try to dodge.

Poof!

When the shurikens and kunai hit the target, the figure of Jounin Sunagakure shattered into pieces of earth.

"...A clone?!"

Kurenai exclaimed and turned her head sharply when she saw the Jounin of Sunagakure appear behind her.

Shinku had seen this situation, but now he was injured and could not provide support under the pressure of another Jounin.

At this moment.

The surrounding world seemed to have become incomparably slow.

Kurenai could see Jounin attacking her with the kunai, but she had no way to dodge it, faced with a life and death crisis, her mind was processing the situation beyond its limits.

Although at this moment Kurenai's consciousness became incomparably clear and fast, but her physical body could not keep up with her mind, and she could only watch helplessly as the kunai slowly approached.

Am I going to die...

Such a thought crossed Kurenai's mind.

"Kurenai!!!"

Shinku exclaimed loudly, feeling helpless.

The others also gritted their teeth, helplessly watching this scene from the side, but the next moment, their expressions froze, revealing a hint of dismay.

For a flash of silver light, invisible to the naked eye, came from the distance in an instant, sweeping across the battlefield, and with it disappeared Kurenai's figure silently.

"!!!"

The Sunagakure Jounin's pupils contracted violently.

He looked around and noticed a young man bathed in silver light, standing on the branch of a nearby tree, holding a dazed Kurenai.

Kurenai stood in stunned silence, staring at the short, silver-haired figure, vaguely recognizable as Yeruashi, and for a moment she didn't react.

"Am I dead already?"

"Almost."

Yeruashi smiled softly and said, "But I won't let you die."

As he passed nearby, he sensed that a battle was going on here and decided to take a look, but he didn't expect to see Kurenai, who was on the verge of death.

Of course, Kurenai shouldn't have faced a life and death crisis here under normal circumstances, because if Yeruashi hadn't come to the rescue, he would have died in the next instant.

"Is this change due to my influence?"

Yeruashi muttered in her mind, and in the next moment, her figure blurred and returned to the ground in an instant, releasing the stunned Kurenai and then turning her head to look at the two Jounins of Sunagakure.

Feeling Yeruashi's gaze on them, the Jounin of Sunagakure felt a great crisis, as if they were going to die in the next moment!

"Run!"

One of them made the decision to run away without hesitation.

The speed at which Yeruashi saved Kurenai was extremely difficult to see. Besides, Yeruashi's chakra fluctuations are simply terrifying, he was definitely not an opponent they can deal with!

"Run?"

Yeruashi said indifferently, his left hand was already performing hand seals, and his extended his right hand, chakra gushing out, and then transforming into lightning that enveloped his right hand, with the sound of a thousand birds chirping echoing through the forest, and in the next moment, his figure disappeared.

All that could be seen was a silver flash that passed by the two Jounins of Sunagakure.

The Jounin's bodies froze in place, a smooth through hole appeared in the chest near the heart, and a gush of blood gushed out.

Shock and disbelief could be seen in the eyes of both Jounins, and they turned their heads with difficulty, trying to see the figure bathed in silver light, but their vision quickly dimmed, and soon their consciousnesses were plunged into darkness.

Thud! Thud!

Two lifeless bodies fell to the ground.

Yeruashi appeared nearby and slowly turned his head, the silver light and the Chidori in his hand gradually faded.

There was a moment of silence.

What was that!

Kurenai, Inuzuka Kiva and the rest of the audience looked at Yeruashi, not understanding what had just happened.
