Chapter 22: Sarutobi vs Uchiha clan Fire Style
Just as Hyuga Nàiluò rushed out, the figures hidden in the shadows moved in the other direction.
'Swish!'
More than a dozen Shinobi surrounded Shisui and Itachi!
A line figure headed out.
He didn't bother wearing anything as concealment, and arrogantly exposed his face as if the fight was already predetermined.
"Unexpectedly, today a high ranked Jōnin and the son of the patriarch will die here, your father Fugaku would not mourn your death, right?"
The leading ninja laughed and said, without worrying that the two would escape.
"Are you a Shinobi from the Sarutobi clan?"
Shisui looked at the face of the person in front of him, thinking to himself that he had seen it before.
Pondering on it for a while, only a slight memory fragment came to the front of his mind.
The lead ninja was caught of guard and startled, but was not afraid of being recognized, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect the famous Shisui of the Body would know of me, but it's useless. Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I would not let you two go."
"Don't blame me, blame yourselves for conspiring with that idiot from the Hyūga branch house."
Shisui frowned.
His heart gradually turned cold.
They are now by the Naka River which is next to a forest.
Except for the occasional person who comes here to practice ninjutsu, or anybody who comes here for a picnic..There are usually very few if any one here at all.
but!
This is also within the boundary of Konoha Village!
This group of Shinobi, there are so many gathered her all in one place. They are going to kill them in a grandiose manner!!
Before today, Shisui wouldn't have believed that this could happen in the village!
But now he couldn't help but believe it.
The other party didn't even bother to conceal his identity nor presence!
How unscrupulous they are!
"The ninja who attacked Nàiluò-san yesterday also used Konoha's signature ninjutsu. Are they so confident that they are unwilling to hide it?!"
Shisui asked sharply, his eyes brimming with anger.
"And, yesterday Nàiluò-san didn't even say that it was a member of root who had attacked him, but now you still have the gall to do this again!"
Among the dozen Shinobi surrounding them, there were two ninjas wearing masks.
One had blue lines,
And,
The other one had purple lines.
The patterns of the mask are depicted into complex shapes.
It's not the usual animal masks that the Anbu use, but one belonging to root Shinobi!
The ninja of the Sarutobi clan sneered, and said disdainfully: "Hidden? you still think you will be able to leave here alive today, do you?"
"As long as we kill you, what the battlefield looks like afterwards, doesn't it all depend on how we arrange it?"
"It's useless to tell you this, a dead person need not know this….now!!!!"
Before he finished speaking, the Sarutobi ninja in the lead saw Shisui disappear into thin air, and reappeared in front of him not even a second later.
CLANG!
(A.N- sound of metal clashing)
A fierce metal collision suddenly resounded throughout the surrounding area.
The ninja with the blue mask next to him took out a Short Sword in preparation, and barely managed to receive Shisui's angry blow.
'What a great power! '
The hand of the blue masked ninja holding his blade trembled slightly and said. Just as Shisui was about to cut his throat, the purple masked ninja next to him abruptly dashed towards Shisui.
Shisui frowned slightly, and stepped back.
"You are not Shisui's opponent, don't get in the way."
The purple pattern masked ninja said to the Sarutobi ninja without any even a tinge of emotion contained in his voice.
"you!"
The Sarutobi ninja who was in the lead was furious at being looked down upon.
This team should be led by him!
But the Sarutobi ninja also understood that the root ninja with this purple-patterned mask was right.
He reluctantly stepped aside and then faced Uchiha Itachi.
Looking at Uchiha Itachi who puts Kuma in front of him, the Sarutobi Shinobi shouted savagely:
"Little devil, hurry up, beg me to spare you, and I promise to give you a good time."
(a.n - the original really sounded like those cliche cultivation novel young masters)
At that very moment a slight breeze blew through the surrounding area adding to the mounting tension.
Uchiha Itachi didn't say a word, and slowly turned on Sharingan.
The pitch-black Gouyu swirled in his scarlet eyes.
"…Has your Sharingan already been turned on?" Sarutobi ninja grinned viciously, "It looks like a genius is about to die by my hands."
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a while, then suddenly said:
"Are you jealous?"
"What?" The Sarutobi ninja was startled.
"You are jealous of us Uchiha, jealous of our strength, jealous of our blood, and…"
"Shut up, you damned kid!"
The Sarutobi ninja yelled in anger.
He just felt like he was stripped bare and left on the side of a street to rot.
This was said so by a 9-year-old child who was about the age of a ninja academy student!
"Our Sarutobi clan has never been worse than your Uchiha! The Sarutobi clan's Fire Style is the strongest in Konoha! Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The Sarutobi's ninja's murderous intention within his heart skyrocketed, and he quickly said.
'You are jealous of my talent. '
Uchiha Itachi silently said those words in his heart, and at the same time, he quickly went through the hand seals at a much faster speed, and the latter came first. A giant Great Fireball with a diameter of about three to four meters quickly took shape and flew towards the Sarutobi ninja.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Impossible..."
The Shinobi from the Sarutobi clan looked at the fireball he barely formed in front of him, and before he showed his surprise, he was directly swallowed by the incoming flames.
…
Inside the Hokage building.
The Third Hokage and his council were watching the ongoing battle using the Crystal Ball Jutsu.
To be precise, they were paying attention to the ongoing battles of Shisui and Itachi.
As for Hyuga Nàiluò, who rushed towards the dozens of Shinobi led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, they had already regarded Nàiluò as a dead man.
"It's a pity we are going to be losing these two young seedlings."
The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi on the crystal ball, shook his head and said.
It didn't even cross his mind about these three being able to escape today, let alone survive!
"Who told them to get so close to the scourge that is Hyuga Nàiluò? They would become a scourge to the village sooner or later, so it's
better to get rid of them all at once now and be done with it."
Utatane Koharu sneered.
Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement.
The siege of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, except for a ninja from the Sarutobi clan, a ninja from the Shimura clan, and two root ninjas, the rest were members of his and Utatane Koharu clan.
Two people being besieged by more than a dozen Shinobi? How could it be possible to let them escape?
However, in the next second, they saw that the ninja from the Sarutobi clan face turned pale in fright by Uchiha Shisui's in an instant, and he backed away in a hurry.
"It seems to me Hiruzen that the youngsters in your clan still have much more to learn."
Danzo was proud to see his subordinates being able to block Shisui.
"…" The Third Hokage opened his mouth, a little embarrassed, "He was just a little careless, after all, the other party is Shisui of the body flicker."
As soon as the voice fell, the Third Hokage saw that the ninja from the Sarutobi clan engaged Uchiha Itachi, and shot angrily.
"The other party is just a child, so surely this shouldn't pose a problem."
The Third Hokage said confidently.
Although Uchiha Itachi is an extremely talented genius, the difference in strength brought about by age and experience cannot be made up by talent alone.
However, the Third Hokage was quickly given a slap to the face once more. The expression on the face of the Sarutobi ninja shown by the crystal ball was shocking and indescribable, and was in the next moment consumed by fire.
shatter!
The cup in the Third Hokage's hand was broken and fell to the ground. *
