Chapter 184: Attack of the Kirigakure Ninjas

The changes brought about by his initial mastery of the Ryuichi Cave Sage Art were quite satisfactory for Yeruashi.

The only drawback is a strange appearance that doesn't match his image, after all, Yeruashi doesn't look like Orochimaru, always radiating a slightly creepy and cold atmosphere.

But the multiple improvements in sensory perception were much more important. His body shouldn't undergo such changes after mastering the other two Sage Modes and combining them in a balanced manner.

It was almost time to leave.

He was not going to continue staying here, because the basic level of skill is enough and there is no need for deep practice.

As Yeruashi exited the Sage Mode, dissipating the natural energy in his body, the figure of Ichikishimahime suddenly floated up from outside the cave.

"It's you!"

Yeruashi looked at the other party, smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with you, do you want to eat my chakra? I'm in a good mood now, I can give you something."

Saying this, Yeruashi opened his hand and a ball of chakra gathered in his palm.

But this action made Ichikishimahime tremble.

"Stop!!!"

She immediately took a step back and said, "I came here to tell you something, Sage White Snake sensed that your partner was in trouble outside Ryuichi Cave, heading north."

Having said that, Ichikishimahime immediately left the cave.

Yeruashi dispersed the accumulated chakra in his palm, stroked his chin and said, "Am I that scary?"

Yeruashi shook his head and headed for the exit of Ryuichi Cave.

The main food in Ryuichi Cave is fish and a variety of seafood and neither Yeruashi nor Rin are used to that food, so Rin went out of Ryuichi Cave several times a day to hunt.

A Jounin or Elite Jounin is not capable of causing trouble for the current Rin to get into trouble, the opponent must be at least Kage level.

"Are they Kirigakure ninja?"

Yeruashi was already guessing what happened to Rin.

Konoha shouldn't be so bold as to send someone against Rin, and with Rin being the Jinchuriki of the Sanbi, Kirigakure shouldn't just accept the loss of the Bijuu. Sanbi had been under Kirigakure's control for quite some time, so it wouldn't be surprising if they had a method to track him, which should be how they tracked Rin.

...

Outside the Ryuichi Cave.

Somewhere on the bank of a small river, Rin, enveloped in Sanbi chakra, standing with a tense expression, keeping alert, not daring to move.

She had been attacked.

Rin could have already been seriously injured if Isobu had not protected her with his chakra in time.

But even after dealing with the unexpected attack with the help of Isobu's chakra, she still got into trouble, because even the specific position of the enemy was unknown.

"This assassination technique... is a Kirigakure ninja..."

"At the very least, it should be a Jounin from Kirigakure, and there should be more than one."

Cold sweat broke out on Rin's forehead.

She suddenly thought of a certain group of Kirigakure ninja.

Those were the seven people who had struck fear into the minds of the Konoha ninja on the Kirigakure battlefield, they were known as the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist!

Although two of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist were killed by Minato, they still inflicted great damage to Konoha, in the war that followed, countless Konoha ninja fell into their hands!

Rin did not dare to move.

She feared that if she moved, she would reveal her weakness and be attacked by the other side.

Although Rin is now the Jinchuriki of the Sanbi, but in front of someone like the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, she still felt extremely fearful, afraid that she would be under the enemy's control at any moment!

In such a situation, it was best to stay as alert as possible and not make any unnecessary moves, the momentum of her chakra should have already been felt in Ryuichi Cave.

Whoosh!!!

The water of the small river churned.

A huge figure rushed towards Rin.

"..."

Rin, who was in a state of utmost vigilance, abruptly waved her hand in the direction of the approaching figure, the Sanbi's chakra burst out violently, forming huge claws.

Auge!

Fuguki Suikazan swung Samehada, blocking the Sanbi chakra released by Rin. Samehada immediately opened his mouth, greedily devouring the Bijuu's chakra.

"Fuguki Suikazan!"

Rin felt a shiver run down her back when she saw her opponent.

It was indeed one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist!

As a ninja who fought on the front lines of Kirigakure in the middle of the Third Ninja World War, she certainly has some understanding of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and Fuguki Suikazan is one of the most recognizable ones.

"I didn't expect you to use the Sanbi chakra so skillfully. You seem to have become the perfect Jinchuriki, but unfortunately, all the Bijuu chakra you release will be nothing more than mere fodder for my Samehada."

Suikazan smiled horribly and waved the Samehada in Rin's direction again.

"Samehada..."

Cold sweat ran down Rin's forehead, and she jumped back abruptly, trying to avoid Samehada.

Konoha had information about the abilities of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist's swords, and Rin knew that Samehada was a sword that could absorb chakra.

As a Jinchuriki, he had focused entirely on improving his control of the Sanbi's chakra, temporarily neglecting the development of other aspects, so Samehada almost completely restricted all of Rin's abilities.

Rin began to retreat, being pushed back by Suikazan, who was armed with Samehada.

Just when she felt she could no longer resist and was about to use the last resort, a figure appeared in the distance, approaching at high speed.

Yeruashi was approaching!

Whoosh!!!

Yeruashi's figure approached in the blink of an eye and swung the Kusanagi sword sharply, blocking and deflecting the huge Samehada clutched in Suikazan's hand, the next instant, the sword left a series of afterimages in the air, slashing Suikazan's figure many times. times.

But there was no blood.

"Finally..."

Suikazan smiled strangely and his figure suddenly turned into water, sending much spray into the air.

Seeing this, Rin immediately exclaimed, "Watch out! He's not alone!!!"

Whoosh, whoosh!!!!

At the same time, almost simultaneously with Rin's shout, two figures appeared slightly behind Yeruashi, to his left and right, and launched a quick attack.

One of them is armed with a large Kubikiribocho, it was Juzo Biwa, while the other was Mangetsu Hōzuki, who wielded Hiramekarei, emitting a massive dense stream of chakra.

"Art of Decapitation!"

"Release Hiramekarei!"

The two mist swordsmen exclaimed coolly, launching their strongest attacks against Yeruashi.

Yeruashi remained calmly, his body spun, showing an extremely high and strange speed. The Kusanagi sword glowed with a silver light and drew a long arc in the air, deflecting attacks from both sides in a single motion.

This speed was far beyond what a normal ninja is capable of possessing!

"Such a reaction is expected of Konoha's Silver Flash..."

Juzo Biwa smiled and stepped back abruptly, then his figure dissipated, disappearing without a trace.

The second Mist Swordsman had disappeared with him.

Yeruashi looked around.

Before he knew it, the entire surrounding area, without knowing when, was covered in a thick fog!
