Dangerous situation (4)

Realizing that Hikari had fallen into his trap, Hideki made a hand sign followed by a loud explosion.

Hikari felt searing pain as the explosion reverberated around her, her attempt to dodge being partially successful, but still, she suffered serious injuries. Blood was dripping from the place where her right arm used to be and her legs were shaking due to the force of the explosion that hit her. Her eyes widened in despair, realizing the seriousness of her situation.

Hideki and Dazen wasted no time. With an agile and deadly movement, Dazen advanced on Hikari, his gleaming sword piercing the Kumo ninja's heart. Hikari had a frozen expression in a mask of shock and before she could do anything, Dazen sent a wave of lightning through his sword that completely destroyed her heart, killing her definitively.

"One down" Dazen said, his voice hard but relieved. "Now for the next one."

The scarred man, seeing his partner fall, screamed in fury. He redoubled his efforts against Ayume, his attacks becoming even more savage and desperate. Ayume, although agile and skilled, was beginning to feel the pressure of prolonged combat.

Dazen and Hideki quickly regrouped, their eyes fixed on the scarred man. "We need to take him down now, before he has the chance to do anything drastic," Hideki said, his senses always alert.

Dazen nodded so far everything had gone according to plan they planned to go all out and kill at least one of the ninjas and then focus on just one target, it was a dangerous opposite but Dazen knew they had a chance if their opponents underestimated them and that's exactly what happened.

Dazen and Hideki exchanged a quick, determined look. They knew that the next fight would be even more difficult, but they could not retreat now.

"Come on, Dazen," Hideki said, his eyes fixed on the enemy. "Let's get this over with."

Ayume, realizing the intensity of the situation, adjusted her combat stance, preparing for the next attack. Dazen then quickly entered combat, the plan was simple: Dazen and Ayume would pressure the enemy at short and medium distance, while Hideki would use genjutsu and long-range jutsus to support and destabilize the opponent.

The fight began with an explosion of movement. Dazen advanced first, his sword glowing with lightning chakra, while Ayume launched a series of incendiary kunais to surround the enemy and limit their movement options. The scarred man, realizing the strategy, jumped back, avoiding most of the attacks, but was forced to continually retreat.

'Wind Style: Slashing Blast' once again sent a wave of wind blades towards the Kumo ninja. The blades cut through trees and leaves, forcing the enemy to move even faster.

Even with the combined pressure from Dazen and Ayume, the Kumo ninja demonstrated their superiority. With agile movements, he dodged attacks and counterattacked with deadly precision. Every blow he delivered was calculated to destabilize his opponents. Dazen felt the weight of the enemy's blows even though he was defending himself, the force of the impact made his arms shake.

Ayume, in turn, used her agility to dodge and counterattack with fireballs. 'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!' A huge fireball was launched towards the Kumo ninja, who jumped to the side, but not without being partially hit, leaving burn marks on his left arm.

"You are persistent" shouted the scarred man, with a tone of disdain mixed with respect. "But it won't be enough!"

He quickly formed hand seals, and summoned a large amount of chakra.

'Lightning Style: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang.'

Soon a wolf formed by lightning was summoned and chased Ayume and Dazen.

The creature formed by lightning quickly advanced towards Dazen and Ayume, its fangs glowing with fierce electricity. Dazen and Ayume narrowly dodged, feeling the wave of heat and energy as it passed them. The scarred man took advantage of the distraction caused by the lightning wolf and attacked with renewed ferocity.

Hideki, realizing the imminent danger, concentrated, trying to keep the Kumo ninja under pressure. "Wind Style: Great Destruction!" The wind tornado advanced again, but the enemy ninja was prepared this time. With a quick movement, he dispelled part of the tornado with his own lightning energy, demonstrating incredible mastery over his chakra.

"Do you think a genin can stop me?" he cried, with a cruel laugh.

Dazen and Ayume tried to keep up the pressure, but they were running out of breath and energy. The Kumo ninja launched a series of quick and precise attacks, forcing them to continually retreat. The lightning creature, still active, turned its attention to Ayume, chasing her tirelessly.

"Ayume, be careful!" shouted Dazen, but his words were almost lost in the chaotic battle.

Ayume launched another fireball, trying to drive the lightning wolf away, but the creature simply passed through the flames, unaffected. Feeling her desperation increase, she continued to dodge nimbly, but exhaustion was beginning to take its toll. Dazen, seeing the situation deteriorate, knew he needed to act quickly.

Hideki, observing everything from a slightly elevated position, launched another genjutsu in an attempt to destabilize the Kumo ninja. "Genjutsu: Cloak of Shadows!" The illusion momentarily obscured the enemy's vision, creating multiple copies of Dazen and Ayume.

"Good one, Hideki," Dazen murmured, taking advantage of the opening. He advanced with a series of quick strikes, forcing the Kumo ninja to defend himself.

Ayume, sensing the opportunity, launched explosive kunais around, creating a smokescreen and chaos. The lightning creature, lost in the confusion, disappeared in a burst of electricity as it was struck by one of the kunais.

The Kumo ninja roared in frustration, realizing he was being pressured. With a swift movement, he formed more hand seals, preparing a devastating attack. "Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon!"

A huge lightning dragon emerged, roaring as it charged at the three genins. Hideki tried to dispel the technique with a wind jutsu, but the power of the attack was overwhelming. The lightning dragon struck the three, sending them flying backwards with force. Ayume was the hardest hit, being thrown against a tree with a brutal impact, leaving her stunned.

Dazen and Hideki, although injured, quickly got up, knowing that they could not allow the enemy to have any advantage. The Kumo ninja, seeing Ayume vulnerable, charged forward with deadly intent. His eyes shone with determination and cruelty.

Dazen watched the Kumo ninja go at fast speed towards the fallen Ayume and thought: 'Damn, I'm too far away, I have no other option.'

Soon Dazen made several hand signs, 'Lightning Style: Lightning Speed', soon electricity could be seen circling Dazen's body and he left with great speed towards Ayume.

'I haven't mastered this jutsu yet, the pain is almost unbearable, but I have no other option.' Thought Dazen as he gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

The scarred man launched a lightning jutsu straight towards Ayume, but Dazen managed to get there in time, using his own sword to deflect part of the attack. The electric shock hit him hard, making his body shake and his ribs break upon impact, but he managed to protect Ayume.

"Dazen!" shouted Hideki, his voice thick with worry.
