The Mist ninjas and a group of Uchiha ninjas clashed behind them.
“You’re my opponent.”
In an instant, Minato Namikaze threw seven special kunai, scattered around the stream, some by the bank, and some on the nearby treetops.
The locations were completely random, and Minato Namikaze's figure flickered above these special kunai.
This was the terrifying aspect of the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'; enemies had no way of knowing where Minato Namikaze would appear from.
“Ninja Art: Mist Concealment Technique!”
The Mist ninjas immediately took countermeasures.
That was to obscure their vision!
Thick fog instantly enveloped the area.
“What… what do we do…”
It was the first time Obito Uchiha had seen such a situation.
The opponents, wielding strange weapons and hailing from the Mist Village, were clearly the renowned Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
Among ninjas, intelligence warfare was especially important.
Even Obito knew something about the strong individuals from other villages.
Sweat trickled down Obito's forehead as he tightly gripped the kunai in his hand.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared.
When the sound of thunder subsided, an Uchiha's corpse lay on the ground within the mist.
The corpse was lying not far from Obito.
“I will hold the most magnificent funeral for you all.”
Kurosuki Raiga was in tears, which flowed to the sides of his thick lips.
He had a peculiar habit.
That was to “hold funerals” for people who left memories for him, even his own friends.
He would be in tears every time he “held a funeral.”
And the so-called “holding a funeral” was simply killing them!
“You’re next, perhaps.”
In the midst of his battle with Minato Namikaze, Kurosuki Raiga saw Kiyoshi summoning a ninja sword.
The ninja sword was jet black, with only a red stone inlaid at the hilt.
Kurosuki Raiga planned to kill their genius in front of these jonin, which would truly embody the essence of a funeral.
“Kiyoshi…”
Minato Namikaze keenly sensed Kurosuki Raiga’s intentions and immediately threw a special kunai in Kiyoshi's direction.
He frowned, not expecting Kurosuki Raiga to be so shameless.
“You think a mere kunai can compete with lightning?”
The tears flowing from Kurosuki Raiga’s eyes increased, and he was filled with a sense of madness.
Crossing his twin swords, a surge of electricity rushed towards Kiyoshi.
Crackle!
Kurosuki Raiga was just an early-stage boss that Naruto fought.
His pure swordsmanship was even inferior to Tenten.
He was just relying on the mechanics of the 'Lightning Blade Kiba'.
Kiyoshi’s foot left a deep mark on the ground as he moved a few steps to the right, dodging the attack.
“What!”
Kurosuki Raiga was somewhat surprised that his confident strike had missed.
The Sharingan couldn't see through this mist, so Kiyoshi could only judge the distance of the attack based on the sound of the electricity.
He was able to dodge his attack at this distance?
This kid is so fast!
In that moment of distraction, Kiyoshi had already stepped forward, with faint arcs of electricity crackling around his feet.
Boom!
Kiyoshi’s flaming ninja sword collided with Kurosuki Raiga’s twin swords.
“So… so fast.”
Rin Nohara's eyes widened.
The shockwave generated by the clash of their weapons blew away some of the mist.
Rin Nohara was able to take advantage of this gap to see Kiyoshi fighting Kurosuki Raiga.
Kakashi knocked down the Mist ninja who was stunned in front of him and looked over, his eyes filled with shock.
Kiyoshi's speed was more than a notch faster than the last time on the balcony.
He had made a lot of progress since then.
But Kiyoshi was also making progress, and even faster than him!
If he had to describe it, it would be like making leaps and bounds.
Kakashi couldn't figure out the reason why Kiyoshi was so strong, and ultimately could only attribute it to the Uchiha bloodline.
He glanced at the stunned Obito, who didn't seem to have recovered from the sudden ambush by the Mist ninjas.
“Good opportunity!”
Minato Namikaze snapped out of his surprise.
Kiyoshi's reaction speed and his speed were both excellent, and now he could even create opportunities for him to attack.
A blue chakra ball suddenly appeared in Minato Namikaze's palm, constantly compressing and rotating.
Rasengan!
Sensing danger, Kurosuki Raiga hastily took a step back, blocking Minato Namikaze's 'Rasengan'.
The enormous force made his wrist ache, and he retreated several steps in a row.
“I’ll deal with him, you guys deal with the others.”
Minato Namikaze said to Kiyoshi.
“Okay.”
Kiyoshi nodded.
The current Kurosuki Raiga was at the peak of his age and would be stronger than he would be in the future.
Kiyoshi carried his ninja sword and groped through the mist.
The scattered mist had closed in again.
This was the 'Ninja Art: Mist Concealment Technique' used simultaneously by more than a dozen Mist ninjas.
To dispel it would inevitably consume a lot of chakra, and even with Kiyoshi's chakra, which was several times more than ordinary people, it would be a stretch.
Soon, Kiyoshi saw a short woman with long brownish-red hair and vertical braids.
Ringo Ameyuri!
The future second-generation wielder of the 'Lightning Blade Kiba'.
She died young later, and the 'Lightning Blade Kiba' returned to Kurosuki Raiga's daughter, Buntan Kurosuki, making her the third generation.
As for the reason for her early death, Kiyoshi already knew.
That was illness.
Under the insight of Kiyoshi's Sharingan, he could see the faint sweat oozing from Ringo Ameyuri's fair neck.
“Hmph, Uchiha brat.”
Ringo Ameyuri opened her palm and shot out a lightning release ninjutsu.
Kiyoshi quickly dodged the range of the lightning release ninjutsu and approached Ringo Ameyuri.
Being sickly also meant that her physical stamina was not good.
Watching Kiyoshi approaching constantly, Ringo Ameyuri's heart sank.
This kid's speed is too troublesome.
She immediately took out a kunai from her ninja tool bag.
Boom.
The moment she took it out, Kiyoshi's attack came.
The two figures constantly flickered in the mist, dodging ninjutsu that appeared out of nowhere from time to time.
After all, in this mist, only the Mist ninjas had the means to see clearly, and the other ninjas were blind, making it easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.
“Is this all you’ve got?”
Kiyoshi watched Ringo Ameyuri's skin becoming increasingly pale as he swung his ninja sword.
No wonder she died less than three years after becoming the second-generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen; this disease should not be underestimated.
Most of the medical technology in the ninja world still tends to be used for combat, that is, how to quickly heal wounds.
Facing various intractable diseases, it would instead be inferior.
Listening to Kiyoshi's mocking words, Ringo Ameyuri's brow furrowed, and she increased the strength in her hands.
Unfortunately, as time passed, Kiyoshi, who kept pestering her and fighting in close combat and not giving her a chance to distance herself, became more and more dominant.
This amount of physical exertion was not stressful for his strong body at all.
“Cough cough…”
