Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

To be honest, Kaguya Rei himself did not expect that today's operation would go so smoothly.

When formulating the action plan, Kaguya Rei and the two Kirigakure jounin were already prepared to be discovered by Konoha's ninjas when they approached the outpost, and were prepared to transform the infiltration operation into a frontal attack.

But I don't know if it's because someone on the Kirigakure side has a lucky star shining brightly today, or because someone on the Konoha side has a death star shining brightly, but the ninja on duty today happened to be a guy who had just recovered from an injury and was low on energy.

Taking advantage of the gap between his fight with the Sandman, Kirigakure's ANBU effortlessly eliminated him and advanced towards the interior of the outpost.

And Hatake Kakashi, the strongest man in the outpost, ran out and looked at the sky alone for some unknown reason. Not only did he miss the opportunity to detect the surprise attack at the first time, but he also because it was ridiculous to use Sharingan to look at the scenery. I wasted a lot of my little chakra...

But this does not mean that Kirigakure's side can open the champagne in advance to celebrate the success of the operation.

Rei Kaguya knew very well that Hatake Kakashi was a 50-50 ninja player. Facing such a bright-minded guy, any recklessness or carelessness might cause the other party to seize the opportunity to level the situation.

Therefore, he, who was responsible for restraining Kakashi Hatake, showed ten or even nine percent of his seriousness from the beginning, constantly forcing Kakashi Hatake to make the choice he least expected——

Consume chakra to crack ninjutsu.

"Ten finger piercing bullets!"

Without taking any extra action to take out the ninja tool from his waist, Kaguya Rei simply adjusted his posture slightly when he and Hatake Kakashi were about to cross paths with each other, raised his left hand and moved away from him. Hatake Kakashi, who defeated Nohara Rin, fired a shower of sharp hidden weapons.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"

The earthen wall rolled up in front of Kakashi Hatake. Although those pale finger bones could not completely penetrate the defense of the earthen wall, Kakashi Hatake was still able to poke out half of the earthen wall in front of him. The "hidden weapon" on his fingertips made him break into a cold sweat.

"Corpse Bone Vein... That guy is covered in weapons and armor. Conventional Taijutsu and Kunai attacks have no effect on him at all. But as for Ninjutsu, my current chakra does not support my repeated use of it. His threatening technique..."

"Do you still have time to be dazed!?"

Bah.

Kaguya Rei didn't leave much time for Kakashi to think, so he waved the sharp bone blade in his hand to cut through the wall formed by the earth flow wall, and once again attacked Kakashi who was thinking at high speed. .

He raised the kunai in his hand, trying to parry the opponent's bone blade just like he did when he blocked Kaguya Rei's first attack——

But this time, the huge power transmitted from the bone blade far exceeded his expectations. Not only did it easily split the kunai in his hand, but it also left a path that was by no means shallow on his chest. of wounds.

[Grasp of Immortality] +1.

Looking at the slightly stunned look in Kakashi's eyes as he stepped back, Kaguya Rei's face hidden behind the mask couldn't help but have a slightly smug smile. He picked a sword and tied it with one hand. He made a few uncomplicated seals, and then shouted in a low voice:

"Water Escape·Cuiliu."

This jutsu is a C-level ninjutsu developed by Kaguya Rei. The effect is not complicated. It just extracts and gathers the water in the surrounding environment to form a ball that can be large or small depending on the amount of chakra injected by the caster. The water ball is used for other water escape techniques, but if an injured and bleeding target appears within the range of this technique...

"Guah——"

A scarlet fountain suddenly burst out from the wound on Kakashi's chest.

Although Hatake Kakashi controlled his muscles in time to temporarily close the wound and quickly exited the range of this technique, he still lost nearly 300 ml of blood under this sudden blow. This made his already unfavorable situation worse. Even before he found a way to deal with this technique, he would lose the qualification to get close to Kaguya Rei——

"Chidori!"

Kakashi who retreated turned into a ball of lightning and dissipated, and among the bloody water balls gathering in front of Kaguya Rei, Hatake Kakashi's figure suddenly appeared!

His right hand was wrapped with thunderous thunder. The thunder-attribute chakra activated his cells and nerves, allowing him to burst out at a speed that surpassed the physical ninja in a short period of time. In an instant, the thunder light In a flash, the offensive and defensive positions change!

Bah.

Kakashi's right hand easily penetrated Kaguya Rei's hastily created periosteum and his arms blocking his chest, piercing his heart easily like a hot knife cutting through butter!

Clone Technique + Substitute Technique + Transformation Technique, the most basic Three Body Technique, forms the core of Hatake Kakashi's reversal of the battle.

If Namikaze Minato, who is known as "Yellow Flash", were here, he would probably greatly appreciate Kakashi's exquisite and accurate judgment of the battle situation, and have the idea of ​​​​letting Kakashi try to learn the "Flying Thunder God Technique" bring it on.

But unfortunately, the people who witnessed this scene at this time were Rei Kaguya, who was an ANBU of Kirigakure, and Nohara Lin, who was trapped in the water prison by him. No matter which party they were, they would not follow Kakashi's words. A set of counter-attacks against the short and big was given with sincere praise.

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that you are only on the second floor."

"Varied……"

He didn't expect that the other party could speak like a normal person even after his heart was penetrated. Hatake Kakashi's reaction was a little slow at this moment.

Then, he was forcefully locked on his right arm by "Kaguya Rei" who should have lost all his strength, and the "clone" who restrained Nohara Lin with the Water Prison Technique raised his hand unhurriedly, He leisurely formed seals and shouted:

"Dance of Karamatsu: Thorny Punishment."

Phew.

Although Kakashi immediately waved his iron-cutting right hand after being hugged, cutting the body of "Rei Kaguya" in an attempt to get out of the opponent's control, but the result of losing the opportunity was that he His body was pierced by dozens of sharp bones that suddenly exploded from "Kaguya Rei".

In just an instant, there were more than a dozen blood holes of various sizes on Kakashi's body, staining his Jounin coat red, as well as his eye that was not black and red.

"Clone...Clone Technique? No, it's not an ordinary clone technique. Even the Sharingan didn't notice it right away..."

Hatake Kakashi once again retreated to a place dozens of meters away from Kaguya Rei in embarrassment, panting like an ox, staring at the Kirigakure Anbu who had laid a trap early and successfully wounded him severely, and after completing After completing all his missions, "Kaguya Rei"'s body also shed all disguises, fell to the ground, and revealed its original appearance——

A glistening white bone that looks like it was deformed and enlarged from the vertebrae.

"Corpse Bone Vein·Bone Clone."

Kaguya Rei silently recited the true name of the clone technique that deceived Kakashi's Sharingan.

Similar to the principle of Wood Release and Wood Clone, special media and chakra are used to create clones that are more powerful and stable than ordinary clone techniques, so as to confuse the enemy's judgment in battle and deceive them into attacking threats to one's existence. .

It's just that compared to the first Hokage Senju Hashirama who could casually create multiple wooden clones that could deceive the Mangekyou Sharingan, now Rei Kaguya wants to create a bone clone that can deceive the Sharingan. , you also need to extract your own spine to serve as the core material.

Even if he has considerable recovery power brought by corpse bone veins and [Immortal Grip], the number of bone clones he can create is still quite limited.

Looking at the injuries on Kakashi's body, Nohara Lin in the water prison couldn't help but show a very anxious and panic expression.

Judging from the technique used by the Kirigakure ANBU who caught him, as long as Kakashi still had unhealed wounds, he could forcibly draw Kakashi's blood from the wounds in close combat. Coming out, this is a huge trouble that is almost impossible to avoid and solve for a ninja like Kakashi who lacks the ability to recover.

What's worse is that the Kirigakure Anbu who caught him is a descendant of the Kaguya clan. He has the Blood Succession Limited Corpse Bone Vein, which is famous for its powerful physical offensive and defensive capabilities and recovery capabilities. Even a powerful and lethal ninja like Kakashi It's hard to say that a Jōnin with this technique would have the chance to crush all his defenses in an instant and end the fight between the two sides.

Since Kakashi is likely to be dragged to death by the guy in front of him, there is only one thing left for him to do——

"Kakashi, run, run away!"

"Go and report Kirigakure's invasion to the village. We can't let their plan succeed!!!"

Even though there was a thick layer of water between them, and even though there was a distance of tens of meters between the two sides, the Sharingan from Obito Uchiha still clearly reflected Nohara Rin's difficult mouth shape to Hatake. In Kakashi's mind.

"Lin!?"

"Run away!!! Do you want everyone in the village to become victims of Kirigakure's invasion!?"

Hatake Kakashi gritted his teeth tightly, as if he didn't notice the fact that he had bitten his teeth with blood due to excessive force.

Damn it, damn it! Damn it! ! !

That's it again! That's it again!

Obito has obviously entrusted his eyes to me... Why am I still so powerless! ?

Why can't I protect Lin? ?

However, Kakashi finally chose to listen to Lin's begging, turned around and ran away.

Because he had become a jounin of Konoha, he knew very clearly what serious consequences would result if he failed to pass the information about Kirigakure's undeclared war back to the village.

With most of Konoha's combat power still confronting Iwagakure and Kumogakure on the borders of the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder, Kirigakure's ninja army can even directly attack Konoha's own village!

And once something like that happened, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who had already planned to negotiate peace with Konoha, would never mind holding back Konoha's main combat power, and then severely damaged Konoha in Kirigakure. After that, he will compete with Kirigakure for the territory of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi can't let that happen, even if there is only a slight possibility, it must be nipped in the bud.

So now, he must leave alive and pass this information to other Konoha ninjas in the Land of Fire.

Then, he could come back to rescue Nohara Lin with the determination to die.

[The mission target, Nohara Lin, has been captured. Please cooperate with your teammates as soon as possible to make it a controlled three-tailed Jinchuuriki. 】

Listening to the system prompts, Kaguya Rei took a deep breath, released the water prison technique that restrained Nohara Rin, and threw her to her subordinate Mikazuki Eri, who was looking at him with excitement and admiration, looking up at the darkness. The night sky silently thought:

"Okay, now that I have obtained the subsistence allowance, I should consider how to escape from Obito Uchiha with the things I need..."
