"Seisuke, do you think Dad will be okay?" Kurenai asked worriedly.
"I don't know if Teacher Shinku will be okay, but we're in trouble." Seisuke immediately turned around, shook his sleeve, and a large number of poisonous snakes rushed out, biting at Garobi who was approaching.
"Tricks of a small - time crook!" Garobi swung his sword and cut off the snakes' heads. Seisuke remained calm in the face of danger. Asuma quickly reacted, threw a shuriken, and rapidly formed hand - seals. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Seisuke's arm turned into blazing flames. In an instant, a thick pillar of fire burst out.
"Water Release: Water Trumpet Jutsu!"
Garobi opened his mouth and spat out a water column that gushed out, scattering the flying shurikens and colliding with the fire pillar. For a moment, a large amount of steam erupted, obscuring their vision.
"I'm afraid we can't escape this time." Seisuke said, "We can't deal with a jonin."
Their strength was sufficient to handle ordinary chunin, but facing a jonin was definitely extremely dangerous.
"At least you have some self - awareness, kid. I'll start with you!" Garobi grinned ferociously, the knife in his hand glinting with cold light.
"Is that so?"
Seisuke pulled out two kunai, ignited flames in his hands, heated the kunai until they were red, and held them without feeling the heat at all.
The red - hot kunai caught Garobi's attention, and he was surprised. "Are you a Kekkei Genkai ninja from Konoha?"
"Guess!"
"It seems I can't kill you!" Garobi said with a malicious smile.
A Kekkei Genkai ninja was very precious. Capturing one alive was more valuable than killing them. As for the other two, he would just kill them, and capture the remaining one alive.
"Kurenai, Asuma, the usual plan." Seisuke said.
"Got it."
Kurenai nodded and immediately climbed up the tree quickly.
Asuma, on the other hand, circled behind Garobi.
"Hmph! You brats are overestimating yourselves! You have no idea the gap between a jonin and a genin. Let me teach you today." Garobi laughed and charged forward, not towards Seisuke, but towards Kurenai in the tree.
"Hidden Shadow Multiple Snake Hands!"
More and thicker large snakes rushed out. There was no time to bind him, so they could only block his way.
"Fire Release: Great Blaze Jutsu!"
Asuma spat out a fierce flame. Garobi cursed inwardly, turned around, and with a single slash, shattered the flames. Seisuke jumped up and kicked him in the arm.
"Kurenai! Is it ready?"
"Ready!" Kurenai completed the last hand - seal. "Genjutsu: Three - Ultimate Cherry Blossom!"
Suddenly, a large number of flower petals appeared in front of Garobi, blocking his vision. "Genjutsu?"
He immediately dispelled the genjutsu himself. In that split second, Seisuke created a shadow clone and said, "Retreat!"
Asuma and Kurenai immediately fled. Seisuke stood there and said, "You'll be staying here from now on."
"Hmph! Kid, don't think you can be arrogant just because you're a Kekkei Genkai ninja!" Garobi sneered disdainfully, twisted his sword, and prepared to attack Seisuke with the back of the sword.
"You can give it a try."
Garobi snorted. Seisuke's arrogance really annoyed him. He was just a genin. What was there to be arrogant about!
He charged forward immediately, the back of the sword slashing towards Seisuke's neck.
It passed right through his neck in an instant.
This scene was as terrifying as seeing a ghost, and it scared him. He was shocked. "Damn it! I clearly dispelled the genjutsu!"
"You fool! You've been in Kurenai's genjutsu all along and never escaped." The muscular man in front of him seemed to think he was still in the genjutsu space because of his own ability. This was getting interesting.
"Impossible! Release!"
He formed hand - seals and immediately made the hand - seals to dispel the genjutsu.
Then he swung his sword at Seisuke!
Cutting him in half!
Flames immediately filled in his body again, and Seisuke said, "Useless struggle. I told you it's a genjutsu. You can't escape. Even the Uchiha clan can't escape Kurenai's genjutsu, let alone you."
"Impossible! This can't be genjutsu! It's fake! It's all fake!" Most of the people from Kumogakure were hot - headed. When they couldn't figure out the situation, he kept swinging his sword, cutting Seisuke's body to pieces. But in an instant, the flames would reconstruct his body.
"Stop struggling." Seisuke smiled, and his shadow clones quickly approached. A small white snake fell onto his wrist, and he quickly moved away.
"No... You..." Garobi realized something was wrong. One shadow clone after another hugged him tightly, and Seisuke also pounced on him, saying, "Die, idiot!"
Ultra Bomb!!
Boom!!!!
A deafening explosion sounded, attracting the attention of both Yuhi Shinku and Raikui, who were engaged in a fierce battle.
"Is that... Seisuke's technique?"
Yuhi Shinku knew that Seisuke had a technique that could be rated as a forbidden jutsu. It was extremely powerful, and even a jonin wouldn't get away unscathed if hit head - on.
It seemed they had been pushed to this extent.
"What's going on? Maki, what about Garobi?"
"Garobi's chakra... has disappeared. He was tricked by those three brats! I'll go take a look!" Maki couldn't sense Garobi's chakra, which meant he was very likely...
"Be careful." After saying that, Raikui immediately left.
"This useless guy! It seems the disciple you've taken isn't a waste." The death of a subordinate didn't shake Raikui. Now he just wanted to quickly defeat Yuhi Shinku.
He jumped to the side and formed hand - seals. "Lightning Release: Earth - Binding Spider Web!"
A lightning spider web appeared on the ground. Yuhi Shinku immediately jumped up. Raikui also jumped up, and his superb ninjutsu - enhanced physical skills burst out. He swung his long sword wrapped in Lightning Release chakra, knocking Yuhi Shinku down.
"Ugh!" His body was struck by lightning, and he was paralyzed all over. Raikui took advantage of the victory and struck with his sword.
But he cut Yuhi Shinku's body into a log.
"Substitution Jutsu!"
"It's about time. The sensory - type ninja has left. There's nothing to worry about." Yuhi Shinku, hidden in the dark, showed a confident smile. He quickly formed hand - seals. "Demonic Illusion: Tree - Binding Death!"
Raikui immediately noticed a large tree growing behind him, and the branches that grew out wrapped around his limbs.
"What is this... Genjutsu?"
Above him, Yuhi Shinku emerged from the tree and said, "That's right. From the moment you decided to fight alone, you were doomed to fail."
Fighting a genjutsu - type ninja alone was the most unwise choice. It was tantamount to courting death.
Raikui struggled, but to no avail. His throat went cold as Yuhi Shinku slit his throat.
The genjutsu ended. Yuhi Shinku shook the blood off his sword and collected Raikui's body. It was important material.
After doing all this, he chased in the direction where Maki had disappeared.
At this moment, Seisuke, who had reconstructed his body after using the Ultra Bomb, had exhausted all his chakra and couldn't muster any strength.
Sitting on the scorching soil, he saw Maki. "This is really adding insult to injury..."
