"There are at least ten Chunin in this stronghold. We've already killed six of them. The remaining four might counterattack at any moment. We better retreat quickly."
Orochi Maru's voice was a little hoarse.
Even if the three of them were undoubtedly geniuses of their generation, in terms of overall strength, they might not even be a match for the Chunin.
Being able to kill the Chunin and facing them head-on were two different things.
"Listen to my orders."
Akabane's expression was serious. He ran while listening to the sound to determine the location.
The three of them quickly retreated. At the same time, they raised their vigilance to the extreme. In the fog, whether it was a Jonin or a Chunin, they could deal a fatal blow.
"Turn right and attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tsunade instantly attacked and punched the right side.
Bang!
Substitution Technique.
However …
That piece of wood was blasted away by the huge force, but it still caused the blood of the Chunin to surge.
"This strength is too terrifying!"
The Chunin that was attacked was terrified. He felt that it was absurd. Was this really a Genin?
"Turn left, Wind Release."
Orochi Maru threw out a shuriken. At the same time, he formed a seal with both hands.
Wind Release: Gale Palm!
The Gale Palm itself was not strong, but when used together with ninja tools, it had a very strong effect.
The wind in his palms and together with the shuriken, it turned into a storm of steel blades.
This attack was not to kill, but to force the enemy back.
The three of them fought and ran at the same time. Not long after, they widened the distance between them. However, at this moment, a figure quickly approached them.
Jonin, Yama Koichi.
When dealing with a Jonin, words were useless.
Because the other party was stronger and had faster reactions, any order would become an opportunity for the other party to attack. Therefore, Akabane did not intend to command them. Instead …
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
The flames instantly counterattacked when the enemy's Mist Body Blink came.
"What!"
Yama Koichi was shocked. He did not have time to dodge and was quickly hit by the huge fireball.
The difficulty of the Great Fireball Technique was only C class, but its power was very strong. Even if a Jonin was hit at close range, there was still a slim chance of survival.
Yama Koichi could not understand.
How could a Jonin master two transformations at the same time?
How could a Jonin see through the Mist Body Blink and Mist Body Blink?
This was impossible!
He was about to go crazy, but at this moment, he needed to be rational. After being hit by the Grand Fireball, he was severely injured.
"Water Escape – Great Waterfall …"
Great Waterfall Technique.
It's a Ninjutsu that requires Chakra, but at the same time, it's also very difficult to use. But before he finished the hand seals, he suddenly felt Chakra stagnate.
What's going on?
Illusion?
This brat even knows illusions!
The moment Yama Xiao thought of the Shadow Doppelganger from before, he instantly understood everything. The Shadow Doppelganger was this little rascal's!
He had underestimated his opponent.
He was filled with regret and wanted to activate Chakra to dispel the illusion.
However, he realized that he had failed.
"How is this possible? This illusion … is from the Pommel Clan!"
He couldn't believe it, and his heart was filled with endless fear. But soon after, an intense pain spread throughout his body, and the illusion quickly collapsed.
The next second, he saw that his chest had been pierced through by a kunai.
"I told you not to come back, but you insisted on coming back. You even dared to chase after me. Do you think I'm that easy to chase?"
Akabane was gasping for breath, and his eyes were bloodshot due to the intense consumption of his spiritual power.
The entire battle only lasted for a few seconds, but it was the most difficult battle since he transmigrated. Because of this, he even revealed that he knew Fire Release.
"You … how did you …"
Yama Xiao's eyes were wide open, but at this time, Akabane had already escaped far away to avoid a counterattack.
Not long after, he really died.
Along with his life, the fog that covered the mountain also disappeared.
"You … you … you actually killed our leader!"
The remaining four Chunin couldn't believe it. They looked at their leader who had been pierced through the heart. Was this done by three Chunin?
In fact, not to mention them, even Orochi Maru and Tsunade were stunned.
Illusion, Fire Release, Earth Release, Akabane had already mastered three types of Chakra. Just based on the changes in nature, he had already surpassed many Jonins!
"Do you want to die too?"
Akabane's eyes were red, and he looked like a crazy demon.
Even if he used the 400 points he had just accumulated in the system to exchange for 8 points of spiritual power, and successfully used the Five Senses Control on Yama Xiao who was at the end of his rope, he still couldn't change the illusion into reality. He couldn't even push the illusion to develop.
Otherwise, with his character, he wouldn't have used Kunai to kill.
The four Chunin were already terrified. Although there was one more person, and Akabane was at the end of his rope, who knew if the other two Chunin still had many hidden cards?
They didn't dare to gamble because their identity was the "Renegade".
If a Renegade died, the village wouldn't take revenge. Even if they faked their betrayal, it was still the same in name.
For them, living was the only thing that mattered.
"Go, let's go!"
Seeing the four Chunin retreating, Akabane gritted his teeth and didn't faint. Step by step, he steadily led Orochi Maru and Tsunade away.
Orochi Maru turned back, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.
What he hated was not others, but himself. Why did Akabane have three Nature Transformations, but he only had one?
If he had two, perhaps he wouldn't be so useless in battle.
A genius seen once every few decades?
Ha!
Orochi Maru smiled bitterly. Bloodline Limit couldn't be compared, but Chakra Nature Transformations could be learned by anyone.
Tsunade was a little worried and a little uncomfortable.
When she fought with Chunin, she relied on Monstrous Strength Jutsu and Thousand Hands Physique to look down on everyone. But when she encountered a Jonin, she understood how powerless she was.
Monstrous Strength Jutsu alone was not enough!
The Third Generation's words echoed in her ears. She truly understood this sentence.
Akabane's specialty was illusions, but did he only know illusions?
Tsunade used to think so, but now she understood that Akabane had been working hard to make up for his shortcomings.
The gap was too big.
Both of them had the same thought.
"Take me away quickly …"
Akabane consumed too much of his spiritual power, and his head felt like it was about to explode. After barely supporting himself for a while, it was difficult for him to even walk, let alone retreat.
Orochi Maru and Tsunade immediately grabbed his hand and used the Body Flicker Technique to escape to the Whirlpool Tide Village.
Unknowingly, Akabane had already fainted.
"What's going on?!"
On the way back, it didn't take long for them to meet Sarutobi.
Because he trusted the abilities of Akabane, Orochi Maru, and Tsunade, he didn't arrange anything, but when he saw Akabane's clone returning the captured Chunin, he knew that something was going to happen.
"Sensei, I was wrong, I was too impulsive and arrogant!"
Tsunade blamed herself, if it weren't for them, Akabane wouldn't have to face a Jonin.
"Akabane said that we can't go, and we …"
Orochimaru fell silent halfway through his speech.
He knew that Sarutobi could guess the whole story, so he didn't say much.
"You were too impulsive, you dared to fight against a Jonin, do you want to die?"
Sarutobi was angry and immediately went forward to check.
There was no medical ninjutsu in this time, but as a ninja doctor, he knew a lot about medicine.
After checking, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's just that I consumed too much of my spiritual power, I'll be fine after some sleep."
"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened!"
Akabane, who was on Sarutobi's back, said with a black face.
"Our plan was to use Akabane's clone to lead the Jonin away, the plan was very successful at first, but then the other side seemed to react and went back to the mountain … We were chased, fortunately, Akabane could clearly identify the other side's movements in the mist, otherwise, we would have all died."
Tsunade explained everything.
Sarutobi heard the last part and asked: "Did you clean up the traces at the scene?"
"Uh …"
Orochi Maru's expression was sluggish, then he shook his head.
"For a Jonin, these are flaws, if you have a Jonin with you, you don't need to go through so much trouble, so he can be sure that you're not strong enough to kill you."
Sarutobi said with a sneer: "In your eyes, what is a Jonin?"
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced.
If Akabane didn't master the third Chakra nature transformation, the three geniuses would have died here.
