Chapter 31: Water and Fire Clash, Sealing the Sharingan, Blue Dog's Trump Card, Root's Tru
"Lure us out?" Hearing Shen Yue's almost certain words, Blue Dog and Mad Bull both felt a hint of surprise and doubt.
"This Uchiha kid seems to have known we were coming all along, and he's not flustered at all?"
"Have we really fallen into a trap?"
However, as elites of the Root organization, they spend years walking in the shadows and carrying out missions that cannot be seen in the light, and their mental fortitude is far beyond that of ordinary ninjas.
The initial shock and doubt were instantly suppressed by a chilling killing intent.
"Hmph, you sharp-tongued Uchiha brat, still daring to spout nonsense and deceive us even when you're about to die?" Mad Bull let out a muffled, cold snort through his mask, his voice filled with undisguised mockery and killing intent: "Whatever you know, it's pointless to say more today. Lord Danzo has ordered that your life be taken and your eyes retrieved. You, and your two troublesome subordinates, none of you will leave here alive!"
Blue Dog didn't speak, but he slightly adjusted the angle of his ninja sword, the cold light reflecting off the blade locking onto Shingetsu's throat, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Arrogant! Who do you think you are, daring to spout nonsense about our captain and the Uchiha clan?!" Qing Shui was furious when he heard that the other party not only admitted to targeting Shen Yue, but also included him and Tie Shu on the assassination list.
His pride as an Uchiha and his loyalty to his captain made him unable to tolerate this disrespect.
Iron Tree, equally enraged, gripped his kunai tightly: "Captain, let's go! These two cowardly cowards are really showing no respect for the Uchiha clan! We'll teach them a lesson ourselves!"
They knew their captain was formidable, but their opponents were, after all, two adult ninjas, members of Root who specialized in assassination missions, whose strength should not be underestimated.
As subordinates, they should share the pressure with their captain, especially since the other party's attitude had thoroughly enraged them.
Shingetsu glanced at his two subordinates, who were brimming with fighting spirit, with his crimson Sharingan and nodded slightly.
He didn't stop them, but instead shielded Qing Shui and Tie Shu in front of him.
After all, elites are forged through trials of life and death.
If these two guys hide behind him all day long, how can they ever become true strongmen?
"Be careful, the Root guys are cunning, don't let your guard down."
"Yes, Captain!" With permission granted, Qing Shui and Tie Shu perked up and immediately stepped forward side by side to confront Lan Quan and Kuang Niu.
However, what happened next surprised Qing Shui and Tie Shu.
Instead of stepping forward, the towering bull took a half-step back and stood behind the blue dog, arms crossed, looking like a bystander.
Blue Dog stood alone, sword in hand, facing Qing Shui and Iron Tree.
"Blue Dog alone is more than enough to deal with you two greenhorns." Mad Bull's voice came through the mask, carrying a condescending disdain: "Perfect, let Blue Dog warm up before we deal with your arrogant captain."
"asshole!"
"This is outrageous!" Upon hearing this, Qing Shui and Tie Shu's anger intensified.
How could the other side underestimate them so much, sending only one person to fight?
Throughout the entire ninja world, everyone knows that when dealing with the Sharingan, one must either fight or flee.
This is an absolute and blatant insult!
"Don't underestimate me, make your move!" Qing Shui shouted angrily, exchanging a glance with Tie Shu.
The two had been partners for a long time and had excellent teamwork. Almost simultaneously, they threw several shuriken in a triangular formation towards Blue Dog's upper, middle, and lower positions, attempting to disrupt and probe him.
The blue dog's eyes beneath the mask remained completely still, even conveying a hint of relaxation.
He didn't move his feet, but with a flick of his wrist, the ninja sword in his hand turned into a blurry flash of light.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Several crisp metallic clangs rang out almost in unison, and all the incoming shuriken were precisely deflected, bouncing off the tree trunks on either side and embedding themselves deeply within them.
"Such a fast blade!" Qing Shui and Tie Shu were startled when they saw this, but their attack did not stop.
The shuriken was just a feint. The moment the shuriken was drawn, the two of them lowered their bodies and charged up from the left and right sides like cheetahs, heading straight for the blue dog!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Halfway through his charge, Qing Shui abruptly stopped, his hands quickly forming hand seals, his chest bulging, and he opened his mouth to spew out a blazing fireball!
Although its power was far less terrifying than that of Shen Yue, its diameter was still over one meter. It roared towards the blue dog, blocking its frontal escape space.
At the same time, Iron Tree accelerated from the flank, his kunai flashing coldly as he thrust it straight at Blue Dog's ribs!
A typical combination of fire-style cover and taijutsu surprise attack.
In particular, their Sharingan allows them to predict the opponent's moves.
Everything was coordinated perfectly.
"Not bad!" Shen Yue and Shisui, who were in the shadows, both nodded slightly in appreciation upon seeing this scene.
Faced with this situation of being attacked from both above and below, and attacked from both sides by fire and water, a hint of smugness, as if his plan had succeeded, flashed in Blue Dog's eyes.
"That's exactly what we've been waiting for, you foolish Uchiha!"
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
He also quickly formed hand seals, and a surging stream of water appeared out of thin air, crashing head-on into the incoming fireball!
laugh!
The collision of water and fire produced a deafening roar and a large amount of scalding white steam!
The blazing fireball and the water collided violently, and the resulting high temperature instantly vaporized a large amount of water!
The thick white fog spread rapidly in all directions like an explosion, completely enveloping the location where Blue Dog, Green Water, and Iron Tree were in the blink of an eye!
Even the figures of Shenyue and Kuangniu, who were standing a little distance away, became blurred.
A thick white fog blanketed the area, severely obscuring visibility, and the air was thick with scorching moisture.
"Damn it! They're trying to use the mist to interfere with the Sharingan's vision!" Aoshui's voice came from within the mist, tinged with annoyance and vigilance.
While the Sharingan possesses incredible insight, its visibility and accuracy are significantly reduced in this swirling, spreading thick fog.
Iron Tree immediately held its breath, leaned against the green water, and vigilantly sensed its surroundings.
The blue dog seemed to have vanished into the mist, leaving only a dangerous aura lingering.
Shen Yue stood still, his three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotating, piercing through layers of mist and locking onto the changes in the arena.
"As expected, they've studied the Uchiha clan quite a bit; they've even come up with methods and tactics to counter the Sharingan!"
"This battle is somewhat similar to Zabuza's fight against Kakashi later on. The Sharingan was sealed by mist, and then a silent assassination was used. The Root ninjas must also be skilled in assassination!"
"It seems that Qing Shui and Tie Shu are in trouble this time!" Shen Yue watched the battle in the arena quietly.
The Root organization's ninjas are indeed cunning and ruthless in their fighting style, immediately using the most effective methods to limit the Uchiha's advantage in eye techniques.
This is clearly the result of special research and countless rehearsals.
Danzo's hostility towards the Uchiha clan was impossible to conceal.
"Qingshui, Tieshu, stand back to back, watch your step and your hearing, don't get picked off one by one," Shenyue warned, her clear, cold voice piercing through the mist and reaching her two subordinates.
The mad bull, standing at the edge of the fog, crossed his arms, his mouth split open beneath his mask, resembling a murderer ready to devour its prey.
"Foolish! Blue Dogs are experts at hunting in this kind of environment!"
"The hunt has only just begun!"
