Undercurrent of Konoha

Captain Tenzo and Uozuki Yuugao have received information from Heiji and are ready to prepare.

If the two sides were to fight, Kijin Zabuza and Shiraishi would be weak on their own, and there would be almost no possibility of survival.

Heiji stopped and looked up at the cold first quarter moon hanging in the night sky.

The worry in his heart had turned into a touch of sadness, and his dark eyes were shrouded in a hazy mist.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint gasp coming from the silent night.

Heiji's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is it...you...there is no one else here...only you...and me..."

There was no response at all, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops could be heard.

That gasp was instantly blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.

"Is it an illusion..."

Heiji smiled bitterly, lowered his head, curled up, and continued to walk quietly in the night.

In a hidden dark corner, a crystal clear teardrop slid down from a beautiful and moving face, which looked particularly cold under the moonlight.

This night seemed extraordinarily long.

Heiji stood on the bridge built of reinforced concrete, feeling lost.

Suddenly a thick white fog arose around it, instantly enveloping the entire bridge, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.

"It seems that I guessed correctly... Zabuza is indeed alive."

A sharp, weird laugh suddenly sounded.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Kakashi. You are still like that, leading a few useless brats..."

"Look at them, they are already trembling with fear..."

Four tall figures suddenly appeared in the four corners, surrounding Kakashi and others and Heiji in the center.

The huge beheading sword was filled with the strong smell of blood. When it was swung, it seemed as if countless innocent souls were moaning in pain.

"Go ahead!"

A faint smile appeared on Kakashi's face, and his expression looked relaxed and carefree.

The shuriken quickly slashed across Kijin Zabuza's body, blood splattering everywhere.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes had turned red without knowing when, and his pair of Magatama Sharingan eyes had seen through everything.

What fell under the shuriken was nothing more than the four water avatars of Kijin Zai Fuza, which had turned into a puddle of water on the bridge.

"You're a brat of the Uchiha clan...Shiro...it seems you have met your match!"

A young man in blue wearing a grimace mask and a bun on his head slowly stood up, his eyes swept across Uchiha Sasuke's body, and briefly stayed on Heiji's body.

Haruno Sakura held the shuriken tightly and protected Uncle Tatsuna behind her.

Naruto Uzumaki was currently guarding Uncle Tazuna's home, protecting the safety of the remaining family.

"I don't want to kill anyone...but I have to do it."

The young man in green clasped his hands together and formed a strange mark.

Facing Sasuke Uchiha, who had double Magatama Sharingan, he didn't hesitate at all and directly used the strongest secret technique of his blood successor.

"Secret technique!"

"Magic mirror ice crystal!"

A biting cold air suddenly rose from the bridge deck, turning into ice walls as high as a person.

The surface of the ice wall is as smooth as a mirror, like huge magic mirrors, reflecting the figures around it so realistically.

Almost instantly, Uchiha Sasuke was surrounded by the magic mirror, leaving not even a single gap.

The place where Heiji stood was only a few steps away from Sasuke, but was cleverly separated by the magic mirror.

The young man in green stood in front of the magic mirror and looked back at Heiji with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Then, he swayed and entered the magic mirror.

In an instant, all the magic mirrors were filled with the figure of the young man in green.

"I'm sorry...I have to kill you..."

All the young men in green clothes in the magic mirror slowly raised their right hands, and a thin and long ice needle on the fingertips shone with a cold light.

Thousands of needles are fired.

Uchiha Sasuke let out a ferocious roar, and his skin was scratched by ice needles, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Hatake Kakashi rushed over and wanted to lend a helping hand, but was stopped by Kijin Zabuza. As soon as the two of them met, they used their own unique skills.

This time, Zabuza learned his lesson and was completely hidden in the dense fog, preventing Kakashi's Sharingan from seeing any trace.

Below the bridge is the vast blue ocean. The power of Zabuza's water ninjutsu is more than two or three times stronger than before.

While Kakashi was worried about Sasuke's safety, he also had to be wary of a sneak attack by Zabuza's decapitating sword that suddenly appeared in the thick fog, and was completely exhausted.

On the other side of the bridge, Tenzo and Uzuki Yuugao were tightly entangled by three jounin from the Country of Mist.

Tenzo's Wood Release Ninjutsu is greatly reduced in power near salt-rich seawater.

He and Uzuki Xiyan were bombarded by three jounin with water attribute chakra using various powerful water ninjutsu. They could only parry but had no power to fight back.

"I haven't arrived yet, how can you take action?"

Before anyone arrived, Uzumaki Naruto's proud voice had already reached everyone's ears.

"Naruto...you are attacking outside...don't come in..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom", and Uzumaki Naruto was standing next to Uchiha Sasuke, patting his shoulder with his hand, laughing.

With these magic mirrors, it is almost easy to get in from the outside, but it is extremely difficult to get out!

"Idiot... didn't I... tell you... never come in?"

Sasuke originally had a glimmer of hope for Naruto's arrival, but now he looked at Naruto as if he was mentally retarded, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"I'm so stupid... to have hope in you..."

Sasuke stood up with difficulty and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Art fire escape ho fireball--"

Raging flames spurted out from Sasuke's mouth, immediately setting all the surrounding ice wall magic mirrors in flames.

"It's useless... don't waste your energy... Resisting will only make your death more painful..."

The voice of the young man in green was slightly hoarse.

The flames disappeared, but the magic mirror surrounding Sasuke and Naruto showed no sign of melting.

The young man in green slowly raised his right hand again, and the ice needles on his fingertips shone with a cold light.

Thousands of needles come together!

This time, Naruto and Sasuke screamed in agony at the same time, uncertain whether they were alive or dead.

Heiji stood outside, his clear eyes wide open and even a little rosy.

At this moment, he must make a difficult choice.

The system once again promulgated a main task. If it is followed, the young man in green will definitely die!

Eliminate the traitors!

Clear out the traitors...

Is this young man who looks like a flower going to die miserably in his own hands...

Every ninja has his own mission... Now that he has determined his mission, he must go on unswervingly...

Only in this way can you realize your own way of Ninja!

Heiji slowly stretched out his right index finger and touched the hard shell of the magic mirror formed by the thick ice wall.
