Chapter 97, Enemy Shadow

The air seemed to be stagnant. Shumu Jianyue's eyelids were slightly drooped, and he looked directly at the enemy in front of him. He silently drew out the pseudo-Kusanagi sword that he had never drawn since taking the exam, and did not fight back immediately.

His intuition told him that the enemy in front of him should not be underestimated. The opponent was obviously not a bastard. Before he knew the details of the enemy, he would not rush forward rashly like Naruto. He did not have the aura of a protagonist.

Surprisingly, the enemy in front of him, who felt very strange to him, did not make any moves other than the attack when it appeared. However, Shu Mu Jian Yue believed that the opponent was waiting for an opportunity.

Just when Shumu Mizuki's attention was attracted by the person in front of him, Hinata Hizashi, who rushed over quickly, suddenly changed his expression and shouted at Shumu Mizuki: "There are still people under Shumu..."

After hearing Hinata Hizashi's reminder, Shumu Jianyue's eyes narrowed, and without any further hesitation, he immediately wanted to use the teleportation technique.



At this moment, the slender figure in his field of vision suddenly moved, like a black stream of light. Even though his dynamic vision had become very good, he could only capture the afterimage of the other person.

Shumu Jianyue reacted quickly, holding the dark long blade in his hand, the axis of his body changed, and the blade suddenly slashed in front of him.



There was a harsh metallic sound, the blades met, and sparks flew out.

Shu Mu Jian Yue pursed her lips and squinted her eyes slightly to stare at the figure in front of her. Under the hood was a metal mask, which strangely did not reveal any eye holes.

At the same time, when the sharp blade that popped out of the opponent's cuff collided with the fake Kusanagi sword, a gap appeared on the blade, but it did not break. This shows that its material is extraordinary. After all, even if the sharp blade in his hand is not a real Kusanagi sword, It is also far superior to ordinary ninja swords.

"Who are you and why do you want to kill me?" Shu Mu Jianyue asked meaninglessly. He did not ask the other party to answer him, but just hoped to distract the other party's attention.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was an inhuman being in front of him. He had no emotions at all and was completely unmoved.



There was a slight sound, and a long blade popped out of the other cuff of the slender figure in front of him, and then stabbed Shumu Jianyue at an extremely weird angle.

"Hmph" Shumu Jianyue quickly drew the knife and deflected the opponent's long blade at a faster speed.

The slender figure didn't seem to care. The double blades flashed and instantly turned into a blade of light that enveloped Shu Mu Jian Yue.

"Cut, two-sword style"

The slender sharp blade in Shu Mu Jian Yue's hand also turned into black shadows to face the opponent, and the harsh metal collision sound of "clang clang" could be heard continuously.

It is undeniable that the enemy that appeared inexplicably, both in terms of the speed of movement and the strange and high-frequency attacks, are extremely rare for Shu Mu Jianyue. Even if he uses the teleportation technique, the opponent can barely keep up. .

Among the enemies that had appeared in the past, except for jounin, his speed advantage had never been so greatly weakened as this time.

However, even though the enemy's blades were made of extraordinary materials, under the pseudo-Kusanagi sword, there were more and more gaps on them, and I'm afraid they would completely collapse before long.

But it is undeniable that Shumu Jianyue was also delayed by him. He was unable to break away from the other party's entanglement in a short period of time, wasting Hinata Hizashi's warning.

Under this situation, Shu Mu Jian Yue had to use two distractions, dealing with the enemy in front of him while guarding against possible attacks from underground.

This scene happened very quickly. At this time, Hinata Hizashi was still ten meters away from Shumu Jianyue. He looked at the ground and saw that the face that already looked ferocious because of the veins around the white eyes became even more ugly.

"Be careful"

Puff puff

Before Hinata Hizashi could finish his words, at the center of the fierce battle between Shumu Mizuki and the slender black shadow, the ground suddenly broke open, and eight long whip shadows sprang out, quickly attacking Shumu Mizuki.

If you look closely at these black figures, you will see that they are iron ropes covered with barbs, showing a strange ferocity and cruelty.

Normally, Shumu Jianyue would have been able to deal with such an attack with ease, but at this time Shumu Jianyue had to deal with the slender black shadow at the beginning, and it would be a bit tricky to deal with these iron ropes.

Since there are not many ways to resist, you can only avoid it first. Idiots also understand that once they are entangled by these things, they will never end well.

After thinking about it, Shu Mu Jianyue held the sword with his right hand to speed up the frequency of slashing, and formed a seal with one hand with his left hand, using the "Substitute Technique"



Half of the bloody corpse replaced the figure of Shumizuki. It was instantly penetrated by the light of the sword and the shadow of the whip. The pieces of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere, and it was completely reduced to pieces. Poor Noro Ryuuji, even his parents recognized him now. It doesn't look like him.



Under the corpse, the mud and rocks on the ground were lifted up, and a tall black shadow jumped out from it. What was shocking was that the whip shadows just now extended from behind it. After returning in vain, they were still surrounding them. Dance around him.

"Are you okay?" Hinata Hizashi came to Shumu Mizuki and said with a solemn expression, "These two are not human beings. If my guess is correct, they should be puppets. The real master is still below."

With the clairvoyance ability of his Byakugan, no secrets could be hidden, but he just didn't have time to tell Shu Mu Jian Yue.

Shumu Jianyue's eyes flashed and he looked at the other Gao Daren who appeared, "Could the puppet be a candidate of Sunagakure in this chunin exam? He is so strong, why haven't I heard of it before?"

This can also explain why the slender enemy's movements were so weird and contrary to common sense, and why there are so many "tentacles" growing out of the back of the new tall figure.

After the tall puppet, another figure appeared from the hole in the ground. His eyes were indifferent, and he glanced at Shumu Jianyue and Hinata Hizashi as if he were looking at a dead person.

It is the master of these two puppets who belongs to a secret army of Sunagakure, codenamed "Saya".

Although their collaborators in Konoha had warned them before that he was not allowed to touch these two people, and even those candidates from famous schools except Uchi were not allowed to touch them, after the exam started, Shaya gave up on them.

But everyone knows that the war between Konoha and Sunagakure is coming, and only ghosts will pay attention to them. Anyway, the purpose from the beginning is just to use the other party. After the matter is over, he can run away. Will the other party still publicize it loudly?

Therefore, he has no scruples at all. Since he is destined to be an enemy, these seeds that may pose a threat to Sunagakure in the future must be wiped out. It is enough to make Konoha suffer a little. If it can disrupt the rhythm of their deployment, then Just better.

Gazing across the remains of Noro Takashi, Saya didn't have much regret for accidentally killing Noro Takashi, and was even slightly happy.

The people behind Noro Ryuuji are moderates in Sunagakure and have always opposed the war. This time, allowing Noro Ryuuji to come to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Selection Examination may not mean that he has no intention of easing the relationship.

Saya's boss is a martial arts sect, and he has always been in tit-for-tat with the people behind Noro Ryuuji because of their different political opinions. This time, Noro Ryuuji died in Konoha, which further intensified the hostility between the two hidden villages, which may not be a bad thing.

These thoughts just flashed through Shaye's mind. On the surface, he had been staring at Shumu Mizuki and Hinata Hizashi. These two were also his hunting targets, but they seemed to be less easy to solve than before.
