Chapter 47: Troublesome Enemies
As always, he started with a shuriken attack, covering Zabuza's surprise attack.
However, perhaps because she had just been ambushed by Kakashi, Kujaku was very alert at this moment.
Although Kaito and Zabuza were extremely careful in their sneak attack, she still managed to dodge it miserably.
Casually throwing the still unconscious Uchiha Obito aside, Kujaku took out her two swords with a wary look on her face and looked at the two of them.
The two people who suddenly appeared here did not interrupt the battle between Hoki and Kakashi, but just made them more vigilant while fighting.
Kujaku glanced coldly at the Kiri Headguards of Mirukawa Kaito and Momochi Zabuza.
"Ninjas from Kirigakure Village? Why are you here to save the brats from Konohagakure Village?"
Zabuza, who had already identified the opponent as his target, completely ignored the opponent's questions, quickly formed hand seals and performed the Water Clone Jutsu, and attacked forward again.
At the same time, Kaito also cooperated with Blue to use the "Water Gun Enhanced Shotgun Satellite Shuriken Style". The water flow wrapped around the high-speed rotating shuriken and shot rapidly towards Kujaku.
Seeing that the two little devils ignored her words and continued to attack, Kujaku became even more angry.
"Go to hell, little devil! Whirlwind!"
Kujaku roared and swung the two swords crossed in front of her chest at the same time, and two streams of air flew out at high speed on the swords.
The airflow seemed ordinary at first, but it quickly expanded and became violent after leaving the sword.
In an instant, the howling whirlwinds rushed towards Kaito and Zabuza like two angry dragons.
Water guns, shurikens, clones, all attacks in the whirlwind's path were dispersed by the powerful whirlwind.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly dodged, trying to avoid being swallowed by the whirlwind. However, the whirlwind was too fast, and the two of them had to protect their chests with their arms, and were thrown into the air by the whirlwind.
Zabuza was lucky. After being blown away for a distance, the wind gradually weakened. He struggled to regain his balance in the air and landed safely.
Kaito saw that he could not avoid the incoming tornado, so he hugged Blue and protected him in his arms.
Then he was caught up in the strong wind and, like a kite with a broken string, crashed heavily into the thick tree trunk behind him.
The severe pain in his arms and back prevented Kaito from fainting. He raised his hand to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
However, he didn't expect that his right hand was cut by a strong wind or by a shuriken that was blown back. There was even more blood at the corner of his mouth because of this cut, which made him look somewhat hideous.
Kaito felt a little scared. If his luck was worse and the shuriken was blown away and hit his vitals directly, he might directly trigger the anti-instant death effect of the [Focus Sash] and fall into a coma due to serious injuries.
He didn't expect the opponent's attack to be so strong, but for this extra who is not even a small boss, Kaito really can't remember how these guys in the original work were defeated by the opponent.
Kaito endured the pain and gave a wink to Zabuza in the distance. Regardless of whether Zabuza understood it or not, he rolled over and hid behind a big tree.
Kujaku, who had blown two people away with one blow, did not continue to pursue after seeing her victory. Instead, she lightly clasped her two swords into one, stood in place and began to mock with a look of disdain on her face.
"Ninja? A ninja without excellent ninja tools is nothing! My Weaknessless Soaring Shortswords can control the strong wind with almost no consumption. Your attacks are nothing compared to this ninja tool!"
Zabuza, who had received a signal from Kaito, was already hiding behind a huge rock. When he heard Kujaku's ridicule, he was ready to attack again.
As soon as Zabuza showed his head, two high-speed wind blades brushed past his cheeks.
After the wind blade flew past Zabuza, it continued to cut through a large area of bamboo forest without stopping and whizzed away. Zabuza had no choice but to retreat behind the boulder again.
Kaito ignored Kujaku's words, endured the pain, formed seals with his hands and released the "Aqua Ring" to heal his wounds.
Blue, who had been silent on the side, showed a hint of determination in his eyes when he saw his master being hurt so much in order to protect him.
Without waiting for Kaito to finish the treatment, Blue's short figure turned into a beam of blue light and used "Quick Attack" with all his strength to rush towards the place where Kujaku was standing.
"Pah~"
"Pah~"
"Pah~"
Continuous trampling sounds rang out in the dense forest. After long-term training, Blue had already adapted to using obstacles to increase his speed in this complex terrain.
Kaito, who realized that Blue had rushed out after hearing the sound, stood up in a hurry. Before he could take a step, he saw that Blue had almost rushed to Kujaku.
"Huh~~"
Another gust of wind blew out, blowing Blue, who was about to rush to the enemy, back again.
Fortunately, Blue was small in size and weight, so he was not hurt. Kaito jumped to catch Blue and quickly hid himself.
Kujaku seemed a little angry and embarrassed because she was almost successfully ambushed.
She waved her hands continuously, and countless wind blades and whirlwinds swept across the entire bamboo forest.
A large number of bamboo trees were chopped off and swept away, clearing a large open space in just a moment.
During this period, Kaito and Zabuza also made many attempts.
However, if you get close, you will be blown away, and if you attack from a distance, the wind will disperse you. Even if you want to attack from blind spots at the same time, you will fail repeatedly because the opponent only needs to turn around and attack back.
Even though Kaito didn't hesitate to use up his chakra to perform the charged 'Water Shuriken' in a waterless environment, the giant whirlwind released by the opponent's three consecutive swings changed the attack direction and it failed to hit the target.
Not only were their attacks ineffective, but they also had to be careful of high-speed wind blade attacks, which can easily leave a deep wound on their bodies that can be seen to the bone.
Seeing that such powerful attacks were released frequently, it seemed that the opponent really had no consumption at all, so Kaito had to call Blue to reunite with Zabuza again.
Fortunately, at this moment the two of them have roughly figured out the opponent's attack range. Although they can't attack the enemy, they are not afraid of being chased by the opposite side.
"In a place like the Takumi Village, there is actually such a strong person!"
Zabuza looked hatefully at Kujaku who was on guard in the distance, and said with gritted teeth.
Kaito at least has several long-range means, and Blue's small size and high speed also make the enemy dare not be careless.
And he himself was suppressed in all aspects. The Hidden Mist Jutsu itself was somewhat restrained by this kind of powerful Wind Style, the Water Dragon Jutsu consumed too much chakra in a waterless environment, and it was not necessarily better than Kaito's "Water Shuriken", and as for kenjutsu he was completely unable to get close so it was useless.
It's really frustrating!
"There's more than one person."
While Kaito was treating Zabuza's wounds, he curled his lips and motioned him to look to the other side.
From time to time, pillars of fire flew out from there into the sky, and it was obvious that Kakashi Hatake's opponent was not easy to deal with.
It was just that because they were wary of each other, both sides were intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance between the battlefields, so the specific situation of the battle over there could no longer be seen at this time.
"I didn't expect that the ninjas from the Takumi Village could be so strong with the help of ninja tools."
Hearing Zabuza's complaint, Kaito chuckled.
"Now you know how rubbish the Executioner's Blade is, right?"
Seeing that even in this situation, Kaito still had the mood to tease him, Zabuza suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"Then can the Long Blade: Nuibari be any better?"
When asked this by Zabuza, Kaito instead revealed a somewhat strange smile on his face.
"I thought of a way that I could give it a try."
