Chapter 37

"Be careful, this isn't just any ordinary kid!"

The smoke began to slowly dissipate, revealing Ruri's Sharingan and Aya's Byakugan.

As the only two bloodline clans in Konoha, the Uchiha and Hyuga have caused the ninjas of various villages to suffer greatly in the various ninja wars.

The Sharingan has earned the reputation of "one-on-one, must retreat."

When facing a Sharingan user alone, the chances of winning are almost zero.

After Ruri and Aya revealed their bloodlines, the surrounding ninjas were all on high alert.

The first ninja to attack Aya was just a chunin from the Sand Village, but he was easily dealt with by Aya, who possessed the Byakugan. Even if there was an element of overconfidence, it was impossible to make any moves under the watchful eyes of those eyes.

Not to mention, Ruri's Sharingan was also watching closely.

As for the unremarkable medical ninja Shiro, they had ignored him.

Just a medical ninja, once the enemy's main force was defeated, Shiro would be no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in their eyes.

"Since that's the case, we just need to separate the three of them!"

A ninja wearing a Sand Village headband had a solemn expression, gathering a large amount of visible chakra in his hands, and then slammed them on the ground.

"Earth Release: Piercing Earth Palm!"

Boom!

Shiro and the others immediately changed their expressions. The ground began to crack like an earthquake, and the area was vast. They didn't have time to think of a countermeasure as the surrounding soil and rocks continuously caved in and cracked. The three of them had to attach chakra to their feet to avoid being thrown off by the massive shockwaves.

Seeing Shiro and the others become disarrayed due to the ground cracking, the remaining ninjas jumped up again, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"This guy..."

Ruri's gaze was fixed on the Sand Village ninja who used the Earth Release. The extremely proficient Earth Release jutsu, its immense power, and the perfect ability to divide the battlefield made him more like a Rock Village ninja than a Sand Village ninja.

The crimson two-tomoe Sharingan began to spin. When the enemy made a move, Ruri did not retreat or dodge but chose to face him head-on.

"With the Sharingan, just avoid the eyes..."

The Sand Village ninja who engaged Ruri, let's tentatively call him a Sand Village ninja because he indeed wore a Sand Village headband, was very confident.

Although Ruri had doubts about the identity of this Sand Village team.

Of course, the Sand Village team wasn't necessarily wrong, but it definitely included ninjas of unknown identity.

This Sand Village ninja was very confident.

When participating in this ninja war, the experienced ninjas in the village had warned them that if they encountered an Uchiha ninja with the Sharingan, they needed to avoid direct eye contact, or they would be defeated by genjutsu.

Even if avoiding the eyes made it easier for the enemy to attack, as a special jounin, he only needed to intercept the opponent for a moment, allowing the others to come and surround him, ensuring victory.

As he thought this, he used his kunai to block Ruri's kunai.

However, the fierce force surging into his arm made his face turn pale instantly.

He even heard the sound of his bones cracking.

His body stiffened for a moment, and he instinctively raised his head, meeting a pair of crimson eyes.

In an instant, his consciousness became hazy, and his gaze became vacant.

Ruri used her kunai to slice his neck, and as the blood spurted out, she disappeared from the spot with a Body Flicker Technique, moving on to the next target with fluid movements.

Shiro, who was watching Ruri and Aya's prowess from the back, did not show any surprise.

Although the enemy's strength was very formidable, with two bloodline users, especially the famous Sharingan and Byakugan, they wouldn't suffer a defeat in the short term.

After all, the strongest ninjas in this team were surrounding and restraining Shuho, or rather, restraining him.

The enemy's strategy was probably to mainly restrain Shuho, quickly defeat Shiro and the others, and then surround and kill Shuho, the renowned Konoha White Fang.

This would deal a significant blow to Konoha's morale.

However, they underestimated Shuho's strength, and more seriously, they did not anticipate the powerful combat abilities of Ruri and Aya.

Aya, aside from being a bit short of jounin level, Ruri's overall abilities were completely at the jounin level.

With the intimidation of the Sharingan, it would take two jounins to suppress her.

While Shiro was hiding behind a large tree, thinking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and something was about to break through.

"Earth Release: Decapitation from the Heart—"

Pfft!

He interrupted the enemy's jutsu release.

The kunai pierced into the hard soil.

Shiro remained in a crouching position, his gaze calm.

"Don't suddenly come out and scare me."

The ninja hidden in the soil had lost all life.

He smoothly pulled out the kunai, stirred the soil, and plugged the hole with the kunai, mixed with blood, and slowly smoothed out the cracks, as if nothing had happened.

Then, Shiro continued to take out smoke bombs from his ninja tool bag.

He threw one towards Aya.

The smoke bomb exploded, producing a large amount of white smoke that enveloped the area. The enemies, seeing themselves in a smoky environment, tried to retreat.

Another smoke bomb was thrown, expanding the smoke area.

For Aya, this was an excellent battlefield.

The enemies could use Earth Release to divide the battlefield, but Shiro could also use smoke bombs to create a specialized battlefield for Byakugan combat.

Moreover, Ruri was also affected by the smoke.

However, Ruri, who often practiced with Shiro with her eyes closed, only lost the hypnotic power of the Sharingan, and her movements were not hindered. She just needed to pretend she was fighting with her eyes closed, finding the rhythm of the games they used to play.

This made the Sand Village ninjas, who were weak and hiding in the back, constantly throwing smoke bombs, extremely frustrated.

Shiro, seeing the significant effect of the small smoke bombs, was deep in thought.

It seemed he needed to create special smoke bombs that would last longer and cover a larger area. In battle, he would only be responsible for medical support and throwing smoke bombs.

If this tactic worked, it would be a unique new tactic developed by their Shuho team.

"Damn it! Take care of that kid throwing smoke bombs first!"

Unable to tolerate the blind environment, a Sand Village jounin angrily shouted, almost spitting blood.

They were not accustomed to fighting in the smoke, and fighting with their eyes closed was like courting death.

But with their eyes open, the visible range was very small, while the enemies knew their every move.

This fighting style was extremely frustrating.

Despite having a stronger formation, they could quickly form an absolute pressure, but after Shiro occasionally threw a smoke bomb, the battle situation was reversed.

To deal with Shiro, they had to go through Ruri and Aya.

They were also puzzled; wasn't there a ninja skilled in Earth Release infiltration who went over? Why hasn't he acted yet?

To deal with a medical ninja with only a genin-level strength, did it really take that long?
