"Boil Release, Skilled Mist Technique!"
Without giving Shisui much time, Mei Terumi opened her mouth and released a mist directly towards him.
Initially, Shisui thought it was just an ordinary mist, but as soon as it touched him, he realized he was wrong.
Mei Terumi's Skilled Mist contained highly corrosive properties.
The moment Shisui came into contact with the mist, he felt a stinging sensation on his skin.
He didn't dare to be careless and quickly moved out of the attack range of the Skilled Mist.
Mei Terumi's strength had not yet reached Kage level, but if it had, Shisui would have suffered injuries from this encounter.
However, the ordeal wasn't over. As Shisui evaded Mei Terumi's attack, another Mist ninja appeared right in front of him.
The ninja swung a blade without any mercy. Facing the murderous intent of the ninja's strike, Shisui effortlessly defended himself.
In a one-on-one battle, none of the Mist ninjas here could match Shisui's skills.
The problem was that it wasn't a one-on-one battle! As Shisui blocked the attack of one Mist ninja, another one swiftly followed.
Faced with these successive attacks, even Shisui found himself in a difficult situation.
Moreover, just a while ago, due to the depletion of chakra from his Sage Mode, he had dispelled his last shadow clone used for absorbing natural energy.
In other words, he had less than five minutes to maintain Sage Mode. Feeling the insufficient chakra in his body, Shisui's expression turned serious.
The three tomoe Sharingan in his eyes slowly rotated, and Shisui abandoned the idea of reclaiming the Byakugan.
In their recent exchanges, he had tried multiple times to capture Ao. However, Mei Terumi and her team were not fools.
Knowing that Shisui was relentlessly pursuing Ao, it indicated that Ao possessed crucial information or something valuable.
Therefore, the Mist ninja guarded Ao closely. Even when attacking Shisui, three or four Mist ninjas surrounded Ao to protect him.
Faced with this situation, Shisui couldn't get close. If he could freely use the Flash Step, this wouldn't be a problem.
But obviously, Shisui hadn't reached that level yet. Now, he had less than five minutes to stay at his peak.
If he continued to waste time here, the inevitable outcome awaited him once he left Sage Mode.
So, Shisui was ready to retreat. Throwing several kunai, Shisui immediately activated the Flash Step, leaving the original location.
However, the direction he chose for retreat was towards Kirigakure. Shisui had a clear plan; facing multiple Mist ninjas, using a boat was out of the question.
With insufficient chakra and no way to sustain Sage Mode for an extended period, he couldn't risk the dangers at sea in his current state.
Therefore, he decided to infiltrate the Mist's territory, waiting for the right moment to escape.
Watching Shisui suddenly disappear before her eyes, Mei Terumi visibly hesitated.
In the recent battle, Shisui hadn't used the Flash Step in front of them, so their understanding of his abilities was limited.
Seeing Shisui vanish so abruptly left them momentarily stunned, but they quickly reacted.
Being alert to their surroundings, the Mist ninjas swiftly identified Shisui's whereabouts. Shisui had moved several kilometers away from them by now.
Although the Mist ninjas couldn't see him, Shisui's chakra fluctuations couldn't be concealed.
Shisui was well aware of this fact, so he didn't linger and quickly headed towards the shore at full speed.
This long-distance movement had already depleted a considerable amount of his remaining Sage Mode.
Mei Terumi, sensing Shisui's chakra fluctuations, narrowed her eyes slightly.
With a couple of quick jutsu, she destroyed the boats used by Ao and Shisui, then addressed the group,
"Let's head back to the village and report the information to the Mizukage." Mei Terumi wasted no time and swiftly moved towards Kirigakure.
As Shisui, who was in the process of retreating, reached the shore, his Sage Mode was exhausted, returning him to his normal state.
Feeling the sudden decline in power, Shisui cautiously concealed his presence. The Land of Water was vast, and Shisui wasn't concerned about the Mist ninja finding him.
What he needed to do now was find a secluded place, slowly replenish his chakra, and take advantage of the Mist's delayed response to escape.
Thanks to his Master, Asahi's good habits, Shisui always carried plenty of supplies, eliminating the need to take risks searching for resources.
As time passed slowly, Shisui's chakra gradually returned to its peak state.
The situation unfolded as he had anticipated; the Mist ninja had not yet come looking for him.
Finally, as the sun completely set, Shisui began his next move.
For a country surrounded by the sea on all sides like the Land of Water, boats were abundant.
Shisui easily found a boat and set sail under the cover of night. However, due to the ongoing war, Shisui unfortunately encountered Mist patrolling ninja.
Or rather, it was unfortunate for the patrolling ninja. Although their average strength was a Chunin, their strength was completely disregarded by Shisui.
With a movement of his Sharingan, the Mist ninja fell into a genjutsu. Then, with a swift strike from Shisui, they departed from this world without experiencing any pain.
Shortly after Shisui left, the body of the patrolling Mist ninja was discovered.
With each layer of reporting, numerous Mist ninja set out to sea, eager to capture the one who had trampled on their village's dignity.
Facing a large pursuit force from the Mist, Shisui was inevitably caught. After all, they had the assistance of marine summoning beast, and it was an unavoidable situation.
However, did that mean Shisui would be easily dealt with once caught? Faced with Mist ninjas approaching in pairs, Shisui found their behavior puzzling.
Were they unable to communicate with each other? Clearly, one or two coming at a time was enough to be a gift, yet they continued to come.
However, what Shisui didn't know was that the Mist ninjas didn't intend to come in groups.
The vastness of the ocean made it challenging for them to coordinate. Despite the significant number of Mist ninjas mobilized, they couldn't all act as a unified group.
