"Bait?"
After a breakthrough in a life-and-death moment, Yasuke's perception had inexplicably enhanced significantly, naturally alerting him to the presence of an enemy ninja appearing suddenly behind him.
But when the enemy appeared, what truly shocked Yasuke, causing his pupils to contract slightly, wasn't the fact that the enemy could infiltrate the Land of Fire, but rather what the enemy said.
Because, when the enemy mentioned Yasuke's role as "bait," Yasuke almost believed it!
With Kakashi's indifferent personality and strict adherence to Anbu rules, Yasuke's heart chilled almost instantly at the enemy's words.
Instinctively, Yasuke felt a flash of anger towards Kakashi, thinking, "Kakashi, no matter how bad our relationship is, you wouldn't use me as bait, would you?"
However, that thought of resentment only lasted a moment.
Quickly calming down, Yasuke realized it was likely a ploy to shake his resolve. So, regaining his composure, Yasuke coldly laughed and said, "You need to probe with words when facing a kid? Seems like you're not very confident! Well, anyone would feel the same facing a Konoha ninja!"
"Next"
"I'll show you true ruthlessness!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
As Yasuke finished speaking, several sharp sounds rang out, followed by shuriken rapidly flying towards the enemy ninja.
The enemy ninja clearly did not expect such tactical finesse from a Konoha kid.
So, when the shuriken, curving through the air, were about to hit the enemy ninja, under Yasuke's exceptional projectile skills, the enemy ninja had no choice but to hurriedly block with his kunai. But before the enemy ninja could fully deal with Yasuke's shuriken, Yasuke's slender figure appeared right in front of the enemy ninja!
"So, you're a ninja from the Mist Village?"
"Judging by your chakra level, you seem to be a Chunin."
"Watch my Konoha Whirlwind!"
"Boom!"
With the sound of clashing metal, as the shuriken fell, Yasuke leaped into the air and delivered a Konoha Whirlwind kick to the enemy Chunin's head.
However, as Yasuke calculated in his mind, believing this Konoha Whirlwind would surely force the opponent back, allowing him to use Shadow Imitation Technique to restrain them, he never expected that the Mist Chunin would not dodge at all!
In his first life-and-death combat with a ninja from another village, the Mist Chunin used action to show Yasuke the real difference between training and actual combat!
"Boom!"
Without any weights on, Yasuke's Konoha Whirlwind could break even a small tree.
But even knowing that taking Yasuke's Konoha Whirlwind head-on would at least cause a concussion, in real combat, the Mist Chunin already found himself at a disadvantage. So, using a non-lethal injury to kill the enemy seemed worth it to the Mist Chunin.
Thus, as Yasuke planned his next steps, the Mist Chunin's life-risking move shattered all of Yasuke's strategies!
He really used his head to withstand Yasuke's Konoha Whirlwind!
When Yasuke's ankle kicked the Mist Chunin's head, a faint "crack" sound could be heard, indicating slight skull fractures!
But what about a fractured skull?
The Mist Chunin wasn't dead!
Under the sunset, Yasuke watched the Mist Chunin, covered in blood, grinning ferociously, and paused for a moment.
Yasuke's momentary daze was understandable.
In training, rarely would someone risk such severe injury for a chance to counterattack!
But for the Mist Chunin, to kill Yasuke quickly, he didn't mind the serious head injury.
Especially noticing Yasuke's brief pause, the Mist Chunin's eyes filled with contempt, a sinister smile forming on his lips, as he suddenly exploded with chakra!
In the next moment, with a "boom"!
The Mist Chunin lunged forward, grabbing Yasuke by the throat, slamming him to the ground.
As Yasuke hit the ground in pain, the Mist Chunin not only held a sharp kunai to Yasuke's neck but, with madness in his eyes, he laughed wildly as he was about to end Yasuke's life, saying, "Haha! You're really just an inexperienced kid. This must be your first mission, right?"
"So young and already an Anbu, you must be a genius from Konoha?"
"Too bad, geniuses like you often fall on their first mission!"
"But don't worry, I'll keep your head well! When I fight your clan elders, your head will have a special effect!"
Saying this, the madness in the Mist Chunin's eyes turned into intense killing intent!
"Genius kid, die for me!"
"Maybe it's you who will die!"
"Boom!"
Just as the Mist Chunin confidently thought he had Yasuke, Yasuke, lying on the ground, suddenly smirked, causing the experienced Mist Chunin to hesitate.
That brief hesitation was all Yasuke needed, with a sudden "whoosh"!
Yasuke's shadow rose, using Shadow Imitation Technique to restrain the Mist Chunin!
Clearly, Yasuke had used Shadow Clone Technique beforehand, preparing for emergencies.
Fortunately, Yasuke had used Shadow Clone Technique in advance; otherwise, he might have been the one to die in this battle.
If the Mist Chunin had noticed Yasuke's hand seals earlier, Yasuke might have been killed.
If the Mist Chunin had acted faster, Yasuke might not have survived!
But in this world, there are no ifs, no regrets!
So, when Yasuke's shadow clone used Shadow Imitation Technique to bind the Mist Chunin, Yasuke sprang up, kunai in hand, stabbing the Mist Chunin's heart. To ensure the Mist Chunin wouldn't retaliate, Yasuke delivered another blow after breaking the Mist Chunin's heart!
With a swift move, "shing"!
The Mist Chunin's head slowly fell into Yasuke's hand!
"Thank you for the lesson!"
"The first Mist ninja to die by my hand!"
