With a face full of determination, Yugimoto Kawahiko slowly raised the long sword in his hand. Even if Kato Keika blocked him, it would not be difficult for him to kill someone with his means.
However, in this case, Oshima Reina could also hold Kato Keika, who had no fighting power, hostage again in exchange for her own survival. But she did not do so; instead, she slowly closed her eyes.
As an elite ninja of the Hotspring Ninja Village, she should have the power to resist even if she faced the leader of the Hotspring Ninja Village. But she closed her eyes tightly and waited for death.
"My life is over," Oshima Reina thought, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and tears falling from the gaps in her eyes.
Swish! Yugimoto Kawahiko used the body flicker jutsu to go around her and swung the long sword in his hand.
Although Kato Keika realized all this, for her, there was no longer enough time to protect Oshima Reina behind her.
"You can't kill her, because her parents died at my hands!" Kato Keika shouted in a hurry.
Hearing this, Yugimoto Kawahiko suddenly stopped his actions. The sharp sword even cut off a few strands of Oshima Reina's hair. Oshima Reina also opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes were red, but it was not because of resentment, but endless sadness. If she could choose, she would rather believe that all this was false.
From childhood to adulthood, the elders she respected and loved the most, whom she regarded as a mother, turned out to be the murderer who killed her parents.
Even so, she still couldn't bear to take her life. At the moment when her life was at stake, she still involuntarily make movements to protect her.
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Yugimoto Kawahiko was shocked and still said in disbelief, "If you want to protect her, you don't have to find such a reason!"
Kato Keika said solemnly, "This is indeed true, but I can't tell you now." She looked around. There were many people here, and it was related to the secrets of the Hotspring Ninja Village.
Hearing her mother's tone, Yugimoto Kawahiko knew that she couldn't be lying. As the leader, he also realized the seriousness of the matter from Kato Keika's tone and immediately put away the long sword in his hand, his face still unable to calm down.
Oshima Reina stood there in a daze, and in front of them, the Hotspring Ninja were still harvesting the lives of the remaining Jashin believers. The blade passed, and a life was gone.
No matter what kind of wrong things these people did in their lives, everything in front of them showed how cheap and fragile life was.
In the dense forest, the battle continued. "Boom!" A loud noise like an explosion spread, and the dense forest within a radius of hundreds of meters changed its original appearance under the fight between Hatake Sakumo and C.
Amid the raging lightning, huge trees kept falling down. "Bang!" C was knocked away by Hatake Sakumo and hit a huge tree that was as thick as five people hugging.
The force directly broke it in the middle and collapsed. "Chichi!" A figure followed closely in the direction of the collapsed tree. The short sword in Sakumo's hand directly pierced the tree from the middle, and then went straight to C.
The lightning armor on C's body, which had amazing defensive power, began to spread with cracks. Although this armor was formed with chakra, it consumed a lot of chakra to repair, and it also had its endurance limit.
If it were an ordinary man, even if he had an offensive capability that could threaten his defense, he would not be able to keep up with his speed.
The nature of lightning chakra is the fastest among the five natures. Most of the ninjas in the Land of Lightning are good at speed, and C is the best among them. In the current ninja world, there are not many who can keep up with his speed, but this Hatake Sakumo, with just the body-flicker jutsu, is even faster than him.
"Aren't you afraid that the woman and the two boys will get into trouble?" C glanced at the crack on his left arm with the corner of his eye, and the lightning chakra lingered and repaired it instantly. He wanted to use this method to distract Sakumo, otherwise if he continued to fight like this, the result would be the same as last time.
However, Sakumo seemed indifferent to the words, and slashed down again with a sword, the speed even faster than C.
Kuriyama Shinzo fought fiercely with the three people, his clothes cut in many places, and blood flowed, but for him who had the ability of immortality, it was just pain.
He attacked the three people in front of him vigorously and gradually became familiar with the use of the Bloody March Scythe. "Ding Ding!" But his own strength was not as good as Suzuka's, and she was assisted by Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Yoruki.
He had more and more scars on his body but never hurt his opponent. After gaining immortality, he became a little arrogant. He only thought about how to meet the conditions for the ritual but ignored himself. No matter what kind of ability or ninjutsu, its power depends on the caster himself. For example, it is not easy for him to get the blood of any of the three people in front of him.
Without the blood of the opponent, Kuriyama Shinzo's secret jutsu cannot be used.
Minato had been observing the opponent's movements, which were completely different from Kuriyama Shinzo's previous fighting style and cautious style.
However, the attacks he launched were not fatal, and for a ninja, they could not affect much of the combat effectiveness. But since he did this, he must have his reasons.
"Don't be attacked by him." Minato immediately reminded Uchiha Yoruki and Suzuka beside him.
No matter what this guy is thinking now, as long as it doesn't go according to his wishes, nothing should happen.
Suzuka nodded, but Uchiha Yoruki's face changed when he heard it. "Are you commanding me?" His face looked a little unhappy.
"I don't mean it like that." Minato also ignored this guy's temper. He thought that after a few days of getting along, the relationship between the two had eased a lot.
But he was wrong. Uchiha Yoruki's pride had not reduced at all. He would not allow anyone, especially Minato, to tell him what to do. Swish!
This guy immediately changed his fighting style. In an instant, he threw dozens of shurikens in different directions to interfere with Kuriyama Shinzo's sight.
And he himself rushed directly to Kuriyama Shinzo's face. Uchiha Yoruki's action was unexpected by Minato and Suzuka. Kuriyama Shinzo, who was wary of this, changed color and showed a crazy smile!
