Sakada flew into the air, his body colliding with a large tree.
Icy blood splattered on Sakada face, and the surroundings became quiet.
It was as if he was the only person in the world.
The surroundings became deathly silent, and the corpses of his three subordinates lay before him.
His heart also began to ache.
"Genjutsu?"
Sakada immediately disrupted his chakra flow.
Everything before his eyes disappeared, and only a few seconds had passed.
The scene returned to a few seconds before.
In fact, no one else had even noticed that he was caught in a genjutsu.
Sakada carefully recalled the events, realizing he had indeed heard a snap of fingers, indicating an auditory genjutsu.
"Kid, not bad genjutsu. To be able to catch me in a genjutsu, you have enough to be proud of," Sakada said, revealing an admiring gaze.
"Originally, I wanted to say, is the Hidden Leaf Village out of people? To actually send out you four little brats."
"But now it seems, your strength is quite good, enough to qualify to die by my hands." Sakada retracted the mocking expression that had been on his face.
Tatsumi said nothing.
There was nothing wrong with the genjutsu being broken.
He was just testing the waters anyway.
As expected, none of those who become Jonin are simple fellows.
Tatsumi stared at Sakada, and then said, "Leave Sakada to me. Kushina, Mikoto, and Nawaki, you three deal with the remaining three Genin. You can handle that, right?"
The three of them nodded, each locking onto one of the Genin.
Tatsumi tilted his head, gesturing towards Sakada.
Sakada also intended to leave.
The opponent's genjutsu was too terrifying. He could resist it, but his subordinates could not.
When gods fight, it will always affect the chickens pecking at each other, so it's better to leave.
Tatsumi and Sakada flashed away, running deeper into the forest.
While running, Sakada pulled out a short sword from his back.
The moment he pulled out the short sword, Sakada's entire aura began to change.
The sharp killing intent of the sword seemed capable of tearing someone's body apart in an instant. Sakada charged forward.
Tatsumi did not expect that Sakada, who looked refined and gentle with his glasses, would have such a wild fighting style.
This is really exciting!
Clang clang!
The two bodies collided with each other.
Tatsumi's kunai blocked Sakada's sword.
However, Sakada's sword momentum did not weaken in the slightest. The moment the kunai blocked the short sword, it immediately cracked open a large gash.
What a sharp sword!
Sakada lowered the tip of his sword, slashing towards the lower part of Tatsumi's body.
His whole body also sank along the blade, kicking towards Tatsumi.
Tatsumi suddenly raised upwards. With a clang, the sword and kunai collided several times.
And then…
The entire kunai completely shattered.
Tatsumi kicked towards Sakada's chest.
His empty left hand instantly formed a hand seal with one hand, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Looking at the huge fireball rushing towards him, Sakada slashed at the fireball with his sword, splitting it in half.
Whoosh!
However, hidden behind the split Great Fireball were several shuriken.
Concealed by the fireball, they intersected and collided, then transformed into dazzling angles, flying towards Sakada.
Sakada slightly averted his gaze. Such a shuriken throwing technique…
This black-haired boy is a member of the Uchiha clan.
Bang! The kunai pierced into the wooden log.
Sakada's figure disappeared into the air.
The moment Sakada disappeared, Tatsumi did not hesitate in the slightest.
His body began to move at high speed.
Body Flicker Technique!
Then a black flash passed.
Tatsumi's body suddenly appeared on top of a large tree.
Without the slightest hesitation, the kunai in his hand directly smeared towards Sakada's head.
Sakada leaned back, dodging this fatal blow. His reaction speed was not weak.
However, the kunai still brushed past his hair.
A strand of black hair fluttered in the air, carried by the air current.
Sakada slashed at Tatsumi three times with the sword in his hand, but all were blocked by the kunai.
Then the sword swept forcefully, the blade solidly hitting Tatsumi.
Tatsumi was still in place,
But it seemed as if the blade had hit the air.
An afterimage!?
Tatsumi kicked out, and Sakada's body flew off the tree.
Sakada's sword stuck into a tree, stopping his momentum.
The two of them stared at each other like that.
"Are you a sensory ninja?" Sakada pushed up his glasses.
Just now he used the Body Replacement Technique, and Tatsumi instantly noticed his location.
Only sensory ninjas can do this, right?
Sakada was trying to get information from the other party.
Tatsumi certainly wouldn't tell the other party that he had Daibai on him.
As a summoning contract, Daibai could use infrared to sense the other party's location and tell Tatsumi.
Ninjas are like this, learning about each other in battle.
Tatsumi was happy to drag it out like this with the other party.
He couldn't take down the other party easily. Every Jonin has their own trump cards.
His strongest taijutsu could only gain a slight advantage in the previous probing.
The air suddenly became quiet for several seconds. Just as Tatsumi thought the two sides would just stand still, Sakada seemed to remember something.
"That Body Flicker Technique just now, are you Uchiha Kagami's son!?" Sakada's voice carried a few traces of surprise, and at the same time was filled with excitement.
"Huh?" Tatsumi was stunned.
Is my cheap old man's reputation so loud? I'm already so low-key, and I can still be recognized.
"That's right, with this kind of Body Flicker Technique, you must be Uchiha Kagami's son." Sakada suddenly became a little neurotic.
Could it be that this person is a fan of my father, Uchiha Kagami?
Tatsumi's thoughts were instantly diverted.
He shook the dust off his clothes.
That's right, now that you've discovered it, I, Meiren, will not speak secretly—
Just as Tatsumi was about to admit it, Sakada, through his black-rimmed glasses, stared at Tatsumi.
"My teacher died in the last Shinobi World War at the hands of Uchiha Kagami! I heard that he died in a mission, I didn't expect he would have a son." Sakada suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a bit terrifying.
"...."
Alright, an enemy!
How many people did my old man kill?
He didn't leave me any property, but he left me a bunch of enemies.
After recognizing Tatsumi, Sakada's right-hand sword directly slashed over, smashing towards Tatsumi.
His sword speed was also ridiculously fast, exceeding the scope of ordinary ninja reflexes.
It seems he wasn't going all out just now!
Facing this aggressive sword, Tatsumi's finger snap came again, and the genjutsu immediately invaded Sakada's brain.
Although Tatsumi's finger snap couldn't make half of the ninja world die, it was enough to stop the other party's movements.
Tatsumi's kunai directly attacked Sakada's chest.
However, this time Sakada woke up much faster than before.
Just as the kunai was about to pierce Sakada's chest, Sakada had already woken up.
At this moment, the short sword in his hand blocked his chest, and the kunai could no longer move forward.
Sakada stretched out his left hand, and a kunai appeared in his hand at some point.
The kunai scratched Tatsumi's arm.
Tatsumi felt pain.
Sakada revealed a surprised look.
Then, Tatsumi's fist slammed into Sakada's chest.
The feeling coming from Sakada's body didn't feel like a fist at all, more like a heavy hammer.
That strange force actually made him retreat, his body flying out twenty meters like a kite with a broken string.
Unable to catch his breath, Sakada spat out a large mouthful of blood.
What Tatsumi was waiting for was this moment. He led the other party over because there was a trap here.
Watching Sakada's body fall to the ground, Tatsumi immediately formed a hand seal.
Then, the sound of the explosive tag tearing came.
Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out in front of Tatsumi.
The heatwave generated by the explosion made Tatsumi's clothes rustle.
