ALL NOVEL Chapter 61: Kamui!
"You're too naïve."
Gen gripped his Tenkū Sword tightly and suddenly appeared on the tree branch where his opponents stood, slashing down.
Clang!
The sound of swords clashing rang out as Yemu Jonin swiftly raised his longsword, deflecting the strike. Yemu Kichikawa reacted almost instantly, launching a punch at Gen's chest. Unfortunately for him, it missed completely.
With a flash of light, Gen reappeared on the branch he had stood on moments before, as if he had never moved at all.
"How is this possible? The kunai didn't even come near us. How did you suddenly appear right beside us?" shouted Hyūga Jonin in disbelief.
"Fool. The tree branch you're standing on—I stepped on it earlier. Do you think I was running in circles just for fun? Every part of this area has been marked with my kunai. This entire place is my domain now. You're just prey trapped in my web, utterly without hope," Gen said, his tone calm and filled with absolute confidence.
"Ha... hahaha..."
Hyūga Jonin suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his stomach as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You're killing me here. A brat like you, talking such big game! It's hilarious! Even if you're the most talented Uchiha to ever live, you're still just a little kid. Do you think we're just fish on a chopping board, ready for slaughter? We're all Jonin! Do you think we'll just roll over and die for you?"
With a roar, his last words rang out as he charged toward Gen, his Byakugan fully activated and locked onto him.
Boom!
The tree branch shattered under Hyūga Jonin's punch, but Gen's figure had already disappeared.
"Where is he?" The Byakugan scanned the surroundings, leaving no blind spots.
"Fire Style: Triple Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"
From a tall tree in the distance, Gen's voice rang out. Three roaring fire dragons surged forward, heading straight for the three Jonin.
"A B-Rank jutsu? You think that can stop us?" Hyūga Jonin sneered as he formed a seal, gathering chakra in his palms.
"Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm!"
The Yemu brothers also quickly formed seals.
"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"
"Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet!"
Boom!
The roaring flames were smashed apart in a violent explosion.
"Rasengan."
Suddenly, three voices sounded simultaneously. To everyone's shock, three Gen figures appeared beside the Jonin, each holding a spinning chakra sphere in their hands, aiming straight for them.
The experienced Jonin reacted instantly, striking at the figures with deadly precision.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All three Gen figures turned into white smoke upon impact.
"It's Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Hyūga Jonin shouted, his Byakugan scanning the area again. He quickly located Gen on a tree branch far away.
"We'll strike him continuously, not giving him a chance to counterattack. Once I get close enough to seal his chakra points, he'll be at our mercy," Hyūga Jonin declared.
The Yemu brothers exchanged glances and nodded. They had no choice but to follow Hyūga Jonin's lead. By siding with the Hyūga clan, they had burned their bridges with the Uchiha. If the Uchiha retaliated, they could only flee to another nation or seek refuge with the Senju clan, who were rumored to be more tolerant of smaller ninja clans.
Using Wind Style for a speed boost, Yemu Kichikawa dashed toward Gen with astonishing velocity. His movements rivaled the Body Flicker Technique, his blade gleaming coldly as he slashed at Gen.
Gen, wielding the Tenkū Sword, engaged him briefly in taijutsu before using Flying Raijin to teleport elsewhere.
"Three o'clock, fifty meters!" Hyūga Jonin shouted, his Byakugan locked onto Gen's new position.
Yemu Jonin immediately used Wind Style to enhance his speed, closing in almost instantly. Gen blocked his attack but teleported again.
"Five o'clock, eighty meters!" Hyūga Jonin yelled again.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
With a loud crash, the tree Gen had just been standing on was obliterated.
Hyūga Jonin continued leaping through the trees, relentlessly pursuing Gen. His Byakugan scanned every corner, and the Yemu brothers charged toward Gen's location the moment he reappeared.
In the forest, streaks of light flashed continuously, accompanied by the sounds of clashing blades and rapid movement.
"This coordination... not bad," Gen muttered as he teleported away from another attack. With each move, he appeared beside an opponent, slashing at them before vanishing again.
To an outsider, it seemed like Gen was being driven into a corner by their teamwork, but in reality, he had a plan.
While he could use Flying Raijin and Rasengan to take out a single Jonin relatively easily, their coordination made them a greater challenge. Three Jonin fighting together were far more dangerous than their individual strengths combined. Even so, Gen remained confident, as he had marked the entire area with his Flying Raijin seals.
Still, time was a factor. He knew Madara was being pursued by the Hyūga clan's elite Jonin, and given Madara's current strength, he wouldn't last long if caught. Gen could teleport to Madara's location at any moment, but the thought of letting these potential points escape made him hesitate.
He only had one technique capable of taking out all three Jonin at once. Everything he was doing now was preparation for that move. His fingers brushed over his left eye as he formulated his strategy.
The battle in the forest continued, light flashing as the three Jonin pressed their relentless pursuit.
"It's almost time. All I need now is to gather them in one place," Gen thought.
Suddenly, Gen stopped moving, standing still on a branch. His Sharingan spun as he watched the three Jonin rapidly approach.
Squelch!
Two blades pierced his chest, and a powerful Eight Trigrams Palm Strike struck his torso, wreaking havoc on his internal organs.
"Now!"
Gen's Sharingan spun wildly.
Caw! Caw! Caw!
With the cries of crows, Gen's body disintegrated into a flock of black birds, flying away. His figure reappeared on a distant branch, unscathed.
The three Jonin, shocked, tried to move but found themselves immobilized. Around them, countless chakra threads glimmered in the moonlight, tightly binding them.
From afar, Gen pulled on the threads with both hands, tightening the trap.
