The Shadow of Konoha

The endless night was like a black hole, which immediately attracted Hanyu. It was also like layers of tides, which put pressure on him from all directions and suffocated him.

Standing alone at the front of the team, what Hanyu felt was not loneliness, but tension.

But even though he was nervous at this moment, it did not mean that he lost his calm and composure. On the contrary, his next actions would not be at all panicky... If nervousness leads to panic, then there is no doubt that panic will bring death.

What Hanyu remembered firmly and was able to grasp was the technique that Sansho had just taught him. At this time, apart from believing in the knowledge that Sansho taught him, he had no other choice but to trust.

When the enemy in the night took a step forward, Hanyu's hands began to move and he formed the first seal.

Although his movements were a bit clumsy and awkward, he was neither hurried nor slow, making one seal and then the next.

Normally, they should first determine whether the intruder is an enemy before deciding whether to take action. However, Hanyu would never be so calm. Judging the identity of the intruder is the job of the people behind him. As long as they don't stop, he will not give up the opportunity to take the initiative.

The actions of the person who came later proved that his approach was correct, because the other party did not stop at all, nor did he explain anything. Instead, he rushed towards this area with great swiftness.

At this time, behind Hanyu who didn't notice, Sansho's eyes met slightly with Uchiha Kagami and Mitokado Homura. Sanxiao nodded imperceptibly, and the latter two understood what to do next.

Uchiha Kagami's right hand reached for the ninja tool bag on his waist, and he watched the movements of Hanyu and the enemy carefully, ready to take action at any time to save the young man.

But for Hanyu, is it possible for him to get help in such a test? He has no way of knowing for sure, so he can only choose to rely on himself.

When the enemy started to move, Hanyu's seal was already halfway formed, and when the enemy approached about 30 meters, his seal was already completed. At this time, Hanyu realized the problem... Such a distance is likely to be beyond the optimal killing range of ninjutsu. No matter what kind of ninjutsu he is about to use, it is difficult to achieve a killing effect at such a long distance.

It turned out that his worries were quite correct, but somewhat unnecessary, because the ninjutsu was not successfully released at all.

The operation failed?

Come again!

Hanyu gritted his teeth and tried to form the seal again, but he still failed.

At this time, the leading enemy was only ten meters away from him.

The sound of the enemy's footsteps was like dense drum beats, the rhythm became increasingly compact, and an indescribable murderous intent surged in. In the blink of an eye, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes appeared just a stone's throw away from Hanyu.

The opponent handed a kunai to Hanyu with one hand. The action was not deliberate, but it left Hanyu with no way to dodge or avoid it... With just one glance, anyone could tell that Hanyu was a ninja who was not even an genin-level ninja. He could be killed with just one move. Therefore, the enemy did not want to stop here. He needed to rush into the Konoha ninja team and kill the most valuable target - the woman they were protecting at the back.

When the chill from the kunai spike touched the skin on his neck, Hanyu felt as if the time around him had slowed down. This feeling was somewhat familiar to him, as if all humans would have similar feelings .

Or you could call it a repetition of memories. Countless scenes and memories flashed through Hanyu's mind. The irony was that what he recalled were never happy times. After sporadic fragments flashed by, what was left in his mind was the last time he encountered a similar situation.

That was just a few days ago, and the person who attacked him was the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

As his memories came here, the feeling in his injured shoulder at that time was also awakened, and the feeling of the torrent of chakra passing through his body was infinitely magnified in this revolving lantern of time lag.

"So, this is water-based ninjutsu?" Only then did he truly understand the ninjutsu that Sansho had just taught him, and he also understood the prerequisite for the successful performance of the technique... a large amount of water-attribute chakra. This advanced ninjutsu would consume a large amount of chakra.

Hanyu has personally experienced what the strongest water-attribute chakra is like, so can he "imitate" it?

Hanyu was only one step away from death at this time, but his somewhat confused eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, violent chakra burst out from under his feet, and then his body moved one inch to the right from its original position.

The sharp kunai left a long bloody mark on his cheek.

At this time, Hanyu did not retreat but advanced. He took a step forward with his right foot and rushed into the enemy's arms. His thin shoulder slammed into the opponent's face.

This action was completely unexpected for the enemy. Caught off guard, he staggered back a step. At the same time, the third seal in Hanyu's hand was finally completed.

Fine water vapor condensed around him and turned into a surging torrent in the blink of an eye. It was as powerful as an avalanche and as shaped as a tornado, and it was like a thick lance, hitting the enemy directly.

It turned out to be Water Dragon Bullet... After this technique was used, there was no need for anyone else to explain it, as Hanyu himself knew its name.

The sudden torrent of energy instantly knocked the enemy away, and then slammed him to the ground more than ten meters away... Although he didn't die, he would definitely break five or six ribs. Such a direct hit was enough to make a mature ninja lose his combat capability for a considerable period of time.

Hanyu escaped from a near-miss and couldn't help but feel excited. He felt the joy of unleashing ninjutsu for the first time.

Then...his feet slipped and he fell to the ground. To be more precise, he fell into the shallow water created by the water escape technique.

What happened? Didn't we win?

The feeling of weakness in his body quickly made Hanyu realize that the ninjutsu just now had drained all the chakra from his body.

Although one enemy was knocked down, the second, third and fourth enemies rushed towards the collapsed Hanyu on the waves. At this time, he was no longer able to resist.

But then, a short figure flew quickly over Hanyu's head and rushed straight towards the enemies who were much taller than him.

From the opponent's figure, Hanyu judged that the person rushing out was the youngest child in the team. Given his age, how much strength does he have? Wouldn't it be a waste to rush into the enemy so blindly?

Just as Hanyu was wondering, the silver light in the sky had already covered the enemy's head, and then a large amount of blood gushed out and dyed the ground red...

That is the blood of the enemy.
