Chapter 277 The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, 3rd Battle Against Madara in Action
"Kai, Genma, have you heard the rumors about Kakashi's team lately?" In the Third Shinobi World War, the quiet and peaceful frontline battlefield boy Ebisu pushed up his sunglasses and spoke softly.
"Are you referring to the rumors that they were called the 'Little Three Ninjas' and completed several A-rank missions in a row?" Genma frowned slightly, a toothpick in his mouth, then shook his head with a wry smile. "That's undeniable; it's something that Mr. Choza himself admitted."
"I've heard that many Jonin, including the Hokage, speak highly of them, and they may very well become the new Legendary Sannin!"
Compared to those three guys, we from the same period are like a joke. Sometimes, we have to admit that geniuses exist...
"A genius?" Might Guy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in resentment, as if the opponent he had been chasing all along was appearing before his eyes.
Damn it, Kakashi and the others have already completed a series of highly difficult A-rank missions. But they're still stuck on C-rank battlefield patrols. That's the difference...
"Speaking of which, Obito is really lucky! Following Kakashi and the others not only allows him to make a name for himself, but also enables him to complete those thrilling and exciting missions and gain recognition from above."
"Heh, Obito wasn't just lucky. He's from the Uchiha clan, and don't forget he's already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan! He was promoted and appointed a special Jonin by the Third Hokage." Genma smiled wryly again, his perception of the former loser Obito had long since changed.
"Tch... Last time during the Chunin Exams, Obito was defeated by Guy, but now he's become a special Jonin of Konoha." Ebisu said sourly, his words filled with jealousy and resentment.
“Yeah! Kakashi and his team are already an elite squad with two Jonin and one Special Jonin. And us, we're still the lowest-ranking Genin squad, only able to do these low-level patrol missions.” Might Guy couldn't help but sigh, feeling the huge gap between his classmates most directly.
This is the harsh reality between geniuses and ordinary people!
"Gah gah gah... Looks like you guys are feeling down, you brats from Konoha." Just then, a hoarse groan suddenly broke the silence, interrupting the three of them.
Instinctively, the three of them turned their heads at the same time, their pupils shrinking: "The Hidden Mist Ninja!!"
"Run!" Without hesitation, Genma shouted and unleashed chakra to retreat at full speed.
Kai and Ebisu were also sweating profusely and feeling a chill down their spines. They immediately unleashed their full power to catch up quickly.
They couldn't even defeat one Jonin, let alone at least five Kirigakure Jonin.
"Chase them! We can't let them escape and expose our whereabouts!" The leader sneered and snorted, and the six black shadows behind him darted away in a flash to encircle and intercept them.
In less than five minutes, faced with overwhelming power, Genma and his two companions were trapped in a corner, trembling like lambs to the slaughter...
"I never expected it to be them, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! We're really doomed now!" Looking at the seven Mist Ninja with different appearances and wielding ninja swords, Ebisu's teeth chattered and his eyes showed despair.
"The Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist? Is this the end for us?!" Genma frowned, clenched his teeth, and tensed his limbs.
This situation was so dire that even their teacher, Choza, would be powerless to handle it, let alone the three mere genin present.
"Damn it, we can't escape!" Might Guy gritted his teeth at the same time. The despair of the three of them made the seven people on the other side even more rampant.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to be so famous? Although they are just three brats from Konoha, they have finally become well-known!" Kushimaru Kurishari said ferociously, his eyes flashing with cold light as if he were looking at three dead men.
“It just so happens that my executioner’s sword has a chipped edge. I’ll use the blood of these three guys to restore it.” Pipa Juzo swung his sword, his bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Genma and the other two like demons from hell.
These words sent another chill down the spines of the three tense individuals, causing them to break out in a cold sweat and feel numbness in their hands and feet...
"Stop talking nonsense, kill them and keep pushing. Our mission is to assassinate the three Konoha ninja who caused damage to the village." Suigetsu Hozuki urged with a mocking smile, his arms crossed, clearly not intending to make a move.
Almost the instant his words fell, Kizuki Hibiki and Kushimaru Kurishari simultaneously swung their swords and lunged at Genma and his two companions...
"Let's give it our all!!"
Seeing the ferocious face so close to them, Genma and the other two turned pale, but their eyes were filled with determination. Although they couldn't beat the opponent, they had to at least show their strength, even if it was just to cause a little damage to the enemy!
In the blink of an eye, just as the three were about to engage in a deadly battle, two afterimages, one blue and one black, appeared in an instant.
"Rasengan..."
"Chidori..."
Before the horrified eyes of Juzo Biwa and Kushimaru Kurihara, two high-level ninjutsu blasts, visible to the naked eye, hurtled toward them.
At the critical moment, Juzo Biwa immediately parried the blue ball in front of him with his sword, only to feel a heavy, spiraling blow that pulled his sword away...
Taking advantage of the situation, Pipa Juzo, seeing that things were not going well, immediately withdrew and retreated to create distance.
Kushimaru Kurihara next to him was not so lucky. Despite his hasty attack with his long sword, he was still pierced through the abdomen by the explosive lightning and collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood.
"Reinforcements? Let's go..." Upon seeing this, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon immediately reacted and shouted, and the four people behind him immediately brandished their broadswords and were about to attack.
But at that very moment, "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique..."
Another clear, youthful voice rang out, and in the blink of an eye, a roaring fire dragon ten meters in diameter burst forth from the misty forest, lunging towards the seven people!
"Himawari - Liberation..."
In a flash, Hozuki Senjin, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, stepped forward and swung his greatsword. A ball of chakra exploded and tore apart the fire dragon, blocking the attack.
"Kakashi, Rin, Obito, what are you guys doing here?" Just as Kirigakure dispersed the fire dragon, the seven of them heard Might Guy's joyful shouts at the same time.
"Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha. Are they the legendary Sannin of Konoha? I didn't expect to run into our target so soon!" Suigetsu Hozuki scanned the opposing reinforcements with a serious expression and a grim face.
These three brats lived up to their reputation, injuring Kushimaru in a single exchange. They were indeed the assassination targets personally designated by the Mizukage.
At the same time, two white heads emerged from a tree trunk a hundred meters away and smiled at each other.
"Finally, we've gathered them all here. I hope Madara's plan goes smoothly. Kakashi or Rin, one of them has to die this time so Obito can feel the pain..."
"That's right. In order to awaken Obito's eyes, Madara mobilized all seven of Kirigakure's swords this time. Even though Kakashi's sneak attack severely injured Kushimaru, Rin and Kakashi couldn't have escaped unscathed in a six-on-three situation."
"There won't be any surprises. Even if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen fail, there are still three Anbu teams to follow up. Obito won't be able to escape this time!"
"Hmm. But speaking of which, did you manage to lure that middle-aged man with the thick eyebrows towards the ANBU squad? He almost barged in and disrupted our plans."
"What problem could there be? That mere Konoha genin who's been around for ages, he's probably already dead by now!"
"Is that so? What a pitiful fellow..."
