Chapter 24 The Intelligence War Between Ninjas

"His bones are harder than steel and can deform at will. He is powerful in every aspect, including strength, speed, defense, and technique, and has almost no weaknesses in physical combat."

"The opponent has a kind of perception that doesn't rely on sight, making it difficult to launch a sneak attack. They also have high resistance to illusions; my Mirage Technique only lasted for less than a second, and other illusions probably won't work either."

Bloodhound and Mist Raven quickly exchanged information.

The more they talked, the more alarmed they became.

They possess immense strength, a body of steel, and a wide variety of weapons, along with unique sensory abilities and resistance to illusions.

Bloodhound, skilled in swordsmanship, had his weapon shattered in a single exchange, and his arm was almost crippled. Had it not been for Mist Raven's timely intervention, he would have been killed by now.

The Mist Raven, skilled in illusion and assassination, is no less formidable.

Launched from a blind spot, the shuriken, coated with deadly poison, was casually swatted away like flies.

In order to rescue his teammates, he used the most powerful A-level illusion technique—the Magical Mirage Technique.

As a result, he was shattered by an unknown force in less than a second, suffered a backlash from the mental energy, and felt as if his brain had been hit with a blunt object. He has not yet recovered.

Looking at Gray Glass's youthful face and seemingly delicate body, Mist Raven felt a sharp pain in his brain, but his strong rationality suppressed the pain and dispelled his panic. Countless pieces of information were gathered into intelligence:

"She killed Kurio Mari's squad before we arrived, proving that her perception range is very wide, and we can't escape."

The opponent is a taijutsu-type ninja, so close combat is not possible; instead, use ninjutsu to attack from a distance and keep them at bay.

She's young, and her chakra reserves and stamina might be her weaknesses; a war of attrition could be effective against her.

In just a few words, Fog Raven finalized the subsequent battle strategy.

Meanwhile, Hui Li was not idle either.

For ninjas, intelligence gathering is of paramount importance.

Regardless of the level of combat, gathering intelligence on the enemy and understanding their weaknesses are the most important basic skills for a ninja.

However, Gray Glass has a much simpler way of obtaining information.

A unique 360-degree perspective.

Fog Raven and Bloodhound seemed to have become 3D models in a computer.

Clothes, masks, bones, flesh—everything was seen through by the terrifying pupil technique, turning into a series of precise data appearing in Hui Li's mind.

Mist Crow, a Chunin-level chakra user, and a Genjutsu-type Special Jonin.

He carries a poison pouch filled with powder at his waist, along with six kunai, twelve shuriken, and three explosive tags. He has a weak muscular structure, is skilled in genjutsu and sensory ninjutsu, but is not good at direct combat.

Bloodhound, chakra level, Chunin rank.

He has a robust frame and strong muscles, is skilled in taijutsu and swordsmanship, and possesses considerable strength. He carries several ninja tools, but no poison or explosive tags, making him relatively low-threat. His right arm is torn, swollen, and congested with blood, with a minor crack in the wrist bone; his taijutsu is almost completely disabled.

The opponent no longer has the resources to fight her head-on. Using ninjutsu to restrain her would consume even more chakra, while she herself consumes very little chakra when using either the Shikotsumyaku or the Byakugan.

In a contest of attrition, the ultimate victor will surely be oneself.

And her opponent will probably not engage in close combat with her again.

She must be careful to deal with any powerful ninjutsu attacks that may occur, and use her own strengths to forcefully break through and attack the enemy's weaknesses.

Squeak, squeak.

Except for the vital areas, the periosteum in Hui Li's body rapidly thinned, reducing his defenses and causing his weight to drop drastically.

Chakra gathers in the thighs.

Layers of muscle automatically tear apart and then heal in excess.

The muscles in the thighs become more developed and powerful, with clearer lines, like steel bars.

The bones struggle to protrude from the soles of the feet, breaking through the shoes and socks, protecting the feet while stabilizing the ankles, forming a more complete and secure kinetic chain.

The bone blades opened wide and were placed on either side of the body, like wings.

Squat down and lean forward.

His whole being was like a bowstring stretched to its limit.

The unusual movement on Gray Glass's side immediately caught Mist Raven's attention. The exoskeleton extending from its feet and the slightly strange movements set off alarm bells in its mind.

The combat instincts honed through long battles constantly sounded the alarm.

It made him tremble all over, as if he were dancing on the edge of a knife.

With his energy fully charged, Hui Li suddenly raised his head, his two bone blades spreading out in a straight line.

tom!
Bone shoes stomped wildly on the ground.

His body hurtled towards the two of them like a cannonball.

"coming."

"Run away!"

The crow and the bloodhound roared at the same time.

From their original positions, Hui Li's figure suddenly appeared, as if teleported, her movement almost invisible. The gleaming blades extended abruptly from her sides. Utilizing her immense speed, the blades sliced ​​through space in an instant, nearly severing both of them at the waist!

The Fog Raven and the Bloodhound leaped into the air in an instant!

The upper body is pressed down, the knees touch the chest, and the body is almost folded in mid-air.

Like rhythmic gymnastics, it was fluid and synchronized.

bass!
The blade grazed the sole of the shoe, the specially made steel at the bottom of the ninja shoe rubbing against the bone, and suddenly sparks flew violently in the darkness, emitting a piercing wail.

Leaping over the blades, the two lightly stepped on the bone blades with their toes, their bodies floating in mid-air, sandwiching Hui Li between them.

All four hands simultaneously form hand seals.

Chen-Chou-Mao.

Wei-noon-chen-yin.

Water Release: Water Chaos!
Earth Escape·Tu Long Spear!
The mist crow spewed out a large stream of water, and at the same time, the earth shook violently. Thick earth spikes emerged from the ground and attacked Gray Glass all at once.

The surging water collided with the spikes on the ground.

Water droplets scattered.

The figure of Hui Li was completely submerged.

Fog Raven and Bloodhound tumbled through the air and landed lightly.

"How about it?"

"The chakra reaction is over there!!!"

The crow, its hand forming an unformed seal, suddenly turned around.

call!
A strong wind howled, and Gray Glass, with her arms crossed, was pressed against her face.

His pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinhole.

Blood splattered.

The blade drew a cross in the air, slicing the Mist Raven's body into four pieces, before being smashed to pieces by the Gray Glass's body that followed.

Wow!
The raven's fragmented body transformed into clear water, falling to the ground and merging with the turbulent water currents.

not far away.

Clutching its chest, the mist crow bent over and coughed up blood repeatedly.

"Such a fast water dash, great teamwork."

Hui Li sheathed his sword and stood up, his bony feet taking a precise step back. No more, no less, the ground in front of him suddenly collapsed, revealing the grotesque spikes beneath.

Bloodhound broke out in a cold sweat, having successfully stopped Gray Glass's pursuit and saved Mist Raven's life.

"Not as fast as your knife."

The Mist Raven gritted his teeth, trembling with pain. The cross-shaped knife wound on his chest almost severed his body. Fortunately, he had laid water on the ground beforehand using the Water Wave Technique, giving him space to use Water Instantaneous Body.

"But... huff... Miss, you always stop for a while after each battle, it's not to give us a chance to catch our breath, is it!"

Mist Raven stared at Gray Glass, who stood motionless and silent, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth beneath the comical raven mask.

"Speed ​​that is imperceptible to the naked eye, and superhuman strength that defies common sense."

This is something you could never normally possess at your current size! Otherwise, you would have had no reason to kill Kuryu Mari and the others before we even arrived.

After each burst of power, you have to pause for a while before you can continue fighting, am I right?

The scene suddenly became quiet.

"Ha. So what if I know?"

Hui Li finally spoke.

Uncontrollable gusts of steam billowed from his mouth and nose.

His chest heaved rapidly.

The combined burst of power from all the muscles in the body leads to a significant expenditure of energy. Furthermore, muscle fibers are not rigid machines. After each use, it is necessary to allow the fatigued fibers to recover to their normal state.

It's like a bow being drawn to its limit.

After an arrow is shot, it must be allowed to return to its normal state before it can be stretched again. If it is kept taut, the bow will eventually break down.

Now, she's almost ready to attack again.

Six seconds.

The bloodhound, who had been silently watching Gray Glass, suddenly announced a precise number.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Gray Glass's face suddenly turn gloomy, Mist Raven, whose chest was bleeding profusely, couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice returning to its usual frivolous tone.
