Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Fuuen didn't say much about Tsunade's sarcasm. That's just how the world is; if you want to do something, you always need some reason.

Just as the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, wanted to marginalize the Uchiha clan, wasn't it also because Konoha needed a police force?

Feng Yan glanced around. "Where's the other one?"

"What?" Tsunade was taken aback.

"Hey, what about the person you saved?" Fengyan repeated, then shook her head. "Never mind, he's not important. What's important is you."

The moment he saw Tsunade, he understood that the person fighting Kakuzu was most likely seriously injured and unable to fight, otherwise Tsunade would not have taken the initiative to ambush them.

But that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is Tsunade; her life is more precious than that unknown person's life.

As he spoke, he took a step forward, the sharp kunai reflecting a cold, indifferent face.

"Let me guess, you've reached your limit, otherwise you wouldn't have been talking so much nonsense with me."

Tsunade sneered, "You can try."

But inwardly she sighed. Fengyan was right. The reason she said more was because the first wave of attacks was the limit of what she could do at the moment. Now that her wounds had been aggravated, she could feel her body being torn apart even when she breathed.

Would Fengyan dare to make a move? Of course not. If he knew Tsunade's situation accurately, he would have already acted. He was always extremely cautious around ninjas of such renown.

Think about which ninjas in Konoha have titles.

The God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.

Professor of Ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Tomb of the Ninjas, by Danzo Shimura.

White leaves and ivory, lush and verdant flags.

Yellow flash, Minato Namikaze.

Every Konoha ninja with a title is famous in the ninja world. Although the title of "Konoha Legendary Sannin" is not as well-known as the previous ones, he would not underestimate Tsunade because of it.

"You, go and find out what's going on."

Suddenly, Fengyan spoke to his last subordinate.

The latter's face turned pale, and he cursed Fengyan in his heart for being such a bastard who sent him to investigate because he was afraid of dying.

But when he looked up and met those unyielding, deep eyes, a chill ran through him. To defy Feng Yan? He dared not. He knew all along that every Jonin, besides their own strength, possessed extraordinary skills.

"Yes." He said, bowing his head, and drew his kunai. The smoke and mist behind him quietly increased in distance.

The Chunin swallowed hard, cautiously approached Tsunade, and slowly raised his kunai, intending to use it to probe her intentions.

Tsunade remained expressionless, a sigh escaping her lips. Having bought herself a brief respite, and given her current physical condition, she had one more chance to strike.

Originally, she wanted to just fight Fengyan directly and take the Jonin with her before she died, which would be fine. However, she didn't expect Fengyan to be so treacherous. Knowing that she was seriously injured, she still used her hands to probe her.

There was no other way; I had to use my final trump card on this Chunin.

Chakra slowly gathered in her palm. If one had Byakugan, they could see that all the chakra in Tsunade's body was converging on her right hand—an extremely terrifying energy.

shhh-

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and a senbon needle pierced through the arm of the Chunin from Takigakure who was carrying those kunai.

"Ah!" he screamed, the knife slipping from his hand, his other hand clutching his bleeding hand.

Immediately, a figure appeared in front of him, and he was terrified when he saw the tiger mask.

"Water Release: Water Prison"

The tiger moved with lightning speed, its hands forming hand seals like a butterfly flitting among flowers. In an instant, a two-meter-high water prison jutsu trapped the Chunin. The Chunin, his neck stretched out, struggled to breathe and frantically pounded on the water prison with his fists, trying to break free. However, this method was utterly ineffective in escaping the water prison.

However, he wasn't mindless. After realizing that ordinary methods were ineffective, he actually knew to use ninjutsu to break the deadlock, and shakily formed hand seals with his injured hand.

wow-

Suddenly, several cracks appeared on the surface of the water prison, and more than ten sharp earth spikes suddenly pierced out from the ground, piercing the water like swords. The water prison collapsed with a roar, and water droplets rained down everywhere.

He was clever, knowing that Earth Release counters Water Release, but that was all he could do. The instant the Chunin broke free of the water prison to breathe, a kunai silently sliced ​​across his neck.

The latter stared wide-eyed, clutching his neck in frustration. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feng Yan, who had remained silent throughout, merely observing coldly. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

died.

The members of the Dark Guard were used to killing, so the expression beneath the tiger mask remained completely unchanged, like that of a rag doll.

He stepped forward, blocking Tsunade's path, and silently stared at the wind and smoke not far away.

"Slap slap."

"They're really efficient." Fengyan exclaimed. "As expected of Konoha's Anbu, they're definitely much stronger than the ninjas of Takigakure." Then, he changed the subject, "Konoha's Anbu, mission machines, killing without emotion, truly live up to their name."

"Likewise." A hoarse voice, neither male nor female, came from behind the tiger mask. "I had no intention of interfering in the deaths of my subordinates. If we're talking about being devoid of emotion, I can't compare to you, Fengyan."

Feng Yan chuckled, "As for subordinates, I can have as many as I want."

Tsunade gave Fuuka a deep look. She suddenly realized that the ninjutsu in front of her was also a terrifying person, and often such people thrive in chaotic times.

"I heard that a ninja from Takigakure drank the Hero's Water, and since then, his strength has greatly increased, and he quickly became a Jonin in the village," Tiger said calmly.

"Hmm...that's true. Since then, many ninjas have been eyeing the Hero's Water. What's wrong?" Fengyan nodded slightly.

"That person, isn't that you?" the tiger said.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Fengyan asked in surprise.

"Isn't that right?"

"Hehe, it really is me." Fengyan readily admitted.

The tiger nodded and said to himself, "I've heard that drinking Hero's Water can increase a person's chakra level by more than ten times. I'm wondering... can someone who has already drunk Hero's Water drink it again? And will it have any effect?"

Feng Yan narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

The tiger then took out another kunai from his pocket. The two kunai rubbed together, creating a rustling sound in the empty cave.

"We've checked, and the Hero's Water of Takigakure is indeed lost. But we've also found something interesting: the last person to see the Hero's Water was you." Tiger stared quietly at Fengyan. Although he was only a Chunin, he didn't lose his aura in front of a Jonin.

"Hahaha, you don't think I stole it from you, do you?" Fengyan burst into laughter.

"Who knows?" The tiger shrugged.

"Kid," Fengyan suddenly stopped smiling, "you're very brave, but in this world, your strength must match your courage."

As soon as the words were spoken, the tiger's pupils contracted sharply, and its body trembled.

The smoke and dust ahead turned into a puddle of water.

At the same time, a cheerful laugh came from behind, "I know you're stalling for time, which is perfect, I need some time too."

A kunai pierced the tiger's back. Fengyan released his grip and said quietly, "The gap between Chunin and Jonin can't be bridged by courage alone."
