On the high wall.
After the Sage Mode Chakra circulated through his body, Aokawa immediately felt refreshed and his whole body felt light.
Moreover, since his Transmigration, he had performed physical training almost every day.
Although his Chakra volume still couldn't compare to those monsters, it was already much better than at the beginning.
After recovering his stamina, quite a bit of Sage Mode Chakra still remained; the '20-second real man' situation did not occur again.
He was thinking of using this Sage Mode Chakra to cause some trouble for the enemies below.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.
Almost as a bodily instinctive reaction, his Chakra erupted instantly!
Hirenkyaku abruptly moved his body sideways several meters.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Almost the instant he left his spot, several Humanoid Cat Claws wrapped in eerie blue Chakra sliced through the solid city wall like tofu, making a sharp sound.
Aokawa steadied himself, his gaze sweeping over the deep gashes on the ground, his heart chilling.
"That was close! If not for the sensory boost in Sage Mode significantly increasing my danger detection, she might have actually succeeded."
Not far away, Nii Yugito landed lightly, a clear hint of surprise flashing in her cat-like eyes.
She was extremely confident in her speed and stealth; that strike was meant to be decisive.
She hadn't expected this Hyuga Clan brat to react so quickly, and that teleportation-like movement was very strange, leaving no trace of exertion, completely different from the common Body Flicker Technique.
"Interesting..." The corners of her mouth curled, but her killing intent grew even stronger. Since the sneak attack failed, she would crush him with absolute power!
"Mouse Hairball!"
With a wave of her hands, no hand signs needed, dozens of Mouse Hairballs wrapped in blue flames instantly condensed.
Making a buzzing sound, they swarmed toward Aokawa from various tricky angles in a dense barrage!
"Aokawa!"
"Aokawa!"
The crowd cried out; they had stayed away on purpose earlier, fearing they would interfere with Aokawa's Sage Mode circulation to recover his condition.
They hadn't expected this move to give the enemy an opportunity.
Facing the saturated attack, Aokawa's Chakra circulation reached its peak speed.
Clap!
He slammed his hands together in front of his chest.
"Sage Art: Water Release: Water Wall!"
Boom!
A very thick water curtain suddenly rose from the ground, standing between Aokawa and the attack!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dense Mouse Hairballs continuously bombarded the high-speed flowing Water Wall, exploding into bursts of blue flames and water splashes.
Under the support of the Sage Mode Chakra, the water curtain forcibly blocked all the Mouse Hairballs.
"Are you kidding me! Blocking all my Mouse Hairballs with Water Release in a waterless environment." Nii Yugito's face was full of disbelief.
She pushed off with her feet, rushing in front of Aokawa again, her claws slashing fiercely at him.
This time, Aokawa did not move away; instead, his left foot stepped forward half a pace, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he threw a seemingly simple straight punch directly at her face!
"Naive! Do you know what it means to strike after the opponent but arrive first?" A flash of mockery crossed Nii Yugito's mind.
She tilted her head slightly, avoiding the strike by a hair's breadth.
"I win!" Just as she was about to plunge her sharp claws into Aokawa.
Bang!
An invisible force struck Nii Yugito's cheek without warning.
Ugh!!
She let out a muffled groan, her cheek distorting for a moment under the force, her movement forcibly interrupted.
She flew backward uncontrollably, rolling several times on the ground before barely steadying herself.
Kneeling on one knee, clutching her aching face, she suddenly looked up.
"I should have dodged that strike!" Her cat eyes were filled with unbelievable horror and confusion, staring fixedly at Aokawa, who still held his punching stance.
"This kid probably used Natural Energy." Matatabi's voice sounded in her mind.
"Natural Energy?"
"Yes, I'll explain later. Be careful."
In the moment she was dazed, Shirakumo Hayama and Uchiha Hachidai had already closed in on her.
Two sharp Ninja Blades, carrying the sound of breaking air, slashed accurately and ruthlessly toward Nii Yugito's vitals from the left and right!
"Hmph!" Nii Yugito snorted coldly, reacting extremely fast. Her arms were instantly covered in thick blue Chakra as her Humanoid Cat Claws blocked upward.
Clang! Clang!
Two ear-piercing metallic clangs erupted! Cat claws collided violently with the Ninja Blades, sparks flying everywhere!
"I don't want any old men!" Nii Yugito stared at the two and sneered.
Immediately after, her figure blurred like a ghost for an instant; Shirakumo Hayama and Uchiha Hachidai's slashes passed through afterimages.
In the next instant, relying on her supreme speed, Nii Yugito abruptly appeared behind Aokawa!
"Got you!" Her claws, wrapped in eerie blue Chakra, slashed fiercely at Aokawa.
However!
The Humanoid Cat Claws also only slashed through Aokawa's afterimage.
He had already used Hirenkyaku to pull away.
At the same time, during the movement, the Spirit Bow was already in his hand.
The Chakra Arrows upon it glowed with a dazzling light.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Almost in an instant, several Chakra Arrows were fired at Nii Yugito, sealing off the space around her.
"So fast!" Nii Yugito's pupils shrank.
This kid had not only dodged her sneak attack but also launched such a dense counterattack in an instant.
She swung her cat claws with all her might, batting away the Chakra Arrows aimed at her vitals one by one.
But one Chakra Arrow still shot into her shoulder.
Pfft!
The Chakra Arrow pierced right through, bringing a splash of blood.
"You damn brat!" Being injured repeatedly caused Nii Yugito's anger to reach its peak.
Enduring the sharp pain in her shoulder, she retreated rapidly, her eyes turning completely dark as she saw the others flanking her from both sides.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Inabi, who had been looking for an opportunity on the flank, finally acted! A giant fireball with scorching heat blocked Nii Yugito's path on one side.
Now that she had lost the initiative for a sneak attack, the joint siege of the Konoha elites instantly pushed her into a corner!
"Matatabi!"
"Understood!"
Under everyone's gaze, Nii Yugito let out a beastly low growl, her green cat eyes instantly contracting into vertical slits!
The eerie blue Chakra that had only covered her surface suddenly expanded and erupted!
