On the side of the Mist Ninja team, seeing the numerous figures slowly approaching, they knew that these people were slowing down to let the captain of the Hyuga clan recover chakra.
After realizing this, the Mist Ninja team became more confident about this interception operation.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they didn't even use the Mist Concealment Technique, which was known as the silent Assassination Technique and most suitable for assassination. Instead, they were like a cold and venomous snake, waiting for the prey to get closer before swiftly delivering a fatal blow.
Just as Hizashi Hyuga's team got close, the Mist Jonin didn't hesitate any longer and quickly cast a ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Seeing this, the other Mist Ninjas also used ninjutsu to attack one after another.
In an instant, dozens of ninjutsu mixed with Water Release and Lightning Release submerged Hizashi Hyuga's team. They didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Seeing this scene, the Mist Ninjas began to mock the weakness of the Konoha Ninjas, unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
Only the Mist Jonin instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. Logically speaking, after making so many preparations and launching a surprise attack, it should be a matter of course to successfully take care of the other side. Even an elite Jonin of the Hyuga clan would only struggle a little at most.
Wait! An elite Jonin of the Hyuga clan!
The Mist Jonin stared fixedly at Hizashi, who was wrapped in the Water Release ninjutsu. Right under his gaze, Hizashi, who had obvious features, and all the Konoha Ninjas turned into white smoke and dissipated.
"It's a kage clone! We've fallen into a trap!"
Before the Mist Ninja team could react, Hizashi, who had been hiding, rushed out instantly. His Byakugan locked onto the enemy Jonin firmly.
Led by Yue Yan, Asuma, and Kurenai Yūhi, they led the others to launch a surprise attack while the Mist Ninjas were still in a daze.
"Lightning Release: Thunder Spear!"
Yue Yan took less than a second from pretending to make a few hand seals to throwing out the Thunder Spear.
Even though the Mist Ninjas had come to their senses after their captain's shout, it was already too late.
Three extremely compressed Thunder Spears turned into golden streaks of light. In an instant, they blew the heads off three Mist Ninjas who, according to what Hizashi had told Yue Yan, had the most chakra among the enemies.
The dazzling Lightning Flash, accompanied by crackling sounds and the splattering red - and - white brain matter, announced the start of this fierce battle where only one side was destined to survive.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Illusion: Falling Sakura Nai Sword Technique!"
Asuma and Kurenai Yūhi were not to be outdone. They each used their most proficient ninjutsu to fight the enemies.
And the Konoha Ninjas at the back also joined in the attack on the Mist Ninjas.
Even though this was an elite Mist Ninja team, with their Jonin captain being held back, the deputy - commander being instantly killed by Yue Yan with the Thunder Spear, and the sudden attack, they couldn't mount a proper resistance.
Half of the original thirty-man squad died instantly. The remaining half, seeing that all was lost, decided to take the intelligence back to the Mist Ninjas' position.
To increase their chances of survival, these Mist Ninjas even fled in different directions in tacit agreement.
Naturally, the Konoha side wouldn't allow this. Just as Asuma let out a shout and was about to chase after them, Yue Yan grabbed him.
"Don't be impulsive. We were able to defeat them just now thanks to our numbers and a surprise attack. If you go up for a one-on-one fight, it's not certain you'll win."
"So we're just going to stand here and watch?" Even though Asuma knew Yue Yan was right, there was still a look of anxiety on his face.
"Leave it to me." Yue Yan gave a confident smile and patted Asuma on the shoulder, telling him not to worry.
Then, Yue Yan imitated the First Hokage who was proficient in Wood Release and clapped his hands.
Water Release! Water Cannon!
The Water Release! Water Cannon! is from the skills of Blastoise. Through its mouth and the cannon on its back, it can shoot out a large amount of high-pressure water flow with great power.
Although Yue Yan didn't have a cannon, he had a mouth.
Yue Yan's chest swelled up like a balloon, and then the high-pressure water cannon spurted out from his mouth. With a large consumption of chakra, the water flow of the Water Release! Water Cannon! used by Yue Yan was even comparable to that of the Great Exploding Water Shockwave. In fact, its impact was even greater.
In an instant, a large area in front of Yue Yan, including trees and rocks, was washed away by the water flow.
The Mist Ninjas who hadn't run far were directly swept in. Some unlucky ones who didn't react in time were knocked unconscious by the water flow carrying terrifying power and gradually sank to the bottom. If no one saved them, they would only end up drowning.
Some Mist Ninjas who reacted in time and used chakra to offset the impact were also blasted into the water by the huge amount of water. Now, they were swimming up to the surface.
"Whoa, so powerful! How much chakra does this ninjutsu burn?"
Hearing Asuma's dull words beside him, Yue Yan curled his lips.
"Pfft, this is nothing. Just an ordinary Water Release ninjutsu."
Hearing Yue Yan's boasting words, Asuma couldn't help rolling his eyes. Just as he was about to retort, he saw Yue Yan squat down and stick his hands into the water.
"The real show is just beginning. Lightning Release: Thunderbolt!"
When Yue Yan used the Lightning Release: Thunderbolt based on the skills of the Electric Monster and his own Pikachu Template, he was instantly surrounded by a dazzling Lightning Bolt, looking like a golden sun of lightning that constantly radiated infinite light and heat.
This move of Yue Yan not only had full special effects but also full power.
Those Mist Ninjas who were about to swim to the surface originally had happy expressions on their faces. However, in the next instant, a Lightning Bolt that could pierce through the human body and burn the internal organs and brain passed through them.
These Mist Ninjas stiffened up and, with the happy expressions of about to break through the surface and breathe in the air, slowly sank to the bottom.
If someone were to come and examine these Mist Ninjas, they would be surprised to find that there were no visible wounds on the surface of their bodies, but their insides were charred black, and the internal flesh would fall off with a single wipe. Clearly, they had been electrocuted from the inside by an extremely high-voltage Lightning Flash.
On Asuma's side, everyone was staring blankly at this scene. After all, the spectacular sight of countless thick Lightning Flash churning on the water surface was something they felt they'd never forget in their lifetimes.
Suddenly feeling something wet under his feet, Asuma then realized that when he saw Yue Yan using a large-scale Water Release earlier, he'd jumped up and used chakra to stick to the soles of his feet, which was why he hadn't been swept into the water.
Realizing this, Asuma let out a yelp and clung to Yue Yan. After all, he had witnessed the miserable state of those Mist Ninjas with his own eyes, and water conducts electricity. He didn't want to die from being accidentally injured by his teammate.
Feeling Asuma clinging to him tightly, Yue Yan twitched his mouth and tried to pull him off... but he couldn't. With Asuma's astonishing will to survive, Yue Yan even tore open the seams of his Chunin vest but still couldn't get him off.
"Come on, get off quickly," Yue Yan said helplessly. "The Lightning Release I used just now was under control and wouldn't accidentally hurt teammates."
"Really?"
Asuma looked at Yue Yan suspiciously, clearly not believing him.
Seeing this, Yue Yan didn't know what else to say.
"If you're scared, then keep holding on, but Hong is still standing over there..."
Before Yue Yan could finish speaking, upon hearing the name of his goddess, Asuma immediately jumped off Yue Yan and rushed to Hong's side, showering her with concern.
This scene made Yue Yan's mouth twitch again. Sure enough, at this age, only love could make these young guys put everything else aside.
Just as Yue Yan was thinking this, a warning suddenly came from Hizashi Hyuga's side.
"Yue Yan, watch out!"
