Chapter 447: The Powerful Unknown Ninja! (Request Full Subscription! Auto-Subscribe!)

The Eight Gates' suppression effect on these ghosts was still very obvious.

Especially these ghostly spirits, like summoned beasts, seemed completely devoid of wisdom, charging straight at them without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Neji, who guarded the carriage, began to ponder.

"These strange summoned beasts resemble ghosts more, and their attacks are far too chaotic."

"It's as if someone herded them here."

Neji spoke, analyzing the situation of these suspected summoned-beast ghosts.

"How is this possible! If someone can control these monsters, wouldn't that be terrifying?"

Tenten said, disbelief in her voice—the monsters on the battlefield numbered "two hundred ten."

If not for Might Guy and Lee, wouldn't they already have been defeated?

Just then, Neji's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Tenten, beside him, naturally noticed it too.

"What's wrong, Neji! What's happening!"

Tenten asked with deep concern, while Neji furrowed his brow, then slowly spoke:

"Over there is someone with an enormous amount of chakra—no, that's not chakra; that thing is a ghost!"

Neji spoke again, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appearing on his forehead.

If it's a ghost, then that's the hardest thing to deal with.

Only Lee and Might Guy can inflict damage on ghosts.

And they simply cannot harm ghosts at all.

After all, they don't know any mystical arts, nor do they know what a Zanpakutō is.

When facing ghosts, they're nothing but cannon fodder—even that's too generous!

Upon hearing Neji's words, Tenten's face also darkened.

If it truly is a ghost, then her attack methods will be completely useless!

"Wait—something's off! There are two! One ninja, one ghost!"

At that moment, Neji suddenly spoke, correcting his earlier assessment.

Through his Byakugan, he saw not just one ghost, but also a ninja!

Just as Tenten was about to speak or ask something, Neji spoke again.

"That ninja is coming closer, and his strength must be immense—his internal chakra levels are astonishing!"

After hearing Neji's words, Tenten looked up—and sure enough, there he was.

A masked ninja appeared!

"The statue is ours. You two better get out of the way while you still can."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The ninja appeared and spoke arrogantly, showing no regard whatsoever for Tenten or Neji.

Neji's forehead broke into a cold sweat.

This man's strength was no joke.

Just as Neji was considering how to respond, Tenten struck!

"Hey!"

With a loud cry, Tenten unrolled a scroll, launching countless ninja tools into the air!

Watching the incoming ninja tools, the ninja sneered:

"Child's play!"

The next instant, the ninja drew a kunai.

Ding ding ding

The clashing of weapons rang out continuously—Tenten's attack had been effortlessly neutralized!

"How is this possible!"

Tenten muttered in disbelief, while Neji charged forward.

"Gentle Fist!"

With the help of his Byakugan, Neji found the weakest point in the opponent's defense.

He swung his palm—once it landed, the opponent would fall into his attack rhythm.

Then, they could easily defeat this powerful ninja!

Neji had already visualized the outcome in his mind—yet who would have thought…

Thud.

The opponent grabbed Neji's wrist outright!

"Fast, but still far behind me. Now let me send you off!"

The ninja grinned cruelly, then drove the kunai sharply toward Neji's throat.

Fortunately, Tenten lunged forward at that moment.

She blocked the attack with a nunchaku.

Neji leapt upward and kicked straight at the ninja.

With their coordination, Neji finally broke free from the opponent's grip.

The ninja stepped back two paces and began forming hand seals.

"Wind Release: Great Wind Shatter!"

With a roar, an invisible attack surged toward them.

However, Neji possessed the Byakugan; even if he could not see it directly.

As long as a jutsu was composed of chakra, it shone as dazzling as the sun in his eyes.

Yet, when Neji saw that the attack was not aimed at himself, his expression instantly changed.

"Tenten, be careful!"

Neji shouted loudly, but it was already too late!

Although Tenten had dodged immediately, the speed of the Wind Release jutsu was simply too fast.

Tenten completely failed to dodge and was struck by the Wind Release.

A bloody hole was punched directly into her shoulder.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my, it actually went wide, but next time I won't let you be so lucky!"

The ninja joked upon seeing this; in reality, it was Tenten's evasion that caused his jutsu to go wide.

If Tenten's speed had been a bit faster, perhaps his jutsu would have been dodged outright!

"In that case, let's try this move! Wind Release: Tornado Destroying the Forest!"
