Chapter 56: A More Ruthless Cloud Ninja Has Arrived

No one cared about Frodo's cursing, not even Shisui Uchiha.

Everyone was a professional ninja; stealing intelligence, assassination, and slaughter were all daily operations.

In any case, ninjas in the Ninja World tacitly agreed that things like being despicable were merely professional traits, having absolutely nothing to do with personal character.

For a dignified Cloud Hidden Jonin to curse Konoha ninjas as despicable only showed that his state of mind was unstable, unlike a mature ninja.

Therefore, Shisui not only turned a deaf ear to his cursing but instead focused on attacking his rear, forcing Frodo to jump around like a monkey.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Chujiu smiled and provided an assist.

Within the Mind Severing Realm, more Thought Threads entangled Frodo, accelerating the erosion of his mind and provoking his anger and impatience to the extreme.

Frodo was the person in charge of the Cloud Hidden Supply Center; he was already burning with rage from being ambushed, and now, being interfered with by the mental threads, his emotions became even more violent.

He roared, launching attacks indiscriminately, with electric arcs scattering everywhere.

Shisui Uchiha immediately seized the opportunity, using the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Frodo, and the two locked eyes.

Upon seeing the blood-red Sharingan and the rapidly spinning black tomoe, Frodo knew he had fallen into a trap.

But he had no time to close his eyes before Shisui, through their eye contact, poured ocular power into his brain, completing the Illusion: Sharingan.

Frodo's entire body stiffened, and he fell into a brief illusion.

But he did not give up resisting; the chakra throughout his body fluctuated wildly as he desperately tried to dispel the illusion.

Seeing this, Uchiha Happo and Uchiha Tekka abandoned the slaughter of the Cloud Ninjas and used the Body Flicker Technique to reach Shisui's side.

The three Uchiha ninjas took turns using Sharingan illusions, suppressing Frodo so he could not break free.

But the Uchihas were never good at cooperation; their Sharingan illusions were often poorly connected, allowing Frodo to briefly break free from control and launch counterattacks.

Except for Shisui, whose Body Flicker Technique stats were overpowered, allowing him to run Frodo in circles, the other two Uchihas nearly met with misfortune.

Happo and Tekka were beaten until cold sweat broke out, truly feeling the danger of the enemy.

They could no longer heed Yamanaka Chujiu's warning and instinctively tried to kill this dangerous Cloud Ninja.

Uchiha Happo quickly formed hand seals: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Dance!"

The scorching flames sprayed onto Frodo, burning the air until it distorted.

Uchiha Tekka drew his ninja sword and performed Uchiha Style Swordsmanship, stabbing toward Frodo's chest.

Seeing this scene, Shisui Uchiha couldn't help but shout: "Don't—!"

Frodo's Lightning Release Chakra Mode defense could not be pierced by blades, and the flames could not burn him; instead, the air distorted by the flames severely affected the effect of the Sharingan illusion.

This Cloud Hidden Elite Jonin laughed loudly: "Hahaha, thank you, you Uchihas!"

"Let me give you the most heroic death as my gratitude!"

Frodo let out a roar, his eyes filled with crazy killing intent, his hands surrounded by lightning, and he forcibly pulled out a blade of lightning, slashing it toward the two Uchihas.

At this moment, the battle within the ambush circle was nearing its end, and looking around, there were only the corpses of Cloud Ninjas.

As a practitioner of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Frodo was only good at defense, not at attacking or speed.

When he was surrounded by more than forty Konoha ninjas, death was an inevitable outcome.

Therefore, his roar was full of killing intent and madness, as well as intense unwillingness; he simply wanted to take a few people down with him before he died.

At this critical moment, Shisui Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of his two teammates, enduring the scorching heat of the Fire Release, his own ninja sword flickering with electric arcs as he placed it in front of the lightning blade.

In the dazzling lightning, two powerful Lightning Release chakras clashed; the result was Shisui being sent flying, and the lightning blade shattering into arcs of electricity that filled the sky.

Shisui succeeded; although all three Uchihas were burned by the electric arcs, they only suffered superficial wounds and were in no danger of losing their lives.

Frodo's full-force blow was blocked, and his entire spirit and energy withered instantly; a powerless despair welled up in his heart.

This was the emotion Yamanaka Chujiu was most familiar with, alongside the desire to live, so he was skilled enough to grasp it almost instinctively and directly detonate that despair.

Extreme despair made Frodo give up struggling, and he was not even willing to refine his chakra.

Shisui Uchiha discovered in disbelief that the Lightning Release chakra on the enemy had dissipated, and he suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique repeatedly.

The first time he flickered, he picked up his own broken Short Sword.

The second time he flickered, Shisui appeared in front of Frodo, and the Short Sword stabbed into his strong chest.

The Cloud Hidden Elite Jonin's body suddenly went rigid, and in an instant, he lost his strength and slowly collapsed.

He looked at the sky blankly and muttered: "How could it be like this... how could I be so cowardly as to give up the fight..."

The muttering gradually faded, and Frodo completely lost his breath.

Frodo was the last Cloud Ninja to die, and when Shisui Uchiha stood up, the battlefield was completely calm.

The Cloud Ninjas were wiped out, and no Konoha ninjas had fallen.

Even the only injured ninjas were the three Uchihas who had surrounded and killed Frodo.

The ambush was a complete victory!

"We won!"

The newly joined Konoha ninjas shouted excitedly, joyful smiles appearing on their faces.

In their view, this was a rare victory without sacrifice.

But on the faces of the Konoha ninjas in the assault unit, there were smiles of "as expected."

They had already been spoiled by Yamanaka Chujiu, feeling that a zero-casualty complete victory in an ambush battle could not be considered a surprise at all.

Just at this moment, an extremely powerful chakra fluctuation suddenly erupted; it was a vast, extreme chakra filled with an evil texture.

It was the chakra of a Tailed Beast!

The unique violence and oppressive feeling of a Tailed Beast made people shudder, feeling fear from their very instincts.

The smiles of the Konoha ninjas froze on their faces, and they stared blankly in the direction of the Tailed Beast chakra fluctuation.

Yamanaka Chujiu also had a grave expression as he slowly stood up: "This kind of scorching chakra, the Two-Tails jinchuriki from Kumogakure has come."

"Damn it, just after finishing off one troublesome Cloud Ninja, an even more ruthless one has arrived!"

"Give up cleaning the battlefield, everyone retreat, retreat immediately!"

"Retreat to the Second Assembly Point!"

Hearing his order, the Konoha Ninja immediately sprang into action, quickly organizing their ninja tools before retreating with their wounded companions.

However, the speed of the Two-Tails jinchuriki far exceeded expectations, and the distance between them and the Konoha Ninja was constantly shrinking.

Yamanaka Chujiu's expression shifted slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he ordered again: "Shisui Uchiha, come with me to cover the retreat!"

"Everyone else, continue to retreat!"

Hearing Yamanaka Chujiu's order, the Konoha Ninja instantly clenched their fists, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Every Konoha Ninja knew what staying behind to cover the retreat meant at this moment.

But they knew even more that they absolutely must not waste Chujiu's sacrifice, and the assault squad firmly believed that Chujiu could create a miracle.

Therefore, no one stopped their pace.
