Chapter 23: Poisoned (Please follow and read)

Sakukaze was not surprised by the harvest of resentment energy, but there could absolutely not be three portions.

Because among the people present, on the surface, only Kakashi and Uchiha Fugaku could intuitively feel Sakukaze's "humble-brag" culture.

As for those in the caravan, even the person in charge, Jiaocheng Yuan, couldn't possibly know the intelligence about the Sharingan.

The real world is not an anime; anyone who comes from outside can know about the Sharingan.

Not to mention ordinary people, even for low-level ninjas, the intelligence of the Sharingan belongs to the category that is difficult to reach.

So theoretically, Uchiha Sakukaze should only receive two portions of resentment energy. But in reality, three portions of resentment energy merged into Sakukaze's eyes.

Then, "Shinji, you're always touching your belly!" (A reference to a meme, likely meaning "there's a hidden enemy"). There must be a ninja hidden among the people present, and a high-level ninja who could access the intelligence of the Sharingan.

A sharp light flashed in Sakukaze's eyes; he knew very well that the hidden ninja was definitely not someone from the caravan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hide for so long under the nose of Uchiha Fugaku, an Elite Jonin.

Then the result was very clear; the hidden ninja was definitely in the same group as the four dead Rain Hidden ninjas.

Sure enough, the next moment, a chilling coldness came from behind Sakukaze.

"Careful!"

Too late to think, Sakukaze kicked Kakashi in the stomach, kicking him dozens of meters away.

At the same time, relying on this recoil force, Sakukaze's figure also left the spot.

Just as the two separated, a cold light directly hit the position Sakukaze had just occupied, bringing out traces of blood.

Even though Sakukaze's reaction was very timely, because the attacker's strength was too high, a wound was still left on Sakukaze's arm.

As the blood dripped, Sakukaze felt a burning stinging pain suddenly come from his arm.

This is definitely not the feeling a normal injury should have!

Sakukaze's heart was shocked.

Not daring to hesitate, he directly tore off the sleeve of the injured part.

Sure enough, as Sakukaze expected, the not-deep wound had completely turned black. As time passed, the black color even had signs of spreading outward.

Poisoned! Such strong toxicity.

Sakukaze's heart felt cold.

In just an instant, Sakukaze could feel his physical strength dropping rapidly.

One could imagine the strength of its toxicity; it was definitely a must-have boutique for killing and looting.

Not daring to have the slightest hesitation, Sakukaze directly mobilized the chakra in his body, wanting to force the poison out of his body.

The idea was very good, but since such a poison was formulated, how could it be forced out of the body by chakra?

Even Sakukaze, who had super strong chakra control, was the same.

Because this poison had the characteristic of eroding chakra.

Not to mention, how could the Rain Hidden ninja give Sakukaze time to detoxify?

Almost without any hesitation, the Rain Hidden ninja who failed the sneak attack just now attacked Sakukaze fiercely again.

And to prevent capsizing in the gutter, the Rain Hidden ninja even closed his eyes to prevent the Sharingan's genjutsu.

Facing this fierce blow, Sakukaze wanted to resist, but the poison slowly spreading on his arm made it difficult for him to make an effective counterattack.

Not far away, Kakashi, who was kicked away by Sakukaze, also had his eyes wide open, looking at this scene with a ferocious expression.

Having been together for so long, although he was often angered by Sakukaze until his liver hurt, he absolutely didn't want to see Sakukaze die in front of him.

Without any hesitation, dazzling lightning suddenly flashed on Kakashi's body. With a cold light flashing, Kakashi's short blade was already out of its sheath.

Lightning Style chakra activation was fully opened; even if it meant being seriously injured, Kakashi had to block the Rain Hidden ninja's blow and buy time for Sakukaze to retreat.

But where was it so simple? The distance between the Rain Hidden ninja and Sakukaze was closer than Kakashi, and his strength was not something Kakashi could compare to.

So even if Kakashi had tried his best, it was still far from enough to face the Rain Hidden ninja's extreme speed attack.

Watching the Rain Hidden ninja's long blade about to fall on Sakukaze, and Sakukaze's single-handed kunai, no matter how you looked at it, couldn't block the Rain Hidden ninja's long blade.

As if he had already anticipated the scene of Sakukaze being dismembered next, the Rain Hidden ninja's originally expressionless face also showed a ferocious smile.

Ding~

The sound of metal collision came, making the ferocious smile on the Rain Hidden ninja's face instantly freeze.

Who said Sakukaze was bound to die? Don't forget, there was still an Elite Jonin, Uchiha Fugaku, in their squad.

That's right, just at the critical moment, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly appeared between Sakukaze and the Rain Hidden ninja, blocking the Rain Hidden's blade momentum.

Although he also used a kunai, Uchiha Fugaku's hard strength was there, and blocking an attack was easy.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Without any intermission, after blocking the Rain Hidden ninja's blade momentum, a huge fireball was directly spat out from Uchiha Fugaku's mouth.

Without any hesitation, the Rain Hidden ninja directly withdrew and stayed away, avoiding the attack range of the Great Fireball.

Although he was confident that he could kill Sakukaze while resisting the Great Fireball, he didn't choose to do so.

In his eyes, the poisoned Sakukaze was already fish on the chopping block, so why bother paying the price of serious injury to exchange for Sakukaze's premature death?

Don't look at the Great Fireball as if it couldn't kill people, but as a ninjutsu passed down by the Uchiha Clan for thousands of years, whoever was tough knew the taste of it.

It might not be fatal to the incoming Rain Hidden ninja, but a serious injury was definitely unavoidable.

But being seriously injured under Uchiha Fugaku's nose, what was the difference from sending one's life directly?

Seeing Sakukaze saved by Fugaku, Kakashi, who knew his own limits and knew he was not an opponent at all, didn't force an attack on the Rain Hidden ninja but chose to protect himself and not add trouble to Uchiha Fugaku.

And after forcing back the Rain Hidden ninja, Uchiha Fugaku didn't choose to pursue the victory, but while being vigilant of the Rain Hidden ninja, he threw an antidote to Sakukaze.

"Sakukaze, use the antidote first and see if you can suppress the poison."

"Kakashi, you are responsible for protecting Sakukaze, leave this Rain Hidden ninja to me."

Without any hesitation, Uchiha Fugaku made a decision immediately.

"Hmm."

"Understood, I will protect Sakukaze well!"

Regarding Uchiha Fugaku's arrangement, Sakukaze had no intention of opposing it.

After all, he knew his own situation; if he forced himself to show off, he would definitely be the one dragging his feet.

Kakashi, who had just arrived at Uchiha Fugaku and Sakukaze's side, nodded firmly after hearing Uchiha Fugaku's arrangement and gave his answer. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
