Chapter 835 A Surprise Attack!

"Since you're so eager to be surprise troops, I'll give you a hand and add some spice to the mix. Let's make Konoha even more chaotic."

……

Deep in the forest surrounding Konoha Village.

A group of ninjas dressed in Hidden Mist Anbu uniforms were moving silently at breakneck speed. They were like a group of real water ghosts, making no sound whatsoever, even the sound of their footsteps on the fallen leaves was deliberately suppressed to the extreme.

The leader was a middle-aged ninja named Qing, who wore a black eyepatch over his right eye.

At this moment, Qing's heart was surging with an uncontrollable joy.

"It went so smoothly! It was unbelievably smooth!"

He suppressed his excitement and scanned his surroundings with his remaining Byakugan. They hadn't encountered a single Konoha sentry on their stealthy journey, and even the most basic defensive barriers seemed to have weaknesses.

"It seems that Master Yuan's intelligence was correct. Konoha has already exhausted all its forces to deal with Kumogakure and Iwagakure. The current Konoha Village is like a naked beauty lying in front of us, completely defenseless!"

Qing couldn't help but smile.

"If we advance another five kilometers, we can break directly into the heart of Konoha! Then, we'll set fires, kill, create chaos... My name, Ao, will be forever etched in the annals of ninja history as the first Hidden Mist hero to breach Konoha's defenses!"

This illusion of about to achieve something extraordinary filled him with excitement, as if he could already see himself standing on the Hokage Rock of Konoha, receiving the worship of everyone.

However, just as his dream was about to reach its climax, a sudden change occurred.

thump.

There was a muffled sound behind him.

Ao turned around abruptly and saw an elite Jonin following closely behind him suddenly collapse to the ground without warning. Then, like toppled dominoes, a series of thuds followed.

Within seconds, dozens of ninjas in the once orderly ranks collapsed to the ground. They showed no signs of injury or poisoning, but lay on the ground convulsing violently, their eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, and their faces contorted in extreme terror, as if they had witnessed the most horrible thing in a nightmare.

"This is...an illusion?!"

Qing broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

His proud white eye darted around wildly, its gaze piercing through trees and obstacles, trying to locate the caster.

"Where is it? Where is it?!"

The ability to simultaneously strike dozens of elite ninjas without their knowledge is an unheard-of skill in genjutsu!

Finally, on a high ground far away from them, Qing's white eyes caught sight of a blurry figure.

The figure was dressed in a long, black robe and wore a mask, but even from several kilometers away, its scarlet eyes still radiated a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

That's... the Sharingan!

"This eye power...this distance..."

Qing felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an icy hand.

In the current ninja world, there is only one name that is as famous as thunder in the ears of the Uchiha clan members who can cast genjutsu from several kilometers away and kill dozens of elites with a single blow.

"Shisui of the Body Flicker... Uchiha Shisui?!"

Qing's voice was trembling.

Didn't the intelligence report say that Shisui was transferred back to Konoha to take charge of security? Why is he appearing on this godforsaken border road? And his strength... is a hundred times more terrifying than the legends!

"It's impossible to win... Against an illusion master of this level, we'd be wiped out before we even got close!"

Qingna's mind, which had been clouded by her achievements, instantly cleared, replaced by deep despair and fear.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat! Immediately! Right now!"

Ao roared hoarsely at his remaining subordinates, "That's Uchiha Shisui! We've been discovered! This is a trap! Run!"

The Hidden Mist ninjas who were initially confused heard the name "Uchiha Shisui" and saw their comrades still convulsing on the ground. They were terrified, their high morale collapsed instantly, and they turned to scatter and flee.

at this time.

"Humph."

A chilling snort seemed to explode directly in the depths of Qing's mind, as clear as if the person were standing right next to his ear.

"They're scared out of their wits before they even see them? Is this what they call the elite of the Hidden Mist?"

The voice was filled with the authority and disdain of a superior, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression that instantly froze the steps of all the Kirigakure ninjas who wanted to escape.

Qing turned around stiffly, cold sweat sliding down her cheeks to her chin.

"That sound...that feeling..."

To his horror, he discovered that his white eye was completely unable to detect the source of the voice, as if the other party was omnipresent, or as if the other party itself was part of this darkness.

This is definitely not Uchiha Shisui.

This is a monster that is more mysterious and more dangerous than Shisui, and may even come from some unspeakable place within the Hidden Mist...

"Who? Who is it?!"

Ao's hands, gripping the kunai, trembled as he shouted at the empty forest.

"Shut up, you piece of trash."

The voice rang out again, filled with suffocating sarcasm, "Since you're here, go and die. The gates of Konoha have been opened for you. If you don't want to die by my hand, charge forward."

The night was as dark as ink, and danger lurked everywhere.

Ao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He gripped his kunai tightly, his white eye fixed on the figure that emerged from the shadows.

"Who?!"

"Useless trash, you can't even recognize me anymore?"

With a cold snort filled with arrogance and disdain, the figure gradually became clear. A signature purple vest, white hair, and the twin swords in his hand, shaped like an exaggerated flounder, radiated a chilling chakra aura.

"Ghost... Lord Ghost Lantern Qianyue?!"

Ao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Didn't the intelligence report say that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist perished together with Might Guy of Konoha at the border? How come Hozuki Chizuki is here?

At this moment, Zhang Hai transformed into Hozuki Chizuki, a mocking smile curving his lips. He slammed the twin swords Hiramekarei into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What? Surprised to see me?" Zhang Hai mimicked Qian Yue's cold and arrogant tone, his gaze sweeping over Qing and the trembling Kirigakure ninja behind him like a blade. "If I hadn't come, were you bunch of spineless cowards just planning to tuck your tails between your legs and run back to the village? Just because you were scared by a brat who hasn't even been weaned yet, you thought you could disgrace Kirigakure?!"

"No...no!" Qing hurriedly protested, cold sweat pouring down his face even more profusely. "Lady Qianyue, you've misunderstood! It's not that we're afraid of battle, it's just..."
