The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 752 Under the Blade

He swiftly used Earth Release: Hardening Technique to forcefully block Shuiyue's incredibly sharp horizontal slash.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he suddenly withdrew and threw a punch, slamming it hard onto Shuiyue's head.

In an instant, Shuiyue's head was smashed into a puddle of water, while Budongxin used the force of the blow to quickly fly backward.

At the same time, Bu Dongxin quickly formed hand seals and then slammed his palms into the ground.

With his movement, a muffled thud was heard.

Earth Release: Ant Hell!

The solid ground beneath Shuiyue's feet suddenly began to spin violently and sink continuously, as if the surrounding area had turned into a flowing sand dune, constantly converging towards the center.

Just then, Shuiyue's head, which had just been scattered into clear water, reformed.

As he realized he was gradually sinking deeper into this bizarre trap, he couldn't help but reveal a mouthful of sharp, small teeth, and said viciously:

"Hmph! You're unlucky to have run into me!"

After saying that, Shuiyue's entire body suddenly turned into a pool of water, which seeped into the depths of the earth without any hindrance.

Clearly, techniques like Ant Hell cannot truly trap him, who possesses the ability to transform into water.

However, for Bu Dong, gaining such a brief respite is enough.

Taking advantage of the moment when Shuiyue used her water transformation technique to dive down, Bu Dongxin suddenly turned around and sped away into the distance without hesitation, trying to escape this dangerous place.

But just then, the rock wall of the trap he had carefully set up suddenly broke open with a large hole without warning!

In an instant, a figure shot in like a ghost.

It was a white-haired, masked member of the ANBU, the short knife he gripped tightly in his hand already drawn, gleaming with a chilling light.

He flashed forward and slashed at the unmoving chest with lightning speed.

Faced with this sudden and fatal blow, Bu Dong's expression changed drastically, but he did not panic.

He let out a furious shout and his hands quickly formed a hand seal:

"Earth Release: Hardening Technique!"

Instantly, a strange power surged from his body and quickly covered the surface of his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of grayish color appeared on his skin, as if he were wearing an indestructible armor.

However, despite using defensive ninjutsu, Fudo was still unable to withstand the fierce attack of the ANBU member.

With a piercing "squeak," the short sword cleaved through his hardening spell, leaving a horrifying, gaping gash in his chest.

Fresh blood gushed out, staining the ground in front of him red.

Bu Dong was shocked. He never expected that a mere member of the Dark Guard could so easily break through his proud Hardening Technique with a single strike!

What shocked him even more was that before he could react,

The member of the secret service retreated a step as fast as lightning, then pushed off the ground with both feet and charged towards him fiercely again like an arrow released from a bow.

This time, the cold, sharp blade flashed like a venomous snake's tongue, slashing straight at the vital spot on the unmoving neck.

Never before had I witnessed such a swift and unstoppable attack speed.

At that moment, he had no time to think of a countermeasure; he could only subconsciously raise his hands and try his best to assume a defensive posture.

With a soft "whoosh!" sound, the blade flashed mercilessly.

A sharp, piercing pain instantly spread throughout his body. To his horror, he discovered that one of his arms had been flung off, tracing a bloody arc in the air before crashing to the ground.

At the same time, his neck was also severely injured, almost severed in half, and a large amount of blood gushed out, splattering everywhere.

A wave of excruciating pain washed over him, and blood gushed from the wound like a fountain.

Without moving, I felt my vision go black and my body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but could only let out a low, hoarse "ho" before falling backward like a lump of mud, crashing heavily to the ground.

Just then, Shuiyue, who had been hiding to the side, finally crawled out of the dusty ground with great difficulty.

When he saw that Bu Dong had died in just two moves, he couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.

You should know that he had fought the enemy for a long time but was unable to defeat him.

Shuiyue composed herself, quickly walked to Baiya, and respectfully asked:

"Senior, how did you break through his defenses so easily?"

Although Shuiyue knew the identity of this powerful figure, he did not dare to call him by name rashly because there were other people present.

Baiya slowly sheathed his longsword, his gaze calmly falling on the powerful Water Arm technique that Shuiyue had just used.

He shook his head slightly and said softly, "Simply possessing great strength is not enough to truly master swordsmanship."

He paused, then continued to explain:

"In swordsmanship, it is not only about the application of strength and skill, but more importantly, it is about infusing one's spirit into it. Only in this way can the essence of swordsmanship be brought out."

After hearing this, Shuiyue scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly; he was the type whose cerebral cortex was very smooth.

Although he was exceptionally talented, in front of a master like White Fang, he seemed like a novice who had just started learning.

After all, he was only seventeen years old. Although he had extraordinary talent, he still had a long way to go in the cultivation of swordsmanship.

Looking at Shuiyue's somewhat immature and inexperienced appearance, Baiya sighed softly and shook his head helplessly, saying:

"Forget it, you should focus on mastering those basic skills first."

Although White Fang has been resurrected for many years, he has always remained hidden in the shadows, working silently.

Aside from completing the tasks assigned by the Dark Division, he devoted most of his time to honing his swordsmanship.

Within the Dark Side organization, although people know of the existence of this exceptionally skilled swordsman, no one truly knows his real identity.

Just as the fierce battle here had come to an end, suddenly, a deafening roar entered everyone's ears without warning.

The sound was like rolling thunder, resounding through the sky—BOOM!

Immediately following this loud bang, a series of extremely arrogant laughs echoed from the other side of the city wall:

"Hehehe!"

From the other side of the city wall came continuous booming sounds and the arrogant cries of Shukaku.

Upon hearing this commotion, Bai Ya's expression hardened, and he quickly slid the long sword he was gripping into the scabbard at his waist.

Then, he made two simple and clear hand gestures to his comrades in the Dark Guard beside him.

After receiving the instructions, the members of the secret service nodded knowingly and then tacitly dispersed to carry out their respective tasks.

After doing all that, White Fang flashed and sped off like an arrow toward the damaged part of the city wall.
