Chapter 568: Yecheng: Tell Uchiha Sasuke, I'll be coming for him soon.
Rin's medical ninjutsu was something she learned from Yecheng, and her dream was to become a female ninja like Tsunade. Naturally, she admired Yecheng, who was Tsunade's disciple.
The thick mist around them grew denser, quickly reaching a point where one couldn't see their fingers in front of their face.
Hidden within the shadows, the Mist Hidden Village's Jonin was also waiting for the right moment to strike. At this moment, he was hesitating between abandoning his mission and retreating or choosing to fight to the death.
The enemy's reinforcements consisted of only one Jonin, so theoretically, with the Mist Village's signature ninjutsu, Mist Concealment Technique, he might not lose.
However, the Konoha Jonin who had just arrived gave him an incredibly ominous feeling.
Due to his caution, he had planned to kill the Konoha Genin earlier, and he had only sent out a Water Clone, while his real body had hidden within a nearby tree during Kakashi's battle with the two Chunin.
Even though his real body was paying close attention to every move in the field, he hadn't sensed how the opponent had appeared behind his Water Clone.
Despite keeping a close eye on the Water Clone, the opponent's figure seemed to appear out of thin air like a ghost, without any warning, and directly struck him with a knife.
This ghostly and mysterious method left the Mist Jonin perplexed, unsure of what technique the opponent had used.
Moreover, he could confirm that even if it had been his real body in the field earlier, the outcome would have been no different from that of the Water Clone when faced with the sudden strike from behind.
After hesitating for a moment, the Mist Jonin decided to retreat.
After all, the previous Konoha Jonin had given him an eerie feeling, and now, with the Mist Concealment Technique, he could fight and retreat as he pleased. There was no need to stay and risk his life.
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, hidden in the thick mist, a smiling face with a raised corner of its mouth suddenly appeared before him without any warning!
"Brother, I've been waiting for you to make your move over there. I was thinking of showing off in front of some smelly brat, but you created such a thick mist and then used it to run away?"
The sudden appearance of Yecheng almost gave the Mist Jonin a heart attack. He quickly formed hand seals, and his body vanished again into the thick mist.
If the previous Mist Jonin had been hesitating between fighting and retreating, the current one had already made up his mind to retreat.
The fact that the opponent had appeared behind his Water Clone earlier was one thing, but this time, he had even used the Mist Concealment Technique, and the opponent had still found him, appearing mysteriously behind him again.
The Mist Jonin was now utterly confused; he couldn't tell if the Mist Concealment Technique was something he had used or if the opponent had used it.
Using the thick mist to block the enemy's line of sight, then hiding in the mist and appearing mysteriously to disrupt the opponent's mindset, making them fully experience the fear of being hunted—shouldn't this be the Mist Village ninja's specialty? But now, he felt like he was the prey, the one whose mindset was being disrupted.
The so-called "Mist Concealment Technique" was completely useless against Yecheng, who could directly sense the opponent's aura.
In truth, Yecheng had known from the start that it was only a Water Clone that had appeared before Kakashi.
However, since it was clear that Rin and Kakashi's capture was part of a carefully planned conspiracy, Yecheng wanted to see if he could lure out any other characters, so he intentionally showed weakness to the enemy.
Unfortunately, a certain black jelly was exceptionally cautious. When he first arrived in the vicinity, he could vaguely sense his aura, but now he couldn't perceive it at all.
There were two possibilities: either Kaguya Otsutsuki's blood clot had left, or the other party's ability to conceal their aura was beyond his perception abilities.
After all, Kakuzu himself wasn't particularly strong in combat. The reason he had survived this long was due to his ability to conceal his aura.
Even the Six Paths Sage, who had sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki, had overlooked Kakuzu, which showed just how high his concealment skills were.
Without sensing Kakuzu's aura and considering how cautious the other party was, Yecheng didn't think he would be easily lured out, so he stopped playing along with the Mist Hidden Jonin in front of him.
Accompanied by an extremely powerful Water Style Ninjutsu, the Mist Hidden Jonin, who had been hidden in the thick fog, was now directly washed out by the gushing water.
He was still in a daze, wondering how Yecheng had used ninjutsu to accurately hit him within the dense fog.
But when he was washed out of the fog by the waterfall-like water, he was shocked by what he saw.
The other party didn't use Water Style Ninjutsu to accurately target him within the fog; instead, the attack range of their Water Style Ninjutsu was ridiculously large! A large lake had appeared out of nowhere in the original plain area, and the size of this lake directly exceeded the coverage of his Mist Concealment Technique!
In other words, regardless of where he had been hiding in the fog, it was pointless against such an exaggerated Water Style Ninjutsu.
Because the attack range of the other party's Water Style Ninjutsu was larger than his Mist Concealment Technique, he would be attacked no matter where he hid.
"Who the hell are you? Ordinary Konoha ninjas wouldn't possibly have such an exaggerated amount of chakra, right? Could it be that you're Konoha's Jinchuuriki?"
The Mist Hidden Jonin was stunned by the sudden formation of the large lake, and at this moment, he even felt that this Konoha ninja was more like a ninja from the Mist Village.
Not only was he at ease within the Mist Concealment Technique, but such a powerful Water Style Ninjutsu was something even the Mizukage might not be able to achieve!
"Senju Yecheng of the Senju Clan of Konoha, I'll tell you who's behind all this. Once I'm done here, I'll go and dig him out."
Yecheng's words were obviously not meant for the Mist Hidden Jonin in front of him but for the blood clot hidden in the shadows and the person controlling this Jonin.
As Yecheng finished speaking, the calm lake's surface churned with turbulent currents, piercing the body of the Mist Hidden Jonin in front of him.
From the beginning, Yecheng had sensed that on this Mist Hidden Jonin's body, there were traces of chakra from others besides his own.
If the Jonin wasn't a Jinchuuriki, then it meant he had fallen under some kind of Genjutsu or had been given some kind of suggestive illusion.
There was almost no need to say who was controlling the Jonin. Originally, Yecheng had been wondering how to find the other party, but now, based on the residual chakra from the Jonin's Genjutsu, he had a good idea of the other party's approximate location.
