Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 221: The Powerful Mysterious Ninja!

The Eight Gates Formation had a clear restraining effect on these ghostly entities.

Especially since these ghost-like summoned creatures seemed to lack any intelligence—they charged recklessly the moment they saw them.

Meanwhile, Neji, who was guarding the carriage, was deep in thought.

"These strange summoned creatures seem more like ghosts, and their attacks are completely chaotic.

It's as if someone is driving them toward us."

Neji voiced his thoughts, analyzing the ghostly entities that resembled summoned beasts.

"How is that possible?! If someone is actually controlling these monsters, that would be way too terrifying!"

Tenten couldn't believe it. There were just too many of these creatures.

If it weren't for Might Guy and Lee, they might have already been overwhelmed.

At that moment, Neji's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Tenten, who was nearby, immediately noticed.

"What's wrong, Neji?! What happened?!"

She asked anxiously, while Neji furrowed his brows tightly before slowly speaking:

"There's someone over there with an enormous amount of chakra... No, wait, that's not chakra. That person is a ghost!"

Neji spoke again, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

If it really was a ghost, then that would be the most troublesome opponent.

Only Lee and Might Guy could actually deal damage to ghosts.

As for the rest of them, they wouldn't be able to harm it at all.

After all, they didn't know Senjutsu, nor did they wield Zanpakutō.

Against ghosts, they could only serve as cannon fodder—or perhaps not even that!

Hearing Neji's words, Tenten's expression also darkened.

If their enemy really was a ghost, then her attacks would be completely useless!

"Wait, something's not right! There are two of them! A ninja and a ghost!"

Neji suddenly corrected himself.

Through his Byakugan, he could see that it wasn't just a ghost—there was also a ninja!

Just as Tenten was about to ask something, Neji spoke again.

"That ninja is approaching… and they're strong. The chakra inside them is astonishing!"

Hearing Neji's warning, Tenten looked up, and sure enough—

A masked ninja had appeared!

"The statue belongs to us. If you two know what's good for you, step aside.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The ninja's tone was arrogant, showing no regard for Neji or Tenten.

Sweat formed on Neji's forehead.

This guy was strong—far from an ordinary opponent.

As Neji considered how to deal with the situation, Tenten suddenly made her move!

"Heeya!"

With a loud cry, she unfurled a scroll, launching a barrage of ninja tools!

Watching the incoming weapons, the masked ninja scoffed.

"Tricks like these?"

The next second, he pulled out a kunai.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sounds of metal clashing filled the air.

Incredibly, Tenten's attack had been completely neutralized!

"How is this possible?!"

Tenten muttered in disbelief.

Neji, however, had already charged forward.

"Gentle Fist!"

With his Byakugan, Neji targeted the opponent's weakest defensive point.

If his strike landed, he could throw the enemy into his attack rhythm—

And once that happened, he would have the upper hand!

He had already envisioned the outcome in his mind.

However—

Pa!

The masked ninja effortlessly caught Neji's wrist!

"You're fast, but compared to me, you're still far behind.

Now, let me send you on your way!"

The ninja sneered, raising his kunai to slash Neji's throat.

Fortunately, Tenten rushed forward at that moment!

With a swift swing of her nunchaku, she blocked the attack.

Neji took the opportunity to leap back and deliver a kick toward the ninja.

With their combined efforts, Neji finally broke free from the enemy's grasp.

The masked ninja retreated a few steps and formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Great Wind Breakthrough!"

With a loud shout, an invisible gust surged forward!

Although the attack was invisible to the naked eye, Neji's Byakugan saw it clearly.

If an attack was made of chakra, it was as bright as the sun in his eyes.

However, when Neji realized the attack wasn't aimed at him—his expression changed.

"Tenten, watch out!"

Neji shouted, but it was already too late!

Even though Tenten reacted instantly, the Wind Release jutsu was just too fast.

She couldn't dodge in time and was struck.

A gaping wound appeared on her shoulder.

"Aww, it missed. But next time, you won't be so lucky!"

The ninja joked.

In truth, his attack had been slightly off because Tenten moved at the last second.

If she had been just a little faster, she might have dodged it entirely.

"Since that didn't work, let's try this instead!

Wind Release: Tempest Severing Gale!"
