Chapter 59 (Patreon)

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words of the Root shinobi.

They don't have anything to worry about as long as it's not an object.

“Let’s finish them off...” the squad captain whispered coldly, and then looked into the fog and exclaimed. “We are Konoha shinobi on a special mission, maybe there was some misunderstanding?”

"Konoha Shinobi?" – a calm voice came from the thick of the fog.

“Gotcha...” whispered one of the Root shinobi, having determined the exact location of the enemy along with his grinning comrades.

"You're the one who got caught, Konoha shinobi!" - but before he could finish, an unusually cold voice reached them!

And at that same moment, incomprehensibly, Ameyuri, who appeared nearby, excitedly launched one of the Thunder Swords at them, immediately after which she formed hand seals and whispered under her breath: “Thunder Sword Technique: Thunder Gate! Thunder Sword Technique: Thunderclap!!”

With a wave of the kunoichi's sword, the thick fog burst into a cascade of dazzling lightning, instantly rushing towards the four shinobi after another sword that had just been thrown!

"Doton: Earth Wall!" - then the Root shinobi screamed, hitting the ground with his palms, and erected an earthen wall in front of him.

Phew! Phew!

After this, the shinobi immediately ran away in different directions!

“Do you want to start a war?!” – one of them exclaimed angrily along the way.

"War?" – with a contemptuous grin, Ameyuri jumped straight onto the earthen wall and picked up the Thunder Sword, which had not yet fallen.

Do you want to take me with you? Yes please!

The kunoichi turned in the direction where the scream came from and slightly bent her knees, and after a short moment she instantly disappeared into the fog with arcs of lightning dancing around her legs.

Meanwhile, the shinobi, who had fled in the opposite direction, gradually moved forward, carefully looking around.

The almost impenetrable fog simply forced us to be careful.

Unfortunately, an inconspicuous stream of water on the ground escaped his gaze.

Pooh!

And as soon as the shinobi stepped into the water, it immediately took on human shape and fettered his movements. The hydrated Suigetsu then cold-bloodedly plunged a kunai into the enemy's heart.

Then the shinobi bulged his eyes in shock and convulsively spat out blood, literally in a matter of seconds ceasing to show signs of life.

"The fog... this is Kirigakure territory!" – Hozuki grinned, quietly placing his body on the ground, and again turned into a stream of water.

If Suigetsu adhered to the tactics of silent killing, then on the other side of the fog Ameyuri was blazing with dazzling lightning.

“Ahhhhh!!!” – there was a cry of pain in the thick of the fog and after a second it calmed down safely.

After that, blazing lightning rushed in the other direction.

At the very edge of the fog.

"Crap! Who was that? We’ll have to retreat...” the captain of the squad, the first to escape from the fog, said gloomily to himself when the dying cry of his subordinate was heard from behind.

The shinobi was about to run away, but then his gaze wavered, falling on the young man. The young man looked at him with interest, sitting on a large tree in front of the fog.

Then the captain immediately took out a kunai and prepared for battle.

“Oh, one escaped?” – suddenly a voice came from behind him.

When managed? The young men on the tree are already gone!

This sent a chill down the experienced shinobi's spine.

Yudao only shook his head when the taken aback squad captain turned sharply towards him with full readiness to fight to the last.

And just charged him with a click.

The poor shinobi didn't even have time to understand what was happening.

He simply felt a sharp headache and immediately lost consciousness.

Taking off his white mask, Yudao saw the face of an older man.

It is worth noting that the squad captain did not die from a blow, if it can even be called a blow, by the First Mizukage. He just got a severe concussion and probably became a bit of a fool.

Phew! Phew!

Just at that moment, with the sound of cutting fog, Suigetsu and Ameyuri appeared in front of Yudao.

- I got two! – declared the kunoichi, proudly raising her chin.

Which is why Suigetsu gnashed his teeth furiously, unable to find words, because he only had one to his name.

- Um, Yudao-sama? – Ameyuri couldn’t resist asking when she saw a man with a blank look next to him.

- So as not to get drunk. Besides, it’s easier to control such a fool with illusions,” Yudao looked with a smile at the idiotic face of the former squad captain.

Tazuna's house.

- Thank you, uncle. Without you, it would be very difficult for us,” Sakura’s quiet but polite voice rang out.

- No thanks at all. How could I not help? “You are, after all, Tazuna’s guests, and I stayed with him for a while,” a good-natured voice answered her and doubtfully asked, “have you really been attacked by enemy shinobi?”

“Yes, that’s right, we were attacked by a very cool shinobi nicknamed the Demon, but I still beat him with one left!” – Naruto's proud and energetic voice sounded.

- Wow, amazing! – the good-natured voice was surprised.

Soon Kakashi, who was lying next to him, woke up from their conversation and slowly raised his eyelid.

- Oh, Kakashi-sensei woke up! – Sasuke rejoiced, the first to pay attention to the recovered teacher.

Then Kakashi carefully rose and sat down, stroking his dizzy head with his hand. Looks like you went too far with the Sharingan?

“You’ve finally come to your senses, Kakashi-sensei!” – Naruto and Sakura happily echoed their teammate.

- Sorry. Made you worry...” Kakashi answered apologetically, looking around.

And he suddenly involuntarily squinted his eyes when he saw an unfamiliar man in simple clothes next to his employer Tazuna.

- Who is he? – Jounin asked with his characteristic indifference.

The restless Naruto immediately opened his mouth, about to introduce the stranger. But literally a moment later I froze with the realization that during their friendly conversation I didn’t even recognize his name.

“Hello, Mr. Shinobi, you can call me Yoshiro...” then the good-natured stranger himself answered Kakashi’s question.
