Chapter 47: Do You Think the Mizukage... is Still Sane?
As the last Jonin fell to Kakashi’s Raikiri, the elite Mist team was completely annihilated.
Only Terumi Mei, bound tightly by Kushina’s adamantine chains, was left. Her hands were immobilized, preventing her from forming hand seals, and she glared at them with resentment.
“Sealing Technique...”
Ignoring her piercing gaze, Kushina formed seals with her hands. Using a sealing tec...

“Two are standing in the trees, two hiding in the foliage. Judging by their chakra levels, there’s one jonin among them. No sensory ninja detected; we haven’t been exposed.”
After receiving Hyuga Fuji’s report, Kushina took the lead, charging directly toward the front.
The others followed close behind.
Under the Byakugan’s gaze, the positions of the Kirigakure ninjas were laid bare.
One jonin...

Hearing Minato’s words, Jiraiya glanced at Hyuga Fuji and murmured, “I heard you selected guards from both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans. He’s one of them, isn’t he?”
“Yes, Fuji is incredibly strong. He fought alongside me to take down the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.”
“Oh? You dealt with those troublesome guys?” Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and gave Hyuga Fuji an impressed look. “Not bad.”

His companion replied, "Maybe they’ve got a mission to deliver supplies to the frontlines. Why, do you think there’s an issue with the Hyuga clan?"
