The Chapter get Retranslated
It was too quiet all around, even the sounds of birds and cicadas had disappeared. The entire forest was extremely silent. Unbeknownst to anyone, Mizu's dark pupils behind his mask had transformed into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
His deep crimson eyes seemed capable of piercing through layers of obstruction, clearly discerning enemies hidden amongst the dense trees.
Blue Chakra points were clearly captured by Mizu's Sharingan. After all, the Sharingan could see the Chakra within an enemy's body. To Mizu, enemies that seemed deeply hidden were completely exposed in his sight; their Chakra was a living target.
As his body grew, the advantages of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline gradually became apparent. The trend of his Chakra increase had completely surpassed that of ordinary ninjas.
Although he was only fourteen, his Chakra reserves already far exceeded those of a Jonin-level ninja, even by more than double, and were not inferior to a Kage-level Chakra amount.
Mizu now understood how terrifying the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline was. Leaving aside the issue of their long lifespan, just their Chakra reserves alone completely surpassed all Ninja Clans except the Senju Clan, making them monstrous.
So now, even keeping his Sharingan activated at all times was extremely easy for Mizu. Although maintaining the Sharingan consumed a lot of Chakra, it was nothing to Mizu, who possessed an enormous amount of Chakra.
However, Mizu didn't want to expose his Sharingan yet. Although he wasn't afraid of Konoha, he didn't want to cause trouble right now. But he would go to Konoha eventually; a bold plan was slowly brewing in his heart.
"Maintain formation cautiously!!!!" At this moment, Might Guy also stopped his humorous antics and shouted seriously at several Chunin. "Understood!!!" The three Chunin also looked grave, their hands already holding Kunai, ready to guard the team from all sides.
Mizu also drew a Kunai from his ninja tool bag at his lower back, gripping it in his hand. The Sharingan behind his mask emitted a crimson glow, and the Three Tomoe slowly rotated within his eyes.
"One, two, three, four... eleven!!" Mizu counted silently in his mind as he observed with his Sharingan.
"Judging by their Chakra levels, each point's Chakra is above Chunin. They don't seem to be Shadow Clones, which means there are eleven enemies in total.
However, it's also possible that there are enemies hidden further away and more covertly that I haven't discovered." Mizu immediately made a judgment in his mind.
After all, the Sharingan wasn't the Byakugan; its observational ability was limited to the immediate surroundings.
This was the edge of the forest, but they hadn't left its confines yet. The main road had disappeared, and ahead was only a small path, flanked not only by tall, towering trees but also by dense thickets of bushes.
Might Guy's face was solemn, no longer showing his previous humorous expression. His muscles were tense, prepared for any sudden ambush. The Chunin were also surrounding the cargo, vigilantly on guard.
Kurenai Yuhi, being a Genjutsu Ninja, was positioned inside the team, responsible for protecting the principal, Matsumoto Akira. She also held a Kunai and stood with the other guards beside Matsumoto Akira's carriage, keeping watch on their surroundings.
"Kurenai Jonin, is something wrong?" Matsumoto Akira nervously asked, pulling open the carriage curtain and sticking his head out.
"It's highly likely that enemies are hidden around here, intending to attack the caravan. But please rest assured, we will protect your cargo and your life," Kurenai Yuhi said solemnly.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, a determined look flashed across Matsumoto Akira's face as he said seriously, "Then I'll leave it to you!!!"
"Although I know the number of enemies, I don't know their objective. Is it the cargo? Or Mr. Matsumoto? But it doesn't matter who their target is, my mission is to defeat these enemies, and passive defense is not my style!!!" Mizu thought to himself, a cold smile forming behind his mask.
With that thought, Mizu's figure instantly vanished from his spot, surprising the others. "So fast!!" Everyone thought in their hearts.
"Hey!!! Don't move around recklessly!!! You'll break the protective formation!!!" one of the Konoha Chunin angrily shouted at Mizu.
However, Mizu completely ignored him. His body instantly transformed into a black shadow and rushed into the thicket. The Kunai in his hand glinted with a cold light. Activating the Body Flicker Technique at full power, his body became a black afterimage, weaving through the forest.
He instantly appeared beside a lurking ninja who hadn't yet reacted. "What!!! You...!!" The masked ninja's face changed drastically, but Mizu's speed was faster. He struck with a swift cut, "Puff!!!" The sharp Kunai instantly slit his throat.
Mizu didn't even look back, his body instantly vanishing from his spot again. However, the others noticed what had happened.
"Oh no!!!" The remaining ninjas were greatly alarmed. They had been focused on observing the caravan, but because Mizu was at the very back of the caravan and well-hidden,
and they hadn't expected Mizu to have already discovered their positions, coupled with Mizu's incredibly fast speed, they simply couldn't keep up with him with their strength.
"Puff!!! Puff!! Puff!!!" Blood splattered as three more ninjas had their throats slit by Mizu in a surprise attack.
"Damn it!! Boss!! He's too fast!! We can't keep up with his speed in this dense jungle!!!" another ninja said in a panic.
They hadn't expected that the very terrain they used to hide themselves would be turned against them for assassination. Of course, that only worked if you knew their location in the first place.
"Everyone, retreat from the thicket!!!" The leader of the ninjas, an experienced one, immediately shouted at the others.
"Puff!!!" Another ninja was directly pierced through the heart by Mizu's Kunai. "Damn it!!! Who is he!!!" The ninja leader was furious and shocked.
"Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!!" Several black figures instantly leaped out from the dense thicket, appearing on the main road. At this moment, Might Guy and the others also saw them.
