"Attack together!"
Kurenai Yuhi gave a low shout, exchanging a glance with Black Sha.
Human-Wolf Resonance — Passive activated.
In an instant, she felt Black Sha's heartbeat. That heartbeat was steady and powerful, gradually synchronizing with her own, finally merging into one.
In her field of vision, two images appeared.
One was her own, and the other was Black Sha's.
The movements of the Kumogakure Jonin, captured by the dual perspective, became incredibly clear — his grip on the blade, the rise and fall of his muscles, and even the direction of his next potential attack, all faintly emerged in her mind.
"Interesting."
The Kumogakure Jonin sneered, raising his blade to charge again!
The blade light was like lightning, slashing directly at Kurenai Yuhi's face!
Kurenai Yuhi did not dodge.
Because she knew that Black Sha had moved.
A massive black shadow pounced from the side, its sharp claws sweeping upward with the sound of breaking air! The speed was astonishing, completely unlike the speed a 2.5-meter giant wolf should have!
The Kumogakure Jonin's pupils constricted, and he forcibly withdrew his blade to block!
Clang —!
The sharp claws collided with the blade, sparks flying! The immense force numbed his hand!
Before he could even catch his breath, Kurenai Yuhi had already pressed forward!
A Kunai thrust directly at his throat!
He abruptly tilted his body, dodging by the narrowest of margins.
But Black Sha's second claw had already arrived!
Bang!
He blocked with his blade held horizontally, and his whole body was shaken back three steps! He stumbled under his feet, nearly falling!
"This is..."
He looked at the person and wolf before him in disbelief.
A Special Jonin, a Ninja Wolves.
They coordinated just like one person!
No, even more in sync than one person!
When he attacked Kurenai Yuhi, Black Sha would inevitably pounce from the side.
When he turned to face Black Sha, Kurenai Yuhi's Kunai would appear behind him.
Their attacks were like waves, one after another, continuous and flawless!
What was even more terrifying was —
They seemed to be able to predict his movements.
Just as he wanted to weave hand signs, Black Sha's claw would smack over.
Just as he wanted to retreat, Kurenai Yuhi's Kunai would seal his path of retreat.
It was as if...
They could read his mind!
"Damn it!"
The Kumogakure Jonin gritted his teeth and held on, using all his strength to swing his blade to force them back, taking advantage of the momentum to leap backward.
He panted heavily, three wounds already added to his body — one on his shoulder, one on his waist, and another on his calf.
And opposite him.
Kurenai Yuhi and Black Sha stood side by side.
Kurenai Yuhi's breathing was slightly rapid, but her red eyes were full of excited light. Black Sha licked the blood off its claws, its amber eyes staring fixedly at him, as if looking at a dying prey.
"So this is Human-Wolf Resonance?"
Kurenai Yuhi murmured.
She didn't even need to think.
Wherever she wanted to attack, Black Sha would pounce there.
When she sensed danger, Black Sha would block in front of her.
That kind of tacit understanding, that kind of synchronization —
It was like two beings sharing one heart, one pair of eyes, and one brain.
Black Sha turned its head to look at her and let out a low roar.
"Don't get distracted, it's not over yet."
Kurenai Yuhi smiled.
"Okay."
However, this time she did not use a Kunai.
After all — she was a Ninja who specialized in Genjutsu, not Taijutsu!
Now that she was clear on Black Sha's strength, she could entrust her back to Black Sha.
The moment her voice fell, Kurenai Yuhi moved.
She didn't rush forward, but took a step back.
This step perfectly increased the distance between her and Black Sha to five meters — the optimal combat range for Human-Wolf Resonance.
The Kumogakure Jonin frowned.
This wolf... and this woman, something was wrong.
But he had no time to think.
Black Sha had already pounced!
The massive 2.5-meter body was like black lightning, its sharp claws carrying the sound of breaking air, aiming straight for his throat!
The Kumogakure Jonin dodged to the side, while simultaneously slashing his blade toward Black Sha's waist and abdomen —
"Clang!"
The blade was deflected by the sharp claws.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The Kumogakure Jonin's pupils constricted.
This wolf's claws were impossibly hard.
Just at this moment —
"Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Hell Descending Jutsu."
Kurenai Yuhi's voice came from behind, as soft as a breeze.
The Kumogakure Jonin looked up abruptly.
But it was too late.
His vision instantly plunged into darkness.
It was an endless abyss, the wailing of countless souls, the root of all the fear from the people he had killed in his life, the companions who had killed him —
"Ah —!"
He let out a scream, his body trembling violently.
Black Sha slammed a claw into the Kumogakure Jonin's chest!
Pfft —!
Blood splattered.
The Kumogakure Jonin flew backward, crashing heavily into a rock ten meters away.
But he was a Jonin, after all.
The moment he landed, he used Chakra to forcibly break free from the Genjutsu.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Flash!"
Disregarding the sharp pain in his chest, he formed hand signs, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, aiming straight at Kurenai Yuhi!
Kurenai Yuhi did not dodge.
Because she knew —
Black Sha would block it.
Sure enough.
The black figure moved horizontally, steadily blocking in front of her.
The lightning struck Black Sha, exploding into a cluster of blue electric arcs.
Black Sha shuddered, smoke rising from its fur, but it didn't retreat a single step.
"Damn woman..." It roared lowly, its voice filled with pain, yet without blame.
"But this little bit of lightning is far worse than the Patriarch's; it's barely enough to scratch an itch for me!!"
Kurenai Yuhi smiled.
"Thank you."
She said softly, while her hands formed signs again.
The Kumogakure Jonin's pupils contracted.
Another Genjutsu?
He gritted his teeth, desperately circulating his Chakra, preparing to forcibly resist —
But this time, the target of Kurenai Yuhi's Genjutsu was not him.
"Genjutsu: Tree Bind Death."
A large tree behind him suddenly came to life!
Thick branches wound up like giant pythons, tightly binding the Kumogakure Jonin's legs, waist, and arms!
"What —!"
The Kumogakure Jonin was shocked.
Black Sha did not give him a chance to break free.
It exerted force with all four claws, turning into a streak of black lightning, slamming fiercely into him!
Boom —!!!
Before the Kumogakure Jonin could even scream, his entire body, along with the tree, was smashed to pieces.
On the other side, the battle was much simpler.
Great Remnant's massive gray shadow rampaged through the Kumogakure Ninjas like an out-of-control tank. He didn't need any intricate tactics — his 2.5-meter body length and Special Jonin-level strength were enough to crush them with brute force alone.
A Kumogakure Chunin gritted his teeth and rushed up, lightning flashing on his hands —
"Lightning Release —"
Before he could finish shouting.
"Bang!"
Great Remnant swiped a claw.
That Kumogakure Ninja flew sideways, crashing into a tree five meters away, vomiting blood, and never managed to stand up again.
Hinata stood behind Great Remnant, her Byakugan fully activated.
"Front left, he's going to use Substitution Jutsu!"
Great Remnant didn't even look, sweeping a claw across.
The Kumogakure Ninja, who was just about to perform the Substitution Jutsu, was swatted away along with the tree before he could even form hand signs.
"Behind! He jumped up!"
Great Remnant didn't even turn his head, his tail whipping out and hitting the Kumogakure Ninja's waist and abdomen squarely.
Pfft —!
Blood sprayed from his mouth.
Another one fell.
Hinata's Byakugan made every move of the Kumogakure Ninjas impossible to hide.
Substitution Jutsu? She could see the flow of Chakra.
Body Flicker Technique? She could capture the real body amidst the afterimages.
Lightning Release? Great Remnant didn't dodge at all, simply tanking the lightning and rushing over with a claw.
Those Kumogakure Ninjas were indeed good — proficient in the Three Basic Jutsu, solid in Taijutsu, and their Lightning Release was decent too.
But in front of the Byakugan, their movements were seen clearly.
In front of Great Remnant, their attacks were too weak.
One by one.
Two by two.
In less than three minutes, all four Kumogakure Chunin were lying on the ground.
Some were unconscious, some vomiting blood, and some were still twitching.
Great Remnant stood in place, shook his fur to shed the electric arcs, and snorted disdainfully.
"Is that it?"
Hinata poked her head out from behind him, looking at the Kumogakure Ninjas lying all over the ground, her small face filled with excited pink.
"Great Remnant, you're so amazing!"
Great Remnant turned his head to look at her.
"It's your eyes that are amazing."
He droned.
"Without your warning, I would have had to put in some effort."
Hinata was stunned for a moment.
Then, she smiled even more happily.
