Chapter 153: Mist Ninja Begging for Mercy?
The maniacal laughter still echoed in Koshino's ears.
However, the Mist Ninja Jonin, who was Koshino's target, was laughing wildly as he knelt in a pool of blood, gradually losing the breath of life.
He was dead! Or rather, from the moment Koshino set his first target to kill, that Mist Ninja Jonin was already as good as dead! However, the death of the first Mist Ninja Jonin seemed insignificant in the mission of Koshino and Uchiha Shisui.
After all, there were still three Jonin left on the Mist side. If they couldn't kill these three Mist Ninja, all their previous efforts would be in vain. After all, Jonin are the truly important combat power during a ninja war!
But it was precisely the death of the first Mist Ninja Jonin that left the remaining three Mist Ninja Jonin with no will to fight!
Even those three Mist Ninja Jonin, who were from the "Bloody Mist" era and had been tempered by the Third Shinobi World War, were filled with fear at the sight of their comrade's death!
And the reason was simple!
They were terrified because their Jonin comrade had died from a genjutsu!
A very terrifying genjutsu!
And the genjutsu that struck fear into the remaining three Mist Ninja Jonin was a new secret technique used by Uchiha Shisui with his Sharingan!
A genjutsu that could invisibly change a person's will!
Clearly, it was because of Uchiha Shisui's new secret technique, which could only be used with the Sharingan, that allowed Koshino to kill a Mist Ninja Jonin with ease by using the Swift Wind Blade in conjunction with the Wind Body Flicker Technique.
Otherwise, even if Koshino could defeat the Mist Ninja Jonin in front of him and kill him, it wouldn't have been as easy as it was now.
After all, there were still three other Mist Ninja Jonin eyeing him, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack and eliminate Koshino and Uchiha Shisui from the Sharp Blade Squad!
As for the process of Koshino killing that Mist Ninja Jonin with the help of Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu, it was truly very simple!
In an instant, Uchiha Shisui used his Sharingan to cast that fearsome genjutsu, directly altering the will of the Mist Ninja Jonin Koshino wanted to kill.
So, when Koshino attacked with the Wind Body Flicker Technique, even without using the Swift Wind Blade, the Mist Ninja Jonin saw Koshino's attack and, in his own mind, believed he had dodged it, laughing wildly as he prepared to take Koshino's life.
Little did he know, everything he saw was just an illusion.
Then, when Koshino truly used the Swift Wind Blade, the Mist Ninja Jonin naturally couldn't dodge it. After all, in his mind, he had already dodged Koshino's Swift Wind Blade and didn't need to worry about Koshino's offensive anymore.
And so, that was the entire process of Koshino killing the Mist Ninja Jonin.
As mentioned before, it was very simple.
But within that simplicity lay immense terror!
Even Koshino, as Uchiha Shisui's companion, silently marveled as he killed the Mist Ninja Jonin:
"In the original story, Shisui was known as the strongest genjutsu user. Back then, I thought Shisui's genjutsu was powerful solely because of 'Kotoamatsukami.'"
"Turns out, even before Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his genjutsu skills were already highly advanced!"
"Especially the genjutsu Shisui just used, which can change a person's will. I also thought that was an ability Shisui gained after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"Who would have thought..."
"Who would have thought!"
"Even with his Sharingan still at the three-tomoe stage, Shisui had already begun to master that kind of genjutsu that can change a person's will!"
"And the initial effect is already this good!"
With these thoughts in mind, Koshino glanced at Uchiha Shisui with the corner of his eye, full of awe.
However, before Koshino could dwell too long in his amazement, Uchiha Shisui's face broke into a bitter smile. He quickly communicated mentally, saying, "Shadow, quickly deal with the remaining three Mist Ninja!"
"I... I'm running out of strength!"
"Alright!"
Responding through the Shadow Communication Technique, Koshino maintained his use of the Gale Style Blade and once again utilized the Wind Body Flicker.
"Swish!"
It was still the wind blade produced by the Gale Style Blade, and it was still the same attack method as before.
Under Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu, Koshino was able to kill two Mist Jōnin in succession, just like he had previously done with the Mist Chūnin.
This was something Koshino could never have imagined before.
But with Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu, Koshino was able to accomplish what he had never dared to dream of with ease.
No wonder, after hearing Uchiha Shisui's plan, Koshino had to admit that Shisui's new secret technique could indeed change the course of battle!
Even now, with Uchiha Shisui's powerful genjutsu, the difficult situation where Koshino had to face four Mist Jōnin alone became surprisingly simple!
Of course.
At this moment, without the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Shisui was still taking a certain risk by using his three-tomoe Sharingan to perform genjutsu that could alter others' wills.
Then, after Koshino had consecutively slain two Mist Jōnin, just as his eyes gleamed with confidence and he was about to swiftly kill the remaining two Mist Jōnin, he heard a "pop" sound.
The two Mist Jōnin in front of him, who had appeared confused, suddenly had their eyes clear up.
That was undoubtedly due to Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu suddenly failing! Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui had managed to hold on long enough.
So, when Uchiha Shisui, having forced his Sharingan to cast such a will-altering genjutsu, suffered backlash and couldn't maintain the genjutsu, causing the two Mist Jōnin's eyes to clear and evade Koshino's killing blow, Koshino suddenly steeled himself.
He directly abandoned his katana and switched to another Gale Style secret technique!
"Gale Style! Air Blade!"
"Crescent Moon Slash!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Suddenly abandoning the Gale Style Blade, Koshino did not suffer any backlash.
But after giving up the Gale Style Blade and suddenly using the Crescent Moon Slash from the Gale Style Air Blade, Koshino undoubtedly consumed a lot of chakra!
However, the chakra expenditure was well worth it, as the Air Blade: Crescent Moon Slash he used instantly severely injured the two Mist Jōnin just as they escaped Uchiha Shisui's control, causing them to fall heavily to the ground.
Even though they hadn't lost their lives, the two Mist Jōnin were clearly unable to continue fighting.
Yet, compared to the joy of seeing the two Mist Jōnin severely injured, Koshino was obviously more concerned about the backlash suffered by Uchiha Shisui behind him.
Fortunately, when Koshino and Uchiha Shisui used the Shadow Communication Technique, Uchiha Shisui was able to inform Koshino through mental communication that the backlash wasn't too severe.
He instructed Koshino to capture the two incapacitated Mist Jōnin and return to the camp as soon as possible.
Listening to Uchiha Shisui's instructions, Koshino nodded silently and prepared to take the two important Mist Jōnin prisoners back.
Unexpectedly, just as Koshino approached step by step, ready to sever the tendons of the two Mist Jōnin with his kunai to eliminate any hidden threats, a strange laughter echoed in Koshino's ears.
He saw the faces of the two Mist Jōnin in front of him suddenly turn ashen!
Especially as the strange laughter grew closer, the two Mist Jōnin, who had emerged from the "Bloody Mist" era, began to plead desperately in Koshino's direction!
"Please, Konoha's Anbu, spare us!!"
