Chapter 139: MSIN: Chapter 138

"I'll ask anyway. Did you get the Byakugan?"
Haori extended his left arm, circled his right arm around his left arm, then twisted his waist and pulled. As if he was preparing for some kind of exercise, he asked Yagura.
"We got it. It's a bit unfortunate for you, but I can tell you the truth. Our ninja who's carrying the Byakugan should have already returned to Kirigakure." Yagura said.
He was willing to reveal this information not because the baby-faced boy was a good person, but because there was no need to hide this information anymore. The Byakugan being brought back to Kirigakure meant that their mission had been a success. Could Konoha ninjas really charge into Kirigakure to retrieve the Byakugan?
If so, Kirigakure ninjas would welcome them warmly.
Besides, Haori was probably already dead in Yagura's eyes. So, there was no harm in fulfilling his last wishes.
Yagura didn't know that this thought of his was actually a flag. Setting up this flag meant that Haori couldn't possibly die now.
But it did answer Haori's question. Because the mission had been successful, that was why there was that signal. Then, this group of Kirigakure ninjas retreated from this place.
"How about we make a deal? Since everyone hasn't started fighting yet, how about we all go home? We don't have any personal grudges. Besides, you've already gotten what you wanted, and our mission has failed. Personally, I have no reason to continue fighting." Haori said, seemingly innocently. Is this something that can be negotiated?
This sounded familiar? Okay, he had said the same thing to Rōshi, and he ended up beating him into submission.
But this attitude of his made Yagura unable to imagine that this person had recently killed one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
In fact, Yagura didn't know this information. He only knew that Zabuza Momochi was dead, but he didn't know how he died or who killed him.
Even if Mei Terumi and Haku had hinted at a guess, it was something that couldn't be confirmed.
"You're a Konoha ninja, and I belong to Kirigakure. What you're saying is clearly impossible, isn't it?" Yagura replied with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes at all.
"Impossible, as expected." Haori replied in a disappointed tone.
"Are you finished preparing?"
It turned out that the reason Yagura hadn't made a move was that he was waiting for Haori to finish this ugly set of preparatory exercises.
"Wait!"
"I have one last personal question… You have a baby face, so I'll ask this boldly. How old are you this year? Otherwise, it feels like bullying a child when we fight."
Sometimes, you have to admit that Haori is good at provoking enemies, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
So, Yagura's answer to his question was that hook-shaped stick, thin at the front and thick at the back, with a flower on one hook.
And for the other party's "sudden attack," Haori was clearly prepared. He had a certain estimation of the effect of his words.
And a ninja like Yagura, who carried this kind of special weapon, could be roughly judged to be skilled in special taijutsu.
So, first, Haori chose to defend. Lightning flashed, and iron sand moved freely, attaching itself to his body… before the hook-stick hit him with force.
Yagura's first attack was aimed at Haori's ribs!
Haori blocked with his right arm, which was wrapped in iron sand. But it was obvious that he hadn't accurately estimated the force of the hook-stick. While blocking the enemy's attack, his arm was lifted high due to the force.
After failing with one attack, Yagura's weapon spun around, and the other end of the hook-stick attacked Haori's neck from the side.
Unfortunately, this vulnerable part of the human body would be crippled with one hit. Haori, of course, would defend it with priority. He piled layer upon layer of iron sand. Even if Yagura's tiger's mouth went numb, he couldn't break through Haori's defense.
But the two of them were now very close. Although Yagura was holding the weapon with both hands, his feet were free. So, following the principle of reusing idle limbs, he kicked Haori in the abdomen.
It seemed like Haori was now in a "helpless" state?
Did this guy awaken his M soul?
That's wrong. If he had to choose between S and M, Haori would definitely choose S. If he accidentally shook his hand when choosing, then he would be a sadist.
Although it seemed like he was passively taking a beating, Haori had perfectly defended himself. In fact, these attacks hadn't caused him any harm.
"Your moves are quite fast."
"Your attack is sharp and always aimed at the vital points for a one-hit kill."
"You have a baby face and short arms and legs, but your strength is surprisingly great."
This brief exchange gave Haori this information… Ordinary ninjas would use clones to gather information when facing unfamiliar enemies. But Haori dared to go in person.
The baby face's strength was indeed great. That kick just now had caused Haori to roll over and over on the water's surface.
Yagura didn't pursue. He was surprised by Haori's defensive method and its effect. He could see that his stick attacks hadn't caused any real damage.
"It's my turn now."
Haori got up from the sea as if nothing had happened, then charged towards Yagura's location!
But in front of Yagura, water had transformed into a round mirror, appearing out of thin air. Then, he used the hook on one end of the hook-stick to hook the upper edge of the mirror.
Haori saw another "himself" charging out of the mirror.
What the hell is this?
This is called Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!
That Haori was also charged with Chidori Flow's lightning. It was indeed an exact copy.
But this kind of imitation was useless against Haori.
Iron sand popped out from behind him, black as night. The high-frequency vibrating arrows were unstoppable.
Haori's face remained unchanged. He instantly smashed the imitation to pieces!
But because of this separation, Yagura's next attack was already coming!
It was still that hook-stick!
Haori also extended his right hand to block!
But this time, his arm wasn't knocked away. His hand, charged with lightning, firmly grasped the other party's weapon.
Then, it was as if Haori had removed all his limitations. In an instant, a huge lightning flower bloomed on the sea's surface.
The higher the power, the more difficult it is to control accurately, or rather, there's no need to control it accurately. Haori was violent and unrestrained at this time. The lightning was running wild on the sea's surface.
Then, Haori spoke again.
He said:
"Little kid, Uncle caught you!"
