Chapter 72
A kunai shot out from an unknown direction, and Neiki tilted his head to dodge it, signaling the beginning of a new round of battles.
"Lightning Sword Technique: Lightning Strike!" Lightning crackled along the blade as Neiki charged at Nara Suzaku without hesitation.
Seeing the two clash, Ao's eyes lit up. He then silently signaled his men to retreat, intending to let Neiki wear down the Konoha forces before launching an attack on Konoha.
"Shadow Imitation Technique!" Suzaku's shadow extended towards Neiki like a rapidly growing plant.
Neiki didn't back down, nor did his expression change. He simply threw two kunai, engraved with time-space marks, towards Suzaku.
"Tch," Suzaku muttered, keeping a mental note of the kunai's positions while maintaining a blank expression.
Just as Neiki was about to come into contact with Suzaku's shadow…
Neiki's figure vanished.
"Suzaku!" Yamanaka Masao shouted.
