Chapter 178: Chapter – 175 Crossing the Outer Wall
The Fact that Watanabe is dead is hard to change.
Even if Kuroto controls Watanabe's corpse with the Tenseigan Soul Descend or with the Puppet Technique, it would still be impossible to fool the Kumo delegation members as they might have arranged a secret code for the identification, which is something Kuroto doesn't know.
Therefore, Kuroto gave up that plan.
After all, Kumo ninjas aren't idiots, given that there are countless methods to manipulate the dead in the Shinobi World, therefore they too can figure out that the corpse is being controlled, so instead of wasting time taking such a huge risk, it is better to divert the most blame towards a third party and resolve the contradiction between Konoha and Kumo with a need of forced cooperation irrespective of their choice.
Anyway, as long as Watanabe didn't die in the Hyuga grounds and the person responsible for his death wasn't a Konoha shinobi, Kumo's conspiracy would be a failure.
When he heard the mysterious person mention the bounty on Watanabe's head, Kumo Jonin's heart tightened.
The Anbu squad captain on the side shouted furiously, "Damn it, you bastard, dare to sneak into Konoha!"
The leader of Kumo envoys was killed in Konoha, even if the deed wasn't done by a Konoha Shinobi, Konoha still has to be somewhat responsible for Watanabe's death, and now that Watanabe's death has been confirmed at the hands of a bounty hunter, the Anbu squad captain's heart was filled with indignation.
Looking at those fierce eyes under the Hawk Anbu Mask, Suijin lips curved and said playfully, "Who told Iwagakure to put such high bounty on his head? If you want to complain, do it to the Tsuchikage!"
As soon as Suijin said this, Kumo ninjas gritted their teeth in anger, "Iwagakure!"
Kumo's hatred towards Iwa is completely unmasked, after all, Kumo was betrayed by Iwa, as a result of which the Sandaime Raikage died in the hands of ten thousand Iwa Shinobi.
The Anbu squad leader didn't hesitate anymore, what he cared about now was to kill the mysterious man and recapture Watanabe's body.
The leader of the Kumo peace delegation was killed in Konoha once this news is spread out, although Konoha's reputation would be affected, this kind of thing is still inevitable given the situation, but if even the culprit responsible is not killed and the corpse isn't recovered then Konoha would completely lose its face.
Therefore, the Anbu squad leader silently signaled his colleague through routine gestures in order to kill the target.
Immediately, the two Anbu used the Body Flicker technique and rushed towards Suijin from both sides, Suijin just smiled lightly as he could easily make out every attack because he has already activated his Byakugan long ago.
At the same time, the Anbu squad leader with the Hawk Anbu Mask threw seven Kunai in a series.
If one was to observe very carefully; he would be able to notice that each of the Kunai was tied with a specially treated metal wire.
These metal wire not only have a very high tensile strength but also doesn't reflect any light, making it very difficult for any normal Shinobi to find them.
'Oh… so they are using formation: 324-AZ-12!' – Suijin is also an Anbu, therefore, he knows almost all these sets of Coordinated attack formations, after all, he too has practiced these attack formations many times, while conducting Anbu training so he also knows how to break-through them.
Suijin instantly threw several shurikens that accurately hit the incoming kunai while he simultaneously used the Body flicker technique to meet the incoming attack of the Anbu coming from the right.
The Anbu on the right was wielding a sword and waved it harshly.
This attack is just a feint, the purpose of which is to force Suijin back to his original place, i.e., the siege circle.
Suijin chuckled lightly and neither did he backed off nor dodged or hide or met the attack, just accelerated further.
"This!?" – The Anbu who waved his sword was surprised, after all, who would rush straight towards an oncoming sword slash?
But before he could recover and make a follow-up offensive, 'Bang!' he flew out with a muffled sound by being heavily punched on the cheek that even broke the Panda Anbu mask he wore, knocking him out in just one blow.
With the Panda knocked out, Suijin didn't stay there any longer and used the inertia of momentum that his body was in and directly exerted force on his toes and made a big jump to make a leap out of the encirclement and ran towards Konoha outer wall.
While all this happened in a very short moment, the Hawk Anbu's face under the mask sank, after again instructing his subordinates to call for reinforcements and pass on the latest news to Hokage-Sama, he hurriedly took the other colleagues and chased after Suijin.
The other party was able to break through the Konoha Anbu's collective attack formation as if it was a piece of cake, this shows that either the other party is very familiar with the Anbu formations or is an exceptionally strong shinobi.
In either of the case, he can't be allowed to live anymore!
By now the situation is already far beyond what an Anbu squad leader can handle. He could only report the latest news to the Sandaime-Sama and wait for the reinforcements from the village.
Escaping out of the Anbu siege circle, Suijin came near the outer wall, after some ups and downs.
"Who!?"
The guards on duty immediately spotted Suijin and identified him as a suspicious individual based on the outfit he was wearing.
The Shinobi team responsible for guarding this section of the outer wall is also a four-man team, consisting of two chunin and two genins.
But what Suijin didn't expect was that of the two Chunin, one turned out to be Hyuga Yui, his fiancé, recognizing her, he couldn't help think silently, 'Uh… what should I do now!?'
Yui didn't recognize the identity of the mysterious person, immediately took on the Gentle Fist stance, and asked in a clear voice while the meridians around her eyes bulged, "Who are you?"
Suijin didn't answer but thought to himself, 'Can't let her get involved in this, in the first place, Yui is responsible for the internal Hyuga matters, so she shouldn't even be present here!'
Although Suijin was thinking this, that didn't stop his movements and within a fort few moments, he appeared near the two genins and knocked them out cold with furious fist strikes in the gut then immediately went towards the other chunin and knocked him out cold similarly.
In just a few short moments, the three other ninjas were lying unconscious.
Yui was shocked at the speed and strength the suspicious person displayed here and immediately rushed towards him.
As a member of the Hyuga Clan, Yui is naturally very apt in Gentle Fist Style taijutsu, so she tried to stall the other party.
But unfortunately for her, the person she was up against was much more experienced and had much more knowledge of the Hyuga Style Combat, not to mention he was much stronger compared to her, therefore all the strikes she made were either dodged or countered with minimal movements.
As the battle progressed, her breathing started to get rugged, taking this opportunity, Suijin immediately hit her abdomen with a palm strike, although Yui managed to bring her palm to greet the attack, however, the strength used by Suijin in that attack was much more than she initially estimated so was sent flying.
With a bang, she used the tree to stop herself and looked at Suijin with more caution.
Suijin knew this much wasn't enough to make her give up, but he can't be too hard on her…
So without waiting for her to rush towards him, he flickered before her and tapped at the back part of her neck with his hand, knocking her unconscious.
Suddenly losing consciousness, Yui fell forward and landed on Suijin's shoulder, out cold.
Picking her up lightly, Suijin gently laid her on the ground with her back resting on the tree trunk and muttered slowly, "Please forgive me Yui, if I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have given up…"
Being done with that he glanced at the increasingly noisy village and then jumped past the Konoha Outer Wall without looking back and moved outside the village.
At the bottom of his heart, he has already made up his mind, after this matter was over, he has to find a way to increase Yui's strength.
Although Yui has an innocent and kind nature, the Shinobi World is very cruel and doesn't care about innocent and kind people.
Yui has the potential to reach the elite Jonin level, but this isn't enough, her strength has to be much higher.
While Suijin was still thinking about Yui's matters, suddenly two figures stopped in front of him.
Both of them were dressed in Konoha's Anbu gear and Suijin was incredibly familiar with the two of them as they both were none other than the Dog and Monkey of the Team-11 he is part of.
Hatake Kakashi wearing the Dog mask took a closer look at the other party wearing a mysterious outfit and said coldly, "It's time you stop running, you won't be going any further from here!"
Might Guy, wearing the Monkey mask also said loudly, "You who wants to ruin the hard-won peace between the two nations, I will never allow you to extinguish the flames of youth of Konoha's future!"

Chapter 179: Chapter – 176 Dog and Monkey
With a depressed mood, Shisui wearing his Cat Anbu mask led the Shadow Clone that changed into the appearance of Hyuga Kuroto's Eagle Anbu guise and quietly returned to the Mansion where the Kumo delegation was officially staying at.
Currently, only two Kumo ninjas were left here while the rest followed Kumo's Jonin searching for Watanabe.
"Sigh, I was a step late!" – Cat frowned noticing that both Dog and Monkey were no longer in their position, implying that they too went in search for Watanabe.
Since it was a team task, and considering that the mansion Kumo envoys were staying in is pretty large, so Team-11 was divided into two teams, with Eagle and Cat in one team and Dog and Monkey in the other.
And since both Dog and Monkey are now gone, it could only mean that they went to search for Watanabe, shaking his head helplessly, Cat sighed, "I hope Kuroto-San wouldn't be blocked by the Captain Kakashi and Guy-San…"
…
In the forest beyond the outer wall of Konohagakure.
Suijin, who was stopped by Dog and Monkey Anbu folded his hands over his chest and chuckled, "You two, are you really confident that just the two of you can stop me!?"
Being provoked by Suijin's words, Monkey couldn't stomach his desire to fight.
"Calm down!" – But before he could move, Dog blocked him halfway while his eyes remained on Suijin.
The dog didn't rush to start the battle but first asked tentatively, "Who are you and why to kill Kumo's head ninja?"
"Heh, doesn't Konohagakure claims to be the strongest of the five great shinobi villages, so figure it out and find the details about me yourself!" – Dog wanted to speak something but was interrupted midway by Suijin who spoke after a pause with a soft chuckle, "You know it is useless to stall time and wait for the reinforcements to arrive because the result isn't going to change any better!"
When Suijin said that, Dog didn't wait anymore and immediately started printing hand seals and shouted, "Earth Release: Multiple Collapsing Earth Style Walls!"
Boom…
Instantly, Suijin was surrounded by walls from the four sides, the walls kept coming closer as if they intended to trap and kill, Suijin within it.
With the enemy's sight blocked, Dog again printed hand seals in coordination with the previous ones, Snake – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The fierce great fireball technique spurted by Dog shot towards the sky above the four earth walls.
With the speed at which Dog printed the hand seal, there was almost no break between the two ninjutsu, the intention of releasing the great fireball technique were naturally so that the moment the enemy tries to escape out of the siege of the collapsing four earth style walls, he would be burned to a crisp by the blazing hot fireball.
But unfortunately for Dog, Suijin has the Byakugan, so at the moment, Suijin was able to understand Dog's plan based on the hand seals and Chakra flow.
Therefore, he didn't make any attempt to jump upwards do to escape out of the siege of the collapsing walls.
Instead, he made the hand seals at the same time as Dog and shouted in low voice,
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
Splash…
A thin high-speed jet of water was sprayed out of Suijin's mouth and like a sharp knife, it easily cut through all the collapsing walls in small boulders.
At this moment, the sound of flicker echoed, and instantly Suijin ducked sideways to avoid the incoming kick from Monkey.
Boom…
The heavy kick, Monkey made was avoided by Suijin and since the kick was avoided, so Monkey rapidly kicked the rock boulders towards Suijin.
Between the incoming flying rock boulders towards him, Suijin's figure flickered and flashed across multiple points, dodging the rock pieces, the speed was so fast that it almost left multiple after images behind as he rushed out of the thrashed walls.
Suijin didn't choose to entangle with Monkey in close combat, the reason for this is simple, his Water Clone body is not as proficient in taijutsu that it could compare with Might Guy whose keenness in close-quarter taijutsu is so high that it's almost inexplicable, sometimes it makes him wonders whether Might Guy has some special ability that gives him insight comparable to that of a fully matured Sharingan, which is almost unreasonable.
With the embedded Sharingan in his left eye, Dog saw that Suijin rushed towards him, and he made no pause as, after just a few hand signs, dazzling lightning flickered with a piercing sound.
Chiiiiiiiiiirp…
The sharp sound of thousands of birds singing echoed throughout the forest as Dog also rushed towards Suijin.
Almost at the same time, the two figures rushed towards each other, their speed so fast that it seemed that they were teleporting.
Drip…
After the two figures passed each other, Suijin looked down and found that his arm was lightly rubbed by Dog's Chidori as a result of which, his sleeve was cut and a light trail of blood dripped down to the ground along the cuff.
On the other side, Dog staggered a few footsteps and half-kneeled on the ground as he coughed out blood from his mouth.
Monkey noticed that Dog was injured and instantly rushed towards him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Dog nodded but his left hand was still tightly clutched over his abdomen while the right hand had some blood over his fingers!
At this time Suijin turned around and looked down at Dog and Monkey and said with an impressed voice, "Unexpectedly, you were able to hurt me!"
Gritting his teeth, Dog stood up and once again repeated, "I said previously, you won't be able to escape!"
"Are you sure about that? It looks to me as if you are quite hurt a lot internally, you may try to cover it by putting on a tough guy act, but these water fists are quite damaging!" – Said Suijin as he lifted his hand to show the water present over his hand.
Suijin's attack was a bit similar to how Slug Sannin Senju Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Power works, however, it's also quite different from her style as instead of pure chakra that causes overall damage, Suijin uses high-pressure water that revolves around his fist directly inflects internal injury when using it with conjunction to the Byakugan's prowess.
"It doesn't matter, my injury is nothing, with the two of us here, you have no way of getting past us!" – said Dog, as he drew out his kunai and took the fighting stance.
"You said it, my friend, this is the way to go, we will not let the likes of you people let the youth of Konoha be wasted, now it's time for us to go full throttle and show them what Konoha Shinobi are capable of!" – Shouted monkey as he drew out the nan-chaks.
Looking at the two figures before him who were ready to fight to the death here, Hyuga Kuroto in his Suijin disguise was in a trance and suddenly remembered his ninja academy days.
…
Hyuga Patriarch's Mansion, in the Hyuga Clan grounds.
Hyuga Hiashi was sitting on a Zabuton and leisurely sipping tea while he was busy with some thoughts.
After hearing about what happened, the shocked Hyuga Hizashi hurried to his brother's mansion and noticed that the elder brother was calmly sitting, sipping on tea and busy in some thoughts, seeing this Hizashi was a little relieved and asked hurriedly, "What happened, why did Kumo delegation search through our clan grounds!?"
Upon being broken out of his thoughts, Hiashi sighed lightly and said, "Sit down, and have tea first."
Hizashi curtly sat down and poured himself some tea and took a sip.
But before, Hiashi could begin explaining, a shinobi of the Hyuga Clan appeared outside the room and said, "Patriarch-Sama, I have received the news, that the Kumo delegation and leading Anbu Black Ops found the leader in a forest zone near the eastern outer wall, the news states that the Kumo Head ninja Watanabe was attacked by a mysterious man!"
Hiashi nodded and ordered, "Continue investigating!"
"Yes!" – with that said the ninja disappeared.
However, Hizashi who sat on the side was shocked, since, Hiashi had ordered for any information about the even to not be spoken, nobody dared to explain to Hizashi therefore, the younger sibling was clueless and spoke hurriedly, "What, the leader of Kumo delegation was attacked by someone in the village!?"
Again, before Hiashi could begin explaining, another member of the Hyuga Clan appeared outside the room with the latest report, "Patriarch, the latest news, chasing Anbu failed to capture the mysterious man, and the other party seemed to have escaped past the outer wall!"
"Alright, continue!" – Hiashi nodded
Hearing this news, Hiashi sighed in relief and thought silently, 'Fortunately, Kuroto-Kun took care of the matter, otherwise, things would have become very problematic!'
If the body of Watanabe was to be found within the Hyuga Clan territory, then the consequences would have been unimaginable, and the Hyuga Clan might have got involved in the disaster.
However, Hizashi didn't know the story behind and he stood up hurriedly and stated, "Damn it, I'll go after him!"
Hiashi who had just taken a sip of tea lifted his cup and stopped Hizashi, and at this time another Hyuga ninja appeared outside the room with the report, "Hiashi-sama, Hokage-sama, himself has gone to hunt down the mysterious man responsible for attacking and killing Kumo Head Ninja!"
Puuufffff...
Hearing this news, the mouthful of tea was spat out in a panic…
