Chương 278: Red Bean Squad Encounters Yang Cheng's Henchmen Squad

Shortly after Yang Cheng finished treating Yu Huo and implanting an artificial chakra meridian into him, making him a ninja, the Konoha Village guard team finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

Akakon-gai and Kenmei had received advance warning, so they prepared to catch the Konoha ninja off guard.

As the ships carrying the Konoha ninjas were about to reach the Land of the Sea, Akabane Armor and his men, who were lying in ambush, used Water Release ninjutsu to drag Anko's ship into a whirlpool.

Because the attack came suddenly, when the small boat was swept into the whirlpool, Anko only had time to use her Hidden Shadow Snake Hands to entangle Ino and Sakura. As for Naruto, he was unfortunately swept into the sea.

Red Bean and his friends originally wanted to dive down and rescue them immediately, but they were quickly stopped by Red Copper Armor and his group.

Akakon Kai and Kensuke Misumi were somewhat surprised to see that among the ninjas escorted by the Sea Kingdom's hired ninjas, there was actually a Konoha Jonin.

Normally, a small fry like them would probably turn and run away when they saw a Konoha Jonin of that caliber.

But things are different now. They have powerful backers now. They're just Konoha Jonin, how could they be as powerful as the big shots behind them?

"Spiritualism I"

"" The copper armor, which had bitten its finger, and the sword, Misumi, simultaneously performed a summoning technique on the sea surface.

Just as Hongdou and the others were on guard, Ino and the others discovered that what the two summoned was not some kind of spirit beast, but two people wearing white coats who looked exactly alike!

No, to be precise, there are some differences between the two people.

One of its eyes was completely black, and its skin was covered with numerous cracks, like shattered porcelain.

As for the other one, it had very obvious stitches on its neck, and its body surface even emitted a visible dark aura.

These two people showed absolutely no signs of life!

Having already studied medical ninjutsu with Tsunade for some time, Sakura, as a trainee medical ninja, immediately recognized from her experience that the two people in front of her were not living people.

When Anko saw the resurrected Dr. Tenchi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, her eyes immediately turned fierce as she exclaimed, "It's the Impure World Reincarnation technique! It really was Orochimaru who was behind this!"

Anko was naturally familiar with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, after all, she had directly confronted Orochimaru during the Konoha Crush, so she had seen the First and Second Hokage who had been impurely resurrected.

When Anko saw Tenchi in his Edo Tensei state, she naturally concluded that Orochimaru was indeed behind the Sea Demon incident.

Dr. Tenchi, who was resurrected using Edo Tenjuro, was not strong. It wasn't that he couldn't unleash his full power because he was resurrected using Edo Tenjuro, but rather that he was originally quite weak.

However, another Dr. Tenchi, who looked exactly like Dr. Tenchi but seemed to have no soul or body, proved to be quite troublesome for Anko after they fought together.

Although the opponent appeared to be devoid of thought, like a mere corpse, their combat skills were quite remarkable, almost instinctive.

Moreover, the opponent's body was as hard as steel. Not to mention kunai and shuriken, even her Hidden Shadow Snake Hand poison could not break through the opponent's skin. The body was as hard as "Steel Release" and the speed was as amazing as "Swift Release". Not only could it use ninjutsu of various attributes, but its vitality was also extremely tenacious. Even if it was seriously injured, it could continue to fight as if nothing had happened.

Leaving aside Anko and Ino for the moment, Ino and Sakura had never seen anything like this before, and they both exclaimed in amazement at what kind of monster this was!

Despite being rubbed and pressed down by Anko, Dr. Tenchi, who had been resurrected through Edo Tenjin, exclaimed with considerable excitement, "This is truly the pinnacle of biological modification technology!"

Although I wasn't the one who created this weapon, the material used was my body.

Moreover, what you are seeing now is the full power of that modified weapon!

That person is simply a genius. I, Dr. Tianzhi, have been researching bioengineering technology for so long, but since meeting him, I have realized what it means to be outdone by others and to be truly enlightened!

, Hearing Dr. Tenchi's excited words, Ino and Sakura felt a chill run down their spines.

They were afraid, not because Dr. Tianzhi was so powerful, but because they thought he was just too crazy.

At first, they thought that the resurrected Tenchi and the other one who was modified were twin brothers or something like that.

It turned out that he had been killed, his soul was used for reincarnation, and even his body was used for modification.

As a result, when faced with such a mortal enemy, Tianzhi harbored no resentment towards him whatsoever; on the contrary, he seemed to admire him greatly.

Seeing their modified bodies, and even showing a constant sense of pride, made Ino and the others feel a chill run down their spines.

As Anko clashed with the modified Tenchi's fist using a kunai, producing a metallic clang, she retreated back to Sakura and Ino's side.

"Orochimaru's subordinates are all like this, nothing surprising."

As Orochimaru's former personal disciple, Anko had been taken to many of Orochimaru's strongholds by him, so she knew that many of Orochimaru's subordinates were devoted to him and worshipped him like a faith.

"Anko-sensei, Naruto was just swept into the sea and hasn't come back yet—" Sakura was worried about Naruto's safety and wanted to dive into the water to search for him, but she and Ino were stopped by Akabane Armor and Misumi Kenshin.

"I'll buy you some time. You go into the water to look for Naruto. Whether you find him or not, you must retreat in ten minutes and then meet at the agreed location."

With Ino and Sakura's limited strength and Naruto's uncertain fate, Anko has no choice but to prepare to use the power of the cursed seal in order to break the deadlock.

Since Yang Cheng improved the "Heavenly Curse Mark" on her body, the Curse Mark state has become one of Hongdou's trump cards.

Although she has gotten rid of the side effects such as losing her mind and pain, Red Bean, who can use the cursed seal, will enter a state of weakness for a certain period of time after using the cursed seal.

This is why she made Ino and Sakura retreat.

If she uses the cursed seal and is unable to defeat the enemy in front of her, she will be able to protect herself while in a weakened state, but she will be unable to take care of Sakura and the others.

With the cursed seal activated, Anko sprouted demonic bat wings from her back, her eyes turned crimson, and even her already curvaceous figure became even more alluring, rivaling even Tsunade, the ninja world's number one bust.

Sakura and Ino were both taken aback when they saw Anko, whose body was filled with dark, dense energy, making her look like a female demon.

"What are you standing there for? Get back to the plan!"

Hongdou's sharp shout snapped Sakura and the other girl out of their daze, and they immediately plunged into the water.

The two men in red copper armor tried to stop them, but were swatted away by Red Bean, who was in cursed state!
