"Sorry, you might not have realized yet. Not only are our minds synchronized—we can even share fields of vision!" The Two Waterfall Demons were very pleased; their eyes were fixed on Satoru.
The Two Waterfall Demons looked like their insidious plan had succeeded, and they couldn't hold back their laughter.
However, not even a second passed before the Two Waterfall Demons' laughter abruptly stopped.
"Where'd that brat Satoru go?!" They searched everywhere but couldn't find him.
In the next second, Satoru instantly appeared behind the Two Waterfall Demons.
"Discharge!" Without further ado, Satoru unleashed lightning power. High-voltage current instantly numbed the Two Waterfall Demons' bodies.
"What fast Body Flicker Technique?!" The Two Waterfall Demons' reactions weren't slow either. The moment they sensed danger, they flipped backward several times, barely dodging Satoru's lightning.
*Zzz!*
At that moment, the Two Waterfall Demons heard the sound of an activated explosive seal. Looking down, they saw a circle of explosive seals around their feet.
"Dodge faster!" The Two Waterfall Demons were stunned. They hadn't expected Satoru to predict their dodge spot in advance and hide explosive seals with a cloaking technique.
*Boom!*
The explosive seals detonated instantly. No matter how fast the Two Waterfall Demons' reactions, they couldn't fully evade the explosion—Satoru had calculated it all beforehand.
The Two Waterfall Demons' bodies collapsed to the ground. Smoke rose from them. It was clear they'd taken serious injuries. Even if they could barely fight, their power was definitely diminished.
"Damn! I didn't expect him to dominate the fight from the start!"
"He predicted everything in advance?!" The Two Waterfall Demons completely discarded their underestimation of Satoru.
As for Hyuga Seika nearby, his jaw dropped.
"This guy... is he really just a few years old? His combat thinking definitely rivals a jonin!" Hyuga Seika hid his surprise and said, "Don't let these two go—they must pay!"
"That's natural. But making them pay won't be that simple, I'm afraid," After Satoru's words, he noticed one of the Two Waterfall Demons suddenly vanish, then reappear on the other's body.
"What?!" Hyuga Seika felt like he was fighting monsters. None of this made sense.
"Our true ability is fusion! After fusing, our power increases tenfold!!"
"You're the second ones to force us to use this technique!"
"Who was first?" Hyuga Seika immediately asked.
"Go to hell—you'll meet there!" After the Two Waterfall Demons fused, their body underwent changes. Calling them Two Demons was no longer fitting; Waterfall Demon King suited better.
"There are many secret techniques in the shinobi world, many with special abilities, even Kekkei Genkai. Their power isn't that unusual!" Satoru thought. "If we're talking specialties, do you have a Devil Fruit System? Joking!"
"Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! Die!" The Demon King charged at Hyuga Seika with incredible speed. After all, soft persimmons were easier to crush. In their eyes, Satoru seemed far more formidable.
"Heavenly Spin!" Hyuga Seika wasn't pushover either. He spun immediately, his chakra shield protecting him from physical attacks.
But Satoru clearly saw Hyuga Seika's strength waning. His Heavenly Spin would stop soon.
"Die! Ha-ha-ha! Demon King Cannon!" The Demon King opened his maw, concentrated chakra in his mouth, and fired.
Satoru saw that if this hit Hyuga Seika, he'd die without chance of burial.
"Save or not?" Satoru decided with action.
"Earth Release: Mud Wall!" Satoru used an Earth Release defensive ninjutsu. Though it couldn't fully block the Demon King Cannon, in that brief moment of holding it back, Satoru teleported to Hyuga Seika and saved him.
However, the hurricane from the Demon King Cannon still tore off Hyuga Seika's hair tie.
Hyuga Seika's hair cascaded down.
Satoru was stunned. Looking at Hyuga Seika's delicate features, he understood instantly.
"You're a damn girl?!" Satoru blurted out.
"Watch out! Incoming attack!" Hyuga Seika didn't deny it. She suddenly saw the Demon King Cannon heading for Satoru again. Without hesitation, still holding her, Satoru teleported away.
At that moment, Minato and Yoshime arrived.
"Enemies attacking?"
"Need help? What's happening?" Minato and Yoshime exchanged glances and asked.
Satoru shook his head and said:
"This girl from the Hyuga Clan is an ally. That one opposite is the assassin targeting me. Didn't expect a jonin to hide so deeply. Shameless."
Minato looked at Satoru and thought: "Who hides deeper than you!"
"Leave this to me! Just protect her!" Satoru stepped forward. He exuded an inexplicable leader's aura.
"That blond ninja! Seems like target number two?! Die together!! Take my strongest attack! Maximum Demon King Cannon!" The Waterfall ninja concentrated all his chakra and attacked Satoru.
Seeing the massive shockwave about to obliterate Satoru, he shouted:
"Flying Thunder Fire Dragon Explosion!"
Satoru had long used a Shadow Clone as backup.
The Shadow Clone and he simultaneously used Lightning Release, Fire Release, and Wind Release. This terrifying combined ninjutsu, even more powerful, clashed with the opponent's Demon King Cannon.
In an instant, fierce winds swept Konoha Forest, and a massive crater formed at the clash site.
Satoru wiped sweat from his brow. Minato and the others couldn't find remains of the Waterfall ninja.
Satoru had annihilated the Two Waterfall Demons with one attack. Later, he learned they were among Hidden Waterfall Village's few elite jonin. Though highly powerful and talented, their morals were low.
One could say Satoru rid the world of evil.
"Th-that... is it over?" Everyone was stunned. The enemy had attacked so menacingly, shouted so loudly, and now? Not a trace left?
Yoshime and Minato were used to Satoru's power. Whatever he did seemed normal.
But Hyuga Seika wasn't as familiar with him. Now she understood how terrifying this young child was!
"Hyuga Seika? What's your plan now?" Satoru asked directly.
Having defeated the common enemy, Satoru wanted to know what this branch family Hyuga girl intended.
Hyuga Seika found a ninja tool pouch on the ground, pulled out a scroll, and was about to toss it to Satoru, but he refused immediately.
"Sorry, but we already have one," Satoru showed his scroll.
