The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded.

Uchiha Shisui glanced at the spot where the ball of light had landed.

"What a powerful force!"

"So this is Hiramekarei, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist?"

Hozuki Mangetsu corrected Uchiha Shisui's statement.

"This is not one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, but one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki."

Without pausing, Hozuki Mangetsu anticipated Uchiha Shisui's possible location and rushed towards him in advance.

He leaped high into the air, swung his flounder sword, and slashed at Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui looked up.

"Sharingan!"

The magatama swirled within Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

A burst of illusionary power descended upon Hozuki Mangetsu.

Hozuki Mangetsu was trapped in an illusion and landed on the ground.

Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly I felt something was wrong.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"

Uchiha Shisui dodged with all his might.

However, in the end, the distance was too close.

"Pfft!"

However, Uchiha Shisui avoided vital parts. Hozuki Mangetsu's Water Gun Technique grazed past Uchiha Shisui's thigh, taking away a piece of flesh.

A wound appeared, and blood flowed out.

Hozuki Mangetsu gave a regretful look.

"pity."

Uchiha Shisui quickly treated his wounds, then looked at Hozuki Mangetsu with a puzzled expression.

"What did you just do?"

Just as Uchiha Shisui knew about Hozuki Mangetsu's Water Transformation Technique, Hozuki Mangetsu also knew about Uchiha Shisui's Genjutsu.

Therefore, when he leaped high into the air, Hozuki Mangetsu had already used the Water Transformation Technique on himself.

However, it only hydrated a localized area.

It blocked the transmission of visual information to the brain.

This means that even if Hozuki Mangetsu opened his eyes and looked at Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, these images were not actually transmitted to Hozuki Mangetsu's mind.

Naturally, one will not fall under the spell.

After landing, Hozuki Mangetsu dispelled the water transformation technique, pretending to be under a genjutsu.

This was done to lull Uchiha Shisui into a false sense of security.

Hozuki Mangetsu did not answer Uchiha Shisui, but simply said...

"Uchiha Shisui, you are more troublesome than I expected."

"However, I have a reason to kill you!"

"continue!"

Hozuki Mangetsu charged toward Uchiha Shisui once more.

high places.

Two figures stood.

Danzo looked at the Root ninja beside him.

"Has Yagura been lured over there?"

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Danzo nodded.

"Then the ninjas we need to be careful of here are Kisame Hoshigaki, Suigetsu Hozuki, and that one, Izumo Hozuki."

"However, given the situation of the Hozuki clan, it is unlikely that Hozuki Izumo would actively support Kisame Hoshigaki and Suigetsu Hozumi while Hozuki Mangetsu is engaged in fierce battle."

"Now is the best opportunity."

"Pass on my order: Move out!"

At Danzo's command, a large number of Konoha ninja began to move.

"kill!"

If you lack strength, make up for it with numbers.

On the battlefield in the Land of Fire, Konoha did indeed have a numerical advantage.

Konoha itself has a larger population than Kirigakure.

Moreover, the Blood Mist Village of Kirigakure has eliminated many people.

Those from Konoha, who were considered cannon fodder in the Blood Mist Village, all survived.

"Senior Fugu Demon, something seems wrong."

Kisame Hoshigaki pierced the throat of a Konoha ninja, then looked around and sensed something was amiss.

"really."

The pufferfish demon nodded.

"It must have been Danzo Nashimura who devised something."

"In terms of strength, Shimura Danzo is no match for Orochimaru, but in terms of cunning, he is second only to Orochimaru."

"I'll go up there and check the situation."

After saying that, the pufferfish demon formed a hand seal.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique".

Instead of attacking, it lightly leaped onto the top of the water dragon's head.

Then, the water dragon suddenly surged upwards and reached the sky.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon looked down.

Ordinary Water Release ninjas' Water Dragon Bullet ninjutsu cannot reach this level and cannot be maintained for a long time.

But the pufferfish demon, possessed by a water dragon, can do it.

After seeing the situation below clearly, the pufferfish demon's expression instantly turned ugly.

"We're surrounded."

"Many Konoha ninjas are hiding all around."

"It's a trap!"

We must break through.

"Yagura-senpai must be held back somewhere else."

"Kisame, he's coming for us."

The pufferfish demon landed, its expression turning very serious.

If I were with Kisame Hoshigaki, we both would have ways to try and escape.

The Pufferfish Demon's Water Dragon Bullet.

Kisame Hoshigaki's Great Shark Bullet.

But Danzo was also aware of this.

Therefore, they deliberately surrounded some other Hidden Mist ninja.

They clearly possessed the ability to kill them quickly, yet they surrounded them without actually killing them.

The intention was to use these people's lives to restrain Kisame Hoshigaki and Suigetsu Hozuki.

"We must find a breakthrough."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded.

"Alright, Fugu Demon Senior, I'll cooperate with you."

Immediately, Kisame Hoshigaki formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave Technique!"

A powerful current of water surged upwards, and more and more of it flowed up.

In an instant, the surrounding area was transformed into a small lake.

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet Technique!"

The pufferfish demon raised the water dragon to possess it.

"copy!"

"copy!"

Hundreds of water-powered bullets appeared.

"go with!"

After that, they all shot out in one direction.

Danzo's eyes flickered.
