Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 155 Suigetsu Mountain Pufferfish Demon... Self-Destructed!

With dozens of people working together, the massive tsunami surged to an even greater scale, sweeping across the entire mountainside from below.

Yekura quickly ran away.

but.

At that moment, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon had already closed in on her, and was swiftly slicing the Samehada in his hand at her.

The chakra of Yekura had just been condensed.

The next instant, the ninjutsu failed.

How could that be?

Her expression changed drastically, and she immediately realized...

This knife is strange!

Yecang threw down several explosive tags and instantly retreated.

As the massive tsunami hurtled toward her, a flicker of despair crossed her eyes.

Finished!

The effect of Scorching Escape is to scorch the surrounding air, using the scorching air to kill enemies.

It is a product of the fusion of Fire Release and Wind Release nature transformations. No matter how powerful it is, it still needs air as an aid, and it cannot be used under the Great Explosion Water Shockwave.

Water overcomes fire, and this is the reason why.

If she were trapped in the massive burst of water, she would almost certainly die; only by escaping this area would she have a chance of survival.

Although she had realized before participating in the mission that it was not very safe, when she actually encountered such a situation, Yekura still had an unimaginable survival instinct.

however.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was even faster, and in the blink of an eye, it had already ridden the current behind her.

It drifts downstream at a rapid speed.

Yecang knew that the Scorching Release wouldn't work, but at this moment he couldn't help but instinctively activate his chakra.

because……

She was in dire straits.

There was no other way to survive except by risking everything.

After her chakra was absorbed, her chakra continued to erupt, and fireballs appeared one after another.

but.

It's obvious that these fireballs aren't as hot as real scorching release; some of their chakra has been stolen.

Suigetsu Hozuki was about to slash again, but Samehada showed obvious discomfort and reluctance, showing signs of backlash and going berserk, so he had to give up the idea.

but.

The next instant, he formed a hand seal, and two or three seconds later he spat out a large stream of water.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

The massive seawater directly submerged what lay ahead.

Although the seawater was evaporating under the scorching heat of the scorching waves, it was ultimately unable to withstand the rolling tide.

not to mention.

Behind us, the tsunami has arrived!

It’s over.

Ye Cang knew in her heart that she was doomed, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Over the past few months, her life in Sunagakure has exposed her to immense malice and injustice, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

And now.

It's finally time for everything to come to an end.

but.

Before that, we need to kill a few more enemies!

She fled towards the mountains and forests.

"You can't escape now."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon grinned.

Driven by chakra, a tsunami surged from behind, completely engulfing the area, with the overwhelming seawater pouring down from above...

She backed away, a sense of composure in her eyes.

That's enough for now.

Ye Cang sighed inwardly.

Before her eyes, fragments of the past began to surface. Thinking back to when the Third Kazekage was still alive, all those hopes and dreams, and then thinking about the present, she couldn't help but feel sad.

however.

Just as her thoughts were in turmoil and the tide was about to engulf her, suddenly her vision blurred, and then she saw a person.

Immediately.

boom!

As the blade cleaved down, the tsunami before them was cleaved in two by the terrifying impact of the chakra.

This is……

Wind Release?

How could there be such an exaggerated wind technique!

Who is this person?

Yecang was shocked, but the situation did not allow her to think too much.

"Walk!"

The other person's voice was deep.

After slashing out with his sword, he quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

This person was not only skilled in wind-style techniques, but also extremely powerful in water-style techniques. He created a wave beneath his feet, which swept the two of them away from the water's edge.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon in the distance was momentarily stunned.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw that the other person had already gone far away, and he immediately flew into a rage.

Did the duck that was almost in our hands fly away?

"Chase!"

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon dived into the water and drifted downstream.

This is an area where Kirigakure excels.

Behind them, Kisame Hoshigaki also came downstream, his hands forming a hand seal and pressing on the water's surface, causing sharks to emerge from the seawater.

Thousands of Sharks!

"Watch out below."

Yekura shouted quickly.

"Um."

Jingyan responded, then formed a hand seal, and in an instant, his figure split apart, transforming into another person.

This is……

One-handed shadow clone?

Ye Cang was stunned; she had a pretty good idea who the person in front of her was.

Yoshimine Kyohiko!

The genius ninja of Konoha, no, to be precise, is the strongest young genius of this generation in the entire ninja world.

Among the people she knew, only Jing Yanxing possessed such skillful and fluid one-handed shadow clone technique.

It was him who came to save me!

Ye Cang was in a daze.

Her expression shifted between anger and uncertainty as she considered whether to strike now. Just then, the boy in front of her turned his head. Although she could only see a mask, she sensed...

The other person must be laughing.

What are you laughing at?

The next second, she found out.

A finger shot out as fast as lightning, so fast that she couldn't keep up. By the time she reacted, she felt a slight pain all over her body.

Immediately following was intense stinging pain and paralysis.

Acupuncture?

Ye Cang was shocked.

Isn't this a power of the Hyuga clan of Konoha?

How do you even know this?

She wanted to control her chakra, but found that her chakra points had also been sealed, making it impossible for her to control her chakra.

"Has the Hyuga clan gone mad? They're even teaching you pressure point techniques?"

Ye Cang couldn't help but say.

Kyohiko laughed and said, "Our Konoha is very united, unlike your Sunagakure, where you would even harm your own people. Don't worry, I will avenge you."

"No need. We're not that close, are we? Besides, isn't this the outcome you wanted?"

Ye Cang gave a cold laugh.

She was an elite Jonin from Sunagakure, not a recent graduate; how could she not sense something was amiss?

Konoha let her leave for no reason.

But after returning to the village, everything was different from before. Various opinions and events were changing, making the situation in Sunagakure worse and worse.

"If I were to actually try to become the Fourth Kazekage, our Sunagakure would likely fall into division and internal strife. At that point, would Sunagakure still have a future against Konoha and Iwagakure?"

Jingyan glanced at her, then chuckled softly.

This female ninja wasn't ignorant.

She understands so well!

"If I had a choice, I would definitely recommend Sasori of the Red Sand. That way, Sunagakure would really be finished, and it might even be comparable to Kirigakure now."

Jing Yan said.

Ye Cang sneered, "So you admit it?"

"Admit what? We are enemies, and it was your Sand Village that attacked our Land of Fire first, not us who invaded you. Get to the bottom of this."

Jingyan answered calmly.

Ye Cang remained silent.

The previous war was indeed initiated by Sunagakure. Konoha could use any means necessary, including killing the Third Kazekage and disrupting their village.

She was unable to refute it.

A moment later, a knife suddenly appeared next to "Kyohiko".

Yekura recognized him.

This is the sword of Suigetsu Fuguki!

Did he kill the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon?

How could that be...?

Yecang stared blankly at Jingyan beside him, deeply shocked.

Isn't that a shadow clone?

Furthermore, this space-time ninjutsu was previously only mastered by Minato Namikaze, and now even Kyohiko Yoshimine has learned it, which is truly a disaster for Sunagakure.

"Look over there."

"What?"

Ye Cang turned around and saw a burst of blood-red light shooting into the sky in the distance, looking particularly terrifying under the moonlight.

What is that?

……

A moment ago.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon rushed out, forming hand seals, with a strange "fish" following behind him.

Samehada is completely liberated!

A sinister smile crept across his face.

Samehada dislikes the burning effect of Scorch Release, but it is not afraid of other ninjutsu. If it kills the guy in front of it, it can catch up and kill Pakura just the same way.

There might be an extra surprise.

That was what he originally thought.

Moreover, sharks emerged from all around, surrounding Kyohiko.

but.

The next moment, he heard the sounds of fighting.

What's going on?

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon was stunned for a moment.

rear?

He immediately realized that the other party was not alone.

Is Sunagakure going to back out?

Or is it...?

The person in front of me isn't from Sunagakure at all?

He felt cold all over and realized something was wrong, so he immediately tried to escape.

In past wars, this awareness had saved him from life-threatening situations several times, but this time the situation was different.

The opponent pointed to a certain spot, and their aura suddenly became even stronger.

Immediately afterward, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, as if teleported there, catching him completely off guard.

The sharks were even less able to react.

Then, a finger!

A powerful lightning chakra condensed into a single point, and with this finger piercing through his chest, Suigetsu Hobuki first felt a surge of immense chakra throughout his body.

but.

A terrible feeling of weakness followed immediately; he was completely unable to control the chakra, and his strength seemed to be draining away.

just like……

A final burst of energy before death?!

"Chakra erupts, but vitality and strength are rapidly declining?"

"Okay, let's try again."

Then, a wisp of smoke drifted over, but it was quickly absorbed by Samehada and vanished immediately.

It will be absorbed.

Kyohiko glanced at him, then placed his hand directly on Samehada, and used Flying Thunder God Technique to send him away.

Suigetsu Hozuki roared and was about to retaliate when Kyohiko's fingers began to poke him repeatedly, thirty or forty times in the blink of an eye.

Following closely behind—

Whoosh!

The other party disappeared.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu, and his chakra was constantly accumulating, but Suigetsu Hozuki felt extremely terrified.

Because his chakra pathways were disrupted by the opponent's pressure point technique, they were surging chaotically within his body, causing a sharp pain.

Crimson blood energy erupted around his body.

Then...

boom!

A surge of crimson chakra engulfed the entire stone platform.

The cliffs cracked and collapsed.

Suddenly, Kyohiko appeared beside Kakashi on the periphery.

"Walk!"

Then, he formed a mudra with his hands.

With his chakra burst forth, the seawater surged and reversed its course, forming a whirlpool, and then a water dragon roared and rose into the air.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

The difference is—

This technique has long since deviated from its original form and has become more like a hard vortex water blade.

boom!

The water dragon charged like a spear, tumbling among the crowd.

Genma Shiranui formed hand seals, and in an instant, the shuriken split apart, transforming into countless shuriken that flew outwards.

Kakashi also unleashed his maximum Lightning Release technique...

Lightning Release: False Darkness!

A scene of intertwined ninjutsu.

After the chaos subsided, the four were the first to retreat, leaving Kirigakure in a state of utter devastation.

After the chaos and the rushing water dispersed the chaos, the people of Kirigakure looked at the red-stained sea below and fell silent.

Some of it comes from the blood of their ninjas, and some comes from sharks.

Recalling what had just happened, everyone felt a pang of sympathy.

They didn't know what had happened.

but.

It's easy to imagine that the opponent's strength and ninjutsu were terrifying, beyond their comprehension.

After a moment of silence, everyone began to think about what to do next.

The task was not completed.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon is dead.

The crucial point is that they don't even know who the other person is.

"Lord Fugu Demon, how... how did you die?"

"But this isn't our fault!"

"Does anyone know which side the other party is on?"

Those who were closer to the camera couldn't help but tremble as they recalled the scene from earlier.

The remaining ninjas started arguing in a chaotic manner.

Kisame Hoshigaki, his eyes dark and his heart heavy, said, "It's from Konoha."

then--

His shark was directly involved in the fight, so he knew better than anyone what happened in that moment.

Suigetsu Hozuki emerged from the water, surrounded by sharks, while Kisame Hoshigaki was about to use the power of the Great Explosion Water Wave to trap Kyohiko.

result.

The next instant, the enemy was beside him, using a technique similar to pressure point manipulation to cause a strange surge of chakra within Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

Then, the other party disappeared.

To be precise, Suigetsu Hozuki died from his own chakra rampage, which can be described as self-destruction.

"It's the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Kisame Hoshigaki recounted the information he had gathered.

Everyone paused for a few seconds, then perked up.

Intelligence...

Very good!

Knowing who the enemy is and what methods they used is always better than knowing nothing at all.

"Minato Namikaze?"

"have no idea."

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head.

He could only determine that the other party had used a space-time ninjutsu, but he couldn't be sure it was Minato Namikaze.

In addition-

"It seems like they took Samehada too."

"..."

They looked at each other in silence.

There was nothing they could do about it once their sharkskin was taken away.

The ninjas of Konoha are simply too powerful.

"That……"

"Let's go back. This is no longer a task we can handle."

Someone said in a low voice.

The casualties were too terrible.

There were dozens of people when they arrived, but now there are less than thirty left.

The enemy is so powerful that chasing after them would be like handing them food; there is no hope of victory whatsoever.

"This is the only way."

No one dared to pursue them any further; they all shared a tacit understanding.

Why risk your life for such a small amount of money?

not to mention.

Knowing it's suicide, no one wants to be the first to charge in.

"Thankfully, the ship is still intact."

Kisame glanced down the cliff.

Their men protected the ship from the ninjutsu, and it remains intact. Otherwise, they would have had to find a ship to return to their base at sea before they could figure out how to get back to Kirigakure.

"Let's go."

They went down the mountain and onto the boat.

However, when they returned to the ship, they sensed that something was amiss.

This smell...

The smell of blood was mixed with an indescribable odor.

"Oh no, it's poison! Run!"

Kisame Hoshigaki shouted, then quickly plunged into the sea and swam away into the distance.

poisonous!

He was fast and possessed the abilities of the Hoshigaki clan, so the seawater quickly escaped danger, but the others were not so lucky.

After the toxin outbreak, although they jumped into the sea, they were not as fast as him, and the toxin still broke out, and then—

One by one, the puppets brought them out of the sea.

One got away.

"pity."

On the ship, Sasori of the Red Sand stepped out, then looked up and frowned.

"The Scorching Release technique didn't kill him, and Suigetsu Fuguki was also killed, without even leaving a corpse."

"What a pity."
