Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 102 The Mastermind (Third Update)

At this moment, the members of the Hidden Mist had completely stopped and concealed themselves.

"What's going on there?"

Tachibana Nagakawa nudged Zabuza, who was also using sensory ninjutsu, with his elbow.

After all, he had heard some unpleasant words. If these people were really calling out the evil god that Hidan would be in the future, then dealing with it would probably be quite troublesome.

"But I remember Hidan wasn't very old, was he? Was he already born around this time?"

Jianchuan Ju fell into self-doubt.

"Could it be that the Hidden Cloud Village came to the Land of Hot Springs to search for the Jashin Cult? That curse technique is indeed very powerful, but without Hidan's immortality, isn't it just playing with fire?"

"There were about seventy or eighty people attacking three ninjas. Hmm, the scene was a bit..."

Zabuza seemed unsure of what words to use to describe it, and fell silent for a moment.

"Is this the resistance organization that Fujiwara mentioned earlier, besieging the Cloud Village ninja?"

Ken, who could only understand the situation by sound, also asked.

Ao waved his hand, gesturing for Kanagawa Tachibana to come over.

"Tachibana and I will go check the situation. Zabuza, you continue to confirm the situation using your ground listening device. Tamura, you set up some traps around here. The rest of you, stay on guard."

Jianchuan Ju jumped onto the tree where Qing was in a few steps, and the two of them headed towards the battle site together.

In the dense forest, with the help of the sparse moonlight and a few torches, the two were able to see the situation clearly.

A large number of tattered corpses lay scattered on the ground, while dozens of civilians dressed similarly surrounded the three ninjas, constantly probing them with hidden weapons and lassos.

However, these attacks seemed rather ridiculous to the ninjas present.

With a casual palm strike, the three ninjas sent several attackers flying, either dead or wounded.

However, what surprised the other two was not the courage of these people.

"Konoha ninja? Hyuga clan?"

Ao looked at the three Byakugan ninjas with some surprise.

However, when Jianchuan Ju looked at it, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This was because two of the three ninjas, the older ones with black hair, were wearing white robes and Konoha headbands.

One of the boys, who looked no older than himself, wore his headband around his neck, seemingly to show off his smooth forehead and distinguish himself from others.

"The Hyuga main family!"

Upon hearing this, Qing also looked at the forehead of the boy who was being protected in the middle.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized what Cloud Village had been searching for all these days in the southern part of the Land of Hot Springs.

It wasn't the evil, mysterious technique that Tachibana Kenkawa had initially thought, but rather the bloodline of the Hyuga main family!

This Hyuga clan boy, who appeared in the southern part of the Land of Hot Water for some unknown reason, has his precious Byakugan intact even if killed, as he is not controlled by the Caged Bird Seal.

Given the Cloud Village's yearning for bloodline limits, how could they not be tempted by such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Jianchuan Ju leaned close to Qing and whispered.

"Teacher Ao, the Hyuga main family has actually appeared here, and they only have two guards. We can't let them get away."

What Tachibana Kanagawa didn't know was that this young man from the Hyuga main family hadn't come here voluntarily.

Rather, it was because Shimura Danzo, the current commander of the Thunderfire Front, in order to divert the forces of Kumogakure, forcibly ordered the main branch members of the Hyuga clan to be dispatched.

Danzo Shimura not only ordered the other party not to leave the southern part of the Land of Hot Water, but he also revealed the information about the other party's presence in the Land of Hot Water to Kumogakure.

Therefore, no Konoha troops came to confront the Hidden Cloud Village's unbridled search in this area.

After all, Danzo's original intention was to hold back the Cloud Village's forces.

As for this young man from the Hyuga main family, if he blinds himself before being captured or killed, it would be a very worthwhile deal for Konoha.

Qing was naturally not going to let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by.

"This should be the target of Kumogakure. Even if we can't get it, we can't leave it to Kumogakure."

Although everyone is at war with Konoha, the two countries of Water and Thunder have never been friendly neighbors.

Qing continued.

"Ju, you stay here and keep watch. I'll go get the others and try to take them down directly."

"it is good."

Qing said no more and immediately disappeared.

Just as Ao left, Tachibana Kanagawa noticed that the three Hyuga ninjas below had encountered a problem.

One of the branch family ninjas, in an attempt to protect the boy, or perhaps due to a careless mindset, was a fraction of a second too slow and was grazed on the arm by a grappling hook.

This wasn't a serious injury, and it wouldn't even affect his subsequent movements.

However, the civilians suddenly cheered.

"Come quickly, Oda! Offer him as a sacrifice to the evil god."

The grappling hook was then thrown into the hands of a man who was drawing circles on the ground with his comrade's blood.

The three Hyuga ninjas seemed to have sensed something was wrong. The older branch family ninja accelerated forward, shoving aside several civilians blocking his way.

Just as he rushed up to the man named Xiaotian, the man gave a strange smile and stuck out his tongue to lick the blood off the grappling hook.

The next instant, the middle-aged ninja struck Oda's chest with a powerful palm strike.

From Jianchuan Ju's perspective, Oda's entire chest cavity caved in, and he flew through a bloody circle like a cannonball, crashing into several civilians behind him, who were now dead beyond any doubt.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The ninja who had been protecting the young man from the main family just moments before now had his chest collapse and was coughing up blood, dying instantly.

"quiet!"

Upon seeing his guard die, the young member of the clan immediately cried out in grief.

The middle-aged ninja who had rushed out earlier also quickly turned back to check.

Then, both of them simultaneously turned furious, their eyes bulging with veins, abandoning their previous nonchalance and launching a fierce attack on their attackers.

"We're doomed!"

Now, Tachibana Kanakawa, who was hiding in a tree nearby, was not calm. She knew that the Byakugan could see through everything in 360 degrees, so how could she possibly hide?

really!

Jianchuan Ju suddenly lowered his head, and a Bagua palm strike just barely flew over his head.

"You cowardly coward! You're the mastermind behind all this, aren't you!"

Enraged, the middle-aged ninja swung another empty palm strike.

Jianchuan Ju dared not stay in place any longer and quickly dodged again.

He could clearly see before that this middle-aged Hyuga was definitely a Jonin.

Previously, it was only because the three members of the Hyuga clan looked down on the attacks of these civilians and disdained indiscriminate killing that they did not quickly eliminate these enemies.

Now that he's attacking with such hatred, how could I dare to take the hit head-on?

Besides, he didn't have much to explain now. He was going to take action against the Hyuga clan's Byakugan anyway, but he brought it up a little earlier.

"You brat, prepare to die!"

Before the Hyuga ninja could even reach him, he was already being attacked by a barrage of Bagua palm strikes.

At this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa, still in mid-air, had no way to avoid it.
