Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 145 The Flounder Envoy

"boom--"

A violent explosion rang out on the beach, sending large amounts of dust and sand flying everywhere.

"Pooh!"

"Those lunatics from Kirigakure!"

Several Sand Village ninjas spat out the sand they had accidentally swallowed, cursing as they looked at the ninjas from both sides who were being blown to pieces by the explosive tags.

Then, one by one, they all looked at the corpse in the distance with grim expressions.

This is the third Kirigakure corpse discovered by the Sunagakure tracking team.

When the first body was discovered, the Sunagakure members assumed it was a member of the Kirigakure Anbu who had fled and abandoned a severely wounded member.

A few careless individuals excitedly stepped forward to investigate, hoping to gather more information.

Unexpectedly, the other party was lying on a large number of explosive tags, which killed all of their companions who went to check.

When they encountered the corpses of the Hidden Mist Anbu for the second time, everyone was much more cautious and vigilant, and no casualties were reported.

However, the corpse they encountered this time turned out to be just a decoy.

As the Sand Village ninjas used their clones to check the situation, two Kirigakure Anbu members suddenly rushed out from under the sand.

Many serious injuries were clearly visible on the other person, one of whom was even missing an arm.

The sight of the two secret agents rushing into the crowd while spitting blood was truly terrifying.

Several Sand Village ninjas who didn't react immediately were caught off guard by the sudden attack, resulting in further casualties.

"Lady Yekura, shouldn't we retreat?"

A Sand Village Jonin spoke rudely to Yekura.

"Yes, Lady Yekura, our casualties in this operation have already exceeded the number of people in the Kirigakure team."

This time, the person speaking was Ye Cang's confidant, but he also disagreed with continuing the pursuit.

After all, the main enemy of Sunagakure is still Konoha.

Engaging in a petty argument with Kirigakure here would be somewhat counterproductive.

Yekura is currently in a dilemma.

"If only we could have annihilated all of Kirigakure's forces in that valley!"

At this point, Yekura became increasingly displeased with the appearance of Kenkawa Tachibana.

She could have regained her reputation in the village by taking revenge for the wounded soldiers' camp.

However, if we retreat in such a half-hearted manner, especially with such heavy casualties among the pursuing troops, we may never have the chance to enter the decision-making level of Sunagakure again.

However, when Yekura saw the pitiful state of the ninjas who had just been injured by the explosion, being urgently treated by their comrades, she was shocked.

Yecang finally made up his mind, and the words were slowly uttered through clenched teeth.

"Everyone, mission complete, prepare to retreat!"

However, just as Ye Cang finished speaking, a voice filled with bloodthirsty killing intent suddenly rang out.

"I don't think you need to retreat anymore."

That sentence ended.

"Swish~ swish~ swish~ swish~"

One after another, figures descended in an instant.

Countless ninjas wearing Mist Village headbands quickly appeared on the beach near the coast, surrounding the Sand Village ninjas.

The person who had spoken earlier, now carrying a decapitation sword on his shoulder, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and looking at Yecang with a mocking gaze, was none other than Pipa Juzo.

Standing beside him was Raiga Kurosugi, also a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

And another unknown guy whom Tachibana didn't recognize, who seemed to be the new Hiramekarei tamer.

Yes, that's right, Tachibana Kanagawa is also among the crowd surrounding Sunagakure at this moment.

When the Mist Village's encirclement force arrived earlier, due to their large numbers, they were spotted immediately by Tachibana Kanagawa, who was flying in the air.

Seeing that the Kirigakure troops seemed to still be searching for the exact location of the Sunagakure people, after informing Fuku, Tachibana Kenkawa decisively went to the Kirigakure troops to give them directions.

When they saw the rapidly approaching figure, if Tachibana Kanagawa hadn't been wearing the Kirigakure ANBU uniform, he would have been surrounded and attacked by the Kirigakure ninjas who were carrying out a covert operation.

However, after her identity was confirmed, Tachibana Kenkawa received a lot of envious glances.

Let's return to the present.

Seeing that Tachibana was staring at the new Hiramekarei user, Kisame Hoshigaki walked over to him and whispered something.

"That guy is already the fourth ninja to inherit the Hiramekarei."

Tachibana Kanagawa was unaware of this news and turned to look at Kisame Hoshigaki with some surprise.

Kisame simply shrugged.

"While the Twin Blades Hiramekarei are not as demanding on the user as the Samehada, they are not something that ordinary Jonin can use casually."

"Of the two guys who inherited Hiramekarei before, one was surrounded and killed by Konoha ninjas because he wasn't skilled enough in using it, and the other didn't control the power well during use, and Hiramekarei drained all his chakra, killing him on the spot. I wonder how long this guy can last."

When Jianchuan Ju heard the news, she couldn't help but shudder.

"I'd heard before that flounder consumes a lot of chakra, but to be drained dry and die like this is just too tragic."

"So, Chojuro's worth as the Sixth Hokage is still steadily increasing!"

Thinking of this, Tachibana looked at the Hiramekarei with some pity, who was still grinning and staring fiercely at Yekura.

"Hmm, it doesn't even have small fangs; it's probably only good for being a temporary knife stand."

Tachibana Kanagawa turned back to look at Kisame Hoshigaki with a strange expression. Wasn't this guy an earlier member of the Anbu than she was? How did he know so much about the intelligence from the front lines?

"Something's not right with you! How do you know so much about flounder?"

Kisame Hoshigaki didn't explain, but just chuckled twice.

However, reality did not give Tachibana Kenkawa the opportunity to continue asking questions.

The entire Kirigakure force had arrived, and the three leading ninja swordsmen seemed no longer content with merely verbally pressuring Sunagakure.

He gave the order directly.

"Move! Leave no one alive!"

"Yes!" xN

"Die, you Sunagakure scum!"

A series of strange cries rang out, and the group of murderous bastards from Kirigakure excitedly rushed towards the Sand Village, which was surrounded.

At the same time, no one knew who had used the Fog Concealment Technique, but they appeared silently and quickly enveloped the battlefield.

"Dr. Lu, please be careful."

Kisame Hoshigaki greeted them and then quickly disappeared into the thick fog.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but complain.

"Which unlucky guy did this? So many people ganging up on Sand Village ninjas, and he even had to use the Hidden Mist Technique? Isn't that just making things less efficient?!"

Actually, Tachibana Kanagawa wasn't that concerned about efficiency, but ever since she obtained "Sharp Vision" to enhance her eyesight...

Tachibana Kanagawa discovered that, like the Uchiha clan, she also disliked the Hidden Mist Technique, which was designed to obscure vision.

"Who's so inconsiderate!"

Wielding his divine spear, he shattered a puppet that appeared out of nowhere, and then quickly retreated.

Perhaps it's because of his height, or perhaps his dark mask is just too conspicuous.

Tachibana Kanagawa, who had been standing at the front of the encirclement, unexpectedly became the primary target of many Sunagakure ranged attacks.
