Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 162 The Gate of Death! Open!

"Ridiculous. It's just Tsunade. We could send all seven Ninja Swordsmen out, but do we have to wait here for the Anbu to coordinate?"

Wu Li Shen Ba was extremely annoyed and jumped onto the boulder while carrying the 'Exploding Blade*Flying Drop'.

"Senior, there are six people."

The newly appointed Flounder Envoy weakly offered a reminder upon hearing this, and then found a large rock to lean against and sit down.

However, before Wuli Shenba could even refute the newcomer's talkativeness...

With his left arm resting on the Executioner's Blade, the nonchalant-looking Juzo Biwa was the first to speak.

"Five of them! You cowards, don't think you're one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen just because you got the flounder. You're still a long way off!"

Although Hiramekarei was somewhat angry, the Seven Ninja Swords were already renowned before he even possessed Hiramekarei, so he ultimately refuted them.

"Tch, Juzo Biwa, when did it become possible for me to be considered one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

Kurosuki Raiga, sitting cross-legged to one side, looked at Biwa Juzo with a mocking gaze.

"What? You're not convinced? Want to fight?"

"Shut up! The Third Hokage gave the order to have the Anbu cooperate!"

Kurihara Kushimaru, perched on a treetop, interrupted their argument with a cold voice.

"Heh, Kushimaru Kurihara, are you trying to use the Mizukage to intimidate us?"

"Do you want me to attend your funeral?"

The most senior member, Tongkusa no Erin, ignored the noisy chatter of the other five.

He calmly placed the "Blunt Knife * Helmsman" beside him, crossed his arms, and watched everything unfold before him.

There was no other way; ever since the death of Suigetsu Hozuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen,...

Although Kushimaru Kurihara inherited the position of head of the Anbu, he was the highest-ranking among the six people present.

However, his strength was not convincing, and the other ninja swordsmen completely ignored his orders.

Moreover, even when Suigetsu Hobuki was still alive, he only barely gained the overt recognition of the other ninja swords.

In reality, these individuals, each with their own pride, might not necessarily obey.

The veteran Tongkusa no Erin had no intention of seizing power and was happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

However, just as the group was arguing and about to start a fight...

However, three brats from Konoha accidentally rushed in front of them.

This prevented the group from disrupting their already arranged poses and positions due to premature infighting.

Seeing that three youngsters from Konoha had actually come to their deaths, all six of them turned their gazes toward them.

The three kids being watched by the six were naturally the team of three genin: Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu.

"Why are these people from Kirigakure here?!" Ebisu said, his voice trembling slightly.

Genma Shiranui, who was somewhat calmer, said with a heavy expression.

"Oh no, we're surrounded now."

"There's no escape now!"

Matt Kai couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, the members of Kirigakure who heard the three kids speak were all stunned.

"Wait, what? Didn't these three brats come here to bother us? Why are they surrounded? Six Jonin surrounding three Genin?!"

What the ninja swords didn't know was that the four-person team, which had been on a mission near the village, happened to discover the three ANBU members of the "Flower Team" who were rushing to join them, causing them to be too careless.

The teacher leading the group of three chose to stay behind to continue tracking them, while the trio returned to the village to report back.

As a result, the inexperienced trio bumped into the ninja swordsmen who were waiting for someone.

But before the few people from Wuyin could speak...

Even Ebisu, who seemed the most timid, spoke again.

"How could this be! Aren't these the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Ha, I didn't expect that kids from other villages have heard of us."

Pipa Juzo grinned, revealing sharp teeth, his face filled with a bloodthirsty expression.

Unfortunately, just as he was thinking of continuing to intimidate and tease these three Konoha brats, things took a turn for the worse.

The green-haired man with the watermelon-shaped haircut on the other side interrupted Pipa Juzo's emotions with his foolish tone.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen? But aren't there only six of them?"

The atmosphere froze instantly upon hearing this.

Then came the six Hidden Mist Ninja swordsmen present, all staring intently at Might Guy, who had just spoken, their faces grim.

"You brat! Are you mocking us?!"

The hot-tempered Juzo Biwa raised the Executioner's Blade with one hand, pointing it at Might Guy, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

The three Konoha genin instantly broke out in a cold sweat and involuntarily took a half step back.

Matt Kai stammered as he tried to explain.

"That's not true."

Just when the three thought they were doomed.

"Whoosh—"

A figure emanating green steam suddenly appeared in the air, then landed steadily in front of the three, leaving them with a green bodysuit-clad silhouette.

This not-so-imposing figure completely separated the Konoha trio from the menacing Seven Ninja Swordsmen on the other side.

"Finally made it!"

"Dad?" Matt Kai exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the figure in front of him.

The person standing here is Might Guy's father, Might Dai, the perennial genin of Konoha.

"Dad, what are you doing here, a low-ranking ninja?"

"Stop asking! You guys hurry up and go, I'll buy you some time!"

"Dad, there are six Jonin on the other side."

However, Matt Kai was met with his father's profile and a raised thumb.

"Don't worry, remember? The Eight Gates! Self-discipline!"

"But using that will..." Matt Kai said, his eyes filled with tears and his voice trembling.

However, it was clear that some people on the other side were getting impatient with this touching scene of father and son.

The newly appointed Flounder Envoy, who had been looked down upon by several seniors, was already on the verge of exploding with emotion.

Seeing that even the Konoha genin on the other side dared to ignore them and chat amongst themselves, their anger flared even more.

He was prepared not to wait for the other seniors to make the first move, and directly drew the twin swords *Hiramekarei* from his back, pouring his own chakra into them.

The blue chakra blade instantly shredded all the bandages wrapped around the blade.

He then leaped into the air, wielding a giant light blade to slash at the four people from Konoha.

"Go to hell, you piece of trash!"

Mighty, who had also noticed the enemy's attack, turned around and left his son with only his back to him.

"Now is the time."

As some indistinct words were spoken, the green steam around Matt Dai suddenly surged and turned blue.

Immediately afterwards, Might Guy raised his leg and kicked the chakra light blade on the flounder, shattering it.

But that's not all.

The blue steam emanating from his body surged again, and the powerful shockwave even blew the three genin behind him away.

Matt Day murmured softly, as if he were talking only to himself.

"When you're determined to protect what's most important to you, even at the cost of your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the raging blue steam instantly turned blood red.

"Death Gate! Open!"
