Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 169 Who exactly is in the Blood Mist?

"Let's go check it out!"

Kurihara Kushimaru made a decision immediately.

The battle over there is very close to here. Regardless of whether it was the "Flower" squad that encountered the enemy, since we are so close to Konoha Village, one side must be from Konoha.

The battle here just now was so loud, and everyone's condition isn't good right now.

If they wait for the Konoha ninjas to arrive, they won't be able to get very far. It's better to go and check the situation first.

No one else had any objection to this.

It wasn't that the other three ninja swordsmen actually respected Kushimaru Kurihara.

However, there were still three of Kushimaru Kurihara's ANBU subordinates present, and the three, who were not in good condition, did not want to make trouble for themselves, so they simply acquiesced to his temporary command.

Harpoon and Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just obtained the right to use the ninja sword, took the lead and charged ahead.

Tachibana Kanagawa followed leisurely beside the four weakened ninja swordsmen.

"Those two guys in front have joined the fight."

After being given a small lesson by Tachibana Kenkawa, Pipa Juzo, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly opened his mouth.

Even Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but glance at it sideways.

"Looks like this guy has the talent of a sensory ninja? Is he really Zabuza the middle-aged cleaver?"

However, the fact that Kisame Hoshigaki and the harpoon had joined the battle, as mentioned by Juzo Biwa, brought a sigh of relief to the others.

Neither of the two harpooners were reckless; their direct involvement in the battle could only mean two things.

First, the fighting side was indeed composed of Hidden Mist ninjas. Second, the two judged that the Hidden Mist's current combat strength was sufficient to defeat the enemy, and there was no need to abandon their comrades and retreat.

"Go help!"

Kushimaru Kurihara spoke, and the five of them sped up again.

Kanakawa Tachibana naturally realized why the two harpoons had joined the battle, so he immediately stopped dawdling and rushed to the front.

In situations like this, the sooner they eliminate the enemy and escape, the greater their chances of successfully fleeing for their lives.

Otherwise, if the delay is too long, Konoha will send out a large number of ninjas to track them down, and no one will be able to escape safely.

It's important to know that Konoha also has two types of ninjas with flight abilities: the Super Beast Imitation Drawing and the Butterfly Transformation of the Akimichi clan.

Even if Jianchuan Ju could fly, she wouldn't dare say that she could escape 100% by abandoning the others.

Jianchuan Ju lunged forward while forming a hand seal with one hand.

"Water Release: Water Jet"

The agile water flow accelerated, allowing Jianchuan Ju to move with ease through the dense forest and quickly reach the battlefield.

After rounding a large tree, Kisame Hoshigaki was immediately seen wielding his twin swords, Hiramekarei, which generated a massive chakra blade that slashed horizontally.

This dense forest environment is clearly not suitable for such wide-ranging attacks.

However, the enormous, ridiculously large chakra blade completely ignored the surrounding trees and easily cut everything in its path.

The Konoha ninja's corpse, broken in two mid-air, crashed to the ground along with the felled trees around it.

Tachibana looked at Kisame Hoshigaki's enormous blade of light with some envy, and at how generously he used his chakra.

"If I had that much chakra, I'd dare to challenge even a Kage-level opponent!"

Although Jianchuan Ju was making random noises in her head, her hands didn't stop moving.

At this moment, there were about a dozen Konoha ninjas on the scene, besieging four members of the Kirigakure Anbu.

Calling it a siege isn't quite accurate. Apart from "Tea," whose fate is unknown, three of the four from Kirigakure, including "Flower" and "Spider," possess the strength of Jonin.

Even a spider with Chunin-level strength is not someone an ordinary ninja can defeat.

At this moment, the four of them, facing so many Konoha ninjas, were not at a disadvantage for a time.

Jianchuan Orange, propelled by the speed of the water jets, swiftly traverses the forest.

He casually dodged two fireballs from the enemy in front of him, and then threw several shuriken to distract his opponent.

Upon getting close, before the Konoha ninja could react, the water flow beneath Tachibana's feet suddenly increased.

He simply passed over the head of the Konoha ninja, and to the astonishment of the man, he drew his divine spear from his back and deftly sliced ​​through the man's head, killing him instantly.

After taking down an enemy, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't linger.

He tapped the tree trunk with both feet to dodge a shuriken thrown from afar and charged toward another enemy.

Seeing that Jianchuan Juming was heading straight for him, the man's expression turned ferocious, and his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

"You idiot from Kirigakure! Come here!"

But he had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light emanated from the divine spear in Jianchuan Ju's hand, shooting straight at the man's chest.

The Konoha ninja, who were concentrating on forming hand seals and calculating the distance to Tachibana Kenkawa, never expected the attack to come so suddenly.

He had only managed to dodge halfway when the divine spear's wind blade pierced through his chest.

Without pausing for a moment, Jianchuan Ju waved his arm.

"Rip~"

The person was cut in two, just like a rag doll.

"Iba!"

A Konoha ninja cried out in pain.

However, in battle, such a loss of composure not only serves no purpose, but also provides the enemy with an excellent opportunity to attack.

Without even needing to lift a finger, four chakra nails radiating a ghostly blue light shot towards the man, pinning his body to the tree trunk behind him.

However, the person who was pinned down suddenly exploded into a cloud of white smoke with a bang.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

This guy actually used shadow clones to feign grief and attract the enemy's attention.

Sure enough, the "danger prediction" in Tachibana Kanagawa's mind gave a warning.

This time, Tachibana Kanakawa did not jump back to dodge.

Instead, he flipped the divine spear in his hand, pointed it directly at the ground beneath his feet, and forcefully thrust it in. At the same time, the wind blades of the divine spear also extended rapidly, increasing the depth of its insertion into the ground.

"Pfft~"

A faint sound of a knife tip piercing flesh echoed from the earth.

Then, gushing blood gushed from the soil.

With a disdainful look, Jianchuan Ju pulled the divine spear from the ground and flicked away the little bit of blood on the tip of the blade.

"Using the deaths of your teammates to deceive the enemy—are we in the blood mist, or are you in the blood mist?!"

Ignoring the already dead guy, Tachibana Kenkawa quickly moved to finish off the enemy.

However, during battles, Tachibana Kenkawa always tried to minimize the use of ninjutsu and relied on his divine spear to defeat his enemies whenever possible.

Firstly, the speed and sudden attacks of a sharpshooter are efficient enough to deal with ordinary ninjas.

Secondly, after dealing with these enemies, the next step would probably be to run away, and Tachibana Kanagawa didn't want to waste too much of his chakra.

"Ding ding ding—"

After several rounds of fighting with the enemy, the sounds of swords clashing and striking each other rang out continuously.

Although Tachibana Kenkawa's swordsmanship is already quite strong, it seems that the Konoha ninja in front of him is also a swordsmanship specialist.

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking of using some underhanded tricks to finish the battle quickly.

A large axe, which appeared out of nowhere, came crashing down on the back of this Konoha ninja.

It actually cleaved the person vertically in two.

Blood splattered everywhere. Even though Jianchuan Ju noticed the attack earlier and retreated, he was still drenched in blood.

Wiping the blood off his mask, Tachibana Kanagawa looked helplessly at the harpoon that had turned and left.

"Is this guy getting a little too excited?"
