Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 200 That Bastard, Mist Shadow!

"Boom boom boom boom~"

A series of explosions rang out.

Countless tiny pieces of iron and steel balls flew around in this area.

The thick fog was also blasted away by the continuous explosions, creating a small gap.

Upon hearing the sound, Tachibana Kanagawa looked over and saw a Hyuga ninja dragging two teammates away.

However, the opponent quickly rushed into the mist, leaving Jianchuan Ju in the air no time to give chase.

"A team of three? Are they guards? Or do they serve some other purpose?"

Tachibana Kanagawa was unaware of the composition of this new special squad in Konoha and could only make wild guesses.

However, the explosion just now was not without effect.

The Konoha Flying Force, which was still fighting in the air, suddenly had six of the black eagles beneath their feet explode, bursting into a ball of ordinary ink.

The Konoha ninja, having lost their mounts, immediately fell to the ground in a panic.

The three teams of ninjas, who had just thrown grenades, were not going to miss this opportunity. They roared and launched a fierce attack on the enemy who had nowhere to hide in the air.

Several men lacking skill were immediately riddled with bullets by kunai-wielding assault rifles.

Only two Konoha ninja managed to withstand most of the attacks, falling wounded into the mist and surviving.

"Only six Black Eagles were blown up. Were there four Super Beast Pseudo-Artists?"

"No, those killed or injured by such a pre-warned explosion are likely the weakest team, which is why the number of Dark Eagles lost is less than a third. Maybe only three!"

Even as Jianchuan Ju was thinking, her hands didn't stop moving.

Although the explosion only wiped out one Konoha special squad, the remaining Black Hawk in the air lost its previous agility because the escape of the other two disrupted the view.

Although it can still carry its rider through the air, the exquisite teamwork and dodging skills of the past are no longer present.

They looked more like a flock of ordinary birds acting on instinct.

These experienced Sky ninjas naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass, and several more targets were shot down by concentrated fire.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining Konoha ninjas all chose to unleash powerful ninjutsu to disrupt the vision of the Sora ninjas.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, the eagles were abandoned and landed, while most people escaped safely back into the fog.

However, this very delay caused the problem.

Jianchuan Tachibana then saw several groups of Konoha ninjas and took the opportunity to retreat into the dense forest in the distance.

Without ground troops to help drive the enemy out, or by exposing their position in the dense forest, the aerial ninjas are not in a position to directly pursue them.

Kanakawa Tachibana also noticed that further away, on the other edge of the battlefield fog, Air Force Minister Haruyu, who was leading the first and fourth squads, was being intercepted by a dense swarm of black parasitic insects.

"Honestly, why don't the bugs come over here!"

In just a short while, her team had lost six people, which made Jianchuan Ju heartbroken.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings and intercept any enemies breaking through the fog."

After saying that, Tachibana Kanagawa turned to look at Kaguya Rasō.

"Senior Luo Suo, please send someone to inform Lord Gouju as soon as possible that it is time to retreat."

"We're in the same grade!"

Kaguya Rakuso grumbled and cursed, but still immediately ordered several of her men to go and inform Yagura Karatachi to retreat.

He had just seen many Konoha ninjas withdraw from the mist area.

If the fog eventually clears and only the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village remain, they'll probably beat the dog's brain out.

Afterwards, Tachibana Kanagawa led the members of the Sky Division to keep watch outside the fog area.

However, every time a large number of Konoha ninjas withdrew from the mist, many birds or parasitic insects made of ink would fly out in the air to interfere with the attacks of Tachibana and the others.

Moreover, this time the Konoha ninjas learned their lesson and no longer used large birds in conjunction with ninja knights in an attempt to inflict damage on the Hidden Mist flying force.

Instead, they drew more smaller, but more agile and swift birds simply to cause disturbance.

While it still couldn't completely stop the Sky Ninjas from killing the enemy, it greatly reduced their killing efficiency.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

The ninjas from Kirigakure also began to gradually withdraw from the area shrouded in mist.

Perhaps following orders from their superiors, these Hidden Mist ninjas who withdrew from the mist did not choose to pursue the fleeing Konoha ninjas in the distance.

They all decisively evacuated towards the coastline.

Tachibana Kenkawa, who was flying in the air, roughly understood Yagura Karatachi's thoughts.

Rather than continuing to entangle with Konoha here, and then waiting for the Kumogakure barbarians to rush out and start another three-way battle.

It would be better for everyone to calmly retreat and end this inexplicable battle as soon as possible.

Following the lead of the frontline commander, Tachibana Kenkawa decided to abandon his attack on the Konoha ninja.

They began to lead a team to intercept a small number of Cloud Village ninjas who had chased them out from the area covered by the Hidden Mist Technique.

By the end, it seemed that most of the Hidden Mist ninja had already completed their retreat.

Led by Chunyu, nearly two hundred flying ninjas from four air squadrons blocked the area outside the dense fog.

Only after he had used up all the ammunition he carried, forcing back a large number of Cloud Village ninjas who wanted to follow him out of the fog, did he leisurely lead everyone in a graceful arc through the air, flying towards the direction of the main force's retreat.

As the troops from Kirigakure and Konoha, who had been replenishing the Kirigakure techniques, withdrew, the thick fog that had enveloped the entire battlefield finally began to dissipate.

However, at this moment, apart from a few unlucky souls who failed to evacuate in time, all that remained were corpses and bewildered Cloud Village troops.

The Third Raikage was furious at the sight of the vast number of Cloud Village ninja corpses riddled with kunai, almost turned into rag dolls.

"Aaaaaaah!"

"Those bastards from Kirigakure!"

"And Konoha!!"

After roaring, the Third Raikage was enveloped in lightning and slammed his fists heavily into the ground.

In an instant.

A loud "boom" resounded.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the ground cracked.

Its immense destructive power, comparable to Earth Release ninjutsu, forced the remaining Cloud Village ninjas to scatter and dodge.

Fortunately, the Cloud Village seemed unsurprised by their third patriarch's reaction, and not many people were actually injured in the attack.

After venting his anger, the Third Raikage finally regained his composure, but still spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Earth platform! Where's the earth platform?! Come and get people to clean up the battlefield! Prepare for retreat!"

However, after the Third Raikage finished speaking, there was an awkward silence, and all the Cloud Village members looked at their Raikage in confusion once again.

It wasn't until a Jonin stepped forward and whispered a reminder that...

"Third Hokage, Lord Tsuchida is still at the front-line camp, overseeing the defense against Konoha's sneak attack."

Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage looked around with a black line on his forehead, then looked at the Jonin who had spoken, and finally said through gritted teeth.

"Then you can arrange for people to clean up the battlefield!"

"The rest of you! Retreat!"

"Yes!" xN
