Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 221 The Unexpected Ambush

The members of Kirigakure watched silently as the Kumogakure forces retreated.

Only after the figure opposite him had completely disappeared from sight did the Third Mizukage's tall figure bend slightly. He turned to look at Tachibana Kanagawa, his gaze deep and calm.

"Orange Boy, let's begin the treatment."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kenkawa quickly and gently laid the Third Mizukage flat on the ground.

In that short time, it was impossible for Tachibana Kanagawa to completely heal the Third Mizukage instantly; even the "Revival Wind" technique wouldn't have that effect.

It was only after the Third Mizukage whispered instructions that Tachibana Kenkawa quickly repaired his skin; he was still bleeding profusely inside.

Even Tachibana Kanagawa had to admire him. Apart from being a little pale, the Third Mizukage managed to frighten away the Cloud Village members as if he were completely unharmed.

However, as an old guy who has experienced countless battles, it's possible that he might actually be able to force himself to fight again.

"Lord Mizukage!" xN

Upon seeing the Third Mizukage fall, the Hidden Mist ninja quickly surrounded him.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way! What are you doing here? You're interfering with the treatment!"

Jianchuan Ju waved his hand to drive away the rest of the people.

The Third Mizukage also gave an order.

"Everyone go clean up the battlefield, and follow Orange Boy's orders here."

"Yes!" xN

Several ninjas from the Hidden Mist Sealing Team quickly stepped forward and sealed the severed finger of the Eight-Tails that had fallen earlier.

The rest of the group immediately began treating the wounded and gathering supplies.

Meanwhile, Tachibana first crushed a "healing egg" that hadn't been infused with much chakra, scattering the light onto the Third Mizukage before beginning to examine his injuries.

This is a little trick that Tachibana Kanagawa has only recently mastered. Because the "Healing Egg" comes with its own chakra will, it can often instantly determine the condition of the injured person and carry out the most appropriate treatment.

It can even be faster than the examination by Tachibana Kanagawa himself. When treating some seriously injured and dying people, only a small amount of chakra is needed to quickly stabilize the other party's injuries.

This will allow Jianchuan Ju more time to analyze the situation in order to provide better treatment.

However, after the examination, the Third Mizukage's physical condition still alarmed Tachibana Kenkawa.

"How did they manage to hold on until now with such injuries, and even use ninjutsu to trap that bastard A?"

At this moment, the Third Mizukage suffered multiple internal organ ruptures, and his upper body was also covered with large areas of comminuted fractures, not to mention countless lacerations and burn marks from electric shocks.

The most crucial factor is the age of the Third Mizukage.

"Lord Mizukage, a radical recovery might not be appropriate. If we opt for conservative treatment, you'll likely be incapacitated for a considerable period."

Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage merely stared into Tachibana's eyes for a moment, then closed them and spoke in a calm and even tone.

"Orange Boy, you handle this."

Hearing the other party's casual attitude, which sounded like he was being told to handle the pork, Jianchuan Ju broke out in a cold sweat.

"yes!"

Not to mention that Tachibana Kenkawa was carefully treating the Third Mizukage's injuries.

Among the Cloud Village troops retreating from the sea, Killer Bee, who had already exited his Tailed Beast form, curiously asked the Fourth Hokage, A.

"Big brother, why not just wipe out all those bastards playing in the water in one go?"

The fourth generation of Ai, in his running state, punched Killer Bee with frustration, causing him to stumble, but did not answer his question.

Killer Bee didn't mind at all. Instead, he took out a small notebook from his pocket, ran after his older brother, licked the pencil, and started writing something down.

Although the Fourth Hokage A didn't say it, the strategic objectives of the Hidden Cloud Village had been basically achieved this time. In addition, the time he and Killer Bee launched a surprise attack on the Hidden Mist Village a few days ago, even though the two were ultimately defeated by the Third Mizukage, they also brought each other to the front line.

However, Killer Bee's complete tailed beast transformation also caused considerable losses to Kirigakure.

Considering that the Hidden Cloud Village has maintained the upper hand in the recent battles, the Hidden Mist Village is unlikely to be able to intervene in the war within the Land of Fire in the short term, and may even choose to withdraw from this ninja war altogether.

Kumogakure has fulfilled its promise to Iwagakure. Now, it remains to be seen whether Iwagakure's surprise attack on Sunagakure will be successful.

Moreover, their own Third Raikage was just blasted away by a ninjutsu and is now nowhere to be found. What they need to do now is to find the village leader as soon as possible.

In this situation, continuing to fight the Hidden Mist Village to the death would only result in the needless loss of more troops, which would be detrimental to the subsequent operation against Konoha.

What the Fourth Hokage A didn't expect was that just as the Cloud Village forces retreated to the Land of Fire's coastline, the Konoha forces, who were originally supposed to stay in their camp and watch the fight unfold, suddenly appeared on the shore.

Leading them were none other than Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura!

"Damn it! What is Onoki doing?! Where's the earthen platform? How could he let people in?!"

The Fourth Hokage, A, immediately waved for his troops to stop, his eyes fixed on the Konoha troops ahead.

According to the original plan, Kumogakure would launch an attack on Kirigakure first, while Iwagakure would be responsible for containing the main force of Konoha led by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura in the three war zones of fire, lightning, and earth in the northern part of the Land of Fire.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, is responsible for dealing with the eastern Konoha region of Kirigakure. With his limited manpower, he will most likely choose to stand by and watch, and is unlikely to launch an attack to intercept the Kumogakure forces.

Even if Orochimaru were to forcefully intervene, the Hidden Cloud Village was confident that they could defeat him.

A few days ago, when the Hidden Cloud Village destroyed the Hidden Mist Village's newly established camp within the Land of Fire, the Hidden Leaf Village did exactly the same thing.

I never expected that Danzo Shimura would show up here today!

And it just so happened to be at a crucial moment when the Third Raikage was nowhere to be found.

The fourth generation of Ai was filled with rage, but he had nowhere to reason with, so he had to force himself to calm down.

"Bi, we might have to rely on you from now on!"

"Yo, Konoha's little fish and shrimp~ Defeating them is a piece of cake~ Watch me, Killer Bee, unleash my divine power~"

As Killer Bee's strange voice rang out, eight octopus tails emerged from behind him once more, and the surrounding Cloud Village ninjas immediately made way.

In the blink of an eye, Killer Bee transformed into a tailed beast once again.

At the same time, without any warning, the Eight-Tails appeared and quickly opened its mouth to condense chakra energy. An energy ball exuding a dangerous aura rapidly condensed in front of it, and countless ominous red and blue light spots quickly gathered together.

This time, the enemy was still quite far away from the Eight-Tails, and no one could stop him.

As the Eight-Tails tilted its head back, the Tailed Beast Ball in front of it gradually transformed into a blazing red energy ball.

The next moment, waves of energy spread out, and the Tailed Beast Ball, filled with destructive energy, transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the Konoha ninjas gathered on the shore.

"Boom~~~"

The earth-shattering energy explosion formed a huge semi-circular sphere of light on the ground, followed by a towering mushroom cloud.

The fourth-generation Ai did not hesitate any longer and immediately gave the order.

"Rush!"
