Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 434 Fierce Battle

Fat Grass Ninja was still somewhat alert when faced with the enemy rushing towards him.

Ignoring his teammates who had fallen into the trap, he immediately pulled out his kunai and prepared to fight.

But the red-haired woman who had been kicked to the ground by the skinny ninja did not react at all.

He was struck directly in the chest by a nearly transparent wind blade, splattering a large amount of blood as he flew backward, his fate unknown.

However, she was actually quite lucky; at least she didn't suffer any pain.

On the other hand, the fat grass ninja's kunai was knocked away as soon as they exchanged blows.

Before he could regroup and launch a counterattack, he was caught off guard.

A pale white blade flashed past, severing half of his hand.

"ah--"

A piercing scream rang out.

The next moment, the attacker's two sharp blades pierced his chest simultaneously.

The three people, Kabuto, who were hiding in the shadows, were all shocked.

Although I had a feeling before that these three grass ninjas were not very strong.

But unexpectedly, the battle ended in an instant.

Even though the attacker was a genin from Sunagakure, the difference in strength was still far too obvious.

That's right, the ambushers who appeared at this moment were the Sand Village team who had traveled by sea in the "Sand Boat" earlier.

The one who sent the red-haired Kusanagi flying with a single blow was none other than the leader, Sunagakure's Baki.

"Should we go or not?"

Hozuki Mangetsu quietly asked Kabuto a question.

But before Kabuto could even give an answer, their opponents had already made the decision for them.

After eliminating the Kusagakure enemy with a sneak attack, Maki immediately formed hand seals and faced the hiding place of Kabuto and the other two.

"Wind Release: Wind Slicing Technique!"

An invisible wind blade struck swiftly.

The trunks of all the shrubs along the way were cut in two.

"Get out of the way!"

After a loud shout, the three of them instantly unleashed chakra beneath their feet and leaped away from their original positions.

In perfect unison, they threw several shuriken at the enemy to cover themselves and the others.

"Full moon, let's go get the flag first!"

Ignoring the several large trees behind him that had been cut in half by the wind blades, Kabuto immediately gave orders to Hozuki Mangetsu.

He then pushed off the tree trunk and leaped towards Sunagakure Maki, who was dodging the shuriken in his hand.

At the same time, his hands never stopped moving.

Several kunai, each strapped with an explosive tag, were fired at Maki without hesitation.

At the same time, Ringo Ameyuri understood and quickly rushed to the figure who had just killed the fat ninja.

"Iai* Continuous Slashes!"

A dazzling blade of light sliced ​​through the air; the incredibly sharp chakra metal dagger shattered the opponent's double blades and hand.

However, the other person immediately shouted a reminder.

"Ringo! That's a puppet!"

"What?!"

Just as Ringo Ameyuri passed by the enemy, she suddenly turned around and realized that the feedback when she struck the enemy's palm was not normal.

Just then, the puppet behind him, which had lost its hands and weapons, exploded with a 'bang' and broke into several pieces.

However, this did not mean that the puppet itself was destroyed by the attack just now.

The puppet, divided into several segments, floated steadily in mid-air.

Head, arms, torso, and legs simultaneously unfurled sharp metal blades, hurtling towards Ringo Yuyu.

And looking at the eerie purple sheen at the tips of these metal blades, it's clear that each weapon has been coated with deadly poison by the enemy.

Emergency moment.

Ringo Ameyuri instantly channeled her chakra into her legs and launched "Leap".

He actually leaped into the air, reaching a height of over ten meters.

The puppet blades that shot towards her pierced the spot where she had been standing with a series of thuds.

On the other side, with the help of his two teammates, Hozuki Mangetsu quickly rushed to the flag planted in the mound of earth.

However, the location where the Sand Village launched its attack was still far away.

Suddenly, a white cloth, winding and twisting, sprang out from the bushes.

"The Art of Binding Cloth!"

This was clearly a premeditated sneak attack.

The white cloth, like a rapidly weaving serpent, quickly wrapped and coiled towards Hozuki Mangetsu.

He caught a glimpse of Hozuki Mangetsu attacking out of the corner of his eye, but did not choose to stop what he was doing to dodge.

Instead, he kicked the dead, skinny grass ninja's corpse away.

The force of the kick was quite clever; the corpse slammed directly into the incoming cloth, sending the large piece of white cloth flying backward and instantly breaking the enemy's sneak attack.

Without waiting for any other traps, he simply pulled the flag out.

"Bang!"

A plume of purple poisonous smoke shot out rapidly from a small hole in the ground after the flag was pulled out.

Fortunately, Hozuki Mangetsu reacted quickly enough, activating his water transformation and flying backward rapidly.

Because of the cloth ambush, the two hidden figures, Sand Hidden Gravel and Maki, also revealed their positions.

He ignored the sharp blades that were pulled from the ground and were now chasing him into the air.

Ringo Ameyuri, who had just dodged the attack and leaped into the air, immediately tossed her twin swords upwards upon seeing this.

At the same time, both hands quickly begin to form hand seals.

One after another, crackling golden lightning balls rapidly formed in front of her.

However, that's not all.

The instant the lightning ball was formed, Ringo Kobayashi suddenly shot out more than a dozen shuriken from between her palms, each striking the lightning ball in front of her.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball Claw Strike"

The shuriken, enveloped in golden lightning, shot out rapidly, like a meteor shower falling from the sky, tracing graceful arcs through the air before hurtling towards the two Sand Village members below.

They hadn't even retracted their rolls of cloth and had no time to defend themselves.

Seeing this, Gravel had no choice but to stop controlling those poisonous blades and quickly switch puppets to defend himself.

For him now, controlling two puppets at the same time is still quite difficult.

He quickly severed the chakra puppet threads in his hand and reconnected them to his back.

The massive sand barge that had been used as a vehicle transformed into a giant shield, immediately blocking the two of them.

next moment.

"Boom boom boom boom~"

The lightning ball's shuriken kept crashing down.

A series of booming sounds rang out one after another, and a large amount of smoke and dust surged and rose.

Upon landing back on the ground, Ringo Ameyuri and Hozuki Mitsuki, who had just obtained the flag, rushed forward without hesitation, weapons in hand.

"Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique!"

"Iai*Double Flash!"

However, just as the two launched their attack at lightning speed...

Amidst the smoke and dust.

From the center of the tattered shield standing on the ground, a dark cannon barrel suddenly extends out.

Gravel, hiding behind the sandboat's large shield, now revealed a ferocious look in his eyes.

"Gray Secret Technique * Sandstorm Cannon!"

"BOOM—"

A massive air blast was instantly ejected from the metal cannon barrel.

The powerful recoil caused the ground to tremble slightly.

The smoke and dust from the previous explosion were instantly blown away.

The sand boat, which had just endured a brutal bombardment, could not withstand such violent use and was directly blown apart by the recoil.

However, this attack, which depleted the puppet's lifespan, was aimed directly at Ringo Ameyuri and her companion, who were rushing forward at top speed.

If you slow down time, you can see it.

This enormous wind projectile even contained tiny grains of iron sand that shimmered with a dark purple luster.
