Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 461 Attack on Kirigakure

"I surrender. My chakra is depleted."

Hearing Kabuto announce his surrender and admission of defeat.

Not only was Hozuki Mangetsu, who was fighting him, stunned on the spot.

The audience erupted in uproar, and even Tachibana Kanagawa, who was on the phone with Uchiha Hikaru, glanced at him in slight surprise.

However, Kabuto's decision to concede defeat at this moment was actually the result of his careful consideration.

Even if he continued fighting Hozuki Mangetsu, he estimated that he would have a 30-40% chance of winning.

but.

Firstly, Kabuto believes that both he and Mangetsu are from Kirigakure.

If the fight continues, the later battle scenes will likely be quite chaotic and not very entertaining.

Kabuto figured that Kirigakure, as the organizer, definitely didn't want to see this situation.

Secondly, the winner between the two will face Uchiha Shisui, who possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan, in the next match.

Although Kabuto felt that neither he nor Mangetsu, whether facing that person or not, would have an easy time.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu, who possesses the "Water Transformation Technique," has a higher chance of winning.

Therefore, given the current situation, Kabuto is not prepared to continue using up the full moon's power and reveal more of his trump cards.

I decided to concede defeat decisively.

When Haruyu, the chief examiner, came forward and announced the results of the competition, a smile appeared in Tachibana Kenkawa's eyes.

Especially when she saw Kabuto take out a stack of explosive tags along with three or four "explosive eggs" from behind a mound of earth, Hozuki Mangetsu's pale face made Tachibana Kanagawa almost burst out laughing.

'This little guy certainly has a lot on his mind.'

Just as Tachibana was about to end her communication with Hikaru Uchiha and continue watching the match.

A wave of chakra emanated from the ring in his hand once again.

"Hmm? Is it possible that Nagato will also have to report this this time?"

With some doubt, Jianchuan Ju accepted the new communication as well.

However, the mental connection had only just been established when Elder Yuanshi's urgent voice immediately rang in Jianchuan Ju's mind.

"Lord Mizukage! An enemy has attacked the village!"

Jianchuan Ju's eyes narrowed, and she stood up abruptly.

Let's rewind to half an hour ago.

Outside of Misty Village.

Four people dressed in black robes with purple circle patterns stood on the outside of a dense forest, their eyes fixed on the Hidden Mist Village shrouded in thick fog in the distance.

These four people are naturally the four members of the Zero Organization.

Upon closer inspection, the rings on the four people's hands are labeled "North," "Three," "White," and "South," respectively.

The only female member among them, codenamed "White," was the first to speak.

"Yagura, it's almost time. This time, the leader's message is that we cannot show ourselves."

"But aren't you very confident in the toys you've prepared? Then let them launch their attack. It'll be a good opportunity for us to see where your confidence comes from."

As for Yagura, whom Yekura mentioned, he did not choose to speak. His eyes remained devoid of emotion as he coldly looked in the direction of Kirigakure.

Ye Cang was not angry when he saw this; he just looked at his future partner with a playful expression.

In fact, Yekura herself did not have much ill will towards Kirigakure, or rather, the current Mizukage, Kenkawa Tachibana.

Previously, they were each serving their own master on the battlefield.

The reasons for his eventual defection could not be blamed on the other party.

Now, when she has the chance to make Kirigakure suffer, she's more interested in watching the show for fun.

Even if the leader didn't explicitly forbid them from taking action themselves, Ye Cang would probably just sit on the sidelines and loaf around.

However, another one, codenamed "North," Kakuzu, seeing that Yagura remained silent, spoke up somewhat impatiently.

"The leader only said that the main body is not allowed to take action, but I will still help anyway."

Then, a thud appeared behind Kakuzu, and three masked monsters made of black blood vessels rushed out and stood behind him.

After doing all this, Kakuzu glanced sideways at Yagura Karatachi and continued.

"My clone will accompany you later. Although I also dislike that brat Mizukage, you can't shortchange me a single penny of the 6000 million you promised!"

After saying that, Kakuzu looked at his partner, who seemed to be lost in thought, the last member of codenamed "Three".

"Wangliang, didn't you say you wanted to test out your recent results?"

The strange creature named Mouryou turned its neck with a series of cracking sounds, stared stiffly at Kakuzu, and then slowly spoke.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

If Tachibana Kenkawa were here, upon hearing the name "Mouryou," she would probably be able to guess the true identity of this new member of the Zero Organization who replaced Hidan.

It is the demon from the Land of Demons in the original theatrical film "Naruto's Death" that claimed to be able to destroy the world.

Its true form is an evil spirit born from the wicked thoughts of the original priestess of the ancient land of demons.

If it can be reunited with the body of a priestess, it will possess the power to "destroy the world".

Of course, you can just take those lines about "destroying the world" and "ruling the world" in the movie with a grain of salt. However, if we're talking about his own strength, Moryo is indeed stronger than most ordinary Kage-level characters.

However, unlike the other three, who all had some grudges with Kirigakure, Moryo himself had no interest in attacking this ninja village he had never even heard of.

Even joining the Zero organization was not of his own volition.

If it weren't for Obito Uchiha, the leader of the Zero organization, hiding the current priestess—his most suitable body—and forcing him into a deal, then he wouldn't have been able to survive. And now, the only white monster body he can possess for an extended period is one that only Obito can provide.

He would never play these ignorant mortals' childish games of building a peaceful world.

"Forget it, let's just destroy all these mortals!"

A deep malice flashed in his eyes, and Wangliang ignored Yagura, who was still pretending to be deep in thought.

He slapped the ground with one hand.

The next moment, the ground around them began to tremble slightly, and the soil surged outwards from the inside.

One by one, clay puppets, somewhat resembling terracotta warriors, emerged from the ground.

Clad in clay armor, wielding a clay spear, his eyes gleamed with a chilling yellow light.

One by one, these strangely shaped puppets crawled out of the ground and slowly began to march towards Kirigakure with heavy, uniform steps.

Seeing that the demon had launched its attack, the other two looked at Yagura Karatachi at the same time.

Yagura Karatachi remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about the rogue's unauthorized actions.

He simply waved his hand with a cold look in his eyes.

Followed by.

More than twenty figures, exuding a purplish-black evil aura, suddenly rushed out from the woods behind them and quickly caught up with the slow-moving puppet undead legion.
