Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 464 Undying, Monster

Just as Qing was thinking this...

The nine members of the three teams also stopped what they were doing.

After all, all that could be seen was a raging inferno, and there seemed to be no need to continue the attack and reduce the enemy to ashes.

Without the support of strong winds, the raging flames gradually weakened at a steady pace.

However, as far as the eye could see, the scorched earth was still littered with burning fires.

The strange and bizarre clay golems that had attacked were now scattered from their formation by the previous tornado.

One by one, they fell from the sky, sprawling out on the scorched earth before them.

Just when all the Hidden Mist ninja thought that these unknown invading enemies had been easily and inexplicably dealt with by an unknown force hidden within the village.

Those eerie clay golems, however, wobbled and stood up again one by one.

With the scorched earth and flames covering the ground, these puppets looked like a demon army that had just crawled out of hell, extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"What?! What?!"

"Monster! This is an immortal monster!!"

Seeing that the enemy was able to rise again and regroup unscathed after such a large-scale attack, they were amazed.

All the Hidden Mist ninja present looked terrified.

The unknown is often humanity's greatest fear.

Moreover, in the perception of ninjas including Ao, the chakra fluctuations of these clay puppets were only similar to those of ordinary genin.

Although their numbers were enormous, it was impossible for them to survive a fire of that scale before.

Even if it were truly a clay puppet, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago by a fire-style ninjutsu of this scale.

But at this moment, the truth was laid bare before everyone.

Just as Qing was at his wit's end and was preparing to have the three units use wind attacks again to temporarily blow away the puppets to defend themselves,

But then came Elder Yuan's voice from behind.

"This is an undead army created by demonic wraiths!"

Qing turned around and saw Elder Yuanshi, escorted by several members of the Dark Guard, leading the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata to the front of the formation.

However, at this time, Qing didn't have time to care about how these two people who were currently the most in need of protection in the village had swaggered to the front line.

He simply stared intently at Elder Yuan Shi before him, waiting for him to give more specific instructions.

Elder Yuan knew the situation was critical and didn't waste any words, speaking directly.

"This undead army created by demons can ignore all damage and once wreaked havoc in the ninja world during the Warring States period."

Upon hearing that it could ignore all harm, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

This is a true 'undying army'!

"Then how are we supposed to fight?"

Fortunately, just as everyone was filled with fear, Elder Yuan Shi continued speaking without stopping.

"However, the enemy was sealed away by the priestess of the Land of Demons during the Warring States period. Although we don't know why they have been unsealed and are now attacking the village, there are two ways to deal with these monsters."

"The first step is to find the demons behind the undead army and kill or seal them away."

"Another option is to seal these undead puppets separately!"

Putting aside the fact that the demons sealed in the Land of Demons, located at the far west of the map, have escaped without any news from the ninja world, they even actively attacked Kirigakure.

Although Elder Yuanshi mentioned two methods, they are essentially both sealing techniques.

This is usually the first method people think of when they can't find a solution in the ninja world.

only.

With his Byakugan, Ao is currently the strongest sensory ninja in Kirigakure.

However, he did not detect any special targets within his perception range.

There is simply no way to carry out a decapitation operation against the so-called demons.

The second method.

These thousands of undead puppets are right in front of me.

Even if the sealing ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village's sealing team worked themselves to death, they still couldn't seal them all!

However, now is not the time to hesitate, as the puppet army is gradually approaching.

Qing immediately gave the order again.

"Order the remaining Sky Guard ninja in the village to disperse and search for the mastermind behind this!"

"Three-person teams! Divide the battlefield into groups of three!"

"The sealing team is right here at the main gate. Define the sealing area!"

"All the other ninjas are here! After the three units finish dividing the battlefield, the Jonin will lead them to capture the immortal puppets and seal them together."

At this point, Qing can only temporarily alleviate the pressure on the sealing team by sealing in batches.

Fortunately, there are three units available.

Although these undead puppets cannot be injured, they can still be swept up by the strong winds, and for the time being, they cannot pose a real threat to the village.

After arranging all this, Qing turned to Elder Yuan Shi beside her and said in a sincere tone.

"Elder Yuanshi, I would like to trouble you to order Minister Kushimaru Kurihara to lead a small spies on standby. If the Kongbu discovers the location of the demon, I would also like to trouble them to carry out a surprise attack and decapitation."

Kushimaru Kurihara is still the head of the Anbu and, theoretically, should only take orders from the Mizukage, Tachibana Kenkawa.

Even now, with Jianchuan Ju absent, only Elder Yuan Shi is qualified to make arrangements for them.

However, what's most upsetting for Ao right now is that most of the Sky Division's ninjas have been sent to Sea Fog City to prepare for the Joint Chunin Exams.

With only the remaining instructors and trainees, finding the lurking monsters is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean.

Sending a sensory ninja squad to break through the lines and search would undoubtedly be like throwing good money after bad.

While the others had already begun to act, Qing was still racking his brains to think and speculate.

The sensory ninja named Nishimae Tadahisa who was the first to use sensory ninjutsu to detect the enemy among the original guards at the village entrance.

He rushed up to Qing in a flustered manner and said quickly and nervously.

"Lord Ao! Before you arrived, I sensed over twenty enemies within my ninjutsu, all possessing at least Jonin-level evil chakra! But after that, all of that chakra vanished!"

"What!" Qing's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

It should be noted that, according to his sensory ninjutsu after he arrived, the enemy consisted only of these genin-level immortal puppets from beginning to end.

Before he could even reprimand the man, he was asked why he hadn't mentioned such important information earlier.

Suddenly, a series of explosions and eerie monster roars came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Qing heard it.

The captain of the three-item unit, Terumi Hideyuki, roared with a somewhat stern anger.

"deep!!!"

Qing heard the sound and quickly turned around to look.

Then they saw the undead puppet army that had already been divided and processed.

Suddenly, more than twenty humanoid monsters, exuding a terrifying purplish-black aura, leaped out.

Among these monsters, the three who were the leaders, whose faces could still be vaguely discerned, were none other than the Hozuki Shingetsu Squad, who had mysteriously disappeared some time ago.

"Mei! Zabuza!!"
