Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 578 Ambush?! (Third update, please vote!)

Perhaps it's because the previous topics were too heavy for these young people who are still relatively inexperienced.

During the rest of the journey, no one spoke again.

The young people remained silent, quickening their pace through the snow.

In the blink of an eye, they had already traveled a considerable distance from the capital of the Snow Kingdom.

However, at that moment...

Guren and Uchiha Shisui, who were running at the front of the group, suddenly changed their expressions.

The two pushed off with their feet almost simultaneously, quickly dodging to the left and right.

"Be careful!"

"Enemy attack!"

Just as the two men were issuing a stern warning, several white bandages suddenly sprang out from beneath the previously calm snow surface.

The thin, white bandages, like sharp blades, swiftly sliced ​​through the air, making a sharp, piercing sound.

Fortunately, the two leaders reminded them in time, and the four people behind them reacted quickly and slipped away from their original positions.

The bandages that had launched the sneak attack seemed to have no intention of continuing their pursuit after their initial attack failed.

It merely thrashed wildly in the air a few times before quickly shrinking back into the distance.

The scene returned to calm.

The six men immediately drew their weapons and stared intently ahead with tense expressions.

Only then did a figure slowly emerge from behind the snowdrift.

"That outfit!!"

Upon seeing the newcomer's full appearance, all six were shocked, with Xue Huo, who had the weakest composure, even exclaiming in surprise.

This person was not tall and appeared to be about the same age as the others.

White hair, white skin, and the lower half of her face was completely wrapped in white bandages.

However, these are not the main points.

What shocked them the most was that this person was actually wearing a loose black robe with purple pupils!

"A person with zero organization!!"

As a member of the peacekeeping force, I have never received any missions related to the zero organization, and even the force itself is slowly beginning to change.

However, given that this was the initial goal of the unit, how could the few people present not know about the uniform style of the zero-organization unit?

However, it was precisely because of this that they were all extremely nervous.

According to internal training intelligence from the maintenance and control forces, every official member of this Zero organization who can wear a black robe with purple eyes possesses strength no less than that of the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Even Uchiha Shisui, who already possessed genuine Jonin-level strength, was starting to sweat at this moment.

The short guy opposite me didn't make any moves, but an invisible sense of oppression still came over me.

Even when the previous "trash" Wind and Waves went all out at the end, it didn't have this kind of power.

"A full-fledged member who wasn't mentioned in the intelligence! How did they end up here?!"

"And judging from the situation, it seems they've been lying in ambush here all along, specifically targeting our team?! Why?"

Suppressing his fear, Uchiha Shisui quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

The three tomoe in his eyes had involuntarily surfaced.

However, upon seeing this, the white-haired 'boy' opposite showed no sign of wariness. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a slightly eerie smile.

"Hehehe, Orochimaru really wasn't lying to me. Sharingan, Ice Release, Crystal Release, Platform Release, Transparent Release, hmm, and one more piece of trash~ What a happy problem~"

As the white-haired "boy" spoke, his gaze swept over the six people one by one, just like a diner deciding which dish to taste first.

Only when looking at Ibiki Morino would a hint of disdain flash in his eyes.

The way he looked at his prey immediately sent chills down their spines.

However, they dared not make any move at this moment, and could only secretly circulate their chakra, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Only Ibiki Morino, perhaps because he wasn't seen as prey, experienced less pressure.

Instead, the white-haired 'boy's' somewhat disdainful gaze ignited a fire in his heart, causing his knuckles to turn slightly white as he gripped the kunai tightly.

However, he knew that acting impulsively in front of such a powerful person would only lead to trouble, so he could only grit his teeth and coldly question him.

"Why would someone as powerful as you deliberately ambush us juniors here?!"

He didn't believe that the white-haired 'boy' with a baby face could actually be around the same age as him and the others.

However, when faced with Ibiki Morino's question, the white-haired 'boy' simply tilted his head slightly, seemingly puzzled as to why this 'piece of meat' could talk.

"Trash, you don't deserve to speak!"

Without any actual movement, a white bandage suddenly shot out from the white-haired 'boy's' sleeve, like a sharp sword, and rapidly flew towards Ibiki Morino at the back of the group.

The sharp whooshing sound immediately shattered the silence in the arena, and everyone sprang into action.

At the forefront, Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan spun rapidly, his figure flashing quickly as he swung his short sword at the bandage.

however.

With a "clang~" sound.

The seemingly delicate bandage felt as if the short knife had struck hard steel when it cut into it.

It didn't budge an inch.

On the contrary, no matter how Morino Ibiki tried to dodge from behind, the bandage remained firmly locked onto him like a serpent, no matter how he adjusted his position.

Just as the bandage was about to pierce Ibiki Morino's neck.

On the other side, Honglian and Fengxin had also quickly completed their ninjutsu hand seals.

"Crystal Release: Shuriken Frenzy!"

"Taiwan Escape * Fierce Wind Rift!"

Combination Ninjutsu * Crystal Shattering Tornado!

A howling tornado, carrying a large number of pink crystal shuriken, spun rapidly toward the white-haired 'boy'.

However, the white-haired "boy" standing still remained unmoved in the face of the overwhelming combination of ninjutsu, still holding the posture of shooting out bandages.

The tornado, carrying snow and the Crystal Release shuriken, produced a series of crisp clanging sounds, as if all the attacks were striking a solid piece of steel.

When the wind and snow dissipate.

The white-haired 'boy' was surrounded by crystal fragments scattered all over the ground, and the dark metallic luster on his body was only just beginning to dissipate.

Even the bandage sticking out from the cuff was pointing straight forward.

Clearly, the attack had no effect on him whatsoever.

The group, who were originally going to continue the pursuit, immediately felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and quickly turned around to check on the safety of their teammate, Ibiki Morino.

It was only at this point that everyone noticed.

At this moment, a tall and burly figure appeared in front of Morino Ibiki without him noticing.

The newcomer carried a heavy sword on his back, grinned to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth, and his palms also shimmered with a metallic sheen.

He gripped the bandage that was aimed at Ibiki Morino firmly with his right hand, preventing it from advancing any further.

"Kissame-sama!"
