Of the dozen or so people, only two managed to get back.
The guy who was leading the group had just shown a relieved expression when he felt a sharp pain in his groin. A rat had sneaked into his pants when he wasn't looking.
He immediately went berserk and crushed the rat, trying to escape, but he collapsed to the ground.
It's estimated that no one ever imagined that one day, so many people in the Hidden Mist Village would die or be injured because of a group of rats!
"These rats must be controlled by someone, and they should be hiding not far away. I'll go find them and kill them!"
Hozuki Mangetsu, who had just unleashed a shot, said with a solemn expression.
There are rats everywhere outside now, and it seems no one is more suitable for this task than him.
At least his water-transformation technique can protect him from rat attacks.
But at that moment, a figure that was only a little over 1 meter tall flew in from mid-air and stood on the wall.
Then he opened his mouth wide, as if he were vomiting, and spat out all the cursed spirits hidden inside his body!
[Chapter 167 Stabilizing the Situation (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)]
The Thögen's body contains a vast extradimensional space far exceeding its physical size. It can normally be used for feeding, devouring large numbers of humans at once, but it can also accomplish what is happening now.
A large number of cursed spirits of various shapes and sizes fell from the sky. Some broke their legs, while others were crushed to death by the cursed spirits behind them.
But none of that matters!
Because there were so many, they didn't care about such minor losses.
"What are you all standing there for! Beat them up! Kill them all!"
Qing roared loudly, immediately bringing everyone back to their senses.
As a result, the many Hidden Mist ninjas suddenly realized what was happening and unleashed a series of ninjutsu, causing massive casualties.
However, these cursed spirits were completely fearless. The huge ones stood in front to absorb damage, while the fast ones charged directly at the Mist Village's lines. The ones with ranged attack capabilities also immediately began to counterattack.
In particular, those cursed spirits with the ability to fly caused considerable chaos as soon as they joined the battle.
Casualties began to appear one after another on the Fog Shadow side.
Mei Terumi frowned and began to quickly form hand seals, but her target was not these ordinary cursed spirits, but the red octopus-headed cursed spirit on the wall that looked somewhat special!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A huge water dragon opened its mouth wide and roared as it flew out, about to crash into Tuogen.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of cursed spirits on the field. Tuogen suddenly stopped moving, as if the entire army of cursed spirits in his body had been transferred out.
Then, when faced with the surging water dragon that had already flown in front of him, his actions surprised everyone present!
Suddenly, the Thögen opened its mouth and inhaled forcefully.
With a loud bang, the enormous water dragon transformed into a primordial stream, which was then completely sucked into the mouth of the dragon.
And that's not all.
After finishing eating Mei Terumi's water dragon, Tagore immediately looked at the Kirigakure ninjas who were taking turns releasing ninjutsu to destroy cursed spirits, and then the four tentacle-like fleshy tendrils on his face began to writhe strangely.
"Pfft~"
With a strange utterance, the water-style ninjutsu that the Hidden Mist ninja had just released all went out of control and quickly gathered in front of Tagore, forming a huge water sphere.
"How is this possible?!"
"Our ninjutsu has all been controlled by the enemy?"
"What kind of monster is that?"
Many Hidden Mist ninjas were instantly thrown into disarray. Most of them were only skilled in Water Release techniques, and the scene before them was like a knife to their throats, telling them to stop resisting.
Moreover, the failure of their ninjutsu caused gaps and weaknesses to appear in their already tense defenses.
The cursed spirits at the forefront had taken this opportunity to rush into the Kirigakure's lines. If it weren't for Ao's good command, who had already arranged some ninjas skilled in close combat to guard the front of the lines, things might have already fallen apart.
"Calm down! Don't panic!"
"The ninja unit retreats twenty meters and prepares to use ninjutsu again..."
"Melee troops, stop these damned monsters here! Don't let them get an inch!"
"Watch out for those rats, make sure you don't get bitten!"
"Lord Mizukage, the enemies on the other side of the wall are now your responsibility. Hozuki Mangetsu, you take ten men to cover the Mizukage. If you can break through, find the guy controlling the rat swarm and take him down!"
Qing's voice instantly drowned out everyone else's.
Although Mei Terumi is a good Mizukage, Ao is more experienced and calmer in situations like this.
Even though he had just lost his composure a bit...
Under Ao's command, the members of Kirigakure quickly calmed down. The ninjutsu unit retreated swiftly without hesitation, reorganized their formation, and prepared to unleash their ninjutsu at any moment.
Without the ninja troops' killing and restraining effects, the casualties among melee units increased dramatically.
But everyone fought to the death and refused to retreat!
Some people, after being bitten by a rat, immediately and without hesitation rush into the cursed spirit or the rat swarm, then activate the explosive tags stuck in their clothes, and perish together with the enemy!
They were like an unbreakable nail, firmly rooted here, buying ample time for others.
Meanwhile, Hozuki Mangetsu and his ten companions, their faces filled with determination, charged straight into the enemy ranks like a sharp arrow.
Qing's meaning was very clear just now: these people are a suicide squad!
The mission is to use my own life to break through a path and help the Mizukage kill that special red octopus-headed cursed spirit and that bastard who is hiding somewhere and controlling the rat swarm!
Mei Terumi's face was as cold as ice, and the anger in her eyes seemed to ignite everything.
Although she knew in her heart that she had tried her best to conserve chakra to deal with the powerful enemy to come.
But seeing her team members fall one after another around her, she could no longer bear it.
Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!
The terrifying acid rained down again, turning a large area into a complete wasteland.
In this area, both cursed spirits and rats were completely annihilated, and anyone who touched them would die.
Then, Mei Terumi sensed the wind direction and, after arriving at a certain place, suddenly stopped and released her ninjutsu again.
Boil Release: Skillful Mist Technique!
The boiling, scorching steam, seemingly harmless, quickly swirled to one side, melting a large number of rats and cursed spirits without them even knowing what was happening.
Moreover, these mists continued to move, drawing in even more rats and cursed spirits.
As a Kage-level ninjutsu user, Mei Terumi instantly changed the course of the battlefield with just two ninjutsu!
The members of the Hidden Mist Village quickly stabilized their lines, and the pressure on them decreased dramatically.
However, as a probing attack, the water-style ninjutsu that the ninja squad had just used was once again broken by the red octopus-headed cursed spirit.
It was as if he was born with the ability to control the flow of water.
Left with no other option, Ao had to order the ninja unit to use other ninjutsu.
While most people are only skilled in Water Release ninjutsu, this is not absolute; some people still know ninjutsu of other attributes.
Sure enough, this time it was no longer under control and successfully caused some damage.
However, its scale is too small and its lethality is severely insufficient; it can only be said to be barely usable.
On the contrary, after the enemy's numbers were greatly reduced, the melee troops began a desperate counterattack.
Once a person picks up a knife and starts fighting desperately, you simply cannot imagine how terrifying the destructive power he can unleash!
The situation stabilized immediately, and it seemed that the scales of victory were beginning to tip in favor of the Hidden Mist Village.
All that's left is for Mei Terumi to defeat the red octopus-headed cursed spirit and find the one controlling the rat swarm, and then this crisis will be over.
Is it really that easy?
"You are the commander of the human faction?"
Suddenly, a harsh sound, like a crow that had been poisoned and rendered mute, reached Qing's ears.
[Chapter 168. Domain Unfolds, "Tomb"! (Fifth update, please subscribe!)]
Just as Hozuki Mangetsu was leading several powerful warriors to protect Terumi Mei as she broke through the encirclement, a guy wearing a tattered black robe and a bird-beak mask, under the cover of numerous cursed spirits and rats, finally approached the front line of Kirigakure's forces.
There's nothing we can do; the sickly fellow is just too fragile.
He was so fragile that neither the overwhelming ninjutsu attacks nor the occasional exploding tags could kill him.
On this perilous battlefield, all he could do was tread carefully, avoid attracting anyone's attention, and then venture into enemy territory to deliver that fatal blow!
Qing's reaction was incredibly quick; the instant he heard that voice, he knew something was definitely wrong!
He must have been targeted by someone on the other side.
So he immediately chose to retreat.
It wasn't that he followed his heart, nor was it that he was cowardly or afraid of death.
But at this critical juncture, he absolutely cannot afford to get into trouble!
If something happens to him and Mei Terumi gets caught up in enemy territory, then the leaderless Kirigakure will immediately face the crisis of being wiped out!
This is not an exaggeration; the Fog Shadow is indeed currently out of manpower.
We can't expect Master Yuan, who could be buried at any moment, to come to such a dangerous battlefield to command!
During his decisive retreat, he remained calm and immediately activated his Byakugan to locate the person who had spoken earlier, as well as to be alert for attacks that might come from any direction.
Strangely, he did not notice any enemy attacking him.
"We can't be careless. Just in case, I should evacuate further away."
Just as the thought crossed his mind, he finally saw a man wearing a tattered black robe and a bird-beak mask raise his withered arm covered in sores towards him.
"Domain expansion..."
"tomb"!
