The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

And within the perception of facial numbness.

There was no trace of other ninjas or civilians in the surrounding area.

It's obvious that Shibuki moved it away beforehand.

The Takigakure ninjas who were brought here by Shibuki initially looked puzzled, especially when they saw the cold expression on their leader's face, their doubts grew even stronger.

Just as a blue-haired man standing closest to Shibuki was about to ask something.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, everything became clear.

From the entrance path.

Thirty or forty figures flashed by, especially the figure of the water smoke at the head, as soon as they came into the sight of the blue-haired man and his companions.

The expressions of the Takigakure ninja changed drastically in an instant.

"Hookah!?"

"It's actually this guy who's back!?"

"How is this possible!?"

"Didn't the leader say that Shuiyan was seriously injured and that Ajun-san had already led men to pursue him?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

A look of shock appeared on everyone's face.

"leader?"

"Lord Shibaki!?"

At this moment, everyone turned to look at Shibuki, who was standing at the very front. Meanwhile, some of the Takigakure ninjas further inside could also sense the return of Mizuki and the others. Some hesitated about whether to come over, while others were determined to remain neutral until the end.

Regardless of their mindset, the current situation, on the surface, is that Shibuki is leading only a dozen or so of his direct subordinates to confront the group of Shuiyan.

Shibuki also failed to notice the different mindsets of his subordinates and the other Takigakure ninjas further away.

The moment I saw the hookah.

Shibuki stepped forward calmly: "So you've come back after all. Are you here to kill me?"

"Heh heh, it seems our weak leader has finally shown some backbone for a moment? The moment you drove me out of the village, you should have foreseen your future, Shibuki, this is your only fate."

With a smug look on her face, Shuiyan looked at Shibuki and said loudly.

"Even now, are you still going to pretend? Hookah, don't you know why you defected?!"

Shemu rebuked him sternly.

"Heh, a pretense? No, I've always been like this, Shibuki. It's all your fault, all those old guys' fault! What do I lack compared to you?! How can a mere brat like you lead a ninja village?! Just because you're the grandson of Chief Kyoya?! Don't be ridiculous, you're completely unqualified!!!"

With an incredibly crazed and twisted expression, Shuiyan spoke grimly.

He looked as if he wanted to devour Shibuki whole.

Shibuki also revealed an angry expression and shouted loudly, "Is it because of this position of leader?! You're going to such a ruthless extent, even colluding with outsiders?! Instigating a rebellion?! How can you face the village, how can you face Elder Wu?!"

"Decisive? How worthy of my conscience? It was those old bastards who wronged me first! That's right, I only wanted the leader's position, Shemu. If you know what's good for you, just kill yourself. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"boom!"

The chakra that erupted.

A chilling aura permeated the air.

From a general perspective.

Suigan is indeed a relatively strong ninja. Even though she is just an ordinary Jonin, she is already at the top of the pyramid in the vast ninja world. There are only a few Kage-level figures on average in the five great ninja villages.

Jonin are the true representatives of top-tier combat power.

"Heh heh, looks like I underestimated this guy. His strength is passable."

Sitting cross-legged on the top floor of a building, Mianma raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a faint look of surprise.

But on second thought, it's quite normal. After all, he's one of the higher-ups in Takigakure. It would be strange if he didn't have that kind of strength.

"Also, don't expect Wu Laogui to come to your aid. I've already sent people there to deal with that old bastard. You're completely desperate now, Shemu!"

Shuiyan looked at Shemu with a sinister expression and said.

The words that were spoken.

"What!?"

"this!?"

This caused the other Takigakure ninja in the back to have drastic changes in expression.

Only Shibuki regained his previous calm, as if he hadn't heard Suien's words at all.

"If that's the case, then if you want the leader's position, I'll be right here. Kill me, and the leader's position will be yours. Do you dare to fight me?! A fair and square duel to the death!"

Shibuki stepped forward, his chakra surging forth, and looked at Mizuno Satoru in the opposite position with a sharp look.

Such an arrangement would hardly be suitable for hookah.

Even Menma, who was about to make a move, was slightly taken aback.

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't the script we agreed on, is it?"

Menma stared wide-eyed at Shibuki in the seat below, inwardly complaining.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 213 The Power of Heroic Water (Third Update)

Was it a momentary lapse of judgment, or something else entirely?

Menma frowned, about to show himself and deal with Suigan, when he caught a glimpse of the other Takigakure ninja behind him, as well as the conversation between Mizuno Satoru and Shibuki earlier. A look of realization flashed in Menma's eyes.

'Is that so? Very well, then let me see your magnanimity, Lord Shibuki.'

That too came to a halt.

Just treat it as a performance. With the strength of these people below, even without considering the Nine-Tails' chakra, Menma is confident that he can completely control the situation.

There's no need to worry too much.

Meanwhile, the hookah smoker in the lower position was unaware that the situation had completely changed.

Shuiyan thought everything was under her control, but she was happy to inflict double blows and torment on Shibuki, both mentally and physically.

Especially inside the village.

Defeating someone with overwhelming force makes one's excellence stand out even more.

Go prove those old fogies made the wrong choice!

"Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Shuiyan gave a fierce smile.

"boom!"

The chakra that followed.

"Whoosh!"

With a swift movement, he charged towards the location where Shibuki was.

Shemu's expression hardened.

"Shh!"

That was a kunai that he simply pulled out with a flip of his hand.

From the perspective of facing it head-on.

"Clang!"

"Peng!"

The two then collided violently.

A dull thud as it fell.

Compare it to the explosive shockwave.

"Boom!"

Between the intersections.

In those few short seconds, the two had already exchanged more than ten blows, under intense pressure.

With their superior strength and experience, hookah users clearly had the upper hand.

Under high-frequency combat.

There will still be some gaps.

The hookah caught it keenly.

That was another heavy elbow strike.

"boom!"

It hit Shibuki in the chest.

"Well!?"

The immense force transmitted.

With a sharp pain in his chest, Shemu lost his breath and flew away.

"boom!"
