Chapter 210 The Second Choice
At first, when he heard the news that the Konoha ninjas were about to arrive on the battlefield, Suigetsu Hozuki not only did not panic, but also showed a smug smile.
Kisame Hoshigaki held off Mei Terumi with all his might, while the remaining Fuguki subordinates and White Zetsu worked together to quickly injure Mei Terumi's squad members.
Qing was also severely injured by them in an instant.
Meanwhile, Suigetsu Hozuki used Samehada to suck a mouthful of Kisame Hozuki's chakra, causing Kisame to collapse weakly to his knees on the ground.
"Let's go!"
The next moment, Suigetsu Hozuki gave an order and led everyone to quickly and cleanly evacuate.
They've mastered this tactic of using someone else to do their dirty work; it's clear this isn't their first time doing it.
Prior to this, several elite Jonin of Kirigakure, including Yagura Karatachi, had been harmed by them in this way.
By doing this, those people eventually died at the hands of the Konoha ninja.
Even after the war, when the two villages settled accounts, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon wasn't afraid of being exposed.
It's perfectly normal for ninjas to die in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"With the elimination of Juzo Biwa, Orange's squad is finished. After the defeat, the commander will definitely have to apologize."
Hehe, now no one can stop me from taking off that straw hat when I get back, not even that old codger, Master Yuan!
At this moment, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon on the retreat route finally couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh.
He even thought with some regret: if he had known this would happen, he should have sought cooperation with these white monsters sooner.
Although these guys are all bastards who are harming the village, as long as they can maintain their current status and power, or even go further, what does it matter if they are bastards?
Meanwhile, in stark contrast to Suigetsu Hozuki's smugness, Terumi Mei, abandoned on the battlefield, was filled with despair.
The seriously injured team members were all urging her to leave quickly.
"Captain, don't worry about us, you have to go! Don't let the people of Konoha catch you!"
"Captain, it doesn't matter if we die, you must survive!"
Mei Terumi, with tears streaming down her face, stubbornly shook her head, unwilling to leave.
However, the next moment, Qing pushed her away.
"Stop being naive, Captain!"
He glared angrily at Mei Terumi, his eyes filled with both blame and sorrow.
"The Hidden Mist Village is completely rotten now. If we want to save our village, we must abandon those naive ideas!"
Remember, Mei Terumi, from this day forward you have only two choices: either become the Mizukage, or be reduced to ashes!
This time, Qing didn't use a code name, but called out Mei Terumi's real name directly.
His eyes were already filled with the will to die.
"Let's go. I have white eyes, so Konoha's first target will definitely be me. I will do my best to hold them off."
Captain, you still have a chance, you must survive!
Remember, you only have two choices. Stop harboring illusions!
However, just as the atmosphere here had reached its limit, a somewhat untimely voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
"Well, actually I think there's a third way."
Mei Terumi, who was trying to hold back her tears, turned her head in surprise upon hearing this and looked at Juzo Biwa, who had a calm expression.
She didn't understand: they were both dying and unable to escape, so why did this person still look so calm?
The next moment, before they could even ask what the so-called "third option" was, the answer came to them on its own.
"!"
A figure instantly entered the arena, moving with incredible speed.
The newcomer was wearing a Konoha headband, so Mei Terumi instinctively blasted a Lava Release blast at him.
"Molten Release: Molten Monster Technique!"
The "Konoha ninja" who arrived didn't even glance at Mei Terumi, and quickly drew his sword to the side.
Blue wind chakra rapidly gathered, forming a transparent wind wall in front of him as the blade swung up!
Due to the need to conceal his identity, Shiba Kiyokawa temporarily put aside his most proficient Ice Release and had no choice but to pick up his former most proficient Wind Release ninjutsu again.
Unexpectedly, reviewing the old has given him new insights recently.
He is now less and less reliant on hand seals.
Many of the ideas that were once in my mind have gradually transformed into real moves as my strength has increased.
Take, for example, this move, "Wind Release: Wind Barrier!"
A wall of wind completely blocked the molten lava spewed out by Mei Terumi.
Just as he was about to continue, Pipa Juzo hurriedly spoke up.
"Boss, let them go. They're not from the Bloodline Ninja Clan, and they have no connection with those white guys."
In that instant, Mei Terumi, Ao, and the heavily injured members of the Anbu squad all froze on the spot, their CPUs practically smoking from the sheer volume of information.
Weren't they tricked by the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon?
Isn't Konoha the knife that Suigetsu Hozuki used to kill people?
Why is Juzo Biwa, who is being schemed against, now calling a Konoha ninja "boss"?
How many conspiracies and secrets are hidden behind this?
Mei Terumi suddenly felt that compared to these despicable competitors, she was simply as clueless as a fool.
Shiba Kiyokawa then stopped, looking at Biwa Juzo with a half-smile.
"Oh? You've grown quite ambitious in just a few days. Give me a reason."
Pipa Juzo laughed, "These past few days, the elite of Kirigakure have been almost completely wiped out by that group. If I want to take control of the village in the future, I'll need a few helpers to assist me, right?"
Then, Juzo Biwa proactively assured them, "I will persuade them."
After a moment's hesitation, Shiba Kiyokawa agreed to Hiwa Juzo's request.
"In the past, I stood with them."
After giving the instructions in a commanding tone, Shiba Kiyokawa sheathed his katana and then performed a hand seal, something he hadn't done in a long time.
"Ice Release: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"
Several ice mirrors quickly rose up, encasing Juzo Biwa, Mei Terumi, and several of her teammates inside.
Then the top was also covered with ice.
After the igloo had completely concealed them, the ice mirror began to rapidly transform, presenting a scene that blended seamlessly with its surroundings.
In no time, the igloo seemed to vanish into thin air, completely blending into its surroundings.
No matter which angle you look at it from, the mirror will present an unsolvable optical illusion.
This technique also has the effect of shielding perception, and it is the culmination of Shiba Kiyokawa's research on illusion techniques.
Having done all this, Shiba Kiyokawa set off without hesitation to pursue the fleeing Suigetsu Fuguki!
Subsequently, many Konoha frontline ninjas, mainly from the Uchiha clan, tracked them down to this location, but none of them discovered the Ice Mirror Hut that was so close to the Crying Ruler.
They glided past the igloo one after another, stepping on tree branches, and no one noticed anything unusual and stopped.
This not only allowed Juzo Biwa and Mei Terumi to escape unscathed, but more importantly, thanks to Kiyokawa Shiba's intervention, Konoha's pursuit was not delayed at all.
Not long after, when Kisame Hoshigaki and his group, who had not run far, were intercepted by Kiyokawa Shiba, a large number of Konoha ninjas caught up and surrounded them in a short while!
At that moment, everyone in the group, who thought their conspiracy had succeeded, was completely bewildered.
"Why is this happening? Didn't those guys, like Juzo Biwa, put up even the slightest struggle?"
How did Konoha catch up so quickly?
The smug look on Suigetsu's face just moments before was now completely frozen in place.
Why is this different from how smoothly things went a few days ago?
They had meticulously planned everything, devising what they thought was a perfect scheme to use someone else to do their dirty work. Little did they know that the "knife" they had placed their hopes on would be stolen at the most crucial moment!
