Land of Water battlefield.
Hidden Mist Village stronghold.
Hearing Kisame's words,
Mei Terumi asked in confusion, "Why?"
In terms of safety, Hidden Mist Village was on home turf. If they split up and scattered, Cloud Village would have no way to hunt them down.
After all, the only fast ones in Cloud Village were Yugito and the Raikage.
Yugito was still injured, so she could not be that fast.
Kisame bared his teeth. "That way, the Cloud Village pursuers will be more concentrated."
"Teacher sent word. He has two old friends who want to teach Cloud Village a lesson."
Mei Terumi said in surprise, "Mr. Flying Waterfall's friends?"
Mei Terumi had already witnessed Flying Waterfall's abilities. During the earlier assault on the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he had severely wounded Killer B, who had still not fully recovered.
If they were Flying Waterfall's friends, then they had to be at least that strong.
"Good!" Mei Terumi was overjoyed.
"Pass down the order. Gather up and withdraw..."

Yugito, one of Cloud Village's fastest fighters, became Hidden Mist Village's scout.
She ran at the very front, watching Hidden Mist Village's movements.
Just as the Raikage had expected, Hidden Mist Village had indeed abandoned the stronghold and fled.
But one thing differed from what she had expected.
"What? Hidden Mist Village is withdrawing together?"
The Raikage was somewhat surprised.
Yugito answered with certainty,
"That's right. I just scouted it out. Several hundred Hidden Mist Village shinobi on this island are withdrawing south together."
The Raikage had worried from the start that Hidden Mist Village would split up and scatter.
If that happened, Cloud Village, unfamiliar with the terrain, might not catch more than a few people in the end.
Yet Hidden Mist Village was actually moving
