"What else can we do?" Suikazan Fuguki glanced coldly at Kisame Hoshigaki. The thought of Kisame being too scared to act earlier filled him with anger. He said coldly, "Why didn't you act just now? Were you scared? You're useless!"
"This time, the losses are heavy. You're the only useless one who survived!" Suikazan Fuguki cursed at Kisame without restraint, gritting his teeth inwardly. That old codger Yagura Karatachi will definitely make a big deal out of this. He just became Mizukage, and his first act was to target Biwa Juzo... But I retrieved the Executioner's Blade, so even though we lost a few men this time, it should make up for it! I just hope that old codger Yagura Karatachi doesn't go too far, or I'll have to make the same decision as Biwa Juzo...'
While Suikazan Fuguki was considering the pros and cons, he didn't notice the chilling killing intent that flashed in the eyes of Kisame, whom he had just cursed. However, it disappeared in an instant, and he didn't say anything in response to Suikazan Fuguki's reprimand...
"Useless, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and retrieve Biwa Juzo's Executioner's Blade. It's time to leave. If those Konoha Anbu come after us, we won't be able to escape!" Suikazan Fuguki was furious when he saw Kisame standing there dumbfounded. He was not a good superior when dealing with his subordinates.
In his eyes, subordinates were just tools in his hands. As long as they followed orders, that was enough. He would not hesitate to use his subordinates as shields to create opportunities for himself to escape when faced with danger!
The reason he was able to escape from Might Dai was because he used a fellow member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist as a shield at the last moment, allowing him to escape successfully!
If those Konoha Anbu were to launch a counterattack, he wouldn't have the ability to resist in his current state!
"Yes, Captain..." Kisame didn't retort, appearing very respectful and lowering his head slightly, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes...
He came to Biwa Juzo's corpse and picked up the Executioner's Blade that had fallen beside him. Just as he was about to leave with Suikazan Fuguki, a terrifying commotion came from the nearby lake...
"Hahaha, I'm finally revived!!" As a roar soared into the sky, it was as if something had awakened from the bottom of the lake not far away!
The entire lakebed began to boil. Immediately afterward, a vortex appeared on the surface of the lake, and three huge tails with sharp barbs suddenly extended from the vortex. With just a light slap, the lake water surged, forming a tsunami-like torrent that crashed outwards!
"What happened?" Suikazan Fuguki had been vigilant about his surroundings. Now, seeing the commotion coming from the lake, his face suddenly darkened. He thought the Konoha Anbu had returned.
Kisame also looked over, his expression equally solemn.
"Hmm, what's going on? Samehada, what are you doing?" Suikazan Fuguki suddenly felt his weapon Samehada become extremely excited. If he hadn't been controlling it, it might have broken free and rushed towards that direction.
They didn't have Yei's Byakugan, so they couldn't see the vast and powerful Chakra fluctuations. However, as the monster in the lake appeared, they also saw its full appearance.
It was a huge monster covered in thorns and diamond-shaped patterns, with a hideous carapace and three thick tails swinging wildly, like a turtle. With the appearance of this monster, the lake began to surge!
Even non-sensory ninjas could sense the vast Chakra fluctuations within this monster!
Suikazan Fuguki suppressed Samehada, and when he saw the full appearance of the monster, his eyes widened involuntarily: "Tailed Beast? This is the Three-Tails!!"
That's right, the creature that appeared in the lake was none other than one of the nine Tailed Beasts, the Three-Tails Isobu!!
After seeing the Three-Tails, Suikazan Fuguki first showed a solemn expression, then, as if he had thought of something, a hint of joy appeared. However, looking at the tsunami-like torrent crashing towards him, he quickly flashed to the canopy of a large tree.
Looking at the Three-Tails wreaking havoc in the lake, Suikazan Fuguki's face became excited: "Quick, leave here! We must report this news to the village!"
Suikazan Fuguki was overjoyed, knowing that his chance to redeem himself had come!
After the Three-Tails died, Kirigakure had been searching for its whereabouts, but they had been unable to find any trace of it.
The rebirth of the Tailed Beasts is not very regular, and they appear randomly.
As the strongest weapon in the Ninja Villages, Kirigakure, which had lost the Three-Tails, naturally paid the most attention to it. They had to bring the Tailed Beast back to their village to strengthen their power.
Now, seeing the Three-Tails revive before his eyes, Suikazan Fuguki was also very pleasantly surprised.
If he brought this news back to the village, then... even if all his team members died on this mission, he would not be blamed, and it would even be a great achievement!
Against the Three-Tails, he was no match even in his full strength, let alone in his current injured state. They needed to quickly transmit this news back to the village, and they couldn't let the other Ninja Villages notice!
Not to mention anything else, that Konoha Hyuga Clan Anbu from earlier must have also learned about this situation!
The Tailed Beasts are coveted by all Ninja Villages, so they must retrieve the Three-Tails before the people from other Ninja Villages arrive!
That amount of Chakra... a Tailed Beast? If I had that amount of Chakra... I should be able to fight back against that Hyuga Clan Anbu again! Kisame looked at the Three-Tails, which caused the lake to surge with just a flick of its tail, and an emotion arose in his heart for no reason.
The thought of becoming stronger appeared in his mind!
However, after hearing Suikazan Fuguki's order, he didn't hesitate and left with Suikazan Fuguki, heading towards the location of Kirigakure!
Yei, who was in another location, also activated his Byakugan to look over. What he saw was a boiling, orange-red Chakra mass like the sun. Yei's pupils contracted slightly, and he blurted out: "Tailed Beast?"
In the Shinobi World, only the Tailed Beasts have orange-red Chakra.
His sensory abilities spread out, probing the full appearance of the monster. Yei was slightly speechless: "The Three-Tails? It actually revived here?"
Carefully examining the lake, Yei pondered, as if he had thought of something. He spoke: "The lake where the Three-Tails appeared in the original story?"
"Tailed Beast..." Yei had ideas about the Tailed Beasts, but he didn't have the ability to subdue them yet...
Even if he was at his peak, he didn't have the confidence to defeat a Tailed Beast...
Without risking his life, Yei was at most a Jonin-level ninja, and he might not even reach the level of an elite Jonin. He definitely couldn't beat a Tailed Beast...
"Forget it, I'll think about it later. The Tailed Beasts are a concern for all the Ninja Villages, and they won't give up easily. Moreover, the Shinobi World doesn't only have Tailed Beasts with such a huge source of Chakra. When I'm strong enough, there will be a way..." Yei muttered to himself, took one last look in the direction of the Three-Tails, and flashed away.
