Using Puppet Corpses as stepping stones?
The Oni People actually came up with that? Didn't it gross them out?
The leader's mouth twitched.
But they didn't have much choice at this point, and ninja weren't that squeamish.
Before long, they arrived directly above the island Kirigakure had sunk.
Kirigakure had done a thorough job, smashing the island's rocks before using Earth Release to turn the stone into mud.
Once the seawater washed over it, the island was gone.
And beneath the seawater, they had to go down at least five meters to reach rock.
After a flurry of work, they finally had solid ground beneath their feet.
Though the ground beneath them was still rather "unstable."
They had originally brought the Puppet Corpses to use as cannon fodder in large-scale battles.
They hadn't expected to use them here, let alone like this.
But they didn't have much time to rest. After a short break, they began improving the island beneath their feet.
Kirigakure's second attack, along with its decision to sink the island, shocked the other shinobi villages.
Kirigakure could actually be that underhanded?
Iwagakure and Sunagakure took it well enough. For now, they were just watching the show.
But far away in the Hidden Leaf Village, Tsunade was shaken when she heard the news.
Could Kumogakure lose?
No, it wouldn't!
So far, Kumogakure and Kirigakure had only engaged in small-scale clashes.
Neither side had deployed its main forces yet, so the outcome was still uncertain.
Still, Tsunade was puzzled. Who had come up with the dirty trick of sinking the island?
That bastard had practically cornered the market on underhanded tricks!
Hinata had seen Tsunade a few times over the past several days.
Almost every time she saw her, Tsunade looked as though she was grinding her teeth.
