A breeze blew through the thick fog, Asura's black robe rustled in the wind, and the cloak embroidered with the Nine Mask Svāhā pattern was gently raised.

He strode to Suikazan Fuguki's door and pulled out Kubikiribōchō.

As Kubikiribōchō was pulled out, Suikazan Fuguki's fat body lost its support and split into two pieces like a chopped watermelon. It fell to the ground with blood, intestines and other internal organs.

The blade that was blasted with holes in the battle between Kubikiribōchō and the blasting knife Shibuki began to slowly heal itself after absorbing the blood of Suikazan Fuguki.

This is the characteristic of the Broken Knife·Kubikiribōchō. It absorbs iron from the enemy's blood, repairs itself, and also restores the user's physical strength. Therefore, Kubikiribōchō has another name: the knife that cannot be broken.

Menma bows his head, Suikazan Fuguki is already dead and cannot die anymore.

Turning on Mind's Eye of the Kagura, the chakra of Hozuki Mangetsu is quickly moving away from the battlefield in the thick fog.

The hydrated Hozuki Mangetsu did not launch another attack from the thick fog. Not only did it abandon the bodies of Suikazan Fuguki and Biwa Juzo, but it also abandoned Kubikiribōchō and Samehada, and simply "sold them away".

"She's quite decisive." Using Mind's Eye of the Kagura to sense Hozuki Mangetsu's escape route, Menma snorted lightly and had no intention of pursuing it.

If he really wants to fight in Kirigakure, he can make some big moves in Kirigakure when Kaguya Clan rebels, or directly disclose the scandal of their Fourth Mizukage being controlled to the Kirigakure ninja clan including Mei Terumi.

"Hmph hum~" Menma began to hum softly, searching the corpses of Biwa Juzo and Suikazan Fuguki to see what loot there was.

On the other side, Hozuki Mangetsu's hydrated body was galloping through the dense forest.

It wasn't until he escaped a certain area that he dared to return to his human form. He leaned against a dead tree, holding on to the wound on his left shoulder and panting violently. He quickly treated the wound with Hydrification Healing Technique.

Cold sweat mixed with wet water dripped from his chin. Hozuki Mangetsu looked back into the depths of the thick fog, his purple pupils still trembling slightly with fear.

After being chopped by Asura just now, Hozuki Mangetsu directly entered the hydration state, and suddenly found that Suikazan Fuguki had abandoned him and ran away!

It's exactly the same way of escaping as when Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was kicked to death by Konoha Genin. It's really shameful!

So while Asura was chasing Suikazan Fuguki, Hozuki Mangetsu, the genius of the Hozuki Clan, slipped away without any hesitation.

"Is that guy really a human?" Hozuki Mangetsu recalled the brief but frightening battle just now.

It was only at this time that Hozuki Mangetsu discovered that the opponent had always been able to handle it with ease, and it seemed that he did not use his full strength at all.

I have always been passive, as if...

Hozuki Mangetsu couldn't help but think of the feeling of being trained by family elders when he was a child.

It's just that the enemy will not show mercy, but you need to go all out. If you are not careful, you may be killed like Suikazan Fuguki and Biwa Juzo!

Damn it! That guy didn't use all his strength at all! Instead, he was testing our fighting ability and fighting style?" Hozuki Mangetsu finally reacted, and a sense of humiliation rose from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, Biwa Juzo and Suikazan Fuguki were dead, and two Ninja Blade-" were lost. Thinking of the losses in this battle, Hozuki Mangetsu felt even heavier, and galloped away in the direction of Kirigakure.

Ever since Third Shinobi World War Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was kicked to death four times by that woodworking ninja, Raiga Kurosuki brought the thunder knife·

Ya defected, and the second successor of Ninja Blade has not yet been selected.

There are only three Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in Kirigakure, and now two of them died in one battle!

More importantly, Kubikiribōchō and Samehada were taken away by the enemy!

Hozuki Mangetsu passed over the rooftops of the village, and from time to time, he could see the devastated village. The ninjas who were cleaning the battlefield collected the bodies of the Kaguya Clan, and the medical ninjas shuttled around to treat the injured ninjas.

Some buildings were also damaged due to the ninjutsu of this rebellion. Mizukage Building in the distance was also damaged due to the rebellion of Zabuza.

Half of the top floor was blown away, and there was still some smoke rising from the broken walls.

The morning sunshine failed to dispel the gloom that enveloped the village, and the faint smell of blood in the air made the title "Bloody Mist Village" even more dazzling.

"Master Mizukage!" Inside the half-collapsed Mizukage Office, Hozuki Mangetsu knelt on one knee on the ground.

Karatachi Yagura stood with his back to him by the collapsed window, his short figure elongated by the morning light, casting a distorted shadow.

"The mission failed?" Karatachi Yagura's voice was cold, but he didn't seem surprised.

"Yes." Hozuki Mangetsu lowered his head and reported the result of the battle, "The enemy is very powerful. Biwa Juzo is not even a single enemy of the opponent, and Water Prison Technique is useless to the enemy. The opponent's chakra is so huge that Samehada also rebelled--."

When reporting the results of the battle, Hozuki Mangetsu slightly raised his head to observe, but only saw the back of Karatachi Yagura.

"After I was injured, Suikazan Fuguki saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but was chased and killed by the opponent."

There is no need to say the rest.

Whether it was the death of the two Jonin or the taking away of Kubikiribōchō and Samehada, he, the captain of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, had an unshirkable responsibility.

"You disappoint me so much." Karatachi Yagura's cold voice came from above his head, making Hozuki Mangetsu feel a little stunned.

"Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors and wait for the village's decision." However, Karatachi Yagura did not directly punish Hozuki Mangetsu, but just asked him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

"Yes!" Hozuki Mangetsu replied, and then Body Flicker Technique left.

After Hozuki Mangetsu left, Uchiha Obito came out of the shadows.

"Can't even three Hidden Mist jounin stop Asura? It seems that he hasn't caused any injuries to the opponent, and even Ninja Blade has been taken away." Obito Tiger-patterned Mask's wrinkled face was full of solemnity.

"What a bunch of trash," Obito sneered at Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Although he did not find out the strength of Asura in the last fight, Obito still very carefully manipulated Karatachi Yagura to send out three Jonin holding Ninja Blade, among which Suikazan Fuguki and Hozuki Mangetsu were Elite Jonin.

The combat power of the three-person combination, plus the three Ninja Blades with different abilities, makes them capable of fighting even against Tailed Beast.

"Hmph, if I hadn't been worried about forcing Hozuki Clan back, this kid Hozuki Mangetsu" But although it didn't cause any injuries to Asura, the death of Biwa Juzo and Suikazan Fuguki also greatly weakened Kirigakure's strength.

Uchiha Obito walked to the edge and looked down at the village that had become riddled with holes after last night's battle. It was so similar to the Nine-Tails Incident he launched in Konoha four years ago.

After the Yuki Clan was exterminated, Kaguya Clan was also wiped out. Several Jonin died, Biwa Juzo and Suikazan Fuguki died, Zabuza defected, and two Ninja Blade were taken away by Asura.

Now Kirigakure is extremely weak!

If it weren't for the worry of forcing Hozuki Clan to turn against him, Obito would want to control Karatachi Yagura because of the failure of this mission.

Get rid of Hozuki Mangetsu!

But after all, Hozuki Clan is not as isolated as Kaguya Clan, nor is he as marginalized as Yuki Clan.

Most of the ninjas in Kirigakure have a good relationship with the Hozuki Clan, and civilian ninjas also have a high impression of the Hozuki Clan.

Because Hozuki Clan produced a very prestigious Mizukage.

"Lin--" Sharingan under Tiger-patterned Mask stared at the dilapidated Kirigakure.

Obito tightened his fists, and the pleasure of revenge swept through his body.
