Kazashiro appeared at the place where the Shadow Clone and Setsuna had fought before.
The first thing he did after landing was to draw his Ninja Blade.
In a fit of anger, Kazashiro threw his Ninja Blade aside. He was extremely grateful that he had learned Medical Ninjutsu; otherwise, he might have had to take the Three-Tails to the Pure Land for the New Year.
Oh right, Tailed Beast can be resurrected.
If I want to be resurrected, it depends on whether a kind person will Impure World Reincarnation me in the future.
Kazashiro, panting heavily, used Medical Ninjutsu to stop his bleeding. Fortunately, Setsuna hadn't applied poison to the knife, which allowed Kazashiro's condition to gradually improve.
"Damn it, my Chakra is running low."
Seeing that the wound had stopped bleeding, Kazashiro stopped the treatment and had the energy to sense the remaining Chakra in his body.
"I can barely activate the Flying Thunder God once. As long as I get back to Kakashi and the others, I'll be truly safe..."
Struggling to his feet, Kazashiro dared not rest for too long. He glanced at the bodies of Yamanaka Zen and Shimura Ikko on the ground and said with some helplessness, "I'm sorry, it seems I can't collect your bodies for the time being."
After saying this, he was about to concentrate on sensing the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai held by Kakashi and the others when he was interrupted by a male voice.
"It's alright, I can collect all your corpses for you."
The sound of the male voice made Kazashiro give a wry smile, and he turned to look at the person who had come.
From the shadows, a ninja with long green hair, thick eyebrows, and full lips Mist Ninja with a half-smile, carrying two strange long swords.
Good news, the person who arrived was not the Masked Man from before.
The bad news is that the other party is now a higher threat level than the Masked Man.
"Who do we have here? It's none other than Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Lucky Three Treasures!"
Kazashiro recognized the Mist Ninja before him by the weapon in the other's hand.
"The Lucky Three Treasures?"
When Raiga Kurosuki first heard the title, he was a little confused, but judging from Kazashiro's expression and tone, he could guess how much of the title was meant as a joke.
"What a sharp-tongued brat! Even on the verge of death, you still can't resist showing off. Looking at the corpse on the ground, you're Konoha ninja too, aren't you?"
Amused by Kazashiro's attitude, Raiga Kurosuki raised his Lightning Blade, surrounded by a large amount of lightning, preparing to let Kazashiro experience Yang Mouxin's electrotherapy. However, before that, he still gave Kazashiro a choice:
"Is the explosion in the distance related to you? What do these corpses represent? Kid, if your answers satisfy me, I don't mind giving you a quick death."
"Lord Raiga, this brat seems to be the White Death God of Konoha."
Just as Kazashiro was gathering his last breath to prepare for a final showdown, several Mist Ninja appeared behind Raiga, one of whom immediately recognized Kazashiro's identity.
"Um?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's voice, Raiga withdrew his Chakra and carefully examined Kazashiro for a while by the moonlight.
"So that's how it is. With that appearance, it is indeed the White Death God."
Although he looked quite miserable, with dried blood clots all over his body and face, it couldn't completely hide the handsome face of the boy in front of him. Raiga Kurosuki quickly confirmed Kazashiro's identity.
"Capture him alive!"
Upon learning Kazashiro's identity, Raiga Kurosuki immediately changed his target.
The Kirigakure leadership had already issued orders to capture Kazashiro when the opportunity arose, with the aim of figuring out why Kekkei Genkai unique to their village would appear in Konoha.
There are still two smoke grenades left...
Seeing the Mist Ninja rushing towards him, Kazashiro had no intention of fighting. He reached into his ninja tool pouch at his waist, took out the last two smoke bombs, and threw them out.
Thick black smoke obscured the Mist Ninja's vision. Raiga Kurosuki frowned and used his Lightning Blade to guide the lightning strikes to disperse the thick fog.
"Chase!"
Looking at the spot where Kazashiro had been standing, Raiga Kurosuki stared thoughtfully at the pool of blood on the ground.
As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he was aware of the Jinchuriki's self-destruction plan, but the violent explosion that just came from there was clearly not part of that plan.
Moreover, the other party was seriously injured, which contradicts the planned chase.
There was no news whatsoever about the location where the Tailed Beast were imprisoned, which made Raiga Kurosuki sense a dangerous atmosphere.
Just like the feeling that green-clad man gave me back then.
That terrifying Taijutsu dealt a severe blow to both Raiga Kurosuki's mental and physical health.
"Since no members of the Sealing Squad are with me, I'll just consider the plan a failure!"
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Raiga Kurosuki decided to abandon the plan and capture that brat alive!
Enduring the pain in his body as he moved through the forest, Kazashiro had no energy left to sense the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. From today onwards, I will definitely train hard for the Flying Thunder God Technique and never slack off in my training again."
During his escape, he couldn't help but complain, lamenting that he hadn't taken the Flying Thunder God seriously enough, which had led to this situation.
Bending down to dodge what seemed like the umpteenth Kunai shot from behind, Kazashiro pulled a shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, took a deep breath, and imbued it with wind-style Chakra.
"Wind Release: Shuriken!"
Compared to Ninjutsu, this method conserves one's already limited Chakra and causes considerable trouble for the pursuers behind.
To these ordinary ninjas without Sharingan, the shuriken thrown by Kazashiro was no different from a regular shuriken.
With the first unlucky guy losing his arm due to carelessness, the remaining Mist Ninja realized that the shuriken before them concealed a hidden secret weapon, and began to distance themselves from Kazashiro.
Seeing that his intimidation had succeeded, Kazashiro then threw out several shuriken that were not imbued with Chakra.
By relying on these deceptive tactics, Kazashiro managed to prolong his life for a little longer.
The situation is developing in a positive direction.
Until Raiga Kurosuki made his move.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Net!"
A sudden, widespread lightning strike caught Kazashiro off guard, striking him squarely and sending him plummeting straight down from the tree.
To make matters worse, as he fell, several Mist Ninja, as if afraid that Kazashiro wouldn't die, threw several Kunai and shuriken, which accurately pierced his back before being stopped by Zai Raiga Kurosuki.
"Idiot, didn't I say I was going to capture him alive!"
Although he said that, Raiga Kurosuki clearly had no intention of punishing the other party. Instead, he slowly walked towards Kazashiro, fearing that the other party might make a last-ditch effort.
There was no way around it; Kazashiro's reputation was indeed formidable, and the psychological trauma that Might Duy had inflicted on him was quite profound.
"Phew... Is this the end...? I shouldn't have been so greedy with Isobu. I should have just run away after using up the Great Bullet..."
As he watched helplessly as Raiga Kurosuki approached him, Kazashiro didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
