Sage Art: Ice Release: Ice Dissipation Cloud Scatter Great Burial Array

The Third Mizukage, who is in power in Kirigakure, is an old man.

Having once accompanied the First Hokage Mizukage to the First Kage Summit, he had long lost his former glory; now, he was merely an old man with squinty eyes.

At this moment, he was sitting in a chair reserved for Mizukage, his squinting eyes fixed on the scroll in his hand.

Beside the Third Mizukage, Genji looked to be about the same age as him stroked his bald head, his gaze fixed on a white-haired boy inside the room.

"Sunagakure has agreed to our request."

Upon seeing the scroll placed on the table, Bi, a trusted confidant of Genji, stepped forward, picked it up, and respectfully handed it to Genji.

Unlike Kirigakure, in Konoha, the elders enjoy the same power as the Kage.

Therefore, although Bi's actions seemed impolite, the Third Mizukage did not retaliate against her.

"Should we take action? That's Scorching Release Pakura, and took away countless of our ninjas."

When Genji saw Rasa's behavior of wanting to have his cake and eat it too, he burst out laughing.

"However, since they're willing to use a false excuse to lure that guy here, if they attack her from an ambush, they shouldn't suffer too much loss."

The Mizukage was optimistic about the operation.

As we all know, ninjas are generally low-defense.

Dust Release cool or not? Whoever it points at dies.

But Kunai hits accurately, the ninja will still die.

Throughout the long life of the Mizukage, only two people have never died from Kunai.

One is Madara Uchiha, and the other is Hashirama Senju.

The former possesses the legendary Susanoo, which is the strongest defensive stance.

The latter possesses an almost abnormal vitality; let alone one Kunai, even a hundred Kunai its body would probably not be a problem.

Oh, I heard that in his Hashirama Senju once planned to commit suicide with Kunai, but was stopped.

Tsk tsk, I wonder which idiot fell for his trick and actually believed that a Kunai kill this guy.

What do you think?

Emerging from her reverie, Mizukage looked at the white-haired boy before her, her face expressionless.

"We should end the struggle with the hidden villages on the mainland as soon as possible and focus on recovery."

The boy spoke slowly and in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"Yes, that's right, Yagura."

The Mizukage nodded to Yagura, entrusting him with the task. "You can handle it."

This kind of thing should have been left to Suikazan Fuguki.

As a result, that fool died on the land of the Land of Fire, without even leaving behind a complete corpse.

Even Samehada was captured by Konoha.

No, it's not just Samehada, but also Lightning Blade, the Kubikiribōchō.

Even the Three-Tails--

What was initially thought to be a spree to exploit others has turned out to leave our side the most vulnerable.

The Iwagakure attacked the Kumogakure with a slap on the left and a punch on the right, then attacked Konoha Hidden Leaf Village, and finally retreated unscathed.

The Kumogakure's attack on the Sunagakure Village was repelled by the Iwagakure Sunagakure, and their attack on the Hidden Iwagakure resulted in an ambush and the death of one of their Kage. Their attack on the Hidden Konoha Village has made little progress so far, and the newly appointed Fourth Raikage is stubbornly choosing to continue fighting the Hidden Konoha to the death.

The Sunagakure lost its Strongest Kazekage in history and was beaten by the Kumogakure, but suffered no substantial losses and is now quietly licking its wounds.

He himself has lost the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, a large number of ninjas, and a Tailed Beast, yet he dares not speak of it.

Damn it, Konoha.

Everything else is negotiable, but he really has no solution to the Tailed Beast issue.

All the Mist Ninja were on the mission died, so the Mizukage didn't know whether the Tailed Beast were sealed or killed.

If it's the former, then that's troublesome, as it means that Konoha, already incredibly strong, has gained a new ally.

If it's the latter, that's fine. At worst, we can just wait a few years at the place where the Three-Tails revived, and subdue it as soon as it comes back to life.

"Sunagakure is arrogant and ignorant. Doesn't it realize that even we didn't gain any advantage? Where do they get the confidence to succeed?"

As the Mizukage, a standard old-school leader in the Shinobi World, Rasa's thoughts were practically transparent to him.

Isn't it just that he wants to join forces with Kumogakure to take down Konoha?

Iwagakure couldn't do it, can you?

If there were even the slightest possibility, how could that Two-Tails so readily agree to unconditional peace?

"After this matter is over, send a letter to Konoha. If they are willing to return the captured Ninja Blade, we are willing to sign a peace treaty with them."

The loss of the Tailed Beast must not be made public, as it concerns the reputation of a hidden village and a series of other issues.

I agree.

The Genji nodded.

In order to kill Pakura, Kirigakure dispatched fifty Mist Ninja.

They lay in ambush in the narrow pass, quietly waiting for Pakura's arrival.

Before reaching the narrow pass, Pakura successfully encountered the Mist Ninja who came to greet her.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The Kunai pierced her back, and what the other person said made her realize that she had been betrayed by higher-ups.

If everything goes smoothly, the Mist Ninja will be able to defeat the Scorching Release Pakura with zero casualties.

However, an uninvited guest arrived in the narrow passage area.

Unable to accept the unique "delicacies" of Shikkotsu Forest, Kazashiro ignored the Katsuyu's desperate pleas and resolutely chose to go outside to eat something better.

Then they arrived at the place where the Mist Ninja had laid an ambush.

This area is not far from the Shikkotsu Forest, and even the mist that permeates it is exactly the same as there.

The sounds of battle attracted Kazashiro's attention, making him realize that a fierce battle was taking place in the narrow passage in front of him.

"A narrow passage! This is a perfect spot for an ambush; we can't just go in carelessly!"

After commenting on the treacherous terrain, driven by curiosity, Kazashiro quietly sneaked into the battle area.

Because of the previous sneak attack, Pakura's combat power has obviously declined a lot. The fireballs created by her Scorch Release cannot protect all her vitals, Kunai constantly passing through her defenses.

"Tsk tsk, that back, it's a shame not to get cupping done. Is it from Sunagakure?"

Seeing the Forehead Protector the other person was wearing, and considering the Mist Ninja who attacked her, even with Kazashiro's intelligence, she could somewhat recall the origin of this scene.

"The betrayed Scorch Release ninja, Pakura, that should be her name."

Just as Kazashiro was recalling Pakura's name, the battle not far away was nearing its end.

Unable to condense a fireball any longer, Pakura's vision began to blur.

[Am I going to die here? Rasa, you--]

"Let go of that woman, let me handle this!"

The boy's voice rang out, and after weighing the pros and cons, Kazashiro decided to step in and save the guy.

If it can be used for one's own benefit, that would be best; if not...

Then force her to work for you!

"Who goes there?!"

The Mist Ninja were caught off guard by the sudden sound, and then they saw that the originally damp ground was now covered with a layer of ice.

Forcibly pulling their feet out of the ice, before they could even figure out who the attacker was, Kazashiro's voice echoed through the narrow passage:

"Immortal Technique: Ice Release - Ice Dissipation Cloud Scatter Great Burial Array!"
