The dense branches rushed past as Jun Tianlin made his way toward the site of the explosion. It took him less than two minutes to reach the area.
Jun Tianlin had just concealed his presence and hidden himself among the lush branches of a great tree. As he surveyed his surroundings, another series of explosions rang out one after another...
"Boom!"
After a tremendous blast, a sharp female cry suddenly cut through the explosions, interrupting Jun Tianlin's attempt to keep watching.
"Who are you people? How dare you ambush the future Fifth Mizukage in the middle of the road!"
Through the explosions, Jun Tianlin faintly heard the furious voice of a young woman. What she said surprised him greatly.
"Oh, so something big really is going on. I never expected that while sneaking off to Konoha to carry out my plan to steal the Uchiha bloodline, I'd stumble across the future Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure being ambushed on the way.
"Kirigakure, with its cruel rules, has the successor to the Fifth Mizukage ambushed and killed? Heh, now that's a rare sight!"
Jun Tianlin spoke casually as if he found it amusing, but anyone familiar with him knew that when he spoke with a cold laugh, his anger had likely reached its peak and was about to erupt...
Just like now. The moment he heard the woman identify herself as the successor to the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure, an unprecedented bloodlust rose in Jun Tianlin's heart!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Jun Tianlin, born into Kirigakure's powerful Kaguya Clan—the kings of close combat—had nearly been killed when Kirigakure wiped out his clan. Fortunately, Orochimaru had suddenly appeared and rescued him and Kimimaro. Otherwise, the two of them would have long since gone to meet the Death God.
That was why Jun Tianlin had always hated the Kaguya Clan for keeping him and Kimimaro imprisoned. He also had no fondness for Kirigakure's leadership, especially the Mizukage, whom he viewed with murderous intent.
After all, the order to wipe out the Kaguya Clan had come directly from the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura!
Yagura had issued that order, and Jun Tianlin, who had nearly lost his life because of it, had somehow survived, clinging stubbornly to life with a burning hatred in his heart.
Although Yagura had given the order to wipe out the Kaguya Clan, it was Yagura's own ANBU who had carried it out. No one else had much to do with it.
But Jun Tianlin was no saint. His rage and bloodlust naturally extended to others as well, filling him with loathing for them.
Originally, Jun Tianlin had only planned to come and investigate the explosions out of curiosity, then head straight to Konoha once he found out what had happened.
But now, after accidentally hearing that one of them was the successor to the Fifth Mizukage, all thoughts of staying out of it vanished. In their place came a calm, murderous intent.
When a gentleman grew angry, blood flowed within five paces!
And Jun Tianlin was hardly a gentleman. When he grew angry, he would fight anyone and everyone, taking down anyone he wanted gone!
"This unexpected turn of events really is heaven helping me. It wants me to repay Kirigakure for the grudge I bear from nearly dying there!"
Hidden among the leaves, Jun Tianlin let a vicious grin curl his lips and murmured softly, his voice cold and laced with killing intent...
