The Battle of the East Coast, Part Three

Suikazan Fuguki felt a pang of regret; he should have ordered his men to retreat, so that they could have come to their rescue.

At this moment, being pursued by a four-person team, Suikazan Fuguki fled for his life.

Within Uzumaki Taki's perception range, Suikazan Fuguki Chakra a vast amount of chakra, making him easy to spot; the group wouldn't lose track of him at all.

However, Suikazan Fuguki extremely cunning, Chakra, and would occasionally scatter his Shadow Clone clones to escape.

The Sharingan cannot see through Shadow Clone, but Uzumaki Taki's senses can detect Chakra within a radius of nearly ten kilometers.

One characteristic of Shadow Clone is that their Chakra is constantly being depleted. Uzumaki Taki ignored these shadow Uzumaki Taki and the four of them kept chasing after the one Chakra would occasionally replenish, seemingly resembling the original.

"He's right ahead! His Chakra is running low!"

Uzumaki Taki pointed the way forward.

"I smell it, about 300 meters ahead."

Inuzuka Manaomaru also spoke coldly at this moment.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are renowned figures in the Shinobi World. Killing them and bringing back their bodies would be a great achievement."

The Suikazan Fuguki's face was contorted with rage as he deployed a dozen Shadow Clone beneath the ground, setting up Explosive Tag.

"You'll keep biting me until you drop dead!"

The ninjas, remnants of the Village of the Bloody Mist era, are cunning, but can also be extremely ruthless in crucial moments.

Suikazan Fuguki's Shadow Clone were usually invincible in his escapes, but the sensory ninja opposite him could directly lock onto his true form, filling him with despair.

"Suikazan Fuguki, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and a big fish—still not dealt with?"

Naraku led his team, following the trail left by Uchiha Ruofeng's squad.

If it were a normal ninja, Naraku might not have chased after him and would have let him go. But this Suigetsu Fukunaga was clearly a big fish, so he definitely couldn't be let go.

Boom!

"Um?"

Naraku felt a pang of anxiety as he watched the violent explosion ahead and sped off.

"Cough cough!"

"The body is gone, only this large sword was seized."

During the explosion, Uchiha Ruofeng and the others were protected by Wakafumi activating his Susanoo Ruofeng time; otherwise, the four of them would likely have been in serious trouble.

"Yes, take the broadsword and go report back."

The four of them headed back and soon encountered Naraku's group.

"Naraku, that Seven Ninja Swordsmen committed suicide, leaving behind only a large sword."

Manao-maru, carrying a large sword, handed it to Naraku with a look of interest on his face.

Naraku took the greatsword and swung it twice.

"If I remember correctly, Samehada should be alive, so why does this look like a dead thing?"

Naraku sensed something was wrong, so he took out Kunai from his ninja tool bag and forcefully stabbed it into the large sword.

With a bang, the broadsword turned into a clump of orange hair.

"He actually managed to fool you all, hahaha, that's hilarious! This Suikazan Fuguki's survival skills are indeed impressive. He's pleased me, so I'll spare his life."

Looking at the giant sword whose hair had turned orange, Naraku couldn't help but laugh.

Naraku intrigued that Ruofeng had managed to escape with his life, so he decided to spare his.

The four members of the Ruofeng, blushed slightly, showing some embarrassment. Then they heard Naraku give an order:

"Continue the raid mission"

"Hi!" X70

Naraku's elite guards, having suffered no losses in the previous battle but having captured twenty corpses, did not linger and continued their assault.

Karatachi Yagura of the ship, watched as Hidden Mist, from the East Coast, gradually made their way onto the ships, their brows furrowing slightly.

"They've only been fighting for a few hours, and they're already running away. They're all fierce when they fight amongst themselves, but when it comes to fighting Konoha, they're a bunch of good-for-nothings."

Yagura was extremely dissatisfied with the Hidden Mist of Kirigakure.

Especially the Suikazan Fuguki who just escaped.

Suikazan Fuguki, carrying Samehada on his back, was currently brimming with Chakra, and his injured Samehada had been healed by absorbing Chakra.

As for where the Chakra he absorbed came from, only heaven knows.

"The Konoha Ninja are in trouble. I was just fighting that Asura of Konoha. I went through a lot of hardship to finally defeat the Asura of Konoha's team, but they had too many reinforcements. My troops were outnumbered, so I had to retreat."

Suikazan Fuguki showed no signs of the distress he had experienced while being chased. In his words, he had defeated a large number of Konoha Ninja, including Orochimaru one of the Legendary Sannin), White Fang of Konoha of Konoha), and Asura of Konoha. Many of Konoha's well-known ninjas had suffered defeats at his hands.

But there were too many enemies, so he had no choice but to retreat. Coupled with the tired face of Suikazan Fuguki, it seemed as if he were telling the truth.

"Alright, prepare for another attack."

Yagura stopped Suikazan Fuguki from speaking. Yagura knew the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's ways perfectly well and didn't want to argue.

"Hi!"

With Suikasho Suikazan Fuguki agreed, but his eyes kept darting around, glancing at distant boats, as if he were thinking of hitching a ride and escaping.

On the East Coast, a terrifying giant serpent, hundreds of meters long and entirely purple with black stripes, swept across the land, devouring many ninjas and trees along its path.

"Orochimaru, two hundred sacrifices and that's it? Find a few more, find a few more."

Manda spoke arrogantly to Orochimaru above him.

"There are many more ahead, don't rush, Manda. This time you can have ten thousand sacrifices if you want, it just depends on whether you can eat them all."

"I can't eat? Are you kidding me?!"

The roar of Manda was deafening. Manda swept through the area, swallowing many Kirigakure Ninja whole.

Manda is cruel and bloodthirsty; Sannin's reputation as one of the Orochimaru is closely related to this terrifying giant serpent.

Despite his arrogant words, Manda is actually very cautious. Snakes are extremely careful creatures, and if there were really 10,000 ninjas, Manda would probably run away without saying a word.

Naraku led his troops to the East Coast, and looking at the giant purple serpent in the distance and the endless ships on the sea, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Fighting the Kirigakure Ninja of the Land of Water is extremely unwise."

Naraku is invincible, but Naraku guards, who followed Naraku in charging into the Hidden Mist camp, are likely to be in trouble.

While Naraku was still pondering how to deal with the distant ships, he saw a giant purple serpent, hundreds of meters long, burst out from the East Coast and then disappear into the water.

"Orochimaru, Manda? What are they planning to do?"

Naraku the East Coast for a while, and more and more Konoha Ninja gathered.

Many ninja teams did not stop, but crossed the water directly towards the distant ships of the Land of Water.

Naraku recalled his strategy and orders: to expel the Hidden Mist East Coast East Coast, where enemy ships were just a short distance away.

Many Konoha Ninja continued to carry out Naraku's orders and went to expel Hidden Mist. However, some Konoha Ninja, after completing their rendezvous mission on the East Coast, remained there awaiting further orders.

To the right of Naraku, a group rushed to the East Coast, paused briefly to rest, adjusted their formation, and then headed straight for the distant Hidden Mist ships.

Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, Naraku could still make out the person's silver-white hair.

Naraku drew his long sword and said in a deep voice:

"Sign the final assault! Get ready for a major battle!"

Uchiha Inabi pulled out Signal Flare and shot it directly into the sky, where a green, Konoha -shaped firework bloomed.

On the East Coast, some Konoha Ninja stopped, while others went forward to drive them away, each with their own methods of carrying out orders. At this moment, in order to coordinate operations, Naraku directly issued the signal for a general attack.
