"Clap, clap, clap~" Applause rang out from the smoke. When it cleared, Tetsuhiro stood revealed, completely unharmed.
Not even his armor, clothes, or face had a speck of dust on them.
He looked Hon Chicken over mockingly and praised him. "Not a bad fireworks show. It even shook the wax out of my ears."
"Now that your performance is over, it's my turn!"
Suddenly, Tetsuhiro flashed to Hon Chicken's side.
Agonized screams instantly echoed across the harbor~
While they stood dumbfounded, Tetsuhiro used the Body Flicker Technique again to appear beside Board Chicken, clamping a hand around his neck and slowly lifting him up.
"Crack!"
(Ten thousand words omitted here...)
The sight terrified some of the chickens into screaming and preparing to fight for their lives. Others knelt on the ground, and a closer sniff revealed the stench of urine~
"Ptooey!" Board Chicken was still struggling in his death throes.
"Still got some strength left? Then let's keep going!"
He immediately dropped Board Chicken, who had died with his eyes wide open.
Using the Body Flicker Technique, he appeared beside Stone Chicken. His icy voice made the chicken feel as though he had fallen into a demon's lair.
"Let me ask you something. Where's your Chicken Coop?"
"How did you..." Only after speaking did he catch himself, hurriedly covering his mouth.
"Oh? You know, but you don't want to tell me? Got it."
He took out the little knife he had kept from his last torture session.
A short while later, the other party spilled everything.
It turned out that the one he sought was in an experimental zone in southern Kanto.
"Good. As long as they're still there! I need to pick up the pace."
At that thought, he immediately turned around, eyes reddening, and charged into the flock!
The Pot Chickens were so frightened that they clucked wildly...
"Ah! A demon! Run!"
"I surrender! Please spare me, grandpa! I don't want to become poached chicken!" One Pot Chicken immediately dropped into Dogza, kowtowing and sobbing.
"Uh..." Unfortunately, Tetsuhiro did not stop.
Watching Hashirama slaughter the enemy with his own hands made Madara itch for action, and he immediately joined in...
A short while later...
The cowardly chickens who arrived to clean up the battlefield trembled in terror and vomited nonstop...
The setting sun stained the slaughterhouse red. Chickens lay everywhere, all turned into servings of poached chicken by Tetsuhiro and Madara with their cleavers and ninjutsu.
The cowardly chickens were immensely relieved that they had already submitted. Otherwise, they would have met the same fate.
Then they would not only have been turned into poached chicken for nothing, but their hens and chicks would have been left homeless as well.
Meanwhile, the perpetrators had already reached southern Kanto Prefecture.
Tetsuhiro saw everything clearly wherever his Byakugan scanned.
"This is the place!" He flew toward an enormous factory.
Tetsuhiro formed hand seals with both hands!
"Fire Release-Great Fireball Technique!"
An unremarkable fireball shot from his mouth and landed inside the factory.
Its power was mediocre, only blasting a few beasts to death.
"Hashirama, you think you can use Fire Release? You're ten thousand years too early! Let me teach you!" After that jab, Madara immediately formed hand seals.
"Fire Release-Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A mighty wall of flame engulfed the entire factory.
"Let's move farther away."
Madara was a little curious. "I heard you put Tobirama in charge of the research. Why not leave this to him?"
Tetsuhiro answered with a firm, serious attitude. "We can take over everything else, but nothing here is to be left behind.
"I'd rather start the research over from scratch myself!"
Then he patiently explained his principles to Madara. "Madara, a person needs a moral line they won't cross. Only then can they be a person of integrity."
"Then... never mind." Madara really wanted to bring up Tobirama's Impure World Reincarnation, but the words reached his lips and remained unspoken.
Instead, he said, "Tch. Hashirama, you still love lecturing people."
"This is the first. I remember there were plenty more like it. We'll clear them out one by one. Let's head to the next place."
"Nani? We've completely lost contact with the Kanto flock? It's only been how long? Could the enemy have jammed their communicators? What about faxes and telegrams?"
"No response from any of them? Damn it!"
Slam! The phone was slammed down.
Kimura Chicken had only just joined up with the flock stationed on the Peninsula.
He had never expected the Kanto flock, which had set out first, to lose contact!
He hurriedly made calls to other locations.
"Moshi moshi~ This is War Chicken of the 14th Chicken Regiment."
"The Kanto chickens have lost contact?! Understood.
"You want to speak with Lord East Chicken? He's busy right now, and so is Lord Pine Chicken!"
"All right. I'll pass on the message."
Bang! The instant he hung up, War Chicken's face darkened, and he muttered grimly to himself, "You want to see Big Chicken? Are you even worthy? The top honors for defending the ruler will belong to my 14th Chicken Regiment!"
He turned around with an entirely different expression and rode up to East Big Chicken.
"Reporting to East Big Chicken! We've lost contact with the Kanto Army and suspect they may have been wiped out. Please decide our course of action!"
"Indeed. According to intelligence from our agents, the enemy had only two people, yet they were able to destroy the Chicken Coop and force it to surrender. Their strength is clearly extraordinary. There's a strong possibility that the Kanto chickens have been wiped out.
East Big Chicken said, "Relay my orders!
"All chicken regiments are to turn south and rendezvous with the other force. We cannot keep fighting separately!"
"Admiral, the 14th Chicken Regiment requests permission to cover the rear!"
"War Chicken, think this through."
"Even if we die, we will have no regrets!"
"Plum Big Chicken, what do you say?"
"War Chicken speaks for the entire 14th Chicken Regiment."
"Very good. Then I'll leave you enough ammunition. Move out."
"Hai!"
