"Enough! With a powerful enemy before us, keep your mouths shut!"
Members of the Yuki Clan stepped forward to act as peacemakers.
Since everyone was there to protect Lord Gekkō Raito's village, the Kaguya Clan could hardly say anything more. They snorted and turned away.
Meanwhile, Deidara's mind was in turmoil.
These guys can actually turn invisible? They've been lurking all around just to catch me off guard and stab me in the back!
Transparent Release? They even have such a rare Kekkei Genkai? Damn it, what's going on with Kirigakure? Is this still the Bloody Mist Village?
While Deidara was struggling to make sense of it, a thick mist carrying a sweet, bloody smell suddenly swept toward him. He immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong.
His exposed skin rapidly began to redden and ulcerate.
This is... Acid Mist?
Scared out of his wits, Deidara hurriedly jumped back.
As he dodged, Deidara looked at the back of his hand. A large patch of skin and flesh had already been corroded away, exposing the red tissue beneath.
Bastard! Which monster is it this time?
He jerked his head up.
He saw ninjas from the Yu Wucheng Clan arriving on the battlefield, controlling the poisonous mist.
"Lord Mizukage may be away right now, but you scoundrels chose this moment to invade Kirigakure. Do you really think there's no one left in our village?"
More and more ninjas from the various clans gathered, making it practically a Kekkei Genkai exhibition.
Mei Terumi stepped forward with an elegant yet dangerous gait, her gaze as cold as a blade.
"Brat, I remember your face. You're a member of the Akatsuki, aren't you?"
"That explosive brat from Iwagakure. I never expected you to remain so restless even after becoming a rogue ninja."
