"Lord Third Kazekage Rasa!?" Ebizo stared at the Third Kazekage Rasa in disbelief. Was he seriously going to sell him out?
"This is something you can do. I have to bring them back! Don't worry, the organization won't shortchange you!" the Third Kazekage Rasa shouted. Then electromagnetic power began pouring from his body!
"I... I understand, Lord Third Kazekage Rasa." Ebizo's mouth was filled with bitterness. So he, too, could become the one who was abandoned?
But since the Third Kazekage Rasa had already made this decision, he could not hold them back, no matter what!
"Puppet Manipulation Technique! Puppet Defense!" Ebizo shouted. Puppets began appearing before him one after another, forming a shield against the spear of Thunder Punishment poised to strike down!
"Magnet Release! Electromagnetic Eternity!" The Third Kazekage Rasa had not completely abandoned Ebizo, either. He immediately used a defensive ninjutsu to reinforce the Puppet Technique.
Soon, an enormous shield appeared!
Rumble!!!
Bzzzt!!!
As Thunder Punishment collided with the Puppet Defense technique, a mushroom cloud of smoke rose from the ground!
Meanwhile, the Third Kazekage Rasa took the opportunity to lead that group of puppet ninja out, soon reuniting with the people outside.
"We fell into an ambush laid by those Konoha bastards! Elder Ebizo volunteered to act as bait to give us a chance to break through their encirclement!" Once he emerged, the Third Kazekage Rasa immediately announced this at the top of his voice.
Upon hearing the Third Kazekage Rasa's words, the puppet ninja who had followed him inside all looked stunned.
But when they remembered that they, too, had benefited, they all kept their mouths shut.
After all, if anyone really dug into the matter, they might end up being the ones caught in the mess!
"What!? Those Konoha bastards actually laid an ambush!"
