Kirigakure.
Juzo Biwa, Sasori, and Kakuzu engaged in a fierce battle; their target is unexpectedly difficult to deal with.
None of the Kekkei Genkai ninjas who can survive in the Bloody Mist are simpletons; they are all incredibly cunning.
At the slightest disturbance, they immediately call for reinforcements, probably because they were terrified of being tormented by the Fourth Mizukage.
" Jūzō, you traitor, how dare you come back..."
Elder Harumi angrily launched an attack on Juzo Biwa, who unhesitatingly used the Hidden Mist Technique, intending to continue his assassination attempt.
Just as Juzo Biwa was preparing to use the thick fog as cover to sneak away, he suddenly sensed someone silently creeping up to him.
clang!
The broad blade of the Kubikiribōchō blocked the enemy's sharp blade thrust.
Only then could Juzo Biwa barely make out that the enemy was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with bandages wrapped around his face, only his eyes showing.
"Did you succeed, Zabuza?" Elder Harumi inquired.
Juzo Biwa suddenly realized, "So it was you, you brat! I remember you, that demon who slaughtered all our classmates when we graduated!"
"Hmph, what right does someone who betrayed his own village have to wield this Kubikiribōchō!" Zabuza said.
Do you want this knife too?
Juzo Biwa plucked the hilt of his greatsword, using the round hole in the blade to instantly trap Zabuza's sword, preventing it from escaping.
Zabuza suffered from his youth; his strength and skill were no match for Jūzō's, and he was sent flying by the latter's kick.
"Kid, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer. I don't want to return the village to you yet."
"That's not up to you! Prepare to die!"
A massive figure suddenly attacked from the side, its imposing presence overwhelming. It wielded a weapon even larger than the Broken Severing Sword: Decapitation hurled at Jūzō.
Bang!
Jūzō his sword in front of him to protect his body, but he was still sent flying by the force, breaking two of his ribs on the spot.
After landing, he quickly got up and said angrily, " Fuguki, you despicable bastard, you still like to ambush people as always!"
"Do we need rules to deal with traitors? After enjoying yourself for a while, you haven't forgotten where you are here, have you?"
"Suikazan Fuguki" mocked.
At this moment, Zabuza Elder Harumi surrounded him. Jūzō looked around, realized the mission had failed, and prepared to run away.
"Hmph, don't even think about running away."
The three of them launched a simultaneous attack on Jūzō.
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique
Jūzō Hand Seals and spat out a huge water ball that rushed towards the three of them. He then took the opportunity to jump onto the roof and break out of the village.
" Zabuza, you stay here to protect the elder. I'll go after them."
The Fuguki called out, then used his Body Flicker Technique to follow in the direction Jūzō had fled. He enjoyed the feeling of chasing down enemies.
Inside another mansion, the battle between Sasori and the head of the Hozuki Clan was at a stalemate.
Puff puff puff...
Countless Senbon pierced the target, yet the target's body could freely transform into a liquid state.
"Judging by the time, the poison should have taken effect by now..."
The scorpion had coated each of its Senbon with venom. The opponent's liquid water absorbed all the toxins from those Senbon at once, so it should have been poisoned.
" Water Gun Technique - Sweeping Fire"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The water droplets rained down like bullets, instantly killing more than a dozen puppets in the blink of an eye.
Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique
Thick fog instantly enveloped the entire courtyard, making Scorpion hesitant to make any rash moves. He simply kept waving his steel tail to prevent enemies from getting close and attacking.
"Hmm? This is silk thread..."
In an instant, the scorpion's tail was tightly bound by dozens of transparent threads, rendering it unable to move. These threads covered the entire yard, like a spider web trapping the scorpion.
A boy slowly emerged from the pool beside them, holding a huge needle-like weapon in his hand.
You can't escape.
"How dare you underestimate my art! Let me show you what I'm made of..."
Sasori took out the puppet of the Third Kazekage, activated Magnet Release, and instantly broke through all the binding threads. The boy thought Sasori was about to fight them.
But then they saw him leap out of the yard and run away without hesitation.
"What the heck..."
That's how seasoned veterans are: they talk tough and make threats, but they're quick on their feet.
The Kirigakure has now fully awakened and begun searching for assassins; if they don't run now, they won't be able to escape.
Kakuzu's casually chosen opponent turned out to be unexpectedly strong; the opponent was skilled in using Lava Release, which could melt and corrode his Earth Grudge Fear black lines.
The fight lasted only a short while, but it alerted the other members of the family.
What's even more terrifying is that these people used a Water Release on him, which greatly weakened the power of his Ninjutsu, causing him to lose three masks in succession.
The assassination attempt was severely hampered by a lack of intelligence, necessitating an emergency retreat.
Scorpion and Kakuzu huddled together on their escape route, covering each other as they fled out of the village.
By this time, Juzo Biwa had run ahead, had already taken a shortcut out of the village.
Suikazan Fuguki and his Hunter-nin Unit relentlessly chased them all the way into a dense forest.
" Needle Head Senbon "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Fuguki's orange hair, fueled by Chakra, split into countless short hairs the size of Senbon of needles, which rained down on Jūzō like a Hayate.
" Water Release · Water Formation Wall "
Juzo Biwa was very familiar with his old teammate's moves and was prepared. He finally spat out a stream of water to block in front of him.
" Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon "
Several strands of long orange hair took the opportunity to circle around Jūzō from behind and wrap around his body.
Jūzō wanted to swing his Kubikiribōchō to slash, but he discovered that, without him noticing, the blade was now covered in the hair of the Fuguki.
puff...
At this critical moment, a crescent-shaped Vacuum Blade flashed by, severing all the hair that was wrapped around Jūzō and the Kubikiribōchō.
"Hmm?... Who is it...?"
Suikazan Fuguki looked up and saw a blue-haired youth holding a knife standing in the tree.
"The same clothes? Looks like they're Jūzō's accomplices!"
Juzo Biwa also saw Aoki Tsuki and said, "Thank you. This guy is called Fuguki. He was my former teammate. He's not easy to deal with."
"I can tell."
Aoki Tsuki nodded. Just the oppressive feeling brought by the opponent's height of 2.5 meters, and the destructive power of wielding that huge weapon Samehada.
A veritable human meat grinder!
" Jūzō, no matter what organization you've joined, you're not leaving here alive today! Attack!"
With a wave of his hand, the Hunter-nin Unit behind him immediately launched an attack; their duty was to hunt down Kirigakure ninjas from Fuguki.
"Brother, I'll handle this guy, you take care of the others."
"Okay, watch out for that knife..."
Jūzō gave a reminder and then engaged in battle with the Hunter-nin Unit. If he hadn't been ambushed by the Fuguki during the earlier battle, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Lightning Release: Imperial Lightning Snake
The azure lightning serpent lunged at him in an instant. The Fuguki had no time to escape and instinctively used the Samehada on his back as a human shield in front of him.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
Samehada let out a howl, paralyzed by electricity.
At this moment, it deeply hated its master, and decided to settle this score later.
Before it could catch its breath, thunder roared in its ears again.
thunderbolt...
" Rainstorm Breathing - Lightning Burial "
With the blessing of Futsunomitama, the lightning power on the sword was amplified several times, and it slashed down with a violent aura of destruction.
The terrifying power caused Samehada to bristle with spikes, and it did something the Fuguki Fuguki hadn't expected: it bent over and used the force to propel itself away.
Fortunately, the Fuguki was also thrown off balance by this force.
boom...
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, landing between the Fuguki and Samehada.
Looking at the deep, charred mark at his feet, the Fuguki felt a chill of fear; his opponent was stronger than he had expected.
"This knife must be possessed!"
Aoki Tsuki was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. A sword with intelligence could be just as helpful to its master as a divine weapon.
" Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave "
Splash...
The Fuguki's counterattack finally arrived. Holding his breath, he unleashed a massive Water Release, creating a water prison with a radius exceeding one hundred meters.
This included everyone, including Jūzō and the Kirigakure Hunter-nin Unit.
Seeing that Aoki Tsuki was using Lightning Release, the Fuguki assumed he was not skilled in Water Release and tried to trap him with this technique.
Do not try to move to escape, as the water prison will move with it.
Jūzō and the Kirigakure ninja fled in one direction, but the Water Prison did not follow. The main target of the Fuguki was Aoki Tsuki.
Thud...
A giant pufferfish was summoned by the Fuguki. Its body was covered with sharp thorns, and with each breath, its size rapidly expanded into a sphere, charging at Aoki Tsuki at high speed.
"Hmph, that trick won't work on me."
Aoki Tsuki bit her finger, " Summoning Technique: Ibuse."
The Ibuse's massive body appeared in the water, and it gently swam towards the pufferfish, swaying its tail.
puff...
Purple poisonous gas sprayed directly into the pufferfish's face.
Glug... Glug...
The lively pufferfish immediately rolled over belly up; it had met an even more venomous opponent than before.
They received their boxed lunches on the spot.
"What is this thing...?!"
Suikazan Fuguki was about to launch an attack, felt his heart pounding. The darkness obscured his vision, but he could still vaguely sense a giant maw of abyss swimming towards him.
Having been through many battles, he dispelled the spell without hesitation.
Splash...
The massive water prison, now deprived of its Chakra- suppressed state, instantly disintegrated into streams of water that surged in all directions. Taking advantage of this, the Fuguki merged into the water and vanished.
Seeing that things were going badly, the guy ran away!
Aoki Tsuki dispelled the Summoning Technique to prevent others from seeing it.
