Miru was tense and on guard in the crowd, didn't expect that she would be mentioned suddenly.
She responded instinctively, only then realizing that the other person was still an enemy.
Mukai noticed the female ninja and immediately pulled her towards him using gravity:
"You've been captured. If you don't want to die, don't do anything stupid, or else..."
The electromagnetic cannon of the War God Mecha in its semi-mech form hummed as it unleashed a barrage of metal projectiles around the group of Kirigakure, sending dust flying everywhere.
Within the range of the projectiles, the whistling sound of bullets tore through the air, ripping apart sturdy tree trunks and shattering rocks.
The bullets stopped, creating a large clearing in the forest, where only various fragments remained.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending a few more people to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Miru was completely stunned by Mukai's actions and obediently sat in the cockpit of the War God Mecha, while Kisame Hoshigaki also put away his Samehada and sat in the front row of the cockpit.
What was originally just a decorative aircraft cockpit has now become a decent transport vehicle.
Mukai repulsive force to adhere to the War God Mecha and issued the command:
" Komushi, transform into fighter jet mode, maintain cruising speed, let's go say hello to the Isobu."
" Komushi understands, fighter jet mode activated!"
As Mukai and his fighter jet roared past, all that remained was an empty field ravaged by bullets and bewildered, helpless Kirigakure ninjas.
Who are they? Where is this? What just happened?
Is this still the world of ninjas?
How can they fight an opponent like that? Throw Kunai at that giant steel construct?
Land of Fire Border Battlefield
"Hurry! Speed things up! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have been breaching the defenses for a whole day now, and countless support Genin fallen victim to their attacks!"
Damn it! How could such a mistake happen!
Shisui Uchiha gave the order anxiously.
He is leading a rapid support force of eleven Chunin Uchiha and Jonin to provide assistance.
Upon arriving at the battlefield, the sight that greeted them caused even these Uchiha elites, who were accustomed to battle and bloodshed, to involuntarily stop in their tracks and gasp in shock.
The battlefield, or rather, the place that was once a battlefield, has been completely transformed.
"Kai, what happened here? Are you all alright? Where are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
Looking at the battlefield that looked like it had been ravaged, Shisui Uchiha asked Guy, who was bandaging his comrades, a question.
Centered on this clearing in the woods, an area with a radius of over 100 meters appears as if it has been repeatedly plowed by a giant's plow.
The towering ancient trees were either cut in half or uprooted, lying scattered and crooked.
The fracture sites exhibit various charred, molten, or strangely smooth cuts.
The ground was covered with deep pits, ravines, and large areas of vitrified crystallization, as if it had been instantly scorched by high temperatures.
The air here is filled with a pungent smell of ozone, a burnt smell, and an overwhelming stench of blood.
It's a miracle that Guy and his Genin survived such a brutal battlefield.
At this moment, several surviving Genin from Konoha gathered together, Ebisu was giving emergency treatment to his seriously injured and unconscious comrade with trembling hands.
Might Guy, kneeling on the ground, covered in blood and his green bodysuit tattered, snapped out of his daze upon hearing Shisui Uchiha's question:
"It's Body Flicker Shisui! We lost a few comrades, but at least we're saved."
" The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are all dead. Those fragments on the ground are... oh, and it seems there was also a fleeing leader who was caught and killed by Mukai- kun in the distance."
" The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are all dead? The Mukai you're talking about, is it the Mukai ranked first in the Chunin Ninja Exams Sunagakure?"
Might Guy nodded; his muscles were torn, and even speaking was painful.
Having received definitive information, Shisui Uchiha began to examine the battlefield with disbelief.
"This is..."
The Tomoe Jonin the pupils of a Uchiha unconsciously shifted, his voice hoarse.
"They are indeed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
The Uchiha was responsible for defending this section of the defensive line and had clashed with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist times.
Individually, these guys are only at the level of elite Jonin.
However, with their strangely powerful Ninja Blade and their coordinated attacks, they became formidable enemies.
Now, these enemies, once known for their brutal killings, are reduced to pieces scattered everywhere, some so mangled they are unrecognizable.
"Kai, how many ninjas did Mukai- jun bring to support us? The battlefield is so fierce, what are Mukai- jun's casualties?"
"There's only Mukai, no, there's also the Iron Giant..."
Ebisu scrambled over, his glasses long since flown off somewhere.
His face was covered in blood and mud, and he gestured incoherently:
"Flying down from the sky! With a thud!"
Then... then all those monsters attacked it, but it was no use! It bounced off! Everything bounced off!
Thunder, explosion, a giant sword... and then... then it moved, too fast to see!
That guy who could generate electricity—his knife broke, and he was sent flying... And that guy who played with needles too.
Mukai Xiangjun counted to ten, signaling their surrender.
And those carrying big swords... they were all killed!
Ebisu's voice was trembling with sobs and lingering fear, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
The horrific scene at the time was enough to conjure a chilling image in Shisui Uchiha's mind.
" Mukai- kun is even stronger than he was during the Chunin Ninja Exams!"
"Look at these incisions."
"It's not cutting with a blade, it's more like... an extreme high temperature that melts and then solidifies instantly."
And what about the Lightning Blades? Was it countered by even stronger lightning, or by some other energy source?
Is all of this something a ninja could do?
What kind of Ninjutsu is this?
When asked by his clansmen, Shisui Uchiha didn't know how to answer.
The special puppets that Sunagakure displayed during the Chunin Ninja Exams were already astonishing.
It seems that Sunagakure, which was once looked down upon by other major powers, has created an even more powerful puppet!
Fortunately, they are allies of Konoha.
"Clean up the battlefield, prioritize treating the wounded, and carefully collect all unusual residues, especially traces of non- Chakra energy."
Shisui Uchiha swiftly issued the order, his voice regaining its usual calm and decisiveness:
"Kai, Ebisu, and everyone else, everything that happened here today is classified as top secret."
We need to report this in detail to the Lord Hokage immediately.
Just then, Kai, who had stood up, suddenly asked:
" Shisui, weren't these elite Mist Ninja fighting on the front lines? How did they suddenly appear here in the rear?"
Has something happened at the front?
Upon hearing Guy's question, Shisui Uchiha took a deep breath and said:
"A tragedy has indeed occurred. Several of my clansmen have been attacked, and their eyes have been cruelly gouged out!"
Without exception, all of these clansmen were elite Uchiha who had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
There is evidence suggesting that it wasn't Kirigakure who did it!
