This Chunin Kumogakure was somewhat arrogant and looked down on everyone.
Underestimating Qi will only lead to paying with one's own life. Even if Qi were stronger than the blue-haired youth, the battle wouldn't have ended so quickly. But arrogance is often the most important factor in any battle.
Not to mention that after his previous battle with Kisame Hoshigaki, Kei had gained a deeper understanding and mastery of the ice power he possessed.
While Qi is still lacking in breadth and depth, he is already faster. In a close-quarters collision with the blue-haired Cloud Ninja who was completely unprepared for Qi's Ice Release threat, Qi temporarily suppressed the enemy and prevented them from escaping easily. In just two or three seconds, Qi could make sure the enemy could never escape.
This was also thanks to the experience gained from the last encounter with Kisame Hoshigaki. Instead of starting from above, we should attack from below to gain that extra second of time to restrict the opponent first, and then use a two-pronged approach to freeze the opponent with lightning speed!
Qi's eyes gleamed with a hint of secret delight as he saw the blue-haired youth's terrified face reflected in the ice sculpture.
This is my first mission, my first battle against an external force!
This is also my most memorable first victory!
'I still want to thank you for being my first stepping stone, you unknown Cloud Ninja Lord. Rest in peace!'
A chilling look appeared between Qi's brows, and then he suddenly squeezed hard.
"Burst!"
As soon as the words were uttered, the magnificent ice sculpture before them shattered instantly, along with the body of the blue-haired youth inside.
They turned into specks of light and disappeared into the world.
Immediately afterwards.
Qi also leaped forward, flying swiftly towards the location where Mei Terumi was fighting, intending to support Mei Terumi and quickly resolve the battle so he could investigate the current situation.
However, while Kai acted swiftly, Mei Terumi was equally swift.
While it was indeed a one-against-two situation, and her opponents were also from Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Nations, they were ultimately just two ordinary Genin. The so-called difference in experience and skill only had any effect or meaning when both sides were equal in strength, or when the difference was not particularly significant. Mei Terumi's strength was clearly far superior to these two Kumogakure Genin.
Mei Terumi had already slammed the second Cloud Ninja into the ground with a heavy punch, followed by an elbow strike to the abdomen. The double blow left the Cloud Ninja completely unable to retaliate. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed limply to the ground, his breath becoming extremely weak.
As for the other Cloud Ninja, he had already been completely corroded away by Mei Terumi's Boil Release, leaving not even a trace. The reason why Mei Terumi Cloud Ninja not finish him off was that after seeing that the situation was completely under her control, she wanted to spare Cloud Ninja life and see if she could extract some useful information from him.
besides.
The garrison commander was also curled up on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
Upon witnessing this scene.
Qi frowned, then slowly relaxed. Although he had some guesses, he still looked at Mei Terumi and asked, " Mei Terumi, what's this?"
"Heh, just as you predicted, Qi. This guy really is suspicious. He was trying to ambush me from behind while I was making my move!"
Mei Terumi gently brushed a strand of her hair aside, glanced at the still wailing Wan, a faint glint of cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said in a very disdainful tone.
"Is that so? Then the basic outline of this incident is clear. The question is who is behind it all, and how deeply the Cloud Ninja are involved. If the Cloud Ninja attack us, then Ao-sensei and Kisame will definitely be affected as well. I think we should gather as much information as possible as possible and then go to support Ao-sensei and the others!"
Qi nodded knowingly, then spoke with a solemn expression.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Mei Terumi nodded slightly and responded.
Then, the two of them worked together very well, one carrying the Cloud Ninja and the other carrying Wan, and took them to the two sides for interrogation. Neither of them knew any torture-type Genjutsu, so they could only use traditional methods to interrogate the two of them.
To obtain as much important intelligence as possible.
For example, who is behind this? And how many Cloud Ninja are attacking this time? These are crucial pieces of information that will determine the success or failure of Team 7's mission, and even more importantly, their personal safety.
The interrogation process is largely the same, but the results are vastly different.
One said nothing.
Someone who talks about everything.
The one who Genin was the Kumogakure. Qi had tried everything, but the Cloud Ninja just stared at him with an extremely cold gaze the whole time, not saying a single word, leaving Qi utterly helpless.
Fortunately Mei Terumi's side made great progress. That police captain was clearly not a man of backbone; he was an extreme coward. With just a threat and a little torture from Mei Terumi, he confessed everything.
The information revealed was so shocking that it completely stunned Kei and Mei Terumi.
The prince who once fled from the Land of Whales is returning to restore his kingdom, and he has even reached an agreement with the Cloud Ninja.
Those killed earlier were either people who betrayed the Land of Whales Kingdom when it was destroyed, or their descendants, or people who were coerced into cooperating but refused.
There was also a small group of people who were not initially the target of Prince Matou, but were merely driven by selfish desires.
It can be said that this garrison commander told everything he knew.
The only information they didn't know was the arrival of the Cloud Ninja, which was to be expected, since the Cloud Ninja had only arrived at Kujiraai Island with Matou in the early hours of this morning, how could Wan possibly know about it!
"So he's the former Land of Whales? No wonder things turned out this way."
Qi rubbed his forehead, looking a little troubled.
For a fleeting moment, Kei had the thought that he was the evil villain, and that he was the evil villain who had to stop the protagonist from reclaiming his home!
However, this absurd thought was quickly dismissed by Qi himself; a ninja's only concern is the mission!
Moreover, this place is now the territory of the Land of Water.
As ninjas of Kirigakure, they are obligated to fulfill their official duties once they have accepted a mission!
Of course, the final payment will need to be recalculated!
