However, the four members of Kirigakure underestimated Setsugetsu's strength. Such tactics might be effective against ordinary Kage Level shinobi, but against the abnormal Setsugetsu, they were still insufficient.
Faced with the coordinated attack, Setsugetsu clasped her arms together, her face beneath the mask remaining unchanged. She parted her silver teeth slightly and uttered a few words indifferently. " Ice Release: Extreme Cold Hell!"
As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely cold chill erupted from Setsugetsu's body, freezing the viscous acid and the water surrounding her in an instant.
The thick white fog in the air turned into tiny hailstones due to the extremely low temperature, which fell to the ground with a crisp "clinking" sound.
Even the clouds high in the sky began to sway and fall lightly due to the influence of the Setsugetsu technique.
"Hey, hey, hey, this kind of technique, you can't be kidding, right? Is it really possible for us to pick off someone as strong as this?" A ninja watching the scene muttered to himself after being shocked by Setsugetsu's technique.
The ninjas around who heard this nodded in agreement, looking completely bewildered.
This power to change the world is something that all who have witnessed it are horrified.
Some people who are self-aware have already secretly slipped away.
They knew that such a powerful opponent was beyond their wildest imaginations; they couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of a fight, so leaving as soon as possible was the only way to save their lives.
The Konoha Kōki, including Yuki, were somewhat aware of Setsugetsu's strength and knew to some extent the power of his Setsugetsu Ice Release. However, the ninjas from other major countries were all shocked when they witnessed the power of Setsugetsu Ice Release.
This move was incredibly difficult for them to handle; it was even more powerful than any Kage Level they had ever witnessed.
The four members of Kirigakure, who were fighting against Setsugetsu, were particularly troubled.
Because they are from Kirigakure, their specialty is Water Release, which is naturally countered by Water Release Ice Release, which can freeze everything.
Therefore, realizing this, they knew they needed to get more help; they would be powerless against Setsugetsu on their own.
Then, Hozuki Mangetsu reached into his pocket and pulled out a round bamboo tube with a fuse at the bottom.
He pulled the fuse, and with a sharp, long "chirp," the bamboo tube shot straight into the sky, followed by a loud "snap," and a special symbol lit up in the air.
The next second, a series of "whoosh" sounds echoed from the dense forest surrounding the clearing, followed by several ninjas dressed as members of the Kirigakure Anbu appearing behind Hozuki Mangetsu.
This is precisely the Kirigakure's backup force. Originally, this force was not intended to deal with the Light Organization, but rather to guard against attacks from other ninja villages.
After all, those who are carrying out this mission are all Hideto from Kirigakure. If they are ambushed and killed by other ninja villages, it would be a huge loss.
However, now that they are facing such powerful members of the Light Organization, they have no choice but to utilize this force.
Upon seeing their reinforcements arrive, Hozuki Mangetsu quickly instructed, "Your main task is to help us hold off the enemy. Be careful, the enemy possesses extremely powerful Ice Release; do not use Water Release attacks, it's best to use Fire Style. Also, I sense the enemy's strength..."
After giving instructions to the Anbu Ninja, Hozuki Mangetsu nodded to Mei Terumi and the others beside him, signaling them to prepare to continue the attack.
However, their strategy was different this time. Mei Terumi was originally the main attacker, now took on all the offensive tasks.
Because everyone else's signature moves were countered, and their other Release Technique weren't their main focus, their effects on Setsugetsu were limited. Only Mei Terumi's Kekkei Genkai was largely unaffected. Therefore, everyone else served Mei Terumi's offensive needs.
Meanwhile, the ninjas from other surrounding villages, seeing the Kirigakure Village launch a full-scale attack, couldn't resist joining in. The Iwagakure, in particular, immediately took the lead and surrounded the red-haired Chiryū.
Then, the Iwagakure ninja leading the group kindly advised, "Friends from the Light Organization, you should have seen the situation today. So many ninjas are here to cause you trouble. But we from Iwagakure can help you escape this dangerous situation. As long as you are willing to hand over your organization's secrets, I can guarantee to escort you safely away."
In truth, given the personality of the leader of Iwagakure, he would have taken direct action. After all, he has always looked down on small organizations in the Shinobi World. Even though the Light Organization once helped them snatch Jinchūriki back from Konoha, he still believed that the Light Organization had used trickery, because seeing is believing is a principle he has always adhered to.
But after witnessing Setsugetsu's strength firsthand today, I truly understand why the Lord Tsuchikage values the members of the Light Organization so much.
Therefore, he set aside his prejudice against the Light Organization Light Organization and negotiated with them in a more peaceful manner.
Furthermore, Iwagakure has traded with the Light Organization on numerous occasions, and they believe that compared to other ninja villages, they have a good relationship with the organization. Therefore, they believe that avoiding conflict and resolving the issue peacefully is the best option.
The leader of Iwagakure, who thought he had a good intention, was completely Chiryū by Jiryu, who was looking around as if he was observing something.
This arrogant attitude immediately darkened the face of the Iwagakure leader. He suppressed his anger and said in a stiff, slightly threatening tone, "If you don't agree to my plan, I might have to join the other side. Our meager relationship isn't worth offending other ninja villages."
Unfortunately, whether the Iwagakure leader offered advice or threats, it all came to nothing. This scene was deliberately orchestrated by Aizen and his group; after all, one can't guard against a thief forever. They wanted to use this action by the ninja villages to demonstrate the power of the Light Organization. They wanted the Shinobi World to know that the Light Organization was not something they could covet. Now, the opportunity Aizen and his group had been waiting for had arrived.
Then, looking around and Chiryū to have confirmed something, muttering to himself, "That's about it. There shouldn't be anything else."
This attitude finally caused the Iwagakure leader's suppressed anger to erupt. His face contorted with rage, he roared at the arrogant Chiryū, "Our Iwagakure kindly sought your cooperation to resolve your predicament, yet you trample on our goodwill and humiliate us like this. It seems your Light Organization is truly arrogant. In that case, let you experience the fury of Iwagakure!"
With that, the leader of the Iwagakure team waved his hand, and his men instantly launched an attack on the Chiryū.
