Chapter 211 An Unexpected Slap in the Face
Just a short while ago, Black Zetsu, hiding in the shadows, was smugly thinking that he was about to turn the tide!
Over the past few days, the plan by the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon to harm the elite members of his village has been progressing smoothly.
The results are encouraging.
But just at the most crucial moment, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head!
At this moment, Afei, who was mixed in with the Hidden Mist team, received a horrified message from Black Zetsu.
"Hurry, that snake-eyed ninja from Konoha is suspicious! He's colluding with rogue ninja from Kirigakure!"
Hiding in the shadows, Black Zetsu finally managed to steal a useful piece of information using his technique.
Unfortunately, Ah Fei looked bitter when he received the message; it came way too late!
They've been caught!
They originally thought that only villains like the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon would betray the village and cooperate with traitors like them.
But unexpectedly, Juzo Biwa, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, also betrayed Kirigakure and colluded with Konoha!
At this point, Black Zetsu and the others did not know that the Konoha ninja with snake eyes was Shiba Kiyokawa, so they did not connect it to Akatsuki at all.
On the contrary, they still believe that Akatsuki was just an outside help that Juzo Biwa invited to deal with Konoha.
After all, these past few days, Pain, whom Juzo Biwa had invited, had been diligently assisting Kirigakure in their battles.
Aside from often holding back when facing the Uchiha clan, Pain's performance on the battlefield was otherwise quite flawless.
It was this illusion that lulled Black Zetsu, Tobi, and Suigetsu Hozuki into a false sense of security, making them believe that Juzo Biwa was an upright ninja who was wholeheartedly devoted to the village.
Unexpectedly, Kirigakure's actual "betrayal" of Kirigakure occurred even earlier than Suigetsu Hobuki's!
This perfectly illustrates the saying: "Evil people need other evil people to teach them a lesson."
Mei Terumi, kind, righteous, and single-mindedly focused on saving the village, is no match for Suigetsu Hobutsuki and his gang.
But Shiba Kiyokawa, who is despicable, cunning, and secretly manipulates things even better than Black Zetsu, has now easily cornered them on the edge of a life-or-death precipice!
When Afei shared the information with Xiguashan Hetonggui, the latter angrily cursed.
"Damn it! That damned bastard, Juzo Biwa! He actually betrayed the village! Rogue ninjas are never to be trusted!"
This left his subordinates feeling both desperate and helpless, wondering, "Boss, what gives you the right to criticize others?"
In dire straits, even the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon could only abandon any hope of survival.
"Damn those Konoha bastards! Hold on! The commander will come to save us!"
Suigetsu-san, the pufferfish demon, took out Samehada and said wolfishly.
Ironically, just seconds before they were planning to make their frontline commander take the blame for the war's setbacks.
Now, they can only hope that the commander will send someone to rescue them.
The battle is imminent!
Despite Konoha having an overwhelming numerical advantage, Suigetsu Hozuki still held onto a sliver of hope.
"I've never heard of this Konoha ninja with snake eyes before. The war has been going on for three years. What kind of powerful person could he be who hasn't made a name for himself yet?" Suigetsu Hobuki thought to himself.
As for the information that the other party had recently subdued the Three-Tails, Suigetsu Hobuki preferred to believe that it was the work of Shisui, the "Body Flicker" of the Uchiha clan.
"Kisame, Zabuza, assist me!"
While launching the attack, Suigetsu Hozuki didn't forget to call upon his two trusted confidants.
Although Kisame Hoshigaki strongly disagreed with Suigetsu Hozuki's recent actions, his habitual loyalty still led him to cooperate fully at this moment.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall!"
The classic technique of taking a whole lake in one gulp!
The astonishing volume of water immediately forced most of the Konoha ninja to choose to dodge.
"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"
At the same time, led by Zabuza Momochi, several Kirigakure ninjas joined forces to unleash Kirigakure's signature Summoning Mist Technique.
Suigetsu Hozuki hid in the suddenly rising thick fog, managing to move his 300-plus pounds of weight silently without causing a ripple, quickly and stealthily approaching Shiba Kiyokawa!
"If we take down this troublemaker, we can deal with the Uchiha clan later. We'll still have a chance!" Suigetsu Hozuki thought fiercely to himself.
The Greatsword Samehada sweeps out in a circular motion!
"Bang!"
However, the first strike only shattered a cloud of white smoke.
It's a shadow clone!
At this moment, Suigetsu Hobutsuki remained calm, feeling that this level of difficulty was still within his normal range of handling.
Especially after the shadow clone exploded, the small snake that rushed towards him was thin and weak, and he easily grabbed it with his free hand and crushed it with a little force.
"Is that all?"
Orochimaru's subordinate, with vertical pupils, could only handle snakes to this extent. Suigetsu Hobuki became even more certain of his earlier guess.
Little did he know that Shiba Kiyokawa simply wanted to make his identity as "Orochimaru's subordinate" seem a little more believable, so he just randomly picked a rat snake to carry with him.
This crushed cauliflower snake was all he had mastered in his snake-style ninjutsu.
The next moment, the faint sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air could be heard from the mist, clear and crisp like the whisper of the wind!
Suigetsu Hozuki turned around and raised Samehada to block.
As a result, the opponent's katana touched him and then moved away, nimbly avoiding the thick Samehada, and in the blink of an eye, left a bloody mark on his fat waist.
Suigetsu Hozuki snatched Samehada with one hand and immediately smashed it over!
At the same time, he briefly abandoned his sword and formed hand seals.
"Ninjutsu: Thousand Needles!"
The long hair behind him spread out, then hardened and shot out like a torrential rain!
This barrage of shots covered a large area behind, while Samehada's ferocious downward slam struck the area in front of it.
At this moment, Suigetsu Hozuki was confident that his opponent would have no chance of dodging his attack!
It encompasses all angles!
Surprisingly, after the combo, everything in the fog became eerily quiet.
There were no screams, no cries of pain, and no sound of flesh and bones being crushed by shark skin.
"Missed it? How is that possible?"
The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was incredulous.
Before he could even ponder the origin of this result, the wind howled again from directly in front of him, this time even more violently than before.
Shiba Kiyokawa unleashed his self-created Wind Release technique, which he hadn't used in a long time.
Wind Release: Wind Breath Triple Flash!
With a single slash, a fierce wind howled!
Suigetsu Hozuki didn't even have time to react. He hadn't even had time to pick up Samehada, which had fallen to the ground, before he was blown into the sky by the strong wind!
No matter how heavy it was, it was still not heavy enough in the face of the raging wind-style chakra and was easily blown into the air.
Sharp wind blades sliced through the fat of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, causing him to let out a loud scream.
Fortunately, his loyal subordinate intervened and stopped Shiba Kiyokawa's pursuit, narrowly saving him.
"Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"
A shark made of water fiercely leaped out of the mist and pounced straight at Shiba Kiyokawa!
At the same time, young Zabuza Momochi approached using the mist, reaching out with one hand towards Shiba Kiyokawa's back: "Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
Just a breath ago, Suigetsu Hozuki looked down on this unknown snake-eyed ninja.
In the blink of an eye, they even needed to send two people to help them save the life of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.
The slap in the face came so suddenly and unexpectedly!
