Chapter 418 Retreat
The saury was the heaviest of the seven ninja swords in the Hidden Mist. Terumi Mei had some difficulty using it. She shouted loudly, injected more chakra into the ninja sword, and then slashed it down fiercely!
The saury emitted a faint blue light, and then a ball of chakra more than a person tall blasted straight towards Ino.
With a loud "boom", the ground cracked and thick smoke billowed. Mei Terumi squinted her eyes, trying to see what was behind the smoke. Suddenly, a gust of wind passed in front of her. Thinking it was the same pervert as before, she swung her knife and chopped.
The strike by the flatfish missed, and the two kunai collided with each other in the air, one on the left and one on the right, and flew to both sides.
Left or right? Mei Terumi found that she could not make an effective judgment and could only deal with it in the way she was most accustomed to, betting that the enemy would appear on the right.
She chopped fiercely on the right side, and saw a golden light appear on the left side out of the corner of her eye. She quickly twisted her waist, forced a turn, and chopped on the left side, but missed again. Another kunai flew out from the smoke and dust, changing the flight trajectory of the special kunai. Ino suddenly appeared behind her and stamped the Flying Thunder God technique mark on her shoulder blade on her back.
Mei Terumi formed a seal with one hand, and the surging water stream formed by the water array wall bounced Ino away.
The next second, Ino pulled out the chakra short sword Shusui, the sound was crisp, but the murderous intent in her words made people shudder: "Kirigakure ninjas, go back and choose a new Mizukage!"
"Flying Thunder God Slash!" Ino used the ritual mark left behind to launch the special skill that the Second Hokage used to severely injure Uchiha Izuna!
Even though she didn't open the Three Magatama Sharingan, she still increased her speed to the limit. She ignored the defense of the water array wall and instantly appeared on the inside of the rotating water flow, behind Mei Terumi. The short knife stabbed her back in 0.1 seconds.
"Huh?"
"Nakayoshi!?"
Ino was stunned. She stabbed out with the short knife, but found that the feel was wrong and there was no water flow around as expected. When she saw the perceptive ninja Nakayoshi who was stabbed to death by her, three question marks appeared in her mind.
How did she end up stabbing this fat guy? After thinking about it, she understood the reason.
This fat guy actually suppressed and interfered with her perception at the last moment.
The Flying Thunder God Technique requires one to sense the mark of one's own technique, which is why Ino trained Naruto's perception ability. Sensing the mark is the first step in the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Ino had never thought that she would make mistakes in her perception.
You have to know that her perception ability is very strong. She has a family secret technique in this area. She has talent and can add some points. She also has the guidance of the Second Hokage.
Karin, who uses Kagura's heart's eye, is on par with her in terms of perception ability.
Now such a fat guy actually suppressed her perception ability, causing her to misjudge when sensing the mark of the Flying Thunder God technique. It has to be said that this Kirigakure Jonin has his extraordinary qualities.
"There will be no fat guy to save you in the next move." Ino looked at Mei Terumi in the distance. There was a hint of horror in the expression of the Fifth Mizukage. She had never felt so close to death. If Nakayoshi had not interfered with Ino at the critical moment, she would be the one lying in a pool of blood now.
"Protect the Mizukage!"
"If you want to touch Lord Mizukage, you must get past me!"
Mei Terumi's prestige is indeed not as good as that of the master, but this time she took on all the bad reputation for the sake of the whole village, and at this moment, she still gained the trust of the Kirigakure ninja.
Several of the Kirigakure jonin do not understand the secret of Flying Thunder God, but they have basic logical thinking ability.
Zabuza put away his beheading sword, took a short sword from the Kirigakure ninja nearby, and protected Mei Terumi behind him.
Even Ino couldn't defeat Zabuza within a few moves.
Mei Terumi was extremely annoyed. Kuroko Raiga was an old minister of the previous dynasty, so it was fine if he died. But Nakayoshi was her confidant. The death of such a powerful perceptive ninja was a heavy loss for the Hidden Mist Village, which was short of talent.
Unfortunately, she was too anxious to remove the mark of Flying Thunder God's technique.
"The fact that Nakayoshi was able to interfere with her shows that her Flying Thunder God relies on perception ability. Since it is a perception ability, it will definitely not be effective beyond a certain range. Lord Mizukage, let's retreat first." Ao, who has always been the Mizukage's staff, said in a low voice.
Bingzu LeidÅ, Aburame Kita and others had already bandaged their injuries. They quickly formed a team, drew their kunai, and glared at the Kirigakure ninjas.
In the distance, Shikamaru and Choji were about to arrive at the rear camp with more than 500 ninjas. The betrayal of Kirigakure was a complete failure for them, and they lost all their fame and fortune, but for Kumogakure it was an extremely important victory, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a turning point in the war.
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and said, "Retreat!"
Worried that they might make a feint to the east and attack in the west, Ino's first priority was to protect the wounded, so she did not pursue them.
In order to vent her anger, she stabbed the fat man Zhongji's body twice.
Shikamaru and Choji brought reinforcements, and Tsunade also sent Shizune back from the front line to treat the wounded. Ino wanted to help, but Shizune refused. She said, "Leave the patient to me, you just keep an eye on Mei Terumi."
The betrayal was also a sudden event for Gonbei, and upon receiving the message from his own sensory ninja, he immediately led his subordinates to rebel. Their defection in the battle stunned the Konoha ninja. Fortunately, Jiraiya arrived at the battlefield in time, stabilized the situation with the title of Hokage, and personally covered the rear, resisting the siege of the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee, Yukito and others alone.
Tsunade became more and more angry when she was about to retreat, and she captured Gonbei alone while surrounded by many Mist Ninjas.
Jiraiya signaled her to retreat first, and he faced the tens of thousands of troops of Kumogakure alone. He used the Red Gourd, a Six Paths Noble Phantasm, for the first time in battle.
The red gourd now not only has the same function as before of absorbing spiritual words, but also has the ability to store supplies and seal some chakra.
The time inside the red gourd was almost still, and Jiraiya and Naruto from the original time and space had the same idea.
His Sage Mode has a major flaw: it takes a long time to gather natural energy, but its duration is short.
The red gourd effectively makes up for some of the shortcomings. It can gather natural energy in advance, store it, and call upon it directly in battle.
The problem of short duration cannot be solved, but you can still use the Sage Mode to shoot a few times within the effective time.
All kinds of fairy techniques and fire escape techniques were used, and even the Fourth Raikage did not dare to charge head-on. He only retreated slowly after the army had completely retreated.
The Kirigakure's betrayal dealt a heavy blow to Konoha's morale, and more importantly, their retreat was threatened, so they had to evacuate the Frost Country.
A day later, the army withdrew from the narrow Frost Kingdom and returned to the Soup Kingdom.
In the name of Mizukage, Mei Terumi officially announced that she had joined the Hidden Cloud Clan.
Konoha was very angry, and someone said that they wanted to kill all the captured Kirigakure ninjas.
Neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade agreed.
The Hidden Cloud Village sent an envoy at the appropriate time to propose an exchange of prisoners of war.
