Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 327 Blasting Knife
Within the borders of Tang country.

Thanks to the rapid advance of the Thunder and Earth Alliance a year ago, the Hidden Cloud Village pushed the front line all the way into the territory of the Land of Fire.

The Kingdom of Soup, which had always been the battlefield between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire, finally got a moment of respite.

Although in recent times, the death of the third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village has temporarily frustrated the front-line troops of the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, the death of the Third Raikage at that time did protect most of the Hidden Cloud Village soldiers and gave the Hidden Cloud Village the confidence to continue fighting.

At the same time, it was the leader’s sacrifice that aroused the fighting spirit of the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

As a result, the Kumogakure is now firmly rooted in the territory of the Land of Fire, and is fighting to the death with the Iwagakure and Konoha without any retreat.

Over the past year, although the Kingdom of Hot Springs, which is located behind the Kumogakure battlefield, has been exploited by the Kumogakure and Lightning Kingdoms in various names, at least they don't have to worry about being killed by a ninjutsu that inexplicably falls from the sky one day.

Of course, it is also because of the continued exploitation and bullying of the Kumogakure forces within the territory of the Land of Hot Springs.

The evil cult forces that have been fighting in the name of resistance have never truly disappeared.

After all, there are always some civilians who can't stand the oppression and want to rebel.

The Evil God Cult is the only organization that can help them take revenge on these high-ranking ninjas.

Behind a bush beside a mountain road.

Three "refugees" who had just walked out of the town removed their transformation techniques, emitted a burst of white smoke, and transformed into three ninjas dressed as Kirigakure.

Among them, the young man who was leading the group and carrying a strangely shaped sword on his back shook his head helplessly.

"It's fake news again. Let's go look for it in the next place."

Hearing his words, the boy without eyebrows among the three scratched his head in annoyance and complained.

"Rumors about the evil cult are everywhere, as if there are resistance forces everywhere in the country of Tang, but it turns out that it's all fake news!"

At this time, the last girl with brown-red hair spoke to comfort her.

"After all, it is a covert organization. If we could find it so easily, it would have been wiped out by those barbarians from the Hidden Cloud Village long ago."

After each of the three people finished speaking, they looked at each other and sighed deeply in helplessness.

These three people were the ones who were ordered to come to the Land of Hot Springs to search for the Evil God Cult: Mei Terumi, Zabuza Momochi, and Shingetsu Hozuki.

Since Jianchuan Ju, who is the reserve Mizukage, and Qing, who is already the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, are both too unsuitable to go out of the village to carry out ordinary missions.

The task of coming to the Kingdom of Tang to seize the secret techniques of the Evil God Cult naturally fell on the three people, Kizuna Xinyue, who had once had contact with the Evil God Cult.

And Hozuki Shingetsu, who was promoted to Jonin some time ago, is the captain of this team.

Zabuza secretly glanced at the 'Explosive Sword*Fei Mo' carried on the back of Kizuna Shingetsu.

Although 'Explosive Sword*Foam' was not his goal, but as one of the seven ninja swords, he still showed a hint of envy in his eyes.

Of course, Zabuza would definitely not admit it, and there was a hint of disdain in his words.

"Xinyue, you are a new ninja swordsman and the leader of this mission, can't you think of a solution?"

When Kizuna Xinyue heard this, she rolled her eyes, but after looking at the small short knife tied with steel wire behind Zabuza, she didn't bother to argue with him.

In fact, it was somewhat of luck that the 'explosive knife*flying foam' fell on his head.

Originally, after Bakuto was returned to Konoha, a new ninja sword wielder would definitely be selected from among the village's jonin.

However, the 'Bakuto*Feimu', a ninja sword that can be considered a unique weapon, cannot be mastered without long-term targeted training.

It is even possible that the knife user may accidentally kill or injure himself during practice.

To be honest, Jianchuan Ju didn't think much of this ninja sword, so he simply handed it over to the Kizuna clan under the advice of the elder Yuanshi.

The Hozuki clan, who possess the secret art of turning water into water, is more suitable for this ninja sword, whether from the perspective of practice or temporary use.

However, what was different from what Jianchuan Ju thought was that the patriarch of the Kidō clan, Kidō Yingyue, did not choose to become a ninja swordsman.

I don't know whether he also looks down on the explosive sword, or he wants to make friends with Jianchuan Ju, the future Mizukage.

The right to use 'Explosive Sword*Foam' was given to the new jonin in the clan, Kizuna Shingetsu, who had a good relationship with Jianchuan Ju.

This also led to the originally inconspicuous Hozuki Shingetsu, who had just become a Jonin, becoming one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Fortunately, he is a 17-year-old Jonin, and he has inherited various secret techniques from the Kizuna clan, so he can be considered an absolute genius.

No one else questioned the fact that Kizuki Hozuki became a ninja swordsman.

Just when these three people were still struggling over whether or not to continue searching one place after another following the clues of the rumors.

Zabuza, who had the sharpest sense, suddenly stretched out his hand to signal the two to be silent.

The two men followed Zabuza's gaze and saw that on the distant mountain road, an eight-man Kumogakure ninja team was running forward at a rapid speed and with great momentum.

The three people hiding behind the bushes held their breath and watched carefully.

Not until the eight Kumogakure ninjas disappeared from sight did the three of them look at each other, and Mei Terumi spoke first.

"Why do you think the bastards from Kumogakure are here?"

When this sentence was said, he was actually no longer thinking about it.

The three said in unison.

"Evil God Cult!" x3
The reason why Gui Deng Xin Yue and the other two were so sure was not because they were searching for the Evil God Cult and their thinking was limited.

It was because the three of them had disguised themselves as refugees persecuted by Kumogakure to gather information.

After officially learning that there was a resistance organization nearby that had recently succeeded in killing the Hidden Cloud Ninja, he came to the nearby villages and towns under the pretext of wanting to join the evil cult.

At this moment, coincidentally, a team of aggressive Kumogakure ninjas appeared here. It was very likely that the other party was following the news and came here to carry out retaliation.

"They are obviously on their way with a purpose. Regardless of whether their target is the Evil God Cult or not, we should catch up with them first!"

As the temporary captain, Kizuna Xinyue began to give orders directly.

"Zabuza, perception ninjutsu."

There was no need for him to say more, as Zabuza on the side had already closed his eyes, completed the seal, and pointed to the ground with one hand.

"Come on, follow me."

Seeing that Zabuza had locked onto his target, the two men set out to follow without saying a word.

In the dense forest, the three of them followed carefully for less than half an hour until they stopped in front of a slightly empty and hidden valley.

At this moment, there is no need for Bu Zhan to continue leading the way.

The noisy shouting and killing sounds in the distance have pointed out the direction for the three people.

Looking at the camp that looked like an ordinary bandit's lair, Gui Deng Xin Yue grinned and asked.

"Do you think Kumogakure will be kind enough to help Yunokuni deal with the bandits?"
