Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 566: Battle of Loess

Not to mention Jianchuan Ju, he has already imagined the scientific manufacturing of ninja tools from being a puppeteer, from digging sand and hiding in corners to abducting the Red Sand Scorpion.

With the exit of Sand Village puppeteer Urayasu Shun, Hoshigaki Kisame, who was supposed to appear early due to Jianchuan Tachibana's distraction, continued to remain silent when he saw that his own Mizukage did not say anything.

On the contrary, it was the Tsuchikage Ōnoki who, seeing that Konoha had just sent out an unknown guy to deal with the leader of the Sand Village, felt a little disdainful in his heart, but when he saw that Hoshigaki Kisame seemed to be interested, he took the lead in speaking up.

"Huangtu, you go!"

Seeing that Ōnoki took the initiative to speak, everyone, including Jianchuan Tachibana, looked at him.

'Why did this old fox let his son go on stage so early?'

Originally, Jianchuan Ju thought that in this kind of defending challenge which was similar to a round-robin tournament, the old fox Ohnoki would definitely let his own candidate take the final step to steal the chicken.

Unexpectedly, he not only sent people out early, but also sent Huang Tu, who was obviously the main force.

As a result, now that Ōnoki spoke first, Tachibana Kanegawa could not interfere and let Hoshigaki Kisame go up and defeat four enemies at once as planned.

However, Jianchuan Ju was still confused, but Huang Tu, who was called out, was not surprised at all. He bowed and took the initiative to walk out of the team.

"Yes! Lord Tsuchikage!"

As he spoke, Huang Tu had already strode to the center of the training ground.

Huang Tu also has a sturdy and strong physique. Compared with the previous puppeteer Pushan Xun, Huang Tu is younger, but he is more solid and steady.

Although the original intention of this battle for the commander position was to rely on a round-robin defense to establish prestige for the person who wins the commander position in his subsequent work.

Therefore, the winner is required to be able to win consecutive battles.

However, looking at Maruboshi Kosuke who had just finished a fight in front of him, Huang Tu still asked very politely.

"I am the Jounin Huang Tu from the Hidden Rock Village. Senior Maruboshi Kosuke, do you need some more rest to recover?"

Looking at Huang Tu's sincere and polite tone, Maruboshi Kosuke smiled slightly and shook his head.

Seeing that the other party rejected his kindness, Huang Tu no longer hesitated and directly formed seals with his hands and launched his attack.

Just when everyone thought that this would be another battle between dragons and tigers.

After just a few rounds of fighting.

Maruboshi Kosuke took advantage of the gap when Huangtu was performing his ninjutsu and leaped to the edge of the training ground.

After pretending to take a few breaths, he raised his right hand with a smile.

"My chakra is exhausted. I give up!"

This action immediately stunned Huang Tu, who was forming a seal on the spot.

Not only Huangtu, all the surrounding ninjas were in an uproar.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Maruboshi Kosuke had not fought to his limit at this time.

Although they were suppressed by the loess throughout the whole process, they were not without the ability to fight.

However, since they had voluntarily admitted defeat and surrendered, others naturally couldn't say anything more and could only whisper and discuss in a low voice.

Jianchuan Ju looked thoughtfully at Namikaze Minato who was not surprised by this.

"Is this how Konoha originally planned it? Apart from the most important leaders, the strength of Konoha ninjas should also be displayed in other personnel?"

The personnel composition of the maintenance force itself is quite complex. By doing this, Konoha has at least demonstrated its own strength, regardless of the final outcome, and also expressed its importance to this joint force.

"However, how can Konoha guarantee that Maruboshi Kosuke will definitely win a round?"

And Jianchuan Ju's doubts don't end there.

Although Konoha's plan allowed Maruboshi Kosuke, a little-known ten-thousand-year-old Genin, to show his strength, it essentially destroyed the tacit understanding among the five major ninja villages that each village would only send one person to compete for the position of commander.

It is indeed a petty behavior.

This kind of petty calculation is really inconsistent with Jianchuan Ju's impression of Minato Namikaze's style.

However, Jianchuan Ju couldn't see anything useful on the other person's expressionless face at this moment.

"But no matter how you plan, you still have to rely on your strength to speak." Without dwelling on Minato Namikaze's thoughts, Jianchuan Tachibana turned his head to look in the direction of Hoshigaki Kisame and nodded slightly, indicating that he could go on stage.

Huang Tu in the field was obviously a little confused that his previous opponent did not seem to have tried his best.

But the next moment.

There was a loud bang.

The ground shook slightly.

The figure of Hoshigaki Kisame had already fallen heavily in front of him.

"The Hidden Mist Village, Hoshigaki Kisame!"

Such a violent appearance instantly quieted down the noisy surrounding ninjas.

Looking at the spider-web-like cracked ground under Hoshigaki Kisame's feet, many people swallowed secretly in their hearts.

Hoshigaki Kisame himself also revealed a slightly ferocious smile, baring his sharp teeth and looking at the yellow earth in front of him.

Seeing that Huangtu's expression was gradually becoming solemn, Hoshigaki Kisame also reached out for the 'double swords*鲆鲽' behind him.

"let's start!"

As the words fell, Hoshigaki Kisame suddenly exerted force with his feet.

The ground, which was already cracked, could no longer withstand the heavy pressure of this violence and instantly exploded into scattered pieces of soil, splashing backwards.

However, the figure of Hoshigaki Kisame was much faster than the flying stones, and he appeared in front of Huangtu in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Huang Tu immediately formed seals and released a wall of earth in front of him, trying to stop Hoshigaki Kisame from approaching.

However, Hoshigaki Kisame did not dodge or evade the 'Earth Flow Wall' that rose from the ground.

Veins bulged on the arm that held the hilt of the flounder knife.

The huge flounder instantly tore through the air, and the violent air waves directly shredded all the bandages wrapped around it.

A flash of white light flashed across the sky, and the earth wall in front of him was immediately split into two and collapsed with a loud bang.

It failed to stop Kisame's steps at all.

Seeing the 'Earth Flow Wall' being destroyed so easily, Huang Tu, who was flying backwards, immediately changed his expression.

He quickly formed seals with his hands again.

"Earth escape*rock fist technique!"

The hard brown rock stretched out quickly, and the entire right hand of the loess immediately turned into a huge lump of earth.

However, Huang Tu only had time to put his right hand by his side.

The next moment, a door-like sword came slashing in front of him with a whistling sound.

"when--"

There was a loud crashing sound, followed by a slight "crack" sound that reached Huang Tu's ears.

Feeling the tremendous force coming from his arm, Huang Tu was about to use ninjutsu again.

"earth"

But before he could finish his words of "Earth Escape*Heavy Rock Technique", his own huge earth fist smashed heavily in the face, completely cutting off the rest of his words.

Then there was a loud 'boom'.

Huang Tu flew out sideways like a cannonball.

A straight trail of smoke instantly appeared on the ground.

His figure only stopped after he crashed into the dense forest dozens of meters away, knocking down a large number of trees.
