Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 73: Lost

The three little ones looked at each other.

Since Qing successfully survived, no matter what the situation outside is, the three of them must go out.

The best situation is naturally that all three jonin of the Hidden Mist Village survive, and the jonin of the opposing Akimichi clan fails in their desperate counterattack.

But it is also possible that only Qing survived and is now being besieged by three Konoha Jonins.

But even so, Jianchuan Ju and the other two would not abandon Qing, who had always taken good care of them, and run away.

"The four of them have not moved yet, so this shouldn't be the worst situation."

Zabuza sensed it carefully again and then answered.

"Go to Teacher Qing's direction first!"

The three of them no longer hesitated, jumped out of the collapsed pit, and ran quickly in the direction pointed by Zabuza.

Fortunately, it was not the worst situation, but the scene in front of the three people was still tragic.

Among the four surviving jonin, the jonin of the Akimichi clan had fallen into a coma and was being protected by the ninja of the Nara clan.

The opponent's abdomen was pierced by a sharp weapon on his back. He must be a dead ninja from the Yamanaka clan.

The ones who survived on the Kirigakure side were Ao and Kurishan Kushimaru, but both of them were not having a good time either.

Kurishan Kushimaru's right arm had been twisted into a very strange shape by something, and there were multiple wounds on his body. He could only half-kneel on the ground and gasp for breath, leaning on a long knife with his left hand to sew the wounds.

Qing's left leg seemed to be broken by a heavy object, and was bent at an angle that was completely contrary to common sense of the human body. White bones could be vaguely seen among the bloody flesh. He was weakly half leaning in a big hole that looked like it was caused by a ninjutsu explosion.

As for the bodies of the other two Konoha ninjas and Yahu, they were in a horrible state. Their final location could only be determined by the large amount of blood that seeped out of the ground. It would probably be difficult to dig them out in a short time.

Seeing that Jianchuan Ju and the other two had arrived relatively safe and sound, Qing's tense spirit finally relaxed and he fainted directly.

As for the senior ninja from the Nara clan, he immediately put his hands together and looked at them warily when the three people arrived.

At this time, Kurishai Kushimaru on the other side was breathing heavily and spoke happily at the same time.

"That guy doesn't have much chakra left. He's trying to scare you. Go ahead and kill him, kid."

After saying this, perhaps because he was too excited and his wound was affected, Kurishan Kushimaru fell to the ground.

However, the three little ones did not have such high trust in Kurisan Kushimaru, so they all chose to test him by long-range throwing.

But Zabuza was a little different. He held the steel wire with one hand and threw the dagger out with the other hand.

Seeing this, Nara Suzaku's eyes became blank and he fell into despair.

Just as Kurishan Kushimaru said, he had already fallen into a state of chakra depletion, and even his physical strength was almost exhausted.

The reason why he was still alive was because his teammate Akimichi Tsukabe, before he ate the "yellow curry ball" in anger and prepared to use the super-multiplication technique, he did not forget to throw Yamanakaike's body into the air with him.

Just now, in order to be able to take a defensive posture without leaving any flaws, he had already exhausted the last of his physical strength.

'At least I stood in front of Sibing before I died.' Nara Suzaku thought so.

However, a strange strip-shaped object flew in front of him from a distance, swung around in the air, blocked all attacks, and then fell to the ground.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a poisonous snake as thick as a forearm nailed to the ground.

Everyone looked towards the shore in the direction from which the venomous snake flew. Two figures were running quickly from the sea. Looking at the feminine man in front, wearing a Konoha jonin vest and with long black hair, Jianchuan Ju could already feel the breath of death approaching without the reminder of "danger foreknowledge".

The person who came was Orochimaru, the front-line commander of Konoha and one of the three ninjas.

Orochimaru ignored the three frightened little ones and instantly landed next to Nara Suzaku with Yakushi Nono.

He patted the other person's shoulder and spoke gently in his unique hoarse voice.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

It is hard to imagine that the legendary Orochimaru, a man who is close to the top of Konoha, would have such a gentle side.

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Nara Suzaku relaxed and fell down exhausted.

Pharmacist Nono, who had returned with Orochimaru, immediately stepped forward to support the other person, and began to treat the injuries of the last two surviving Konoha ninjas as if no one was around.

Jianchuan Ju grabbed the corner of Zabuza's clothes tightly, fearing that this guy would want to use his short knife to trim Orochimaru's nails.

It was not until then that Orochimaru slowly turned around, looked at the people from the Hidden Mist Village, and spoke casually.

"As expected of the Blood Mist Village, these little guys are quite spirited."

As he said this, Orochimaru stuck out his strange long tongue and licked his lips.

The three little ones did not dare to look back at Kurisai Kushimaru's condition at this time. They could only pray silently in their hearts that this Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, who was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, would be able to take up the responsibility and confront Orochimaru as soon as possible.

However, Jianchuan Ju felt somewhat suspicious in his heart, not because of anything else, but because the intensity of the reminder of 'danger foreknowledge' in his mind suddenly weakened a lot at this moment.

How should I put it? It was even more intense than the sense of crisis that Jianchuan Ju felt when she was walking on the side of the road in the commercial street a while ago and a flower pot was about to fall from the building above.

Jianchuan Ju felt that even if he did nothing and just stood there quietly, he would probably only suffer minor injuries.

"Is it that Orochimaru has no intention of dealing with us Genin? Or is there something wrong with his ability to predict danger?"

Just when Jianchuan Ju was confused but still had a glimmer of hope.

"Boom~" x3
His two teammates and Lan Zai fell to the ground without any warning.

Jianchuan Ju found that he seemed to be a step behind and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Isn't it a bit late for me to fall down now?"

Looking at the curious and amusement-filled expression of Orochimaru opposite him, Jianchuan Ju wanted to slap himself twice.

I had thought too much before, fearing that there might be a member of the Yamanaka clan among the living Konoha Jonin, so I had not lifted the blessing of the 'mysterious protection'.

Now that he had completely ignored Orochimaru's illusion attack, it seemed a little too conspicuous.

"Interesting kid, do you have some special physique?"

As he spoke, Orochimaru walked slowly towards Jianchuan Tachibana.

Just when Jianchuan Ju was thinking whether he had a chance to cast the "Steam Explosion" in front of Aunt Snake, and even if he succeeded, whether he had a chance to escape.

Orochimaru, who seemed to be walking casually, suddenly raised his hand towards himself.

Countless snakes of various shapes and colors emerged from the opponent's sleeves and quickly shot towards Jianchuan Ju.
