Chapter 247 Kitazawa vs. Suigetsu Fuguki (First and Second Updates)

Kitazawa and his group headed towards the sea.

Although Itachi Uchiha and other Anbu members were acting with them, they did not show themselves.

Like the phosphorus-destroying insects of Aburame Torune, they were searching for traces of the Suigetsu Hozuki Ninja Team in the vicinity.

After walking for a while, Kitazawa leaped to the top of a tree.

Taking advantage of the distance between himself and Kurenai and the others, he activated his Byakugan.

In addition, he pretended to use sensory ninjutsu to conceal the chakra fluctuations of his Byakugan.

Kitazawa looked around, then turned off his Byakugan and continued on his way.

Soon, they arrived at the beach.

The seaside is a dangerous area, and most of the battles between Konoha and Kirigakure take place here.

The ninjas of Kirigakure had the advantage of a good location.

They are in a state of active attack, and if they fail, they will flee back to the island.

Konoha ninjas generally do not chase after people into the sea.

Because water-based escape techniques have a huge advantage in the sea.

This is why Kirigakure was able to wage a protracted war with Konoha.

Of course, many powerful Konoha ninja squads would also storm the islands and occupy outposts and strongholds.

"Just received intelligence: ten minutes ago, the Suigetsu Hozuki squad appeared and attacked the northern outpost."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared in front of Kitazawa and the others and said.

"go!"

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa said nothing, but simply sped up and headed north.

They were fast; they arrived at the target outpost in five minutes.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.

The entire Konoha ninja squad at the outpost has been wiped out.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Squad did not occupy the outpost; they killed them and left.

There was no trace of them nearby.

Yu Nu Qu Gen described the observations made about the phosphorus worms.

"pity."

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly and said, "We can't catch up with them anymore."

"I think we should change our strategy."

Kitazawa pondered for a moment and said, "If you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step. It's just too passive."

"What can you do?"

Kurenai looked at him and asked.

"Treat others in their own way."

Kitazawa replied, "We'll do exactly what the Suigetsu Fugu Demon Squad does."

"This method is worth a try."

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment and said, "With our strength, we can inflict even greater losses on Kirigakure."

"good."

Kurenai agreed, saying, "The Suigetsu Hozuki Squad will come looking for us then."

"Our team will take the right side, Itachi, your team will take the left side."

Kitazawa took out a map, pointed to the seaside, and said, "Once we encounter the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, we should kill them as quickly as possible."

"This is a signal flare from the Dark Division."

Itachi Uchiha gave Kitazawa two signal flares and said, "We'll come as soon as we see the signal flares."

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Be careful."

Uchiha Itachi immediately disappeared from the spot.

"Take the root and launch a large-scale reconnaissance."

Kitazawa gave the instructions.

The oil woman raised her hands, and two plumes of thick smoke flew out.

That was a visual spectacle formed by the massive gathering of phosphorus-destroying insects.

Thick smoke dissipated in the air, and the phosphorus-destroying insects flew in all directions.

Kitazawa reached the top of a tree and looked out to sea.

He rolled his eyes while wearing sunglasses.

“Take the root; there’s an island in that direction.”

Kitazawa raised his hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Nu Qu Gen immediately urged the phosphorus-damaged insects to fly away.

After a moment, he spoke up: "There is a Kirigakure outpost on the island, with one special Jonin and three Chunin inside."

"Let's go straight there."

Kitazawa took the lead, walking on water.

The other four people quickly followed him.

"They found us."

Aburame Torune reminded her.

Kitazawa looked up and saw four Hidden Mist Village ninjas standing guard on an island not far away.

He calculated the distance and immediately formed a hand seal.

The sea surface suddenly began to tremble.

Drawn by the water-style chakra, a large amount of seawater rose into the air and eventually transformed into a giant dragon ten meters long.

"Defense! Defense!"

The four Hidden Mist Village ninjas were startled.

They had never seen such a terrifying Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

In their panic, they quickly used ninjutsu to counterattack.

Two walls of water and one wall of earth rose up in front of them.

Then a huge fireball flew out.

But the dragon easily extinguished the fireball and smashed through three walls, scattering the four Hidden Mist Village ninjas.

Fire Escape·The great fire is extinguished!

Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!

Uchiha Izumi and Yakushi Kabuto simultaneously formed hand seals.

Fueled by the wind, the fire engulfed the four Hidden Mist Village ninjas in an instant.

"Go to the next place."

Seeing this, Kitazawa did not go ashore, but turned and left.

"Teacher Kitazawa's water jutsu is truly unbeatable at sea."

"I can't help but say that," Kabuto Yakushi said.

Uchiha Izumi nodded in agreement.

Her and Kabuto's two ninjutsu techniques were purely for finishing off enemies.

Kitazawa's Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique had rendered four Hidden Mist Village ninjas incapable of fighting.

This is even with the fact that these four Hidden Mist Village ninjas are relatively strong.

If you replaced them with four weaker Kirigakure ninjas, they wouldn't need to waste chakra using ninjutsu to finish them off.

"The word 'invincible' should be used sparingly to avoid causing trouble."

Kitazawa said casually.

Kabuto looked completely bewildered.

Where did this setting come from?
Why did this happen?

"Two o'clock direction."

After walking for more than ten minutes, Aburame Torune spoke up, "A Konoha village outpost is being besieged by Kirigakure ninja."

Kitazawa immediately sped up.

A moment later, a battlefield surrounding the outpost came into view.

The Hidden Mist Village ninja squad had the upper hand because their captain was a Jonin.

The strongest ninja in the Konoha village ninja squad was only a special jonin, so even with the advantage of a sentry post, they were forced to retreat one after another.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Kitazawa looked at the Jonin of Kirigakure, and a roaring water dragon flew out.

Both sides immediately noticed Kitazawa and his group when they suddenly appeared.

"It's Lord Kitazawa!"

The Konoha Village special Jonin recognized Kitazawa and exclaimed with delight, "We're saved!"

"Kitazawa?"

Upon hearing this, the Kirigakure Jonin immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

He didn't forget to form hand seals while he was speaking.

A wall of water rose up and blocked their way.

Upon hearing this, the other three Chunin from Kirigakure abandoned the fight without hesitation and ran away.

During this period, Kitazawa and his team were extremely prominent and their reputation spread far and wide.

It's difficult for Kirigakure to find a ninja who doesn't recognize him.

Therefore, the Jonin of Kirigakure made the decisive choice to run away.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

Their escape actually made things easier for him.

Water Release: Water Pillar!
Kitazawa tilted his head back and spat out a large water ball.

At the same time, the water dragon had already broken through the water wall.

Without the obstruction of the water wall, the giant water ball hurtled towards the Hidden Mist Village Jonin at an extremely high speed.

The Jonin of Kirigakure sensed danger.

He formed a hand seal, turned his head, and a water dragon flew out.

The giant water ball hit the water dragon and immediately burst like a balloon, splashing a large amount of water that rushed towards the Hidden Mist Village Jonin.

"Is this Water Release: Water Pillar Formation?"

The Jonin from Kirigakure finally realized what was happening.

Water Release: Water Pillar is a Water Release technique used by Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

The Kirigakure Jonin subconsciously believed that Kitazawa wouldn't do it, so he just treated the large water ball as an ordinary water jutsu.

The water flowed over him like a torrential downpour.

The Hidden Mist Village Jonin was thrown several meters away.

Fortunately, he was also extremely skilled in water-based techniques and was not seriously injured.

But with this delay, he no longer had time to run.

Screams sounded.

The Kirigakure Jonin instinctively looked over and saw that his three students had all perished under the combined attack of Kurenai Yuhi and Kabuto Yakushi.

The next second, he felt a jolt in his heart.

Darkness descended all around him, and he lost all sight.

"What ninjutsu is this?"

The Hidden Mist Village Jonin instinctively ran outside.

The sound of wind breaking came from behind him.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
The highly focused Kirigakure Jonin quickly turned around and created a wall of water.

The kunai was blocked and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

Uchiha Style: Gale Sword!
Kitazawa appeared behind him and swung his sword.

The enormous blade of fire immediately tore him apart.

Kitazawa then dispelled the Dark Travel spell.

Because he was a Jonin from Kirigakure, he took out a summoning scroll and put the corpse inside. "Lord Kitazawa! Thank you so much!"

The Konoha Village Special Jonin looked grateful and said, "If it weren't for your help, we would probably be corpses by now!"

"You guys clean up the battlefield, we'll go first."

Kitazawa waved his hand and left with Kurenai Yuhi and Kabuto Yakushi.

Time passes slowly.

With the help of Aburame Torune's phosphorescent insects and Kitazawa's byakugan, they achieved amazing efficiency.

In less than half a day, seven Kirigakure ninja squads had been eliminated.

Adding to the actions of Itachi Uchiha and other Anbu members, Kirigakure suffered heavy losses in just one morning.

An island somewhere.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon Squad is resting and preparing lunch.

Suddenly, the sound of wind breaking rang out.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon looked wary.

The tension eased only after they realized the newcomers were ANBU ninjas from Kirigakure.

"Master Pufferfish Ghost."

The ANBU ninja bowed slightly, took out a scroll, and said, "Lord Qing asked me to give this to you."

What mission does he have?

Suigetsu Hozuki snorted and opened the scroll.

He was very dissatisfied with Qing.

One reason is that Ao was constantly engaged in a protracted war with Konoha, which was a waste of time.

Secondly, it was because Qing had taken his position as the frontline commander.

Their positions in Kirigakure are roughly equal, and either of them could potentially become the frontline commander.

However, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon had not yet returned to the village, and with the strong recommendation of Master Yuan and others, Ao got there first.

"Good boy!"

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon grinned maliciously, "You dare to imitate me?"

"Who?"

A middle-aged ninja asked curiously.

His specialty is earth-based escape techniques.

Suigetsu Hozuki casually tossed the scroll to him.

"Kitazawa?"

The middle-aged ninja's face darkened, and he said, "This kid is clearly provoking us; we must teach him a lesson!"

Kitazawa and the others' goal was to attract the attention of Suigetsu Hobutsuki and make them show themselves.

Therefore, their behavior was very high-profile, and they made no attempt to conceal it.

The news quickly reached Qing.

So Ao assigned this task to Suigetsu Hozuki, asking him to stop Kitazawa and the others.

"Since he's offered himself up, we definitely can't let him go."

Suigetsu Hozuki stood up, grabbed his greatsword Samehada and slung it over his back, saying, "Let's deal with Kitazawa's squad before we eat."

"Yes!"

The other three Hidden Mist Village ninjas answered in unison.

The four people left the island and headed straight northwest.

Without needing any prompting from Suigetsu Hobuki, a young ninja proactively formed hand seals and unleashed a sensory ninjutsu.

Half an hour later, he suddenly spoke up: "They are two kilometers ahead."

"Ready to fight."

Suigetsu Hobuki warned, "There are Aburame clan ninjas in Kitazawa's squad. If we get close to them, we'll be discovered."

"Four Jonin from Kirigakure are on their way!"

At the same time, Aburame Torune suddenly stood up and said with a serious expression.

"I stopped the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon."

Kitazawa immediately released a signal flare from the Anbu and said, "Focus on defense and wait for Itachi and the others to arrive."

He didn't need to ask to know who the four Kirigakure Jonin were.

Clearly, their strategy had worked, and Kirigakure could no longer allow them to continue like this.

Kurenai Yuhi, Kabuto Yakushi, and the other two nodded.

The opposing team consisted entirely of Jonin, and with their strength, they naturally couldn't defeat them; they could only stall for time.

"coming!"

Upon seeing Suigetsu Hozuki and the others, Kabuto immediately formed hand seals.

The enormous, semi-transparent whirlwind shot out like a cannonball.

Suigetsu Hobutsu gripped his greatsword, Samehada.

With a flick of his right hand, the bandages covering the Greatsword Samehada instantly broke apart, revealing its true form.

This is a dark blue knife with barbs. It's not made of metal and looks more like some kind of living thing.

Suigetsu Hobutsu slashed at the giant typhoon with his sword.

The greatsword Samehada suddenly opened its huge mouth and swallowed the giant wind ball at an extremely fast speed.

"Is this the Samehada, the greatsword that can absorb ninjutsu?"

The doctor was startled and couldn't help but ask.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are very famous, as are their seven swords.

Konoha Village has recorded the functions of the seven swords in detail.

Among them, the Greatsword Samehada is the most special, as it is a living creature that can absorb chakra.

Earth Escape·Tu Long Spear!
The middle-aged ninja from Kirigakure stopped and pressed his hands to the ground.

In an instant, countless sharp rock pillars rose from the ground where Kitazawa and the others were standing, as if they were countless spears trying to pierce them.

My feet hurt!
Kitazawa stood still and stomped down.

The terrifying force caused the rock pillars to break, and cracks appeared all over the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the area around him was riddled with potholes.

"Tsunade's monstrous strength?"

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon suddenly accelerated.

He appeared before Kitazawa like a bolt of lightning.

Suigetsu Hozuki leaped up, gripping the greatsword Samehada with both hands, and slammed it down as if Mount Tai were crashing down.

The air was torn apart, producing a whistling sound.

Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame!
Kitazawa drew Zangetsu to block the Greatsword Samehada.

Boom!
The ground where Kitazawa was standing sank down.

His clothes fluttered in the wind.

"The power is good."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

Most ninjas would be injured to some extent if he struck them with that slash.

Only Kitazawa seemed unaffected.

But when you think about how he was Tsunade's student and learned superhuman strength, it doesn't seem strange at all.

"Samebas!"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon roared and pressed his hands down.

Meanwhile, the greatsword Samehada bit Zangetsu.

The flames on the surface of the Moon-Slaying Blade were quickly absorbed by it, and it became dim.

Lightning Release: Supersonic Lightning Blade!

Kitazawa, without changing his expression, poured Lightning Release chakra into Zangetsu.

Lightning flashed.

The Greatsword Samehada felt that Zangetsu had become extremely prickly.

If you don't loosen your grip, your teeth will break.

The greatsword Samehada quickly released its grip.

"what?"

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's pupils contracted involuntarily.

This was the first time he had ever seen Samehada react like this.

Strange power!

Kitazawa clenched his left fist and swung it out.

Suigetsu Hozuki quickly stepped back and used his greatsword Samehada to block the punch.

Even so, the immense force still caused his hands to feel numb and tingly.

Uchiha Style: Gale Sword!
Kitazawa appeared behind him and slashed out with his sword.

The blade of Zangetsu flew out as a scorching flame.

As soon as Suigetsu Hozuki turned around, his greatsword Samehada immediately opened its mouth.

Wind Release: Shuriken!
Kitazawa flicked his left hand and threw a shuriken at the mouth of the greatsword Samehada.

Greatsword Samehada quickly shut his mouth.

As with any living organism, the inside is often the most vulnerable part, and this is no exception.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon frowned.

The invincible sword Samehada suffered two consecutive defeats in front of Kitazawa.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon reacted quickly, raising a wall of water.

While blocking the flame blade and the wind shuriken, he jumped up and created distance.

The water wall shattered the next second.

However, the Flame Blade and Wind Release: Shuriken also missed their target.

Kitazawa took a moment to check on the situation of Yakushi Kabuto and Yuhi Kurenai.

They were clearly at a disadvantage against three Jonin from Kirigakure.

Fortunately, the Jonin of Kirigakure were wary of Aburame Torane's Phosphorous Worms.

But only there.

As Kitazawa's team rapidly gained fame, their individual information also became known to Kirigakure.

This includes the phosphorus-damaging insects that are taken from the roots of the oil-producing plant.

Having prior intelligence, it becomes much harder for the Hidden Mist Village's Jonin to fall into their trap.

However, the phosphorus worm remains a significant threat.

Kitazawa withdrew his gaze.

Kurenai and Kabuto could hold out for a minute or two without much trouble.

Time is short, and it's uncertain whether we can hold out until the Dark Guard team arrives to rescue us.

But that was enough for Itachi Uchiha to arrive.

"Kid, you should worry about yourself!"

Suigetsu Hobutsu sneered, and with a swift horizontal slash, his greatsword Samehada hurtled towards Kitazawa.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
An earthen wall blocked the Greatsword Samehada.

With a little effort, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon smashed the earthen wall.

The next second, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

Suigetsu Hobutsu leaped forward and looked at the second sword Kitazawa had drawn: Thunder.

If it has the same lightning-attracting function as Thunder Blade Fang, then it is most likely the reforged Thunder Blade Fang.

As his thoughts raced, he twisted the hilt of his greatsword Samehada, and a chain extended, sending the blade hurtling toward Kitazawa at incredible speed.

This is Samehada: Flying Chain Slash.
