The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

I just muttered so much nonsense to myself, I was all ready to become a hero.

But in the blink of an eye, he was knocked to the ground.

They were in a sorry state.

They didn't even see who was attacking them.

This is utterly disgraceful to Hozuki Gengetsu.

It just so happened that it fell right in front of Kisame Hoshigaki and Fuguki.

How can Hozuki regain its glory now?

It would be good enough if they didn't bring shame to the Hozuki clan.

Hozuki Izumo didn't want to open his eyes at all; he just wanted to pass out.

However, given the current situation, Hozuki Izumo knew that he couldn't pretend to be unconscious.

He was now surrounded by Konoha ninja.

Pretending to faint is no different from committing suicide.

"I am fine."

Hozuki Izumo struggled to get up.

Danzo walked out step by step.

Danzo originally did not want to take action, and according to the normal plan, he did not need to.

As part of Danzo's plan, Hozuki Izumo would not send reinforcements here.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu's actions forced Izumo, who had been "kidnapped," to intervene.

Danzo had no choice but to take action.

"But the outcome will not change."

"Just a mere Hozuki Izumo, and a mere Raiden."

Danzo looked at Kisame Hoshigaki and the others.

Give an order.

"Quick victory!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Having received Danzo's orders, the Konoha ninja's offensive immediately became even more ferocious.

"Hasn't Lord Yagura noticed yet?"

Hozuki Izumo complained somewhat discontentedly.

At this moment, Hozuki Izumo realized that the one who had just ambushed him was Shimura Danzo.

Given the current situation, with Konoha ninjas already outnumbering Kirigakure ninjas and the emergence of Danzo Shimura, it will be extremely difficult for them to escape and break out.

The pufferfish demon glanced at Hozuki Izumo.

"Yagura-senpai must have been held back. Shimura Danzo is very cunning. Since he appeared, he must have made corresponding preparations. We were careless and fell into an ambush."

"However, since Yagura-senpai can't come, we might be able to wait for someone else."

Hozuki Izumo quickly asked.

"Who?"

"Raiga".

"Raiga? Isn't that my Raiga's ninjutsu?"

Hozuki Izumo subconsciously looked at the lightning sword in his hand.

“I said no, I said it’s Kurosuki Raiga.”

"That's what the pufferfish demon said."

Upon hearing this name, Hozuki Izumo's expression immediately became somewhat complicated.

After all, the previous user of the Raiga was Kurozuki Raiga.

It stayed in the hands of Kurozuki Raiga the longest.

It later fell into the hands of the Taketori clan, specifically Taketori Hikaru.

Then comes oneself.

However, Hozumo doesn't think much of Raiga Kurosuki.

They felt that Kurosuki Raiga's strength was insufficient and that he had tarnished the Raiga sword.

After that, they couldn't even defend against the lightning blade.

Even bamboo, which takes light, is better than black hoe and thunder teeth.

And for myself, it was even more so.

Hozuki Izumo felt that he was much stronger than Kurosuki Raiga and could better utilize the power of the Raiga.

But now, Fuguki is saying that Kurosuki Raiga will appear and can support them and help them escape their predicament?

How can this be?

"That guy, Raiga Kurosuki? What can he do?"

Hozuki Izumo blurted it out unconsciously.

The pufferfish demon glanced at Hozuki Izumo.

"You'll find out when Raiga arrives."

Originally, the pufferfish demon wanted to explain, but Hozuki Izumo's attitude made him give up the idea of ​​explaining.

The pufferfish demon could see that Hozuki Izumo disdained Kurosuki Raiga.

But no matter what, Raiga Kurosuki was one of the Seven Ninja of Kirigakure from the same batch as him.

What kind of person would say something like looking down on Raiga Kurosuki right in front of him?

Hozuki Izumo had absolutely no belief that Kurosuki Raiga's arrival could change anything.

Moreover, Hozuki Izumo had inquired about Kurosuki Raiga's situation. After that defeat, he had been in a state of depression, drinking heavily and staying up all night, living a life that was neither human nor demonic.

How much strength will be left?

Their strength was not strong enough to begin with.

"Lord Danzo, a Hidden Mist ninja is approaching this way, and they are moving very fast."

A Hyuga ninja reports.

"how many people?"

"A squad of four."

"It's not Yagura, is it?"

"No."

"Then there's no need to worry."

Danzo crossed his arms over his chest.

“As long as Yagura doesn’t come, no matter how many Kirigakure ninjas come to support us, it won’t change the situation. I can take at least one of Kisame Hoshigaki and Suigetsu Hozuki with me.”

Just at this time.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck, and the Konoha ninja squad that came to block the Black Hoshinobi Raiga squad instantly fell to the ground.

Danzo heard the sound and quickly turned around.

"Lightning Release? A ninja from Kumogakure?"

With the Lightning Blade already being used by Hozuki Izumo, the appearance of Lightning Release made Danzo subconsciously assume it was a ninja from Kumogakure, and he couldn't help but worry.

Currently, the situation in Konoha is not very good.

The Hidden Mist Village's Shinigami squad, relying on their Zanpakuto, not only boosted the village's morale but also enhanced its overall strength.

Especially Orochimaru's defeat.

Konoha had to admit that it had fallen into a disadvantageous position in its confrontation with Kirigakure.

In this situation, if the Hidden Cloud Village were to join forces with the Hidden Mist Village, the situation in Konoha would become extremely dire.

But soon, Danzo saw what the newcomer looked like.

"Hidden Mist Ninja".

"Black Hoe Thunder Fang?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Even without the Lightning Blade, he can still use such a powerful Lightning Release technique?"

"It seems I underestimated you, Raiga Kurosugi."

"You are stronger than that one from the Hozuki clan."

"But how much of your Lightning Release ninjas can you do against me?"

"My Wind Release technique is effective against you Lightning Release ninjas."

"Moreover, setting aside that factor, my strength far surpasses yours."

"I will no longer be subject to the daily execution."

"I didn't want to get involved, but since you've all come up to me one by one, I won't mind crushing you all and letting the ninja world remember my terror with your lives."

The pufferfish demon breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Raiga Kurosuki's appearance.

"Raiga, you've finally arrived."

Before Raiga Kurosuki went to the front lines, the Third Mizukage had already arranged for someone to notify Yagura and the others.
