Chapter 189 The Return of the Mechanical City (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Kohinata felt that things were too difficult for her.

The three people opposite him were all experts who were no weaker than him, or even stronger.

Moreover, because Kirigakure mainly operates within the Land of Water, the outside world has very limited understanding of them. Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, whose fame is widely known in the ninja world, are not known about the abilities of their weapons.

However, the characteristics of the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist are widely known in the ninja world, putting them at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence.

The two sides were evenly matched, and the other side had the advantage in numbers and intelligence. How could they possibly fight?

There's no chance of winning.

As soon as Kohinata landed, Suigetsu Hozuki attacked, his two-meter-tall Samehada, as wide and thick as two adult palms, was slammed down with immense force.

Fortunately, Kohinata possessed the Byakugan, which allowed her to detect the enemy who was lying in wait in advance.

Therefore, preparations were made in advance.

He drew a kunai from each hand and crossed his arms above his head.

"Clang!"

With a heavy metallic clang, immense force came from both hands.

Kohinata felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on him, and he could no longer control his chakra, so he was shoved into the water.

"The underwater world is our home turf!"

After clearing out the minions, Yagura Karatachi smiled slightly upon seeing this scene and formed hand seals once more.

Instantly, the water flowed faster and became turbulent.

The massive tornado swirled and shook the entire coastline.

A few seconds later, the tornado dissipated and the water calmed down.

Yagura gazed at the calm sea, and after a few minutes of waiting without seeing anyone, he smiled faintly, "If he's still alive after all this, you can consider him incredibly lucky."

After saying that, he turned to look at the Whirlpool Clan hiding on the shore, "You are all ordinary people. If you voluntarily tell us what we want, even the Land of Blood Mist will not make things difficult for you."

The members of the Uzumaki clan looked at each other in bewilderment, and then a young man with a resolute face stepped forward.

"We know nothing."

"I see!"

Yagura's smile gradually froze, and a chill crept into his voice. "In that case, we have no choice but to use ninja methods."

"Spread out and run!"

The young man shouted and fled in a random direction, while the others also scattered like birds and beasts.

"Grab them!"

As Yagura gave the order, five hundred Kirigakure ninja filed out and chased after the fleeing people.

……

There is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and ninjas, not to mention the huge difference in numbers.

In less than five minutes, all thirty Vortex Clan members were captured and brought back.

Yagura approached the young man who was in charge and smiled, "You should know that even corpses can be used by ninjas to obtain the information they want. I'll give you one more chance. If you don't speak, we'll have to use our own methods."

No one responded.

Although many people were trembling with fear, and the children couldn't help but cry, no one spoke up.

Because they really don't know.

Seeing this, Yagura also frowned.

The requirements for learning sealing techniques are very high; even among ninjas, very few have mastered them.

He didn't think these ordinary people knew, but he still hoped they would.

Because if they didn't know, they would surely die.

Ninjas can indeed obtain the information they want through forceful methods, but these methods are not very friendly to the target.

In mild cases, it can cause brain paralysis; in severe cases, it can lead to immediate death.

Despite being born in a land of blood mist, Yagura did not want to shed fearless blood.

But reality did not turn out as he had hoped.

"Phew~"

Yagura sighed deeply and raised his hand to beckon.

Two Hidden Mist ninjas understood each other and approached the captured Uzumaki clan member, preparing to form hand seals and perform a memory-searching ninjutsu.

Suddenly, the sky darkened abruptly.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge shadow looming down from behind the clouds.

"What is that!?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The unknown is terrifying. The enormous shadow that appeared behind the clouds, beyond human imagination, made the people of Kirigakure feel unprecedented pressure, heavier than a mountain pressing on their hearts.

Even Yagura and the two Ninja Swordsmen looked up at the sky with solemn expressions.

The shadow grew larger and larger, eventually breaking through the clouds.

The mountains and continents, seemingly upside down, appeared in everyone's view, stretching as far as the eye could see, as if the sky itself was obscured by the continents.

"That is..."

"The Mechanical City!"

Yagura's youthful face darkened.

The name of the Mechanical City had already spread throughout the ninja world a week ago.

Although many people dismiss this, they cannot ignore the fact that Konoha was nearly destroyed.

At this moment, while they are conducting a secret operation in Kirigakure, the arrival of the Mechanical Castle is not a good thing for them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Dense numbers of puppets flew out of the mechanical city, swarming towards Mist Shadow like locusts.

"Be careful!"

Yagura shouted, and the group of Kirigakure ninja scattered and gripped their weapons.

His reminder was not in vain.

The knight-like puppets launched their attack in mid-air, with kunai launchers mounted on their shoulders projecting kunai connected to chakra threads downwards.

Although each machine only projects two kunai, there are too many knight puppets. The result of each machine launching two kunai is that the sky is covered by kunai and chakra threads.

If Yagura hadn't warned them, this attack would have been enough to wipe them out.

But even with warnings and preparations, individual strength seems so insignificant in the face of such a massive offensive.

Some people were so frightened that they forgot to resist!

"cut!"

Yagura frowned and formed a hand seal.

[Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!]

Suddenly, the sea surface exploded, and a huge dragon head rose from the sea and then flew up.

A giant dragon, as thick as a water bucket and with a body twenty meters long, swept through the air, knocking down countless kunai.

Suigetsu Mountain Pufferfish Demon and Mushishi Jinpachi each used their own methods to resist.

But there are too many bitter pills.

Even with three experts working together, they couldn't knock down all the kunai. A large number of kunai continued to fall, taking away countless lives.

But compared to the previous offensives that offered no hope whatsoever, at least now they have the means to resist.

Some agile ninjas wielded kunai, ninja swords, or used other means to knock down kunai that were being shot at them.

But before they could catch their breath, a sea breeze blew in, and the knight puppets came rushing in, brandishing their fancy weapons.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft..."

Blood gushed forth, staining the nearby sea crimson, and screams rose and fell.

The ninjas, who had barely survived the kunai rain, faced slaughter once again.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!"

Wuli Shenba ran swiftly across the sea, wielding his greatsword as he ran, each strike exploding into a puppet.

Suigetsu Hozuki formed hand seals, his long orange hair transforming into tentacles that spread in all directions, each one entangling a puppet before crushing it to pieces.
