Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

A figure stood in front of three ninjas from Kumogakure.

Takai's expression was somewhat solemn. Although he had just used up a lot of chakra to land that Water Wave.

Judging from the other party's nonchalant expression and their behavior just now.

The ninja in front of me is clearly an absolute master.

Even the village's elite Jonin didn't give him this much pressure.

After all, Takai was already close to the level of an elite Jonin.

Therefore, the strength of this ninja in front of us is self-evident.

Movie-level.

However, he remembered all the famous Kage-level shikigami in Konoha very clearly.

Who is this person in front of me?

He glanced at the two Chunin behind him; they had survived, but were covered in wounds.

Clearly, they had almost lost the ability to continue fighting.

The battle ahead will depend on him alone.

Takai took a deep breath and then said.

"If you kill us, the envoys of Kumogakure, Kumogakure will surely hold Konoha accountable, and may even start a war with Konoha."

Takai took a breath; he was frantically refining chakra.

At the same time, his mouth was also busy.

"Sir, please spare us. I will remember this kindness and wait until..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

A playful smile appeared on Watanabe Tetsu's lips.

"You mean, if I kill you all, you'll declare war on Konoha?"

Watanabe Tetsu's smile made Takai a little flustered, but he still affirmed it.

"Yes! If you don't want to provoke a conflict between the two villages..."

"good!"

What does "good" mean?

Do you really want the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village to go to war?

Are you from Konoha?

How can you not love the village at all!

Regardless of what Takai thought, Watanabe Tetsu immediately formed hand seals after speaking.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Three identical figures appeared behind Watanabe Tetsuya.

The shadow clones swiftly appeared around Takai and then simultaneously formed hand seals.

Thanks to the previous water jets, the battlefield is now covered in water.

This made it exceptionally easy for Watanabe Tetsu to use Water Release ninjutsu.

This is also a common tactic used by water-style ninjas.

First, change the environment with a large-scale water-style technique, then attack with an offensive water-style ninjutsu.

This conserves chakra and increases damage output.

Four hand seals were quickly formed, and with the input of chakra, four powerful water dragons rose into the air.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Four identical voices came from all around Takai.

The surging water made the water dragon's body hard and thick.

The water on the ground kept flowing into the sky, making the water dragon grow bigger and bigger.

At that moment, the cicadas stopped chirping, the birds stopped singing, and only the sound of flowing water remained.

Four water dragons stared intently at Takai with their golden eyes, their sharp fangs seemingly capable of tearing anything apart, and their powerful pressure surged towards Takai like a tidal wave.

Takai swore he had never seen anything so horrific in his life.

Before the four towering water dragons, his body was as small as an ant.

When he raised his head, a strong sense of oppression pressed down on him.

"this..."

He pursed his lips.

Is this a ninjutsu that a human can unleash?

This level of ninjutsu...

Takai swallowed hard, his fists clenching involuntarily, but his body felt weak.

But Watanabe Tetsu won't wait for Takai to adjust his condition.

The next second, the four giant dragons swung their bodies and charged towards Takai.

"roar!"

Four roars, like thunderclaps, echoed as the water dragon traced a graceful arc in the air before hurtling towards Takai.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Stimulated by lightning-attribute chakra, the user's physical body is greatly enhanced.

Only in this way can Takai have a chance to survive.

The next second, the water dragon crashed into Takai.

Tearing, impact.

The powerful impact and the unique tearing force of the water dragon made Takai's body unable to withstand it any longer.

"Ahhhhh!"

The pain and intense tearing sensation made Takai roar involuntarily.

He used all his chakra to activate his body's cells to their maximum potential.

Driven by a massive amount of chakra, lightning crackled rapidly across his body, and even a trace of char appeared on his skin.

Even so, he still couldn't withstand the attack of the four water dragons.

The water dragon created a layer of mist after colliding with Takai.

When the smoke cleared, Takai was already lying on the water.

The two Cloud Village ninjas behind him were also affected by the aftershocks of the water dragon, and their fates were unknown.

But judging from the current state, he is probably dead.

Watanabe Toru flicked his wrist, and two kunai flew toward the heads of the two Cloud Village ninjas.

With a hiss, the kunai pierced their skulls.

Watanabe Tetsu slowly walked forward, looking at Takai, who was still convulsing and whose body was charred.

"Why...?"

Watanabe Toru smiled.

He knew the other person was asking why he wasn't afraid of their threats.

Killing them would threaten the Hidden Cloud Village with war against the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Because I was never a Konoha ninja."

Takai understood.

He understood at the last moment.

Watanabe Toru was not a pursuer from Konoha at all.

And his so-called "apprentice," that orange-haired kid.

Was it because he wanted to kill that orange-haired kid that the other party made a move?

Takai forced a decent smile.

Perhaps, if he hadn't thought about killing those two boys, he could have returned to Kumogakure alive.

S-rank missions are really difficult.

This was Takai's final thought.

Watanabe Tetsu took out a kunai and, just like Takai did to Yahiko, stabbed the opponent with it.

However, his movements were much gentler.

"Pfft."

The kunai pierced Takai's neck.

Blood flowed from his neck, staining the nearby water crimson.

ended.

But in that instant, twelve figures appeared in unison between Watanabe Tetsu and Takai.

Animal masks and white vests clearly identify them.

"The Anbu?"

"Lord Watanabe, we are an ANBU squad from Konoha Village. These three Kumogakure ninja are our targets."

The squad leader stepped forward and explained to Watanabe Tetsuya.

Watanabe Tetsu smiled upon hearing this explanation.

"so what?"

"We need to collect his body for examination."

For the Anbu, collecting the corpses of enemy village ninjas is also a very important task.

Konoha possesses ninjutsu capable of probing the memories of the dead; obtaining the corpses of enemy village ninjas helps them uncover more spies from those villages.

"More than that, I'm curious about..."

"You've been here the whole time, so why haven't you come out?"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere changed instantly.

The squad leader frowned.

Did he know we were around?

They had clearly concealed their presence; even a Cloud Village ninja of Jonin level didn't detect them...

How did he discover it?

Sensory ninjutsu?

"Lord Watanabe, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"No need to pretend anymore."

Watanabe Toru waved his hand dismissively.

"Using me as a thug will cost you money."

"Of course, someone has already paid for it."

Having said that, Watanabe Tetsu didn't bother arguing with them anymore and left in a flash.

The dark force captain, who remained in place, had a solemn look in his eyes.

Seeing Yahiko and Watanabe Tetsu's performance tonight, he suddenly had a strange thought.

In this operation, they might end up benefiting others instead.
