"Let's hurry up and go. I'm afraid Lord Yagura can't handle Osamu alone!" Ao said, his body was already nearing its limit.

"Hey, junior, you take Lord Ao to a safe place first. Raiga and I will go help Lord Mizukage!" Juzo Biwa tilted his head and ordered Zabuza.

He was stunned. Zabuza calmly walked up to him, grabbed the guillotine that Zabuza was carrying on his shoulder, and carried it on his own shoulder.

"Momochi Zabuza, what are you doing? This is not the time for infighting!" Kizo Biwa shouted, reaching out to take back his sword.

"Senior, give up. Among us, besides Lord Ao, you are the most seriously injured. You should just hang in there and take Lord Ao to a safe place. I will keep the Executioner's Blade for you for now. I will return it to you after this incident is over. I will use my own abilities to get my hands on the Executioner's Blade!" Zabuza took off his bandage mask, revealing a smile.

“You…” Hibiki Juzo frowned.

"Juzo, just listen to Zabuza. Your injuries are indeed quite serious. You should go and get them properly bandaged up. Even if you go to help the Mizukage now, you'll only be a hindrance!" Although Raiga Kurosuki wasn't on very good terms with him, he was still a sensible person when it came to the bigger picture.

Not only Kurosuki Raiga, but even Ao agreed.

"Fine!" Juzo Biwa grabbed Zabuza's collar and said coldly, "Junior, if I find out that you dare to take a single step back during this mission, I, Juzo Biwa, will kill you even if it means dragging this frail body around!"

Seeing this, Zabuza smiled, slapped away Juzo's hand, and laughed, "Senior, do you think I would back down? Don't forget who I am? I'm a demon!"

"Hmph, that's for the best!"

Pipa Juzo snorted coldly, then came to Qing's side, helped him up, and the four of them walked outside.

Although they didn't make much of a commotion, the two "corpses" outside the door were left unattended, which led to the change of shift members discovering them and gathering a number of ninjas to block their path.

As soon as they stepped out of the iron gate, they were greeted by a densely packed Mist Shadow Squad.

"Heh, they really think highly of us, welcoming us with such a grand procession as soon as we come out!" Zabuza took a step forward, his eyes narrowing, and was about to rush forward when he was stopped by Ao and Juzo Biwa.

"You should save your energy to help Lord Mizukage. Leave these lackeys to us two useless people!" Qing smiled slightly. Don't be fooled by his usual aloofness; his inner passion is no less than that of these juniors.

"Lord Ao, your injuries..." Zabuza and Raiga looked at Ao with concern. Although his injuries were not fatal, small injuries accumulated over time and were not much less serious than fatal ones.

Seeing their expressions, Qing knew he was being underestimated by these two juniors. He immediately removed the eyepatch covering his right eye, revealing his Byakugan, and shouted loudly, "I am Qing, a veteran of many Shinobi World Wars. Don't underestimate me!"

A ring of blue water was wrapped around his hands, swirling around his palms like a flexible and ever-changing water dragon.

"Water Release: Azure Dragon Palm!"

With a swift movement, Ao charged into the crowd, his hands moving rapidly, striking the group of Mist Ninjas. Each strike knocked an enemy to the ground, a testament to his enduring strength and skill, like an old man pushing a cart.

Qing's peak strength was at the Shadow level, and even with such severe injuries, his strength was still far greater than these lackeys.

"Water Release: Azure Dragon Piercing Hand!"

The water dragon wrapped around his palm surged towards his index and middle fingers, striking one Mist Ninja after another. They stood frozen in place, their faces showing anxiety.

Although it's called Azure Dragon Piercing Hand, the damage is no different from Azure Dragon Palm. The only difference is that this move requires the use of the Byakugan's ability to strike the enemy's pressure points, killing them directly or striking their pressure points. He spent more than ten years imitating the Hyuga clan to master this pressure point technique.

"You should be grateful that you are from Kirigakure, ninjas under the command of the Mizukage, otherwise you wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow!" Ao said coldly, looking at the Kirigakure ninjas lying in front of him.

His decision not to kill wasn't out of soft-heartedness, but mainly because Kirigakure could no longer withstand such a devastating blow. Although there were less than a hundred ninjas left, they were still a vital force for Kirigakure. If they were all killed, Kirigakure would suffer heavy losses, and it would take at least a decade to recover. It was better to spare their lives for the sake of future development.

brush!

A streak of light flashed past Ao, and a head, spraying blood, rolled to the ground. Pipa Juzo, wielding two samurai swords of different sizes, beheaded a Kirigakure ninja.

He had snatched these two swords from the group of Mist Ninja, since his Executioner's Blade had fallen into Zabuza's hands, leaving him with only these blades that weren't even worthy of being called ninja swords.

"Lord Qing, stop talking nonsense. Let's kill all these people who can't tell right from wrong!" Pipa Juzo licked the blood off the tip of his knife, an excited expression on his face.

"Don't cause too much bloodshed. After all, they are still ninjas from our Hidden Mist Village!" Ao said in a deep voice.

"Alright, alright, I'll knock them out, okay?" Pipa Juzo was exasperated by Ao's attitude. If it were him, he would have just grabbed his knife and attacked without a second thought. Why bother with all this?

Although he verbally said he would kill them all, he still listened to Qing's orders and obediently knocked the ninjas unconscious.

"Hey, juniors, you'd better get out of here right now. Lord Qing and I will find a safe place to heal our wounds. If we don't hurry, I'm afraid Lord Mizukage will lose to that shameless bastard, Chihiro!" Juzo Biwa shouted.

Zabuza and Raiga Kurosuki exchanged a nod, then rushed into the crowd, scattered them, and headed towards the exit of the underground base.

"Alright, Lord Qing, let's hurry up and finish this. You'll really die if you lose any more blood!" Pipa Juzo said with a light laugh.

"Mm." Qing nodded silently, and her hands moved a third faster.

If they hadn't been injured, these Mist Ninja wouldn't have been a match for them. But now they were all seriously injured, especially Ao. Don't be fooled by how fiercely he's fighting now; if the battle ends, he'll be the first to collapse!

"Water Release: Twin Dragon Explosion!"

With a quick clench of his fists, two enormous water dragon bullets instantly gathered at his sides. "Tch, not even half the power of the usual ones. Oh well, that's fine!" Under Biwa Juzo's control, the two water dragons charged towards the Mist Ninja. The water dragons opened their blood-red maws and bit several Mist Ninja directly, their bodies swelling up.

boom!!

With a loud bang, the two water dragons exploded, and countless water spikes shot out from the exploded water dragons, directly injuring most of the mist ninjas.

Just then, two water dragon heads formed on Qing's hands. "Water Release: Dance of Two Dragons!" He suddenly rushed forward, his hands rapidly striking the bodies of those hit by the water spikes, each palm landing on their pressure points.

"Run!!" Ao leaped past the other Mist Ninjas and arrived at the exit, shouting at Juzo Biwa.

"understand!"

Pipa Juzo grinned and slammed his hands on the ground: "Water Release: Water Wall!!"

A massive wall of water completely blocked the passage, and the remaining Mist Ninjas who still had fighting power immediately began to pound on the water wall.

Ao was also stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Juzo, what are you doing?! Are you out of your mind?!"

"Hehe!" Pipa Juzo scratched the back of his head and smiled smugly: "Lord Ao, it's going to be a bit difficult for the two of us to escape, so you should run first, I'll be right behind you!"

“You…” Qing’s eye rolled back wide.

With a flick of his twin swords, Kirigakure cut down several Mist Ninja, shouting, "Lord Ao, run! If you wait any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. You don't want to die with me, do you? I advise you not to do that, Lord Yagura... no, Kirigakure needs you. You must survive!"

"Kirigakure needs you too!!" Ao slammed his fist into the water wall, but was knocked back several steps by the recoil, his eyes widening in shock: "You wouldn't...!"

"Of course!" Juzo Biwa kicked a Kirigakure ninja away.

This Water Wall technique is made up of all his chakra, and with his own improvements, its defensive capabilities are much stronger than ordinary Water Wall techniques. Unfortunately, due to his current physical condition, he can never reach his peak condition, but it is still enough to stop these Mist Ninja and Ao!

"Don't waste my efforts, hurry up and get out of here. The water barrier won't hold for long. Oh, right!" Kizo Biwa leaned against the water barrier, turned his head, and smiled, "Tell my juniors..."

He paused, licking his lips, and said, "Tell him that if the Executioner's Blade loses its reputation, I will come back from hell to take it back!"

Looking at the loquat Juzo leaning against the water wall, Ao silently nodded, a tear falling from the corner of her eye, and turned to run outside.

The people in the passage had been wiped out during Zabuza and Raiga Kurosuki's breakout, and there was no one to stop them, so they could go straight through!

A faint light appeared a few meters in front of Qing. He sped away, glanced at the cave leading underground behind him, gritted his teeth, and quickly left...

Chapter 224 Battle against the Fourth Raikage, A

"Raiga-senpai, have you found it?" Zabuza approached Raiga Kurosuki and asked in a low voice.

Kurozuki Raiga shook his head: "No." His eyes darted around, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Previously, they hoped Yagura would appear in the public eye sooner to overturn Osamu's conspiracy, but now...

They didn't think that way. Everything Jibo did was for revenge. If Yagura appeared at this time, it would be a fatal blow to them and even Kirigakure!

Because they knew that Osamu would do anything to kill Yagura, even if it meant mutual destruction!

The poor fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless!

Osamu is the kind of crazy person who doesn't care about his life. If Yagura had appeared at this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Hopefully we can find him before the adults act!" Raiga Kurosuki said anxiously, then pointed east: "Zabuza, you go look over there, I'll stay here!"

"Yes!"

Zabuza turned around and strode off in the east.

At this moment, Zhibo returned to the rooftop of the Water Shadow Building, apologized to the other four Shadows one by one, and then stood in front of the railing, loudly reciting his standard inaugural address.

Not only was Zabuza anxious, but he was anxious too!

He worried that Yagura might back down at the crucial moment and fail to show up, thus disrupting his plans.

"Yagura, where the hell are you?!" Haruhiro was anxious, but he waved to the people of Kirigakure below with a gentle smile on his face.

What did you just do?

"I didn't do anything, I've been sitting here the whole time!"

While everyone was talking, Luo Sha whispered a question to Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye, of course, did not tell Luo Sha the truth.

Although they have formed an alliance, it doesn't mean they can truly be as open and honest as "brother villages." Even brothers sometimes keep secrets from each other.

"Don't lie to me. Although I don't know what methods you used to leave here, I'm sure you have some ulterior motive!" Luo Sha said in a deep voice, feeling very dissatisfied with Zhang Ye at this moment.

Zhang Ye shrugged in response: "What can I do? If it were something important, would I not tell you? Honestly, you don't trust me at all, it really breaks my heart!"

“You…” Luo Sha frowned, “Never mind, I won’t ask anymore!”

He knew that no matter how he asked, Zhang Ye would dodge the question and move on from the matter. He also believed that he would find out everything that Zhang Ye was hiding from him in the near future, or even today!

Jibo delivered a long and passionate speech, which can be summarized as "I will make Kirigakure stronger and more prosperous!"

After all, Zhang Ye had said something similar.

"They're here!" Zhang Ye's lips curled up as he looked at a figure in the distance. Not only him, but everyone else on the Water Shadow Building also saw it.

"Isn't this Yagura? Isn't he dead?" Onoki frowned.

"It's finally starting!" the Fourth Raikage, Ai, murmured. A strange light appeared in his eyes as he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ye's location, his fists clenched tightly.

"You've finally arrived!!"

Zhibo's gentle expression vanished, replaced by a contradictory mix of joy and anger.

"Today, I will ensure you never leave alive!!"

Those with sharp eyes below also noticed the change in Zhibo's face, and one by one they turned their heads to look in the direction Zhibo was looking.

An orange-red figure with three tails swaying behind it, and a black-purple chakra ball in its mouth.

"Yagura? How is this traitor still alive?"

"How is this possible? Didn't the Mizukage say that Yagura was already killed by him?"

"What are you guys focusing on? That's a Tailed Beast Ball! What are you all standing here like idiots? Do you want to die?!"

Finally, someone who understands has spoken up!

The destructive power of the Tailed Beasts was known not only to the other four ninja villages, but also to the people of Kirigakure. After all, the Three-Tails had gone out of control many times before, and each time it was a disaster.
