Chapter 595 Dead?
"Hokage-sama, why do you want to stop me?"
Hoshigaki Kisame, who had released his Sage Mode and Guardian of Alola Jutsu, looked innocently at Namikaze Minato, who had just arrived and looked a little unhappy.
Hoshigaki Kisame could roughly guess why this Hokage came so hurriedly.
He simply wanted to capture the members of the Zero Organization by Konoha before the maintenance force took action to obtain more information.
This can be seen from the manpower and material resources that Konoha Village has invested in dealing with the Zero Organization in the past two years, and the extent of the hatred this Hokage has for them.
However, before the departure of this operation, Kaito gave Hoshigaki Kisame the order to kill as soon as possible to avoid more trouble, and did not ask to leave any survivors.
In this matter, Hoshigaki Kisame certainly attaches more importance to the decision of his own boss.
Moreover, Hoshigaki Kisame also vaguely knew that there seemed to be additional sources of intelligence information on the side of his own Mizukage, so he was even more ruthless when he took action before.
However, the complete nine-tailed beast form and the control that Namikaze Minato showed just now still made Hoshigaki Kisame quite concerned.
So at least on the surface, he still pretended to have no choice but to kill the enemy.
'He has become a perfect Jinchūriki. This information must be notified to Doctor Kaito.'
Although he thought so in his mind, Hoshigaki Kisame's shark face showed no other thoughts.
On the other hand, Namikaze Minato, looking at the humble and polite Hoshigaki Kisame in front of him, didn't know what to say to him at this time.
The Maintenance Force was able to track this place through the movement trajectory of the immortal duo, and Konoha, which had previously experienced the encirclement and suppression of these two people, could naturally do the same.
However, in the process of finally locking on the enemy, Konoha was still a little slower than the Maintenance Force.
If it weren't for the excessive noise caused by the battle between Hoshigaki Kisame and Mōryō, the intelligence personnel of Konoha might have spent some time finding this place.
After noticing the movement here, Namikaze Minato immediately abandoned the main force and rushed to the scene with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
However, he did not expect that even so, he was still a little late in the end.
The current situation is that Konoha's previous "private" action led to the successful escape of the enemy.
On the contrary, although the maintenance force did not leave any survivors, it did achieve actual results.
Even if Namikaze Minato had some complaints in his heart, it was really difficult to criticize anything.
However, after a moment of hesitation, Namikaze Minato still asked reluctantly.
"The giant puppet just now should be the demon of the Land of Demon, right? With your strength Kisame-sama, is there no chance to leave any survivors?"
Hoshigaki Kisame's face immediately changed a little when he heard this.
Namikaze Minato originally wanted to say that since Kisame could deal with the Demon while still freeing his hands to kill Kakuzu who wanted to escape.
Does that mean he still has some strength left in the battle against Mōryō?
However, after asking this question, Namikaze Minato also realized that there seemed to be some blame in his tone, and he hurriedly explained.
"Sorry, Kisame-san."
However, Namikaze Minato was stopped by Hoshigaki Kisame as soon as he opened his mouth.
The change in Kisame Hoshigaki's face was not because of Namikaze Minato's attitude, but…
"I'm not sure whether the monster called Mōryō is really dead."
While speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki also began to recall the strange changes in the giant puppet during the final stage of the battle.
In the previous battle, although Hoshigaki Kisame had always had the upper hand, the opponent's undead puppet seemed to be able to revive indefinitely.
So in fact, all he could do was to keep smashing the puppet to suppress the opponent's regeneration.
Originally, Hoshigaki Kisame was thinking that after Pain was free, he would use the sealing technique to help him completely destroy Mōryō.
However, who would have thought that the zero-tailed giant python wrapped around the giant puppet that had been fighting with him suddenly merged into the puppet's body.
The puppet's scarlet eyes also dimmed, and then, even the previous recovery ability of the undead seemed to disappear completely.
Hoshigaki Kisame completely defeated the giant puppet in just a few moves.
In connection with the fact that Mōryō itself seemed to be a demon of the dark spirit type, Hoshigaki Kisame could hardly determine whether the opponent had run out of energy and lost the ability to regenerate.
Or did he just abandon his outer shell when the situation got bad, and his 'real body' had already escaped alone.
Facing Hoshigaki Kisame's answer, Namikaze Minato's face was also not very good.
Although he didn't want to see the members of the Zero Organization being killed directly by the other party, that was also because he wanted to leave them alive to obtain more information.
Compared to the other party being able to escape again, Namikaze Minato felt that it was better for these rats in the shadows to die.
However, things have come to this point, and it seems a bit too much to say anything more.
Just when Namikaze Minato was about to say goodbye and leave.
A white-haired figure rushed from a distance and rushed to Namikaze Minato's side.
"Minato-sensei, you are too far away from me, what if..."
Looking at Hatake Kakashi who hurried over, Namikaze Minato gently shook his head and comforted him.
"It's all right... From now on, it probably won't be necessary anymore."
Hoshigaki Kisame, who was standing aside, saw that the two were hesitant, and frowned thoughtfully for a while.
However, dozens of Konoha ninjas appeared quickly, interrupting Hoshigaki Kisame's thinking.
Namikaze Minato also spoke to Hoshigaki Kisame at the right time.
"Kisame-san, since the battle here is over, we will not stay any longer."
"But if there is a battle against Zero Organization next time, the Maintenance Force may consider sharing the information with Konoha, and we are willing to provide additional personnel support."
Facing Namikaze Minato's proposal, Hoshigaki Kisame just shook his head slightly.
"Hokage-sama, I will be replaced as the Maintenance Force commander soon. You should communicate these matters with the new commander-in-chief."
The two were not talkative people, and there was nothing else to talk about at the moment, so they immediately prepared to move on and lead the team back.
However, at this moment, two ninja eagles flew through the air at a very fast speed, and fell into the hands of Hoshigaki Kisame and Namikaze Minato respectively.
The two looked at each other and immediately realized that there might be some urgent information, so they immediately took off the intelligence scrolls on the feet of the ninja eagles and opened them to check.
After seeing this, the two of them all looked very different.
"What! Fugaku is dead?!" x2
