I'm trying my best to persuade you!
Because this really carries huge risks.
But the problem is that Tsunade isn't listening to him right now. He has no say. He really doesn't know how this Uchiha youth can make Lady Tsunade obey so readily. Is it just because of his face?
Hyuga Reinin was very helpless.
And judging by this stance, are they really going to fight the Mizukage?
Tsunade was impatient, glaring at Hyuga Reinin, and said in a deep voice, "Obey orders and act accordingly. You need to go back and tell Uchiha Fugaku and the others what to do. The Kirigakure front-line base must be taken. We'll raid the Mizukage's main base. This is a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone, understand?"
Why are you so wishy-washy?
What I want is obedience, not your nonsense.
If I had known you were so long-windwinded, I wouldn't have chosen you for this mission. Any Hyuga clan ninja would have done. And now you're still babbling... Is this intentional?
"They're here. These should be Kirigakure's ships, and there are quite a few of them. Most likely, they're transporting Kirigakure's main force. The Third Mizukage should be on board. Take a look and see if he's there."
Shiraki made a discovery and immediately gave orders.
He saw ships appearing on the sea. He could see the first ship, and there were many more behind it. These should not be supply ships, but ships transporting Kirigakure ninja.
"Look!"
Tsunade commanded.
Hyuga Reinin was very helpless and could only comply.
"Lady Tsunade, they are indeed Kirigakure ninja, and judging by their chakra levels, the Third Mizukage is among them. That chakra is clearly incomparable to anyone else's."
"Lady Tsunade, I must say, there are indeed many Kirigakure personnel, at least over a hundred people, with about fifteen to twenty Jonin among them. This should be Kirigakure's elite unit, and there should be many Anbu ninja. The Mizukage's guards are certainly among them. I believe we shouldn't take the risk."
After stating what he saw, Hyuga Reinin advised Tsunade, hoping she wouldn't take any risks.
"No need. You all retreat. It will be hard to retreat later, and you're still bringing two Genin." Tsunade directly refused, reminding Hyuga Reinin to just take care of his Hyuga clan members.
You don't need to worry about other things.
Seeing this, Hyuga Reijin had no choice but to retreat.
He needed to get the message back as soon as possible, and then bring the main reinforcements. As for attacking the Hidden Mist's front-line outpost, that would definitely be arranged for someone else.
Lady Tsunade could not be lost, but the problem was that he could not change Lady Tsunade's will.
Of course, the main reason was that their ships were getting closer, and the Hidden Mist was not to be trifled with. Moreover, the Sensory Ninja couldn't just stand by, especially with Bai Mu and the others standing so openly on the cliff.
Could such an obvious target not be discovered?
That's impossible!
As Hyuga Reijin led his people to retreat, returning quickly to Konoha's front-line base camp, the Hidden Mist on the sea had already discovered Bai Mu and the others on the cliff.
"Mizukage-sama, it's Konoha Ninja!"
The Sensory Ninja on the ship immediately reported the situation.
"Attack! No matter who they are, kill them without mercy!" The Third Mizukage immediately ordered, demanding that they be killed at all costs, so that Konoha's people could not send the message back.
He came to the front line himself not to play a standoff, but to raid and kill Bai Mu.
The target: Uchiha Bai Mu!
This was the instruction given by Uchiha Madara.
Although the Third Mizukage's strength was decent, he was nothing compared to Uchiha Madara, so he had no idea that he had become a controlled puppet, still believing he was fighting for the Hidden Mist's interests.
But why kill Bai Mu?
Naturally, it was because the opponent had killed too many Hidden Mist people. The opponent was an outstanding talent of the Uchiha, too powerful, a great threat that had to be eliminated in advance.
With the Third Mizukage's order, Hidden Mist Ninja began to appear on the ships, many quickly forming hand signs.
On the sea, several Water Dragons leaped out, soared into the sky, and then attacked Lady Tsunade, Bai Mu, and the others on the cliff.
There were at least a dozen Water Dragons, with immense sound waves and an overbearing pressure.
However, Esdeath simply raised her hand, and the dozen or so ferocious Water Dragons were instantly frozen into Ice Dragons.
"What?"
On the three large ships, the Hidden Mist Ninja's expressions immediately changed.
Was there an Ice Release Ninja on the other side? And was this level of Ice Release Ninjutsu a bit exaggerated?
"Who exactly is it?" The Third Mizukage's face was grim. He really couldn't think of anyone. Within the Hidden Mist, there were Ninja clans with Ice Release Bloodline Limits, and Ice Release Ninjutsu also existed in the Hidden Mist Village, but this level of Ninjutsu could only be rivaled by the power of a Bloodline Limit.
Or rather, it might not even be enough to contend with it. Where did Konoha get an Ice Release Ninja of this level?
"Mizukage-sama, the situation is a bit off now. This level of Ice Release Ninjutsu couldn't possibly be from Konoha Ninja, could it? Is there something wrong here?"
Biwa Jūzō, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, stepped forward and spoke.
Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in the Hidden Mist Village, there wasn't just Biwa Jūzō, but also Kurotsuchi Raiga. As for Suikazan Fuguki, he stayed in the Village and didn't come.
Ever since Maito Dai kicked four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to their deaths, the remaining three—Biwa Jūzō, Kurotsuchi Raiga, and Suikazan Fuguki—had long lost their former prestige and arrogance.
Among them, Suikazan Fuguki became a bully, tormenting those weaker than him, and naturally avoiding those stronger.
Therefore, for this operation, he chose to stay in the rear, saying that he could play a greater role by guarding the Village.
As for what role?
Anyway, there was one. If asked, just don't bother.
"It's Princess Tsunade! Konoha's Princess Tsunade is here!" At this moment, a Hidden Mist Anbu discovered Tsunade and immediately shouted.
"Tsunade?"
The Third Mizukage's heart jolted upon hearing this.
If it was Tsunade, then it must be someone from Konoha, but the problem was, who from Konoha could possess this level of Ice Release Ninjutsu? And was this a Bloodline Limit?
"If it's Tsunade, just kill her. I'll kill her. No one is to steal this credit from me." Kurotsuchi Raiga was very confident, believing he could take down Tsunade.
As for being brutally beaten by a Konoha Genin?
That didn't matter. Maito Dai was a madman, but Tsunade wasn't. Moreover, she had left Konoha for many years and was rumored to have been wandering outside, so her strength was questionable.
Besides, she was a woman, how strong could she be?
He raised his twin swords and shouted, "Lightning Release: Lightning Fang!"
Lightning light surged, and a wide area of electricity covered the cliff, but most of the lightning rushed towards Tsunade at an astonishing speed.
"Ice Flower (Defense Shield)!"
Alice Lize whispered.
Ice emerged from the air, blocking all incoming lightning.
Esdeath froze the Water Dragons, and Alice Lize blocked the lightning, but Tsunade did nothing and couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, am I not supposed to do anything?"
What are you two doing?
You two are doing everything. I'm not allowed to do anything, right?
