Chapter 7: Chapter 7 » Mei Wants To Be In The Battlefield! The Ice God Arrived!
The next day, early morning.
In front of Kirigakure's Anbu Department, a sense of deadly seriousness filled the air. In the cyan square below, hundreds of Anbu ninjas from Kirigakure were fully equipped and ready to go.
They had all been baptized on the battlefield. Deep in everyone's eyes, there was a cold and fierce killing intent.
The three people in the lead had a killing intent and aura that far exceeded all the assassination troops behind them.
Kisame Hoshigaki, Fuguki Suikazan, and Mangetsu Hozuki!
Due to Yusuke's previous action of releasing the genjutsu controlling the Mizukage, the imagined Bloody Mist did not take place in Kirigakure. The current Mist Village, though not completely united, had no issue with cohesion at the moment.
On top of that, his superior performance on the battlefield and his unprecedentedly powerful abilities had completely won over all the Kirigakure ninjas!
Even the Anbu were aware that the current Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was no match for Yusuke.
With such a powerful captain, how could everyone not follow him?
Before long, Yusuke, along with Mei, appeared on the leader's platform in the square. He slowly scanned the crowd.
Just a mere glance made hundreds of elite assassin ninjas below feel a chill down their spines! Is this the oppressive aura of the strongest leader of Kirigakure's Anbu?
Everyone's eyes were on him.
"We received some information yesterday. A group of nearly a thousand ninja troops from Konoha is advancing towards a canyon at the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire. Our mission is straightforward and clear: Kill all the enemies using any means necessary!" Yusuke said loudly. Then, he nodded towards Mei beside him.
She pursed her lips and took out several storage scrolls from her ninja tool pouch. She then stepped forward and handed them to Kisame Hoshigaki, Raiga Kurosuki, and Mangetsu Hozuki.
These three were the captains of Kiri's Anbu. Each of them was incredibly powerful!
"There are two types of potions here. The green potion instantly replenishes your depleted chakra. The blue potion restores your stamina and enhances your physical constitution. This time, on the battlefield, we will defeat the enemy! I have only one request: Everyone, come back with me... alive!!"
As soon as he said this, all members of the Mist Shadow Assassination Division in the bluestone square clenched their fists! Loud voices continually echoed!
"For Lord Yusuke, we will offer our hearts, at all costs!"
"At all costs! At all costs!!"
Yusuke looked at everyone below and then shouted, "Kisame! Raiga! Mangetsu!"
"Here!!" The three shouted in unison!
"Lead the troops! Depart immediately!" He quickly commanded!
"Yes!!"
Soon, Kiri's Anbu squad set off in a mighty formation! Over five hundred elite ninjas were heading towards the battlefield!
At this moment, Yusuke looked at Mei beside him. On her smooth neck, a hickey was quite apparent, even though she tried to hide it. Maybe he had been a bit rough with her on her first time? Well, anyway, it was good for him.
"Mei, if you're not feeling well, you can rest in the village. I'll be back soon, okay?" He gently approached her and held her by the waist, his hand passing over the mark to show his concern.
"No way!" She pouted with determination, "I want to be with you all the time... A-And, I finally made up my mind after last night's t-training..." Thinking about the scene of developing her "abilities" after awakening it last night, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
At the same time. She also stared at Yusuke with some resentment. He was very rough with her! Even when she begged him to go slowly, it seemed like he wanted to devour her!
"Alright then." Yusuke felt her resentful gaze, but held back from laughing at it.
As a quick compensation, he brushed her lips before taking a kiss. Feeling how she melted in his arms and even took the initiative to seek out his tongue, he already knew that her forgiveness had arrived. Now it was just a matter of solidifying it through the night even more.
After they separated, reluctantly for Mei, they followed the main force together, heading towards the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
At the border, in a picturesque canyon.
Amidst the jungle, one could clearly see rows of densely packed figures probing deeper into the canyon. They were the advance troops of Konoha!
After mapping out the route, the main army could advance directly and fully occupy the canyon outpost. Securing this location would allow them to contain nearly seventy percent of Kirigakure's ninjas, giving Konoha greater leverage on the battlefield.
Today's weather was unusually gloomy. It seemed like a storm could break out at any moment!
Byakugan!
In the advance troops of Konoha, a member of the Hyuga clan activated his Byakugan.
"Wait!! Up ahead... there's someone!! And it's a large group of ninjas!" Upon seeing this, the Hyuga clan member's pupils suddenly contracted.
In his eyes, he saw a group of ninjas with overflowing chakra rapidly charging in their direction.
Especially the person leading them. The amount of chakra stored within him completely dwarfed the hundreds of ninjas behind him. Moreover, there was a sense of endless coldness...
"It's Yusuke Kamizuki of Kirigakure!! The Ice God of the Battlefield!! It's him!!!" The member of the Hyuga clan seemed to realize something, and his eyes filled with intense fear!
They had not forgotten the figure that resembled the descent of an ice god, the scene where hundreds of their ninjas were instantly frozen and killed.
It was because of that battle that Yusuke's name as the Ice God was firmly established!
"Is it too late to run now...?"
Just as these vanguard troops were thinking of retreating, the assassination squad of Mangetsu Hozuki appeared behind them.
Hidden Mist: Assassination Technique!
The slaughter had begun!!
