The Hidden Mist Village was defeated.
The Feathered Robe Clan suffered heavy losses.
Who is to blame for all of this? It is Uchiha Hakumoku.
"A clown like you dares to bark here?" Esdeath, disgusted by these fools, gently raised her right hand, her fingers slightly spread.
Ice Spike Combo!
A huge wave of ice spikes surged forward like a tide.
Meanwhile, the ninjas from Kirigakure, such as Shara and other members of the Snow Clan, quickly formed hand seals to use Ice Release: Ice Wall to defend themselves. In addition, the ANBU and other ninja clans quickly formed hand seals to attack with Water Release.
Water escape water dragon bullet technique!
A dozen or so Hidden Mist ninjas unleashed their power, converging into numerous water dragons—at least a dozen in total—which rushed towards Esdeath with all their might.
Seeing this, Esdeath was about to unleash her power when Irene struck first, raising one hand and pointing it forward, whispering, "High-level additional magic: Heat Shock!"
A huge ball of light appeared instantly, swallowing up the rushing water dragon without giving the Hidden Mist side any time to react, and then another spell was cast.
Holy Beam Stream!
The ball of light instantly unleashed multiple beams of light, instantly slicing through more than a dozen Hidden Mist ninjas. Their bodies were torn to pieces, none intact, their deaths gruesome.
Chapter 371 Don't be pessimistic, trust me!
Esdeath launched the first attack, while Irene followed up with a counterattack, killing and wounding more than ten people.
In just one exchange, the elite force of a hundred men from the Hidden Mist Village had already suffered more than ten casualties. This battle can be described as a complete defeat.
"asshole!"
The shark gritted its teeth.
Seeing this, Hagoromo Yamonto became even more excited, shouting, "Haha, that's wonderful, that's wonderful~!"
Those of his own Feathered Clan began to roar in unison.
Clearly, the fighting spirit of the Feathered Robe Clan is continuously increasing.
Wu: "..."
What a psychopath.
The Feathered Robe Clan is sick.
The person in charge of this operation by the Hidden Mist Anbu has clearly gained a deep understanding of the Feathered Robe Clan. Their decisive action against a powerful enemy is a good thing.
A formidable opponent, you've taken the field; everyone's satisfied.
But isn't something a little... abnormal?
Do you even have a brain?
You're brainless!
Wu knew very well how terrifying a brainless person could be; he was terrified of these mentally ill individuals, but the problem was, that's just how they were...
Sigh, what should I do?
"The Feathered Robe Clan is brainless."
Upon seeing the live footage transmitted by the combat doll, Onoki couldn't contain his anger and immediately started cursing.
Can't you be normal?
Seriously, they have absolutely no brains.
"The people of Kirigakure are quite unique!" Losford remarked thoughtfully.
The Feathered Robe Clan can still be utilized, but judging from the current situation...
Yes, someone in Kirigakure is intentionally sending this group away.
He saw through the essence of the problem at a glance.
Then Onoki must know that too.
The Feathered Robe Clan, excellent material.
Is it possible to obtain it?
As a member of the Hidden Cloud Village, Losford inevitably possessed the genes of a bandit, so he was eager to take advantage of the situation and genuinely intended to seize it.
"However, these two women are very strong."
Of course, Losford was even more amazed by the strength of Irene and Esdeath. Uchiha Hakuma hadn't even made a move, yet the two women under his command had already displayed extraordinary power...
Yes, definitely Jonin level... oh, no, Kage level.
"These two women are not easy to deal with. I have already fought them. That woman named Irene easily defeated the Jinchuriki of my Iwagakure. The two Tailed Beasts are no match for her."
When Irene is mentioned, Onoki is extremely wary, while Esdeath is completely ignored.
Losford: "..."
Is it that awesome?
If you put it that way, I have to be careful.
After pondering for a moment, Losford slowly asked, "Tsuchikage, do you think these two are difficult to deal with?"
"That Esdeath possesses this freezing ability, which is different from the so-called Ice Release. I didn't see her perform any hand seals. This ability doesn't seem like the power of Ice Release. Moreover, the key is that her taijutsu is a bit overpowered, comparable to a tailed beast."
Onoki had a very high opinion of Esdeath, but he didn't know how good Irene's physical skills were. However, if he knew that Irene was a Dragon Queen who had been tempered and refined through battles with dragons, he wouldn't have any opinion at all.
After all, Irene is already invincible when it comes to physical strength. Given that everyone in the ninja world is fragile, how can she possibly fight against her?
Losford's expression was grave; he truly didn't know what to say.
Why are all the enemies so difficult to deal with?
Isn't there anything easy to deal with?
He was very irritable.
"Tsuchikage, what do you think we'll gain from this operation?"
We can't just collect data; we have to achieve a certain purpose, right?
reward?
I dare not even think about it now.
As for Onoki, he dared not say he had gained anything; the situation was not very optimistic. The enemy's momentum was overwhelming them, which was really difficult to handle.
"A harvest is probably going to be very difficult."
Onoki didn't think so; he was overthinking it. The possibility was truly zero.
"We can't come away empty-handed; at the very least, we must prevent Uchiha Hakubaki from succeeding." Onoki disagreed, but Losford was fixated on this.
You really have a vivid imagination.
But I must say that this is very difficult to do.
No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely to happen.
Although Losford really wanted to, Onoki thought it was impossible.
"You should probably give up, Raikage. Those combat puppets alone can't handle this situation, and as for the Six-Tails? I think that's even more impossible."
Who can we rely on?
Our combat dummy is no good.
As for the Six-Tails, it was just a freebie. And those Kirigakure ninjas, though numerous and powerful, including the so-called bloodline clans, what use were they?
As I said before, if you can't beat them, you can't beat them.
Losford: "..."
Don't be so pessimistic.
Shouldn't we still have to believe?
In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with it.
"Trust is actually quite important; you can't not trust them." Losford wasn't really sure himself, but at this point he had to stick to what he said.
change?
That's not possible.
To change is a sign of cowardice.
He couldn't back down, and besides, there was no harm in persisting under these circumstances, so Losford believed that he could stick to this view.
"Raikage, I understand your thoughts. You want to do something to buy us time and hinder Konoha's progress, or Uchiha Hakubaki's progress."
Onoki understood why Losford was so eager: he feared that Uchiha Hakumaki would launch a full-scale attack, not just this small skirmish.
However, no matter how clear it is, it cannot change the reality that we can hardly fight against it; that is the fact.
"Is it really that difficult?" Losford couldn't help but ask. He was under a lot of pressure because he couldn't vent his emotions. Was there really no way to deal with it? Was Uchiha Hakubaki invincible?
Onoki shrugged and countered, "Then tell me, what can so few people do? Those combat puppets were originally just for collecting data and seeing how effective they were against Uchiha Hakubaki..."
To put it bluntly, it's just a test. Tell me, what can it do?
I understand how you feel, but there's nothing I can do.
There's really nothing we can do about it.
“Alright, Lord Tsuchikage, I admit I was being a little too hasty.” Losford took a deep breath, indicating that he had been too anxious.
Onoki said calmly, "It's alright, I understand his impatience. But whatever Uchiha Hakumo's purpose may be, based on his actions, we can conclude that his target is the Tailed Beasts, and he wants to collect all nine of them."
Losford pondered for a moment, then thought of the Seven-Tails of Takigakure and couldn't help but frown as he asked, "If that's the case, what about the Seven-Tails? Why not just leave the Seven-Tails alone? That should be easier, right?"
If you're talking about capturing tailed beasts, wouldn't the Seven-Tails of Takigakure be the easiest to capture?
That's strange, why isn't the Seven-Tails moving?
