"Snap! Snap!"...
With the unhurried footsteps, the people within the Mitai family noticed the scene outside the gate!
But when they saw Kyōka Suigetsu in Sosuke's hand, they knew that their fate had already been decided!
"Snick!"
"Bang!"
As Sosuke walked slowly forward, the people around them began to turn on each other!
When they fell to the ground, their faces still bore expressions of disbelief!
They couldn't believe that their once trusted comrades would suddenly attack them!
But in the eyes of each attacker, they couldn't believe that their former dependable friends had colluded with enemy ninjas and even attacked them!
In their minds, they were only defending themselves!
Under the influence of Kyōka Suigetsu, they turned on each other due to the illusions they saw!
Sosuke's face showed no expression as he continued walking toward the Mitai family's residence.
Though Saki and Shino were filled with shock, they closely followed him.
.......
After a while, almost no one from the Mitai family was left alive!
The mansion, which should have been celebrating, was now a scene of massacre!
At this moment...
Inside the mansion.
Sosuke gently turned his head and spoke softly to the shocked Shino, "Shino, it's time for you to take action. Remember not to leave any traces of our involvement."
Hearing Sosuke's words, Shino turned his head abruptly to look at him, his voice trembling, "Are... are you sure about this!?"
Sosuke remained expressionless.
"Now that it has already begun, what's the use of asking such questions? Or perhaps, Shino, does your heart still carry unnecessary kindness, pitying these dead people?"
With a glance, Sosuke looked at him indifferently.
Feeling cold sweat on his back, Shino responded, "N-No, it was my impertinence..."
Hearing his response, Sosuke turned away and said softly, "Then let's follow the plan we set earlier. I don't want Konoha to suspect anything. I'll leave it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking!
A figure appeared suddenly in front of the three of them!
"How dare you attack the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire!? are you insane!!!"
A rough-looking man with a cold gaze stared at them.
He wore a waistband with the word "Fire," and from his attire, one could deduce that he was one of the Land of Fire's Twelve Guardian Ninja!
Hearing the man's words, Sosuke turned to look at him, a faint smile on his lips, "Oh... one of the Land of Fire's Twelve Guardian Ninja?"
"Are you the leader of these ninjas!? Who are you people?"
The man stared fixedly at Sosuke, his expression wary as he asked.
Just now, he observed the surroundings!
He found that there were no survivors left in the Daimyo's mansion!
His face turned grim!
Although the three in front of him appeared to be just teenagers, he didn't dare to take them lightly!
Years of being a ninja taught him not to underestimate any opponent!
Moreover!
The three before him had slaughtered the entire Daimyo's mansion in a short period! They couldn't be underestimated!
Hearing the man's inquiry, Sosuke's eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement as he replied, "Do you think we would answer such straightforward questions?"
His figure moved abruptly!
Seizing this opportunity!
The words spoken earlier were just meant to get your attention! Once we subdue you, we'll naturally find out where you belong!
"Raiton: Raijin!" (Thunder Release: Lightning Needle!)
He swiftly formed hand seals and suddenly appeared in front of Sosuke!
"Crack!"
Several large lightning streams surged towards Sosuke from the ground!
However!
His attack missed!
Sosuke vanished from his sight!
What!?
The man immediately looked around in vigilance, fearing sudden attacks from the enemies!
Where are they!? How could they suddenly disappear!? Is it a genjutsu!?
At that moment!
Behind him, Uchiha Shino suddenly appeared!
His hands were already forming hand seals!
"Suiton: Suirō no Jutsu!" (Water Release: Water Prison Technique!)
The man swiftly turned his head, but it was too late; he was enveloped by the water prison forming around him!
Unable to move!
Uchiha Shino maintained his hand seals, and with his other hand inserted into the water prison, intense heavy water made it difficult for the man to move or use ninjutsu!
He couldn't even breathe!
Sosuke, Shino, and Saki reappeared in the man's sight.
When the man saw their faces, he couldn't help but be shocked!
These two individuals... they have the Sharingan and the Byakugan!!
They belong to Konoha!? Are they rogue ninjas!?
At this moment, the man couldn't speak.
Sosuke looked at him with a light smile and politely said, "Apologies, but due to some special circumstances, we have to take your life."
He then gave a signal to Shino to act.
Seeing how Sosuke and the others seemed ready to kill him without any hesitation, the man trapped in the water prison felt enraged!
These rogue ninjas! They are unforgivable!!
The man trapped in the water prison suddenly released a violent surge of chakra!
It seemed like he was going to burn!
Shino was astonished as he watched this, and the black gem in his Sharingan spun rapidly!
Saki also stared at the man with a serious expression using his Byakugan!
Sosuke stopped walking and looked at the man with interest!
"Gurgling... A bunch of rogue ninjas! Die!"
"Raiton: Senku no Jutsu!" (Lightning Release: Thousand-Handed Thunderclap!)
"Zizz! Zizz!"
Rumbling...
Intense lightning surged from the man's body and spread towards the walls of the water prison!
Shino quickly withdrew his hand, but he still suffered some injuries!
Faced with such a violent energy release, Shino and Saki quickly retreated!
Sosuke, however, stood still with a smile on his face, the reflection of dazzling lightning on his glasses.
"Captain Aizen!"
Saki urgently called out from behind, wanting to rush up and help.
The man, who had already broken out of the water prison, charged furiously towards Sosuke!
His body erupted with intense lightning, as if he were the incarnation of the Thunder God, furious and resolute!
"Die!!"
"Raiton Nier: Gantei no Yari!" (Lightning Release Second: Lightning Spear!)
Suddenly, all the lightning chakra on his body gathered in his hands, forming a lightning spear!
He thrust the spear fiercely towards Sosuke!
"Boom!"
Thunderous...
His attack struck the position where Sosuke was standing!
The powerful attack even created a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters in the ground!
The Mitai mansion also collapsed, and the surroundings trembled intensely due to the attack!
"Hoo... Hoo... Is it over... Hoo..."
Amidst the dust, the man panted faintly while standing in the large pit.
At this moment!
A gentle voice sounded from outside the huge pit.
"Quite a nice attack, but unfortunately, you haven't reflected on your past mistakes. Nonetheless, I can give you the greatest kindness in your final moments."
"Next move will be my last respect as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja."
Then, a soft murmur resonated on the battlefield.
"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi!"
Inside the pit.
Hearing Sosuke's voice, the man widened his eyes and looked back!
At that moment!
A one-person-high black cube suddenly rose from under the man's feet!
What is this!? The man was surprised to see this scene!
However, before he could react, the black cube sealed him completely!
"Snap!" "Snap!"...
Thousands of swords and blades pierced towards the man trapped in the Black Coffin!
