Chapter 171 Thank You for Your Wind
"Why don't you all just stay in the Land of Fire?"
The unique hoarse voice reached everyone's ears.
Everyone stopped involuntarily and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Orochimaru!"
He was just saying that support from the Kirigakure front might be arriving soon.
Who would have thought that it was Konoha's front-line troops that arrived first.
Not only Orochimaru, but also a large number of Konoha ninjas who followed him all jumped down instantly and appeared in front of everyone.
Since Biwa Juzo had just used perception ninjutsu to investigate before the battle, after the battle everyone was only concerned with leaving the place quickly and did not expect that Konoha's large army would arrive just in time by such a coincidence.
Faced with the encirclement of hundreds of Konoha ninjas, everyone felt a chill at the bone.
Even the usually arrogant Biwa Juzo couldn't imagine that they had any chance of survival.
An atmosphere of despair spread among the Kirigakure people.
Unfortunately, with so many ninjas coming from Konoha, it is obvious that they will not leave the people from Kirigakure with much time to think.
Orochimaru, who was standing on a branch in the distance, did not continue to speak, but waved his arms casually. A large number of Konoha ninjas behind him drew their weapons and rushed towards the crowd.
"You Kirigakure bastards, go to hell!"
"Everyone! Let's go!"
"Let them see how powerful Konoha ninjas are!"
These ninjas were all fighting on the front lines against the Kirigakure troops, and they already had a deep hatred for each other.
Now they had an opportunity to use their numbers to bully the few, and the ones they were bullying were the famous powerful men of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. They all rushed forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Everyone, break out on your own."
Faced with enemies that are nearly a hundred times his size, and with a top warrior like Orochimaru in charge, Kushimaru had no other options.
After giving the final order, he immediately fled to the rear.
Looking at the enemy gradually approaching, Kaito's gaze stayed on Kisame standing beside him.
Kaito knew that if he flew with Kisame, they might be forced to land before flying far.
Even though his finger joints were clenched white, Kaito had no choice but to speak in the end.
"Kisame, please don't die."
"That's what a ninja is, Doctor Kaito."
Kisame smiled silently and did not turn around and run away like the others.
Instead, he made seals with his hands in a very methodical manner.
"Water Style: Explosive Water Wave!"
A large amount of water flowed out of Kisame's mouth, and the mask on Kisame's face was also washed away.
The water turned into turbulent waves and rushed forward, trying to block the progress of the Konoha ninjas as much as possible.
At this time.
Kaito, who had already flown into the air, waved his chakra wings and looked at Kisame below with complicated eyes.
Hoshigaki Kisame should be his first friend after coming to the ninja world, even earlier than Terumi Mei and Momochi Zabuza.
If Kaito hadn't intervened, the other party could have lived peacefully for more than ten years and grown into a powerful Kage-level warrior.
There is no need to face this unfortunate experience at all.
At this moment, Kaito could feel his heart beating violently in his chest and the blood flow gradually accelerated.
An inexplicable anger surged in his heart.
"Do I really want to abandon my friends and run away like this?"
'Am I such a loser?'
When this anger reaches a certain critical point.
Kaito did not let his anger consume his reason, but gradually regained his composure.
The expression under the mask is no longer tangled.
'What I want is to live! But I don't want to live as a coward!'
At the same time, the 'Anticipation' in his mind also sounded an alarm.
However, it is different from usual.
The intensity of this warning was not high, but there was no clear direction of danger, as if the crisis was coming from all directions at the same time.
"Since the attack is not strong, just use the Gale Wings to fly away!"
Thinking of this, Kaito quickly moved in the air and scanned the surroundings, preparing to respond to the attack.
When his eyes swept over Orochimaru in the distance, Kaito could clearly see that the other person had his hands clasped together and a half-smile on his face.
"What jutsu?"
The next moment.
"Wind Style: Air Current Dance"
The turbulent currents generated by countless wind-style ninjutsu flew out from Orochimaru's hands and quickly moved to the area around Kaito and began to stir wildly.
The range of the ninjutsu is enough to cover the entire airspace where Kaito is located.
Although this ninjutsu could not cause any harm to Kaito.
However, in such a violent storm, Kaito, who was flying with the help of the wind, was completely unable to maintain his balance.
After trying for a while without any results, he had to quickly spread the wings behind him and fell to the ground.
During the descent, Kaito kept his eyes on Orochimaru in the distance.
But he saw Orochimaru opening and closing his mouth, as if he was saying something to him.
However, due to the long distance, Kaito couldn't hear the other party's words clearly.
However, when the enemy is showing off in front of him, Kaito will not be completely indifferent even though he knows that he is no match for him.
He also stared at Orochimaru and spoke.
"Thank you, wind! For keeping me here!"
Kaito, who was already prepared to give up escaping alone, was indeed qualified to say this.
With his legs lightly tapping the branches below a few times, Kaito landed steadily back to the side of Kisame.
Looking at Kisame who had taken off his mask, Kaito said indifferently.
"It seems that flying is no longer possible, so we can only run."
Upon hearing this, Kisame grinned at Kaito, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Then let's go together."
After the words fell, the two did not run away.
Instead, they formed seals with both hands at the same time, leaned over and slapped the water beneath their feet.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Style: A Thousand Feeding Sharks!"
The water surface under their feet, which was created by Kisame using the "Water Explosion Wave", suddenly surged violently.
The water then spiraled upward, turning into a raging torrent that poured out first, with a range large enough to cover most of the Konoha ninjas in front.
Immediately afterwards, countless sharks transformed from chakra continued to appear underwater.
After these sharks were formed, they all immediately merged into the forward-moving Great Waterfall, following the raging water flow and rushing forward.
The huge waves carried countless giant sharks swimming inside, and rushed towards the Konoha Ninja troops with the momentum as if to devour everything.
The roar of the water echoed throughout the entire battlefield, and all the trees along the way were either broken by the water or torn apart by the giant chakra shark.
A small number of Konoha ninjas who rushed too far forward had no time to react and were swallowed up by the flood.
Even if there are some ninjas who can withstand the impact of the water flow, they will be torn into pieces and eaten by the violent giant sharks inside.
Looking at the ninjutsu performed by himself and Kisame together, Kaito was very satisfied.
Although the scale of the release was not as large as the previous time when it was to protect the sky ninja ship.
But after several months of practice, Kaito's chakra amount has also increased.
He is no longer the weakling who would collapse after performing Great Waterfall Jutsu one time.
But compared to Kaito, who has to take drugs to replenish chakra immediately after performing ninjutsu. Kisame was standing next to him with a nonchalant look on his face, as if he was just attacking casually, and seemed to deserve a beating no matter how you looked at him.
"Tsk, is Kisame chakra so great?"
However, Kaito also knew that although the combined ninjutsu of the two seemed powerful, it would at most cause a little trouble to these Konoha ninjas.
He decisively pulled Kisame aside and retreated.
"Stop looking and let's go."
