Chapter 73 - Enemy and Rival

Currently, within the territory of the Land of Iron.

In the windy and snowy wilderness.

Two ninja armies, entire snowy plain turned into a massive meat grinder, continuously devouring the lives of ninja after ninja.

Cold, cruel, bloody, with no end in sight...

This was the true cruelty of war.

But for the sake of victory and survival, neither side could easily admit defeat!

Even a small concession would render all previous efforts in vain.

What couldn't be gained on the battlefield, let alone gained through negotiation and peace.

Those who retreated, those who admitted defeat.

They would only be ruthlessly squeezed by the victor to compensate for the victor's own losses and desires.

Therefore, although the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage themselves did not want war, they were only engaging in battle.

But as Kage, for the sake of their village's future, they all had to take desperate measures and try their best to win this war.

The battle continued, and both sides killed each other like madmen.

But vaguely, Iwagakure's momentum was slowly weakening.

The reason was also very simple.

The snow and wind in the sky were certainly more beneficial to the Kirigakure ninjas who were skilled at escaping from water. However, their advantage was also limited. After all, the thick snow on the ground could also obscure the movement of earth element ninjutsu to a certain extent, making various earth element attacks more secretive.

If this trend continued, the winning side would eventually pay a heavy price.

Seeing this, Mu, not wanting to lose too much, finally took action.

Concealing his figure, he walked through the battlefield and went to the rear of the Kirigakure forces, ready to surprise the Second Mizukage.

As long as Gengetsu could be defeated or even killed, this war could be ended as soon as possible with the least possible sacrifice.

Finally, Mu found Gengetsu.

Sure enough, the arrogant and flamboyant man stood in a conspicuous place, facing the entire battlefield. Without saying a word, he became invisible from a distance of one hundred meters and unleashed it.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A square barrier instantly enveloped Gengetsu in the distance, instantly decomposing all objects inside the barrier into atoms.

But Mu wasn't too excited, because two other water avatars of Gengetsu appeared diagonally from behind.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"

Drops of liquid comparable to the speed of bullets fired from Gengetsu's fingertips, instantly penetrated Mu's body.

However, no blood came out, instead, it turned into a ball of rock and soil. It was clear that this Mu was just an earth clone.

After a few seconds, nothing appeared from the ground beside him.

Gengetsu also emerged from a patch of snow.

"Bandaged man, you despicable fellow, you actually attacked first!"

"You're not bad either. Standing in a conspicuous position alone, aren't you just trying to lure me into action?"

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

As rivals, they knew each other very well.

The confrontation just now was just a greeting.

There was no hope of defeating the opponent easily.

If killing was that easy, they wouldn't consider each other as old enemies.

"Has your giant clam been released?"

"Of course."

"It seems this is just an illusion?"

"Who knows? You can try again. After all, you're just a clone, right? Where is your real self hidden? In terms of despicableness, except for the Second Hokage, you're one of the best!"

Gengetsu mocked carelessly.

"By the way, do you really believe that the Second Hokage is dead? Was he killed in a sneak attack by the Kumogakure traitor?" Mu, who was also skilled in strategy, suddenly asked.

"What's so strange? No matter how strong a ninja is, he will die if his head is cut off!"

"Nothing is impossible if it's a sneak attack. After all, hasn't the new Third Hokage of Konoha already succeeded? This can't be wrong, can it?"

Tobirama's death made Gengetsu feel a little regretful.

He hadn't avenged his defeat from Tobirama last time!

Unexpectedly, the arrogant World'sSecond Hokagea would die so quickly.

Furthermore, deep down, both of them had a little doubt and worry.

However, the information was not wrong, Konoha did have a Third Hokage who had taken the throne.

Unless the Second Hokage was killed or seriously injured, the position would generally not be easily passed on. Especially during wartime, it was very easy to cause the military to lose morale.

The reason why both of them waited until now to launch the decisive battle was because they were waiting for definitive inforWorldn from KonoNinjaNow that the biggest threat was gone, they could finally let loose and fight again!

"Oh! By the way, where is that boy Onoki? Doesn't he like to follow you the most?"

"He's staying in the village to prevent you from launching a sneak attack."

Onoki was no longer the young man he used to be. He not only learned Dust Release, but his own strength was also on par with his.

Although his combat experience was a little immature, he wasn't yet able to lead troops on expeditions, but simply defending the village was definitely more than enough.

After all, the main force of Kirigakure Village was here. Even if they could mobilize troops to attack Iwagakure Village, the number would definitely be small and not enough to conquer Iwagakure Village.

"Sneak attack? Hah, I wouldn't bother with that kind of thing. But aren't you worried about another ninja village secretly attacking Iwagakure? We in Kirigakure Village don't have such worries..."

Gengetsu said proudly while stroking his mustache.

The Land of Water was isolated overseas. Although there were many inconveniences, it was not without benefits.

At least it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was much better than Iwagakure Village.

"Are you deliberately trying to upset me? You've become quite nasty too!" Mu snorted.

Now that the Second Raikage of Kumogakure Village had died, and the Second Hokage of Konoha Village had also died, what could these two villages do to launch a sneak attack? It would be good if there were no civil unrest.

As for Sunagakure Village? It had almost shrunk into a turtle, how dare it take the initiative?

Not to mention the rest of the small villages, there was no threat.

"Mustache, stop talking nonsense, today is the day of your death!"

"I said, don't call me mustache! You bandaged fellow, you're going to die today!"

As soon as they disagreed, both sides immediately went to war.

They all held back their energy, ready to defeat each other today!
