NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: 10
Under the impact of a series of explosions, neither Pakura nor the Suna Anbu dared to stand up to him, and they fought as they retreated.
"Be careful with your feet!"
Pakura suddenly shouted and reminded her companions, but it was too late.
'Swish swish.'
The place at which the Suna Anbu stood suddenly burst out with several steel wires, that stitched together instantly, and cut off his legs on the spot.
Nuibari · Ground spider seam.
"Aahhh!"
The Suna Anbu let out a shrill scream, but it stopped abruptly when it was only halfway through.
Because the Nuibari shot from the side and pierced through the man's neck.
'Swoosh.'
Kuriarare Kushimaru pulled the Nuibari back, and stuck out his tongue and licked the hot blood on it, then smiled at Pakura, and disappeared into the darkness again.
This is what's so scary about the Heartless duo.
Jinpachi Munashi is in charge of frontal combat, keeping the enemy at bay, while Kuriarare Kushimaru is lurking in the dark, and once he finds an opportunity, he will strike a deadly blow on the enemy who reveals his flaws.
Under such a tacit cooperation, the two of them are not afraid even if they face an enemy that is several times numerous than their own.
'Thud.'
As the corpse of the Suna Anbu fell down, the scene instantly formed a two-on-one situation, and the situation was very bad for Pakura.
"Suffer to death."
Jinpachi Munashi didn't feel any pity, and before he finished speaking, he picked up the Shibuki and slashed towards Pakura who was in the middle.
At the same time, Kuriarare Kushimaru kept bursting out grotesque laughs, walking in the shadow of the woods, and attacked from time to time, increasing Pakura's pressure.
"Hateful."
Pakura clenched her teeth tightly, but in desperation she could only defend with all her strength, and retracted a few scorching fireballs to her side to form a defensive wall.
At this time, she had already started to retreat, but as she tried to escape twice in a row, both ended in failure.
How could the experienced and Heartless duo let her escape?
They were also afraid of Pakura's scorch release, worried that she would fight back desperately, they always kept a certain distance and constantly consume her chakra.
If this continues, Pakura will be ground to death sooner or later.
Everything that happened in the woods was seen by Kisame.
He knew that he couldn't stand idly by now. If the Heartless duo took down Pakura without a fight, Kisame's plan of obtaining Nuibari and Shibuki will fail.
He couldn't miss this opportunity.
Then-
"Ok."
Kisame took a deep breath, strode out of the woods, and shouted from a distance, "Lord Kuriarare Kushimaru!"
"Oh, it's you?"
Hearing this, Kuriarare Kushimaru turned around and found that it was Kisame and asked casually, "Where is Zabuza?"
Zabuza is a subordinate he valued more, the kind that he intends to use to cultivate well.
Kisame's eyes flashed, and instead of answering the question of Kushimaru Kuriarare, he shouted loudly:
"My lord, this woman once killed my comrade, as well as my most beloved senior Kurosuki Raiga. Please let me fight and avenge them!"
Before he finished speaking, Kisame made a series of seals without waiting for the other party to answer, gathered the surging Chakra in his body to his throat, and opened his mouth to spit forward.
Water Release · Tsunami.
'Woosh.'
At this moment, the water jet from the mouth of Kisame formed a three-story tsunami that spread forward.
"This kid can actually perform B-rank ninjutsu."
Kuriarare Kushimaru was taken aback, but what surprised him even more was that the tsunami was not only heading towards Pakura, but also enveloped him and Jinpachi Munashi.
The three people who were fighting stopped fighting for a while, and they all avoided the flood.
In the end, the flood cast by Kisame had the effect of changing the terrain, forming a lake with a diameter of tens of meters in the woods.
"Kisame, what are you doing?"
Kushimaru Kuriarare stepped on the water and asked in a cold voice, but looking around, Kisame was not in his sight.
At this moment, a huge vortex suddenly appeared under his feet.
It was five chakra sharks, wandering at high speed under the water, forming a swirling rapids, trapping the Kushimaru Kuriarare in it.
Water Release: Five Shark attack.
Another B-rank ninjutsu.
Five ferocious sharks, firmly surrounded Kushimaru Kuriarare, and launched a ferocious attack, trying to tear him to pieces.
This unexpected sneak attack immediately put Kushimaru Kuriarare in danger.
"Hey, what's the matter with your subordinate?"
Jinpachi Munashi saw this scene and shouted at his companion.
Pakura on the side was also surprised.
The shark-faced man who suddenly appeared made her feel a little familiar, but she was very sure that this ninja named Kisame was not a spy who was planted by Suna in Kiri.
'In any case, taking advantage of the other party's infighting is an excellent opportunity to retreat.'
Thinking of this, Pakura immediately burst chakra at the soles of her feet, and fled to the distance with Shunshin jutsu.
"Want to escape?"
Jinpachi Munashi raised his eyebrows, and chased after her with Shibuki, stopping Pakura.
The two sides got into a fight again.
Kushimaru Kuriarare has a strong body, and while dodging the shark's attack, he manipulates the Nuibari to flexibly shuttle, and penetrates the five sharks one by one, cracking the technique.
"This kind of attacks, no matter how many come, it's useless."
He sneered and looked at the water, "You traitor, that guy, Kurosuki Raiga, was also killed by you and the Suna ninja, right? Get out of here!"
Before he finished speaking, the Nuibari in his hand shot again, and moved into the water.
Obviously, Kuriarare Kushimaru was going to repeat the trick, as before, to fish Kisame from the bottom of the water.
Unfortunately, he was going to miscalculate this time.
Kisame hidden at the bottom of the water saw Nuibari lashing out, and his eyes suddenly lit up, just like a person who was about to starve to death saw a piece of fragrant braised pork.
He was excited.
At this moment, he no longer hides his power, his arms are congested with blue veins, and he shoots out brazenly.
He tilted his head first, narrowly dodging the attack of Nuibari, then quickly and accurately grabbed the sword and pulled it hard.
"Um?"
Kuriarare Kushimaru who was on the surface of the water suddenly felt a strong force coming from the water along the Nuibari. Not only did he not catch Kisame, but he was dragged into the water by him.
'Pfft!'
Kushimaru Kuriarare plunged into the water. Although he is a Kirigakure ninja who has been dealing with water all the year round, as a giant, his limbs are too slender, and once he enters the water, he can easily lose his balance.
In contrast, the water is the home of Kisame.
At this time, Kisame dragged the end of the Nuibari, and forcefully pulled Kushimaru Kuriarare to the deep water area, trying to suffocate the latter to death due to lack of oxygen.
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
Seeing that Kisame was about to succeed, Kuriarare Kushimaru attacked and fought back fiercely.
He held the Nuibari tightly with one hand, preventing Kisame from taking it, and the other hand actually completed the difficult one-handed seal in the water.
'Shhhhhh!'
As he completed the seal, needles shot out from his palms and ran towards the key points in the ghost shark's body.
Kuriarare Kushimaru didn't take action until this time, because he had already calculated that at such a close distance, a human ninja, no matter how nimble he was, he couldn't escape the attacks of the Nuibari.
'Unless that guy can really turn into a fish.'
But in the next second, his pupils shrank sharply as he saw an incredible scene.
Kisame in the water suddenly increased his speed, and with his extremely flexible swimming, he perfectly avoided all the attacks of the Nuibari, and accelerated towards Kuriarare Kushimaru.
Behind him, a gray-brown sword tail, loomed…
'Is that... a tail?'
What kind of monster is this guy?
Kushimaru Kuriarare opened his eyes widely, his hands trembled slightly, and finally realized that the situation was not good.
Soon he gritted his teeth, and loosened his hold on Nuibari, and even if he lost this ninja sword, which was regarded as his life, he still wants to flee to the surface.
Unfortunately it was too late.
Because, Kisame swung his shark tail and had already rushed in front of Kushimaru Kuriarare.
On the lake.
'Gurgling.'
The tumbling water splashes like a fountain, which means that a fierce fight is going on underwater. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling silver thunder light came from the water, illuminating the entire lake surface, and flickered for more than ten seconds.
After the thunder light disappeared, the lake surface finally returned to calm, no more ripples appeared, as if nothing had happened.
Such a sight made both Pakura and Jinpachi Munashi startle and they stopped fighting.
What happened under the water?
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Jinpachi Munashi couldn't even care about Pakura, and ran to the shore to call out Kushimaru Kuriarare, his eyebrows frowning tightly together.
He had an ominous premonition.
And he was right.
As soon as Jinpachi Munashi's voice fell, a tall corpse slowly surfaced. The skin of the corpse showed obvious burn marks, and even bones could be seen in some severely burned parts.
It's Kushimaru Kuriarare.
At this moment, his Anbu mask was shattered, revealing a terrified face, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before he died.
"Why..?"
Seeing the tragic death of his companion, Jinpachi Munashi couldn't help but take two steps back, panicking in his heart.
'Good chance!'
Seeing this, Pakura immediately decided to switch from defense to attack, manipulating the scorching fireball and sent it towards Jinpachi Munashi.
Although she still wasn't sure about Kisame's identity, she was besieged by the Heartless duo just now, and when she couldn't stand it any longer, it was Kisame who killed Kushimaru Kuriarare and rescued her.
