I, The New Hokage of Konoha - Chapter 275
Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!
As soon as they acted, the Mist Ninja unleashed their signature technique.
This time, it wasn’t just about Mei Terumi alone but all the elite Mist Ninjas who followed.
Instantly, an immense white mist surged forth from behind the Mist Ninjas, rushing toward the aircraft carrier, and engulfing everything in its path.
“We’ve been waiting for this move.”
Commander Ao of the carrier fleet immediately issued new orders.
Soon, numerous large, powerful wind generators were brought out by the carrier crew. Accompanied by the roaring of machines, a strong artificial gale blew fiercely, dispersing the incoming white mist.
Before the battle, the Konoha Village carrier fleet had prepared extensively, knowing that their opponents would likely use the Hiding in Mist Technique. Specifically procuring a batch of highly effective wind generators to dissipate it.
Although the combined Hiding in Mist Technique by the elite Mist Ninjas was stronger, it couldn’t be completely dispelled due to the wind generators.
Yet, the generated strong winds managed to disperse the white mist within a few hundred meters around the carrier, sufficient to defend against the Konoha’s forces.
Seeing that the Hiding in Mist Technique couldn’t approach the carrier, the attacking Mist Ninjas didn’t continue expending chakra to maintain it. Instead, they hastened their pace towards the carrier.
Boom!
The chakra cannons atop the carrier kept booming.
Accompanied by the sound of the Konoha guards firing kunai and various shinobi techniques sparkling in the air.
If it were ordinary ninjas, they would have surely suffered heavy losses under such firepower.
However, the few dozen elite Mist Ninjas who followed Mei Terumi suffered minimal casualties. They swiftly broke through layer after layer of the barrage and eventually counterattacked.
“Water Release: Rupture Torrent!”
“Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!”
“Water Release: Water Serial Bullets Technique!”
“Water Release: Water Trumpet!”
“… ”
Amidst the series of counterattacks by the Mist Ninjas, although they caused moderate damage to the massive carrier, the Konoha Ninjas on the deck were notably weakened.
Seizing this opportunity, the Mist Ninjas hastened their advance.
“It’s time for us to strike!”
On the carrier deck, after deflecting an incoming water dragon with his ninja blade, Mizukage activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and issued the final attack command.
“Haha! Finally, a chance for a good fight! I’m off!” Killer Bee exclaimed excitedly, then leaped off the deck and landed swiftly in the sea below.
The nearby Mist Ninjas, upon seeing just one Konoha ninja arriving, was initially startled, but soon, upon realizing it was just one individual, their faces turned cold, ready to take down this overly confident intruder.
Yet, in the next moment, their expressions froze.
Because, at that moment, several immensely large octopus tentacles suddenly extended from behind the newcomer, swiftly entangling several nearby Mist Ninjas who couldn’t dodge, and immediately, a pungent smell of blood emanated.
“Hey! When it comes to water battles, the Eight-Tails is no less powerful than you Mist Ninjas! Oh yeah!”
At that moment, Killer Bee couldn’t resist reverting to his true self and rapped a line.
And it was precisely then that Ao, using his Byakugan to observe more meticulously, exclaimed with a pale face, “This is… the Eight-Tails??? How is this possible? Why would a Cloud Ninja be here?”
“The Jinchuriki of Kumogakure?” Beside him, despite the leader Mei Terumi not showing as much surprise on her face, the intense shock in her eyes undoubtedly conveyed her current state.
Originally, even if the individual appearing from the carrier was Uchiha Mizukage, she wouldn’t have been surprised.
But the person who emerged was someone she never expected, a Jinchuriki from their supposed ally, the Cloud Village.
And from the current actions, it was clear they were siding with the Konoha.
What on earth was happening?
Didn’t the Cloud Ninjas agree to retaliate against the Konoha after some adjustments?
Why was the most crucial Tailed Beast weapon of the Cloud, now appearing here and attacking the Mist Ninjas, who should’ve been allies?
Is this an individual action or the will of the village?
At this unsettling moment, Mei Terumi clenched her fists, feeling as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Not only due to the unexpected betrayal of the Cloud Ninjas, which shifted the power dynamics between the remaining four nations and the Konoha drastically.
But also because at this point.
Since both the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails Jinchurikis were here, it indicated that the Konoha had been prepared for this assault.
So, they had fallen into a trap, hadn’t they?
Indeed!
Upon seeing a tall figure, clad in combat gear with the Uchiha clan fan, following after, Mei Terumi’s expression briefly showed deep resignation.”
