Chapter 117

"Are you worthy of the village's cultivation of you all these years?"

Mizunuki Taki scolded Hozuki Yagura, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Hehehe..."

"Old thing, it's come to this, and you're still spouting such nonsense."

"If it weren't for you old thing holding onto the position of Mizukage and refusing to let go, how could today's situation have arisen?"

Hozuki Yagura wore a ferocious look; things having reached this point, he also knew that the general trend was gone.

Even if he killed the Third Mizukage in the current battle, the situation had long since become completely irreversible.

"Things have come to this, and you still don't know how to repent!"

"Hozuki, let me send you to the underground to repent before the past generations of Mizukage!"

Mizunuki Taki scolded angrily, and then slashed Hozuki Yagura away with a sword.

That's right, Third Mizukage Mizunuki Taki, besides being a Bloodline Ninja skilled in Ice Release, was also a master of swordsmanship.

The sword in the Third's hand was a sword of cold ice condensed from his own bloodline.

On the other side, Hozuki Yagura held a strange weapon in his hand that resembled a club, but with a large red flower blooming at the tip.

"Go to hell!"

"Hozuki Yagura!"

The Third Mizukage quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and a large amount of cold air suddenly overflowed from his body, which made Hozuki Yagura on the opposite side feel terrified.

"Not good!"

Knowing that the Third Mizukage was about to use his "ultimate move," Hozuki Yagura hurriedly began to form seals for defense.

Ice Release Secret Technique: Heavenly Frost Cold Air.

After the seals were completed, a giant ice blade stretching for dozens of meters appeared in Mizunuki Taki's hand.

This giant ice blade was overflowing with incredibly astonishing cold air at this moment.

Hozuki Yagura's defense had also been completed, and layers of dense water walls formed by water flow rose around his body.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

The giant cold ice blade descended from the sky and slashed straight onto the Water Formation Wall.

With almost no obstruction, the Water Formation Wall instantly froze into ice blocks under the Heavenly Frost Cold Air, and was then shattered by the giant force of the ice blade.

"Heaven is destroying me!"

Seeing this terrifying cold ice blade, Hozuki Yagura had nowhere to dodge, and just as he was preparing to close his eyes and wait for death.

Suddenly.

Ripples suddenly appeared on the calm water surface, and a giant shadow appeared beneath Hozuki Yagura's feet.

Because most of the ninjas participating in the battle were walking on water, many ninjas standing on the lake surface also noticed the shadow beneath their feet.

"This is..."

Before everyone could be shocked, a giant body broke through the lake surface and rushed out.

"ROAR!!!!"

The terrifying roar was almost enough to pierce their eardrums.

The giant body with three tails made everyone feel their own insignificance.

This massive body was none other than the Three-Tails Isobu, which should have been lingering at the bottom of the lake!

As luck would have it, the position where the Three-Tails surfaced happened to be right between Hozuki Yagura and the Third Mizukage.

The suddenly appearing Three-Tails happened to block Mizunuki Taki's powerful strike for Hozuki Yagura.

"Boom!"

The cold ice blade stretching for dozens of meters slashed onto the Three-Tails' hard turtle shell.

The blade condensed from a massive amount of cold ice shattered instantly.

"ROAR!!!"

The Three-Tails, which had suffered a heavy blow just as it surfaced, let out a painful roar, but Mizunuki Taki's attack was not that simple.

The shattered cold ice splashed out, and the exploding ice crystals caused secondary damage.

The terrifying cold air spread on the Three-Tails' shell, and before long, an iceberg had condensed on the Three-Tails' back.

If this were any other Tailed Beast, taking this strike head-on would probably be enough to finish it.

But this was the Three-Tails; as everyone knew, the Three-Tails' true form was a turtle, and the hardest part of a turtle was naturally its back shell.

This wave could only be considered using one's own spear to attack one's own shield.

Rounding it off, the Three-Tails basically didn't suffer any major damage.

Because the vast majority of the damage was borne by the Three-Tails, Hozuki Yagura was able to escape unscathed.

"Hahahahaha!!!!"

"Heaven is truly helping me!"

Hozuki Yagura let out a ferocious, crazed laugh.

He had thought he was about to die, but he hadn't expected to be saved by the sudden appearance of the Three-Tails by mistake.

How could Hozuki Yagura not be ecstatic after such a roller-coaster of emotional ups and downs?

Looking at the Three-Tails on the side, it had suffered a heavy blow just as it appeared; wasn't this bullying the beast too much?

Furthermore, the Three-Tails naturally still remembered that it was the Third Mizukage who had sealed it into Okubo's body back then.

New hatred and old grudges welled up in its heart; the Three-Tails immediately opened its bloody mouth, aimed it at Mizunuki Taki not far away, and a pitch-black sphere began to condense constantly in its mouth.

It was the ultimate move of the Tailed Beasts—the Tailed Beast Ball!

In the entire Ninja World, with the Six Paths not yet appearing, this move could be considered the peak level of damage.

But what no one noticed was that deep within the Three-Tails' giant beast pupils, three blood-red tomoe were constantly rotating.

"It's over!"

Mizunuki Taki never expected that the situation would take a sharp turn in an instant.

Having just exhausted a massive amount of chakra, the Third's body was currently in a stage where the old strength had not yet faded and the new strength had not yet been born.

In game terms, the Third was currently in the "skill cooldown" period.

Trying to resist a Tailed Beast Ball head-on was almost an impossible thing.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Seeing the Tailed Beast Ball, Hozuki Yagura suddenly became excited.

Happiness had come so suddenly that he was even slightly unaccustomed to it.

On the other side, Hozuki Mangetsu, who was watching the battle, also secretly cried out that it was bad.

As the core of the faction, the Third absolutely could not have anything happen to him!

Once something happened to Mizunuki Taki, this battle would completely lose its meaning.

It was likely that it would be completely impossible to end things in the end.

But right now, Hozuki Mangetsu was seriously injured, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were still fighting fiercely.

The battle area for ordinary ninjas was too far away, and they couldn't provide support in time.

Who else could block the Tailed Beast Ball and save the Third Mizukage right now?

"My life is over!"

There was no time to think about why the Three-Tails, which should have been extremely weak, appeared here and had the energy to release a Tailed Beast Ball.

Mizunuki Taki's heart was left with only this one sentence at this moment.

The pitch-black light sphere carrying the power to destroy everything was sprayed out from the Three-Tails' mouth; at this moment, the Third Mizukage's body was so insignificant in front of this Tailed Beast Ball.

At the critical moment, a tall and straight figure suddenly blocked in front of the Third Mizukage.

"Ryosuke?!"

Mizunuki Taki exclaimed, because the person who suddenly appeared was none other than Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Ice Release: Absolute Zero!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke slapped his hands onto the lake surface.

A large amount of water gathered in front of the young man, and then condensed into a magnificent ice wall; on the front of the ice wall, there was even a giant ice dragon head carved.

Under the extremely cold temperature, the solid ice condensed in this way also possessed extreme hardness.

"Boom!"

The pitch-black Tailed Beast Ball collided with the magnificent ice wall, erupting with terrifying energy fluctuations.
