Chapter 258

Although the serious injuries to his body no longer supported Yuki Shinichi to continue fighting, Shinichi still used extreme methods to restore his ability to act for a short time.

He used his Ice Release ability to forcibly freeze his broken ribs to prevent the shattered ribs from piercing his lungs during movement.

And his broken right hand was still hanging crookedly on his arm, looking horrific.

Yuki Shinichi was breathing heavily; although he looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind at any time, his gaze remained unwavering.

Must wait for Doi Masao to bring back reinforcements!

Must let Lord Mizukage see the current will of the Yuki clan!

This was the belief that Yuki Shinichi insisted on in his heart!

Bee's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of depth flashed in his eyes.

"It's just a contest, is it really necessary to be like this?"

Bee said in a low voice to Yuki Shinichi before him.

"Haha..."

"Cough, cough..."

"What about you? It's just a contest, why do you bother to be like this?"

Yuki Shinichi chuckled twice, then coughed twice; he endured the sharp pain brought by the coughing and asked the Bee before him with a forced smile.

"So that's how it is, I understand..."

A hint of depth flashed in Bee's eyes; he saw the belief in Yuki Shinichi's eyes.

At this moment, a hint of approval flashed in Bee's eyes; if it weren't for his own beliefs, why would he bother to challenge the heroes of the Hidden Mist single-handedly?

Bee was not unaware that the probability of his success was minimal.

But belief is the will that a ninja carries throughout their life; since he had decided on his own path, how could a ninja easily talk about giving up?

"Come on!"

Bee took a stance, and a powerful aura erupted from his body again; although Bee had already recognized the opponent before him in his heart, his attack would still not have any mercy.

No other reason, for the Cloud Village, this was something Bee had to do!

And, to show respect for his opponent, Bee would go all out!

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Yuki Shinichi's face.

The next second, Bee's figure disappeared from the spot again, and the strong wind stirred up by the terrifying speed blew Yuki Shinichi's hair.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a pair of eyes like a tiger or wolf appeared before Shinichi; fighting until now, Shinichi still couldn't see Bee's movements clearly.

Subsequently, a hand blade flashing with lightning light slashed mercilessly toward Shinichi's neck.

Lightning Release: Lariat!

Because his right hand was crippled, Shinichi couldn't form seals to use ninjutsu at all; in a panic, he could only use the kunai in his left hand to block.

"BANG!!!"

"ZAP!!!"

With the dull sound of impact and some scattered purple electric arcs, a kunai flew into the sky, rotated disorderly a dozen times in the air, and then inserted into the ground.

No miracle happened, and Yuki Shinichi was not the protagonist and wouldn't have a sudden power-up; under absolute strength, all results had already been as expected.

Yuki Shinichi's body fell softly to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Cloud Village's Bee, victory.

In the Mizukage's office, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the scene in the Mirror of Clarity, a hint of depth flashing in his eyes.

"Sigh..."

Regarding this, he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.

Yuki Shinichi, a Jonin of the Yuki clan; he also knew about this person.

Back when competing for the position of Mizukage, Yuki Shinichi, like most of the Yuki clan, chose to support Yuki Eiro.

After Eiro was defeated and defected, the relationship between the Yuki clan and Mizunuki Ryosuke also became completely rigid.

For the sake of Rikka and Ren, Ryosuke did not purge the Yuki clan but chose to treat them coldly.

Because of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke had always been cold toward the Yuki clan since he took office, and the Yuki clan had tried many times to repair the relationship with the Mizukage but had little effect.

And the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, had seen his prestige in the village grow day by day.

Everyone saw the changes Ryosuke brought to the village; Ryosuke's excellence had long since made his popularity reach every corner of the village.

This also made the Yuki clan feel more and more guilty, urgently wanting to make up with Ryosuke.

In this atmosphere, many Yuki clan ninjas were full of energy, wanting to regain the Mizukage's view of the Yuki clan through their own performance.

But unfortunately...

No matter if it was big or small, the Mizukage's affairs never fell to the Yuki clan to handle; basically, as soon as something happened, someone had already rushed to finish it for Ryosuke.

The village's major affairs and government affairs were handled by the Mist Anbu Commander and the Great Elder.

Other thug work that required hands-on action was all covered by the "Confidant Trio."

Ryosuke's combat power was very sufficient, and there was no need for the Yuki clan's ninjas at all.

And now, Yuki Shinichi's behavior could be considered one of the few opportunities found to prove the Yuki clan before Ryosuke.

"It seems that the attitude toward the Yuki clan should also change."

A hint of movement flashed on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

After Bee defeated Yuki Shinichi, the number of Mist ninjas watching nearby had increased several times, basically all of whom had rushed over from all directions after hearing the commotion.

Seeing Yuki Shinichi's miserable state, all the Mist ninjas glared at Bee angrily.

At this moment, several Yuki clan ninjas had already arrived at the scene and sent Yuki Shinichi to the Ninja Cat Hospital for treatment.

Among them was the current clan head of the Yuki clan, the Fourth Mizukage's personal disciple—Yuki Mitsuhiko.

Mitsuhiko looked at Bee on the opposite side with cold eyes, his eyes full of chill.

Whether from the standpoint of the village or the Yuki clan, Bee's behavior undoubtedly touched Mitsuhiko's bottom line.

After Ryosuke's training, although Mitsuhiko already had the strength of an Elite Jonin, he was still somewhat inadequate against a figure like Bee who had reached the "Kage" level of combat power.

Not only Mitsuhiko, but the number of Jonin watching around had already reached more than twenty, and everyone was glaring at Bee.

"Next, let me learn your high skills!"

"You rest first, let me do it!"

"I'll do it!!!"

"..."

The crowd was indignant, and everyone was fighting to go up and fight Bee.

But regarding this, Bee remained very calm.

Because of the problem of ability characteristics, if the strength doesn't reach the tier, even if they reluctantly challenge him, it will only result in being killed in seconds.

For ninjas below the level of an ordinary Jonin, it's all the same no matter how many come.

Mitsuhiko jumped out of the crowd and arrived in front of Bee in one go.

At this moment, two other figures also jumped out of the crowd and arrived in front of Bee with movements almost identical to Mitsuhiko's.

Mitsuhiko looked over and found that they were also two familiar faces.

"Mei, you want to compete with me?"

Yuki Mitsuhiko asked his old teammate beside him with a poker face; it could be seen that he was very annoyed.
