Chapter 369: , the hand of cards gathered one by one

Unknowingly, Mizunuki Ryosuke had become the sole master of this battlefield.

Whether it was the Mist, Rock, or Cloud ninjas, all were waiting for Mizunuki Ryosuke to express his stance.

But just at this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke calmly closed his eyes and leaned peacefully against the Frozen Throne, as if quietly listening to something.

Having experienced what happened before, everyone knew the only thing they could do was—wait.

Wait until Mizunuki Ryosuke was willing to make a statement.

For a time, on the vast battlefield, there was only an eerie silence.

After a long while.

Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly opened his eyes, and with his closing and opening, more than twenty thousand ninjas felt their breath hitch.

It was finally here, the last card in his hand.

Next, it was time to put a period to this war.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke stretched and slowly rose from the Frozen Throne.

Now, it was time for them to have a good talk.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth.

Within the borders of the Land of the Moon, a team of several thousand people was constantly marching.

At the very front of the team, Hoshigaki Kisame looked at the abrupt silvery-white snow on the ground ahead, knowing he was not far from his destination.

Although Hoshigaki Kisame was used to the sight of snow in the Land of Iron, in the snow-scarce Land of the Moon, the significance of this snowy landscape was completely different.

Because Kisame knew clearly in his heart that the effects brought by the Mizukage's unique ninjutsu would create large-scale snowfall.

The fact that this place was covered in snow meant he was already very close to the battlefield.

Thus, Kisame formed a seal, and his figure disappeared from the front of the team.

Tida Tida Sanlang walked with difficulty, dragging his heavily injured body; due to his strength as an elite jonin, he was guarded by two Mist ninjas from the White Shark Unit.

And around Tida Tida Sanlang, several thousand severely injured Rock ninjas were also being escorted forward.

These injured Rock ninjas were precisely those captured by the White Shark Unit led by Hoshigaki Kisame, who had launched a surprise attack from the Land of Iron.

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's orders, Hoshigaki Kisame was ultimately tasked with taking over these injured Rock ninjas as prisoners and driving them toward the battlefield between the Cloud and Rock ninjas.

Among them, only Tida Tida Sanlang was guarded most strictly, but in fact, such guarding was somewhat overly cautious, because Tida Tida Sanlang's most important body parts as a ninja—his hands.

At this moment, they were already so severely injured that they could not be used, which meant that Tida Tida Sanlang's taijutsu was greatly diminished, and most importantly, his hands could not form seals, causing Tida Tida Sanlang to lose the ability to use ninjutsu.

Therefore, Tida Tida Sanlang's combat power at this moment was probably not even as good as a genin.

Even so, Hoshigaki Kisame still attached great importance to Tida Tida Sanlang, because his status among this group of prisoners was extraordinary, possessing value far exceeding other prisoners.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a tall, thin ninja with a shark face suddenly appeared by Tida Tida Sanlang's side; it was the leader of this team, Hoshigaki Kisame.

After arriving at Tida Tida Sanlang's side, Hoshigaki Kisame did not stand on ceremony, directly waving his hand to strike Tida Tida Sanlang's neck, knocking him unconscious.

Subsequently, Hoshigaki Kisame ordered the troops to stand by, then hoisted Tida Tida Sanlang up and quickly rushed toward the battlefield located in the center of the silvery-white snow.

Almost at the same time, not far from the battlefield.

In front of a hidden cave, a Cloud ninja with a square face was guarding the entrance meticulously, while vigilantly looking around, searching for any trace of danger that might appear.

And inside the cave, a short, middle-aged man with a bulbous nose slowly opened his eyes.

Onoki was dazed for a few seconds, his hollow eyes gradually gaining focus.

At the same time, the intense pain all over his body told Onoki one thing: he was still alive.

At this moment, a hideous smile tugged at the corner of the surviving Onoki's mouth; he was about to get up, but lay back down on the ground because he had aggravated his wounds.

His powerful willpower allowed Onoki to suppress the urge to cry out in pain, and his gradually clearing consciousness allowed Onoki to quickly check the situation around him.

He only vaguely remembered that at the last moment, the Third Raikage's palm had pierced his chest, and then he had lost consciousness.

He had thought it was a certain death, but he hadn't expected to be saved and brought back to life.

Onoki first checked his own injuries, discovering that the fatal wound on his chest had been stitched up and had initially healed under the effect of Yang Release.

The injuries caused by the battle on other parts of his body had also been simply treated and stabilized so they would not continue to worsen.

The seasoned Onoki could tell at a glance that a medical ninja with superb skills must have treated him.

Although his injuries had been healed, medical ninjutsu was not omnipotent; the existing injuries remained, and at this moment, Onoki's strength was less than one-tenth of its peak.

How much time had passed? Who had saved him? What was the situation with the Rock ninjas? Where was he now?

These were the questions Onoki urgently needed to figure out.

At this moment, Onoki struggled to climb up from the ground, attempting to find clues in the cave.

He took a step forward with difficulty, but was very vigilant not to make any sound.

In the current unknown situation, Onoki knew that any reckless move could lead to death.

Soon, after taking only two steps, Onoki discovered that the front of the cave was flickering with a verdant luster.

Onoki recognized this color; it was the luster emitted when medical ninjutsu was being performed.

Immediately, his breathing became a bit rapid, and Onoki approached the front with increasing caution.

Finally, after walking past a corner in the cave, Onoki saw the scene within.
