Chapter 65

For a time, Hozuki Suigetsu had only this thought in his heart.

With no time to think, seeing the Ice Dragon King about to dive down, Hozuki Suigetsu suddenly slapped both hands onto the ground.

Amidst a burst of smoke, a giant coral as tall as a five-story building appeared in front of Hozuki Suigetsu.

Summoning Technique: Overlord Coral!

This strange coral, which possessed intelligence, had extremely powerful vitality; the moment it was summoned, it began to produce coral-like proliferative substances at an extremely fast speed.

The proliferated coral wrapped Hozuki Suigetsu firmly inside, forming a layer of defense.

If there were any patients with trypophobia present, they would likely faint on the spot.

Even Mizunuki Ryosuke in the sky felt a chill in his heart when he saw the scene below.

"BOOM!"

As the Ice Dragon King crashed into Hozuki Suigetsu.

The ice layer on the entire lake surface shattered instantly, and a large amount of ice fragments splashed from the point of impact.

The terrifying cold air radiated toward the surroundings, and solid ice like an ice mountain formed at the center of the impact.

At the deepest part of the solid ice was Hozuki Suigetsu and the Overlord Coral, which had already been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Mizunuki Ryosuke leaped down from the back of the ice bird in the sky.

He landed in front of this giant ice sculpture.

Within the ice sculpture, Mizunuki Ryosuke could no longer feel a trace of life.

"CLICK!"

As Mizunuki Ryosuke gently snapped his fingers.

The giant ice sculpture shattered with a bang, and Hozuki Suigetsu and his summoning beast, the Overlord Coral, who were placed inside, also instantly shattered into powder.

The Mist Anbu Chief of the Hidden Mist Ninja Village, the Fourth Mizukage Hozuki Suigetsu from the original world, thus ended his sinful life.

On the other side, although the mysterious Mist Anbu was constantly fighting with Hozuki Mangetsu, who held the Lightning Blade: Kiba.

A portion of his attention had always been focused on Hozuki Suigetsu.

"Chief!"

The moment he saw Hozuki Suigetsu die, the mysterious Mist Anbu's emotions instantly collapsed.

"Good opportunity!"

Seeing this, a flash of brilliance instantly erupted in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes.

Lightning Release: Rock Avalanche!

Bursts of pale lightning erupted from the Lightning Blade: Kiba in Hozuki Mangetsu's hand; in an instant, it truly looked as if he had seen an avalanche.

With one slash, the Lightning Blade: Kiba, carrying a violent thunder roar, slashed straight through the blade in the mysterious Mist Anbu's hand.

The slash, carrying violent electric light, struck the Mist Anbu's body.

"ZZZT ZZZT ZZZT!"

Immediately, a burnt smell was transmitted into the air.

Clearly, under the violent lightning strike, most of the mysterious Mist Anbu's body had already been roasted.

"Cough, cough..."

A massive amount of blood that could not be stopped kept spraying from the mysterious Mist Anbu's mouth.

"Chief..."

"I'm coming to follow you!"

Using his final strength, the mysterious Mist Anbu struggled to bite his finger, formed seals with both hands, and pressed them onto the ground.

"Hehehehe..."

"I want all of you to pay the price!"

As the Mist Anbu let out a bizarre laugh, Hozuki Mangetsu immediately felt that something was wrong.

"POOF!"

As a mist appeared on the lake surface, a small, unconscious body appeared in the Mist Anbu's hands.

This was a thin, weak woman who looked plain, just like a commoner.

Reverse Summoning Technique!

"This is..."

Seeing this, a trace of solemnity and surprise flashed in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes, and then he immediately understood the severity of the situation.

Without delay, he disregarded everything and activated the Body Flicker Technique, wanting to get close to the Mist Anbu's side.

Unfortunately, everything was already too late.

The Mist Anbu extended his hand and pressed it onto the woman's abdomen.

Under the mysterious Mist Anbu's manipulation, a heart-palpitating, twisted chakra suddenly emerged from the woman's body.

At the same time, the lightning blade in Hozuki Mangetsu's hand also severed the Mist Anbu's head.

As the mask slowly fell off, it revealed a ferocious face that had been completely disfigured behind the mask.

"AAAAHHH!!!"

A painful howl resounded through the sky; the small woman on the lake surface had awakened at some point and let out an extremely painful scream.

Unable to care about looking at the Mist Anbu's appearance or estimating the woman's state.

Hozuki Mangetsu knew he was powerless to stop what was happening and could only keep retreating.

At the final moment, what Hozuki Mangetsu saw in his eyes was the desperate and helpless look in this thin girl's eyes.

On the shore of the Lake of Mist.

The battlefield here had clearly been divided into two parts.

The battling Mist Anbu and the members of the Jonin squad forces deliberately avoided the central battlefield and fought each other near the outer circle.

The degree of the war was also maintained only at the level of "stopping at a point."

Most ninjas, upon feeling they were no match, would also immediately surrender.

Regarding the "surrendered" ninjas, neither side made things difficult for the other.

They just tied up the surrendered ninjas and threw them aside, ignoring them further.

In fact, among the several battlefields, the battle between the Jonin squad forces and the Mist Anbu was considered the easiest.

Both sides had not even reached the point of life-and-death, and their exchanges all retained a certain bottom line.

Even though they were on the chessboard, as "chess pieces" in the hands of the chess players, the ninjas were not fools.

Except for the Mist Anbu elites and the Mizukage's direct members, who were like fire and water.

Everyone else had once been partners in the same ninja village.

It was only because of the different routes taken by the high-level officials that ideological differences arose, leading to the battle between the two sides.

After the war, regardless of which side won or lost.

Could it be that they would purge all the personnel who participated in the war?

Of course not; after all, this war had already involved seventy percent of the combat power within the Hidden Mist.

"The law does not punish the masses" is not an empty phrase.

Therefore, both sides of the battle knew it clearly, and because of this, the battle situation here was also extremely "peaceful."

If you look closely, you will even find that there are not many ninjas on either side releasing ninjutsu.

They are just throwing shuriken and kunai at each other, fighting in close combat.

Unlike the harmonious outer area.

In the center, the violent roars that came from time to time made these ninjas fighting on the outskirts feel a chill in their hearts.

Unlike the battle on the outskirts.

Within a five-kilometer radius of the center of the battle, there was almost no piece of land that was intact.

A large amount of brown soil under the ground was exposed, as if the entire earth had been turned over.

Trees, rocks, turf...

Every object you can imagine on the ground had been turned into powder.

What remained in their place were flesh and blood, severed limbs, broken bones, and shattered solid ice.

Tragic, messy...

Except for these two adjectives, you can't think of better ones to describe the scene here.

No other reason, just because this was the battlefield of the Mizunuki and the Kaguya!
