Chapter 114 (Theatrical Version)
Chapter 114 (Theatrical Version)
Prajna never imagined that just a moment ago, Qianyu was still a little lamb being surrounded and chased by them.
The next second, they tore through their sheepskin disguise, not only capturing one of their teammates but also unleashing such a powerful ice technique.
Looking at the beluga whale that covered a radius of a hundred meters around him, Prajna wanted to cry but had no tears.
But now that things have come to this, there's no way to escape. Holding on might give us a chance.
With her hands forming hand seals, Hannya used the chakra she had originally intended to use to fight to the death as a life-saving ninjutsu.
"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"
"Rumble, rumble—"
The massive, earthen-yellow city wall slowly rose!
The next second, a seemingly slow but actually fast beluga whale crashed down!
To the horrified eyes of Shiranui and Nue who arrived later, the seemingly sturdy earthen walls of the castle only held out for a moment before being pierced through like paper by the ramming horn of a white whale.
Then a beluga whale fell along with the broken rocks, blocking the road and creating a tremendous commotion. Thick smoke and dust filled the air, completely obscuring Qianyu's whereabouts.
As for Prajna?
If you look carefully, you should still be able to find Hannya-chan!
"Shiranui, what should we do?" Nue instinctively looked at his captain.
"Back to the village!" Shiranui's face beneath her mask was ashen. "I never expected that such a powerful bloodstained expert was hidden among those rebels... This is no ordinary enemy; we must strike hard!"
"Upon returning to the village, I will seek an audience with the Mizukage and then send in even more elite Anbu to surround and annihilate them on the vast islands outside Kirigakure!"
"Let's go!" Shiranui took the lead and quickly moved towards Kirigakure, with Nue following closely behind.
The nimble, shadowy figures quickly disappeared from the bustling fishing port.
Only after the two left did Chiyu carry the unconscious female ANBU out from a dead corner of a nearby alley.
Recalling the words of those two Mist Ninja ANBU, Chiba pondered, "So, in the eyes of the Mist Ninja, I'm just a 'rebel' who brought back reinforcements?"
"To them, the only thing I'm worth paying attention to is my Ice Release, which is why they only sent one squad of Anbu to ambush me?"
"That makes sense! If it were just Bai, he really wouldn't have been able to escape this team's hunt!"
Because even though Chiba fought so easily, both of them were actually Jonin.
The Rain Woman in the four-person team started with an A-rank Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp. Even after being caught by her, she was able to calmly save herself.
Then, the way Hannya was knocked away by a sword and crushed to death by a white whale looked a bit like a clown.
But what Qianyu originally intended was to break through the stance with one sword and then directly behead the opponent with another. However, he did not expect that Hannya would use the force to deflect the attack at the last moment, which is why he was able to throw a somewhat stiff kunai.
"So this does dispel some suspicion about Danzo!" Senba nodded as she pondered.
Yes, they were ambushed as soon as they landed, and Chiba's first suspect was Danzo.
It's just selling out teammates, Danzo isn't incapable of doing such a thing.
“That wasn’t Danzo. My route was random. I was taken to the waters of the Land of Water by a merchant ship, and then I paid a fishing boat to return. Who could have tracked my movements so accurately?”
"The answer seems self-evident!"
"Of course, we still need to confirm the specifics! After that, we'll contact the contact person and the root!"
Dragging the captured female mist ninja, Chiba walked back into the shadows of the alley, preparing to find a place to stage a scene of torture for the female ninja.
However, what Qianyu didn't expect was that she didn't need to interrogate anyone to obtain information.
Because shortly afterward, the camera abruptly shifted to a dark space.
A strange, plant-like person dressed entirely in white, and a freak wearing a black robe with red cloud patterns and a vortex mask appeared before everyone.
"Huh?" Chiba was taken aback as she looked at the figure in the picture that was clearly Obito and was still practicing the rope bondage taught by their teachers on the Rain Woman.
She stopped what she was doing in disbelief: "Wait, is Obito about to be exposed now? Isn't it a bit too early?"
"What's going on?" Qianyu was completely confused this time.
She simply ignored the still-wailing rain woman and focused intently on watching the live stream.
Meanwhile, in the live stream, Obito noticed the arrival of White Zetsu and turned his gaze towards him: "How is the situation?"
White Zetsu replied, "It went very smoothly, just as we had anticipated. Phoenix Temple Chiba did not wipe out the Kirigakure Anbu. The remaining Kirigakure Anbu members, Shiranui and Nue, have already begun their return journey and should arrive at Kirigakure soon."
"Is that so? That's not bad at all!" Obito's eyes lit up. "It seems there's a chance to correct the mistakes I made with Danzo before!"
Even though so much time has passed, the thought that he clearly wanted to force Chiba to rebel against Konoha, but instead caused Chiba to join Root, still makes Obito mutter like a broken record, "I was so stupid!"
Of course, although that failure was devastating, it taught Obito a valuable lesson, and he began to carefully collect information on Chiba. So this time, he was determined not to fail!
Obito looked at White Zetsu: "Go, continue to monitor her, find out her whereabouts, and then proceed according to plan. I will go to Yagura immediately and have him mobilize the Kirigakure Anbu to hunt her down!"
With that, Obito stretched out his hand into the air, then clenched it tightly, producing a piercing explosion: "If the user of Wood Release cannot be used by us, then destroy her!"
"Yes!" Bai Jue replied simply, his body merging into the earth and disappearing.
At the same time, the live stream ended, the live stream room returned to darkness, and the barrage of comments that were frantically discussing because of the huge amount of information revealed in this segment were also cleared up in an instant.
But that's fine, because Qianyu isn't in the mood to keep watching the comments right now.
"So, it really was Obito who was behind this!"
Chiyu's face was serious. She wanted to come to the Land of Water to confront Obito, but she never expected that Obito would take the initiative to come to her.
Even Obito didn't just start targeting her now. According to Obito, Danzo knew she knew Wood Release because Obito interfered and leaked her information to Danzo.
The purpose was easy to guess: to force her to rebel. However, she did the opposite and joined in, thus unknowingly outmaneuvering Obito.
So now, a completely new problem is facing Qianyu.
That is, Obito is clearly targeting her now, and he's even able to mobilize the entire Kirigakure ninja to deal with her alone. Faced with this situation, what should she do?
Should we play it safe and leave, or try to take a gamble?
And the answer... of course, is not to leave!
Because Chiyu suddenly discovered something.
Now that she has arrived in the Land of Water, it's like she's on a new map.
New map, and a more prominent main character: her!
Add another obvious villain: Obito!
And a clear, politically charged background setting: Mei Terumi discovers that the Mizukage is being controlled by genjutsu, so she gathers like-minded people from all sides to return to Kirigakure, which also attracts the attention of Konoha.
what is this?
Isn't this just like the movie version?
