Chapter 79 You fatso, you've already found your way to death!
"Art is an explosion!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous, violent explosions, like the wildest drumbeats, resounded throughout Wind Howling Valley.
When Makoto Goji was infiltrating before, he had already thoroughly investigated the structure and key nodes of the entire transfer station through the reconnaissance of his clone from the Limbo.
He not only covered the inside of each warehouse with high-quality detonating tags, but also quietly placed a large number of explosives in the load-bearing walls of the barracks, the ventilation ducts of the intelligence room, the core area of the communication equipment, and even the weak points of several natural rock walls in the valley!
While this explosion wasn't as powerful as Patrick Star's, it was still far more devastating than a typical blast.
The valley instantly transformed into a purgatory of fire and shockwaves!
Blazing flames shot into the sky with a deafening explosion, thick smoke billowed, and rubble and debris rained down like a storm.
The warehouse collapsed in flames, and the barracks were overturned by the shockwave. The Konoha ninjas never expected that the entire site would suddenly experience a devastating explosion. They were either engulfed by flames or blown away by the shockwave. Screams and explosions mingled together, creating a symphony of death.
The entire Wind Howling Valley transfer station was completely blown to bits in just a few dozen seconds.
"Done."
Inside the Kamui Space, Makoto Kuraki looked with satisfaction at the apocalyptic scene outside through a spatial rift.
This time, instead of using the energy-consuming Super Shinra Tensei, they used a relatively traditional but equally efficient explosive method.
It can achieve the goal of destruction, hide the existence of the Rinnegan, and also pick up some supplies along the way.
Killing three birds with one stone.
Who says old is no good? Old is absolutely amazing!
"It's time to leave."
After admiring his artwork and confirming that Wind Howling Valley was completely paralyzed and had no survivors, Makoto Kujira no longer lingered and prepared to activate his divine power to leave.
But just as he was about to transfer...
call out!call out!call out!
Several sharp whooshing sounds suddenly burst out from the mountain forest to the side and below.
The attacks were not directed at Makoto Karuta, who was currently hiding in the Kamui Space, so the attacks could not reach him at all.
But the trajectory and target of the attack made Makoto Goji's eyes suddenly narrow.
The target of those attacks was a figure moving rapidly in the mountains and forests!
A figure he knew all too well!
His long, reddish-brown hair was slightly disheveled from the fierce battle, his delicate face held a chilling killing intent and a hint of barely perceptible fatigue, and his emerald green eyes, like jewels, were now burning with rage.
She wore a dark blue combat uniform typical of Kirigakure Jonin, with an open white vest over it, outlining her slender yet powerful figure. She held a sharp kunai in each hand, and her chakra surged around her, with water vapor swirling around her.
That person was none other than the future head of the Terumi clan, the fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure, and also my Makoto's fiancée.
Mei Terumi!
At this moment, she was being attacked by three guys dressed in Konoha ANBU uniforms!
The battle was fierce.
Mei Terumi's strength is beyond doubt. Her dual bloodline limits of Lava Release and Boil Release make her almost unbeatable among her peers.
But she is still young and inexperienced, and judging from her condition, she has obviously been fighting for quite some time.
His breathing was slightly rapid, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. There were several obvious tears and scorch marks on his white vest, and there were also minor scratches on his arms and legs, with blood soaking the fabric.
The three Konoha ANBU members worked together seamlessly and used cunning and ruthless methods, clearly demonstrating that they were the elite of the elite.
A figure wielding a short knife, with an eerie posture and a sharp blade, forced Mei Terumi to constantly dodge.
The other person kept forming hand seals, smoothly switching between Fire Release and Wind Release ninjutsu, suppressing Terumi Mei from a distance, sealing off her movement space, and disrupting her rhythm.
The last person remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Mei Terumi!
The three of them, like well-coordinated hunting dogs, patiently and gradually wore down Mei Terumi's stamina and chakra, clearly determined to keep her here permanently!
Gouju Cheng's gaze instantly turned as cold as ice.
You want to mess with me?
Yes, on the battlefield, it's all about skill.
You dare touch my wife?
snort!
However, his wife is indeed powerful; her dual bloodline limit is a unique existence in the ninja world.
Mei Terumi parted her red lips slightly, and the molten acid sprayed out like raindrops, corroding the ground and trees, forcing the ninja swordsmen in the ANBU to dodge frequently.
At the same time, it exhaled boiling mist, and the strong acid vapor could not only interfere with vision, but also burn the respiratory tract, hindering the three-person attack.
However, the consumption of dual bloodline limits is obviously enormous.
Mei Terumi's breathing was becoming erratic, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her movements were not as smooth and agile as they had been at the beginning.
She was looking for an opportunity to break through, but the group was so well-coordinated that one of them was lurking in the shadows, making her afraid to retreat for fear of exposing her back.
"The three of you are already courting death!"
Makoto Goji's eyes narrowed as he seized the last chance to use the Sharingan.
Kamui!
The pattern on his left Sharingan eye suddenly started spinning!
Target locked.
The hidden ninja in the shadows was intently watching Mei Terumi's movements, searching for an opening that would deliver a fatal blow.
He was absolutely confident that as long as his two other companions exhausted Mei Terumi's strength and made her show even a 0.1-second lapse in concentration, his kunai would pierce her throat.
But just as he was about to seize an opportunity, the space beside him suddenly twisted and spun without warning!
"What?!"
He felt an indescribable pain throughout his body. The next moment, his entire neck, head, and even his entire upper body felt as if they were being twisted violently by an invisible hand.
"Pfft!"
The stench of entrails and blood instantly filled the air.
The hidden ninja, who was waiting for his chance to strike, didn't even have time to let out a scream before his upper body was completely swallowed and crushed by the Kamui Space. Only half of his body remained as he crashed to the ground, his internal organs and blood splattered all over the ground, a bloody and bizarre scene.
Instant kill!
Madara Uchiha was right; the Sharingan can only unleash its full power when both eyes are aligned.
The power of the dual Kamui was on full display at this moment. Even though it was a counterfeit, the strength of the dual Kamui still surpassed that of the single Kamui in Kakashi's eyes!
This sudden and incomprehensible death instantly shocked the other two ANBU ninjas who were besieging Mei Terumi, causing their attacks to halt.
What happened?!
How did my comrade die?!
They didn't even see where the attack came from; they only saw the space around their comrade's hiding place distort, and then—
The person is gone!
"Chance!"
Although Mei Terumi was equally shocked, her extensive experience allowed her to instantly seize upon the enemy's momentary weakness.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her red lips parted slightly.
"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"
A large amount of highly corrosive acid gushed from her mouth, turning into a viscous torrent that rushed straight towards the ANBU ninja wielding a short sword!
The ANBU ninja had just recovered from the shock of his companion's bizarre death when he was confronted with acid powerful enough to melt steel. His expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he abandoned his attack and retreated rapidly.
However, the acid covered a very large area and moved very fast. Although he avoided the direct impact, the corner of his clothes was still stained by the splashed acid, which instantly corroded several charred holes, and his skin felt a burning pain.
"Earth Release: Earth Formation Wall!"
Another ANBU ninja responsible for remote suppression reacted extremely quickly, forming hand seals, causing the earth to tremble and an earthen wall to rise, attempting to block the acid and cover his comrade.
However, just as he finished forming the hand seals, before his chakra had fully calmed down, he suddenly...
A figure moving so fast it was almost beyond the limits of visual perception appeared beside him without warning, like a ghost.
It's Goji Berry!
At the same moment Kamui snapped the neck of the first person, he activated another copied bloodline limit.
Swift Escape!
Swift as the wind, in the blink of an eye!
The ANBU ninja only felt a blur before his eyes, and a sharp pain shot through his neck.
That was too fast! There wasn't even time to react!
"Pfft!!"
The sound of flesh being torn apart was very realistic, and Makoto Karimoto's kunai landed precisely on the neck of the ANBU ninja.
A terrifying force erupted instantly, and the ANBU ninja had no chance to react. His head was severed from his body, and the masked head rolled on the ground. He fell forward and twitched twice before going still.
One strike, one kill!
Makoto Karatachi didn't even use any ninjutsu; relying solely on his extreme speed enhanced by Swift Release, he instantly defeated an elite Konoha ANBU member.
From the moment Shenwei killed the first person to the moment he used Xuntun to ambush and kill the second person, the entire process took no more than two seconds.
With lightning speed, like a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping!
The remaining ANBU ninja wielding the short sword had just dodged the acid and regained his footing when he saw the gruesome deaths of his two companions, as well as the young and handsome face of Makoto Karatachi.
This appearance—
Goji berries, honest?!
How did he end up here? Wait, could it be that he was the one who caused the terrifying explosion that came from Fengming Valley earlier?
And that bizarre way of dying, that terrifying speed—
The intelligence was seriously flawed. This person's level of danger and methods are probably far more terrifying than Lord Danzo estimated!
escape!
We must bring the intelligence back immediately!
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he didn't hesitate and turned to use his teleportation technique to escape.
"Trying to leave?"
Gouju Cheng's icy voice rang in his ears like a leech.
How could the activation of the Instantaneous Movement Technique possibly outpace the speed burst of Swift Escape?
In an instant, Makoto Karimoto appeared beside the ANBU ninja. The man froze, his pores contracted, and a chill ran down his spine. He instinctively raised his sword to block.
"clang!"
The ninja sword barely blocked the kunai, the immense force causing his hand to go numb, and he was once again shocked by Makoto Karatachi's strength.
What kind of power is this?
He specializes in swordsmanship and can be considered a semi-Taijutsu Jonin, yet he is no match for Makoto Karatachi in a clash of strength.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
At the same time, Mei Terumi's delicate shout rang out.
A ferocious water dragon materialized from her side, roaring as it crashed into the ANBU ninja who was slowed down by gravity.
A pincer attack from both sides!
A flicker of despair and ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the ANBU ninja. Knowing he couldn't escape, he simply stopped struggling.
He turned to face Makoto Koji, his short sword flashing with blinding lightning, a desperate attempt to turn offense into defense!
Lightning-attribute chakra stimulated his body, and he, wielding a short sword, transformed into a dazzling blue-white light, piercing straight into Makoto's heart.
Gouju Cheng frowned slightly and then flashed away.
With the aid of Swift Escape, the lightning dagger that the ANBU ninja desperately thrust out only pierced through a fleeting afterimage.
At the same time, Makoto Kuraki's true form appeared ghost-like behind him, his right hand reaching out with hook-like fingers, precisely gripping the opponent's wrist holding the knife.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
The ninja's wrist was crushed, and his dagger fell from his hand.
But he was also fierce and brave. Ignoring the excruciating pain, he used his left hand, fingers together like a knife, to thrust it straight into Makoto's throat, carrying the last of his chakra!
Gouju Cheng remained expressionless, twisted his wrist, and thrust his knee forward, using offense as defense to break the guy's dying counterattack. Then, he delivered a double-peak blow to the ear and mouth with a resounding "thud!"
Having suffered a severe head injury, the ANBU ninja swayed before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
The battle is over.
In just over ten seconds, three well-coordinated and highly skilled Konoha elites were all killed by Makoto Karatachi.
He straightened up, clapped his hands, and turned to look at Mei Terumi standing not far away.
The latter was slightly out of breath, her emerald green eyes fixed on him, filled with surprise.
"What, are you captivated by your husband's handsome appearance?"
Makoto Karatachi walked up to Mei Terumi, a look of concern on his face: "How are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Mei Terumi took two deep breaths to calm her breathing and agitated emotions: "It's just that my chakra was quite depleted, and I only have a few superficial injuries—by the way, how did you get here?"
"Of course, it's to carry out a mission."
Makoto Karatachi looked at Mei Terumi with some surprise: "My Mist Blade Squad exists to cause trouble behind Konoha's lines. But you, how come you're here alone and being chased by Konoha's people?"
"Even if things are tense at the front, you should be there, not here all alone."
Wind Valley is located on the eastern border of the Land of Fire, facing the Land of Waves across the sea, and is far from the front line.
Mei Terumi is from the intelligence department; she shouldn't be here at all.
Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's face immediately darkened, and a cold rage flashed in her eyes.
"I wasn't sent out; I tracked them down myself."
"Investigate?"
Gouju Cheng frowned slightly.
"Hmm." Mei Terumi nodded, her voice low and tinged with coldness: "While I was helping the intelligence department at the rear process the information sent back from the front, I discovered some—abnormal signs."
"Some of our Fog Shadow's operational plans, especially intelligence regarding the deployment of elite squads, the transportation routes of important supplies, and even the habits and weaknesses of some commanders—were leaked too quickly and too accurately."
"Konoha always manages to make targeted preparations in advance, causing us heavy losses."
Gouju Cheng's eyes narrowed.
"A mole?!"
"At first, I thought Konoha's investigative capabilities were too strong, but after using some of my own and my clan's connections and conducting a secret investigation, I discovered that there was indeed a mole within the organization." Mei Terumi took a deep breath: "And the source of the leak is someone neither of us would ever have imagined!"
She looked at Gouju Cheng and said, word by word.
"Suikazan Fugu Demon!"
Gouju Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon?
One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wielder of the greatsword Samehada, and vice-head of the Mist Village's intelligence department?!
That fat bastard?!
"You mean—our deputy head of the intelligence department is selling information about Kirigakure to Konoha and Danzo?"
Makoto Goji's voice turned cold.
"That's right." Mei Terumi nodded firmly. "I tracked several suspicious intelligence flows, and they all vaguely pointed to him."
"Although he was cunning and used many middlemen and disguises, I still managed to catch the clues he left behind."
"This time, I left the village under the pretext of carrying out a clan reconnaissance mission, but I was actually tracking a secret route that the Fuguki was using to contact Konoha, and eventually I locked onto these guys."
She pointed to the three corpses on the ground.
"You might not know this, but they aren't ordinary Konoha Anbu ninjas; they're members of Danzo's Root organization!"
"They must be one of the groups responsible for contacting the pufferfish demon. I originally intended to seize or kill them to obtain solid evidence, but they detected me beforehand and ended up surrounding me here—"
As Mei Terumi finished speaking, a hint of lingering fear and regret flashed in her eyes: "If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid—"
She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.
Given her condition at the time, facing three well-coordinated elite members of the Root Force, her chances of survival were slim.
After listening, Gouju Cheng remained silent for a moment.
The pufferfish demon sold information to Danzo.
No wonder!
No wonder Danzo was able to quickly obtain detailed information about the Mist Blade Squad and even know about the existence of the Hand of God!
No wonder Konoha's responses are always spot-on, making Kirigakure's frontline fight so frustrating!
So that's where the root of the problem lies!
A high-ranking member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who possessed core intelligence, turned out to be a traitor who betrayed his own side!
A cold glint flashed in Goujucheng's eyes.
No wonder Kirigakure suffered such a swift defeat in the war against Konoha. With their vice-captains all traitors, how could they possibly fight? Their very secrets have been exposed!
"Who else knows about this?"
"Only I know right now." Mei Terumi shook her head. "I haven't told anyone, not even my clan. Fuguki has considerable influence in the village and is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Without solid evidence, it's too risky to take action against him."
"I originally wanted to get solid evidence before—but I never expected to almost get myself into trouble."
"You took too much of a risk." Makoto Karuta sighed, his tone reproachful but more concerned. "You should have told me about this first, or told my cousin Yagura."
"Tell you?"
Mei Terumi glanced at him, her eyes somewhat strange: "Lord Yagura must be worried sick. The war has reached this point, and the Mizukage even gave orders to your Mist Blades, but where have you, the captain, gone?"
"If it weren't for Lord Yagura keeping things under control, and the Mizukage found out about this, you'd be in big trouble."
"Well----"
Gouju Cheng choked, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"That's no big deal. The Mizukage position will be ours sooner or later anyway. Cough cough, let's not talk about that. What are you going to do about the pufferfish demon?"
Mei Terumi's expression turned serious again: "We must obtain conclusive evidence as soon as possible and then report to the Mizukage. Every day that Fuguki lives, Kirigakure becomes more dangerous. Especially now, at this critical time of war, his betrayal could cost the lives of countless Kirigakure ninjas."
"only----"
Mei Terumi looked at Makoto Karatachi.
"Makoto, can...can you help me?"
This was the first time she had called his name in such a pleading and expectant tone.
Goji Ju's heart fluttered, but he pretended to be thinking: "I can help you catch a pufferfish demon, but—"
"But what?"
"But you have to answer one question for me first."
Suddenly, Makoto Koji leaned closer, a mischievous smile on his face: "You just saw me display my might, rescuing a damsel in distress. Didn't you think—your man, I'm especially handsome?"
Mei Terumi was taken aback at first, then two barely perceptible blushes appeared on her pretty face, and she glared at him with annoyance.
"What time is it? Stop being so sarcastic!"
But the slight redness at the base of her ears betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
Gouju chuckled and decided to quit while he was ahead.
"Alright, since you're my future wife, I'll help you with this."
What's wrong with your wife is your own business.
Moreover, the pufferfish demon, such a toxic insect, should be eliminated in the first place. The longer it stays, the more harm it will cause to Mist Village.
You dare sell my information? I'll make sure you pay!
