Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 220: Kumogakure Troops Retreat

"Lightning Style: Thunder Blade!"

The Fourth-generation Ai somehow got rid of the entanglement of Karatachi Yagura and appeared behind the Third Mizukage.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Third Mizukage had just finished performing a ninjutsu, the iron elbow wrapped in lightning power slashed towards his neck rapidly.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage, as a veteran strong man who had fought all the way from the Warring States Period, did not let down his guard even at this moment, and released a water style technique without a seal the moment the Fourth-generation Ai approached.

"Water Style: Water Stream Shield"

The high-speed rotating water flow quickly twisted and took shape behind the Third Mizukage, condensing into a giant round shield.

However, such a hasty defense could not completely block the Fourth-generation Ai's fierce elbow attack. After the Lightning Style: Thunder Blade blasted the water shield apart, it still slashed fiercely on the Third Mizukage.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The Third Mizukage's body bent into a strange posture in the air and was directly blown away by this heavy blow.

"Third Mizukage-sama!"

"Mizukage-sama!!"

Several Kirigakure ninjas around, including Karatachi Yagura, forcibly broke away from their opponents and rushed forward to intercept the subsequent offensive of the Fourth-generation Ai.

Thanks to the fact that the Lightning Chakra mode of the Fourth-generation Ai was far less powerful than that of the Third Raikage, he was stopped by a series of Water Style Ninjutsu and continued to collide with Karatachi Yagura.

The Third Mizukage was thrown out and bounced several times on the ground before he stopped.

The Third Mizukage spat out a mouthful of blood with a "Wow~" and endured the pain to gather Yang attribute chakra in his palm to stabilize his injuries.

If the water shield had not slowed down the Fourth Mizukage's speed and deflected the direction of the attack at the last moment, the Third Mizukage would probably have been beheaded and died on the spot.

Even so, the Third Mizukage had completely lost his ability to move at this time, and he did not know any medical ninjutsu. He relied on a little trick passed down from the Warring States Period to concentrate chakra to stabilize his injuries. If he was not treated in time, he would soon die from excessive blood loss.

Seeing that the Fourth-generation Ai was stopped by Karatachi Yagura again, several Kirigakure ninjas immediately came forward to protect the Third Mizukage.

One of them saw the injuries of the Third Mizukage and spoke hurriedly.

"Gale Wing is over there, follow me!"

The man stepped forward, carefully carried the Third Mizukage on his back, and ran in the direction of Kaito.

However, the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas also saw what was happening with the Third Mizukage, so it was naturally impossible for them to let the seriously injured enemy leader go so easily.

The two groups started an even bloodier and fierce fight around the people escorting the Third Mizukage.

Countless limbs and arms were flying everywhere, and Kirigakure and others finally brought the Third Mizukage all the way to the area where Kaito was.

"Jonin Mirukawa! Over here!"

The shouts were heard before anyone arrived.

Kaito, who was treating the wounded, also noticed the fierce fighting gradually approaching him. However, Kaito did not expect that the core of the fight was actually because of the injured Third Mizukage.

"Jōnin Mirukawa! Hurry and treat the Mizukage!"

The jonin who was carrying the Third Mizukage on his back had just laid him flat on the ground, and before Kaito could start checking the Third Mizukage's injuries.

In the distance, a large amount of smoke and dust was rising, and the familiar sound of thunder was rushing towards this side again from far away.

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the Fourth-generation Ai appeared, and pointed his finger like a knife directly at the fallen Third Mizukage.

Without waiting for anyone else to make any move, the Third Mizukage lying on the ground stretched out his left hand, spread out his five fingers towards the Fourth Ai, and then clenched his fingers into a fist.

Dozens of streams of water broke out of the ground and condensed into water whips that wrapped around the Fourth-generation Ai who was sprinting.

At first, the few water whips were torn into countless water splashes the moment they wrapped around the Fourth-generation Ai, but then more water whips wrapped around the Fourth-generation Ai, causing his speed to decrease continuously, until finally he was wrapped around by dense water whips and was firmly trapped in place, unable to move.

At this time, Kisame and Ao, who had been guarding near Kaito, were the first to react.

In the hand of one of them, the Hiramekarei condensed into a huge blade, and in the palm of the other one, a rapidly rotating spiral water spike appeared. The two of them attacked the immobilized Fourth-generation Ai from the left and right.

Seeing the opportunity, Kaito immediately formed a seal and released the "Oblivion Wing".

Unfortunately, the next second, a huge shadow passed over everyone's heads, and a loud "boom" hit the field, raising endless smoke and dust, and the air wave blew everyone back half a step.

Then a huge strange hand stretched out from the smoke and dust to protect the Fourth-generation Ai, and took the attacks of the two people with only a broken finger.

A beam of green light passed between Ao and Kisame and hit the finger, but it was immediately stopped by Kaito to avoid wasting chakra.

Looking through the gaps between his fingers, he saw only a few gray marks on the finger, and the petrification speed was as slow as a turtle. Kaito couldn't help but curse inwardly.

'Fuck, infinite lifespan! Chakra life form!'

The Eight-Tails quickly picked up the Fourth-generation Ai with its palm, and used brutal force to tear off all the water whips wrapped around his body.

Afterwards, the smoke cleared, and the eight-tailed bull head opened its huge mouth towards everyone, with a faint black light forming in its mouth.

Fortunately, at this moment four figures flew across the sky, and countless explosives fell from the sky onto the head of the Eight-Tails.

"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~"

Explosions continued to sound, and although they failed to actually injure the Eight-Tails, they caused his head to tilt back, interrupting the "Ink Cannon" that was charging.

The eight huge octopus tails of the Eight-Tails, whose spell casting was interrupted, quickly slapped around, blew away all the surrounding Kirigakure Ninjas, and then quickly retreated and distanced itself from the crowd, and then put the Fourth-generation Ai in its hand on the ground.

The two members of group AB just stood there and looked at everyone.

With such a big commotion here, the two villages's ninjas fighting nearby immediately distanced themselves from their opponents and gathered behind their leaders to start a confrontation.

It was not until this time that Yagura, who was supposed to be responsible for intercepting the Fourth-generation Ai, finally arrived.

The Third Mizukage merely kept his gaze on Yagura for a moment and said nothing more. He patted Kaito's shoulder and stood up with his help.

The Fourth-generation Ai's pupils suddenly shrank.

The hideous wound on the Third Mizukage's waist had somehow healed to its original state, without a trace left.

Thinking of some specious information he had obtained before, the Fourth-generation Ai was silent for a moment with an ugly expression, then growled through gritted teeth.

"Kumogakure troops, retreat!"

As he spoke, a large number of flares rose into the air.

After seeing the retreat signal, the Kumogakure Ninjas who were still fighting in the distance left their opponents behind and quickly rushed to the edge of the Land of Whirlpool.

As for the Kirigakure ninjas who were already on the brink of collapse, few chose to continue the pursuit except for a few war maniacs from the Kaguya clan, and most of them collapsed on the spot due to exhaustion.
