Chapter 89 Getting Rich Thanks to Mist Shadow's Gift
All the Kirigakure Jonin thought the same thing, and to be on the safe side, they even used ninjutsu, either turning themselves into water or adding some powerful defense.
However, all of this was in vain.
The ten kunai fell into the sea, but their speed was completely reduced due to the resistance of the seawater!
With a slight turn, the kunai adjusted its direction and continued towards the group of Jonin!
Seeing the kunai moving at the same speed in the water as it did outside, stirring up the seawater and fiercely heading towards them, the Jonin stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief!
"How is that possible!?"
"Water! Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
These Jonin were still trying to struggle, but no matter what ninjutsu they used, the kunai still pierced through them and went straight into their heads!
Ten Jonin-level figures from Kirigakure, including three elite Jonin and former members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
At this moment, he was just like an ordinary, weak ninja, causing no ripples whatsoever, and died without any value!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and at sea, just as Souji threw his kunai, Sasori began to act.
"Hmph, a bunch of third-rate Kirigakure, be glad you had the chance to see my work!"
Sasori glanced at them with disdain, only to realize what was happening when the Hidden Mist ninja began slowly forming hand seals.
He then took out a sealing scroll and unfurled it.
Gently bite your finger open and press it onto the scroll; multiple figures will fly out from it one after another!
Ten puppets clad in bright red robes hovered in front of sasori.
"Crimson Secret Technique: Crimson Machine Ten-Man Team!"
Sasori extended chakra threads from his ten fingers, connecting them to the Crimson Machine Ten, and gently manipulated them with his hands, causing the Crimson Machine Ten to begin moving with a clattering sound.
"Let's see for ourselves!"
The Crimson Machine Ten assumed a diving posture, and then, as if bursting forth, charged towards the Hidden Mist Ninja's large ship at extremely high speed!
Boom boom boom!
Each puppet landed on a different large ship, and then various weapons such as broadswords, claws, and whips sprang from its body.
With incredible speed, it began to slaughter the Hidden Mist ninjas like a tiger among sheep.
First, they saw the merchant ship take off, and then the ten Jonin leading this operation dived into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
The Hidden Mist Ninja were in a panic, and in the blink of an eye, a group of them were cut down by the Crimson Machine Ten!
"Waaah!"
"Don't panic! Fight back!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"
The Hidden Mist Village reacted quickly and began to respond, unleashing a large number of Water Release ninjutsu.
Occupying the advantage of the sea, the speed, power, and scale of water-style ninjutsu are far greater than those on land.
The Crimson Machine Ten quickly suffered varying degrees of damage, but Sasori didn't care and continued to control the puppets to charge towards the Hidden Mist Village.
Puppets are high-level consumables, and these aren't high-value collectibles, so it's not a big deal to use them until they're completely destroyed.
"If it breaks, I'll just make a new one. It's not my money anyway," sasori thought to himself.
Souji was also constantly throwing kunai to kill Kirigakure. Seeing Sasori so carelessly wasting the puppet, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.
While these puppets are incredibly powerful and highly efficient at killing enemies, completely ignoring damage also results in exorbitant financial costs...
In the distance, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who was observing the situation through binoculars, excitedly crushed the handle of his binoculars!
How could this be?!
How come Umino Rokuro and the others disappeared after diving into the sea?
Could they really be dead...?
Three former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, plus seven Jonin as support, even the Five Kage would have a hard time dealing with such a lineup!
How could someone die without making a sound!
Without the command and leadership of these Jonin powerhouses, even if the remaining ordinary ninjas were numerous, they would be unilaterally slaughtered when facing Mochizuki Souji and that unknown powerful puppeteer!
In just a short time, more than two hundred people have died!
Although nearly half of the ten puppets were damaged... what good would it do to destroy all the puppets!
Mizukage Yagura gritted his teeth in anger, but seeing the situation, he had no choice but to activate the precautionary measures he had taken.
Yagura fired a signal flare into the sky.
Upon seeing the signal flare, the Hidden Mist ninjas hurriedly jumped off the ship and dived into the sea.
Hidden within one of the large ships was a water clone of Yagura Karatachi, who rapidly formed dozens of hand seals and unleashed a large-scale, high-level ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Great Torrent Technique!"
The water clone used all its chakra for this technique, and instantly the seawater surged into huge waves.
The current carried the Hidden Mist ninja who had dived into the sea at an extremely fast speed, retreating towards the Land of Water!
The Hidden Mist Ninjas were all proficient in Water Release ninjutsu, and when they combined their techniques to accelerate, their running speed became astonishing!
"They're running away already?"
The Souji was slightly surprised.
It seemed that Kirigakure was not stupid. Even though they had mobilized such a large force to ambush him, they still knew to keep some backup plans.
"Should we chase after them?" Sasori asked.
"No need. They're running so fast, it'll be a hassle to catch them.
Besides, we've killed so many people, and if we keep chasing them, the Mizukage will probably be so angry he'll come out and kill us himself," Souji said, shaking his head slightly.
"Then let's take down even the Mizukage in one fell swoop!"
"..."
Souji looked at the incredibly arrogant sasori and was speechless.
Isn't this kid getting a little too cocky?
Trying to take on someone else's Kage on their own turf?
Do you really think the Mizukage is a dud?
Although this kid is also a Kage-level, his strongest technique is the iron sand from the Third Kazekage's puppet.
You can't extract any sand at sea; you can only rely on the amount stored inside the puppet.
If the opponent is also a Kage-level opponent, then Sasori is actually at a significant disadvantage.
"No need to chase after them. Let's not cause any more trouble. Let's go to Dragon Island to take care of business first."
"Isn't the goal to eliminate these pirates?"
"Now that we've dealt with those Jonin-level leaders, and we've killed quite a few people just now, this matter is considered complete."
"Those Jonin just now... did you really kill them all?"
"Of course, leave no one alive."
Sasori's eyes looked somewhat strange upon hearing this.
Three former members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, plus seven Jonin—even the Five Kage couldn't easily defeat them.
But Mochizuki Souji... seemingly casually tossing those ordinary kunai, he can instantly kill a Kirigakure Jonin who is most proficient in water-style ninjutsu while he is in the water.
He couldn't figure out how it was done at all
The Souji ignored him and looked at the ten large ships abandoned by the Hidden Mist Village, his eyes shining slightly!
He had anticipated this situation before coming, so he made a point of researching the market.
Such large ships are extremely valuable; each one could fetch at least two million ryo, or even three million ryo!
Ten such ships... that would mean a minimum income of at least twenty million ryo!
This is great! The funding for setting up the film department is finally secured!
