Chapter 109 The Death of the Fourth Mizukage
With the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist wiped out, a brief silence fell over the battlefield.
Needless to say, the Hidden Mist Village, which held the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in high esteem, was also stunned by what they saw.
Although the exchange was brief, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were extremely skilled in both ninjutsu and taijutsu.
In particular, each of them wielded a specially crafted ninja sword, and despite being outnumbered, they were able to fight against many opponents.
Their combat prowess left a deep impression on them.
But such a powerful enemy just died like that?
Mochizuki Souji just casually tossed a few kunai at him!
That's taking down five such powerful elite Jonin in one fell swoop!?
The ninjas who witnessed this scene, whether from Kirigakure or Konoha, were momentarily stunned by their shock.
The pursuing Mizukage was in the same boat, but after his brain realized the truth, he immediately flew into a rage!
"Damn it! Mochizuki Souji!"
The Mizukage was furious, letting out a near-mad roar as he chased after the giant crow summon while his hands were constantly forming hand seals, attempting to unleash a powerful ninjutsu.
This time, however, Souji looked at him calmly.
"Go on, Ryunosuke, it's time to deal with the Mizukage."
"Huh? Take down the Mizukage?"
Both Sasori and Ryunosuke were somewhat bewildered.
Weren't we dodging their shadows? Why are we suddenly taking the initiative?
Souji didn't explain much, and seeing this, Ryunosuke had no choice but to do as he was told and fly towards the water shadow.
The Souji took out a kunai and was about to throw it.
Just then, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in my heart.
Crisis awareness!
Sure enough, a beam of light, a mixture of three colors and possessing an astonishing aura, suddenly appeared and shot fiercely towards Souji!
"This is..."
Both the Souji and the water lily were startled.
Someone actually launched a sneak attack at this time?
The beam of light came extremely fast, and Souji could only throw kunai in this direction to block it.
The beams of light were not as large as the Tailed Beast Ball.
Souji threw several kunai in succession and easily blocked all the beams with the effect of chakra suppression.
At this moment, Souji also saw the attacker's appearance clearly.
It was a man wearing a black mask, exuding an evil aura.
"Kakuzu?"
Souji was somewhat surprised. How did Kakuzu suddenly appear?
However, now is not the time to think about these things.
Kakuzu is currently in a dazed and confused state because his ultimate move, a chakra cannon composed of wind, fire, and lightning attributes, is ineffective.
The Mizukage had also finished his grand ninjutsu. Water bullets that transformed into dragon shapes kept rising from the sea and were fired one after another.
However, just like before, they couldn't hit Ryunosuke, who was focused on dodging.
Taking advantage of this moment, Souji threw two kunai at Kakuzu.
The kunai seemed to have a life of its own; with a slight swerve, it flew straight towards Kakuzu!
"Snort!"
Kakuzu snapped out of his daze and used the Body Flicker Technique, his figure flashing repeatedly as he moved away at an extremely fast speed.
He seized the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack the moment Mochizuki Souji was focused on facing the Mizukage and was about to make a move.
But Mochizuki Souji was able to react in time and even used that strange technique to block his three-attribute chakra bombardment .
Since the attack failed, there's nothing more to say. Although it's a real pity we didn't get the 50 million, we can only follow the original plan and leave immediately after the failed sneak attack.
Seeing the two kunai flying towards him, Kakuzu's eyes flickered.
Although I felt solemn, I was not flustered.
Even though he had just witnessed these kunai easily wipe out the famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kakuzu still did not believe they could pose a threat to him.
The Earthly Grudge granted him five hearts, meaning he could not die until all his hearts were destroyed.
Kakuzu repeatedly used the Body Flicker Technique to escape at top speed, and the two kunai also accelerated to catch up, piercing into Kakuzu's arms respectively.
"Hmph! A mere arm, you can damage it however you want... What!?"
Two sharp cracking sounds rang out.
Kakuzu's two Earth Grudge Masks exploded!
These masks of the Earth Grudge represent both the hearts he has seized and the many lives he has relied on.
The explosion of two means he lost his life twice!
Each kunai could kill him once!
Upon realizing this fact, Kakuzu felt a little flustered for the first time!
At this moment, Sasori had his puppet carry him and fly over, calling out to Kakuzu from afar:
"Kakuto is right?
Mochizuki Souji told you not to leave yet. He's dealt with the Mizukage, and he has something to say to you."
"Tell me what you have to say..."
Kakuzu muttered to himself as he watched Sasori release multiple puppets.
Given this puppeteer's skill level, even if he could defeat him, it would definitely take a considerable amount of time... He wouldn't be able to escape.
"Looks like I've lost today... Oh well, let's hear what Mochizuki Souji has to say."
After thinking it over, Kakuzu gave up resisting and stood there waiting obediently.
At the same time.
Ryunosuke skillfully dodged the multiple water dragon bullets, and Souji took the opportunity to lightly throw a kunai.
As always, Kunu immediately adjusted his direction and flew towards the Mizukage as soon as he made his move.
"Hmph! Another kunai!"
Like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Mizukage wanted to use a method that could break through defenses by inflicting minor injuries. In fact, he had just used this method not long ago to successfully deflect Souji's attack.
"Unfortunately... It's useless this time, Mizukage!"
With a smile, Souji watched as the Mizukage changed his movements and postures, but this time he was unable to block the kunai, and couldn't even touch it!
Mizukage was unable to shake off the kunai aimed at his head!
"Ah! Impossible! What kind of technique is this!?"
Seeing the kunai that had already come to her, the Mizukage seemed to realize her fate and couldn't help but let out a desperate scream of resentment!
Amidst screams, the kunai, as always, pierced through the forehead in an unremarkable manner.
The sound of the water's shadow stopped abruptly, and it lost its life. Its body swayed and fell off the back of the Yatagarasu.
One of the Five Kage of the Shinobi World, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.
He died in battle!
Because of the series of astonishing changes, both Kirigakure and Konoha almost forgot about the battle for a moment, focusing solely on the epic battle between Souji and the Mizukage.
At this moment, everyone watched as the Mizukage fell from the sky into the sea. After a moment of deathly silence, a Kirigakure ninja finally cried out in alarm!
"Lord Mizukage!"
"Lord Mizukage, he..."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That's the Mizukage! The Kage of Kirigakure!"
"Lord Mizukage cannot possibly lose!"
The gasps of shock from the Hidden Mist ninja, refusing to accept reality, rose and fell.
Actually, he didn't lose; the Mizukage is already dead.
Thinking this, the Souji looked down at the chaotic Mist Village from his high vantage point.
Having lost the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they also lost the Mizukage, the strongest man in Kirigakure and a figure of spiritual faith.
Even though the Hidden Mist Ninja still numbered over ten thousand at this point, they were nothing more than a rabble that posed no threat whatsoever.
