Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Retreat? At this moment? You're not joking, are you?"

Kaguya Rei moved her shoulders and looked calmly at the Konoha ANBU team that had gathered. From those eyes, what Hinata Munakata saw was not a consideration of whether to continue the mission, but a kind of ...It's almost like a predator sizing up its prey.

This made his already solemn expression even darker.

What's going on, this guy from the Kaguya clan...can't he see that he is at an absolute disadvantage?

"The two people you want to take away are the goals of my mission here. If they are allowed to be taken away by you who are hostile to Kirigakure, how will I go back and face the Sandaime who gave me this mission?"

"Why don't you guys return Inoue-senpai to me? In that case, considering your numbers, I can consider letting all of you escape back to Konoha safe and sound. How about that?"

"Are you kidding, you bastard!?"

"You don't understand your current situation, do you, Kirigakure's bastard?"

"Captain, why waste your time with this guy? If we all go together, can't we subdue him alone?"

"That's right, if we can bring his body back to the village, it will be a great achievement for the village, right? That is Kirigakure's unique blood succession limited corpse bone vein, and the people in the corpse research class will definitely be very happy. To receive such precious materials..."

"Captain, give the order!"

Listening to the increasingly radical opinions of the excited subordinates behind him, the mature and steady Hinata Munakata showed no intention of responding at all. He just opened his eyes and was always on guard against Kaguya Rei's every move.

"Hey, don't you plan to reconcile?" Kaguya curled her lips and formed the ugly seal of "Si-Wei" slowly, then closed her eyes and said in an indifferent tone: "Then leave them all here. alright."

"Water Release: Kirigakure's Technique."

Kaguya Rei's chest swelled high, and he breathed out a huge amount of thick mist like a dragon king making clouds and rain. The white mist soaked with a large amount of chakra quickly spread, covering the entire forest where everyone was, and not far away. The ruins of Uzushio Village outside are all covered in it.

Hinata Munakata opened his eyes wide, trying to use Byakugan's outstanding observation ability to get rid of the visual difficulties caused by the Kirigakure Jutsu, but what frightened him was that in this vast land that was so thick that it seemed to turn into liquid. In the fog, his white eyes couldn't even see anything ten meters away.

How much chakra did that guy from the Kaguya clan invest in this Kirigakure technique? ?

"Where are the ninjas who are good at wind escape? Blow away this fog quickly!"

Based on many battle experiences between Konoha and Kirigakure ninjas, Hyuga Munakata quickly made a judgment and shouted at an ANBU who was good at wind escape who was standing not far behind him just now.

"I'm doing it, Captain Munakata! Wind Escape·Da Tu..."

"Shimura!?"

Hearing the sudden disappearance of the ANBU's voice, Hyuga Munakata's eyes narrowed and he immediately rushed to the opponent's location using the teleportation technique. However, when he arrived at his destination, he only saw Goro Shimura's throat and The cold corpse with a completely destroyed heart, and his young face with a look of horror and confusion.

So fast!

Hyuga Munakata decisively took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai given to him by Namikaze Minato from his arms, activated the chakra in it according to the method the other party said, and shouted loudly to the surroundings:

"Everyone activate their Flying Thunder God Kunai and stay where they are! If you find anyone approaching, you can attack directly! That Kirigakure ANBU stole Shimura's mask and cloak, and may approach you disguised as a companion... "

"What are you talking about, the uncle of the Hyuga family?"

Silently, Kaguya Rei's blurry figure appeared behind Hyuga Munakata under a gust of breeze. He held a white bone blade in his back and stabbed Hyuga Munakata's heart without any killing intent. .

"Bagua Kongzhang... Guwa!"

Although Hyuga Munakata discovered his trace at the last moment and reluctantly struck out with a backhand, forcing Kaguya Rei to retreat, but even so, the bone blade still stabbed into his lungs, causing a large amount of damage. The blood poured into it, causing Hyuga Munakata to quickly develop symptoms such as black eyes, difficulty breathing, and it was almost impossible to maintain the open state of the Byakugan.

"Well, you have a blind eye, are you from a separate family? That's really a pity. If it was the Zong family's white eye, I would have made a lot of money..."

Kaguya Rei's regretful voice came from the wind, and then there was no movement.

But this does not make Hyuga Munakata feel at all relaxed, because he knows that if even he, who has the strongest perception in the team, cannot detect Kaguya Rei who launches a surprise attack from the fog, then the ANBU under his command will only They were killed by the opponent without the ability to fight back, and they might not even know how they died.

Although there was silence in Hinata Munakata's ears at this time, and he did not hear any screams belonging to his subordinates coming from the thick fog, the extremely humid air he breathed had a faint smell of blood. , always reminding him that his subordinates were suffering from inhumane and unilateral massacre.

Come quickly, Minato...

No, Lord Minato, please, please arrive in time and save my subordinates...

Hinata Munakata prayed like this. This was the only thing he could do after being seriously injured by Kaguya Rei.

"Rasengan!"

Then without warning, in this silent forest, a young voice that seemed to be the incarnation of warm sunshine sounded.

As the voice fell, a violent explosion broke the silence in the fog. The violent chakra explosion stirred up a small typhoon, quickly blowing away the surrounding fog. Hinata Munakata's body was wrapped in the storm. He flew up and hit the trunk of another big tree, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood, but at this moment, his face finally showed some relief.

Is it finally... coming?

Namikaze...Minato!

"Captain Munakata!? You, are you still alive?"

Hinata Munakata reluctantly raised her head and saw Chizuru Sarutobi falling in front of him with Inuzuka Seo on his back. He saw Inuzuka Seo with his head hanging down and leaning on her shoulder, panting weakly. After discovering that she was still alive, Sarutobi Chizuru was extremely excited and took off the mask on her face. While crying, she began to use palm senjutsu to treat herself.

"Chizuru...where are the others?" Hyuga Munakata asked reluctantly, enduring the stinging pain in his lungs.

"I, I don't know," Chizuru Sarutobi cried unconvincingly, stammering, and said with confused thoughts: "Seo helped me block an attack, and he fainted due to excessive blood loss. When I was looking for it, I saw the bodies of several people...

For example, if Minato-sama had come later, I would have been killed by that person, right? "

"Is this...?"

Hinata Munakata closed his eyes in pain, and the self-blame began to gnaw at his soul crazily.

If I could be stronger and be able to entangle that guy and prevent him from attacking his subordinates at will... If I could realize the danger of the opponent earlier and activate the Flying Thunder God Kunai in advance...

"No, but it's okay." Seeing Hinata Munakata's breathing becoming too rapid due to the violent mood swings, Sarutobi Chizuru had to work hard to stop her crying, and in turn comforted him: "Minato-sama has already We came here, and that guy from the Kaguya clan even took a Rasengan from Lord Minato, so we no longer have to worry about anyone dying..."

…

On the other side, Minato Namikaze, who came from the front of the Land of Thunder, looked at the figure standing up again from the smoke, but the expression on his face was far from as relaxed and confident as Sarutobi Chizuru imagined.

"The touch just now should have been a complete hit...but why, why can he stand up so easily?"

"Hiss, yellow flash? Tsk, when I heard that guy talking about the Flying Thunder God Kunai, I was already speeding up, but I didn't expect to be caught up by him..."

Rei Kaguya, who stood up from a pile of fallen trees, looked at Namikaze Minato who was facing a formidable enemy, and then looked at his chest, which had been twisted into a vortex after being hit by the Rasengan. The skin and periosteum were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he exhaled a breath of fear.

Good guy, Master Men's second-stage Flying Thunder God Rasengan actually knocked out 5% of my health bar! ?

Grandma, it seems that the flesh that can only be supported by the [Immortal Grip] is not enough.

I hope the rewards from this mission can draw some runes related to blood volume and resistance.

Kaguya Rei thought as she pulled off the Konoha ANBU windbreaker that was no different from rags.

There will definitely be a double update, but it’s hard to say when it will be updated...
