Chapter 39: Own People(1/2)
"Excellent!"
Looking at his teammates who were first used as a shield and then stabbed by Kisame's sword,
Matsuyuki Yumi and the slightly chubby Kirin-nin looked livid.
This kind of action of killing teammates in exchange for opportunities has awakened very bad memories for them!
Since the Fourth Mizukage came to power in the Mist Ninja Village, it has implemented a high-pressure and cruel rule policy. The last selection for graduating from the ninja school is to kill other members of the team to obtain graduation qualifications.
In this day and age, any Kirist ninja who can graduate from a ninja school will naturally have his hands stained with the blood of his companions.
But they had no choice. From Matsuyuki Yumi's point of view, with Kisame's ability, there were obviously more options, but in the end he chose the most cruel but most effective one!
Is the life of a companion so cheap?
Matsuyuki Yumi kept asking herself in her heart, but no matter how she tried to find reasons to convince herself, her final answer was no!
To this day, she can still recall the way her companion fell in front of her with a look of relief before graduation!
That day she truly became a glorious Mist Ninja, but that kind of Mist Ninja was not what she wanted at all.
‘The Blood Mist’ shouldn’t exist!
Mist Ninja Village shouldn’t be like this!
In the past, she had no power or opportunity to change. It was not until the emergence of infinite Internet that she saw a glimmer of hope!
However, before everything started, another companion died in his own hands!
Stab!
The harsh current interrupted Matsuyuki Yumi's memories!
Matsuyuki Yumi turned her attention to Kisame, only to see crazy electric currents running around!
Kakashi, who had just been pierced through the abdomen by Kisame, instantly turned into a ball of thunder and lightning!
The powerful electric current wrapped around Kisame along the blade in the blink of an eye!
It’s Lei’s clone!
Matsuyuki Yumi's eyes suddenly widened!
Kisame groaned and stared at a location next to him with electric light flashing all over his body!
Kakashi slowly emerged from the water soaked all over. One of his hands was wrapped with a bolt of lightning, connected to the lightning clone not far away.
"When?"
Kisame asked with difficulty, and when he opened his mouth, he blew out a mouthful of white smoke.
Phew!
Suck!
Kakashi gasped for breath, and after a while he said:
"When you first attack!"
The battle had just begun. When Toru Watanabe and Itachi used water dragon bullets to counterattack, it was ineffective. When everyone was swept under the water by Kisame's shark bombs, Kakashi replaced himself with a lightning clone at that time, and he kept lurking under the water to look for opportunities.
The reason why the clone launched the attack recklessly just now was because he had reached the limit of holding his breath underwater.
Not to mention Kisame and the others, even Uchiha Itachi, who has the Sharingan, couldn't see the flaw in Kakashi's thunder clone.
Using the lightning clone consumed most of Kakashi's chakra. Fortunately, this attack had an effect. Not only did it kill an enemy, it also caused some damage to Kisame!
"As expected of Kakashi, I underestimated you!"
Kisame gritted his teeth and removed his hand from the handle of the knife. Just when Kakashi was about to take advantage of the victory, Yumi Matsuyuki stood in front of Kisame.
Within a few rounds of the fight between the two, the girl was kicked out by Kakashi. After a few seconds of breathing, Kisame clenched his hands and regained basic mobility.
The corpse of his companion slowly sank into the water, and Kisame ignored it. He stared at Kakashi with some reluctance:
"We lost this time, but you don't want to win either!"
"Withdraw!"
Kisame greeted Matsuyuki Yumi and the others and retreated first. Kakashi and the others were about to pursue them when suddenly several palms stretched out from the water and grabbed their ankles!
"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!"
A large amount of water surged up from the feet of Watanabe Tetsu and the others and enveloped them. The clones that Kisame had left behind at some point surfaced. These clones maintained the water prison and created time for the main body to retreat!
A strong feeling of suffocation came, and his feet suddenly lost their focus. Toru Watanabe didn't like the feeling of being completely submerged in the water. Yugao next to him showed pain. Toru Watanabe no longer hesitated, and the chakra spread directly.
Come and fill the entire water prison!
Seizing control of the water flow, Toru Watanabe held Xiyan in one hand and formed a seal with the other,
"Water Escape·Water Rushing Waves!"
The water flow in the water prison was controlled by Toru Watanabe to rotate and rise like a tornado. When he guessed the water surface again, the young man stretched out his hand and waved.
The waterspout immediately swept towards Kisame's clones. Because the clones controlled the water prison and could not move at all, Watanabe Toru easily defeated all the clones.
Kakashi and Itachi escaped from the water prison, called Toru Watanabe, and pursued Kisame and the others without thinking.
Kisame and his party did not choose to move towards the sea, but kept moving towards the mountain in the center of the island.
Kakashi and Itachi chased after each other. Because there were injured people, even if they were delayed for a while by the water prison, soon, as soon as they entered a forest, they saw the fat mist ninja falling behind in the distance!
"I can't do it anymore, you go away quickly!"
The fat mist ninja was pale and his figure was shaky. Blood was pouring out from his broken arm, and half of his body was dyed red.
"Keep on holding on, there are garrison troops near Shangwei Island. If there was such a big movement before, there will definitely be support!"
Matsuyuki Yumi showed her unbearable expression, and the teammates she had been with day and night fell down one by one. Even though she had learned to suppress her feelings after graduating from the ninja school, familiar faces kept disappearing.
That kind of inner pain cannot be eliminated by willpower alone!
"I really can't hold on any longer. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for support..."
The scene in front of me was in a daze, and as soon as I finished speaking, the fat mist ninja fell from the tree to the ground in a flash.
The figures of Kakashi and Itachi were getting closer and closer. The fat mist ninja panted heavily and leaned against the tree trunk to wait for his fate.
Coming!
The mist ninja tried his best to keep his eyes open, but Kakashi was already less than twenty meters away from him. He picked up the kunai and wanted to make a final counterattack, but he tried several times by grabbing the tree trunk, and he couldn't even get up!
Whoosh!
At this moment, a whistle sounded, and a kunai with a burning tail flame was nailed in front of the fat Mist Ninja!
A detonating talisman was hanging on the end of the kunai and burning quietly. The fat mist ninja turned his head and met Kisame's unwavering eyes from a distance.
Boom!
The flames rose and roared, startling countless birds in the woods.
Kakashi and Itachi avoided the impact of the detonating talisman, and looked at the mangled and lifeless Mist ninja on the ground, completely silent.
"Let's go!"
Kakashi took a long breath and said hello to Itachi.
He couldn't comment on the right or wrong of Kisame's actions. He only knew that if he hadn't met Obito, he might have become the same person as him.
Those who break the rules are trash, and those who don’t cherish their companions are worse than trash!
He remembered the young man's roar very clearly, but now the other person could only be in his memory.
Kakashi and Itachi continued to chase, while Toru Watanabe and Yugao stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.
There was nothing valuable on the dead Mist Ninja, so after careful inspection, the two of them did not deal with it.
The previous battle almost destroyed half of the residential area. Even if most of them realized something was wrong and ran away, a few were eventually involved in the battle.
Seeing countless people kneeling on the ground crying and howling, Watanabe Toru and Xi Yan did not dare to show their faces at all.
Ordinary people are so cruel when facing ninjas. What they strive for their whole life may be destroyed in a battle between ninjas.
Wealth, family, life, in this world, civilians have no guarantee.
All they can do is beg and beg for bad luck not to happen to them.
"We should move the battlefield..."
Seeing the scene of bodies being dug out from the rubble and countless people crying and crying around, Xiyan felt a little depressed.
Watanabe Tetsuya didn't know how to comfort him. Ninja battles were life-and-death battles, so he couldn't care less about the feelings of ordinary people.
Giving ordinary people time to escape before a battle is already the result of the ideological education carried out by major ninja villages. If it were placed in the Warring States Period, a village could be killed in a ninja battle casually. That is not nonsense in the records.

"Now that your chakra is exhausted, take a rest here first. I'm afraid of an accident with Kakashi, so I have to rush there as soon as possible!"
After finding a hidden place, Toru Watanabe said to Xiyan.
Xi Yan said: "Don't worry about me, just go ahead and be careful!"
To be continued...
