Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 217 Tailed Beast Bomb

Looking at Zabuza's departing back, Kaito's back had actually been completely soaked with sweat.

The feeling was even more exciting than fighting Minato.

The main thing is that it doesn't matter if Zabuza is exposed, since he won't be the one to suffer social disobedience anyway.

If "Mōichido" is exposed, he will have no choice but to defect!

At that time, he might even come up with a "Kirigakure Collapse Plan" or "Let the Land of Water Feel Pain" to erase all traces.

'I can't let you expose me again! I'm doing this to protect Kirigakure from being destroyed!'

Thinking of this, Kaito's mood finally calmed down, and then he was immediately moved by himself.

'I really love the Kirigakure Village.'

Kaito even seemed to feel a beam of holy light shining on him, and he began to feel dizzy.

"Click~"

Before Mei finished her meal and walked out of the cabin, she helped Kaito turn off the lights in the house.

She also didn't forget to give another instruction.

"You are weak, so go to bed early. Ao-sensei will help with other things."

After turning around and leaving, Mei vaguely heard strange words coming from inside the door, such as "What's the 'hollow'?!" and "Can weakness and hollow be the same?"

A playful smile appeared on Mei's face.

Zabuza would notice this book because of the author's pseudonym, but wouldn't others notice it?

All this is just a minor episode after all.

The next morning.

After a whole day of resting and replenishing energy, Kaito finally recovered to most of his condition.

He even vaguely felt that his physical fitness had improved slightly.

He just doesn't know if this is the improvement brought about by repeated exploitation, or an illusion after recovering from weakness.

After arriving on the deck, he saw Kisame practicing sword swinging there.

However, when he saw Kaito coming forward, Kisame stopped what he was doing.

The two men stood facing each other, and then Kaito was the first to laugh and stretched out his right arm.

Kisame also grinned and showed his fangs. The two of them bumped their fists together. There was no need to thank each other, as everything was said without words.

"By the way, have you seen Ao-sensei?"

After Kaito recovered, he came out mainly to find Ao to find out about the current situation, but he happened to meet Kisame and asked him casually.

"Ao-san is in the captain's cabin."

Kisame waved his finger, and if his tone hadn't been very polite, people who didn't know would have thought he was going to chop Ao.

In the captain's room, looking at Ao's back as he stared at the nautical chart, Kaito asked.

"Ao-sensei, how long will it take us to get back to the camp?"

At this time, Ao turned around, his face visibly filled with fatigue. Even Kaito, who had just recovered from a weak state, looked better than him.

"We'll be there tonight, do you want to go and rest for a while?"

"Um, Ao-sensei, I think you need more rest than me. How long have you not slept?"

Ao did not answer Kaito's question, but stared at the map in front of him again.

After a while, Ao suddenly spoke.

"The Ninja Owl sent to the village has returned."

"?"

Kaito was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face and he asked.

"Any instructions from the village? Any information about the situation at the frontline camp?"

Because Kaito was going out on a mission this time, the main contact was naturally the front-line camp. However, there was no response from the front-line camp two days ago. Later, Ao had no choice but to contact the village directly. However, due to the distance, the Ninja Owl was obviously much slower this time.

But at least there was a response, so everyone wasn't left completely in the dark.

However, Ao's answer was.

"No."

Kaito was down again.

"What do you mean? No instructions from the village?"

Ao shook his head with an unpleasant expression and replied in a dull voice.

"There is no news. The Ninja Owl flew out with the letter two days ago and flew back intact."

Kaito only felt a buzzing sound in his head.

"Something happened in the village too? Impossible!"

Rather than thinking that there were problems at both the front-line camp and the Kirigakure Village, Kaito would rather believe that there was a problem with the Ninja Owl equipped on the second ship.

The front-line camps are still okay. After all, they are currently facing pressure from both Konohagakure and Kumogakure. They are like a powder keg ready to explode at any time. Even if they are suddenly flattened, it can only be said to be a slight surprise.

However, the Kirigakure Village now has the Third Mizukage in charge, and nearly half of the ninja forces of the Kirigakure Village are still in the village to perform routine tasks, guard, and rest. The major ninja families also have a large number of non-combat personnel on standby in the village.

Now Ao actually said that the Kirigakure Village has lost contact?

Kaito felt like he hadn't woken up yet.

"Ao-sensei, how about I fly back to the front-line camp first to check the situation?"

Although the equipment of a few of the previous flying ninjas was still intact, the flying unit was not suitable for long-distance flights and naturally could not conduct preliminary exploration.

However, Kaito's strength has recovered 70% to 80% at this moment, and the flying speed of the "Gale Wings" is still much faster than that of the ship.

"That's not necessary. Even if something does happen, it's useless if you go there alone."

In fact, not to mention that it would be useless for Kaito to go there alone, if there was really any problem in the front-line camp, even if all the crew members of the No. 2 ship arrived instantly, it would not change anything.

After all, there are less than a hundred people on this ship now, and the most important flying squadron has lost the core equipment that made it famous, so the impact it can have on the overall battle situation is minimal.

The atmosphere remained depressing for the entire afternoon, although the others did not know that contact had also been lost in the direction of the village.

However, the low pressure of the two commanders still made everyone else feel much heavier. But at this time, Kaito and Ao didn't have the leisure to calm the others down.

"Captain Mirukawa, Jonin Ao. We are about to approach the vicinity of the Land of Whirlpool. Should we head towards the original Land of Whirlpool camp, or should we head towards the new camp location mentioned by the command center before the mission?"

The captain of the ship turned and looked at Kaito and Ao, waiting for instructions from his superiors.

However, when the captain turned around, he only saw the two people's horrified looks, and no one spoke.

At this moment, the two of them looked out through the glass of the captain's room with their pupils constricted.

First, a dazzling light appeared on the sea level in the distance, freezing everything. Then, an extremely huge mushroom cloud rose slowly and began to expand at an incredible speed.

The mushroom cloud produced by the 'Egg Bomb' that Kaito once released with double chakra was completely the size of his grandchildren in front of this explosion.

It was not until a loud 'boom' was heard that everyone came to their senses.

"That's the front-line camp!" Ao said with a trembling voice.

And Kaito on the side also clenched his fists slightly.

"The Tailed Beast Bomb!"
