Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 222: Cunning Villain!

The Land of Whirlpool is not too far from the coastline of the Land of Fire.

The Kirigakure who were still cleaning up the battlefield basically noticed the violent explosion coming from afar.

Moreover, the huge pit created by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki detonating the Tailed Beast Bomb in the front-line camp was still in front of everyone, so naturally they knew what was happening.

Many people looked in the direction of the explosion in surprise.

Only the Third Mizukage, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and receiving treatment from Kaito, seemed indifferent to the sudden explosion.

Only Kaito, who was closest to him, could vaguely hear the calm voice of the Third Mizukage.

"Did the fight start?"

Kaito was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted to what the Third Mizukage said. He looked in the direction of the explosion and replied subconsciously.

"It seems like a fight has broken out."

However, the Third Mizukage showed no reaction, so Kaito had no choice but to continue the treatment.

But his mind was still thinking about the explosion just now.

'Is it possible that they are fighting with Konoha? There is probably no one else so close.'

'But judging by the power of the explosion, it might be a fully-powered Tailed Beast Bomb. Apart from Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God, it seems that no one in Konoha can withstand this kind of attack head-on.'

'These bastards better have their brains beaten out.'

Kaito himself did not notice that after such a long period of assimilation, his thinking was getting closer and closer to the Kirigakure side.

The Third Mizukage opened his narrowed eyes slightly, looked at the little devil who dared to be distracted while treating him, and coughed lightly twice.

"Kaito boy, focus on healing!"

Kaito broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly gathered his mind in embarrassment, trying to practice the Mystical Palm Jutsu with all his strength.

By the time the surrounding ninjas had cleaned up the battlefield one after another, Kaito had almost stabilized the Third Mizukage's injuries temporarily. At least, except for being unable to fight for a short period of time, he could move normally.

At this time, many senior ninjas had already gathered there, and Kaito noticed that Kushimaru, who had appeared before, was missing an arm. His left arm disappeared at the elbow, and was wrapped in bandages all the way up to the shoulder.

Just looking at the bandage marks on his body, it didn't look like he had just been injured and treated, and the other people around him didn't seem surprised at all.

'Did he get injured two days ago? I was only on this mission for five or six days. How many things happened? Why does it feel like I was out for months?'

Seeing that Kaito stopped his hand movements, the Third Mizukage also sat up. Although many of the Third Mizukage's injuries were only simply treated by Kaito, which could not be considered a complete treatment, he concealed them very well.

Only Kaito knew what kind of pain this old man was enduring beneath his calm appearance.

Grabbing a clean coat and putting it on, the Third Mizukage looked around at the Kirigakure Ninjas around him, almost all of whom were injured, and spoke slowly.

"What are the casualties?"

The ninjas around were all of Jonin strength, and the Blood Mist Ninjas were usually more arrogant than each other, but at this moment, facing this old man who had lost his fighting ability, they all lowered their heads. No one, including Yagura, answered.

After the low pressure lasted for a while, the Third Mizukage continued to speak.

"Send sensory ninjas and reconnaissance teams to guard the area around the Land of Whirlpool."

"Kushimaru, arrange two teams of Anbu to take a look at the battlefield over there. Just keep a distance and observe."

The Third Mizukage then looked in the direction of the former front-line camp, which had turned into a huge pit.

"The rest of you will set up a temporary camp first."

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Yes!" xN

Several senior ninjas with official positions immediately dispersed to arrange their work. Even Ai, the leader of the Perception Unit, did not fall behind and went to cooperate in organizing the defense task.

Kaito found the right opportunity and trotted over to Harusame, asking in a low voice about what had happened in the past few days.

According to the description of Harusame.

Four days ago, it was not long since Kaito left to carry out a mission.

The frontline camp of the Kirigakure Village has just begun to move towards the territory of the Land of Fire.

As Konohagakure continued to shrink, the Kirigakure Village's new front-line camp went directly deep into the inland of the Land of Fire, and at the same time prepared to build a ground catapult for the Flying Unit in the new camp.

However, the camp was only half built when it came under a fierce attack from the Kumogakure Village.

That's right, the ones who attacked the Kirigakure Troops were not Konohagakure Troops, whose territory was occupied, but the ninjas from the Kumogakure Village who were also fighting against Konohagakure.

The front line also learned later that on the same day, the Kumogakure Village sneaked into the Land of Water and attacked the Kirigakure Village.

On the front line, a large number of ninjas were dispatched from the Kumogakure Village, led by the Third Raikage, who directly destroyed the unfinished Kirigakure camp and also destroyed the ground catapult device that was being built, forcing Yagura to lead his team back to Land of Whirlpool.

As for the local area of the Kirigakure Village.

In Harusame's words, 'These bastards from Kumogakure are too insidious and cunning.'

The Kumogakure Village temporarily sealed the Two-Tails in the body of an unknown ninja and sneaked into the Kirigakure Village.

The Two-Tails then broke out of the seal near the Mizukage Building, causing quite a commotion. This gave the AB team the opportunity to break through the village's outer defenses and launch a second attack.

The two tailed beasts were wreaking havoc at the same time, especially one of them was a perfect jinchūriki with rich combat experience, causing considerable casualties to the Kirigakure Village.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage was very powerful, and with the help of a large number of reserve troops and ninja clan, they were able to finally repel the attackers.

Kaito couldn't help but worry when he heard this and clenched his fists tightly.

There are many people he cares about in the village, including Aunt Keiko, Old Man Shimotsuki, Utakata, and the bosses who often carry out tasks for him.

However, Kaito also knew that Harusame did not know these people and could not find out about their safety from him.

'Damn you Kumogakure bastards! You better hope they're okay!!'

Kaito wanted to fly back to the Kirigakure Village immediately at this moment, but he also knew that his broken "Revival Blessing" could only revive people who died within 24 hours. Now four days had passed, and even if something really happened, it would be useless for him to rush back.

Kaito had to grit his teeth and continue listening to Harusame's information.

During the attack that day, after the Third Mizukage repelled the enemy, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture the ownerless Two-Tails and seal it, so that the Kumogakure Village would suffer a loss.

However, the Fourth-generation Ai used a strange ninja tool to seal the Two-Tails again.

The Third Mizukage simply led his team in pursuit, and finally caught up with the Third Raikage's second attack on the front-line Land of Whirlpool camp.

Kaito also knew what happened afterwards.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, completely destroying the entire front-line camp of Kirigakure and causing countless casualties.

"Are these bastards from Kumogakure crazy?!!"
