What Suigetsu Hobuki was concerned about was not the damage that Yekura's sudden appearance had caused to the Hidden Mist ninja.
Where in war is there no death?
Many ninja from Kirigakure have died.
Furthermore, they also killed many ninjas from Sunagakure.
What Sushiyama Fuguki was concerned about was that what happened today completely overlapped with the content of Sushiyama Butterfly Dream, making it impossible for Sushiyama Fuguki to believe it was a coincidence.
"The timing of the news of Yekura's evacuation is exactly the same as in Butterfly Dream."
"Ye Cang did not truly leave, but instead hid in the shadows and suddenly appeared to launch a surprise attack on the Kirigakure army. This is exactly the same as in Butterfly Dream."
Soon after, the Sand Village ninjas, without falling into a disadvantageous position, chose to retreat.
This made the face of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon even more gloomy.
Something's not right, something's very wrong.
"Three points already, it can't be a coincidence."
"If it's not a coincidence, then what could it be?"
"Prediction?"
"Did the butterfly see what would happen in its dream?"
"Will I be killed by the Kusanagi-no-Yaman?"
"That beast!"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon cursed at Kusakabe Norito in his heart.
"We are both ninjas from Kirigakure, both members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and both work for the Mizukage. Because of our discord, he directly tried to kill me and deliberately sent my subordinate ninjas to act as the main force to wear me down."
"And he was right there, not only leisurely waiting to share the spoils of victory, but also waiting for me to lower my guard to kill me."
"That's outrageous!"
"We absolutely cannot let him have his way."
With a single thought, Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon immediately ordered a retreat.
"Lord Fugu Demon, shouldn't we press our advantage?"
Suigetsu Hozuki glanced at the ninja indifferently, and a thought involuntarily arose in his mind.
There is suspicion that this ninja might also be one of the people who met Kusano.
Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to issue the order to retreat?
"The Sunagakure army did not fall into a disadvantageous position, but instead took the initiative to retreat. There must be a trap involved. If we rashly pursue them, we will only fall into a trap. It is better not to pursue them than to pursue them."
"The advantage lies with Kirigakure. No matter what, the final victory will definitely belong to us. There's no need to rush."
"Pass on my order: everyone, return to your base."
At Suigetsu Hobuki's command, all the Kirigakure ninjas immediately stopped their pursuit and returned to their temporary base.
Upon returning to the temporary base, Suigetsu Hozuki immediately found Suigetsu Choko, his expression serious.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Suigetsu Hozuki did not bring his wife with him during this surprise attack on the Sunagakure army.
Therefore, Suigetsuyama Butterfly was unaware of Suigetsuyama Fuguki's recent experience.
"Butterfly, thank you."
Suigetsu Hozuki held Suigetsu Hozuki tightly in his arms.
"Pufferfish Demon, what's wrong? Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon released his wife.
"Butterfly, do you know what just happened?"
"What?"
"We just received news that Yekura has moved to Kusanagi's side. I ordered a ninja unit to be assembled to launch a surprise attack on the Sunagakure army. At first, we did achieve good results."
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon had a gloomy face.
"But suddenly, Yekura appeared. She didn't leave at all, but lurked in the shadows. Just like in your dream, Yekura charged into our ninja camp and killed many people."
"Moreover, even though the Sand Village ninjas were not at a disadvantage, and our village's ninjas suffered more casualties because of Pakura's appearance, they took the initiative to retreat."
"This is clearly illogical, and it corresponds perfectly with the content of your dream, Butterfly."
Suigetsu Hobutsuki trusted his wife completely.
He didn't suspect that his wife might be colluding with Sunagakure to deceive him.
"Pufferfish Demon, do you mean that the things I dreamed about last night have all come true?"
The butterfly on Watermelon Mountain opened its eyes wide.
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost nodded.
"That's right, everything that happened today has happened. So, Butterfly, your dream might not just be a dream, but some kind of premonition. You dreamed about things in the future."
"I really didn't expect that Tongcao Ye'erren would do such a thing to his fellow villagers."
"I admit that we don't get along, but I've never had the thought of killing him."
"No matter what, we are still the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
"This person is terrifying."
The watermelon-shaped butterfly was somewhat startled.
"So what should we do now?"
Suigetsu Hozuki said, "After thinking about it, the reason why Kusano Erin was able to find an opportunity to kill me is mainly because in Butterfly's dream, the ninja army I led served as the main force."
"We expended too much resources in the attack on Sunagakure, and most of our ninjas were fighting against Sunagakure ninjas."
"The wild bait people are different."
"He was just providing support from the sidelines."
"That's why he was able to find that opportunity."
"As long as I give him the opportunity to attack, he won't find a chance to kill me. On the contrary, I will find a chance to kill him, and we will be the ones who survive."
Hearing this, Watermelon Mountain Butterfly finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I asked another question.
"Husband, do you want to kill Tongcao Ye Erren?"
"He wants to kill me, so why can't I kill him? If he lives, he will always be a threat to me. But don't worry, Butterfly, I will do it very discreetly."
As he spoke, the Watermelon Pufferfish looked outside and snorted inwardly.
"Tongcao Ye Erren, I almost let you have your wish, but fortunately, the butterfly dream foresaw the future."
"I never imagined that butterflies had such abilities."
"I wonder if the butterfly will be able to dream of more of the future."
"If I could dream of some valuable information, I might be able to use that information to make a great contribution and have a chance to become the Water Shadow in the future."
A sense of lingering fear crept into the heart of the watermelon pufferfish.
Then he frowned again.
"But I seem to have forgotten something."
"Forget it, if I can't remember, it's definitely not important."
Half a day later, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon finally remembered.
I haven't passed on any news about Yekura to Kusano Eijin. Given this situation, Yekura is very likely to have moved to Kusano Eijin's side now.
But it was too late.
At this moment, Kusanagi was cursing loudly as he looked at the heavily wounded Kirigakure ninja below him.
"What's going on with this Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon?"
"They didn't even tell me such important information as Yekura's disappearance? I was completely caught off guard!"
"Was it intentional or accidental?"
