"Is everything Fuguki said true?"
"Did Mizukage-sama really do all those things?"
"If that's true, then that's terrifying!"
…
While hurrying along the road, Yagura could not stop taking out the Ninja Major Events Weekly again and again to read it.
There was no need to mention his hatred for Fuguki Suikazan.
But now, Yagura's hatred for Rasa had reached a brand-new height as well.
"Rasa!"
"I already said it. That was Genji acting on his own. It had nothing to do with me!"
"Do you really have to go this far?"
"You deliberately published Fuguki Suikazan's words for the entire shinobi world to see. Are you trying to fight me to the death?"
"Are you really not afraid?"
Rasa truly was not afraid.
He possessed multiple S-rank ninjutsu. He already had fifteen percent of the Otsutsuki bloodline, and that number could still continue to rise.
And Yagura?
He was merely an ordinary Mizukage who had achieved nothing.
Rasa still did not know that Yagura had become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. But even if he did, he still would not be afraid.
As the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura had once been controlled by Obito Uchiha and turned into a puppet.
That had dragged the entire Kirigakure into disaster.
Now, as the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, if Obito Uchiha made a move, there was a high chance Yagura could still be controlled and turned into a puppet.
On top of that, Kirigakure's current situation was complicated.
Fuguki Suikazan and Jinpachi Munashi could bring enormous trouble to Kirigakure.
"Fuguki-sama, this is bad!"
"Kirigakure's people are here! Yagura is personally leading them!"
Fuguki Suikazan abruptly stood up.
"What?"
In his interview, Fuguki Suikazan had described Yagura as utterly worthless and treated him with great contempt.
But in truth, Fuguki Suikazan knew very well that Yagura's strength was not weak.
Especially Yagura's ninjutsu. It was very special.
Against opponents he could defeat, he would fight directly.
Against opponents he could not defeat, he would use the Water Mirror Technique and drag the enemy into a battle of chakra quantity.
He was extremely troublesome.
However, Fuguki Suikazan did not think Yagura was invincible either.
"This battle was going to come sooner or later."
"Then let everyone see who the true orthodox force of Kirigakure really is!"
Fuguki Suikazan led the members of the Samehada Sailing Group to the island shore.
Opposite them were the Kirigakure shinobi led by Yagura.
Yagura shouted loudly.
"Fuguki Suikazan betrayed Kirigakure and secretly colluded with Sunagakure, causing the deaths of countless shinobi and bringing massive harm to the village. His crimes cannot be forgiven. I hereby sentence him to death!"
"All Kirigakure shinobi, heed my order! Capture Fuguki Suikazan and kill him on sight!"
The battle was on the verge of erupting.
Fuguki Suikazan shouted back just as loudly.
"Yagura, you brat! You framed us and threw the village into such a difficult position for your own selfish desires! You are the true sinner of Kirigakure! Today, I will kill you!"
"I swear in the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! If I return to Kirigakure, I will lead the village back to its peak!"
"To rebuild the glory of Kirigakure, there is only us—the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"
If he had not feared public criticism, Yagura would have sneered on the spot.
Still clinging to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?
How many of the seven blades are even left now? Five of them have fallen into Sunagakure's hands. If you have the ability, take those five blades back first!
Facing Fuguki Suikazan, Yagura used the Water Mirror Technique first.
A figure identical to Fuguki Suikazan appeared, and the two figures immediately tangled together.
Meanwhile, Yagura quietly shifted his position, moving behind Fuguki Suikazan.
When Fuguki Suikazan's attention was no longer on him—
An abnormal chakra seeped out from Yagura's body.
It was completely different from ordinary shinobi chakra.
It carried an intensely corrosive aura, as if merely touching it would burn the skin.
Dark red chakra covered Yagura's entire body, forming a cloak-like shape around him.
The next instant—
Bang!
In a flash, Yagura's figure shot forward and appeared behind Fuguki Suikazan.
"Hiruma!"
A palm slammed into Fuguki Suikazan's body.
Terrifying force descended.
Fuguki Suikazan's expression changed sharply. He clenched Samehada in his hands, twisted his wrist, and swung backward. But immediately after, the violent pain from his back distorted all of his movements.
The Water Mirror Technique's copy seized the opening and pounced forward.
Fuguki Suikazan's face became extremely ugly.
"What is going on with Yagura?"
"This isn't Yagura's ninjutsu!"
"This is the power of a Tailed Beast!"
"When did Yagura become a Jinchuriki?"
This completely unexpected situation threw Fuguki Suikazan into panic.
He no longer dared to keep fighting.
Finding an opening, he plunged headfirst into the sea. His body dived into the water, sinking deeper and deeper, hoping to escape pursuit this way.
In this battle, Fuguki Suikazan had already admitted defeat.
Even with Samehada in his hands, the Water Mirror Technique's copy also held a copied Samehada.
On top of that, there was Yagura, who had become a Jinchuriki and could control the power of a Tailed Beast.
Fuguki Suikazan could not imagine how he was supposed to win.
"Damn it!"
"What is going on with Yagura?"
"Wasn't the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Elder Harusame's disciple?"
"Why did it suddenly become Yagura?"
Yagura looked coldly at Fuguki Suikazan.
"You want to run? Not that easy!"
"I will kill you today!"
"There is no way I will let you live!"
"You must pay the price for what you have done!"
With Fuguki Suikazan's defeat, the entire Samehada Sailing Group collapsed.
Without its backbone, not a single person among the remaining members could step forward.
Facing the Kirigakure shinobi led by Yagura, they scattered and fled in every direction.
But just as the Kirigakure shinobi were cheering excitedly and giving chase, ready to kill every member of the Samehada Sailing Group, and just as the Samehada Sailing Group was on the verge of despair, a large ship rushed toward them at incredible speed.
A bright red flag flew above it.
"The Explosive Blade Sailing Group!"
"It's the Explosive Blade Sailing Group!"
"We're saved!"
…
…
Sunagakure.
Rasa looked at the points displayed on the system panel, feeling slightly surprised.
Previously, Ebizo's team's efforts had brought Rasa around fifteen hundred points.
Rasa did not really want to use the One-Person Ambition Expansion Card directly, so before that, he had adopted the interview strategy and published Fuguki Suikazan's interview in the Ninja Major Events Weekly.
The first issue was Fuguki Suikazan's interview.
The next issue would be Jinpachi Munashi's interview.
But Rasa had not expected the effect of the interview to be this good.
Just one interview with Fuguki Suikazan had directly provided him with nearly fifteen hundred points.
Now, the number in the points column had already exceeded three thousand.
He could already perform one minor-guarantee draw.
"Then let's begin!"
"Thirty consecutive draws!"
"Start!"
An invisible roulette wheel began to spin.
