Chapter 99: Enemies Hidden in Bitter Whale Island! Too bad we are all ninjas!
While Koizumi was being comforted and his emotions soothed, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto, aboard a ship, boldly appeared on the outskirts of Bitter Whale Island!
Or rather, Fujiwara Tetsuya never intended to hide!
So, when Fujiwara Tetsuya and his three companions stepped ashore, they were met by over a dozen fierce-looking Ninja.
"They're Konoha Ninja!"
When Koizumi and the others saw the headbands on Fujiwara Tetsuya and his three companions, their expressions immediately changed.
Especially Koizumi, whose eyes instantly darkened.
"One, two, three… fifteen… seventeen!"
"Seventeen people, huh!"
"Five Genin! Nine Chunin! Two Elite Chunin! One Jonin!"
"Looks like a big catch! How truly terrifying!"
As Fujiwara Tetsuya's left hand caressed kirimaru at his waist, his right hand pointed at each person in front of him, a playful glint in his eyes.
Without Koizumi needing to remind them, his Ninja, who had faced life and death together, were already prepared for battle.
It seemed that as soon as Koizumi gave the order, they would tear their enemies to shreds.
"Konoha brats! Which squad are you from!"
Compared to his hot-blooded subordinates, Koizumi, as their leader, was undoubtedly much calmer.
While preparing for battle, he was also gathering information on Fujiwara Tetsuya and his three companions.
The Ninja squads that came to Land of Whirlpools were, at most, about a dozen or so.
And only four were distributed in the Northern Sea Area of Land of Whirlpools.
"What a calm man!"
"We are Konoha's Thirteenth Squad!"
"I imagine you've heard of us!"
Just by the demeanor of this Jonin in front of him, he was worthy of his strength.
"The Thirteenth Squad!"
"It's the Thirteenth Squad!"
"Damn it! How did we run into these brats!"
The formidable reputation of the Thirteenth Squad, to which Fujiwara Tetsuya belonged, was built upon the corpses of hundreds of Ninja.
Among these slain Ninja, there were not only Elite Chunin but even Jonin-level Ninja.
"The Thirteenth Squad, huh!"
"It seems you've made up your mind to be our enemies!"
At this moment, Koizumi's expression completely darkened.
Because, after the Thirteenth Squad appeared in the Northern Sea Area of Land of Whirlpools, there was never a single Ninja defeated by the Thirteenth Squad who was heard to have survived.
"Don't look so grim!"
"In the end, we're just doing this for a mission!"
"As Ninja,"
"This is a fate we must experience, isn't it!"
Looking at the enemies before him, Fujiwara Tetsuya murmured, then slowly drew kirimaru from his waist.
If it were possible, who wouldn't want a peaceful life?
But, who made them born in the Ninja World?
"Kill them!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya roared, the Ninja from both sides instantly clashed.
The enemies before them, like the Grass Ninja they faced during the Sakurakaze Castle mission, were not weak.
However, that was over a year ago!
Today's Thirteenth Squad was no longer as weak as it was when it was first formed.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Secret Art: Insect Tornado!"
"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: God Slash!"
Terrifying Chakra continuously collided on Bitter Whale Island.
As Uchiha Mikoto moved to intercept Koizumi, kirimaru in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand relentlessly reaped the lives of his enemies.
In just a few tens of seconds, three Chunin fell beneath kirimaru's cold blade.
"Tetsuya and the others! They're truly powerful!"
"If Heiji and Meihua could be like Tetsuya!"
"How wonderful that would be!"
On a nearby ship, Uzumaki Watari gazed at the battle on the island, his eyes filled with emotion.
To be able to achieve this at an age of less than ten years old!
Their Uzumaki Clan had not seen such a Ninja genius with such extraordinary talent in a very, very long time.
The battle on Bitter Whale Island ended quickly.
It took less than twenty minutes.
Except for their leader, Koizumi, all the other Ninja perished at the hands of Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and their two companions.
"It seems your path as a Ninja ends here!"
During the battle, Koizumi was stabbed through the abdomen by Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Bright red blood continuously gushed from his thin clothing, gradually soaking the sand and stones beneath Koizumi's feet.
"Cough… Thirteenth Squad Leader Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"What an impressive brat!"
"Truly worthy of being Konoha's new generation genius!"
The pain in his abdomen constantly stimulated Koizumi's nerves, causing the Jonin's face to gradually turn pale.
"You know me?"
Looking at the man before him, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze deepened slightly.
After Konoha's Ninja squads arrived in Land of Whirlpools, the Uzumaki Clan had done a good job of keeping things secret.
"You're from the Land of Fire!"
After a brief moment of thought, Fujiwara Tetsuya had his answer.
So, the moment Fujiwara Tetsuya looked up, he met Koizumi's playful gaze.
"That's right! I am indeed from the Land of Fire!"
"What?"
"Do you need me to also reveal the name of the esteemed person behind me?"
After coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Koizumi's breathing became increasingly faint.
However, he never showed even a hint of fear.
Clearly, this man before him also had his own Ninja Way.
He was a true Ninja.
"That won't be necessary!"
"Such matters are naturally for the Village's higher-ups to worry about!"
"It's not yet our turn, as juniors, to worry about them!"
Although Koizumi's identity was revealed, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt no joy at all at this moment.
All he felt was an immense heaviness.
Koizumi's words indirectly confirmed his earlier speculation.
The higher-ups of the Land of Fire, led by that individual, had interfered.
"Heh! What a clever brat!"
"Before I die, I'll give you a piece of advice!"
"The matters of Land of Whirlpools are far more complex than you imagine!"
"We, these people, are ultimately just pawns casually thrown out by that esteemed person!"
"The real trump card is yet to come!"
"If you don't leave Land of Whirlpools quickly,"
"Even if you are a Konoha Ninja! A Konoha genius!"
"You will only perish here meaninglessly!"
Koizumi died.
After his dying warning, he immediately lost his breath.
He and his subordinates were permanently buried on Bitter Whale Island by Fujiwara Tetsuya and his three companions.
"Let's go!"
"It's getting late! We should head back!"
Looking at the simple grave, Fujiwara Tetsuya bowed again.
He then led the members of the Thirteenth Squad away from Bitter Whale Island.
If it hadn't involved the matters of Land of Whirlpools, if they hadn't met here, he and this unfamiliar Jonin might have become good friends.
However, in this world, apart from those protagonists with their own halos, other people struggling to survive simply had no 'if only'.
"Tetsuya! What that man said…"
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's influence, Uchiha Mikoto, Aburame Mokujin, and Torune Ryoui's perspective on things became increasingly comprehensive.
Although they didn't speak just now, they had more or less guessed something.
"Mikoto! Mokujin! Ryoui!"
"Although it's a pity, as we are now, we don't have the qualifications to get involved!"
"Forget everything you saw, heard, and thought today!"
"Don't forget! We are Ninja!"
