Chapter 296: The Frost Ninja who assesses the situation! Retreat and cover the rear! Ask for a ticket!
"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!"
With Uchiha Mikoto, the strongest combatant, and Hyuga Hizashi, the strongest defender, doubly restrained among the group, Ai, charging towards the ANBU Squad members, was like a rampaging human tyrannosaurus.
Wherever he went, lightning surged and roared... practically no Anbu member dared to directly confront that wild power.
In just a few short minutes, three Anbu members had already fallen in the coordinated attacks of Ai and the other Cloud Ninja.
With the reduction of active forces and the division of combat power, the situation was developing in a direction most unfavorable for Konoha.
"Ahead... is that Lord Ai and Lord Dodai?"
Worse news arrived.
As the hosts of the Land of Frost, Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group engaging in such a large-scale battle with Ai, Dodai, and Burabi made it difficult to escape the notice of the Hidden Frost Village's scouts.
"Were these guys already here?"
"They really are a bunch of scoundrels who know how to read the situation..."
Watching the figures rushing towards them, Dodai's expression didn't show much fluctuation.
From the perspective of the Hidden Frost Village, he could understand the thoughts of the Hidden Frost Village Ninja.
Firstly, to seek advantage and avoid harm... secondly, to observe the game and place their bets.
With a whistle, over a hundred Hidden Frost Ninja figures appeared behind Ai and Dodai.
"Damn it, it's the Ninja from the Land of Frost."
"These guys, have they really come to provide support?"
Looking at the dense figures ahead, Uchiha Mikoto, Torifu Ryoui, Hyuga Hizashi, and others' expressions gradually darkened.
Dodai and Ai were already difficult enough to deal with... now, with the addition of over a hundred Hidden Frost elite Ninja.
The outcome of the upcoming battle... was predictable.
"Ice Release: Ice Dragon Swirling Tail!"
Not far away, Fujiwara Tetsuya, who was still locked in battle with the Tailed Beast-transformed Burabi, naturally noticed the movements of the Hidden Frost Ninja.
With a grim expression, a torrent of Chakra surged out, and as the blade flashed, an ice dragon emanating an icy chill suddenly plunged into the accumulated water beneath his feet. Endless cold spread through the water, freezing everything in its path... even Burabi was frozen into a lifelike statue by the extreme cold of the Ice Release.
"Burabi..."
Watching Burabi, who was trapped within several meters of thick ice, Ai, Dodai, and the others' expressions changed slightly... However, before they could react, the ice, emanating a deadly aura, had already spread to their feet.
"Get away... don't get entangled by the Ice Release."
As Ai, Dodai, and the others retreated explosively, Uchiha Mikoto, Torifu Ryoui, Hyuga Hizashi, Aburame Kana, and the others also got a chance to catch their breath and quickly gathered together.
"Mikoto, Ryoui... Hizashi."
"I now order you, in the name of temporary squad leader, to immediately take Minato and Kushina out of the battle and return to Konoha as quickly as possible."
Sensing the condition of Uchiha Mikoto, Torifu Ryoui, and the others, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes were once again enveloped by a chilling killing intent.
If he hadn't acted in time to force back Ai and Dodai, then... the next to die could have been Torifu Ryoui, followed by Hyuga Hizashi and Uchiha Mikoto.
A dragon has a reverse scale, which must not be touched.
Humans... also have their own forbidden territory, which no one is allowed to touch, much less harm.
"Tetsuya-kun, I'm not leaving. I want to stay and continue fighting with you."
"Tetsuya-kun... you know me. Don't forget your promise to me..."
"Lord Tetsuya, we are willing to stay, even if it means sacrificing our lives."
As they spoke, Uchiha Mikoto, Torifu Ryoui, Hyuga Hizashi, and others had already positioned themselves in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya, their eyes filled with a resolve to face death.
"You guys..."
"Don't make it sound so tragic... it hasn't come to that yet."
"Mikoto, you know I have a way to disengage from battle at a critical moment."
"You don't have much time left, hurry and go... if you don't leave now, you won't get this chance."
"If you continue to insist like this, not only will the mission fail, but it will also put me in real danger..."
Although Fujiwara Tetsuya spoke lightly, he knew very well that to ensure the true safety of Uchiha Mikoto, Torifu Ryoui, Kushina, and the others, he had to hold out until they left the Land of Frost, the Land of Hot Springs... and returned to the Land of Fire.
"I... understand... Tetsuya."
"Promise us... you must come back alive."
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's hopeful gaze, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes gradually dimmed.
How many times was this now?
Whenever she thought she could help him, reality would always deliver a heavy blow.
What Uchiha bloodline? What Uchiha Clan genius?
If she couldn't help him, what was the use of any of it?
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto, in her disappointment, walk towards Minato Namikaze and Kushina, Hyuga Hizashi and the others' attitudes also softened.
Based on their understanding of Fujiwara Tetsuya's strength, they subconsciously believed Fujiwara Tetsuya's words... "Ryoui, don't be willful, be obedient."
"I will... be back with you soon."
..."Fujiwara Tetsuya... disperse! You guys, don't even think about taking the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"
In the brief moment when everyone carried Minato Namikaze and Kushina to retreat, Ai, Dodai... and a large number of Hidden Frost Village Ninja had already surrounded them.
"Ai! Tell your old man to give up that impossible ambition!"
"Whether it was before, or now, or in the future... the only Shinobi Village that can stand at the pinnacle of the Ninja World is Konoha!"
"Adamantine Attack: Air Strike!"
As Fujiwara Tetsuya's fist collided with Ai's, an invisible wave surged into the sky, and the ice beneath their feet began to shatter under the violent vibration...
"This... how is this possible? In terms of strength... Ai actually lost to that kid!"
Watching Ai, who was forced back several meters by Fujiwara Tetsuya after the stalemate, Dodai, Sakura, and the others were filled with shock... Looking across the entire Hidden Cloud Village, the entire Land of Lightning... the Yotsuki Clan was the embodiment of strength.
Ai, who inherited the Third Raikage's bloodline, was even more of a standout among them.
They could accept Ai's defeat, or Ai losing to Fujiwara Tetsuya in any other way.
But they could not accept... Ai being surpassed by Fujiwara Tetsuya in strength.
"Ai! Leave this guy to me... you take your men to pursue the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, no matter what..."
"No matter what what?"
"If you want to pass... first find a way to cross my body."
"Hidden Cloud Village... and the scum of the Hidden Frost Village, the one who will fight you next is... Mei Zhi Hang Fujiwara Tetsuya of the Fujiwara Clan of Konoha!"
"All of you, prepare yourselves mentally..."
With a roar, a massive stream of water slowly appeared in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand.
"Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!"
"Feel the pain! Scum of the Hidden Frost Village... battles between the Five Great Ninja Villages are not something to easily meddle with!"
