Linto choked Lady Ichikishima, and kept putting energy into her, freezing all her ways to escape.
Lady Ichikishima spat out her tongue and said in a hoarse voice:
"Human! What do you want to do to me? I warn you—"
"Stop your noise."
Before she finished speaking, White Snake swung her arm around and slapped her face three times.
After taking out two discs, she stomped Lady Ichikishima to death.
[Killed Lady Ichikishima, gained 400 soul fragments.]
This is the so-called "Snake Saint."
Without human protection, she's just worth 400 soul fragments...
Trash.
White Snake looked at the memory in the disc.
"Oh! Ryuuchi Cave, Kumogakure, these two are here for you… Hey?"
White Snake saw Lady Tagitsu acting with Lady Ichikishima:
"One escaped, as expected of Orochimaru's old friend, running really fast. Aren't you going to chase?"
Linto looked serious and didn't answer. He went back to the forest.
Sasuke was running over from the top of the mountain.
When he saw Linto, he smiled at first. Then he saw Amber lying on the ground, burned all over, and his smile froze.
Linto put his hand on Amber's chest, and Sasuke waited nervously.
"There's still a faint heartbeat."
He saw the Orochimaru Ninjutsu disc still spinning.
It was Orochimaru's powerful survival skill that saved Amber's life in a desperate situation.
Linto decided to burn some paper money for Orochimaru when he got back, as a thank you.
"Brother Shou, what do we do now?" Sasuke asked.
Linto looked at the Lady Ichikishima memory disc in White Snake's hand.
"Let's go back first and take care of our own people."
...
Tonight is destined to be busy.
The Kumogakure attack stirred up the entire Kirigakure.
In particular, the full outbreak of the Two-Tails. Although Yugito's main target was Sasuke, her huge size and the arbitrary release of chakra still affected many people.
Kirigakure Hospital was overcrowded. Many medical ninja still in ninja school were temporarily called in to help.
Terumi Mei sat in the Mizukage Building, her hair disheveled, her eyes bloodshot.
Even not sleeping all night wouldn't make a Kage-level ninja look so tired.
This shows how anxious she is.
Terumi Mei searched through the documents, spreading them on the table.
Click!
The door to the office opened, and Zabuza rushed in. He was breathing slightly heavily and licked his dry lips.
"They're back."
"Who?"
"Linto and Sasuke, and Amber, they're all back!"
Terumi Mei stood up, and the chair fell to the ground because she moved too fast:
"Where are they?"
"Here."
Linto and Sasuke walked in.
Amber had been handed over to the medical team and was receiving emergency treatment.
Tsunade and Kakashi are on their way to Kirigakure and are expected to arrive before tonight.
Once Tsunade, the medical expert, arrives, Amber's life will really be saved.
"Zabuza," Terumi Mei said, her voice a bit stuffy.
"Huh?"
"Get out."
"Oh."
Zabuza scratched his head and walked out.
When the door to the Mizukage's office closed, Terumi Mei, who had been tortured by mental stress all night, finally had red eyes, walked over quickly, and hugged Sasuke.
"I'm sorry, Linto trusted me to leave you here, it's all my fault for not making good defense arrangements."
Sasuke patted Terumi Mei's back gently: "It's okay, Aunt Terumi Mei, see, I'm fine, right?"
"Huh?"
Terumi Mei let go: "Aunt?"
Why call Brother Shou Lin, Brother, but me Aunt?
Linto walked to the table. The documents scattered on the table were all about Kumogakure.
Some were agricultural and industrial distribution, and some were lists of Kirigakure's informants in Kumogakure.
"What are you planning to do?"
Terumi Mei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. When work was mentioned, she switched back to Mizukage mode: "Kumogakure is attacking Kirigakure, this is a challenge.
Since they want war, I'll give them war.
I plan to activate the hidden contacts in Kumogakure and blow up their farms and factories.
I know that Kirigakure has just gone through turmoil, and I also know that Kumogakure is the strongest of the Five Great Nations today.
But that's why we can't let others look down on us, otherwise these things will happen endlessly."
Terumi Mei hadn't been home all night and was still wearing a strawberry bear pajama.
But with a series of clear and logical statements, with consideration to politics, military, and national power, no one would think she was childish.
Linto smiled and said, "Not bad, Mizukage."
Terumi Mei rubbed her sore nose and smiled shyly.
Linto gathered the documents on the table: "But there's no need. Kirigakure spent years, even decades, setting up these intelligence personnel. Let's keep them for now."
He took out the Lady Ichikishima memory disc.
"Kumogakure, Ryuuchi Cave, I will visit them one by one… to talk to them."
Terumi Mei asked subconsciously: "How will you talk?"
Linto smiled, didn't answer, and just left a sentence:
"I'll go to Kirigakure first."
His sword was handed over to Old Man Swordsmith for repair after the last Mizukage overthrow battle, so whether he was going to find Tsunade or kill the Two-Tails Matatabi, Linto lacked a handy weapon.
Going to talk to Ryuuchi Cave and Kumogakure.
Not bringing a sword is rude.
...
In a world led by ninja, information travels very quickly.
In just one day, the information about Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito leading a surprise attack on Kirigakure was placed on the tables of the leaders of all the ninja villages.
The Kage of each village, the Daimyo of each country, and the leaders of some ninja organizations were all waiting for Kirigakure and Linto to respond.
Military counterattack?
Public condemnation?
Or… admit defeat?
"I remember Linto saying, 'Ninja are not enemies, but comrades fighting side by side'."
Pain stood under the eaves, watching the dense rain falling from the gray sky.
Konan stood behind him, holding the information she had just received in her hand. The information showed that Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito had died.
Pain said, "I really want to know if he can stick to his 'comrade theory' in the face of aggression from other countries, or if…"
"He chose to walk the same path as me."
Pain looked coldly at the sky.
Hatred will inevitably lead to the same results.
Linto's ideas are too dreamy and too naive.
Those who haven't experienced real blood and fire can't know what can bring peace.
"That's not right."
Konan suddenly said, "Linto wrote in his notebook:
Even if Kumogakure, which is engaged in an arms race, chooses to start the Fourth Great Ninja War,
the civilians of Kirigakure and Kumogakure will always be on the same side,
we have only one enemy—Kirigakure's scum and Kumogakure's militarist dogs."
Hatred is not directed at a village, but at people with wrong ideas."
Pain: "…"
After a few seconds of silence, he silently skipped the topic, looked at the rain again, and said softly, "Then let's see if Linto will practice his beliefs."
At the same time, Linto, carrying a large sword, arrived in front of a very remote cave.
Sasuke, who was traveling with him, took out the Lady Ichikishima memory disc and compared it with the cave in front of him.
"This is Ryuuchi Cave, Brother Shou, are we going in?"
Linto shook his head slightly.
He wasn't a mouse and didn't like crawling into holes.
"Let them come out and talk."
Aerosmith appeared, and the missile bay below opened.
A rain of missiles was launched.
