"Lord Ao!"
The ninjas in the distance watched the bizarre scene in front of them in horror, not even knowing what was happening!
c4 Jade Maiden was a work that Deidara had suppressed for a long time within the organization, created to commemorate Sasori.
Using Sasori's appearance as a model, he created a clay doll of the same proportions as the real person. The initial explosion had little lethality, but it could generate airwaves, allowing the real trump card—Invisibly Small Clay Spiders—to spread to a certain range.
These Clay Spiders were about the size of human cells and would enter various parts of the target's body. After exploding, they would destroy the opponent's body from the cellular level, making it impossible to defend against.
Previously, Deidara had dropped large amounts of white clay from all directions just to distract those Lightning Release ninjas and prevent the explosion from being stopped prematurely.
In fact, this move had an amplified version with a larger explosion range, but he didn't use it because he was worried about affecting the Six Tails Jinchuriki, directly turning him to ashes.
Deidara was very satisfied with the effect of c4, and said to the ninjas below, "Could you please hand over the Six Tails Jinchuriki obediently?"
The answer he received was a pile of ninja tools and long-range Ninjutsu. Everyone present attacked Deidara in the sky like a catharsis: "Don't even dream about it!"
"Looks like you won't listen obediently, hmm." Deidara dodged the attacks and continued to make various Clay bombs to throw downwards, "That Shark-faced Bastard, it's about time he started acting, right?"
At this time, the Six Tails Jinchuriki Utakata and his disciple and girlfriend Hotaru were being protected at home by a group of Anbu. Even if the commotion outside was loud, they didn't go out.
Because Lord Ao had ordered that Utakata must not participate in the battle unless absolutely necessary, and the news of Lord Ao's sacrifice had not yet reached here, they naturally wouldn't act rashly.
But their not going out didn't mean that others wouldn't come looking for them. Thanks to Deidara attracting most of the ninjas' attention, Kisame successfully found Utakata's residence after wandering around.
"Who's there?!" The Anbu hiding on the roof played some role, giving a loud warning.
But Kisame ignored him completely, drew Samehada wrapped in bandages from behind, and with a wave, a hole large enough for two people to pass through immediately appeared in the wooden wall.
Swish, swish, swish, four Anbu surrounded Kisame.
Kisame turned a blind eye to them, his small eyes staring at the people inside through the hole:
A light yellow-haired girl, who looked very weak, probably not the target.
A young man exuding a lazy aura, holding something like a smoking pipe in his hand, matching the characteristics of Utakata mentioned in the intelligence.
In addition, there were two Anbu holding Ninja Blades in both hands, blocking in front of the two.
"You are... Kisame Hoshigaki!" The Squad Leader blocking in front of Utakata recognized Kisame.
"Someone still remembers me." Kisame raised Samehada with one hand and pointed at Utakata, saying, "My target is that guy, I advise you to not seek death."
Kisame said these words from the bottom of his heart. He had killed too many Kirigakure companions in the past. In order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy and leaking secrets, he had to mercilessly kill his companions.
Few people knew that Kisame, who appeared cold and ruthless on the surface, actually had some tenderness in his heart. Repeatedly staining his hands with the blood of his companions made him fall into confusion:
Killing companions was to prevent leaks and protect the village, and protecting the village should be to protect companions. Since it was to protect companions, then what was the act of killing companions with his own hands?
Kisame couldn't understand this logic, just repeating such things again and again, until one day, a female ninja from the Cipher Division said to him with heartache before her death: "Your life must be very hard, right?"
For the first time, Kisame experienced the feeling of heartache. He began to doubt what his existence was for, to endlessly kill these companions who trusted him?
One second they were still talking about what to do after the mission, and the next second he stabbed the other party's body with a knife. That time, Kisame felt that the knife pierced his own heart.
This damn Shinobi World was like this, there would always be various cruel things that forced all kinds of people to think about the meaning of life and the truth of the world, and their own level of knowledge and ideological realm restricted their judgment, and even the logic in their minds had great problems.
Kisame was one of them. Doubting the meaning of his existence, he easily believed in the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan to create a world without pain.
Perhaps, in his eyes, even such an ethereal goal was more worthy of anticipation than the current world.
Thus, Kisame Hoshigaki diligently strived towards that goal, until today's invasion of Kirigakure.
However, when he faced Kirigakure ninjas again, even though they were no longer comrades, Kisame still didn't want to deal a fatal blow to them.
Of course, the Kirigakure Anbu would obviously not waste their time trying to fathom Kisame Hoshigaki's thoughts, and even if they knew, they wouldn't compromise.
The Anbu Squad Leader stood firmly in front of Utakata: "Lord Mizukage entrusted the safety of the village and Utakata to us, but the village has been destroyed like this, so even at the cost of our lives, we must stop you!"
"Then there's no choice." Kisame Hoshigaki knew what was important; he had to complete the mission of capturing the Six Tails Jinchuriki no matter what.
The Kirigakure Anbu surrounding Kisame Hoshigaki didn't say anything more, and as usual, with a flick of their wrists, Kunai, Shuriken, and Senbon rained down.
Kisame Hoshigaki swung Samehada in his hand, and the large sword like a door panel swept away all kinds of hidden weapons. Then, he stepped forward and smashed Samehada towards the Anbu A in front.
Anbu A barely managed to block Samehada with his Ninja Blade, but it was obviously a bit strenuous.
At this moment, the bandages wrapped around Samehada suddenly burst open, and the jagged barbs inside stood up, piercing into Anbu A's shoulder.
Anbu A cried out in pain and couldn't hold onto his Ninja Blade. He was severely cut by Samehada, losing a piece of flesh, and fell to the ground: "My... Chakra..."
The Squad Leader hurriedly reminded: "Samehada absorbs Chakra, don't touch that sword!"
Having absorbed Chakra, Samehada swayed its body and made a strange sound, as if complaining that it wasn't full.
Anbu B behind Kisame Hoshigaki took advantage of the moment when Kisame Hoshigaki hit Anbu A, and thrust his sword towards Kisame Hoshigaki's back with both hands.
Kisame Hoshigaki ignored Samehada's complaints, and flexibly spun around and kicked, knocking away Anbu B's Ninja Blade.
Anbu C and Anbu D on both sides also seized the opportunity to attack.
Kisame Hoshigaki released Samehada, and his hands seriously and quickly formed hand seals. Two Water Clones appeared, blocking the attacks from both sides.
The Squad Leader also stopped watching, helped the injured Anbu A to the corner, and then joined the battle.
Utakata picked up his Bubble Pipe and dipped it into the bamboo tube at his waist, blowing a string of bubbles.
Even Hotaru was ready to use the few Water Release Ninjutsu that Utakata had taught her at any time.
