The sky was high and the sea was wide. In the depths of the boundless sea, two enormous snake shadows, one purple and one red, slithered under the surface of the sea, creating countless ripples.
The Snake Dowager's injuries had yet to heal, so her condition wasn't good. Although Xin Ya had just been scraped by Cold Wind's Mountain Earth Technique, relying on the enormous immortal technique Chakra and the SSS grade snake form, Xin Ya's speed steadily surpassed the Snake Dowager's, and he quickly closed in on the Snake Dowager at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Snake Dowager didn't turn around, but she could feel Xin Ya closing in on her.
'Damn it, damn it!
Orochi Maru, you bastard!! '
The Snake Dowager desperately swung her tail, trying to break free from Xin Ya's approach, but there was nothing she could do.
After Xin Ya closed in, he bit down on the Snake Dowager's butt!
"Roar!!"
The Snake Dowager felt the pain and curled up her snake body, tightly coiling around Xin Ya.
Xin Ya didn't hold back, and his vigorous and nimble snake body instantly exerted strength. The purple and red snake scales crazily rubbed against each other, creating countless ear-piercing noises!
Then the two snakes bit each other, and they bit each other back. You slapped me, and I slapped you. The calm sea instantly became turbulent as they fought, and waves splashed everywhere!
Scarlet blood quickly dyed the nearby sea red!
At a certain moment, a circular wave of air suddenly exploded above Xin Ya's head, and then a figure lightly floated to the ground.
"Moonlight Cold Wind?!"
The Snake Dowager saw Cold Wind appear, and her snake face turned purple: Orochi Maru, this bastard, is simply inhumane!
Didn't we agree that I'll let Xin Ya deal with the Snake Dowager, and you'll deal with Moonlight Cold Wind? You actually dared to lie to me!!
"Hand over your Jinchuriki."
Cold Wind looked at the Snake Dowager with a smile. At the same time, he converted the immortal technique Chakra into the lightning attribute and poured it into the Kusanagi Sword in his hand.
* Crack! *
The Kusanagi Sword's body exploded with thunderbolts, and in the blink of an eye, it was covered by dense blue thunderbolts, almost blinding Manda.
Although the Snake Dowager was Orochi Maru's summon beast, the relationship between the two was not that of master and servant. The Snake Dowager would never risk its life for Orochi Maru, let alone for Column Force, an unknown person!
Thus, the Snake Dowager spat out the unconscious Column Force without hesitation. Then, with a bang, she turned into smoke and disappeared, decisively returning to the Dragon Ground Cavern to recuperate.
After receiving the unconscious Column Force, Cold Wind casually placed him on Xin Ya's head and said, "Xin Ya, I'll have to trouble you to send me back to the Fire Nation."
"Got it." Xin Ya identified the direction and immediately swam towards the northwest.
After a while, on the calm surface of the sea, a small black dot was rushing from the distance. It was Orochi Maru, who had been tricked by Cold Wind.
Following the smell of blood, Orochi Maru successfully found the sea area where the Snake Dowager and Xin Ya were fighting. But at this time, the blood in the sea had almost dissipated, and there was no one nearby!
Orochi Maru's eyes were drooping, but the anger in his eyes was like a flickering light!
He really didn't expect the Snake Dowager to be so useless. It couldn't even hold on for such a short time?!
Now that the sea was vast, how could he find Cold Wind and Xin Ya?
The sea breeze blew, and Orochi Maru stood on the surface of the sea gradually calming down and began to review the situation.
After Orochi Maru rushed to the coastline, he made a series of plans in an instant.
First, let Bai Jue's clone lure the Mist Ninjas.
Second, let the Snake Dowager take Column Force into the sea and escape from Cold Wind's Flying Thunder God!
Third, he would pin down Cold Wind, and when the Mist Ninjas arrived, Orochi Maru would naturally have a way to fish in troubled waters and escape.
But Orochi Maru still made a fatal mistake, and that was to underestimate the distance of Cold Wind's Flying Thunder God!
Orochi Maru silently calculated that from the coastline to here, it was at least 150 miles!
And according to the information collected by Orochi Maru, Cold Wind's perception talent was inferior to Wood Leaf Sword Style, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and other talents. So in theory, Cold Wind's perception range shouldn't have reached such an exaggerated distance of 150 miles!
What went wrong?
Orochi Maru closed his eyes and pondered, and after a while, a flash of light cut through the chaos!
Sage Mode?!
Orochi Maru suddenly remembered that Cold Wind had been using Sage Mode all this time!
Yes, Sage Mode can enhance a Ninja's Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and of course, perception!
If this is the case, then unless Orochi Maru can directly crush Cold Wind, no matter what he does, it's impossible to steal Column Force under Cold Wind's nose!
Even if he let the Snake Dowager take Column Force back to the Ryuchi Cave, it's useless because Cold Wind has Xin Ya.
Phew …
Orochi Maru slowly exhaled a turbid breath and turned around to leave.
…
On the North Coast, after Empress Shōmei killed Bai Jue's clone, she checked the surroundings and found traces of a ninja battle, and there were also traces of a giant snake crawling all the way to the sea.
Is it Orochi Maru and Cold Wind?
"That guy didn't lie to me?" Empress Shōmei felt that her personality was a bit impulsive, and she felt sorry for Bai Jue's clone.
It's just …
Empress Shōmei turned around and looked at the sea with a solemn face.
Did Cold Wind run away?
Empress Shōmei didn't know what to do, but suddenly there was a burst of sound in the sky behind her. That was the signal for the Mist Ninjas to gather!
Empress Shōmei didn't hesitate and immediately rushed to the location of the signal.
When she arrived, nearly a hundred Mist Ninjas had already gathered there.
"What happened?" Empress Shōmei asked.
"Sensei Sama's order, everyone immediately return to the village!"
A Mist Anbu looked at Empress Shōmei and continued, "Empress Shōmei, Sensei Sama wants to see you."
"What?" Empress Shōmei was startled.
"If you have anything to say, say it back to the village."
After that, the Anbu flashed and disappeared.
The rest of the Mist Ninjas looked at each other. Although they didn't understand, this was Sensei's order, and no one could disobey.
"Let's go back."
"It's a pity that we didn't catch Moonlight Cold Wind."
"Don't worry, Sensei Sama will definitely avenge Mizukage-sama!"
The Mist Ninjas discussed a few words and got up to return to the village.
Empress Shōmei wanted to chase Cold Wind, but the sea was vast, and even with two Kekkei Genkai, she wasn't sure if she could find Cold Wind in the sea, let alone Sensei's order.
Helplessly, she could only choose to return to the village.
After returning to the village, Empress Shōmei immediately rushed to the Mizukage building.
After the death of the Fourth Mizukage, all the power of the village fell into the hands of Sensei Sama. Although he didn't sit in the Mizukage's office, his power was so great that no one in the village could compete with him.
In short, he could destroy the Mizukage with a single thought.
"Sensei Sama." Empress Shōmei came to the Sensei Sama's office and gently knocked on the door.
In the office, the old and dim-sighted Elder Yuan was sitting in his office chair. A slender secretary was squatting in front of him. Her back was delicate and pretty, and she was holding a document and stirring it for Yuan Shi.
Seeing Empress Shōmei come in, Sensei Sama quickly waved his hand and sent the secretary away. He then pointed to a letter on the desk and said kindly: "Empress Shōmei, this is the letter we found in the Anbu department. Take a look."
Empress Shōmei picked up the letter and looked at it. It was the letter that Po Shui Mun wrote to the Fourth Mizukage.
The content of this letter was confidential. After reading it, Yagura locked it in the Anbu department. When he died, the Anbu department fell into the hands of Sensei Sama, and this letter was no exception.
"Sensei Sama, do Organizations really exist?" Empress Shōmei remembered what Cold Wind said to him, and Bai Jue's clone he encountered before. He couldn't help but show a dignified and curious look.
"At present, the village doesn't have enough information to determine the authenticity of this letter, coupled with the death of Yondaime-sama, so I plan to …"
Sensei Sama looked at Empress Shōmei with a smile and said: "I plan to send you to Wood Leaf."
"What?" Empress Shōmei was stunned.
Go to Wood Leaf?!
Empress Shōmei subconsciously thought of Cold Wind's figure.
"First, Yondaime-sama died because of Gentle Fist. This is an indisputable fact. You need to seek justice from Wood Leaf on behalf of the village!"
Sensei Sama couldn't see the handsome man in Empress Shōmei's mind and said directly, "Second, find out the whereabouts of the Sanbi. Whether Isobu was taken away by the Organizations or by Moonlight Cold Wind, in short, the clues must be in Wood Leaf! You have to investigate carefully! "
"This …"
Empress Shōmei, who came back to her senses, was a little embarrassed. "Sensei Sama, what if Wood Leaf doesn't cooperate …"
"Don't worry, the village will put pressure on Wood Leaf at the right time. When the time comes, even if it's on the surface, they will fully cooperate with your investigation."
Sensei Sama continued without waiting for Empress Shōmei to speak. "Of course, this mission may take a long time. Empress Shōmei, you have to be mentally prepared!"
Empress Shōmei was full of helplessness, but she could only nod.
"Of course, this mission is also a test for you!"
Sensei Sama laughed. "Everyone is very sad about Yondaime-sama's death, but the village can't go without a shadow. Empress Shōmei, do you understand what I mean?"
Empress Shōmei's eyes lit up: "I understand!"
"Very good, then go and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow."
Sensei Sama coughed dryly and said, "Oh right, remember to call in my secret technique when you go out. Sigh, I'm old, I can't read clearly. I can only rely on others."
