Just as Kisame and the others were moving into action, on the other side, Orochimaru's squad had also arrived here.
Seven figures loomed faintly within the mist, and Kimimaro, who was leading them, instantly had the veins on his face bulge.
"Byakugan, open!"
In an instant, everything inside that quiet town in the distance appeared within his sight.
"The Byakugan really is convenient."
Suigetsu could not help muttering quietly to the side. The Byakugan was indeed the best choice for reconnaissance.
"Is there anything?"
Kidōmaru glanced at Kimimaro and could not help humming softly in his heart, but still opened his mouth more honestly to ask a question.
"Your Byakugan should be able to provide more information, right?"
Sakon lightly laughed and spoke in a low voice, and the gazes of Jirōbō and Tayuya beside him also turned over.
The four of them counted as Orochimaru's personal guards and could also be considered to have received Orochimaru's earnest training.
It was just that, compared with Kimimaro, the degree of this training was truly far too different!
Although they were all very wary of Kimimaro's strength, they also felt somewhat jealous of Kimimaro in their hearts because of Orochimaru's favoritism.
This operation could be called their "battle of proving themselves," and they did not want to be overshadowed by Kimimaro.
"They're inside the small town, and there are also other people who have arrived."
Kimimaro closed the Byakugan and spoke indifferently, which immediately made the four of them furrow their brows.
"Enemies? Or allies?"
Suigetsu asked with some vigilance, but Kidōmaru was completely unconcerned.
"Who cares whether they're enemies or allies? It's all the same to us."
"That's right."
Tayuya also nodded. She truly did not want to lose to Kimimaro.
"Leave this matter to us. Who cares whether they're enemies or allies!"
"I have no objections."
Sakon let out a cold laugh, and Jirōbō also casually nodded.
"You just wait here. We'll go take care of the Six-Tails."
As soon as the words fell, the four of them instantly vanished from where they stood, already rushing toward that small town!
After three years, they had also all grown; they believed they could handle the vast majority of problems.
"Tch, arrogant fellows."
Suigetsu looked at the four of them with some displeasure, then curiously asked Jūgo beside him: "We're not going to stop them? Acting so rashly—they could die, you know."
"This is their choice."
However, before Jūgo could speak, Kimimaro had already replied calmly.
"And Orochimaru-sama has no need for useless people. Let us go do our own task."
After speaking, Kimimaro also followed at a slow pace, and Jūgo patted Suigetsu on the shoulder before walking out as well.
Only Suigetsu wore a face full of helplessness; he felt that something was definitely going to happen tonight!
And he was not wrong. In another direction, Terumī Mei and the others had already arrived.
"The one who caused that chakra eruption seems to be heading this way."
Standing on a mountain peak, Ao scanned the front with the Byakugan, and his expression did not look good.
"Not only that—there are also many people with powerful chakra gathering here. And Utakata is here as well. It seems we are in trouble."
"Utakata?"
Terumī Mei truly had not expected the situation to become this complicated.
But after thinking it over, she finally gritted her teeth. At the same time, she took out a scroll, unsealed it, and took out a kunai from inside.
"This is…"
Chōjūrō asked with some curiosity, but he quickly noticed the strange formula inscribed on the kunai.
"A Flying Thunder God kunai? That Fifth Hokage?"
"Although he has not officially assumed the position of Hokage yet, saying it like that is not wrong."
Terumī Mei nodded. She gripped the kunai tightly and spoke in a low voice.
"He said that if there was ever any trouble, I could use this kunai to inform him. I think the trouble tonight should be enough."
As for Kitagawa Gen, she trusted him completely; she still remembered everything from back then clearly.
She believed that no matter what kind of trouble appeared, as long as Kitagawa Gen was there, then…
'Everything will be fine.'
She silently recited this in her heart, then finally spoke: "Let's go. We move out!"
And while they were moving, high above in the sky, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was also watching the entire land.
A strange expression flashed across his face, but it quickly turned into a full smile.
"Tsk, tsk. The Byakugan… the scattered power of the Ten Tails… and Isshiki's failed Kāma. This world is truly interesting…"
...
The moonlight was hazy, and the thick mist made the night even deeper.
Bathed in the night curtain filled with dense mist, the small town appeared especially quiet, with only a few occasional dog barks breaking the stillness of the night.
Inside a room in the small town, Utakata suddenly awoke.
After leaving Kirigakure, he knew that the village would not let him go easily.
And tonight was clearly not a peaceful night. That uneasy premonition suddenly surged into his heart, making him understand that he might have been targeted!
"People from Kirigakure?"
Utakata let out a cold snort in his heart and then silently stood up, preparing to leave this place.
Under the mist, a giant water dragon roared toward him. Looking at that massive water dragon, Utakata let out a cold snort.
In an instant, his technique was also completed at high speed, and a huge water wall blocked the roaring water dragon in an instant.
In this kind of environment in the Land of Water, where water vapor was abundant, it was very friendly for every Water Release shinobi.
Only his expression was very ugly now, because he saw the people who attacked him!
"Hoshigaki Kisame? Biwa Jūzō? Kurosuki Raiga?"
"Yo, long time no see."
Kisame grinned, and that shark-like face under the moonlight was especially ugly.
"I really don't want to see you."
Utakata knew the situation seemed not too good, but just as his words fell, another whistling sound rang out.
Immediately afterward, four figures appeared. They looked at Utakata and revealed cold smiles.
"Tsk, tsk, so this is the Six-Tails jinchūriki? I think Orochimaru-sama will be satisfied with you."
"Oh? People of Orochimaru?"
Kisame and the other two exchanged glances. Although they did not look very normal, these were their own people.
...
"The situation is not good. Utakata is in big trouble."
In another corner of the small town, Ao was using the Byakugan to scout the movements ahead.
"All the enemies are very strong. Utakata is surrounded."
"Is it that troublesome?"
Terumi Mei frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke.
"Get ready. We make a move. Utakata absolutely—"
"Careful!"
But before she finished speaking, Ao's expression suddenly changed.
As he spoke, the ground churned, and countless sharp bone spikes burst out of the earth and stabbed toward them.
They were fortunate that with Ao's warning, each of them immediately jumped onto the eaves, narrowly avoiding this silent wave of attacks.
"Bone spikes? Could it be?"
But when they saw those dense white bones on the ground, they suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"The Kaguya Clan?"
They had no time to think further. Countless white bones once again broke through the earth, and those pale bone spikes became even larger and sharper.
In an instant, these bone spikes destroyed the houses, and the entire street was filled with those terrifying white bones.
"Move!"
Kisame naturally sensed the disturbance on his side, and they did not hesitate at all.
Various chakra immediately erupted quietly, and that vast power seemed as if it was about to drive away the thick mist.
The entire small town fell into chaos and battle in an instant.
And while they were fighting fiercely, in a forest beside the small town, a figure was clutching his head, his entire face full of pain and distortion.
"Kill them all. Kill them all."
His face was full of cruelty, and in his heart there was only the anger of killing intent.
His memory was somewhat chaotic now, but in his memory it seemed that he had been captured along with many children, and then given some kind of power.
Only those who could withstand this power could survive, and that time only he survived, but he was still defined as a failure, and afterward was sealed away.
This kind of power had been tormenting him all along, as if it wanted to crush his entire body and bones, as if it had thrown him into a furnace to burn him without end.
He wanted to die, but he could not die at all, because that energy revived him again.
Under such pain and torment, he had long been unable to endure. In his heart there was only blazing fury, and he only wanted to destroy everything!
He slowly raised his head. Looking at everything ahead, a trace of cruelty appeared on his painful and twisted face.
"Starting from here!"
[Buzz—]
The chakra in his body exploded wildly at this moment, and the diamond-shaped mark in his hand completely erupted at this instant.
That violent chakra on his body instantly swept through the entire small town, and at this moment his appearance also underwent a huge transformation.
"Ah!"
He let out an angry roar, and in the next moment he charged out directly.
