Chapter 268 Murder Mystery Game
Seeing that Itachi and the people of Konoha were getting further and further away from him, Kazuma panicked.
In the midst of chaos, mistakes are bound to be made. He and Ma were unable to dodge in time, and someone suddenly appeared and stabbed them in the chest.
With a "plop," fresh blood shot into the sky, like a bright blood flower blooming in mid-air.
Kazuma staggered, feeling blood rushing into his lungs, his body weakening, and he slowly began to slump down.
"It's over, my life is over!" Kazuma thought with a heavy heart, closing his eyes to await death.
Just then, I suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Lord Kazuma, let's go!"
A giant ninja cat suddenly rushed out, smashing the reanimated body next to it to pieces with a single slap. It grabbed Kazuma, threw him behind it, and ran away on all fours.
Kazuma landed dizzily on the ninja cat's back, and upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who saved him was Mizuki.
"Shuimu-kun————"
Kazuma was immediately moved to tears, his heart overflowing with emotion.
"Lord Kazuma, you must hold on!"
Shui Mu pulled out a handful of explosive tags from his pocket and threw them out like they were free.
"Boom boom boom—"
Amidst a series of violent explosions, the impure bodies blocking the way either dodged aside or were blasted to pieces, clearing a path for them.
"Now's the time! Charge out!"
With a loud shout, Mizuki led the two of them out of the smoke.
However, perhaps in their panic, the ninja cats fled in a different direction from the main force from Konoha Village.
But at this point, there's no time to worry about anything else; just keep running forward!
The pursuers were relentless, chasing and beating the poor ninja cat until it was covered in wounds.
However, in crucial moments, SMTH can still be relied upon.
He reached into his robes, pulled out a ninjutsu scroll, tore it open with force, and a ninjutsu bird jumped out of it.
"Lord Kazuma, let's go!"
Without saying a word, Mizuki grabbed Kazuma and jumped onto the Ninja Bird, taking off from the spot and soaring into the sky.
"Shoot it down!" the pursuers below shouted, preparing their escape techniques to intercept it.
But the ninja cat roared, stood upright, and blocked behind the ninja bird, forcefully grabbing outwards with its claws.
"Wind Release. Sky Splitting Claw!"
Gusts of wind suddenly appeared and rushed towards the pursuers, blowing away all the ninjutsu flying birds that were being attacked.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Ninja Bird immediately accelerated into the air and hid in the clouds.
The impure bodies below couldn't fly, and their ninjutsu couldn't reach that high, so they could only watch helplessly as the two people and the bird disappeared into the distance.
"Heh, they're finally gone."
Seeing that everything had gone according to plan, and after Shui Mu finally saw the audience off, An stood up with a smile.
With a slight rotation of the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes, the complete Susanoo reappeared on the battlefield.
Blood Susanoo took a big step forward and caught up with the group of Konoha villagers who had fled earlier in just a few steps.
An casually raised his gun and lightly slashed at Itachi's brown Susanoo.
Brown Susanoo's seemingly indestructible armor was easily torn apart like paper in front of Blood Susanoo's complete form.
"Sizzle—"
A screeching sound rang out, and the brown-haired serpent was instantly cleaved in two at the waist.
Without the protection of Susanoo, the people of Konoha were once again exposed to a bunch of Edo Tensei.
With a flick of his wrist, An pulled Itachi's body out of the remaining half of the brown Susanoo, flung it far away, and then pointed his spear. The Byakugan and Uzumaki armies charged towards Itachi, leaving only the Uchiha army and the Konoha people facing each other.
"Kill as many as you can; those who escape are just lucky," An said casually.
"Alright!" the Uchiha shouted, and like tigers descending a mountain, they continued their attack.
An did not continue to intervene, but watched from the sidelines. He only intervened when Itachi attempted to use the Brown Susanoo to save people.
The morale of the army in Konoha Village had long since collapsed.
Previously, it was only thanks to the Third Hokage and Itachi that the people of Konoha Village were able to maintain their current state.
At this point, they finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Leave the impure body behind, let's retreat!"
It's unclear who shouted that first, but everyone rushed backwards, leaving only the Third Hokage and his Edo Tensei followers behind to cover the retreat.
"Hahahaha—" An pointed at the Konoha villagers who looked like stray dogs and burst into laughter, his laughter full of mockery and ridicule.
But the people of Konoha Village only wanted to survive at that moment, and they didn't care about saving face anymore; they continued to run.
They don't need to run faster than the pursuers, they just need to run faster than their companions.
The ninjas, scattered across the mountains and plains, were like sheep being chased and devoured one by one by a pack of hungry wolves.
Seeing that Konoha Village had collapsed, An stopped stopping Itachi and let him use Susanoo to go forward and save people.
However, he himself did not have much prestige in the village, and now that the morale of the army has collapsed, it is not something he can rally at will.
No matter how loudly he shouted, the people of Konoha Village continued to go their separate ways, ignoring him completely.
In the end, Itachi could only do his best to save as many people as possible.
An didn't bother with the rest and went back to Takumi Ninja Village to arrange for people to clean up the village and the battlefield.
It wasn't until sunset that the Uchiha who had gone on a killing spree gradually returned, all beaming with joy, clearly in high spirits.
After they gathered, they came before An and bowed respectfully to express their gratitude.
"Clan Chief, thank you for what you have done for us and for the Uchiha clan."
"All of us in the Uchiha clan will never forget the great kindness and virtue of our clan leader."
"You are the greatest clan leader in the history of our Uchiha clan, and we are willing to be loyal to you forever."
All the Uchiha clan members pounded their chests with one hand and uttered their most sincere oath in unison.
"Alright, I accept your loyalty." An Ye nodded solemnly. "I'll definitely need you to risk your lives for me again in the future. We'll see how you perform then!"
"Please rest assured, Clan Chief, the Uchiha clan belongs to you in life and in death; we will never betray you, not even for eternity!"
After accepting everyone's loyalty, An disbanded the Edo Tensei army.
The battle of Takumi-nin Village has now come to a complete end, and the basic strategic plan has been exceeded.
Make the people of Konoha bow their heads and admit their mistakes, then slaughter another wave of the remaining Konoha villagers, allowing the Uchiha clan to vent their pent-up anger.
This was An's original plan, and it was what he cared about most.
As for the battle with Madara later on, it completely destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of the Konoha ninja clan.
And by killing him and destroying his spirit, Hashirama became utterly disillusioned with Konoha.
Those were all unexpected bonuses.
The rest depends on how Mizuki performs in Konoha.
