Chapter 166 Lin Jiao Yu Yuli, tough and tough, Wu Yinqing
"Hmm? It's over!" Ishikawa murmured, his eyes mocking, as the sea breeze gently caressed the deck of the large ship and he admired the undulating waves.
[I never expected it to turn out like this. Zabuza, who could go toe-to-toe with the teacher in the original story, was captured alive this time without even being allowed to use Chidori!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, is this the absolute crushing power of a Kage against an elite Jonin? Hmm, Zabuza's carelessness in engaging in a direct taijutsu battle also played a part. At this moment, with the combined power of his Lightning Release armor and Sharingan, if Zabuza got serious, even two of him wouldn't be enough to defeat him.]
[Well, looks like our trip to Kirigakure is going to be a sure thing! Given Teacher's lazy personality, the fact that he managed to capture Zabuza alive must be because of me.]
As his mind raced, Ishikawa's lips curled into a slight smile. Having a teacher who was both powerful and intelligent, and who cared for him so much, certainly gave him a great sense of security.
"Captain, I sense that the Hidden Mist ninjas are coming." Suddenly, just as Ishikawa was enjoying himself, Karin ran over with Tarojiro.
"Oh? How many people? What's their strength?" Ishikawa curled his lip, unconcerned.
Even when two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys. This time, they are visiting Wuyin openly and legitimately, so what are they afraid of?
"Based on the chakra feedback, it should be a four-person team of two Chunin and two Genin, at six o'clock," Karin hurriedly reminded him. Ishikawa glanced at them and, through his red eyes, spotted the Kirigakure team rushing across the sea.
The Chunin leading the group, however, made Ishikawa's pupils change slightly. To be precise, it was the two lightning blades at the other's waist that made him take notice.
[A reddish-brown vertical braid, sharp teeth, and bandages wrapped around her neck—I didn't expect Kirigakure to move so quickly! It seems this woman is Ringo Ameyuri, the successor to the Thunder Blade.] With a sigh, the four people opposite her appeared in a flash, leaping onto the deck.
"Konoha ninjas? You've already stepped into the border of our Land of Water's first island chain. What are you doing here by suddenly showing up?" After quickly scanning the area, Ringo Ameyuri immediately focused her gaze on Ishikawa, who was wearing a Chunin vest.
His hands instinctively gripped the Thunder Blade, ready to strike at any moment.
"We are here on the orders of the Hokage to deliver a secret letter to your Kirigakure. Please allow us to see the Mizukage." Ishikawa said neither humbly nor arrogantly, showing no regard for Ringo Ameyuri.
Although this woman was hailed as the most talented Lightning Release ninja in Kirigakure, her poor health led to her early demise in the middle of Shippuden. She was later resurrected by Kabuto using Edo Tensei, barely managing to become one of the Seven Reanimated Ninja Swordsmen before finally making a name for herself.
Their strength is just so-so, nothing special...
"To deliver a secret letter?" Ringo Ameyuri asked suspiciously, then glanced at the three genin behind Ishikawa before letting her guard down.
A squad with one Chunin and three Genin—this level of strength is enough to demonstrate Konoha's attitude.
What else can they do besides delivering messages? With their limited strength, any action they take in Kirigakure will only result in their deaths!
"Wait until I report to Lord Mizukage, you all wait here." Ringo Ameyuri understood the situation and didn't waste any words, directly following the rules.
He nodded to the person behind him, who immediately took out a blank scroll from his pocket, wrote down information, and summoned a carrier pigeon to fly towards Kirigakure.
"[The Mizukage? It seems Kirigakure has already decided on the Fifth Hokage. I just wonder if it will be Mei Terumi again this time.]" A glint flashed in Ishikawa's eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions to avoid trouble.
Anyway, once I meet Shuiying later, everything will come to light.
"Hey! You guys from Konoha, do you know Sharingan user Kakashi Hatake?" After a tense wait of more than ten minutes, Ringo Ameyuri asked casually out of boredom.
"Kakashi-sensei? Do you think I know him or not?" Ishikawa asked directly, not hiding his relationship with Kakashi.
They knew about this relationship from the last encounter with Mei Terumi and Ao Kirikawa, and besides, there was no need to make Ringo Ameyuri lie!
"So, you're Kakashi's disciple?" Ringo Ameyuri, who had been nonchalant, suddenly became excited, her eyes burning as she stared intently at Ishikawa, sparks flying.
Kakashi killed Raiga and obtained the Raiga, which gave her the opportunity to inherit this legendary ninja sword.
Therefore, the opponent's disciple must also be a very powerful ninja.
"I am Ringo Ameyuri, the second successor of the Hidden Mist Lightning Blade. Since you are Kakashi's disciple, let me test your power." Without further ado, Ringo Ameyuri drew her lightning blade and shouted excitedly.
If she were to engage in a sparring match in her own name, presumably the Mizukage and Konoha wouldn't say anything even if they knew...
Perfect timing, she can also help the village test the strength of Konoha's new generation.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Fang!" Under Ishikawa's speechless gaze, Ringo Ameyuri drew her twin swords, crossed them, and charged up her power. The raging arcs of lightning quickly intertwined and shone with immense force!
Seeing this, Tarojiro frowned and was about to go up and teach this arrogant and irritable woman a lesson.
But as soon as they took a step, they heard Ishikawa's calm voice in their ears.
"boring."
As the two words "calmly" rang out, Tarojiro saw a familiar, sharp white light flash before his eyes, and a white lightning bolt shot out from the White Fang Longsword.
"Crackling and popping..."
In a flash, white lightning shot out with lightning speed, striking the two lightning blades. To Ringo Ameyuri's astonished expression, it interrupted her charge-up attack and disrupted the lightning's instantaneous burst, engulfing her...
"what!!"
Ringo Yuri only had time to let out a scream before her entire body was electrified, her hair standing on end, and white smoke billowed from her mouth.
"team leader!!"
"Those despicable Konoha ninjas, they actually..."
The two Kirigakure genin immediately glared at him without anger, while the other chunin cautiously watched Ishikawa, who instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
No hand seals! He unleashed a lightning attack directly using swordsmanship. How did this guy do that?
Could it be that his sword is some kind of special ninja tool?
"What, you two want to dance too?" Ishikawa blurted out, his eyes playful, as he looked at the two Mist Villagers who seemed completely unsurprised.
"Hmph, what an arrogant brat! An envoy from Konoha." The Chunin from Kirigakure was furious but dared not speak out, when he heard a loud, cold snort from behind him.
"She attacked first. If I hadn't held back, she wouldn't have just fainted! If you're going to use this as an excuse, then I can only assume it's Kirigakure's provocation against Konoha." Ishikawa said nonchalantly, his gaze fearlessly fixed on the one-eyed man with long gray-blue hair. "If that eye is preventing you from seeing the truth, then you might as well give it back to Konoha."
He represents Konoha now, how could he be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum? Besides, while others may not know the true nature of Kirigakure, Ishikawa certainly does. As long as he grasps the red line, he has nothing to fear!
"As expected, he's still as sharp-tongued as before." Kirigakure's blue face gritted his teeth, then he waved for the Chunin to leave with Ringo Ameyuri.
"Let's go, Lady Mizukage is already waiting for you! She'll be so happy if she knew it was you..."
