Chapter 308: Karin and Temari's Outburst
This muffled voice sounded very consistent with the stereotype that Rock Village ninja left on others.
But now he claimed to be a Cloud Village ninja, which meant that the huge explosion just now was done by Rock Village ninja disguised as Cloud Village ninja.
Damn it!
The female ninja felt she couldn't wait any longer.
Their purpose here, besides rescuing their country's spies, was also to prevent the actions of other ninja villages.
As a result, not only was her mission not completed, but she would also be hated by Akiyama Makoto. This obviously couldn't be considered a successful mission.
Although several villages had doubts about Makoto's strength, it was only suspicion.
No one wanted to offend a ninja who knew the Flying Thunder God just because of suspicion. Everyone understood how difficult such a ninja was to deal with.
But framing was different.
She had to step forward and find a way to make Makoto understand that it wasn't the Cloud Village that attacked his villa.
However, what she didn't know was that at this time, a similar voice also appeared in the ears of the Rock Village ninja.
"Hmph, Makoto of Konoha actually dared to arrest our Rock Village spies. This is the consequence of offending us."
The person speaking had a crisp voice, giving the feeling of a beautiful woman.
But where did such a beautiful woman come from in the Rock Village? She must be from the Cloud Village or the Mist Village.
The pretty girl leading the team rushed out with a dark face, even rushing in the direction of the voice, her fist wrapped in rock, ready to punch this bastard who dared to frame the Rock Village.
But when she arrived at the location of the voice, there was no one there.
Although no one was found, looking at the soaring flames from the direction of Makoto's villa, she still gave an order, saying, "Captain Monga, we must go and see. If we meet Makoto, find a way to explain."
"But this might put you in danger."
The tall Monga hesitated. Although it was important not to fail the mission, the person in front of him was the granddaughter of Ōnoki. She absolutely couldn't have an accident.
"It's okay, it's okay. Konoha is weak right now. I guess he won't dare to confront us head-on."
Monga nodded, and then the team marched towards Makoto.
And what surprised Makoto most was the ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.
Here, he saw acquaintances from the simulation.
Mei Terumī, Ao, and Chōjūrō.
When sensing the other party through the Mind's Eye of Kagura, Makoto even felt like he was under a genjutsu.
Why did they appear here?
Soon Makoto understood. It was probably because he didn't control White Zetsu.
Since White Zetsu could stare at him, it could naturally discover Zabuza and Haku.
It was estimated that Obito told Mei Terumī this intelligence through Mizukage Yagura, asking Mei Terumī's team to test Makoto's movements and purposes.
Never mind. Since they were here, let's make tonight lively.
Makoto sat on the eaves, looking at the big pit in his villa yard, which was still glowing with fire.
That huge explosion and firelight were all created by Makoto himself. He even dismissed the ninja guarding around the villa just to welcome the guests properly.
The group from the Rock Village arrived first. They were actually hiding underground in the nearby city.
Rock Village ninja were good at Earth Style, and it was difficult to be discovered when traveling underground in most cases. The same was true now.
"How is it, Tōto, can you sense anything?"
Kurotsuchi looked at the third member of the team, who was forming seals to release his perception.
Under the gaze of Kurotsuchi and Monga, Tōto trembled almost imperceptibly, and then said, "Not good, the one named Akiyama Makoto is seriously injured. If we don't go to help now, he might die."
"Damn it, how did it come to this—Quick, let's go up."
"Wait—"
Monga wanted to say something, but watching Kurotsuchi rush out by separating the soil, he could only sigh secretly and chase after her to protect her.
What he was best at was also protection. Right now, he couldn't control this eldest young lady Kurotsuchi at all.
But after he jumped out of the soil, his face changed drastically.
Makoto, who was seriously injured in Tōto's mouth, was sitting on the eaves, quietly watching the uninvited guests at home. Beside him sat Karin and Temari.
Kurotsuchi, who jumped out a step earlier, was kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes. Obviously, she was knocked down by Makoto with genjutsu in one encounter.
"Tōto, what is going on—Ugh!"
Monga turned around quickly, and the kunai in Tōto's hand cut his armpit.
The Chūnin named Tōto had lifeless eyes and was obviously controlled.
Seeing this, Monga understood what had happened.
He punched his subordinate away, then quickly formed seals. Three earth-stone stalagmites flew out of the ground and pierced towards Makoto, launching an attack without a word.
Facing this attack, Makoto didn't dodge.
Karin's figure flashed and arrived in front of the earth-stone stalagmites, smashing her monstrous fist unceremoniously.
After a violent explosion, Karin's still somewhat small figure stood on the ground, chakra almost visible to the naked eye flowing on her body, and fervent fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.
Seeing Karin in such high spirits, Makoto said, "Go ahead, remember not to use all your trump cards."
Karin nodded, extinguishing the thought of using the Yin Seal.
Makoto didn't ask her to hold back, but asked her not to use all her trump cards, meaning she could use full force, but beware of others spying.
Right, according to Makoto, there were still many people with bad intentions here.
Then let her, Karin Akiyama, destroy this group of bastards who dared to covet this place.
One must know that she would be the manager here later, or be called the Kage of the Land of Waves—no, it was better to be the acting Kage. How could she not protect her home?
The next second, Karin rushed out.
Monga wanted to take the opportunity to pull Kurotsuchi to his side, but Karin's speed was like a train. He could only grit his teeth, wrap rocks around his fists, and attack Karin head-on.
He didn't dare to underestimate Karin. Just now, Karin's act of resisting his Earth Style with her physical body seemed outrageous to him.
But soon he would understand that as an elite Jōnin of the Rock Village, fighting to a draw with Karin only after activating Earth Style: Rock Fist was even more outrageous.
The two exchanged punches and kicks. One was nearly two meters tall, and the other looked petite. They shouldn't be evenly matched opponents.
But Monga's face became uglier and uglier, because even if he injured Karin, Karin could bite herself and heal immediately.
As for chakra amount, he only saw the girl's red hair clearly under the moonlight at this time. Then his chakra amount was inferior to the opponent's.
The only thing he could surpass the opponent in was combat experience.
But he also had to worry about Kurotsuchi and his subordinates, not to mention that the real expert on Makoto's side hadn't made a move yet.
It seems I messed up this time—
Just as he thought so, Temari beside Makoto stood up and gripped the iron fan on her back.
"Someone else is coming. I'll go."
Unlike Karin's eagerness, Temari was a little uneasy.
Makoto hadn't improved her strength yet, so she knew she might not be the opponent of the newcomer. But in this situation, she definitely had to make the first move. She couldn't always be protected by Makoto.
Seeing this, Makoto pulled Temari's hand and gave her something crystal-like.
Then she saw the smile on the corner of Makoto's mouth, which immediately filled Temari with confidence.
She immediately came to the group of Cloud Village people, assumed a stance with the iron fan on her back, and said angrily, "Was it your Cloud Village that destroyed our home?"
Seeing that the comer was a girl not too old, Samui, the captain of the Cloud Village, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It wasn't us. Someone framed us. We can explain this clearly—"
Before her voice fell, Temari's wind blades blew over overwhelmingly.
Samui and the other two dodged immediately, and annoyed looks appeared on their faces.
Even if Temari spoke as a victim, judging by her strength, she was only at the level of a Special Jōnin.
As a Jōnin, Samui naturally wouldn't take Temari's anger. She warned directly, "Move aside, or listen to our explanation. Otherwise, I can only take action to help you calm down."
"Okay—then let's see how capable you are."
Then, Temari took a deep breath and activated the chakra crystal given by Makoto.
The next second, golden eyeshadow appeared around Temari's eyes.
Until this moment, Temari didn't quite understand what happened.
But the powerful chakra in her body made Temari realize immediately that her strength had skyrocketed at this time.
Let alone Jōnin, even Kage-level powerhouses, she could fight!
Then Temari waved the iron fan in her hand.
Sage Art: Wind Style: Great Sickle Weasel Technique!
A huge whirlwind comparable to a three-story building, wrapped with countless wind blades, pressed towards Samui and the other two.
Every wind blade passing through trees that two people could embrace would instantly split the trees in two, some even powerful enough to turn the trees into debris.
Such a powerful attack not only moved fast but also had a large range.
Caught off guard, Samui and the other two were immediately wrapped in it, while Temari stared dumbfounded at the damage she caused.
Is this really something I can do?
In her excitement, Temari immediately strengthened the attack.
Wind Style naturally restrained Lightning Style, not to mention that Temari used Sage Art, which immediately put Samui and others in a difficult situation.
If it weren't for Temari's own poor foundation, Samui would probably have died on the spot by now.
Makoto watched Temari clear a patch of forest instantly from a distance and nodded with satisfaction.
After learning Sage Mode, Makoto tried to see if he could give Sage Mode to others as a ninjutsu crystal.
Temari was the first person to try it, and the result was not unexpected for Makoto; it succeeded.
This was thanks to the system's function, otherwise Makoto himself wouldn't dare to try it easily.
Now it seemed that his ninjutsu crystal function was indeed stronger than the Transcription Seal.
Because theoretically, Sage Mode wasn't a ninjutsu, but a cultivation and combat state.
Even this could be sealed and transferred. Did it mean Makoto could distribute the power of Six Paths to the people around him?
It was exciting just thinking about it—but he could only think about it, after all, Makoto didn't have the power of Six Paths himself yet.
But this was enough to make Makoto more assured about the safety of the girls around him. Even without him to save them, the girls could rely on the life-saving trump cards Makoto left them to defeat most enemies in the ninja world.
After the battle between Temari and the Cloud Village ninja, the last group of people also arrived.
This group interested Makoto the most, but Makoto didn't intend to act immediately.
With a thought, Zabuza and Haku in ambush acted.
Zabuza's eyes were already bloodshot, and Haku was burning with the flames of battle.
Although the people in front of them were Mei Terumī's team, not the dogs of the Mist Village and the Mizukage.
Theoretically speaking, the two sides would cooperate in the mission to defeat the Mizukage later to establish combat friendship, but now neither side knew that!
Zabuza had already treated Mei Terumī as the Mizukage's dog and directly activated the Hidden Mist Jutsu, hiding himself in the mist.
"Not good, this is a trap—that Zabuza is going to attack us."
Mei Terumī reacted immediately, and Ao also activated his Byakugan.
Zabuza hiding in the mist cursed inwardly, gave up the attack, and changed position.
The next second, Mei Terumī spewed boiling mist and rushed towards Zabuza.
This was exactly the Boil Style Mei Terumī was best at. Essentially combining fire and water nature chakra in the body, it was a high-temperature mist with freely adjustable acidity, strong enough to corrode and melt Susanoo.
Zabuza dodged and frowned at the Mei Terumī in front of him.
He wasn't very familiar with Mei Terumī, after all, Mei Terumī was still young at this time. When Zabuza left the Hidden Mist Village, Mei Terumī was even younger.
Seeing that the Hidden Mist Village actually produced such a powerful ninja again, his mood was complicated.
But thinking that the opponent might become a stumbling block on his way to assassinate the Mizukage, Zabuza's killing intent rose again.
"Haku, you go first."
"Yes, Zabuza-sama."
Haku immediately flickered close to Mei Terumī and others, borrowing the residual mist to cast the Ice Style Secret Jutsu: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.
Huge ice crystals appeared around Mei Terumī and the other two in the mist, and Haku's figure also hid in them.
Ao could see through Zabuza's mist, but now that Haku was in the ice crystals, what if Ao saw through it?
"Ice Style, it's actually Ice Style!"
Ao was startled, because the Yuki clan who could use Ice Style should have theoretically disappeared.
Sure enough, this guy Zabuza had long had rebellious thoughts, secretly recruiting even people with such Kekkei Genkai.
Ao could only look at Mei Terumī. A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Mei Terumī's mouth, and she said, "Do you think you can trap me with this kind of thing? At most, it's just some ice crystals."
Then, Mei Terumī formed seals again. This time she didn't use Boil Style.
Lava Style: Melting Apparition Technique!
This time, viscous and highly corrosive acid liquid spewed from Mei Terumī's mouth. The super-large range acid liquid wrapped all the ice crystals like a small-scale flood.
Haku, holding senbon and planning to shift the attack, was immediately severely injured, and along with all the ice crystals and himself, instantly disappeared into the white mist.
