"What does this Ghost Lantern Gengetsu want to do?"
"Who told him to rush so fast?"
"Who told him to shout that?"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon felt that everything was in chaos.
The people appearing now are not Pakura, but other ninjas from Sunagakure.
Suigetsu Hobuki's plan was to have his assassins sneak up and ambush the Sunagakure ninjas, and then, with the help of a traitor from Sunagakure, lure Pakura over.
Ten assassins were engaged in the fight.
Then, he, along with Hiwa Juzo, Tsukuyano Erin, and Kurihara Kushimaru, led elite ninjas to surround Pakura, thus creating an ambush that would ensure Pakura's complete annihilation.
But now, with the shout of "Ghost Lantern Gengetsu," everything has fallen into chaos.
The Sand Village ninja would certainly be alert immediately.
Even if they didn't believe what "Gengetsu Hozuki" was saying, they would still choose to turn around and run away.
The aura of "Gengetsu Hozuki" is too strong.
The name "Hozuki" also carries a certain intimidating power.
Without intelligence, anyone who comes would be wary.
Moreover, the shout of "Hozuki Gengetsu" came too early. At this point, the Sand Village ninja was still a very long distance away, and the Sand Village ninja had a good chance to turn around and run away. The remaining nine assassins could not catch up even if they tried their best.
As expected, the Sand Village ninja turned and ran.
"Gengetsu Ghost Lantern" was chasing after them.
The remaining nine assassins chased after "Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon".
Having received news of the attack on the Sand Village ninja, Yekura is rushing here.
The Sand Village traitor, hidden in the shadows, was stunned for a moment upon seeing the location of the Sand Village ninja and the Hidden Mist Village assassins.
"What's going on? This isn't the right place."
"Has Kirigakure changed their ambush location?"
"Does this mean they don't trust me?"
Pipa Juzo arrived in front of Suigetsu-san Fuguki, his brows furrowed.
"Pufferfish Demon, what's going on?"
With a gloomy expression, Shui Zishan Fugu said, "I don't know what serious illness Hozuki Gengetsu has suffered. Before the sand I raised had even settled, he had already rushed out."
"And he was shouting as he charged."
"He didn't listen to a single one of my orders."
"Those Sand Village ninjas heard the commotion and immediately turned and ran."
Tongcao Ye'er asked a question.
"Didn't you tell them that Ye Cang wasn't among those people?"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's eye twitched.
"Do I need to tell him? As a suicide squad member, he should just do what I tell him. Does he really think he has a chance to kill Ye Cang and steal this huge credit?"
"With his abilities, is he worthy?"
The problem with the Kusanagi no Yaijin made the Suigetsu-yama Fuguki somewhat unhappy.
So this has become my problem?
"But it's quite obvious now that Hozuki Gengetsu said those things because he thought Yokura was in there," Hozuki Gengetsu said calmly.
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon narrowed its eyes slightly.
"Wildbait Man, what do you mean?"
It was only after Pipa Juzo stepped in to mediate that the two stopped arguing.
The moment Luo Sha saw Ye Cang, he shouted.
"Lord Fuguki, Lord Nomi, Lord Juzo, come out quickly, we have captured Yokura."
The next moment.
Luo Sha looked at Ye Cang.
"Ye Cang, today I, Hozuki Gengetsu, will take your life!"
"kill!"
The nine assassins beside him rushed out without looking back.
Luo Sha is at the very end.
Yecang's expression hardened, and as he retreated, he ordered his ninjas to relay the message to the Sunagakure army.
Seeing this scene from afar, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was furious.
"That Ghost Lantern Gengetsu is truly insane!"
"So you've captured Yekura?"
"Where did you grab Yekura?"
"You think you can capture Yekura?"
If Suigetsu Hozuki thought there was still a sliver of a chance to ambush them just now, he now feels there is absolutely no chance left.
The key to ambushes is timing.
The entire "Hozuki Gengetsu" technique was designed to create opportunities for the Sand Village ninja.
And now, the Sand Village ninjas have been given another chance.
The previously planned ambush location is no longer feasible.
It will take much longer to surround Yekura and the others than before.
Moreover, this place is very close to the Sunagakure army, but not close to the Kirigakure army.
This means...
If the Sunagakure army arrives to reinforce before Yekura is killed, then the Kirigakure ninja who came to ambush them will be in danger.
The Hidden Mist ninjas can't provide enough support.
Can you kill Pakura before the Sand Village army arrives?
Given the current situation, Suigetsu Hozuki has absolutely no idea that this is possible.
"It's all destroyed!"
"My meticulously planned scheme has been completely ruined!"
"They've all been ruined by that Ghost Lantern Gengetsu!"
As the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon stared at the retreating figure of "Gengetsu Hozuki," a deep killing intent flashed in his eyes.
He wished he could kill "Gengetsu Onizuki" himself.
"Are the Hozuki clan really this stupid?"
Pipa Shizang asked the question.
"Pufferfish Demon, what should we do now?"
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's eyes flickered.
"retreat!"
I'd like to try the loquat one.
"Why not give it a try?"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon shook his head.
"There's no need to try anymore. This plan has already failed. Forcing it will only put us in danger. Pass on my order: retreat immediately. Everyone, as fast as you can."
Pipa Juzo pointed to "Hozuki Gengetsu" and the others.
"And what about them?"
"We can't worry about them now, and besides, they're suicide squads."
The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon wished for Hozuki Gengetsu's death, but regretted that Hozuki Gengetsu didn't die by his own hand.
Following Suigetsu Hobuki's orders, a large number of Kirigakure ninja retreated.
However, the retreat was still too late.
Pakura's actions, along with the support from the Sand Village ninja, were faster than Suigetsu Hobuki had anticipated.
"Kill them!"
"Chase after them!"
Upon hearing the sound, the Watermelon Pufferfish turned around and its expression immediately changed.
"Run! Run!"
There are too many; the number of Sand Village ninjas catching up is far too many.
Even as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Suigetsu Hozuki didn't think that he and his two fellow members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist could contend with such a large number of Sand Village ninjas.
Even the Third Raikage died in the sheer number of people amassed by Iwagakure.
No matter how strong the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are, can they be stronger than the Third Raikage?
That's something that possesses both the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
In many people's minds, he is the strongest among the three generations of filmmakers.
Suigetsu Hozuki suddenly hated Hozuki Gengetsu even more.
"This Ghost Lantern Gengetsu really has a serious illness; he has a problem with his brain!"
The watermelon mountain pufferfish's ghostly aura made my teeth itch.
As Suigetsu Hobuki ran, he watched helplessly as the Hidden Mist ninjas were chased and killed by the Hidden Sand ninjas, their blood splattering and staining the sand red.
