Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 595 Dead?

"Hokage-sama, what is this?"

Hoshigaki Kisame, who had canceled the Sage Mode and Giant Guard state, looked innocently at Namikaze Minato, who had just arrived with a rather unhappy expression on his face.

Hoshigaki Kisame could roughly guess why the Hokage came here in such a hurry.

The simple purpose is for Konoha to capture the members of the Zero Organization before the maintenance force takes action in order to obtain more intelligence.

This can be seen from the manpower and material resources that Konoha Village has invested in dealing with the Zero Organization in the past two years, which shows the extent of the Hokage's hatred for them.

However, before the start of this operation, Jianchuan Tachibana's order to Hoshigaki Kisame was to kill him as soon as possible to avoid any further complications, and he did not ask to leave him alive.

In matters like this, Hoshigaki Kisame of course still attaches more importance to the decision of his boss.

Moreover, Hoshigaki Kisame also vaguely knew that there seemed to be additional sources of intelligence from his own Lord Mizukage, so he was even more ruthless when he took action before.

However, the complete transformation of the Nine-Tailed Fox into a tailed beast and the ability to control it with ease that Minato Namikaze just displayed still made Hoshigaki Kisame quite concerned.

So at this moment, at least on the surface, he still pretended that he had no choice but to kill the enemy accidentally.

"He has become a perfect Jinchūriki. We must inform Doctor Tachibana of this information."

Although he was thinking this in his mind, no other thoughts could be seen on Hoshigaki Kisame's shark-like face.

As for Minato Namikaze, looking at the humble and polite Hoshigaki Kisame in front of him, he didn't know what to say to him.

The maintenance force was able to track down this place through the movements of the Immortal Duo, and Konoha, which had previously had experience in encircling and suppressing these two people, could naturally do the same.

However, in the process of finally locking onto the enemy, Konoha was still slightly slower than the maintenance force.

If it weren't for the loud noise caused by the battle between Hoshigaki Kisame and the 100-meter giant just now, it might take some time for Konoha's intelligence personnel to find this place.

After noticing the commotion here, Minato Namikaze immediately left his main force behind and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to speed up his way to the scene.

But he didn't expect that even so, it would still be a few minutes late in the end.

The current situation is that Konoha's previous "private" actions led to the enemy's successful escape.

On the contrary, although the maintenance and adjustment forces failed to leave any survivors, they did achieve actual results.

Even if Minato Namikaze had some complaints in his heart, he couldn't really say anything harsh.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Minato Namikaze finally asked reluctantly.

"That giant puppet just now should be the ghost of the Demon Country, right? With Lord Kisame's strength, is there no chance that he can leave any survivors?"

When Hoshigaki Kisame heard this, his expression immediately changed slightly.

What Minato Namikaze originally meant was that since Kisame could deal with the monsters at the same time, he still had his hands free to kill Kakuzu who wanted to escape.

Does that mean he still has some strength left in the battle against the monsters?
However, after asking this question, Minato Namikaze realized that there seemed to be some blame in his tone, and he hurriedly explained.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kisame."

However, as soon as Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, he was stopped by Hoshigaki Kisame.

The change in Hoshigaki Kisame's expression was not actually due to Minato Namikaze's attitude, but...
"I'm not sure whether the monster called Wuliang is really dead."

As he spoke, Hoshigaki Kisame also began to recall the strange changes that happened to the giant puppet during the final stage of the battle. In the previous battle, although Hoshigaki Kisame had always had the upper hand, the opponent's undead puppet seemed to be able to revive indefinitely.

So in reality, all he could do was to keep smashing the puppets to pieces in order to suppress their regeneration.

Originally, Hoshigaki Kisame was thinking that after Pain was free, he would use sealing techniques to help him completely destroy the monster.

However, who would have thought that the zero-tailed python that had been entangled with the giant puppet that had been fighting with him would suddenly merge into the puppet's body.

The puppet's scarlet eyes also dimmed, and soon after, even the previous ability to recover from its immortality seemed to have completely disappeared.

Hoshigaki Kisame completely defeated the giant puppet in just a few moves.

Considering that the Wuliang itself seemed to be a kind of evil spirit monster, Hoshigaki Kisame found it difficult to determine whether the other party had exhausted its energy and lost its regenerative ability.

Or maybe he just saw that the situation was not good and abandoned the external body, and the "real body" escaped alone.

Facing Hoshigaki Kisame's answer, Namikaze Minato's expression also looked unhappy.

Although he did not want to see the members of the Zero Organization being killed directly by the other party, it was also because he wanted to leave them alive and obtain more intelligence.

Rather than letting the other party escape again, Minato Namikaze felt that it would be better for these rats in the shadows to die.

However, now that things have come to this, anything more seems a bit excessive and redundant.

Just as Minato Namikaze was about to say goodbye and leave.

A white-haired figure came rushing from a distance at lightning speed and arrived beside Minato Namikaze.

"Minato-sensei, you are too far away from me, what if..."

Looking at Hatake Kakashi who was rushing over, Namikaze Minato gently shook his head and comforted him.

"It's okay. I don't think it will be necessary in the future."

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was standing by, saw that the two of them were hesitant, and frowned as if thinking about something for a moment.

However, dozens of Konoha ninjas appeared quickly afterwards, interrupting Hoshigaki Kisame's thoughts.

Namikaze Minato also spoke to Hoshigaki Kisame at the right time.

"Sir Kisame, since the battle here is over, we will not stay any longer."

"However, if there is another battle against the Zero Organization next time, the maintenance team may consider sharing the information with Konoha. We are willing to provide additional personnel support."

Faced with Minato Namikaze's proposal, Hoshigaki Kisame just shook his head slightly.

"Hokage, the maintenance team will soon be changing leadership. You should discuss these matters with the new commander-in-chief."

The two were not talkative people, and there was nothing else to talk about at the moment, so they immediately prepared to leave and lead the team back.

However, at this moment, two ninja hawks flew through the air at an extremely fast speed and fell into the hands of Hoshigaki Kisame and Namikaze Minato respectively.

The two looked at each other and immediately realized that there might be some urgent information. They immediately took the information scroll from Ninja Hawk's feet and opened it to check.

After seeing this, both of them changed their expressions.

"What! Fugaku is dead?!" x2
