Fleeing from Konoha-Chapter 631 - 95: Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi
The immense terror descended, causing Toroi’s body to shudder, cold sweat streaming down his face.
What is this? This was the only thought in his mind.
In the white dense fog, it wasn’t a ’lantern’ at all, but rather the eye of some gigantic creature.
The enormous creature was flicking its tongue, a snake’s tongue.
The surrounding dense fog parted with the giant serpent’s movements, allowing Toroi to finally see the true appearance of the giant snake.
A blue, translucent body, allowing one to see the internal structure of the giant snake, as if a massive serpent formed from flowing water.
Inside the bluish-translucent serpent were two enormous four-sided Shuriken, precisely the giant Shuriken that Toroi had thrown earlier.
"Damn it!"
Suppressing the fear within his heart, Toroi cursed softly.
Faced with such an extraordinary monster, his first thought was to flee.
Judging by its characteristics, his Magnet Style was useless against this giant snake.
The overwhelming pressure beyond common sense made every hair on his body stand on end in tremors.
This was an emotion stemming from the depths of his heart—fear!
As Toroi leaped backwards, the giant python stretched its body over the ocean and fiercely swung its tail at Toroi.
The ocean’s surface erupted into violent waves; fishing boats shattered into pieces of wood, floating on the sea, drifting further away.
"Cough, cough!"
Toroi, covered in blood, emerged from the seawater, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Staring in terror at the giant python, he met those emotionless, ruthless blood-red eyes, his entire body shuddered once more.
He couldn’t let this continue; he was utterly powerless against such a colossal creature.
The serpent’s mere body flips on the ocean could unleash a force no less than a powerful Water Style Jutsu.
The ocean was its domain.
His mind was in chaos, trying to think of a way to escape; fighting the giant snake offered no hope of victory.
While pondering, Toroi suddenly noticed a long, pitch-black shadow appearing at his feet.
Not good! Toroi leapt up again, trying to escape the range of the attack.
The serpent’s tail slashed up from the seawater, sweeping aside the barriers of water and white fog, landing precisely on Toroi’s back.
He let out a heart-wrenching scream as his body was flung into the ocean; the towering waves over ten meters high swallowed his severely injured and bloodied body, leaving no trace.
The giant serpent took a glance at the ocean surface, where in the distance, lightning flashed fiercely. Ringo Ameyuri, one of the Seven Swords Ninja, was fighting the remaining Hidden Cloud Village ninjas there.
With the same overwhelming force flattening the opponents, there was no need to worry about securing victory.
The serpent twisted its head, its enormous body silently sinking back into the sea, its blood-red eyes diffusing like illusions in the water, swimming toward Toroi’s direction.
On this ocean, it was entirely the serpent’s playground of dominance.
Aiming at Toroi, who was continuing to sink into the deep sea, the giant serpent mercilessly opened its gaping mouth and swallowed him whole.
By the time it swam up from the sea bottom, the thick fog on the ocean had dissipated. Ringo Ameyuri, holding the Lightning Blades Fangs, slowly approached.
The battle over there had also ended simultaneously. None of the dozen or so Hidden Cloud Village ninjas were a match for Ringo Ameyuri, dealt with swiftly by her.
The giant serpent flicked its tongue, placing a file on it—something the Hidden Cloud ninjas had obtained from the Hidden Mist ninjas.
Ringo Ameyuri took the file containing Hidden Mist ninja information, opened it for a look, then frowned as the killing intent in her eyes grew stronger.
Many of the ninjas recorded here were her old acquaintances; not just the Anbu, but information on other Jonin from the village had been partially leaked.
Luckily, she had pursued them back. If this information were leaked to ninjas from external villages, it would be a huge blow to the Hidden Mist Village.
"Next, we just have to wait for Yagura’s actions. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong over there."
Ringo Ameyuri sighed.
If the Hidden Mist continued to squabble like this, it would inevitably become the weakest Ninja Village among the Five Great Nations.
The giant serpent wasn’t very interested in Ringo Ameyuri’s concerns. It simply swam back into the ocean, heading toward the direction of the Land of Lightning. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
With the Hidden Cloud ninjas wiped out, the higher-ups of the Hidden Cloud Village certainly wouldn’t remain idle. There would definitely be scouting units that would make contact with the Hidden Mist ninjas again.
Its next task was to intercept these Hidden Cloud ninjas preparing to venture once more into the Land of Water in the southern seas of the Land of Lightning.
To prevent dragging the Hidden Cloud into a new conflict, which might unexpectedly lead to further incidents arising.

"It seems that the Hidden Cloud is already prepared. Once we clear out the village’s opposition forces, the next step is Konoha, to establish the prestige of the Five Kage for me, the future Fourth Mizukage."
In a tall water tower at the Hidden Mist Village, Suikazan Fuguki, owner of the Great Sword Shark Skin, said this.
His burly, fierce figure, just by standing there, exerted a powerful pressure.
"But, is it really okay to let the Hidden Cloud people know information about our village’s ninjas?"
Jinin Akebino, holder of the Bluntsword·Kabutowari, who was responsible for liaising with the Hidden Cloud ninjas and returning to the village, frowned.
Frankly, he felt that his colleague Fuguki was simply too reckless and self-willed.
