Ding!
The special kunai with a faint lightning light hit the ninja sword, and the force brought by the kunai caused the blade to tremble violently.
In order to remove this force, the black shadow subconsciously pulled his arms along with the force and deviated from the original track.
"who!?"
The black shadow suddenly exclaimed, and his eyes instantly turned to the direction where the kunai had been thrown.
However, in the mist pierced by the lightning, there was no human figure.
Swish!
Just as the black shadow turned around, a figure suddenly appeared next to the kunai that was about to fall to the ground.
Minato held another special kunai in his hand, steadied his body, stomped his feet on the ground, and rushed out suddenly like an arrow from a bow.
The next moment, the black shadow felt a sharp pain in his neck. The pain made his whole body twitch, but his throat had been pierced and he could not make any sound.
The pain lasted only for a moment, and he lost consciousness, and the cold light in his pupils disappeared completely.
After killing the man, Minato pulled the kunai out from the back of his neck.
Now Minato was able to have a brief confrontation with Hatake Sakumo. With his reaction speed, after he used the Flying Thunder God Technique, ordinary jonin would not have time to react.
Originally, Minato was hiding in a street corner not far from here. Not long ago, he heard a woman screaming, so he came over to take a look.
He just happened to see the black shadow ninja about to kill the little dark red-haired girl.
"This Third Mizukage is indeed eliminating dissidents." Minato naturally heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside the courtyard wall, and his brows slightly frowned.
Although he knew that this was politics, Minato still couldn't bear to watch a little girl die in front of him.
Especially since this girl looks slightly similar to Kushina.
After quickly picking up the kunai that he had thrown earlier, Minato turned around and flashed to the side of the dark red-haired girl, ready to take her away.
He cannot stay here for too long. He is now involved in the internal affairs of the Hidden Mist Village. However, for the time being, no one will probably suspect that he is a spy from another country.
The dark red-haired girl lying on the ground still had a deep fear in her eyes that could not be dispelled, and her eyes were dazed.
"Alas." Minato sighed. The girl looked only five years old, and she had experienced such a scene.
Just as he stretched out his hand to help the girl up, Minato suddenly pulled his hand back.
The skin on his fingertips and a small piece of flesh seemed to be corroded.
"What's going on!?"
Minato's eyes froze, and then his senses opened slightly. In the mist in front of him, there were chakra fluctuations.
And the source of that chakra was actually the little girl in front of him.
She seemed to have finally come back to her senses from her fear and was breathing heavily. With each breath she took, there were strong chakra fluctuations in the air in front of her.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Minato was surprised. The news from the Hidden Mist Village had always been very closed, so even though he had experienced the Third Ninja World War and fought against the ninja troops from the Hidden Mist Village, he couldn't determine what secret technique the little girl was using.
But soon his eyes focused, and the chakra turned into a film-like glove on his palm. He stretched out his hand again and reached out to the little girl.
"Shhh!"
The chakra on his palm made a hissing sound as it passed through the air in front of the little girl, and was corroded at an astonishing speed.
Just as he was about to touch the girl, something like magma came out of her mouth.
Swish!
Minato quickly retreated, looking at the girl in front of him with a wary look.
"Shhh!"
At the same time, the magma that the girl spat out fell on the ground, corroding even the ground.
"Is it solidified this time?" Minato asked in confusion. What the girl exhaled just now should be a gaseous substance, and this time, for the sake of self-protection, she even used a solidified attack when he was about to approach her.
This girl could use secret techniques that he had never heard of, but she didn't seem to be from the same clan that was being purged by the Third Mizukage.
Just when Minato was feeling fearful and hesitant about whether to rescue the girl, her head tilted, her eyes closed, and she seemed to have fainted.
Seeing this, Minato approached again, and like before, he came in front of the girl and carried her on his back.
With a little perception, he knew that the girl must have fallen into a coma because she had suddenly used up all her chakra by using the same strange secret method as before.
Under intense danger, the girl's hidden abilities awaken.
What she used should be a Kekkei Genkai.
Even if he didn't take action, the girl's awakened ability would likely catch the black shadow ninja off guard and kill him.
Hearing the sound of fighting coming from just across a wall, Minato paused, then left with the girl on his back.
And inside the wall, the killing continues. This clan that has stood in the Hidden Mist Village for decades will go down in history on this night of murder.
At the same time, on the other side of the Hidden Mist Village, in a cluster of buildings.
The Hidden Mist Village, the Hozuki clan.
A bloody smell wafted through the thick mist, as if even the air had turned bright red.
Corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood dyed the ground red.
"Hozuki Ensui, you actually betrayed the clan." In a courtyard, the only remaining Hozuki members gathered here for their final resistance.
On the opposite side of them, there were dozens of black shadow ninjas wearing masks standing. In addition, there were dozens of ninjas holding ninja swords standing there.
Judging from their physical appearance, they are also ninjas from the Hozuki clan.
But now, the two sides are standing on different positions.
Hearing this, a man in his thirties among the Hozuki Ninjas standing with the black shadow ninja chuckled and said, "So what if I betrayal the clan? You actually want to go against the will of the Third Mizukage. This is a betrayal of the Hidden Mist Village!"
"The Third Mizukage? That evil-minded fellow. The First Mizukage chose Lord Gengetsu and rejected him. You are going against the First-Kage's will!" In the other camp, there was an old man with white hair on his temples, his gaunt face twitching violently.
"I have evil intentions, huh?" Just as the old man finished speaking, a man walked out slowly from the crowd of black shadow ninjas and chuckled, but the eyes hidden under the mask flashed with a cold light, extremely stern.
"Mizukage!?" The old man recognized the smile immediately.
At the same time, the black shadow ninja who came out also took off his mask, revealing a very handsome face. It was The Third Mizukage.
When the other survivors saw this, their eyes were suddenly filled with despair.
In order to wipe them out, the Third Mizukage actually led the team himself, and those he brought were all Anbu Jonin
"You cruel and merciless beast!" The old man's face suddenly became furious and he shouted.
The Third Mizukage did not get angry but smiled, but the smile soon froze.
"Bark as much as you can, you will soon meet the First Mizukage and Second Mizukage."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it gently. Behind him, the black shadow ninja and dozens of ninjas from the Hozuki clan suddenly rushed out!
