Whoosh!
The huge blade was extremely fast, and it fell on Empress Shōmei's body almost instantly.
"Whoosh."
The blade fell, but there was no blood splashing. The moment Ghost Shark touched her, her body turned into a pool of water.
"Water Clone …"
Ghost Shark's eyes narrowed. Since Empress Shōmei came out of the Mizukage Building, he followed her all the way.
When did she use the Water Body Technique?
Just when he was surprised, he suddenly noticed that the fog on the street he was on seemed to be thicker than the surroundings.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the clothes on his body began to make a sound of being corroded. He glanced at it and found that it was gradually melting.
"This is … Boiling Release?"
Before the assassination, Ghost Shark certainly knew Empress Shōmei's information in detail.
This was one of the two Kekkei Genkai that Empress Shōmei could use.
The speed at which the Boiling Release corroded was extremely fast. While he was still in shock, the clothes on his body had already been dissolved into many large holes, and his skin felt a piercing pain.
Whoosh!
Ghost Shark jumped up and wanted to get out of the street, but the top of his head suddenly became dark.
He suddenly looked up and saw a thick liquid that looked like magma but full of corrosive smell falling down.
Lava Release!
His escape route was blocked. He clenched the sword in his hand and swept it at the lava.
It was directly divided into two, and the part that was cut seemed to shrink by more than half in an instant.
"Great Blade Shark Muscle, it's really you …"
Ghost Shark's figure fell on the roof. In front of him, Empress Shōmei took off her Mizukage hat and looked at him.
"Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish died accidentally in a mission. It seems that it's not an accident …"
"Oh, that useless guy, I killed him." Ghost Shark grinned, showing his white and sharp teeth.
Empress Shōmei's face sank, because the person in front of her was indeed much stronger than her predecessor in terms of skill and the use of Shark Muscle.
Today, no one was stronger than her among the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.
"Why did you betray the village?"
If it's just killing a boss, according to the rules of the Mist, it's not a felony.
The name of the Seven Legendary Ninja Swordsmen, including the seven swords, was inherited by strength.
"Betrayal?"
"I just lost interest in the so-called village. I want to live in a different way."
Ghost Merman grinned. Empress Shōmei couldn't understand the meaning of his words at all.
Suddenly, his hands formed a seal.
Empress Shōmei's eyes twitched. In order to lure out the ghost mermaid, she didn't inform the Dark Department of the Mist.
Seeing his hand seals, Empress Shōmei also began to make hand seals.
"Water Escape …"
"Great Waterfall!"
"Water Formation Pillars!"
Their ninjutsu was completed almost at the same time. They opened their mouths, and a huge torrent swept out.
Boom!
A ten-meter water curtain and a water pillar were formed almost instantly and then collided with each other in mid-air.
But this was just the beginning. Ghost Merman kept increasing the power of Chakra. The huge torrent almost covered a small area of the Mist Village.
And under this area, there were many civilians.
This was his real purpose.
"What a terrifying amount of Chakra!"
Empress Shōmei was shocked. Although the user of Shark Muscle must be a ninja with powerful Chakra, the amount of Chakra of Ghost Merman was simply terrifying.
She had to cast a stronger water formation pillar to resist Ghost Merman's ninjutsu. Otherwise, the civilians would suffer heavy losses.
Ghost Merman stopped casting and looked at Empress Shōmei with killing intent in his eyes.
However, with such a movement, the Mist ninjas will come in a short time. Even the attack failed. Of course, he couldn't kill Empress Shōmei.
Whoosh!
Immediately, his figure flashed and disappeared from Empress Shōmei's sight.
"Damn it!"
Empress Shōmei's pretty face changed slightly. With her strength, if she didn't have any scruples, Ghost Merman wouldn't be able to escape so easily.
It's just that in their own village, ninjas like them have many restrictions.
Eight years ago, in Wood Leaf, if it wasn't for Watergate protecting the ninjas and civilians in the village, the masked man and the black-robed man couldn't escape.
Whoosh!
Shortly after Ghost Merman left, some Anbu and Jonin rushed to Empress Shōmei's side.
She didn't immediately send people to track Ghost Merman because the masked man was behind him. This time difference was enough for him to escape from the village.
Immediately, these Mist ninjas used fire ninjutsu to evaporate the huge torrent created by Ghost Merman.
Patter!
After the process was completed, the sky above the Mist village began to become darker, and then it began to rain.
...
Mizukage Office.
"Sama, there is no trace of Ghost Merman in the village."
Empress Shōmei certainly didn't want to go home. Many Mist ninjas searched the village, but they didn't find any trace of Ghost Merman.
As she expected, after Empress Shōmei, no ninja saw Ghost Merman.
"It seems that although the guy's identity was exposed, he still left some spies in the village …"
They thought that after the masked man's identity was exposed, even the people he recruited as the Fourth Mizukage wouldn't listen to him anymore.
But in fact, it didn't seem to be the case.
"It seems that we have to carry out a purge of the people in the village immediately. We must wipe out the masked man's remaining henchmen." Mei's eyes sank.
"It must be done, but not now, the mood of the civilians and ninjas in the village has just stabilized."
"Since he can send people to assassinate me, I'm afraid that the information about the Mist village will soon be spread, and it will be known by other ninja countries."
"Although I don't know what their purpose is, we lost the Fourth Mizukage and the Bijuu, our strength is weak, and we can't avoid being robbed by other countries …"
"What are you going to do?" Mei asked.
Empress Shōmei stood up and took a deep breath and said: "The only way now is to ask for help from the Land of Fire and Wood Leaf …"
"Ask for help?
With what the Mist did in the Third Shinobi World War, even if the current Naruto is Minato Watergate, it's already the limit not to loot a burning house, right? "
When mentioning the name of Minato Watergate, Mei was still a bit disappointed. She didn't expect that the boy from back then would become the strongest ninja in the world today.
"Whether it's successful or not, this is the only way we can go …"
Empress Shōmei wasn't very sure, but she always felt that the masked man and the Ghost Merman's assassination shouldn't be as simple as eradicating her.
What's more, Minato-sama and Konoha shouldn't want the situation in the Shinobi World to be unstable again, right?
