Chapter 264: Revenge
After listening to the Third Mizukage's request, Kaito finally understood why he and Harusame had to be recalled.
'As Ao-sensei said, it's because of the ability to fly!'
This time, Kirigakure did not plan to let the Jinchūriki infiltrate the core area of the village before exploding like Kumogakure when they attacked the village before.
Instead, they chose the safer method of airdrop to release the tailed beasts, which required the deployment of flying ninjas.
As for why they didn't bring the other members of the Flying Unit, Kaito had some guesses.
The geographical location of the Kumogakure Village is quite special. It is a village built on a mountain that rises high into the clouds. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, and from time to time there will be thunder and cumulonimbus clouds with lightning.
Not to mention whether the other members of the Flying Unit can fly to such a high mountain. Even if they do, the flying ninjas who are all equipped with metal equipment must be careful not to be affected by lightning in the sky.
Moreover, since the seal of the 'Zero Eight-Tail' can only last for seven days, it is obviously impossible to wait for clear weather after reaching the destination before taking action.
Therefore, it is really necessary for Kaito to carry out this task.
As expected, the Third Mizukage also explained it specifically.
"Harusame, your bubble ninjutsu can easily lead people. And Kaito, you are responsible for assisting Harusame and providing cover for him."
"The village will also send an ANBU team to cooperate with you, but their mission is only to escort you to the vicinity of the Kumogakure Village. The subsequent work can only be completed by the two of you."
"Yes!" x2
The Third Mizukage said so, and the two of them naturally obeyed his orders respectfully.
Carrying the carrier wrapped like a mummy, they went to meet up with the Anbu members participating in this mission.
However, after walking out of the base, Kaito still noticed that it seemed that because "Zero Eight-Tails" had been sealed, the villagers on the street had become much more normal.
Well, there are more quarrels and shouting.
Unfortunately, due to his current mission, Kaito has no time to check out the changes in old man Shimotsuki.
He and Harusame came all the way to the Anbu base. When he saw the Anbu members who cooperated in this operation, Kaito laughed.
There were actually three of his acquaintances, among whom Hozuki Shingetsu and Yuka Tamura were participating as ordinary ANBU members, and the last one was actually
"Shou, when did you return to the village?"
That's right, the leader of this Anbu team is actually Kisame!
Kaito hadn't been back to the front camp for more than two months. After being urgently recalled, he didn't say hello to the others. He rushed back to the village day and night, but he didn't know that Kisame was no longer at the front line.
"Haha, I came back half a month ago, and I can carry out missions with Doctor Kaito again."
Kaito also laughed when he heard this.
Kaito felt a lot more at ease being able to carry out missions with a reliable guy like Kisame.
However, Kaito only reacted at this time.
At the beginning, he and Captain Harusame were directly transferred from the Anbu to the Flying Unit. However, Kisame and Harpoon only became members of Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but they were not transferred out of the Anbu.
One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Kushimaru is still serving as the head of the Anbu.
With Kisame's current strength, it is not surprising for him to become the captain of the Anbu.
Afterwards, Kaito said hello to two other acquaintances, and then everyone left the village together and took a boat to the Land of Lightning.
After all the personnel who carried out this mission left, three figures suddenly appeared on the highest cliff near the entrance of the Kirigakure Village.
It was the Third Mizukage, the green-haired ANBU who always followed behind him, and Yagura.
Yagura was the first to speak.
"I have completed what I promised you, now it's your turn to fulfill your promise!"
However, the Third Mizukage standing in front of Yagura did not react to this. Instead, the Anbu next to him let out a strange laugh.
"Hey, don't be impatient, Yagura-sama. This is just the departure, and it can't be considered as the fulfillment of the promise."
After saying this, the 'Anbu' spread his hands towards Yagura in a provocative manner.
"You!"
Yagura was about to get angry.
It seemed that Third Mizukage had not heard the conversation between the two people before. He suddenly turned around and faced Yagura.
The Third Mizukage's eyes, which had been narrowed all the time, suddenly opened slightly, revealing a creepy red light.
Facing the smiling ANBU and the stern-faced Third Mizukage, Yagura just clenched his fists, said "Remember your promise", and then left.
Sailing on the sea towards the Land of Lightning.
Kaito was alone, leaning on the edge of the deck, looking at the sea.
In his previous life, he had never seen a real ocean until he died, but after transmigration, he seemed to travel there frequently by boat.
Moreover, they were clearly carrying out a dangerous secret mission, and even had to release this kind of "weapon of mass destruction" to the enemy, which was bound to cause the deaths of many innocent people.
Kaito found that he did not feel much guilt, as if he was just a ruthless task machine.
Although he kept reminding himself in his heart that the Kumogakure Village was the enemy and they were the ones who attacked the Kirigakure Village first, he could retaliate against the enemy without any scruples.
But Kaito is still afraid of himself becoming gradually cold-blooded.
'I seem to be becoming more and more like a real blood mist ninja.'
Thinking that after the end of the Third Great Ninja War, the Ninja World may usher in a rare period of peace.
However, as someone who had Transmigrated and faced the Third Great Ninja War head-on, Kaito actually felt that he didn't know how to face a peaceful life.
"I really envy those Transmigrated people who were born in Naruto's time."
Although they still have to face various enemies, and there will still be battles and sacrifices, at least there is a clear distinction between justice and evil in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Win or lose, don't feel disgusted with your actions.
'Invasion and being invaded? Haha, what's the difference between this and gangs fighting for territory?'
'Oh, no, the gangs don't harm their families.'
Kaito couldn't imagine how he would face those people in the Kumogakure Village whose families were destroyed by this action when peacetime came.
Or earlier, the relatives and friends of those killed by him on the battlefield.
Kaito, whose hands were already stained with blood, spread out his palms and stared at the azure sea in a daze.
'In fact, it might be a good idea if the whole village, no, if the whole ninja world, was enclosed in that barrier that absorbs negative emotions.'
At this time, Kisame walked out of the cabin and interrupted Kaito's self-pity.
"Doctor Lu, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the voice, Kaito did not turn around immediately, but put the mask on his face first, and then spoke in a light tone.
"Nothing, it's just that it's rare for me to act as an ANBU again, and I feel a little emotional."
