Chapter 265: Freezing the Tailed Beast Bomb
Wearing the ANBU mask, Kaito hid all his emotions again.
That's right, although Kaito and Harusame had already been transferred out of the Anbu, they still wore masks during this secret mission and acted under their previous Anbu code names.
Although it does have some meaning of covering one's ears and stealing the bell, it is still better than doing bad things blatantly.
This mission will be the same as previous Anbu missions and will not be recorded in detail in the ninja files.
"There's nothing to be sentimental about. Ninjas exist as tools. Whether they are ordinary ninjas or ANBU, they just need to complete their mission faithfully."
Perhaps he could tell that Kaito was not speaking insincerely, so Kisame said something that was not sure whether it could be considered comforting.
Kaito shrugged, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer, and simply changed the subject.
"Shou, do you find this mission a little weird?"
"Um?"
Since this was related to the mission, Kisame's tone became more serious.
"Did Doctor Lu find anything wrong?"
'Nothing is right!'
Kaito really wanted to say so, but in fact, he felt it was strange mainly because the sense of déjà vu of this mission was too strong. If he really wanted to know what was wrong, he couldn't say anything for a while.
Finally, he had to speak vaguely.
"Last time when Kumogakure attacked, they at least sent out the Fourth Generation Ai and two tailed beasts. Now there are only a few of us. Aren't we a little insufficient in strength?"
Kisame looked at Kaito strangely, and then said with some relief.
"When the Kumogakure attacked before, the Third Mizukage-sama was still in the village, and they launched the attack from the ground."
"This time, all of Kumogakure's main combat forces are in the Land of Fire. The Kumogakure headquarters is very empty, and the attack will be launched from the air by Doctor Lu and Captain Fuku. If nothing unexpected happens, there may not even be a battle."
"Well, even if a fight occurs, I believe that with your ability this task can be easily completed."
"Um, haha, okay." Kaito smiled awkwardly and didn't explain much.
Fortunately, an Anbu ran over at this time.
"Captain Shou, Lu-sama. We are almost at the border of the Land of Lightning!"
Although they have reached the border of the Land of Lightning, the location of the Kumogakure Village itself is not close to the coastline.
The group still has a long way to go.
After the ship docked, only two Anbu were left on board to drive the ship away, while the rest filed off the ship.
The 'Carrier No. 0', which was wrapped in layers of seals, was carried off the ship by Harusame, who had just walked out of the cabin.
However, When everyone had just stood firmly on the shore and the boat had not yet left.
The 'anticipation' in Kaito's mind suddenly exploded!
The warning alarm was much stronger than any previous warning, and the breath of death was overwhelming.
Kaito suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the danger warning.
At the end of the sight, a hot spot emitting dazzling red light is rapidly enlarging.
With super dynamic vision, the red light ball still shot towards where everyone was standing at an extremely fast speed.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!!!"
After a loud shout, Kaito didn't bother to remind others.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, Kaito suddenly leaped into the air, put his hands together and formed seals quickly, facing the huge energy shell that was already within reach.
"Ice Style: Absolute Zero!"
Following a roar from Kaito, endless amounts of extremely cold air instantly surged out of his palms and directly collided with the huge Tailed Beast Bomb.
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched at this moment, and the flying Tailed Beast Bomb was infected by the extremely cold air the moment it came into contact with Absolute Zero.
Above the red light that originally symbolized destruction and danger, a cold white aura was spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually devouring the entire Tailed Beast Bomb.
By the time the Tailed Beast Bomb touched Kaito's palm, the violent energy within it had been completely frozen, turning into a giant ice ball.
"Dang~" A huge collision sounded.
A large amount of air spurted out from Kaito's shoulder blades behind him, and the 'Tailed Beast Bomb' ice ball in front of him was actually blocked by him and finally fell to the ground.
The people from Kirigakure, who had just realized what had happened, stared at the scene in front of them in amazement. There was no fear or relief in their eyes after escaping death, only incomparable shock.
At this moment, Kaito's body was already covered with a layer of fine white frost.
The figure that seemed small compared to the huge tailed beast and the ice ball now looked extremely majestic, protecting the people of Kirigakure behind it.
If they raise their sight at this time, they can see it.
With Kaito as the center, the area within a radius of several hundred meters in front of Kaito was also covered by a thin layer of frost. It seemed as if time had jumped to a freezing winter in an instant, and this was just the scene caused by the aftermath of 'absolute zero'.
Kaito withdrew his hands and dropped them to the ground, breathing slightly and exhaling a long stream of white air.
He casually shook off the white frost on his body and looked at the huge ice ball in front of him.
"Damn it! Where's the secret operation we agreed on?!"
If it weren't for Kaito discovering the attack in time and preventing the Tailed Beast Bomb from falling into the crowd.
If it weren't for Kaito's recent improvement in control over Ice Style, the spread of the aftermath of "absolute zero" would have been limited.
If it weren't for the [Frozen Skin] he drew earlier, which not only brought Kaito excellent defense, but also greatly enhanced his resistance to freezing.
All the Kirigakure ninjas present here will be killed instantly without any clear reason.
[Ability: Frozen Skin] (Purple item: When condensing chakra, a layer of imperceptible ice armor can be covered on the body surface. This ice armor will not affect any actions of the owner of this ability, and can provide excellent defensive capabilities.) (Frozen Skin = Refrigerate)
Kaito looked at the fine cracks on his arm that were recovering rapidly. If it weren't for this ability that was somewhat similar to Gaara's "Sand Armor", even if he had successfully frozen the Tailed Beast Bomb, he would probably have been injured internally by the inertial impact.
"Doctor Kaito!"
"Kaito!"
At this moment, most of the Anbu members, including Kisame, no longer cared about any secret operations. They quickly gathered around Kaito and stood guard towards the front.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
Hundreds of Kumogakure figures instantly appeared in front of everyone, led by the AB brothers, the fourth generation Ai and Killer Bee.
The Fourth Generation Ai stepped on the frozen ground beneath his feet, looked at the Tailed Beast Bomb that had turned into an ice ball next to Kaito, and spoke with shock in his tone.
"When did such a strong guy appear in the Yuki Clan who can freeze the Tailed Beast Bomb?!"
The fourth generation Ai looked at the somewhat familiar figure of Kaito, but did not recognize him at first.
It was Killer Bee who was standing beside him who elbowed him and reminded him.
"Brother~Healing, bastard, little devil"
"Healing? Kaito! Gale Wing! It's actually you!"
