Chapter 213 Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of Resurrection!
When Firefly received the order, he was watching his wife, Summer, scolding their naughty son, Ang, with a feather duster.
"Then I'll go on my mission." As an experienced Jonin from Hoshigakure, he knew the urgency of the mission.
"Have a safe trip!" Xia Ri watched her husband leave with concerned eyes, without asking about the details of the mission.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Six-year-old Ang seized the opportunity to run over, hugging Yinghuo's leg to escape his mother's feather duster: "Take me with you on the mission!"
Firefly laughed heartily and made a promise with her son that she would bring him something delicious when she returned.
When Firefly bid farewell to her family and arrived at the second training ground, three figures were already waiting there.
Kaguya Kimimaro stood quietly; at the age of ten, her figure already showed a height and stature beyond that of her peers.
He was wearing a loose-fitting dark gray training uniform, over which he wore a lightweight vest in the style of a Star Ninja, and a brand-new Star Ninja headband on his forehead.
She exudes a calmness and detachment that belies her age.
What's most striking are his pure white eyes, the Byakugan from the Hyuga main family, which are now calmly watching the approaching Firefly.
Mizuki Haku stood beside Kimimaro, also around ten years old, wearing a dark sweater underneath a dark green coat. His delicate face carried a gentle smile, like the warm sun in early winter.
The slightly older Xuejian, about fifteen years old, wore the standard combat uniform of a Star Ninja, and her short, dark brown hair made her look capable and neat.
As the most talented member of the Ibri clan, her bloodline limit "smoke transformation" ability is extremely valuable in reconnaissance and special operations, making her difficult to defend against.
Upon seeing Firefly, she immediately straightened her back and exclaimed, "Firefly Jonin!" The three of them bowed in unison, their voices clear and youthful, filled with respect for their senior.
The fireflies' self-illumination swept over the three of them without the slightest disregard.
He knew that the three boys in front of him were not simple. Kimimaro possessed the terrifying bloodline limit Shikotsumyaku, and after transplanting the Byakugan, his strength was unfathomable, and he had already reached the level of a Jonin.
Not only does Hyaku possess the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, which combines offense and defense, but he also has an exquisite Thousand Needles Throwing Technique.
Yukimi's bloodline limit ability to transform into smoke, along with her increasingly sophisticated taijutsu and ninjutsu, have made her a reliable ninja.
They are all among the younger generation of the Star Kingdom, also known as geniuses.
"Ahem, no need for formalities." Hotaru's voice was steady and powerful, carrying the authority of a Jonin: "I am the leader of this support operation."
Let me briefly explain our mission objectives first.
"Proceed to the border of the Land of the Darkness to support my Grand Ninja and his agricultural cooperative development team in dealing with the encirclement and threat from the Land of the Darkness's army. Our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of all our personnel and to defend the land we have painstakingly transformed. Remember the orders: defense is paramount; do not provoke any attacks. However, if attacked, you must fight back with all your might and defeat the enemy! Understand?"
"Understood!" the three replied in unison, their eyes resolute.
"Very good, let's go!" Firefly said no more, turned around and led the way, speeding towards the lower reaches of the Dark River.
Kimimaro, Haku, and Yukimi followed closely behind, their four figures disappearing swiftly like arrows from a bow on the road leading to the border.
A biting wind swept across the thick snow-covered plains of Youhe.
After a full day of traveling at full speed, as night fell, the four Fireflies finally arrived at their destination.
The border of the Land of the Darkness, a land that was once given new life by the Star Ninja.
This area was once a muddy, abandoned beach due to the repeated flooding of the You River.
Thanks to the painstaking efforts of the Earth Release and Water Release ninjas and the construction team, the banks of the Youhe River were firmly bound by sturdy Earth Release dikes, and the excavated tributaries guided the water flow, turning the raging floods into a source of irrigation.
What was once a muddy wasteland has been transformed into a well-planned, fertile plain awaiting planting, a field of hope in the eyes of countless displaced people. However, the scene before them at this moment is astonishing.
This fertile land, brimming with life, was covered by a thick layer of dirty snow.
The planned field ridges were brutally trampled and destroyed, and the newly built simple water conservancy facilities were also damaged to varying degrees.
Even more jarring was the brightly lit area surrounding the temporary, earth-fortified outpost of the Star Kingdom Agricultural Cooperative Development Society.
A heavily guarded military camp!
The crude wooden fence, the patrolling torches, and the faint shouts of soldiers formed a cold blockade.
The flags fluttering in the camp bore the family crests of the daimyo of the You Kingdom and the clan crests of several prominent nobles.
The camp was a mixed bag of people, mostly ordinary soldiers wearing leather armor and carrying spears or bows and arrows, interspersed with a few fierce-looking wandering ninjas carrying various weapons. One could even sense a few faint but malevolent chakra fluctuations, clearly employed wandering ninjas.
Firefly's eyes narrowed, and she gave a concealed gesture to the three people behind her.
The four swift individuals blended into the night, using their superb stealth skills to silently bypass the lax outer patrols of the soldiers and easily infiltrate the besieged Star Ninja base.
The atmosphere inside the compound was oppressive and tense.
Within the low walls built of earth, the space was utilized to the maximum extent.
Besides four or five tired-looking ninjas wearing Star Ninja headbands, there were also more than a hundred workers wearing uniforms from the Second Construction Group of the Star Kingdom, their faces filled with worry.
The largest group consisted of nearly a thousand poor and emaciated refugees and destitute people dressed in rags!
They huddled in makeshift shacks built with earth magic, or leaned against low walls, gathering around campfires for warmth, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
The air was thick with the smells of sweat, earth, and unease.
The appearance of the four Fireflies immediately caught the attention of Star Ninja.
Soon, they were taken to a slightly larger earthen house in the center of the camp, Wu Tai's temporary office.
With a resolute face and a stocky build, Wu Tai was currently frowning and deep in thought as he looked at the map.
He was wearing mud-caked overalls with a Star Ninja vest over them. When he saw Hotaru and the others come in, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his tired face, and he strode over to greet them.
"Hotaru Jonin! You've finally arrived!" Gota patted Hotaru's shoulder forcefully, his voice hoarse but full of strength. Then, his gaze swept over Kimimaro and the other two, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but more so, trust.
"And Kimimaro, Haku, and Yukimi! That's great! With you all here, I feel much more at ease!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Wu Tai," Firefly said in a deep voice, quickly glancing around the simple office.
"Clan Chief!" Xuejian greeted warmly.
Kimimaro and Haku both nodded in agreement.
"I am a high-ranking ninja," Hotaru asked bluntly, "the situation seems worse than the intelligence reports suggested. How long can our food and winter supplies last?"
Wu Tai's face darkened: "The food can last for another half month, but the winter supplies can only last for ten days at most, and that's if we're careful with them."
Those bastards outside not only destroyed our fields and besieged us, but they also cut off all our supply lines. These people—"
He pointed outside the door: "These are all refugees and poor people who responded to our recruitment and were preparing to settle down here. Those noble lords of Youzhi Kingdom turned their backs on us and sent troops to drive them away. They had nowhere to go but to flee to us. Now, we and these thousand-plus people are consuming a huge amount of food and winter supplies every day."
Wu Tai's tone was full of anger and sympathy for the common people.
Although he was able to lead a few Star Ninjas to directly cut through this army of ordinary people, he was no longer the cowardly man who hid in a tree hole with his clan. Here, he represented the Star Kingdom.
He has many more things to consider now, and he can no longer act impulsively as before.
Therefore, Wu Tai has been handling the situation with restraint, waiting for Lord Shura's instructions.
Firefly nodded, repeating Menma's orders: "Lord Shura's orders are clear: hold your ground and await reinforcements. Do not launch any preemptive attacks; observe the situation. However, if the enemy dares to attack, you must retaliate with swift and decisive action, crush the invading enemy, and demonstrate the might of our Star Ninja! Make the enemy pay the price!"
Wutai had already received Menma's orders through the engraved chakra network, and nodded vigorously: "I understand your orders, sir. If they dare to extend their claws, I will make sure they never return!"
Next, Firefly and Gota discussed the defenses.
Gota's ninjas had been on high alert for two days and were exhausted. So the two of them decided that tonight, Kimimaro, Haku, and Yukimi would each be in charge of one direction, while Gota and the other ninjas would take turns in charge of another direction. Hotaru would provide support from the center and form a support team with the other resting ninjas.
"No problem!" "Yes, ma'am!" Kimimaro and the other two immediately accepted the order.
Meanwhile, inside the largest and most magnificent tent in the You Kingdom's military camp.
Matsukatsu Tonosuke, the chief strategist of the Wind and Flower Angry Waves, was leisurely sipping his hot tea, listening to a portly nobleman from the Land of the Darkness, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, describing the situation inside the encirclement with great enthusiasm.
"Lord Songyue, you have no idea, there are not only a hundred or so Star Ninjas and craftsmen inside that dilapidated earthen wall, but also over a thousand lowly commoners! They are all useless trash who only waste food! If it weren't for the fact that those Star Ninjas have some strange methods, I would have ordered a strong attack long ago and driven them all out to feed the wolves!" The nobleman waved his fat hand, his face full of disdain.
Matsukatsuki Kyonosuke put down his teacup, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his narrow eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips: "Oh? Thousands of refugees? That's a bargaining chip we can use."
He looked at the Wolf Fang Avalanche Jonin standing to the side, wearing ice-blue chakra armor.
"Avalanche-kun," Matsutsuki Kyonosuke's voice held a seductive quality, "Since the Star Ninja are holed up and won't come out, we need to put some 'pressure' on them, test their strength, and incidentally—create some chaos to make those lowly people even more terrified. Chaos often brings unexpected 'opportunities.'"
Beneath the Wolf Fang Avalanche helmet, his eyes remained impassive. He merely nodded slightly, his voice icy: "Understood. To what extent is it necessary?"
"There's no need to launch a direct assault on the outpost; it would only increase casualties." Matsukatsu Dennosuke chuckled sinisterly. "Take three men, sneak in, cause some damage, kill a few Star Ninjas or craftsmen, set some fires, and throw the place into chaos."
"The key is to test their defensive capabilities and reaction speed. Remember, the movement must be 'appropriate'—enough to inflict pain, but not so much that they resort to desperate measures or use those lowly people as human shields. Once it's done, withdraw immediately."
"Understood." Wolf Fang Avalanche replied succinctly.
He led three Chunin subordinates, all equipped with chakra armor and exuding a chilling aura, and the four of them, like snow leopards blending into the night, silently left the military camp and stealthily headed towards the Star Ninja's base.
Wolf Fang Avalanche chose to target the eastern outskirts, where the defenses of the outpost were relatively weak and the view was wide open.
The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind howled.
With the boost provided by their chakra armor and the unique snow-covered stealth skills of the Snow Country ninjas, the four members of Wolf Fang Avalanche easily avoided the rudimentary warning traps and scattered sentries on the outskirts of their base.
Like four shadows gliding along the ground, they quickly approached the low wall, about three meters high, reinforced with earth magic.
Wolf Fang Avalanche made a gesture, and the four of them exerted their strength at the same time. Chakra flowed slightly on their leg armor, and they leaped up lightly, preparing to silently scale the earthen wall.
However, just as Wolf Fang Avalanche's toes were about to step onto the snow on the wall, a cold gaze instantly locked onto him!
On the wall, a figure stood quietly, seemingly out of nowhere.
He was a boy who looked to be only about ten years old, with white hair fluttering slightly in the cold wind, and wearing a dark gray Star Ninja standard combat uniform.
What's most unsettling are his eyes; the pupils are pure white!
In the dim light of the night, those eyes seemed to glow faintly, coldly looking down at them as if a god were looking down at ants.
"White eye?!" Wolf Fang Avalanche was startled and his movements subconsciously stopped for a moment.
He never expected that the Star Ninja's sentry would be such a young child, let alone that the other party possessed the legendary Byakugan!
This is one of the two great families in the ninja world who possess powerful eye techniques!
Even the ninjas of the Land of Snow have heard of the Byakugan and Sharingan!
However, the Snow Ninja made no mention of this in their intelligence about the Land of Stars!
After the initial shock, a surge of anger at being looked down upon and the cold-bloodedness of a professional assassin quickly replaced the surprise.
So what if a ten-year-old child rolls their eyes at you?
How much combat experience do they have?
"Kid, you're blocking my way." Wolf Fang Avalanche's voice came through the mask, filled with disdain.
He didn't even bother to take action himself, and simply nodded to a tall Chunin beside him: "Xueyan, take care of him. Be quick, don't alert those inside."
The Snow Ninja Chunin named Xueyan grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with cruelty as he looked at the slender figure on the wall.
He didn't take Kimimaro seriously at all.
"Kid, don't open your eyes so wide in your next life!" He shouted, his chakra exploding beneath his feet, ice crystals condensing on the surface of his armor. He charged towards the wall like a cannonball, the sharp kunai in his hand carrying a chilling aura, aimed straight at Kimimaro's throat!
Its speed was extremely fast, clearly due to the amplification provided by the Ice Release Armor.
Faced with this fatal blow, Kimimaro on the wall showed no change in expression.
Those pure white eyes clearly captured the tremor of every muscle in the other person, the flow of every strand of chakra, and even the subtle trajectory of the kunai piercing the air.
Just as the kunai was about to touch his skin!
"Plop!"
A sickening, muffled thud, like bones piercing flesh, suddenly rang out!
The momentum of Xueyan Qianchong came to an abrupt halt, and the smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by extreme pain and unbelievable terror!
He slowly lowered his head and saw a sharp, white bone spur that, like a thorn growing in hell, had suddenly burst out from Kimimaro's raised palm and pierced his heart with perfect accuracy!
Scalding hot blood gushed out from the cold bone spurs, dripping onto the snow on the wall, blooming into dazzling red plum blossoms.
"Nagu"
The strange sound came from Xueyan's throat, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
Kimimaro flicked his arm slightly, and the bone spur piercing through Yuki's heart instantly retracted, leaving only a tiny hole in his palm.
Xueyan's body fell from the top of the wall like a tattered sack, crashing onto the snow below with a "shatter," splashing up a cloud of bloody snow foam.
The entire process was lightning fast and silent, yet it possessed a chillingly cruel beauty.
"!!!"
Wolf Fang Avalanche and the other two Snow Ninja below the wall suddenly narrowed their pupils, a chill instantly shooting from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
That was the instinctive tremor in the face of unknown terror!
A ten-year-old child, with a mere flick of his wrist, instantly and brutally killed a Chunin?!
"Shikotsumyaku?! A remnant of the Kaguya clan?!" Wolf Fang Avalanche was, after all, a Jonin with exceptional knowledge. He instantly recognized this terrifying bloodline limit, and alarm bells rang in his mind. He no longer underestimated it in the slightest!
"Attack him together! Use the ice packs to trap him! Quickly!"
The remaining two Snow Ninja Chunin were also shocked by this horrific scene, their eyes turning bloodshot with fear and rage.
They simultaneously formed hand seals, and their chakra armor instantly glowed with an icy blue light, radiating a strong chill.
"Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall!" a snow ninja roared, slamming his palms into the ground.
The snow on the ground instantly froze and bulged, forming several thick, sharp-tipped ice pillars that rapidly pierced towards Kimimaro on the wall from all directions, like a cage, attempting to trap and kill him. "Ice Release: Blizzard Technique!" Another snow ninja took a deep breath, and with the amplification of his chakra armor, he exhaled a large amount of biting wind mixed with sharp ice crystals, howling towards Kimimaro. Not only did it obscure his vision, but the dense ice crystals were also like countless flying knives, enough to cut a person into a bloody mess!
A chill instantly filled the air, the temperature on the wall plummeted, ice crystals danced in the air, and vision became completely blurred.
Wolf Fang Avalanche also moved at the same time. He did not form hand seals, but instead frantically poured chakra into the armor on his legs. His whole body moved at high speed along the wall like a ghost, and a long sword made of solid ice instantly condensed in his hand.
The blade gleamed with a deadly cold light, and under the cover of the ice storm, it silently stabbed towards Kimimaro's ribs from the side!
Sharp angles, ruthless beyond measure!
Faced with this all-around ice-style attack from all directions, Kimimaro's pure white eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of Resurrection!"
A deep, clear shout rang out.
Kimimaro's body instantly spun at high speed, pivoting on his left foot, like a spinning top!
It wasn't the blue vortex formed by Gentle Fist chakra, but countless incredibly sharp, snow-white bone spikes, like death lotuses blooming in an instant, bursting out from his limbs and joints!
Ding ding ding!
*Pfft! Pfft!*
A series of rapid, rain-like impacts and penetrating sounds rang out simultaneously!
Those massive ice pillars that pierced through were like fragile glass in the face of the indestructible bone spikes, shattering instantly!
The swirling ice crystal storm was completely shredded and deflected by the rapidly rotating bone spike barrier!
The treacherous and cunning ice blade of the Wolf Fang Avalanche was precisely blocked by a suddenly thrusting arm bone, sending out a trail of ice shards!
The bone spur barrier perfectly defends against all attacks!
The rotation stopped, and the bone spurs retracted into the body as if they were alive.
Kimimaro reappeared, completely unharmed, not even a scratch on his clothes from the ice crystals.
He coldly looked down at the three members of Wolf Fang Avalanche, who were forced back by the bone spikes and whose faces were full of horror.
"How is this possible?!" A snow ninja chunin who released an ice pillar cried out in shock. His ice release was so vulnerable in the face of the opponent's strange bones!
In the instant his mind wavered, Kimimaro made his move!
So fast that it left only a blur in its wake!
"The Dance of the Tang Pine!"
puff!puff!puff!
Several sharp arm bones shot out from Kimimaro's elbows and shoulders in an instant, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes!
The snow ninja had no time to react; his protective chakra armor was easily pierced as if it were made of paper!
Several bone spurs pierced his throat, heart, and abdomen with pinpoint accuracy!
Before he could even scream, the immense impact pinned him to the ice behind him. Blood flowed down the bone spurs and the ice, and he died instantly!
"Damn it!" Another snow ninja who had unleashed Fubuki's fury was furious; the tragic death of his companion had ignited his ferocity.
He frantically activated his chakra armor, his hands forming hand seals: "Ice Release: Swallow Blizzard!"
Countless ice swallows shot out at lightning speed, like thousands of needles or darts, raining down on Kimimaro!
Kimimaro remained expressionless, his pure white eyes locking onto his target.
He didn't even bother to defend himself, leaning his body slightly forward.
"The Dance of the Willow!"
His body seemed to lose weight instantly, becoming incredibly flexible, like a willow branch swaying in the wind.
Under the all-seeing gaze of the White Eye, the gaps between the seemingly dense ice swallows were clearly visible.
His figure moved and swayed eerily through the rain of a thousand trees, moving so fast that he left behind afterimages, and not a single ice swallow could touch his body!
Like death dancing on the edge of a knife!
In an instant, Kimimaro passed through the icy rain and was already close to the last Snow Ninja Chunin.
With his right hand fingers together, five sharp finger bones, like short swords, suddenly popped out from his knuckles.
"Ten fingers piercing through bullets!"
Puff puff puff!
Five streaks of white light flashed and disappeared!
The snow ninja's chest and abdomen were instantly pierced by five bloody holes!
He looked down in disbelief at his gushing wound, swayed, and fell backward.
In the blink of an eye, all three Snow Ninja Chunin were wiped out!
The Wolf Fang Avalanche was terrifying to watch!
This is not a battle, it is a one-sided massacre!
The boy in front of me, with his Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), is practically a monster crawled out of hell!
Fear finally overwhelmed his fighting spirit. Without hesitation, he turned around, frantically activating his chakra armor, preparing to flee!
"Trying to leave?" Kimimaro's icy voice was like the pronouncement of death.
He raised his hand, palm facing Wolf Fang Avalanche's back, and several bone spurs instantly protruded from his arm, like a crossbow ready to be fired.
"Dance of the Camellia, Piercing Shot of the Willow!" Several sharp bone spikes, infused with immense power, tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and shot straight at Wolf Fang Avalanche's back!
Wolf Fang Avalanche sensed the deadly killing intent behind him, his soul trembling with fear. He desperately twisted his body to try to dodge, while turning around and holding the ice blade horizontally in front of his chest to block!
clang!
Pfft!
One bone spur was barely knocked away by the ice blade, but the other two seemed to have eyes; one pierced through his shoulder, and the other grazed his thigh, leaving a spray of blood! The intense pain made him pause, and his speed decreased sharply.
"Ice Release Secret Technique: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal!" A clear yet icy voice suddenly rang out.
Wolf Fang Avalanche looked up in horror and saw that countless huge, smooth, mirror-like ice crystals had instantly condensed in the air around them!
They hovered in the air, completely blocking his escape route!
Each ice mirror reflects the image of a handsome young man.
It was Mizuki Haku who rushed over after sensing the battle fluctuations!
"Is this the real Ice Release bloodline limit?!" Wolf Fang Avalanche looked at the ice release scene that far exceeded what his chakra armor could create, and a huge sense of absurdity and despair welled up in his heart.
Bai stood before an ice mirror, his eyes clear yet tinged with anger: "Using such a crude imitation, you dare call yourself an Ice Release user? Those who defile the purity of ice do not deserve to live in this world."
His hands formed a mudra in front of his chest.
"Secret Technique: Thousand Kill Water Flight!"
As Bai Qingleng's voice fell, all the ice mirrors instantly shone brightly!
Countless roots, formed from extreme ice and gleaming with a deadly cold light, shot out from each ice mirror as if drawn by an invisible force!
They were not chaotic, but under Bai's precise control, they were like a torrential downpour, or like a swarm of living bees, completely covering the space where the Wolf Fang Avalanche was located from all directions, up, down, left, and right!
Its density, speed, and angle were hundreds or thousands of times greater than the "Swallow Snowstorm" released before the Wolf Fang Avalanche!
"Ah!!!" Wolf Fang Avalanche let out a desperate and unwilling roar, wielding the ice blade with all its might, urging the armor to release cold air to form a shield.
Ding ding ding!
Puff puff puff!
The sounds of ice blades blocking and shields shattering were instantly drowned out by the muffled thuds of countless books piercing flesh.
Wolf Fang Avalanche's body trembled violently, like a rag doll in a storm.
His chakra armor groaned under the relentless piercing, ice crystals shattering and flying everywhere, but it was no match for the all-pervasive Thousand Needles of Ice!
Just a few breaths later.
The ice mirror dissipated, and a cold wind swept by.
Wolf Fang Avalanche stood stiffly in place, his entire body covered in dense, gleaming ice needles, making him look like a hedgehog.
Blood dripped down the tree, pooling on the snow to form a small, glaringly crimson stain.
His wide eyes, frozen in extreme fear and disbelief, had completely lost their luster.
His prized chakra armor was now riddled with holes and cracks.
"Thump." The body of the Wolf Fang Avalanche fell straight forward, crashing onto the cold snow, and then fell silent.
Kimimaro slowly retracted the bone spikes, his pure white eyes sweeping over the four corpses on the ground as if they were piles of garbage.
Bai Qingling landed beside him, looked at the corpse of Wolf Fang Avalanche, and sighed softly: "His ice was too impure."
He then turned to Kimimaro, his eyes filled with concern: "Kimimaro, are you alright?"
Kimimaro shook his head, his voice still calm and indifferent: "It's nothing. Just some small fry."
At this moment, Hotaru, Gota, Yukimi, and several other Star Ninjas at the base were also alarmed by the intense chakra fluctuations and sounds of battle, and quickly rushed to the east wall.
Looking at the four gruesome corpses clad in ice-blue armor on the snowy ground outside the wall, especially the terrifying sight of Wolf Fang Avalanche riddled with senpai (a type of Japanese herb), Gota gasped: "Hiss—this is... Wolf Fang Avalanche from the Land of Snow?! Did you handle it?"
Firefly's gaze fell on Kimimaro and Haku, her eyes filled with shock and admiration.
Although he knew the two were exceptionally strong, he was still shocked to see the countless kimonos and bone spikes remaining on the bodies of the four Snow Ninjas who had been pierced.
Wolf Fang Avalanche Haolie was also a Jonin from the Land of Snow. He led an elite squad on a night raid, but was easily killed by two teenagers.
"They were the ones who wanted to launch a sneak attack," Kimimaro stated simply.
Haku nodded and looked at Hotaru: "Hotaru, what's next?"
Firefly took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. Her gaze swept towards the brightly lit military camp of the Netherworld Kingdom in the distance. She snorted softly, "Leave the corpse of Wolf Fang Avalanche behind. Gather information on the other three corpses, then throw them back at the entrance of the Netherworld Kingdom's military camp."
