Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 370

On Suna unit's side.

Pakura and Maki wrapped bandages over each other's injuries. At this time Maki suddenly asked, “What now sensei? What should we do? Should we check out the situation of Kazekage-sama or should we unite go towards Amegakure from where that Golden Light came?”

Pakura had a thoughtful look, different from Maki she knows exactly what that Golden light means, it means that 'Kuroto-sama must have fought against the leader of Akatsuki… What is the outcome?'

Pakura then put her hand over her chest and thought, 'The cursed tag implanted inside my heart by Kuroto-sama has not disintegrated… it means that Kuroto-sama is still alive… so either the leader of Akatsuki is dead, or perhaps the battle resulted in no conclusion… Anyhow, I must meet up with the others and learn what exactly happened…'

Maki looked at Pakura's thoughtful look and asked, “Sensei… what's wrong?”

Pakura shook her head and said, “Nothing… we must move forward and meet up with Chiyo-baasama and Ebizo-jiisama… and then unite with the other villages.”

Maki nodded and then the pair of Kunoichi moved forward.

And while Pakura and Maki went on their way, Hoshigaki Kisame was already far away from Amegakure and was on his way to Kirigakure.

Kisame and Zabuza's mission assigned to them by Suikazan Fuguki was to stop the Anbu Commander of Sunagakure.

So the two of them ended up fighting Pakura of the Scorch and her disciple Maki who uses some kind of Cloth Binding Jutsu.

In starting both he and Zabuza fought the two Kunoichi but Pakura's strength was much stronger than the two had imagined.

It was only thanks to the fact that the weakness of Shakuton is Suiton that the two managed to stay alive.

But midway, the tide of the battle started to tilt towards the two Kunoichi at an extremely fast pace, and that was when Zabuza ran away…

From beginning to end Zabuza had no intention of confronting the Anbu Commander and suddenly retreated and went towards the location where Suikazan and, Utakata fought the Kazekage.

With him left alone, Kisame still fought the two Kunoichi alone, but the battle was one-sided and it was only thanks to his massive chakra that he somehow managed to keep them occupied until he received the retreat signal.

And he did as he was ordered, Kisame instantly retreated leaving the battle halfway finished upon reviving the signal.

He was unable to kill either of the two… but it did not matter, he did complete his mission and that was what was important.

Although he received many injuries it wasn't anything that couldn't be treated.

At this time, Momochi Zabuza who ran away from the battle with Pakura was now walking to the place where Kazekage fought against Utakata and Fuguki.

Looking around, he saw clear traces of the battle, but what surprised him was that no one was present here, neither Kazekage nor Fuguki or Utakata.

Zabuza did see a circle inside which a triangle was drawn, and the strange thing was that the shape was drawn from blood, it was as if this was a ritual site. 'What the hell happened here, some sort of bloody ritual or something?' Zabuza thought in wonder when his eyes landed on a greatsword wrapped in bandages lying on the battlefield.

Zabuza's expression changed when he realized what exactly was that thing “That is…!”

Not believing his eyes, Zabuza walked closer to the place. He had to verify if what he is seeing is really true or not!

“This is the real thing… but if this is here… does that mean Fuguki is dead…?” – Zabuza muttered in surprise.

Then his eyes brightened and he started laughing, Zabuza then picked up the sword wrapped in bandages in his hands, “Hahaha… From now on, the great sword Samehada, the strongest of the seven swords of Mist shall be mine. Using this very sword, I shall become the next Mizukage, Godaime Mizukage Momochi Zabuzsama the one to rule the land of Water!” – As he said that his ambitions were clearly displayed, and while Carrying Samehada on his back he started running towards the direction of Kirigakure.

“A great revolution is awaiting us!”

Somewhere in the Land of Rain, a lone figure was slowly limping away from Amegakure. This was none other than Utakata, the Jinchuriki fo Rokubi.

Because Akatsuki had to unexpectedly retreat, therefore, they did not have the opportunity to capture the Jinchuriki of Rokubi, as such, he too was left alone similar to how Killer Bee was left.

With everything over, Utakata left the battlefield alone, but not in the direction of Kirigakure… he has no intentions of ever going back to that place anymore.

Sometime later Suna Unit side.

Under Hokage's order, Jiraiya led Hyuga Kuroto and Might Guy to check on the situation of the Suna Unit.

And when he reached the Suna side battlefield, specifically where Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo fought against the Akatsuki, he witnessed a messed-up site… it was filled with nothing but corpses with only three people who were conscious that being Pakura of the scorch, her disciple Maki, and finally an Anbu who has lost both of his arms and a leg.

Incredulous, Jiraiya can't help but ask, “What exactly happened here?”

Pakura first looked at Kuroto for a second, 'He is not Kuroto-sama!', then she turned towards Jiraiya and said, “Our unit was assaulted by a combined force of Akatsuki and Kirigakure…”

“Wait… did you just say Kirigakure? But what were they doing here?” – Jiraiya's expression changed immediately and he asked, “Where is Kazekage-dono?”

“Kazekage-sama… he… he is missing…” – Pakura said with an expressionless tone.

“Missing?!” – Jiraiya was taken aback, 'Not dead or injured but missing?'

Pakura nodded, “I would like to believe that he is still alive… but it's hard to say… Kazekage-sama fought against Suikazan Fuguki one of the seven Swordsman of Kirigakure, and the Jinchuriki of Rokubi, Utakata…”

Jiraiya frowned, “But even with that Kazekage-dono should have been capable of fending his own against those two…”

Pakura nodded, “This is exactly what is confusing me… he should have been yet he is missing… and neither Suikazan Fuguki nor Utakata is at the site of the battle… all that's left there is a site of destruction at the center of which a ritual circle made out of the blood is present… and nothing else.”

Might Guy muttered, “A ritual circle made out of blood? Is there anyone in Akatsuki who uses such a Jutsu? Or someone from Kirigakure?”

Hyuga Kuroto shook his head, “Not that I can remember.”

Since 'Hyuga Kuroto' here is actually Sandaime Kazekage Puppet, therefore, he is not aware of anyone with such Jutsu, had it been the real Hyuga Kuroto, he would have figured out who exactly this person is.

Jiraiya questioned, “And what about the others… Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo?”

Pakura said, “Both of them are alive… but… their conditions are critical… both Chiyo-baasama and Ebizo-jiisama are injured and heavily poisoned… most likely by Sasori… my disciple is keeping them alive, but it is hard to say how long she can keep this up… whereas all the other Anbu are dead…”

'No wonder Suna unit could not come to Amegakure… fighting against four Kumo Shinobi as well as Sasori, and Kakuzu as well as some unknown Akatsuki member… this is messed up… A Kage has died in the raid… this is no joke… the impact of this news is going to be too much!' – Jiraiya thought.

Pakura continued, “In total, only me, my disciple Maki, are alive and conscious and not so injured, while one shinobi is unfit to continue shinobi life… Chiyo-baasama and Ebizo-Jiisama are alive but in critical condition, Baki is unconscious but he will recover soon enough, Kazekage-sama is 'missing' or most likely dead… And based on your expressions I would say that nothing went good on your side?”

Jiraiya nodded sadly.

Pakura sighed and said, “This raid was a complete loss for the tri-Alliance!”

With a sigh, he instructed Hyuga Kuroto and Might Guy, “Help her clear the battlefield… then we will move to the temporary camp and pass on the news of events here to Sensei and Raikage-dono.”

Kuroto and Guy nodded as per Jiraiya's instructions and helped Maki.

After the battle site was cleaned, all the corpses were sealed inside the storage scroll… everyone moved to the temporary base camp.
