<h4>Chapter 133: 129. Attack on Kiri Part-4</h4>


    Knock... Knock...


    Someone knocks on the door.


    "Come in."


    Elder Genji replies in his frail voice.


    A ninjapletely draped in blue garbs enters the room. He bows in front of Genji, awaiting his orders.


    "You may report." Elder Genji nods to him.


    "Genji-sama, after the Terumi n princess left the vige with her subordinates, a group of shinobis from various other noble ns followed her.


    I am unsure of their intention but I doubt it to be friendly."


    Fuji frowns and turns towards the ninja.


    "Tell me everything in detail." His expression turns gloomy.


    Gulp...


    The ninja gulps his saliva and fills Fuji in detail.


    "Damn! Those High noble ns."


    Fuji quickly walks out of the room and gathers a squad of ninjas and sends them to the borders.


    Sigh...


    Genji sighs to himself as he remembers his past days.


    "Byakuren-sama founded the Kirigakure. I got the fortune to be one of his aides and stand alongside him. Byakuren-sama worked tirelessly to establish the vige as one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations."


    Sigh...


    "Since then, Kiri has continued to degrade, and it has reached this state of infamy as the ''Bloody Mist''. Sigh...


    If only Third Mizukage-sama was still alive, then he would have sorted out this situation."


    Genji continues to contemte the future of Kirigakure.


    Cough... Cough...


    Fuji coughs slightly to get Genji''s attention. His emotions have calmed down a little.


    "Elder Genji, what are your thoughts on this move by the Noble ns? I can see they want to weaken our power and influence in the vige.


    But if they do so and create unrest in the vige, then Kirigakure will be open to other viges. Kirigakure will be engulfed in the mes of the war."


    Fuji ponders over the intention of the Noble ns.


    "Those power-hungry people are only seeking their benefit. The citizens of the vige worship them because they are the descendants of the First Mizukage.


    I can''t see the legacy of First Mizukage-sama degrading in their hands. It was the part of the reason I joined your faction."


    Genji calmly exins to Fuji.


    "As for your daughter, don''t worry about her. I will summon one of my most trusted and skilled ninja and make him her bodyguard."


    Fuji skeptically looks at Elder Genji.


    Elder Genji makes some hand signs and taps his staff on the ground. A strange sealing form appears on the ground. The eyes on the staff lit up.


    Shortlyter, a middle-aged man enters the room.


    "You summoned me, Genji-sama." The neer bowed to him.


    The neer has blue hair styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye is blue and the right-eye is covered with a ck eye-patch. He worerge Talismans with the word ''To Hear'' in kanji on both of his ears.


    The rest of his outfit includes a standard striped grey suit with a green haori that had white trimmings till halfway down. He wears the standard shinobi sandal with a Kiri forehead protector tied on his forehead.


    "You came right on time, Ao. I have a mission for you. But first, let me introduce you to the Terumi n leader." Elder Genji introduces Ao.


    "He is Ao. One of the orphans I picked up during the Second Shinobi War. His skills speak for themselves.


    During the Third Shinobi War, he defeated the main branch Hyuga n member of Konoha and stole his Byakugan as a spoil of war.


    Later, I imnted this eye in his right eye-socket."


    Elder Genji points at the eye-patch. Ao removes the eye patch to show his byakugan.


    "What if Konoha tried to retrieve the Byakugan? Many powerful shinobis in Konoha are capable enough to overpower Ao and steal his Byakugan." Fuji points out.


    "Haha... you don''t have to worry about that."


    Elder Genji chuckles and points at the Talisman on Ao''s ears.


    "You can see thoserge talismans hung around his ear."


    "Yes, what''s so special about them? I can see some sealing forms on them. Though I am not a sealing expert, but I have never seen such strange seals before." Fuji curiously looks at the seals.


    "Those seals aren''t the ordinary sealing seals. They are special talisman seals created by me. Even the most famed Uzumaki n known for their Fuinjutsu capabilities won''t be able to decipher these seals." Elder Genji proudly stares at the seals.


    "These seals are my masterpiece, and I am very proud of them." Elder Genji chuckles.


    "Now, as for their abilities. When Ao''s Byakugan is under any kind of threat, the seals will cover his right eye and destroy the Byakugan.


    No one... no one beside me is capable of removing these seals." Elder Genji strokes the pommel of his staff. The eyes on the staff lit up.


    "So, that''s how it is." Fuji nods his head.


    "I am always surprised by your capabilities, Elder Genji." He praises Elder Genji.


    "Enough chit-chat... Ao quickly departs for the Kiri borders. Your sole task is to protect the Lady Mei of the Terumi n. She will be the future leader of the Terumi n and would y an important role in the future." Elder Genji orders Ao.


    "Yes, Genji-sama." Ao bows his head and flickers out of the room.


    ---------------------


    At Kiri borders,


    Huff... Huff...


    Mei is breathing heavily as she confronts the Kaguya n leader. Most of her subordinates and teammates are either dead or are not in a condition to continue the fight.


    ''I severely underestimated their abilities. Their Bone Maniption ability is very hard to fight against.''


    Swish... Swish...


    Mei jumps back and avoids various bone bulletsunched at her.


    Huff... Huff...


    ''I can''t get hit by those. These bones can easily prate my defenses and decalcify my bones.''


    Mei warily stares at the Kaguya n leader.


    ''We have whittled down their number, but the loses are unbearable.''


    The Kaguya n members turn to his remaining n members.


    "Are we the only survivors...?"


    He notices around twenty to thirty of his n members standing behind him.


    "We have no choice... make them pay with their blood. Haha..."


    The Kaguya n leaderughs maniacally.


    "Hanh... KILL... KILL... KILL..."


    Kaguya n members raise their hands and shout in excitement.


    "We will have them entertain us as long as possible! Hanh!..."


    Another round of ughter starts as Kaguya n members go into a frenzy.


    KILL... KILL... KILL...


    Huff... Huff...


    Kimimaro weakly stares at the back of his n members.


    ''Is this my worth? I am a weapon meant to be used on the battlefield to ughter my enemies...


    Is this how my life wille to an end?... if so, then I won''t go down without a fight.''


    Haah...


    Kimimaro yells and dashes towards the Kiri ninjas.


    sh... sh... sh...


    He continues to attack one Kiri ninja after another.


    "Look out for that kid. That kid has killed many of ourrades, we can''t allow him to rampage on the battlefield. Surround him and kill him."


    A small group of Kiri shinobis surrounds Kimimaro.


    Kimimaro emotionlessly looks at the group of Kiri shinobis.


    ''Dance of the Willow''


    Various long hardened bones sprout out from his entire body.


    ''Carmi Dance of Death''


    Kimimaro sways his body like the branch of a willow and easily parries and evades the attack of the Kiri shinobis. He counters their attacks with bones sprouting from his palms.


    One of the Kiri shinobis tries to sneak attack him from his blind spot.


    ''Got you!'' The Kiri shinobi smirks in delight.


    ''You have killed my friend. Now join him in the afterlife.''


    Stab... Puchi...


    The Kiri shinobis throw out a mouthful of blood. He looks at Kimimaro with wide eyes.


    A long hardened bone is protruding from Kimimaro''s neck. The bone punctures Kiri shinobis heart instantly killing him.


    Plop...


    His body falls lifelessly on the ground.


    Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...


    The rest of the Kiri shinobis jumps back to avoid the attacks.


    "This kid is even more dangerous than the rest of the Kaguya n members. Quickly deal with him."


    sh... sh... sh...


    The fight continues as more and more people fall in the battle.


    ''Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique''


    Mei makes some hand signs and spews outva from her mouth.


    Sizzle... Sizzle...


    Theva melts the bones shielding the Kaguya n leader.


    Huff... Huff...


    ''I am running out of chakra. They already outnumber us, and with their tenacity, it is getting even harder to get rid of them.


    I don''t want to disappoint father and shoulder some of his burdens.''


    Mei resolutely looks at the Kaguya n leader.


    Gulp...


    She swallows a chakra pill and takes out a kunai from her holster.


    ''I have no choice but to fight in close range until my chakra recovers.''
