Seeing Kisa still silently battling on the side, holding back a portion of the heavenly thunder, Fuguki felt a little less frustrated.
Indeed, only Kisa is a subordinate truly worthy of his trust. It's not in vain that he valued him so much in the past, teaching him various combat techniques and Ninja Techniques.
However, continuing like this is not a solution; the rain clouds in the sky are becoming increasingly intense, showing no signs of dissipating.
I'm afraid before the rain clouds dissipate, he and Kisa will have already been exhausted.
"Don't think about Hidden Cloud, or your other subordinates. They can't even take care of themselves; how could they have ti to bother with you, you fat pig? In the end, they may not be that loyal to you."
Ringo Ayuri laughed mockingly, using words to disturb Fuguki's mind.
Sure enough, because of Ringo Ayuri's words, Fuguki showed a flaw, and the lightning struck swiftly.
Fuguki hurriedly raised Shark Skin to shield himself from the attack of the heavenly thunder.
The bandages on the Shark Skin Great Blade were already damaged, revealing the deep blue, thorny blade, with a mouth resembling a certain fish, sharp teeth bared in pain due to the heavenly thunder's attack, emitting continuous dissatisfied grunts.
Apparently, Fuguki's repeated mishandling left it extrely displeased, but due to Fuguki being the Sword Master, it chose not to unleash its fury.
"Are you bastards really trying to make furious?"
Fuguki's face contorted, becoming as fearso as an Evil Demon, his murderous aura boiling.
"If that's the case, it would be our utmost honor."
Ringo Ayuri continued to provoke Fuguki, then picked up two Thunder Blades, slashing towards Fuguki from above with a basic stance.
Fuguki knew that heavenly thunder could not be absorbed by Shark Skin, so he didn't dare to make contact easily.
There is a fundantal difference between heavenly thunder and Chakra-generated lightning.
"Cut!"
Dodging Ringo Ayuri's attack, Fuguki realized he couldn't hope for assistance from Hidden Cloud.
Even though he didn't know what Yagura had done, it was a fact that Hidden Cloud's reinforcents wouldn't arrive.
His subordinates were also entangled and could not assist him.
And with Ringo Ayuri using the rain clouds to guide heavenly thunder, his combat stance was disadvantaged, and defeat was only a matter of ti.
At this mont, a slightly disheveled figure landed beside Fuguki.
"Lord Fuguki, we should retreat quickly; continuing this fight is aningless."
The one suggesting was Kisa.
Kisa's thought aligned with Fuguki's current intentions, but giving up the power he painstakingly built left his heart unwilling.
"We should retreat first, wait for the results between Yagura and the Third Lord's battle. If the Third Lord wins, Yagura and his n will be no threat by then."
Hearing Kisa's words, Fuguki was quite moved.
It seems he can only abandon this side. Fuguki sighed internally; Kisa was right, staying here is aningless.
As long as he doesn't die, there's a chance to rise again.
If he dies here, even if the Third Mizukage wins, the position of Fourth Mizukage will not be his.
But retreating... Fuguki felt troubled.
Judging by Ringo Ayuri's attitude, there's no way he would let him leave.
Honestly, facing Ringo Ayuri with the divine assistance of heavenly thunder, Fuguki still felt uneasy. Without soone willing to keep him at bay, it would be hard to escape from Ringo Ayuri's grasp.
Fuguki instinctively glanced at Kisa with a aningful look, quickly coming to a decision in his heart.
Distracting Ringo Ayuri ant sacrificing one's life to cover the retreat.
And Kisa was indeed the best candidate.
Trustworthy enough, with the capability, if not for the current dire situation, he wouldn't need to abandon such a useful subordinate.
Even thinking like this, Fuguki felt little guilt towards Kisa. To him, subordinates are to be used for effectiveness at tis like these.
Subordinates are always just subordinates; sacrifice one, and another can always take their place.
At least when he returns in the future, he would avenge Kisa.
"Kisa, you..."
Having made up his mind to let Kisa sacrifice his life to cover the retreat, Fuguki's sentence was cut short.
The blade pierced through his chest, staining the blade red with blood.
Kisa held the hilt, his face expressionless.
He then raised a foot and kicked heavily on Fuguki's chest, sending his body flying backwards, while the Great Sword Shark Skin slipped from his grip, crashing to the ground with a mournful wail.
Fuguki rolled on the ground, coughing and spitting blood, struggling to stand up with fingers trembling, pointing at Kisa: "Kisa, what are you doing?"
Incredulity and confusion filled his eyes, not understanding why Kisa had betrayed him.
"Of course, I ant to kill you. While working with you, your guard only drops when giving orders, I just needed to seize that mont."
Kisa's bizarre shark-like face remained void of expression, looking at the blade in his hand stained with Fuguki's splattered blood, and then raised his head, fixing his cold gaze on his superior.
He thoroughly understood everything about Fuguki, when his guard was strongest, and when it was weakest, Kisa was acutely aware.
So, he had been waiting for this optimal mont to thrust a treacherous blade into his superior, Fuguki.
"Then why... did you betray ?"
