Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Why Choose Death When You Can Live?



Fuguki Suikazan's eyes, as large as saucers, contracted slightly as he instinctively grabbed the Samehada from his back and brought it in front of him.

Boom!

A crackling blue bolt of lightning struck the blade, making the living sword let out a grumbling protest. Its spiked scales sizzled, turning black in patches.

That was close!

Fuguki didn't even have time to worry about Samehada's complaints. Cold sweat dripped down his back as the reality of the situation sank in.

The Mist ninja behind him, who had been just about to launch their attack on the Konoha merchant ship, stood frozen in shock. None of them had expected to be ambushed first.

What was worse was that they hadn't sensed the enemy at all.

In Mist Village, the Silent Killing Technique was a badge of pride. It allowed the Mist ninja to become invisible in the fog, masking their presence while distorting their enemies' senses. Even the best sensor ninjas could fall prey to it.

But today, the Silent Killing Technique had completely failed.

The enemy had slipped through their fog without a sound. If that attack had targeted anyone other than Fuguki, there would have been corpses littering the deck already.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Is that... a weird type of lightning jutsu? Could it be Cloud Village ninja?

Fuguki let Samehada soak up his chakra for repairs, all the while keeping his bulging eyes glued to the foggy sea.

A second flash of blue lightning split the dense mist, and a shadowy figure began to approach the ship.

"Tch, Ninja Art: Needle Senbon Barrage!"

Still shaken from the initial attack, Fuguki quickly formed hand seals, hoping to force the intruder out of hiding.

He wanted to see exactly who had the audacity to attack them.

His bright orange hair spiked up like a porcupine, each strand turning as hard as steel wire before launching out like a rain of needles.

"Oh?" Takuya hummed in mild surprise as the barrage of needles closed in on him from the mist.

The move reminded him of a certain "most handsome" and shameless frog sage.

This technique was just like his-turning your hair into sharp projectiles and launching them in a barrage like some kind of spiky hedgehog. Unfortunately...

It's a bit weak.

Even Minato, who learned the move from Jiraiya, never really used it. In his words, "It's too weak." Plus, there was always the risk of going bald.

Honestly, Takuya wasn't trying to insult anyone in particular, but Fuguki Suikazan? The guy was ugly.

A body shaped like a barrel, a face like a pig, and to top it off, a hairstyle that was oddly feminine-long, orange locks trailing down his back, nearly as long as Samehada. The whole look was just... off.

Some might say Hoshigaki Kisame, the so-called "tailless tailed beast," looked weird, but compared to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Takuya thought Kisame looked positively charming.

"Die!!"

Suddenly, Fuguki roared and lunged forward, swinging Samehada down at Takuya's head. Samehada was a unique weapon, and its fighting style was unlike any other heavy sword. But

still...

Why choose death when you can live?

Minato sighed, sheathing his kunai as he stepped away to inspect the warship, wondering if there were any extra spoils they could grab. As for Fuguki Suikazan... even Minato didn't think

the guy stood a chance against Takuya.

With just a glare, Takuya could end him.

And sure enough, that's exactly what happened. Takuya shot him a deathly look, and Fuguki froze mid-swing, eyes wide with fear.

Even the strongest kage-level opponents couldn't escape the paralysis of Takuya's Mangekyō Sharingan. What hope did a pathetic Fuguki Suikazan have?

Had it been the Third Mizukage standing there, Takuya might've put in a bit more effort. But Fuguki? He wasn't even worth it.

"Too weak to live," Takuya muttered, his Raijin sword piercing through Fuguki's heart in an instant, the faint smell of burning flesh rising as the lightning scorched his wound shut.

Not a single drop of blood spilled.

Takuya calmly unstrapped Samehada from the lifeless body and tossed Fuguki's corpse onto

the deck like discarded trash.
