Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Running and Blasting — The Explosive Genius
Although Takuya didn't care much for the Third Mizukage's policies, as a Konoha shinobi, he had just infiltrated the Mist Village and obliterated the Mizukage's office building.
The Third Mizukage was now missing, possibly killed or fled.
Such an incident dealt a humiliating blow to the Mist Village, turning them into a
laughingstock.
First, Hoshigaki Fuguki was killed, and Samehada was taken. The village tried to reclaim the weapon through diplomatic means, only for Konoha to reject the request.
Then Hatake Sakumo's assassination attempt on the Third Mizukage sparked the war.
And now, Takuya had slipped in, destroyed the Mizukage's office building, and left the Third Mizukage's fate uncertain.
It was as if the Mist Village were some open playground where anyone could drop by, cause chaos, and leave as they pleased.
"Yeah, I'm well aware."
Smiling, Takuya shrugged at the Hōzuki clan leader's enraged question, glancing at the ever- growing crowd around him.
"So what? I only blew up the Mizukage's office building. No big deal. Why are you so worked up?"
"You..."
The Hōzuki leader nearly spat blood in fury.
The entire Mizukage's office building was leveled, and Takuya called it "no big deal"? What would he consider a big deal, then?
"Kill him!!!"
"Avenge the Mizukage!!"
With the Third Mizukage missing, and the office building and nearby structures reduced to rubble, the Mist shinobi, assuming their leader was dead, were furious.
Some couldn't even wait for orders and charged at Takuya, determined to kill him. "Heh!"
Takuya smirked, bringing his hands together to form several quick seals.
"Stop him!"
Seeing Takuya's hands touch the rooftop tiles, the Hōzuki leader's eyes widened as he raised his hand and pointed at Takuya.
"Water Release: Water Bullet!"
A bullet-like droplet shot from the Hōzuki leader's fingers, zooming toward Takuya with lightning speed.
But the shot only punched a small hole in the spot where Takuya had stood - he'd already vanished, replaced by a massive shadow.
Boom!!!
The four-story building crumbled under the enormous weight of Manda.
The gigantic serpent raised its house-sized head, hissing and snapping at the shinobi around it, its long tail lashing furiously.
"Ahhh!!"
Screams echoed as shinobi were flung across the area, crashing into nearby buildings and even bringing them down.
"You little brat! You're dead! You will definitely die today!"
The Hōzuki leader felt utterly humiliated - this brat had destroyed the Mizukage's office and, unfazed by the threats from him and the other shinobi, summoned a monstrous beast to wreak havoc.
"Haha! Go wild, Manda! And feel free to enjoy some snacks along the way. I promise you'll have plenty!"
ducked.
Boom!
Unfortunately, while he managed to evade, his team wasn't as lucky or as quick to react.
The Lightning Burst's power couldn't match the Spiral Tailed Beast Bomb, but its piercing force was unparalleled, tearing through anything in its path.
"You little punk! You want to die, don't you?!"
"Haha! Come chase me if you want, then we'll talk!"
"Spiral Tailed Beast Bomb! Go!"
Takuya continued taunting the Hōzuki leader as he launched Spiral Tailed Beast Bombs and
Lightning Bursts at his pursuers.
With an endless reserve of chakra, he didn't fear running out. Plus, both attacks were quick
and easy to deploy.
The Mist shinobi couldn't keep up; they could only watch as Takuya dashed around, unleashing blasts as he went, like a walking explosive expert.
Explosions, screams, and cries of despair blended into a dark symphony that echoed across
the Mist Village.
The village was practically hell on earth, with fires from the blasts raging everywhere. Countless buildings lay in ruins, villagers lay wounded and groaning, and bodies - both
civilians and shinobi - scattered the streets.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
"Arghhhh!!!"
The Hōzuki leader was fuming, seeing red with rage. Takuya wouldn't engage him in a direct
fight; instead, he ran, leaving explosions and devastation in his wake.
What frustrated the Hōzuki leader most was that Takuya was faster than him, dragging him
around the village like a toy on a leash, destroying everything in his path.
Is this kid a monster?
How many of these Lightning Bursts and Tailed Beast Bombs has he thrown?
How can a shinobi create a Tailed Beast Bomb?
He could conjure them faster than a Tailed Beast. They might not be as large, but the blast
power was no less terrifying. This was beyond logic.
It's all over. This village is finished!!!
Looking over the devastated village, the Hōzuki leader's heart sank.
Then, he noticed Takuya had stopped moving. Believing Takuya had finally tired out, he was
overjoyed.
He could finally catch up to this brat.
And when he did, he'd make sure Takuya paid.
