Chapter 76
"Red Hot Habanero!"
The tea in the Rock Jōnin's hand slipped and shattered against the ground upon hearing those four words.
"Kuroya, Oishi, fall back! We need to regroup with Lord Kitsuchi's main force!"
Akuto's face was stricken with horror.
"Hmph, Akuto, you're cowering over some red-haired kunoichi? Have some dignity as a Rock Shinobi."
Kuroya sneered, crossing his arms. "Take a good look. We're positioned on higher ground with a fortified defense. Konoha's forces are at a disadvantage. We'll bring back her head and settle the score for you."
Oishi nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
Akuto's reluctance to fight disgusted them. Their forces were strong. Their leader, Kitsuchi, was already engaged in battle against the Cloud Shinobi. Retreating now would be a disgrace to Iwagakure.
No. This battle would be fought.
"Men, bring me the head of the Red Hot Habanero!"
"Yes, sir!"
