Chapter 70
As soon as Hashirama removed the thick mist that had enveloped both the Konoha and Kirigakure vanguard units, it was like two opposite poles of a magnet colliding violently.
A brutal clash followed, resembling a vortex that pulled in every Konoha and Kirigakure unit around!
Clang! Weapons clashed.
Fushark grinned, locking eyes with Hayama Shirakumo. Compared to the rookies they had faced earlier, the main Konoha forces were a hundred times stronger!
"Too bad you're late. We already killed all your comrades, hehehe," Fushark taunted Hayama Shirakumo.
"Hmm?" Hayama's brow furrowed. With a flick of his sword, he sent Fushark flying. "What comrades?" he asked coldly.
Fushark raised an eyebrow, then grinned toothily, revealing his shark-like teeth. "What a cold-hearted man…"
"Hmph, playing tricks!" Hayama Shirakumo scoffed, growing angry. He suspected that some of the Konoha scouts had been captured and interrogated by these Kirigakure ninjas before they could signal for help.
The notion of being "late" likely meant these Kirigakure ninjas had already extracted the information they wanted from the captured Konoha ninjas.
