Chapter 701: Chapter 695 : WEAK
Ay's arm hit the desk, obliterating it to smithereens! However, at that very instant, the eyes of all Kumogakure ninjas present widened. They instinctively raised their guard and grabbed their weapons. The reason for their reaction was that the desk that had blown up suddenly released some fluids. In addition, Nanako suddenly sensed some additional seals!
Ay, who had one of the best reaction speeds of all ninjas, was caught off guard. To make matters worse, his speed was far lesser without the Lightning Chakra Mode active. Due to how close he was, his right arm was covered by that fluid. In addition, his clothes, the parts of his chest and even some parts of his face and neck were sprayed with that liquid!
"Brother!"
"Raikage-sama!"
Instinctively, Ay activated his Lightning Chakra Mode as others called out worriedly. Nanako cursed, 'Shit! How did I not see those seals? If that liquid is poisonous, then we would be doomed!'
Nanako recalled how horrifyingly strong their opponent was. However, what horrified her even more was his bag of tricks! If the Raikage was subdued and Akuro managed to neutralize Bee in a similar way, Kumogakure would be doomed. The same thoughts ran through the minds of the four Elite Jounins.
To their relief, Ay showed no signs of pain and said loudly, "Calm down, I'm fine."
He turned his gaze towards the Elite Jounin who had some expertise in medical ninjutsu and said, "Check what this liquid is. Even though I didn't feel any pain, I felt a mild burning sensation initially. It might have some other effects or a delayed reaction."
The Elite Jounin nodded and immediately inspected Ay. Ay's right arm as well as the golden vambrace were dyed pink! Half of his face, nearly his entire neck and his exposed chest were dyed pink as well! The Elite Jounin frowned and was about to check his clothes when Nanako shouted, "Be careful! The seals are behaving weirdly."
Nanako had a grim expression. She could sense that the few foreign seals left inside the building were activating. In addition, the seals on the outside walls were behaving strangely as well. In a grim tone, she muttered, "We may have fallen into a dangerous trap!"
Lightning appeared around Ay's body once again as he said seriously, "Let him come."
The others prepared themselves as well. To their surprise, Akuro didn't appear. The seals didn't trigger any additional attacks on them either. Instead, words started appearing on the wall.
Boring... I'm disappointed. I expected better after fighting those kids. Seeing your desperation, I shall spare this village for the time being. I will visit again in the future. If your Raikage continues hiding cowardly, then I won't show any mercy.
As they read the message, every single one had a dark expression. Ay's expression was a sight to see. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Under normal circumstances, several things, perhaps even the walls, would have been smashed. Unfortunately, Ay couldn't even do that in case something else sprayed on his body!
Outside the building, the two thousand ninjas had a shocked expression as well. The seals covering the building had disappeared. Instead, a few large and bold letters carved into the building appeared.
Bee suddenly asked seriously, "Didn't Darui say that he claimed to be from an ancient era and didn't have an idea about how strong you were? How did he know that you'd smash the desk?"
Ay was puzzled as well. Before he could think of anything, Nanako answered, "The trigger might not have been the breaking of the desk. I assume that he wanted to show this message to Raikage-sama. So the trigger could have been simply touching the desk. In addition..."
Her expression became grim as she continued, "Inazuma had ordered to check whether everyone had escaped from the building. We found out that 5 didn't make it. Four were the dead Anbu we found. However, the last one is still missing. And that person is Kiyoshi.
So many seals can't appear suddenly. In addition, keeping them hidden from not just me but also the other Grandmasters is incredibly difficult even considering Akuro's expertise. As difficult as this is to believe, I suspect that Kiyoshi helped him by secretly placing these seals after our last inspection. He could've given Akuro some information about you."
"Kiyoshi..." Ay muttered, having a tough time believing that he was a traitor. One of the Elite Jounins said, "I would've never imagined old man Kiyoshi to be a traitor. He was so cheerful and always helped everyone."
Nanako nodded. She couldn't believe it either. Suddenly, the one who was examining Ay called out, "Raikage-sama, I've examined this liquid..."
He had a weird expression on his face as he spoke, making everyone curious. Ay asked, "What is it?"
Ay's expression became increasingly dark as the Elite Jounin replied strangely, "I still need to do more studies to confirm, but everything I have seen so far makes me believe that it is nothing but a conductive pigment. However, it is a very strong one and bonds very quickly with our skin. Your lightning amplified it even further. I'm afraid that the stains it left behind will be very difficult to remove..."
