第245話: 船虫の粘り強さ

245

Buntan and Kyohou are slowly catching up to Hebiichigo. Kagura and the others await their return as well as the arrival of the Funato unit in the ravine, but a Funato scout notices them. Hebiichigo overhears the scout talk about the Funato's ambush plans and ponders on returning to warn Kagura. Funamushi's ambush succeeds, and the rest of his forces move in to overwhelm Kagura's resistance until Hebiichigo, Buntan, and Kyohou return to help. As they engage the main unit, Funamushi decides to defeat Kagura and Boruto personally for injuring Seiren. Kagura's resistance is forced to retreat to the mountain village as Funamushi pursues. In the advantageous terrain, they manage to defeat most of the Funato forces, but Funamushi's large scale attack overwhelms them. Kagura unleashes the full power of Hiramekarei to counter his jutsu, successfully cutting through it, but Funamushi manages to pin him from behind. Using Kagura as a hostage, Funamushi tells everyone to drop their weapons. Once they do, Boruto demands he release Kagura, however Funamushi reveals he had no intention to as he impales Kagura with his Water Style blade.
