The Kirigakure troops withdrew in dejection.
After a lot of trouble, Mikazuki Island was left with bodies on the ground, as well as the residents of the island who had lingering fears.
This time, Kirigakure failed to steal the chicken, but also lost a lot of rice.
Momochi Zabuza, who had a vicious reputation as a “ghost man”, was defeated by Uchiha Tetsubi and was killed on the spot by the latter.
Hozuki Mangetsu, although he was lucky enough to save his life from Chisuko Uchiha, he was also seriously injured. As a result, he couldn’t hold on on the way back and died on the ship.
Two Kirigakure geniuses died young like this.
To make matters worse, Kirigakure’s six-tailed jinchuriki, Utakata, was captured by the Uchiha clan.
It can be said to be a heavy loss.
This news was first sent back to the headquarters of the ninja alliance.
It immediately caused quite a commotion.
The goal of the Uchiha clan is indeed to collect tailed beasts!
What is shocking is that the two Uchiha Mangekyō who captured the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki this time are both new and unfamiliar faces.
It seems.
Even if Dan and Shisui are lost, Uchiha cannot be underestimated. This clan can always “surprise” people.
The Fifth Hokage Danzo also learned of this.
He already knew the information about the Mangekyo of Tetsubi, but the sudden appearance of Chisuko really surprised him.
At the same time, he also felt deeply uneasy.
Danzo could increasingly understand why the second Hokage was so afraid of the Uchiha clan.
The potential of this clan is really terrifying.
Danzo also became more determined to destroy the Uchiha clan, otherwise he would not even be able to sleep peacefully.
That day.
In response to this incident, the Five Kage held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Although the Ninja Alliance has an absolute advantage over the Uchiha clan, if they take it lightly and are attacked several more times by the Uchiha and capture more Jinchuuriki.
Then the situation is dangerous.
After all, Uchiha’s Mangekyou Sharingan can control tailed beasts, and the combat power of a tailed beast is worth thousands of troops.
Realizing this, the other four Kage, like Danzo, became more urgent in getting rid of the Uchiha clan.
When the Five Kage Conference was being held.
Kakashi and Tenzo came to this seaside town quietly and used the art of disguise to sneak into the residents of the town.
In a building.
Kakashi wore a pair of sunglasses to cover his eyes, and his conspicuous white hair was dyed black.
In addition, he also took off the black mask he had worn for many years, finally exposing his nose and mouth.
Over the years.
No one has ever seen the lower half of Kakashi’s face, so he looks very strange when he takes off his mask. Even if Kakashi’s best friend Might Guy comes, he may not be able to recognize him.
Of course, Guy is still imprisoned in Konoha’s prison because he offended Danzo.
Kakashi and the two also heard the news.
“I didn’t expect Tetsubi and Chsuko to take action so quickly, and even captured the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki. As expected of an Uchiha, they were really resolute.”
Kakashi couldn’t help but sigh.
At this time, Tobi has already possessed his body, otherwise with its eye-catching appearance and frivolous character, the three of them might have been exposed long ago.
“Senior, we can’t lag behind. It would be too shameful to go back empty-handed.”
Tenzo agreed, looking through the window at the coalition camp in the distance with an eager expression on his face.
Kakashi understood Tenzo’s mood, but he still calmed down and told the latter:
“Don’t be anxious, stay patient. Let’s find out how to find out the situation here first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi took off his sunglasses and stared.
Byakugan, open!
A large number of veins suddenly appeared next to his right eye, and the chakra of the enemy ninja within one kilometer was exposed to his Byakugan.
There are bright posts and hidden sentries, densely packed.
Possibly due to Tetsubi and Chisuko, the five great ninja villages were worried that their base camp would be attacked by Uchiha, so they increased their vigilance. It seemed that it would be difficult to sneak into them.
At this time.
A crisp knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door.
Trouble is coming.
Kakashi and Tenzo looked at each other, then put on their sunglasses and asked Tenzo to open the door.
At the door, two Konoha ninjas appeared, looking familiar.
Tenzo thought about it for a moment and recognized the two people as Izumo Kamizuki and Hagane Kotetsu who were guarding the gate in Konoha.
“Excuse me, what’s the matter?” Tenzo asked.
Hearing this, Kotetsu frowned and stared at Tenzo, asking:
“You don’t look like people from this town. Who are you, what do you do, and where do you come from?”
Faced with Kotetsu’s three consecutive questions, Tenzo looked back at Kakashi.
Under the vigilant gazes of the two Konoha people.
Kakashi also came over and stood side by side with Tenzo, looking at Izumo and Kotetsu without saying a word.
“answer my question!”
Kotetsu said sternly, frowning, and placed his hand on the ninja sword at his waist.
“Do it.”
Two words suddenly popped out of Kakashi’s mouth.
Not good.
The expressions of the Konoha duo suddenly changed and they quickly drew out their weapons, but the opponent’s movements were one step faster than them.
A pair of scarlet three-magatama appeared in Tenzo’s eyes, and he instantly released his pupil power and controlled Kotetsu.
Kamizuki Izumo was affected by Kakashi’s Sharingan illusion.
“Let them get some sleep.”
Kakashi gave instructions to Tenzo, but did not kill the Konoha duo. After all, these two guys couldn’t help themselves.
A few minutes later.
The two used transformation techniques to disguise themselves as Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu, and walked out of the building expressionlessly.
Using their borrowed identities, they successfully sneaked into the camp of the ninja alliance.
“Senior, look.”
Tenzo whispered, winking at Kakashi.
Kakashi followed Tenzo’s gaze and saw the fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, walking out of the conference room with a gloomy look on his face.
“Go over and have a look.”
The two pretended to be on patrol and leaned over quietly.
Outside the conference room, Terumi Mei had been waiting for a long time.
“Mizukage-sama, how is the situation?”
She stepped forward and asked, but judging from Mizukage’s expression, it didn’t seem to be going well.
Sure enough.
“I hoped that the Four Kage could send someone to help, hunt down the two Uchiha ninjas with Kirigakure, and bring back the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki, but they refused. Those guys are all watching our Kirigakure jokes.”
Yagura gritted his teeth, obviously feeling deflated inside and full of anger.
Hearing this, Terumi Mei sighed in her heart and suggested:
“Otherwise, let’s wait until Ao and Yuri come back. Then we can reorganize our manpower and rely on our own strength to get Utakata back.”
Yagura shook his head, put away his anger, and showed remorse:
“In the past few years, the Blood Mist I created has almost exhausted Kirigakure’s talents.
Including the decision to send troops to occupy Mikazuki Island this time, it was also my decision, which resulted in the death of Zabuza and Mangetsu, and even the jinchūriki were kidnapped.
If something unexpected happens next, Kirigakure will really be left alone.
so……”
Having said this, Yagura paused for a moment and showed determination: “I have decided that I will hunt down Uchiha by myself and recapture the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki.”
“No, this is too risky. Mizukage-sama, you can’t do this!”
Terumi Mei frowned and strongly opposed it on the spot, thinking Yagura’s decision was too impulsive and ridiculous.
“Listen to me. Even if you go with me, you may not be able to help. Instead, you may become a burden to me. After all, the other party is Uchiha’s powerful kaleidoscope. And… I don’t have much time left.”
Yagura calmly told Mei Terumi the bad news.
What?
Terumi Mei was shocked, came to her senses, and quickly asked the whole story.
Although Yagura is old enough to be a grandfather, he has a baby face and always looks young and has a strong body.
Why did he say he didn’t have much time left?
In response, Yagura sighed and speculated:
“Maybe it’s the sequelae left behind after being manipulated by Uchiha Obito’s genjutsu. I feel that my life force is rapidly passing away, and I can hardly suppress the three-tailed Isobu in my body. It may go berserk at any time.”
Terumi Mei was stunned.
It seems that being manipulated by Obito using a kaleidoscope for so many years has caused irreparable damage to Mizukage-sama’s body and mind.
“So, I want to do one last thing for Kirigakure while I can still fight – to take back the six tailed! At the same time, I also want to use my last strength to avenge the Uchiha clan before I die.”
Yagura said these words with burning eyes.
“I see.”
Terumi Mei nodded solemnly and stopped blocking him, because she knew that Master Mizukage had already made up his mind.
Afterwards, Yagura solemnly warned Mei:
“If I’m lucky, I may be able to come back smoothly. But if I can’t come back, you will succeed the Mizukage and continue to lead Kirigakure Village.”
With that said, he took off the blue Mizukage hat and handed it to Terumi Mei.
“Don’t worry.”
Terumi Mei did not refuse, with the same solemn look on her face, she took the Mizukage hat from Yagura’s hand and accepted this heavy burden.
That day.
Yagura left the coalition camp alone and entered the vast sea.
The movements of the Fourth Mizukage were all seen by Kakashi and Tenzo.
“Our opportunity has come.” Kakashi’s eyes flashed.
When Tenzo heard this, he asked in surprise: “Senior, you mean… you want to take down the Fourth Mizukage?”
“Tetsubi and the others have captured a Jinchuuriki, we can’t fall behind.
Yagura is not only the Mizukage, but also the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki. If he can be taken down in one fell swoop, it will definitely further damage the enemy’s morale. “
Kakashi analyzed it and was determined to win the next action.
Since being possessed by Tobi, Kakashi’s abilities have been greatly improved, allowing him to enter the Kage level and giving Kakashi enough confidence.
So.
The two also quietly left the seaside town, using Byakugan’s tracking ability to follow Yagura.
Terumi Mei returned to the room.
She closed the door, her eyes changed instantly, and the Sharingan pattern appeared in her eyes.
Half an hour later.
Terumi Mei came to the woods outside the camp with a prepared letter. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, she raised her hands to form a seal and cast a justu.
As a hoarse voice came from above the head, a crow flapped its wings, landed on Terumi Mei’s arm, and opened its mouth.
Terumi Mei stuffed the letter into the crow’s mouth and watched it fly away.
She, the future Fifth Generation Mizukage, has long been Dan’s chess piece.
As the second-in-command of Kirigakure Village, Terumi Mei, a high-ranking mole, can easily contact the top leaders of the coalition forces and obtain important information.
and report to the supervisor at any time.
In this way, Dan can easily grasp the movements of the ninja alliance.
This war between the five major ninja villages and the Uchiha clan.
It has not officially started yet, but in terms of intelligence warfare, the Uchiha clan has clearly taken the initiative.
……
On the endless sea, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful.
Looking down from mid-air, a white line cuts through the calm sea surface, causing waves to rise.
It’s Karatachi Yagura.
At this time, a big tail covered with gray spines grew out of his back, swinging back and forth in the water, making Yagura faster than a shark.
This is the ability of Isobu.
Isobu is a big turtle who is best at fighting in the water. Therefore, Yagura, as a jinchuriki, is also full of confidence in himself.
In this sea, he is almost invincible.
In order to prevent the Uchiha clan from targeting their own tailed beasts, Kirigakure had already taken precautions and left a special chakra mark on the six-tailed Jinchuriki Utakata in advance.
At this moment, Yagura is using his perception of the mark to track Utakata’s chakra.
A certain moment.
Not far ahead, a small uninhabited island appeared.
Logically speaking, such uninhabited islands are very common at sea, but Yagura frowned and let out a light sigh.
Because he found out.
Unlike other uninhabited islands, the island in front has a lush forest, and… it seems to be emitting weak chakra fluctuations.
There is something weird.
Yagura thought for a while, approached the island, and went ashore to find out.
He remained vigilant and carefully walked into the woods, looking for the source of the chakra fluctuations.
Click.
Yagura stepped on a stick.
He lowered his head and saw, whether it was an illusion or not, that the stick shrank back a bit, as if it hurt when he stepped on it.
Something’s wrong!
Yagura suddenly discovered that there were no fallen leaves or dead branches on the ground. In other words, this forest… appeared here out of thin air.
The source of the chakra he sensed was the entire forest.
At this time.
The forest bloomed.
Yagura’s conjecture was verified. The entire forest came to life, with countless trees and vines dancing wildly, like monsters with teeth and claws.
They were attacking him from all directions.
He was ambushed.
The Fourth Mizukage did not panic. Instead, he waved the iron rod in his hand and swung his tail wildly, smashing the trees that rushed towards him one by one.
However, what surprised him was.
After those trees broke, they quickly grew back, growing more and more.
In an instant, Yagura couldn’t resist anymore.
Damn it, it’s the Wood Release Ninjutsu.
He finally realized that the person who attacked him was using the first Hokage’s secret wood escape technique.
Not only that, while Yagura was busy dealing with the woods, the ground beneath his feet softened into a swamp without even realizing it.
By the time he reacted, most of his body had sunk into the soil.
The double restraints of Wood Release and Swamp made him unable to move.
At last.
A vine-like sapling wrapped around Yagura’s body and grew into a big tree in just a few seconds, pinning him underneath and completely submerging him.
Wood Escape·Tree-bound Permanent Prison.
“Is it working?”
Tenzo appeared in the woods and looked at Yagura who was pinned down by a big tree.
After discussing with Kakashi, he set a trap here in advance and used wood escape to create a forest to lure Yagura into taking the bait.
The other party really fell into the trap.
However, it turns out that the dignified Mizukage and Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki are not so easily defeated.
Boom.
With a violent burst of chakra, a red figure knocked down the tree and escaped.
Yagura was on all fours, with three tails growing out of his back, covered with a red tailed beast coat, and emitting terrifying chakra fluctuations.
Transformed into a half-tailed beast, his sharp eyes locked on Tenzo instantly, releasing strong murderous intent.
Tenzo was startled and stepped back. His figure merged into a big tree and disappeared.
The next second.
Click.
Yagura had already rushed over, knocking down dozens of big trees along the way, rushed out of the woods in one breath, and headed straight for the sea.
But as he just escaped from the woods.
Zizzizi!
A burst of dazzling thunder struck him head-on, and the strong electric current made a harsh sound like the chirping of a thousand birds. The sound was astonishing.
Raikiri.
The person who used this move was a man with white hair, a scarlet three-magatama Sharingan, a stern face, and sharp eyes.
Hatake Kakashi.
A flash.
Even Yagura, who transformed into a half-tailed beast, couldn’t help but feel timid.
He tried his best to dodge, but still couldn’t completely avoid it, and Raikiri cut off two tails on the spot.
Subsequently, Yagura lost his balance and fell forward under the influence of inertia, sliding with his face close to the ground for dozens of meters, leaving a long trace on the beach.
“Senior.”
Tenzo rushed out of the woods and joined Kakashi.
The two of them looked towards Yagura together.
Yagura got up from the ground, and his broken tail quickly grew back. Even though he has turned into a half-tailed beast, he still maintains a considerable degree of sanity.
He squinted his eyes, looked at the Sharingan in the eyes of the two people opposite him, and said in surprise:
“Kakashi, and Tenzo, I heard that you were on Konoha’s Golden Wanted Notice as traitorous ninjas. It seems that you defected to the Uchiha clan and became Uchiha’s dogs.”
Faced with Yagura’s verbal humiliation, Kakashi remained unmoved and just said lightly:
“Please come with us.”
Hearing this, Yagura couldn’t help but sneer and said disdainfully:
“Just the two of you? One is a fake Uchiha who transplanted the Sharingan, and the other is also a poor imitation of the first Hokage. Two fakes, how dare you speak so brazenly here.”
In Yagura’s view, only the genuine Uchiha Mangekyo masters are worthy of his serious treatment.
He didn’t take these two fakes seriously at all.
The words just fell.
Whoosh.
Yagura rushed towards the two of them and took the initiative to attack.
Seeing Yagura approaching fiercely, Kakashi’s eyes narrowed and he ordered Tenzo: “You stay away first, and I will deal with him.”
After saying that, he kicked off the ground and walked towards Yagura.
Bang bang bang!
The two sides engaged in a physical contest.
This guy… doesn’t seem to be an easy target.
Yagura soon discovered that he had misjudged Kakashi’s combat power. The opponent’s strength and speed were evenly matched with his, without falling behind at all.
What surprised him the most was that his tailed beast coat failed to burn Kakashi.
That’s because Kakashi also has a coat to protect him – Tobi.
With Tobi’s boost, Kakashi’s taijutsu became powerful enough to fight Yagura head-on in the form of a half-tailed beast.
Coral Palm!
Suddenly, Yagura caught a flaw in Kakashi’s body, circled behind the latter like lightning, and struck out with a palm.
The person hit by this move will have a large amount of coral grow on the surface of his body in an instant, his movements will be restricted, and he will be at the mercy of Yagura.
However, he didn’t expect it.
That flaw was deliberately sold to him by Kakashi.
Kakashi not only transplanted the Sharingan, but also the Byakugan. His right eye has a 360° viewing angle and has already seen through all Yagura’s movements.
Bykugan, open!
He saw veins popping up next to Kakashi’s eyes. When he opened his Byakugan, he dodged to the side without looking back, as if there were eyes behind his back, and just avoided Yagura’s coral palm.
Then he twisted his body and struck with a backhand. The palm of his hand was wrapped with dazzling lightning. Taking advantage of Yagura’s unpreparedness——
Severely
It penetrated the latter’s right chest.
Zizzizi.
The strong lightning escape current paralyzed Yagura’s whole body. Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also unable to move.
At this time.
Swish. Swish.
Wood emerged from the ground and wrapped around Yagura’s body, further restricting his movement.
It’s Tenzo’s Wood Escape Binding Technique.
“Roar!”
Yagura was furious. Before he completely lost consciousness, he roared and decided to release the monster in his body.
His size expanded again, and a large number of thorns sprouted from his body. He broke free from the restraints of the Wood Release on the spot and forced Kakashi back.
Completely transformed into a tailed beast.
This is a secret that only a perfect Jinchuuriki can use. By completely transforming into the form of a tailed beast, the power of the tailed beast can be maximized.
But.
Kakashi and Tenzo were already prepared.
“Do it!”
Kakashi shouted sharply, and with the help of Tobi’s chakra, the Sharingan released a strong pupil impact, using genjutsu to interfere with Yagura and delay it.
The real trump card comes from Tenzo.
Whoosh.
He rushed over, quickly formed a seal, held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, spread the five fingers of his right hand, and a black word “seat” appeared on the palm of his hand.
Then.
There was a snap.
Tenzo’s palm was aimed at Yagura’s forehead, and he pressed it with lightning speed.
Buzz.
His palm suddenly glowed with black light, and a huge amount of Wood Release Chakra entered Yagura’s body along his palm.
Boom.
In an instant, dozens of huge wooden pillars appeared on the surrounding ground, forming a cage that enveloped Yagura.
His tailed beast transformation was immediately forced to stop, and the three tails behind him also hung down. The tailed beast coat quickly disappeared and he returned to his human form.
Finally passed out.
Success.
Tenzo dropped his hands.
It is the secret wood escape technique used by the first Hokage. It has a strong hypnotic effect and can put the rampaging Nine-Tails into a deep sleep with one move.
Although Tenzo does not have the power of the first generation Hokage, he still has no problem dealing with a mere three-tailed creature.
“Fortunately, he didn’t turn into a completely tailed beast, otherwise we would have been in big trouble.”
Kakashi and Tenzo looked at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Overall, this battle went relatively smoothly.
Under the possession of Tobi, Kakashi’s strength reached Kage level, and he restrained Yagura from the front.
Tenzo’s Wood Release, like Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan, has a great restraining effect on the jinchūriki. After he seized the opportunity, he struck quickly and accurately, successfully capturing Yagura.
“Let’s go.”
Kakashi ordered Tenzo to use wooden escape to tie up the unconscious Yagura.
The two left quickly.
