Chapter 193: Third Mizukage, Do You Want to Dance Too?
Chapter 193: Third Mizukage, Do You Want to Dance Too?
A figure wearing a hat with the kanji for 'Water' stood before the Konoha forces attempting to break through the encirclement.
Behind this figure, a group of Mist ninjas stood in a tight formation, ready for battle.
The Third Mizukage!
No one had expected him to appear on the battlefield in person.
To the side and slightly behind him stood a young man with green hair and purple eyes, a scar running beneath his left eye. He wielded a staff-like weapon with a hook at one end and adorned with green flowers.
From his position, it was clear he held a rank just below the Third Mizukage, a position of immense power and authority.
These two were both Kage-level powerhouses.
The number of intercepting ninjas wasn't overwhelmingly large, not much more than the Konoha forces trying to break through, numbering less than five hundred.
However, just the presence of two Kage-level ninjas was more than they could handle.
Three-tomoe Sharingan was indeed powerful, but even it couldn't match up to a Kage-level opponent.
The gap between Kage and non-Kage was simply too vast!
Even the Sharingan, a powerful ability, couldn't bridge that gap.
"If you surrender, I can guarantee the Uchiha clan will receive the treatment they deserve!"
The Third Mizukage extended an offer.
The Uchiha clan!
Who wouldn't covet such a powerful clan? If they could be recruited, it would undoubtedly add a powerful Bloodline Limit to their village.
"Hmph!"
Uchiha Ayame scoffed and launched her attack.
A few years ago, when she graduated from the academy, she was already a Special Jonin. Now, she had advanced to Jonin, her Three-tomoe Sharingan making her a top-tier Elite Jonin.
If it weren't for the appearance of exceptional individuals like Dohei, Kakashi, and Yamashiro Koji, she would have been the brightest star among the young geniuses.
Unfortunately, her fame was overshadowed by these few, but her strength was undeniable. She was a true Elite Jonin, proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, with no weaknesses.
"Uchiha Style: Lightning Sword Leap!"
Ayame's ninjato glowed with electricity, enhancing its cutting power to the maximum.
A single strike from her blade could slice through steel as if it were butter.
"Water Style: Water Wall!"
The Third Mizukage calmly performed a water jutsu.
Swish!
Countless water droplets converged, forming a spinning wall of water around him, effectively blocking Ayame's advance.
The Third Mizukage, having earned his position as Kage, was undoubtedly a Kage-level ninja. The water jutsu he used had immense power, making it no surprise that he could fend off an Elite Jonin's attack.
"Move!"
Uchiha Shizuka and Uchiha Shota, positioned on either side, prepared to assist.
But before they could take more than a few steps, the green-haired, purple-eyed young man with a childlike face stepped in to block them.
"Yagura!"
Uchiha Shota growled and initiated his attack.
He didn't say anything about holding the line while others went to support Ayame.
Despite his childlike appearance, Yagura was in his twenties and was a true monster in strength, the first among the Third Mizukage's subordinates.
Facing such a Kage-level opponent, even a combined effort wouldn't be enough, let alone splitting forces to provide support.
Their only option was to fight with everything they had, aiming to either quickly defeat or severely injure the opponent to create an opening for Ayame.
"Interesting!"
Yagura chuckled and swung his coral staff to meet the attack.
Despite his small stature, he wielded a heavy and unusual weapon.
Of course, no one underestimated him. His reputation was forged on the battlefield, where he had dominated both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.
The battle began with both sides fighting for their lives.
The Konoha forces knew that if they were pinned down, the arrival of other Mist forces from different directions would leave them with no chance of escape.
Thus, whether it was the main branch of the Uchiha clan or the other hundreds of civilian ninjas, they all attacked with reckless abandon, willing to sacrifice their lives to carve out a path to freedom.
The six Uchiha Jonin were all tied up by the Third Mizukage and the other Kage-level ninja.
Ninjas fell one by one, their blood staining the ground.
But no one cared about that now.
Ninjas were a profession characterized by high attack, high agility, and low defense. Once they decided to fight to the death, they wouldn't dodge, and the casualties mounted quickly.
Both sides were now fighting with bloodlust.
Many Uchiha were going all out, displaying astonishing combat prowess, with one-on-two battles being the norm.
Unfortunately, they were being held back by the civilian shinobi.
The civilian shinobi left behind were mostly genin, with not a single jonin among them.
If the Uchiha used them as cannon fodder, they might have had a chance to break through the encirclement.
But with the Uchiha's pride, no one would stoop to such a tactic. Instead, they occasionally provided support, which only made it harder for them to break free.
"Truly worthy of the Uchiha!"
Kukuri Yuzura forced back several Uchiha jonin with a single strike, and couldn't help but admire their performance.
At that moment, Uchiha Shizuka's Sharingan with three tomoe spun.
"Genjutsu: Mind Body Switch Technique!"
She unleashed her strongest genjutsu, confident that even Kage-level shinobi would be affected.
With such a powerful ability, she felt invincible.
However, a single genjutsu wasn't enough to solve everything; someone needed to finish the job.
Pierce!
Uchiha Shota's chokuto pierced the heart of the genjutsu-affected Kukuri Yuzura.
In small-scale battles, shuriken and kunai were convenient, but on the battlefield, chokuto and other bladed weapons were more practical for close combat.
However, Uchiha Shota's face was grave.
The sensation was off!
For someone who had killed many times, even the slightest anomaly was noticeable.
But it was too late to pull back now.
Another Kukuri Yuzura suddenly appeared, striking his right arm with a palm. Coral began to grow from the wound.
Coral Palm!
This was one of Kukuri Yuzura's signature abilities.
If hit, the target would grow coral inside their body, a cruel and terrifying secret technique.
Swish!
Uchiha Shota immediately switched his chokuto to his left hand and severed his right arm.
The Kukuri Yuzura he had just pierced turned into a water dissolution.
It wasn't a water clone but a special secret technique.
Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!
This technique could replicate a shinobi, including the jutsu they used, though it couldn't copy secret techniques, Kekkei Genkai, or other advanced abilities. It had many limitations, but when used to replicate oneself, it was nearly indistinguishable, effectively doubling one's combat power and serving as a shield to absorb powerful attacks.
After losing his arm, Uchiha Shota's situation took a turn for the worse.
On the other side, Uchiha Mei was being overwhelmed by the Third Mizukage.
The Third Mizukage didn't use powerful jutsu, just relied on experience and low-rank jutsu to relentlessly beat her down.
Suddenly,
She was thrown off balance by one of his attacks.
"Water Release: Great Water Fist Technique!"
The Third Mizukage formed the hand seal with his right hand, using this B-rank water jutsu.
The technique generated a force strong enough to shatter steel. If it hit, it would surely turn Uchiha Mei into "Mei-chan."
The others were either held back by enemies or had no chance to come to her aid.
At that moment, a voice echoed across the battlefield from the sky.
"Let the flames purify everything!"
Then, an intense heat rapidly spread.
The overwhelming display immediately drew the attention of both sides, causing them to instinctively separate.
A strange red glow appeared in the Third Mizukage's eyes. Instead of stopping, he accelerated his attack, preparing to punch Uchiha Mei to pieces.
Unfortunately, a white light column descended from the sky, forcing him to dodge.
Flame Finger!
After entering Sage Mode, the technique's power and range had improved dramatically.
Tohei had once considered renaming it "Mystic Light Cannon," but decided against it as it didn't fit the shinobi world's style.
One strike to break the siege!
Then, he lunged forward, enveloped in a white flame cloak.
Step!
He positioned himself in front of Uchiha Mei.
"Third Mizukage, are you ready to dance?"
Tohei looked at the Third Mizukage, knowing he was under a genjutsu suggestion. He didn't waste time with words and prepared to attack.
Entering Sage Mode already spoke volumes about his intentions.
There was no way he would use this state just to chat, so it was better to act than to talk.
