The Great Battle Against the Four Kage: Second Mizukage (Part One)

Sasuke glanced at Obito's mask and said, "You're just trying to stop me from interfering. Don't worry, although I have some feelings for that guy, we're enemies now, and I don't have time. With most of Konoha's forces here, I need to go back and eliminate Danzo. I've tolerated him for so long; it's time for him to repent for what he did."

Obito nodded and said, "I suggest you be careful. You should also get your new Itachi glasses. The situation is turbulent lately, and I don't have time to worry about you. Also, Kabuto seems to care a lot about you, so be careful."

Sasuke nodded, walked out expressionlessly, leaving Obito standing there alone...

Last night I had a crazy night with Hinata. When I woke up this morning, I was a little groggy, so I quickly washed up and went outside. Taking a walk in the morning is a good way to refresh yourself.

"Sixth Lord Hokage, wait a moment... I have urgent news to report!"

Just then, a hurried call came from behind Issui. He turned around and saw a middle-aged ninja wearing Konoha Forehead Protector. There were many ninjas in Konoha, Issui wasn't sure if he recognized any of Konoha. Although he didn't know them, Issui still showed the attitude befitting Hokage and patiently stopped, saying, "What's the matter?"

The middle-aged Konoha Ninja respectfully said, "Lord Hokage, I spotted some enemies not far from the Allied Forces' camp. I only observed them discreetly, but the enemy was completely covered by a black robe, and I could only vaguely make out his face. I was terrified; it didn't look like a human face at all. His face was covered in scales—it was horrifying! To avoid being discovered by the enemy, I hurried back, and that's how I ran into you."

Could it be Kabuto Yakushi? Besides him, who else could be that inhuman, ghost-like creature? Since he's appeared on his own, I'll just eliminate him to avoid future trouble. Although I don't know how he fused with Orochimaru's body and Chakra, I know what form he's taken, and I have the ability to eliminate him.

"Alright, you can go now and prepare for the battle to begin. I'll go check things out," Issui said to the middle-aged Konoha Ninja.

The middle-aged Konoha Ninja nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Hokage, I'll head back now. You should... be careful."

After parting ways with the middle-aged Konoha Ninja, Issui quickly headed towards the outer perimeter. He could vaguely sense several powerful Chakra waiting for him; it must be him. Issui accelerated forward again, but Issui there, he realized something was wrong—the Konoha Ninja from before was an imposter!

Why is it fake? There are probably two suspicious points. First, this Konoha Ninja appeared silently, and I could barely sense him getting close. How is that possible? Not to mention him, even other high-ranking Konoha ninjas, like Kakashi, would be able to sense when they get close. How could an ordinary Konoha Ninja escape my senses? That's too abnormal and obviously doesn't make sense.

The second suspicious point is that this Konoha Ninja was perfectly clean, and he spoke without even panting. Imagine an ordinary ninja discovering the enemy and quickly retreating – how could he guarantee he wouldn't be covered in dust, and wouldn't be panting from strenuous activity? It's truly strange. Based on these points, it's reasonable to conclude that the middle-aged Konoha Ninja was definitely an imposter. His purpose was likely to lure him out of the camp and into their trap. And to be able to transform so convincingly, only White Zetsu could do it; simulating the nature and aura of another's Chakra so perfectly is probably the only thing he could do.

The powerful auras I've sensed over the past few years seem to be specifically targeting me. It appears they intend to kill me beforehand, thus saving them a lot of trouble.

But Issui wasn't the kind of person to back down from trouble. Knowing there were tigers in the mountains, he still went towards them. He was very confident in his abilities and wanted to see what tricks they were playing. If possible, he would eliminate them one by one.

Having guessed the general situation Issui was no longer in a hurry, slowed down, and made her way there at a leisurely pace.

After walking for a short while, Issui discovered a valley. There was no vegetation in the valley, only desolate Gobi Desert and rugged, steep cliffs. Four people dressed in different clothes stood there talking.

Upon entering the valley, Issui's left eye began twitching violently for some reason, causing him considerable pain. He could sense that some great danger awaited him. Although he didn't believe in such things, it was always better to be cautious. To avoid any unforeseen events, Issui summoned the Blazing Liger Leins from his Sumeru Space.

"Leins, you stay outside the valley. If you spot me in danger, come in quickly and rescue me from the enemy," Issui instructed Leins.

Leins nodded at the lion's head and said, "Alright, but with your strength, what enemy are you afraid of? Even if you can't win, no one can stop you from leaving."

Issui waved his hand helplessly and said, "That's what they say these days, but who can predict the future? If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. It's only right to be cautious."

"Alright, go ahead, I'll take care of things." Leins lay down on the ground to rest. This guy has gotten fat lately, being fed and pampered every day, treated like Issui. But this pet is no ordinary one.

Upon entering the desolate valley, Issui immediately recognized the four people dressed in different styles. The most familiar one was the Fourth Kazekage, Gaara's father. Then there was a tall, dark-skinned old man who resembled the Fourth Raikage) carved on the shoulder of one of his arms, suggesting he was the Third Raikage.

Next was a guy completely wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes showing; he was probably the Second Tsuchikage Mu, a powerful ninja who possessed the Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Tōta even stronger than his own. Finally, there was a middle-aged man with a small mustache who looked somewhat sleazy; he was likely the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure.

"Oh, looks like our target has arrived. It's just a little guy. That wretched guy dragged us out of hell just to deal with this little brat? How outrageous! This doll isn't worth all of us taking on. It's beneath us. Ugh, so insignificant." The Second Mizukage said with a sneer.

Issui at the group of people before him, Kanna Ichisui said calmly, "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am Issui Kanna, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha in the Land of Fire. Today is truly a rare day, as the Hokage of all five villages have gathered here. Of course, we are probably not friends, but enemies. You have been Summoning to deal with me."

The Second Tsuchikage asked the Fourth Kazekage, "Do you know him? You died after us, so you should have heard of him. I didn't realize Konoha already had Sixth Hokage. Times have changed, and so many people from this era are no longer recognized. It's a terrible feeling to be forgotten."

The Fourth Kazekage shook his head and said, "I'm not quite sure. When I died, I only vaguely heard that a super genius had appeared in Konoha, but he wasn't well-known and was about the same age as my youngest son. I never imagined he would become the Sixth Hokage. It's truly astonishing."

The Third Raikage then spoke up, saying, "Those who can become Hokage are no ordinary people. The Hokage of Konoha throughout history have all been incredibly powerful individuals. He must possess corresponding abilities. In a village like Konoha, teeming with talent, he overcame numerous obstacles to become Hokage Position at a young age. His strength must be considerable."

The Second Mizukage scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of in a little kid? There's nothing to worry about. Since the person who summoned us wants to kill this troublesome kid, then to thank him for letting us see this world again, we'll just eliminate this little guy as well. Besides, I don't like Konoha. Why does Konoha occupy the most prosperous part of the continent, while we only occupy this poor, remote place?"

Issui sneered at the Second Mizukage and said, "You sleazy little mustache, killing me won't be so easy. Bring on your tricks, I'll take them all."

The Second Mizukage was instantly enraged upon hearing the words "mustache." He was utterly enraged. How dare they call him "mustache"? How could they be so disrespectful? Didn't they know he hated being called "mustache"? And to call him lewd? How was he lewd? He was the proper Second Mizukage of Kirigakure, supposed to be incredibly brave and powerful. How could they call him lewd? It was outrageous!

"Honestly, I want to kill you, kid. You talk too recklessly. After you die, you should reflect on whether you shouldn't have spoken to your seniors like that. Don't think that just because you've become Hokage you can be arrogant. You're not like the First or Second Hokage."

The Second Tsuchikage gave Issui a meaningful look. This kid wasn't as simple as he seemed; his senses told him this was definitely not a simple character. Facing four Kage without flinching, he was either incredibly confident in his strength or simply stupid. But could someone who became Hokage be an idiot? Impossible.

However, a fierce battle between the little guy and the Second Mizukage is inevitable, since the Second Mizukage hates nothing more than hearing the words "little mustache," which are his taboo subject.

"Hmph, then let me show you my wrath. In my time, I had a very prestigious title: Tyrant of War. I hope you understand and accept my challenge today. I want to see just how powerful you are, daring to make such boastful claims. Some things can't be said carelessly, you need to understand that!" The Second Mizukage spoke calmly, channeling his Chakra energy. The powerful energy caused his clothes to vibrate and rustle.

Issui pulled a Shuriken from his backpack and threw it on the ground, saying, "Let's begin. Although our relationship with Kirigakure is currently good, killing someone as dead as you shouldn't be a problem, right...?"
