"Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura!"
"Elite Jonin Terumi Mei!"
"Elite Jonin Ao!"
"And the Lightning Release prodigy, Yuri."
"..."
The more Uchiha Itachi watched, the grimmer his expression became, and he could not help clenching his fists.
He knew that Kirigakure's Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, was "Uchiha Madara's" puppet, but he had not expected "Uchiha Madara" to be this ruthless, directly mobilizing all of Kirigakure's forces.
Such a large-scale deployment of Kirigakure's ninja would draw opposition from Kirigakure's ninja even if it was ordered by the Fourth Mizukage.
"Madara, does Namikaze Menma hold more value in your eyes than all of Kirigakure!?"
Uchiha Itachi said.
He could not help looking toward "Uchiha Madara."
Uchiha Obito snorted inwardly.
What nonsense!
The Fourth Mizukage was nothing but trash. How could he possibly compare to Namikaze Menma, who even made him wary?
"Again!?"
Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan spun. Once he saw who the enemies were this time, his expression immediately changed drastically.
"This is..."
"Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, Terumi Mei, Ao, Yuri..."
"Lord Naruto, Kirigakure's ninja are here, and they have mobilized all their forces. This is bad."
A trace of cold sweat seeped from Uchiha Shisui's forehead. He believed in Uzumaki Naruto's strength, but the enemies before them were all of Kirigakure's top-tier combat forces.
Especially since they were on an island, surrounded by the sea on all sides. Water Release ninja could practically double their strength here. "I know."
A fiery light appeared in Uzumaki Naruto's eyes. He slammed his fists together and rose from the reef.
"This is a trial. The enemies we face next will be a hundred times more terrifying than this. If we cannot even deal with enemies like these, how can I achieve my goal!?"
"Shisui, leave the Fourth Mizukage to me. You delay the rest."
