"Take off your mask and talk to me."
"In terms of strength, you are definitely no match for me. Besides, don't you think this scene looks a bit similar?"
Shiyu remembered that the first time he met her, it was in this very scene.
"Is that you, Mei Terumi?"
"Just as the leader of Kirigakure was about to take off his mask, two figures rushed towards Shiyu, so the leader of Kirigakure did not remove the mask from his hand."
Two figures arrived at the battlefield at the same time, and Shiyu was also very vigilant.
"Who are these two people? Their chakra reserves are enormous!" Shiyu squinted slightly.
Whether by coincidence or design, the newcomer also had long hair and squinted, looking as if he were asleep.
The leader of Kirigakure was taken aback, looking at the two supporting ninjas with an incredulous expression.
"The Third Mizukage!" the leader of Kirigakure reminded him.
"What!? The Third Mizukage!?" Shiyu was also taken aback. He knew that these two people were very strong, but he couldn't guess their identities. Now it seemed that they were indeed the Third Mizukage.
"The Third Mizukage has actually gone to the battlefield? And who is the other person?" Shiyu asked.
Of course, the Third Mizukage and another mysterious ninja would not give Shiyu an answer.
"You should leave here immediately. You are no match for the Light of the Shinobi World," the Third Mizukage said. The Hidden Kirigakure leader hesitated for a moment, then nodded, seemingly glancing at Shiyu before leaving.
Shiyu wanted to give chase, but then felt it was inappropriate, so she decided to focus on dealing with the two enemies in front of her first.
Another ninja was quite mysterious, wearing a black cloak and a mask, looking just like a future Obito. He carefully gave the Third Mizukage a few words of advice.
"Light of the Shinobi World, I want to negotiate with you," the Third Mizukage said calmly.
"Want to negotiate with me?" Shiyu was also very puzzled, wondering what the Third Mizukage was up to.
"What is your purpose? What do you want to get? And what do you want to give me?" Shiyu asked.
The Third Mizukage said, "I heard you've broken ties with Konoha? Why are you still helping Konoha? I just want to know your thoughts, of course, you don't have to answer me."
Shiyu then said, "Yes, I betrayed Konoha, but I didn't help Konoha; I was just helping my friend."
The Third Mizukage nodded. "I understand. You want to rescue your old friend from Konoha. You truly are a loyal and compassionate Uchiha!"
"I can spare your friend, and I can overlook the fact that you killed Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Kirigakure. I might even give you whatever you want. How about you come to Kirigakure and serve me?"
"Perhaps, after I die, even the position of Mizukage will be yours," the Third Mizukage said.
Shiyu Yu laughed and said, "This is really interesting! Is the position of Shadow so worthless now?"
"I'm sorry, but I must refuse. I currently have no intention of joining any other ninja village. If I need anything, I'll get it myself. I don't want to make any demands on you, because you can't even make decisions for yourself." Shiyu's words were laced with sarcasm, expressing his suspicion of the Third Hokage.
The Third Mizukage was quite surprised.
"What do you mean I can't make my own decisions? I am the Third Mizukage." The Third Mizukage was slightly angry, and his eyes widened a little.
"Lord Mizukage, please don't be angry, Mr. Light of the Shinobi World! This is a great opportunity! By joining Kirigakure, you can truly rise above everyone else. The reason Konoha rejects you is simply because of your bloodline," the mysterious ninja advised.
"Haha! Your Kirigakure persecutes clans with Kekkei Genkai even more than Konoha, don't you? You want to persuade me to join Kirigakure? Wishful thinking! Konoha is not worthy of me, and you are not worthy at all."
Shiyu has completely broken ties with the Third Mizukage and the mysterious ninja.
"Since you've already said this much, I have no choice but to fight!" The Third Mizukage immediately threw off his robe, revealing the armor underneath.
"Water Release: Water Ripple Technique!" The Third Mizukage unleashed a powerful Water Release, spreading outwards from himself with a large number of impactful Water Release shockwaves.
This move was extremely powerful and indiscriminate; both the mysterious ninja and Shiyu immediately dodged backward.
Shiyu Body Flicker Technique teleported Might Duy away, reminding him, "You should hurry and meet up with Kai! Even if you've opened the Eight Gates, you might not be a match for this level of combat."
"Let's go! Don't say any more." Shiyu interrupted Dai before returning to the battlefield.
"Light of the Shinobi World, I thought you had run away," the Third Mizukage said.
"How could I possibly run away? Are you two going to attack together?" Shiyu clearly didn't take the Third Mizukage, Kage Level figure, seriously.
"Your tone is arrogant. I've heard about your victories over the Third Tsuchikage, the Third Raikage, and Hanzo of Amegakure, but I don't know how much of it was exaggerated." The Third Mizukage clearly knew Shiyu's abilities, yet he still wanted to fight Shiyu.
"Not bad, you're stronger than those opponents, at least in terms of conviction. So, to show my respect for you, I intend to fight you seriously." Shiyu smiled faintly.
Then it suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already behind the mysterious ninja.
"Instant Blade - One-Line Iai!" Shiyu swiftly swung his meteor sword before sheathing it again.
"Such speed!" The Third Mizukage exclaimed in surprise, "Faster than Tobirama Senju!"
Having been struck by Shiyu's swift attack, the mysterious ninja was instantly torn to pieces. However, Shiyu clearly saw that the separated parts of the ninja's body returned to their original form.
"What is this?" Shiyu was also somewhat surprised.
"Sharingan!" Shiyu activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, clearly seeing the chakra flowing around the mysterious ninja.
"This guy is definitely not human, but why does he have such powerful chakra? It really is caused by Hashirama Cells."
"Could it be White Zetsu? Impossible! White Zetsu shouldn't be this strong." Shiyu thought this, the mysterious ninja beneath his feet completed its fusion and launched a long-range thrust.
The Third Mizukage still squinted, seemingly unwilling to rescue his allies, or perhaps he felt it was unnecessary.
Shiyu deflected the ninja's thrust, only to find that the mysterious ninja was like mud, clinging to Shiyu's sword, and no matter how much he kicked or swung, he couldn't get rid of him.
"Since you don't want to come down, how about I give you a gift?"
"Okatana - Roaring Wind and Thunder!" Shiyu unleashed an extreme amount of Lightning Release Chakra, triggering divine punishment.
