"How many men do I need? Kirigakure alone is nothing. I am enough.
Those who violate the borders of the Land of Fire will be struck down by Mai."
Uchiha Mai chuckled lightly, showing his disdain for Kirigakure.
Indeed, Kirigakure before the Blood Mist Rebellion was strong in troops and rich in bloodline-limit ninja. Its mid- and high-level combat power was enough to rival Konoha's.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Hozuki Clan, the Ice Release clans, the Kaguya Clan...
But Kirigakure had one fatal weakness: it lacked truly top-tier combat power.
Mizukage Yagura was indeed very strong. During the Chunin Ninja Exams a few years ago, he had casually received Uchiha Mai's full-strength blow. But that was in the past.
The Ninja World universally recognized the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the Third Raikage, the Third Kazekage, and the Third Hokage as top experts.
Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, was the only one absent from that list. There was still a slight gap between his strength and that of the other Kage.
I, Uchiha Mai, will absolutely crush him!
Other than the Mizukage, Kirigakure only had one Three-Tails left.
Because the timeline had changed, the timing was different, and Kirigakure was isolated overseas with relatively limited information, Uchiha Mai did not know the Three-Tails' current situation.
Was it in the wild, or inside some Jinchuriki in Kirigakure?
In the original plot, the Three-Tails had only two Jinchuriki: Rin Nohara and Yagura. But this was not the original plot.
Senju Hashirama had given the Three-Tails to Kirigakure back then. After all these years, surely Kirigakure had managed to produce at least one Jinchuriki.
But so what if they had the Three-Tails, or a Three-Tails Jinchuriki?
He would still crush them!
