The spinning crimson javelin locked onto Yagura and shot toward him with ferocious momentum, moving at incredible speed.
Yagura did not dodge. Instead, he gripped both ends of his iron club and swung it at the incoming bone spear, smashing it in half with a force that seemed capable of uprooting mountains.
Uchiha Mai held his long blade as Innate Time Control: Double Speed activated. With one step, he appeared before Yagura, gathered chakra, and slashed more than a dozen times in rapid succession.
The ink-black blade danced like a raging storm, blooming with black radiance as it unleashed more than a dozen black sword auras.
That relentless momentum, like crashing waves battering the shore, was enough to crush any Jonin. But Mizukage Yagura was naturally no ordinary Jonin.
He gripped each end of the iron club with both hands. Without any exaggerated movements, he merely shifted the club slightly against the blade, blocking every one of those dozen strikes.
What?
Uchiha Mai was slightly surprised. Mizukage Yagura was even more formidable than he had imagined. He had thought he could easily crush him without even using Susanoo.
"Not bad. Such a tiny body, yet you can unleash such tremendous strength and withstand my attacks." Uchiha Mai praised him.
Yagura: !!!???

Many years ago, Yagura had stopped growing at 143 centimeters tall. It was a pain that would never leave him.
Though his face made him look about the same age as Uchiha Mai, he was over twenty years old and still a full head shorter than him.
Clang!
Yagura used a move akin to Raising Fire to Heaven to knock Uchiha Mai back. His small frame erupted with immense power as he swung the iron club down at him
