Uchiha Madara: Is He Insulting Me?

"The divine power of the Uchiha Clan, Susanoo."

A look of reminiscence crossed the Third Mizukage's face. "I was fortunate enough to witness this power once. Uchiha Madara's Susanoo was indeed incredibly powerful."

"I've heard that above the ordinary Susanoo, there exists a true Susanoo known as the Complete Susanoo, but unfortunately, I've never seen one."

On the opposite side, on the beach of Kijin Island.

At this moment, the distance between Qingye and the Third Mizukage was less than twenty meters.

As the Third Mizukage across from him recounted the story of Uchiha Madara Susanoo a nostalgic tone, Qingye's expression became somewhat strange.

The Third Mizukage...

What exactly is this guy's state right now?

Is the consciousness standing opposite him, speaking to him, the distorted and altered consciousness of the Third Mizukage, or the consciousness of Uchiha Madara?

If it's Uchiha Madara...

Is this guy just awkwardly praising himself like this?

You have such a thick skin!

Qingye activated his Sharingan and looked at the Third Mizukage, but all he saw was chaotic Chakra within him.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga can clearly see all the Chakra in the meridians and acupoints of the human body, while the Sharingan can only see the rough flow of Chakra.

If the Sharingan sees that a target's Chakra is disordered, the target is most likely under the Genjutsu.

However, the Third Mizukage's Chakra flow is currently normal!

For a Qingye, Aoya couldn't understand how Uchiha Madara controlled the Third Mizukage.

"What a pity, if only we had Amaterasu."

Looking at the head of the Third Mizukage opposite him, Qingye felt a pang of regret.

Use the Kotoamatsukami Dōjutsu to lock onto the inevitable world line, then Amaterasu will directly burn your head!

Compared to Amaterasu, Susanoo before shooting an arrow seems to have too long a wind-up.

Seeing that Qingye hadn't responded to his words, and there was an awkward silence for a while, the Third Mizukage seemed a little embarrassed, but he could only force himself to continue:

"I've also done some research on the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan."

"Compared to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan brings a qualitative leap in insight, a spiritual Dōjutsu, and the divine power of Susanoo. All of these combined can lead to a dramatic increase in a person's strength."

"There must be very few people in the history of the Uchiha Clan who could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan at your age."

"However, this immense power comes at a price; I wonder if you've noticed it."

On the other side, Qingye had already made his decision.

The person speaking to him now is Uchiha Madara himself!

What do you want to say?

Qingye suddenly chuckled.

Uchiha Madara, that guy, had been sending White Zetsu to keep an eye on me, and now he's manipulating the Third Mizukage to come find me alone. It seems like he's finally going to have to lay his cards on the table!

"Losing your sight is the ultimate fate of the Mangekyō Sharingan, you must know that, right?" the Third Mizukage continued.

"So what?"

"..."

The Third Mizukage frowned.

He sensed that Uchiha Aoya's attitude was a bit off.

However, thinking about it, it's understandable. He's speaking as an enemy, so the other party is bound to be wary.

"What if I knew how to escape this fate of blindness?"

The Third Mizukage finally threw out the bait.

"You?"

Aoya's attitude remained unchanged. "Are you saying that even the Uchiha clan of Konoha can't solve this problem, yet you, the Mizukage, have a solution?"

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage finally laughed.

As expected.

They've taken the bait!

As long as he had that one thought for a moment, he wasn't afraid that Uchiha Aoya wouldn't believe him!

"The Uchiha Clan of Konoha are nothing but a pack of spineless guard dogs."

The Third Mizukage shook his head and chuckled, "Besides, who do you think I am? How dare you assume I wouldn't know these things?"

"You? You're nothing but a loser!"

Qingye's face clearly showed mockery. "Back then, he couldn't compete with the Second, and in the end, he could only hide like a rat in a gutter after his defeat, only daring to come out and jump around again after the Second died."

"..."

The Third Mizukage's face contorted in pain.

Deep within his consciousness, Uchiha Madara, who was controlling this body, was somewhat suspicious.

Uchiha Aoya was insulting the Third Mizukage with those words, right?

Yes, that must be it!

The Third Mizukage's experience was indeed that he couldn't compete with the Second and only dared to emerge after the Second's death.

Surely he couldn't be talking about himself, could he?

Putting aside the fact that Uchiha Aoya couldn't possibly know he was currently controlling the Third Mizukage, let's just say this: when has he ever been inferior to the Second?

He didn't even consider Senju Tobirama, that treacherous villain, a jerk!

"I'm probably overthinking it..."

Uchiha Madara thought to himself.

However, since the other party had already gone this far, even if he was now using the identity of the Third Mizukage, he could no longer continue to lead them as originally planned.

"You're quite arrogant!"

The Third Mizukage sneered, "Since that's the case, let's fight first. There must be other Konoha ninja on this island, right? Don't worry, I'm the only one here. You can send all of them at once!"

"I am enough to deal with you alone."

Qingye spoke, she gazed at the boundless sea stretching before her.

Now that we're at sea, it's a good opportunity to try out the Ninjutsu I developed while practicing Lightning Release: Kirin.

With this Ninjutsu, the ocean is his domain!

Behind them, inside Kijin Island, Yamanaka Santen returned with two Akimichi Clan ninjas. Each of these two Akimichi Clan ninjas carried two large wooden barrels, each over a meter tall, on their shoulders.

The heavy wooden barrels, filled with liquid, were placed on the beach.

Yamanaka Santen pulled out four Explosive Tag and stuck them on one by one. "Throw these onto the sea, right?"

At first, he was somewhat puzzled when he heard Uchiha Aoya's order.

But recalling the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, he immediately realized the enemy's intentions!

"That's right."

Qingye nodded approvingly.

Two Akimichi Clan ninjas simultaneously used the Expansion Jutsu, their right arms swelling to form enormous hands that grabbed the wooden barrels. At the same time, the Explosive Tag attached to the barrels were ignited.

whoosh--

A sharp, whistling sound rang out as the wooden barrel flew high into the air, its Explosive Tag detonating mid-air!

With a loud bang, the wooden barrel exploded, splattering pine resin and lard everywhere. Ignited by the Explosive Tag, it looked like a meteor shower was falling on the sea!

"Oil?"

The Third Mizukage frowned and quickly retreated to a distance of fifty meters.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and the seawater beneath his feet rose to form a spherical water prison, enveloping him within it.

Outside, pine resin and lard splattered all over the sea and began to burn.

"You guys get out of here right now, so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

Qingye waved his hand, signaling the others in the Yamanaka Santen to step back, while silently chanting in his mind.

"System, postpone loan repayment!"

Several months later, after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, he unusually postponed repaying his loan once again. Feeling his restored Chakra reserves, Qingye's chest swelled:

Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction!

Flames erupted everywhere, igniting all the pine resin and lard floating on the sea surface, and the entire sea was engulfed in flames!

Want to try the same trick again?

The Third Mizukage, hidden inside a spherical water prison, isolated himself from the outside flames. "You did the same thing on the battlefield in Iwagakure, didn't you? Using flames to create large amounts of water vapor, then forming thunderclouds to guide lightning attacks."

However, this time the other party had prepared oil in advance, making it easier to generate steam.

Want to use the same trick again?

Uchiha Madara sneered inwardly.

The Third Mizukage, whom he currently controls, failed to become the Second Mizukage because he was defeated by Hozuki Gengetsu's Infinite Explosion Ninjutsu, Steaming Danger Tyranny!

But now, with the Second Mizukage dead, the Third Mizukage is absolutely invincible as long as he stands on the sea!

As for Uchiha Aoya's Susanoo...

Others may not know the burden that an ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan Susanoo on Susanoo, but how could he, who had once been on the verge of blindness, not know?
