Uh, I accidentally sliced up the Three-Tails.

Dark clouds blanketed the sky, like blue flames burning on the bottomless sea. Lightning flashed and thunder roared like the arrows of the sea god, mercilessly drowning all the ships in the depths of the waves.

Yakura, Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, becomes a giant turtle, and every move he makes is bound to stir up surging waves.

Silver waves surged in, crashing against the coastal reefs and shattering into jade-like fragments, a sight to behold.

Compared to the Three-Tails Isobu, Sasori was as insignificant as a tiny speck of dust; even a single drop of saliva from the Three-Tails Isobu's mouth would be enough to bury Sasori.

"The Three-Tails' fighting power in the sea is skyrocketing. Aren't you going to help?" Black Zetsu asked, bringing a dazed Kimimaro to Tōka's side.

"Let's wait and see. Scorpion shouldn't be that weak." Tōka stood on a hilltop, looking down over the entire beach.

Facing Yakura, Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, Sasori slowly pulled a Scroll from his sleeve.

A sealed scroll with the word "Thunder" written on it!

Bang!

A cloud of white mist rose up!

An elderly man with dark skin and a long beard appeared in front of Scorpion. He was very strong, with a lightning-shaped scar on his chest and a thunder tattoo on his right shoulder.

It was none other than the deceased Third Raikage of Kumogakure, the man known as the Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield!

It possesses fighting power comparable to that of the wild form of the Eight-Tails Ox Demon!

"Oh? They've even brought out the Third Raikage's Human Puppet. It seems Sasori is serious!" Black Zetsu's pupils contracted slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as if he had become interested.

He was the one who secretly infiltrated the Land of Earth and replaced the Third Raikage's body with White Zetsu.

The corpse that Kumogakure redeemed with a large sum of money was merely a White Zetsu's Object Transformation as the Third Raikage's body.

"It's said that the Third Raikage could fight the Eight-Tails Ox Demon head-on, I wonder if that's true?" Tōka said with interest, arms crossed.

"The Third Raikage mastered the Lightning Release Taijutsu of Kumogakure to its peak; it's likely true that he fought the Eight-Tails one-on-one."

As Black Zetsu finished speaking, Sasori jumped out of the Hiruko, revealing his true form: a handsome young man with red hair hidden beneath Red Clouds on a Black Background Coat.

Sasori's ten fingers moved rapidly, and ten Chakra Threads shot out, connecting to the various joints of the Raikage Human Puppet.

Kerala...

Kerala...

The Third Raikage's body crackled with lightning, transforming into a Lightning cloak that enveloped his muscular frame, and every movement he made was accompanied by flashes of electricity.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

By concentrating Lightning Release chakra throughout the body, the entire body is covered in lightning, greatly enhancing physical defense and enabling the use of Lightning Body Flicker Technique.

As the amount of Lightning Release chakra increases, so does its defense and speed, hence it is known as the Strongest Shield.

"The Three-Tails has moved!" Black Zetsu's sudden exclamation startled Tōka from his reverie.

Suddenly, the Three-Tails' body swelled up, its abdomen bulging as it held its breath, and violent chakra gathered in Isobu's mouth.

The dense Water Release Chakra made the surrounding air moist and viscous.

"Water Release: Isobu Iron Cannonball!"

Bang!

As the Three-Tails creature suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a huge ball of water, a domineering aura erupted, and the cannonball formed from the water ball, visible to the naked eye, broke through the waves and rushed towards Sasori.

The ocean waves splashed and bounced to both sides.

Where the water cannonballs passed, the sea seemed to be cut in two by a sharp blade, the exaggerated sponge split in two, and the surging waves rose up and hit the sides with huge waves tens of meters high.

Sizzle...

On the shore where the waves were towering, Scorpion stared calmly at the enormous water cannon that blotted out the sky, his ten fingers twitching rapidly as he waved them around.

The Third Raikage, his body crackling with lightning, was pulled upwards by Chakra Threads, facing the massive water cannonball hurtling towards him.

"Hell Stab - Four-Fingered Hand Thrust!"

The Third Raikage raised his right hand, his four fingers together in a palm-blade shape, Lightning gathering at his fingertips, the dazzling flashes of lightning dazzling the eye.

Puff!

With a flick of his finger, Sasori issued a command by pulling the Chakra Threads!

The Third Raikage stepped on the air, creating a visible shockwave, and used the force to propel himself forward, shooting straight at the tsunami-like giant wave.

Boom!!

A thunderbolt and a body of water collided violently.

In an instant, the water sphere exploded with a roar. Raikage's Hell Stab was clearly superior, with lightning flashing and thunder crackling, and water splashing everywhere like shattered ice crystals.

The immense power was not neutralized by the collision; on the contrary, the splashing water from the mines caused the two terrifying forces to overflow.

A massive storm whipped up waves that rose into the air, creating a Vortex Storm tens of meters high.

Mixed with seawater, it rushed wildly towards the island, like a giant hand formed by a huge wave slamming down.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're kidding, right?!" Black Zetsu stared dumbfounded at the massive wave that filled the entire screen, then immediately used his Mayfly Technique to sink into the earth.

The young boy Kimimaro, standing to the side, was completely stunned and frozen in place.

Tōka stared expressionlessly at the storm. If this wave were to sweep directly over the island, it could potentially flood the Market Town in the low-lying center!

The advantage of a small island surrounded by mountains is that ordinary storms and waves cannot cross the mountains to threaten the central Market Town.

But if a storm were to cross a mountain, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

"As expected of the Fourth Mizukage who enforces iron-fisted policies, does he not care about the lives of the people of the Land of Water at all?" Tōka's calm face revealed a chilling aura; he never considered himself a good person.

However, instead of protecting the civilians of the Land of Water, the Mizukage recklessly unleashed this devastating Ninjutsu.

The Fourth Mizukage is nothing special...

Click!

Tōka bit her thumb, and blood seeped from between her teeth, flowing down her fingers and into her palm.

Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei!

"Summoning Technique: Triple Rashōmon!"

Puff puff puff!!

The powerful chakra surged like a giant wave, and three huge plumes of White Smoke rose into the air, followed by a violent tremor of the earth.

It was as if something terrible was about to burst forth from the ground.

One after another, terrifying ghost faces, as ferocious as Shinigami demons, burst forth from the ground like Big Tree, directly blocking the path of the Vortex Storm.

Wow!!

The massive waves crashed against the sturdy, ghost-faced gate, shattering it into tiny, crystalline fragments that scattered all around.

The Triple Rashōmon perfectly blocked more than 90% of the water flow, and the remaining seawater, even if it crossed the Rashōmon, would be absorbed by the mountain and was not a concern.

"Teacher, so strong..." Kimimaro looked at Tōka's back with admiration, his mouth slightly open, revealing a shocked expression.

Kimimaro didn't know what the strongest was; he only knew that the thin figure in front of him seemed infinitely tall and mighty. His teacher, his ancestor, must be the strongest!

The figure seemed both near and far; Kimimaro reached out his small hand, wanting to touch Tōka's back.

"It's right in front of me, yet it feels like I can never reach it."

Kimimaro paused, then withdrew his arm, clenching his fist tightly, and silently made up his mind.

One day, he will catch up with his teacher, no longer just gazing at that unreachable figure, but standing behind his teacher!

Thump!

A dull ache came from his forehead, instantly waking Kimimaro from his reverie.

He shook his head blankly, only to see Tōka withdrawing the finger that had flicked his forehead. He instinctively called out, "Teacher?"

"Don't just stand there, let's go catch a pet!" Tōka said with a smile, putting a hand on Kimimaro's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation of spatial power enveloped the two of them.

Ripples spread across the Void, and Tōka and Kimimaro's bodies vanished from their spots in an instant.

Buzz!

On the shore of the small island, a cluster of pure-colored Vortex patterns blooms.

Tōka took a step and emerged from the Void, with Kimimaro following behind him.

"Why are you here?" Scorpion glanced at Tōka with a cold expression, his voice suppressed with displeasure.

The towering waves couldn't harm the scorpion, but the massive storm surge was enough to submerge the entire coastline.

The scorpion was in the center of the raging waves, and was extremely disheveled as the giant waves pounded against its body.

She wore a Red Clouds on a Black Background Coat covered in seaweed, and her bright red hair was soaked through.

"You're too slow. Leave the rest to me." As he spoke, Tōka closed his eyes, then slowly opened them to reveal a pair of Ice Blue pupils.

Scorpion opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words that were about to come out.

With a bang, Sasori put away the Third Raikage's Human Puppet and summoned Hiruko, then rushed into Hiruko.

Ding ding...

Hiruko's mechanism closed again, completely enveloping Sasori's Original Body.

Roar!!

Upon seeing Tōka's appearance, Yakura realized that his Elite Squad must have been wiped out, and he didn't care about their lives.

Instead, he was extremely angry; after all, he was the Fourth Mizukage!

The most perfect Jinchūriki!

How dare they kill Kirigakure ninja right in front of him?!

"You all must die!" Yakura's voice rang out, trembling unnaturally due to his anger and rage, and his eyes darkened.

The chilling killing intent was colder than the deep sea.

Even though they were thousands of meters apart, Kimimaro's face turned pale, and her breathing became rapid.

It possessed the aura of Kage-level, and the malevolent aura of Tailed Beast.

Chakra surged forth, and the chakra within the Three-Tails boiled and steamed like boiling water, transforming into visible Chakra Storm that swept across the near sea.

The seawater crashed against the reefs, wave after wave, washing countless fish and shrimp ashore.

Buzz!

Chakra coalesces, Jutsu Formula activated!

"Water Release: Isobu Great Waterfall!"

Yakura roared, instantly unleashing a massive amount of chakra, creating a powerful wave that radiated outwards from his body.

Huge waves, filling the entire sky and earth, crashed in, and the reefs at the edge of the island could no longer hold back the white spray.

"Kimimaro, stand behind me." Tōka stared intently at the huge waves in front of him, his vision filled with the overwhelming crashing of the sea.

Kimimaro had been in a daze, immediately snapped back to his senses. His little head sank solemnly, and he quickly curled up into a ball behind Tōka.

A strange feeling arose, Kimimaro, standing behind Tōka, stared blankly at the thin figure's back.

Suddenly, he felt all the raging winds and waves disappear.

You can't hear the roar of the ocean, and you can't see the ferocious faces of the giant waves.

All that remained in my heart was peace, as if this small, confined space could defy any power in the world!

Even the vast ocean and the boundless sky!

Tōka slowly raised his right hand, and countless dazzling orbs of light gathered in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, the ball of light in his palm transformed into a dazzling golden sphere, shining brightly like a small sun.

The golden sphere of light continued to change, radiating light from the silver mark between Tōka's eyebrows.

The golden sphere of light shone for four feet, soaring into the sky, and a golden pillar of light shot straight up to the heavens, illuminating the entire gloomy sky.

Reincarnated as a golden blade, severing karmic ties and worldly connections.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

The ultimate application of the Tenseigan's Repulsive Force, the ultimate secret of Repulsive Force, a single strike powerful enough to slice through the moon!

Clang!!

The piercing cry shook the heavens.

Tōka's gaze sharpened as he locked onto the Three-Tails's aura. He swept his arm across the sea, and a golden pillar of light spanned the entire ocean, causing towering waves to crumble upon it.

The massive wave that filled the field of vision was instantly split in two!

Rumble!!

The enormous waves crashed back onto the sea surface, creating huge sprays of water, as the mid-level support was severed.

A series of deafening roars shook the entire island, as if a tsunami was about to sweep across the ocean.

Wherever the golden light passed, everything was split in two.

A mountain range, far at the edge of the sea, is cut in half, and golden light flows from the clean cut at the break.

In the villages of the five great Ninja World Five Great Nations, the rooms where the sensory teams were located trembled, and everyone inside stared in shock at the sensory spheres.

Chakra comparable to that of Tailed Beast was bubbling wildly.

Is World War IV about to break out? This thought inevitably crossed everyone's mind.

At the same time, the sensory team quickly dispatched speed-type ninjas to report the massive chakra fluctuations they sensed.

The powerful figures in the Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Water held an emergency meeting.

Almost unanimously, they agreed to immediately dispatch an Elite Squad led by Elite Jonin and consisting of three Chunin or higher-ranking ninjas.

The Elite Squad from the Four Great Nations headed straight for the Land of Water, a small island surrounded by mountains.

Meanwhile, Kirigakure realized that the Fourth Mizukage Yakura, might have directly Tailed Beast Transformation, and considered the enemy who had driven Yakura to such a point.

Kirigakure dispatched three Elite Squad, three Elite Jonin, and nine Jonin!

Outside the small island surrounded by mountains, the waves gradually subsided, and four figures appeared one after another on the shore, looking up at the waters near and far.

"Tōka, you went too far!" Black Zetsu frowned in dissatisfaction, looking around the nearshore area where the Three-Tails was nowhere to be seen.

Splash...

The whitish seawater surged onto the beach, washing over everyone's toes, before quickly receding to reveal the sandy, pebbly ground beneath.

A body severed in half was washed ashore by the sea. Tōka raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and then made a grasping motion in the air.

An Attractive Force erupted, and the two severed pieces of the corpse immediately flew towards them.

The body's chest and above were completely reduced to ashes, but it was easy to identify that this guy was none other than the Fourth Mizukage — Yakura!

"Dead? Doesn't that mean..." Tōka raised an eyebrow and murmured.

Yakura was the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, and the death of the Jinchūriki means that the Three-Tails within him also died?

Was this trip a complete waste?

"I should have let me do it." Scorpion glanced at Tōka speechlessly, his hoarse, deep voice ringing out.

Although this operation was not a mission issued by Pain and he did not need to report back, he was exhausted from traveling by boat for several days to get here.

The mission objective was sliced in two by Tōka in one move...

I really want to punch someone! If I could beat Tōka, Scorpion secretly glanced at Tōka before immediately withdrawing his cold gaze.

"Yakura is dead, and the Three-Tails is gone too. What should we do next?" Black Zetsu shrugged and looked at Tōka, giving him a "you figure it out" look.

"The Three-Tails will be reborn even if it dies. There are still a few years until the plan to capture the Tailed Beast is completed." Tōka pondered for a moment and decided to put the matter of the Three-Tails aside.

As for Yakura's death, it did affect his plans, but plans can't keep up with changes.

Yakura is dead, why not just create a living Yakura?

"Prepare a White Zetsu," Tōka said casually, then turned and walked towards the Market Town inside the island.

After a big battle, I'm a little hungry...

"White Zetsu?" Another Object Transformation, I hope no one notices.

Black Zetsu shrugged and followed Tōka's steps, indicating that he had no objections; after all, he was just a bystander.

Sasori was not a talkative person. Although the mission failed, he did obtain Yakura's corpse.

A perfect work of art. At this moment, Sasori was probably secretly rejoicing. It was really great that Tōka had defeated the Fourth Mizukage in one move.

As for Kimimaro, after witnessing Tōka's power, he followed Tōka silently like a shadow.

Rustling...

The leaves rustle in the feng shui tree, and the sand and stones rustle underfoot.

Kisame witnessed everything that happened on the beach. Kisame emerged halfway out of the Forest, staring blankly at Tōka and his group as they strolled towards them.

So strong! Really strong!

So powerful that it leaves no room for resistance, so powerful that one can't even see its face clearly when looking up to it, so powerful that it's right in front of you yet you can't touch it!

Only such a strong person is worthy of his following!

"Kisame, what are you standing there for?" Tōka's figure slowly walked into the Mountain Stream Forest, and he spoke as he brushed past Kisame.

"Huh? Isn't that shark-faced Sharks Mizukage's bodyguard from earlier?" Black Zetsu looked at Kisame strangely, not understanding when this guy had become "one of their own"!

Tōka didn't explain, nor did he bother to. He simply led Kimimaro into the mountains.

Sasori glanced at Kisame for a moment, then looked away, walking away as if it were none of his business.

Black Zetsu's embarrassed expression One Flash for a moment upon seeing this, then his gaze turned menacing as he stared at Kisame.

He gave me a look that said, "If you don't explain yourself clearly, you're not leaving here alive today!"

Of course, Black Zetsu didn't intend to kill Kisame; he just wanted to scare Kisame. After all, a newcomer needs to be given a bit of a show of force.

"That's how it is..." Kisame took off his Forehead Protector, picked up a sharp pebble, and drew a line across Forehead Protector.

A horizontal scratch runs through the Forehead Protector, a mark of Rogue Ninja!

"Now, I have decided to follow Tōka."

Kisame grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth, a smile that was even uglier than a grimace.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes, and revealed a faint smile. Interesting little fellow...
