Hidden Mist Technique

"Old man!"

Kurotsuchi exclaimed, flying up to rescue him.

But Kitsuchi was one step ahead of her. After leaping into the air, he caught Ōnoki.

"Damn it... I feel like my lumbar spine is broken. Help me to the side to rest."

Ōnoki's face flushed red with pain, and he covered his old waist with one hand, not daring to move at all.

"Okay." Kitsuchi looked solemnly in Mingyou's direction, then burst forth with the strength of a father and leaped back.

"Haaah!"

The Fourth Raikage seized the opportunity, unleashing his lightning-like speed, and punched fiercely towards Mingyou.

But unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't surpass the intangibility of Kamui.

His punch missed, passing right through Mingyou's body.

Although the Raikage's strength was great and his speed was also very fast, he generally attacked in a straight line, and his momentum was also very strong.

Suddenly losing his target, he rushed forward for more than ten meters, creating a large distance between himself and Mingyou.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Mingyou formed several hand seals with lightning speed, and a large amount of water surged beneath him, condensing into a water dragon more than ten meters long.

The water dragon's eyes gleamed with a ghastly red light as it pounced towards Darui and the Land of Lightning ninjas on the roof.

Boom!

Although the Water Dragon Bullet was not a particularly powerful ninjutsu, it still shattered the roof upon impact.

Splash!

In an instant, a large torrent of water poured down, along with a large number of broken bricks and tiles falling to the ground.

Looking at Darui and those Land of Lightning ninjas, they had originally planned to take advantage of the Raikage's attack to launch an assault on Mingyou.

But they never expected that Mingyou's hand seal technique could be so fast, preemptively releasing a powerful Water Release ninjutsu before they could even react.

Although Mingyou's Water Release ninjutsu did not cause substantial damage to those ninjas, it completely disrupted their attack rhythm.

"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"

Mingyou didn't stop at all. As soon as one ninjutsu hand seal was completed, he began preparing to release the next one.

As the last seal was completed, a large amount of Chakra surged from Mingyou's body surface and floated in all directions.

The courtyard, already flooded with water, was covered in a thick fog, which grew stronger and quickly enveloped the entire Daimyo's residence.

The Hidden Mist Technique uses Chakra to stir up water and create a dense fog. As long as enough Chakra is released, the density of the fog will become even stronger.

Mingyou was already besieged on all sides, so using this ninjutsu to disrupt the enemy's line of sight was the most appropriate method.

"What's going on? Why is there suddenly so much fog?!"

"Are you an idiot? That Uchiha kid just used some kind of ninjutsu."

For a time, the Land of Lightning ninjas, having lost their target, were somewhat flustered.

They chattered about countermeasures, but were helpless against the dense fog that only allowed them to see half a meter in front of them.

"Is this my Hidden Mist Technique?"

Mei Terumi, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, looked puzzled. The Hidden Mist Technique was a ninjutsu that only Kirigakure ninjas could use. How could Mingyou be able to use it?

"Damn it... Shi, quickly find a way to find that kid for me."

The Fourth Raikage roared and gave Shi an order.

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

Shi agreed, clasping his hands together tightly, raising his index and middle fingers, closing his eyes, and activating his sensory abilities.

"How could he disappear? Impossible."

Shi frowned, closing his eyes and expanding his sensory range to cover the entire Daimyo's residence.

But unfortunately, after a short while, Shi still gained nothing and failed to find Mingyou's trace.

"Behind you!"

Shi's face changed drastically. He suddenly sensed a strong surge of air behind him and swung the Kunai in his hand sharply, stabbing towards the rear.

"Too bad, you noticed too late."

Lightning crackled on Mingyou's body as he activated the Chakra cell activation ability copied from the Fourth Raikage.

Whoosh!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Mingyou was like a moving lightning bolt, reaching Shi in a straight line.

His hand, charged with lightning, pierced straight through Shi's chest, then clenched his fist hard, crushing Shi's heart.

"So fast..." A large amount of blood gushed from Shi's mouth, his wide eyes full of unwillingness, but the heart's inability to beat also meant that he would no longer have a chance to live.

Thump.

Shi slumped to the ground, utterly still.

"Finally found you."

At the same time, the Fourth Raikage noticed the commotion and, with a flicker of movement, arrived at Shi's side.

But he only saw Mingyou's bloodied hand withdrawing from Shi's chest, his most capable subordinate having died so tragically.

"Damn it!"

The Fourth Raikage flew into a rage, his body erupting with lightning as he threw a punch at Mingyou's face with all his speed.

But alas, Mingyou possessed the same Chakra-enhanced cell activation ability as him. After leaping back, he once again vanished into the mist.

"Fifth Mizukage, this ninjutsu is Kirigakure's specialty. Quickly help me clear away this damned fog."

The Raikage roared, hoping to get Mei Terumi's help.

If things continued like this, more of his ninja would surely die.

These were all capable subordinates of the Raikage, and he didn't want to see them come to harm.

"I'm sorry, Raikage-sama, while the Hidden Mist Technique is something we at Kirigakure excel at, we have no way to dispel it."

Mei Terumi's voice echoed from afar, the answer not to the Raikage's liking.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

As expected, screams of agony began to ring out one after another.

Moreover, judging by the direction of the sounds, it seemed that Mingyou was changing direction after killing a few people, continuing his massacre without giving the Fourth Raikage a chance to catch him.

"Damn it!!"

The Fourth Raikage roared again in anger, but he knew that now was not the time to be angry; anger wouldn't solve the problem.

"Raikage-sama, this mist is formed from water vapor. You can have everyone use Fire Release ninjutsu to shoot into the sky, and that will dissipate the fog."

The secret agent Mabui suddenly flew to the Raikage's side and offered him this suggestion.

"Is that so?" The Raikage was delighted. After hearing Mabui's words, he also clearly felt the dampness in the mist, which was obviously water vapor.

"Everyone! Listen to my command! Ninjas who know Fire Release ninjutsu, release Fire Release ninjutsu into the sky!"

"Ninjas who know Wind Release ninjutsu, also release Wind Release ninjutsu into the sky along with them!"
