The Hidden Mist Rebellion (Part 2)

"Qing, you must awaken Mizukage!"

Terumi Mei was anxious, so she used the Hidden Mist Technique to create a thick fog and buy time.

The fog was thick. Uchiha Zensui pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands together in the Snake Seal. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Uchiha Zensui dared not use his Wood Release or Sharingan.

However, secretly absorbing the dense fog 'Chakra using the Wood Release tree in this remote area should be fine.

"Knowing that the Hidden Mist Technique is useless, Terumi Mei is nothing more than... no, the Mizukage!"

Uchiha Zensui's playful intentions were suddenly jolted back to reality. He realized he had been away from the Mizukage for too long, and if someone were to break the Mizukage's Genjutsu, the trouble would be truly dire.

Sharingan!

Thinking this, Chakra Uchiha Zensui his chakra in his eyes, activated his Sharingan, and extended his right hand. A ball of lightning formed in his palm, and the lightning changed shape, transforming into a three-meter-long Lightning Blade.

Uchiha Zensui Lightning Blade forward and to the left and right, clearing a path as he rushed towards the Mizukage Building.

After running for a long time, Uchiha Zensui broke through the range of the Hidden Mist Technique. The thick fog that had previously made it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face became thinner, and one could see the environment within ten meters.

What Zensui saw was a dozen or so ninjas wearing Kirigakure Ninja vests, gathered in pairs, talking amongst themselves.

"Jonin Terumi Mei has conspired with Konoha Ninja to assassinate the Mizukage and launch a rebellion. Follow me!"

Wearing Hidden Mist Anbu mask, Uchiha Zensui shouted loudly and ran towards the Mizukage Building.

"Terumi Mei? Ao? No way..."

"The Kirigakure treated them well, why did they do this to us!"

The Kirigakure Ninja who were originally scouting the area stopped their whispering and turned to question Uchiha Zensui when they heard the Anbu Ninja shouting.

"They must be captured and tortured to find out who's behind this!"

Uchiha Zensui, then quickly headed towards the Mizukage Building. Many Uchiha Zensui Kirigakure Ninja suit without hesitation.

Among the dozen or so Kirigakure Ninja following Uchiha Zensui, two exchanged a glance. They slowed their pace, gradually closing in on their companion, and whispered:

"Did you see that eye in the Anbu? It looks like Sharingan."

"You noticed it too? If I'm not mistaken, it really is the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan from Konoha..."

Both of them had fought against the Uchiha Clan in the Third Shinobi World War. After exchanging a few words, they nodded solemnly.

Originally, the two were at the back of the group, but they slowly accelerated past the others and approached Uchiha Zensui.

Terumi Mei had been keeping a close eye on the surrounding area. Noticing that Uchiha Zensui had emerged from the thick fog, she quickly followed him. Seeing that he was followed by many Kirigakure Ninja Uchiha Zensui, she shouted loudly:

"That person is Konoha spy! Be careful!"

Terumi Mei's shouts startled the ninjas behind Uchiha Zensui. The group turned around and saw that it was indeed Terumi Mei, the Hidden Mist missing-nin the Hidden Mist Anbu had just mentioned.

"Terumi Mei?"

Upon seeing Terumi Mei, the five Kirigakure Ninja behind Uchiha Zensui quickly turned around and rushed towards her.

Terumi Mei saw that her warning had worked; several Kirigakure Ninja sensed something was wrong and turned to move closer to her. However, Terumi Mei didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Body Flicker Slash!"

The five ninjas rushing towards Terumi Mei vanished after the first Hidden Mist Jonin nearly twenty meters away, unleashing a fierce horizontal slash.

Terumi Mei performed a backflip and bent over, narrowly avoiding the attack. After bending over and bracing herself with her hands, she propelled herself into the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than ten Kunai were thrust into the spot Terumi Mei had just been standing, Kunai penetrating three-tenths of an inch into the ground, clearly showing that no one was holding back.

"Traitor! Wind Style: Wind Cutter Technique!"

After a Kirigakure Ninja shouted at Terumi Mei, he quickly Hand Seals, stretched his hands forward and then separated them, creating a gust of wind mixed with a wind blade several meters long that slashed towards Terumi Mei in the air.

This Ninjutsu demonstrates that this Kirigakure Ninja is a highly skilled Wind Release Ninjutsu user.

After dodging the previous slashes, Terumi Mei realized the danger and raised her guard to the highest level, forming hand Hand Seals in mid-air.

Puff!

Terumi Mei was struck by a wind blade in mid-air, splitting in two from the waist. Struck by the Ninjutsu Terumi Mei's eyes were glazed over, but she did not utter a sound of pain. Her two halves turned into water and fell to the ground.

Among the five members of the Kirigakure Ninja team, one had his eyes closed and his hands in Hand Seals position, suggesting he was a sensory ninja.

"The traitor is twenty meters to the southeast!"

The sensory ninja quickly located Terumi Mei's location, loudly announced it, and then the group Terumi Mei after her.

During his escape, Uchiha Zensui noticed shouts behind him. He turned around and saw the spectacular scene of Terumi Mei being sliced in half in mid-air. He couldn't help but laugh out loud from under his mask.

Pfft!

"You!?"

Before Uchiha Zensui could even enjoy his triumph for two seconds, he was stabbed through the arm. If Uchiha Zensui hadn't reacted quickly and dodged, the stab would probably have pierced his heart.

"Sharingan, I would never mistake you for someone else, you're Konoha spy!"

The Kirigakure Ninja successfully assassinated Uchiha Zensui spoke coldly, twisting the hilt of his sword around Uchiha Zensui's arm before slashing downwards, rendering Uchiha Zensui's right arm essentially immobile, dangling from his shoulder.

The seven Kirigakure Ninja behind Uchiha Zensui, and the others who witnessed this scene were all horrified.

"Are you crazy?! You dare attack the Mizukage's Anbu guards?!"

One of the Kirigakure Ninja was incredibly fast, kicking the ninja who had attempted to assassinate Uchiha Zensui flying.

Caught off guard, the Kirigakure Ninja was assassinating Uchiha Zensui was kicked in the side, flying several meters and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it! This guy is Konoha spy! Not some Anbu! Don't fall for it!"

Another accomplice of the assassin shouted loudly.

"Ha?"

"What?"

"Who is the spy!?"

The ninjas looked at each other upon hearing the shout, then quickly separated and kept their distance.

The ninjas drew their weapons, watching their former comrades warily.

They didn't know who this supposed spy was.

"This Anbu is a spy! An idiot!"

The Kirigakure Ninja had been kicked away and landed on the ground, pointed at Uchiha Zensui and shouted at him.

Uchiha Zensui took out a small bottle of hemostatic ointment, squeezed out the ointment, and applied it to his right arm, while secretly harboring resentment.

"Are you also a henchman of Terumi Mei?! What did the Fourth Mizukage ever do to you that you would plot to assassinate Mizukage?!"

While applying the hemostatic ointment, Uchiha Zensui scolded her. After finishing applying the ointment, he took out a medical bandage and wrapped it around his own arm.

"What a clumsy disguise! Your eyes are the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan of Konoha! I fought against the Uchiha clan on the battlefield during the Third Shinobi World War!"

"I never imagined that the prestigious Uchiha Clan would stoop to such despicable acts!"

The Kirigakure Ninja attempted to Uchiha Zensui stood up, gripping his Ninja Sword, and slowly approached Uchiha Zensui.

As he finished speaking, the others also noticed Uchiha Zensui's eyes, which were a sinister, scarlet red.

"Heh heh, now that you know I'm Uchiha ninja, you still dare to look me in the eye..."

Uchiha Zensui's eyes grew increasingly eerie and crimson as he let out a sinister laugh. Taking advantage of their gaze upon his eyes, he concentrated his Chakra and activated his Sharingan Genjutsu.

Pfft! Sizzle! Pfft! Sizzle!

With Kunai, Uchiha Zensui moved swiftly, slicing the necks of four Kirigakure Ninja with fluid grace. The other three, in the short time it took Uchiha Zensui to act, broke through the Genjutsu and fearlessly charged towards him.
