At this point, Uchiha Yu dared not let his guard down in the slightest.
He had come to the Kirigakure camp to dispel the genjutsu on Karatachi Yagura, not to throw his life away.
He and Uchiha Itachi swiftly untied the ropes binding them, then each kicked one of the two ninja, sending them flying.
The two flew several meters backward and slammed straight into the tent's entrance.
With a crash, the entrance shattered, and both men slammed heavily into the ground.
Mei Terumi and her squad instantly leaped to the brothers' side, looking at Karatachi Yagura inside the tent.
Karatachi Yagura stood watching them, dressed in Hokage robes and a Hokage cloak, with a staff-like weapon adorned with greenery on his back.
"What are you trying to do?" Karatachi Yagura reached back and drew his weapon. "You've betrayed the village!" he said to Mei Terumi.
Mei Terumi drew a kunai and pointed it at Karatachi Yagura. "Lord Mizukage, we suspect you're under the control of a genjutsu! For your safety and the village's, forgive what we're about to do!"
Uchiha Yu and Uchiha Itachi activated their Mangekyō Sharingan, ready to dispel the genjutsu on Karatachi Yagura.
Suddenly, both of them froze.
Karatachi Yagura's Hokage cloak completely concealed most of his face, leaving only his slightly pale chin visible.
But Sharingan genjutsu required eye contact with the target.
Not good! Uchiha Yu's heart sank.
In those few short seconds, Karatachi Yagura had already put his guard up. He leaped sharply backward while forming hand seals, preparing to attack the ninja before him with ninjutsu.
Chōjūrō hurriedly swung the twin sword Hiramekarei, hoping to restrain Karatachi Yagura. But as he rushed up to him, Karatachi Yagura simply stopped forming hand seals, drew the staff from his back, and struck Chōjūrō hard
