Mist Concealment, All Move

BOOM!

A gale swept through, and the entire Mizukage's Office was pulverized by the water dragon in a display of overwhelming force, leaving it in a state of utter ruin!

Hyuga Kagami stood right beside the Mizukage's Office.

He hadn't even moved an inch.

The spray from the water dragon's collision and the howling wind whipped at Hyuga Kagami's robes and black hair.

His calm eyes flickered with a sharp glint!

It was as if... all of this had already been within his expectations!

"Is this... enough of a commotion now?"

Hyuga Kagami's lips curled upward. Unlike the Hokage's Office, there was a secret underground space beneath the Mizukage's Office where the Mizukage usually resided to conduct clandestine affairs.

Therefore...

With his lair gone, how could he not come out?!

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!

"Holy crap! The Mizukage's Office... the Mizukage's Office has been destroyed!"

"How could this happen? This is the Mizukage's Office!"

"It's over. Given Lord Mizukage's explosive temper... he will absolutely not let these two off!"

What was the Mizukage's Office?

It was the symbol of a ninja village, a symbol of its power, prestige, and strength!

Destroying the Mizukage's Office was nothing short of a provocation against the entire Mist Village. But what made their heads ache was... this hadn't been done by Hyuga Kagami, but by their own fellow villager, Koto Kenichi!

"Damn you! You deliberately goaded me into attacking the Mizukage's Office!"

Koto Kenichi's face turned green. He gritted his teeth, his expression filled with resentment and terror: "I'll kill you!"

"I'll kill you and beg for Lord Mizukage's mercy! Only by killing you can Lord Mizukage forgive me!"

The panic in his eyes was practically overflowing.

Lord Mizukage was too brutal.

Seeing something like this, he would surely vent his rage on someone without asking any questions!

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

He formed hand seals rapidly, his attacks coming down like a violent storm.

Wielding a kunai, he launched a frantic assault on Hyuga Kagami. He had lost all sense of strategy, but the advantage was that his wild, all-out offensive, abandoning all defense, was even more ferocious!

However, Hyuga Kagami remained calm, a faint smile playing on his lips.

No matter how swift Koto Kenichi's attacks were.

They couldn't even touch a single hair on his head.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Koto Kenichi roared, his face turning the color of liver: "What kind of skill is just dodging? Are all you Konoha ninja such cowards!"

The way Hyuga Kagami dodged before his eyes.

Made him look incredibly foolish!

The opponent seemed able to predict his attacks, ensuring that not a single blow landed on him!

Just then, the air suddenly turned frigid. A short, young boy with an incredibly terrifying aura stepped out from the ruins of the Mizukage's Office. His expression was gloomy, cold as a winter tiger!

"Who destroyed the Mizukage's Office!"

"Do you... want to die!"

Karatachi Yagura's expression was dark, his purple eyes filled with sinister gloom!

He looked coldly at Hyuga Kagami and Koto Kenichi.

As if he would erupt into a killing frenzy at any second!

"No, it wasn't me!"

Koto Kenichi panicked, his entire body trembling as he tried to explain: "It was all Hyuga Kagami! It was because of Hyuga Kagami that I accidentally attacked the Mizukage's Office!"

"Lord Mizukage, please, give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

He thought of the ninja who had made even the slightest mistakes in the past; their fates had been too gruesome to behold!

They hadn't even been left with a whole corpse!

Karatachi Yagura's face was grim: "So, in other words... it was indeed you who destroyed the Mizukage's Office, wasn't it!"

His expression was savage and frantic.

Terrifying Tailed Beast chakra began to condense wildly around him.

That tyrannical chakra made one's blood run cold!

It was as if facing a terrifying, ferocious beast!

Koto Kenichi's legs trembled, his face filled with despair.

BOOM!

A terrifying roar erupted!

Hyuga Kagami flicked his hand, and Koto Kenichi was sent flying backward like a curled-up shrimp!

He had no power to resist!

He was heavily wounded, spitting blood!

He was on the verge of death!

"Now that the main act has arrived, you're of no use. Don't get in the way here."

Hyuga Kagami chuckled, his expression indifferent.

It was as simple as swatting away a fly.

The surrounding ninjas' pupils constricted!

"He... he held back just now! He was just toying with Koto Kenichi the whole time!"

"What exactly is this Konoha ninja trying to do?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Everyone was bewildered.

They had all fought their way up from childhood among their peers; none of them were fools, and they vaguely felt an... ominous premonition!

Karatachi Yagura was no fool. His gaze was icy as he stared at Hyuga Kagami: "A fellow from the Hyuga Clan of Konoha, is it?"

"Even if you are a Konoha ninja, I will show no mercy for causing trouble in the Mist Village!"

His eyes were filled with brutality!

He looked like a beast that had lost its sanity!

Swish! Swish!

The sound of breaking air rang out!

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi arrived at his side with sharp, vigilant gazes, shielding Hyuga Kagami.

Hyuga Kagami's expression remained indifferent, his spine straight. A hint of a smile touched his White Eyes as he looked into the distance: "But you won't have that chance."

The moment his voice fell.

A series of sounds of breaking air came from afar!

It was the sound of rapid movement using the Body Flicker Technique!

At the same time, a sharp shout rang out: "All bystanders, evacuate immediately!"

"Lord Mizukage has important matters to attend to!"

"I repeat, all bystanders, evacuate immediately!"

In the distance.

Elder Gen's aged figure walked slowly forward, flanked by a dozen middle-aged men with imposing auras; they... were the leaders of other clans as well!

And beside them, countless Mist ninjas surged forth!

At this moment, the entire upper echelon of the Mist Village had gathered!

All the ninjas were shocked.

They watched this scene in disbelief.

"What on earth is happening? Elder Gen, it's Elder Gen! This lord has actually come out in person!"

"Is this Konoha ninja really that important?!"

"Could it be... that there is a secret we don't know about?"

For the sake of a single Konoha ninja.

The entire upper echelon of the Mist Village had been mobilized!

They swallowed hard, unable to believe it; this... was simply too outrageous!

What right did the opponent have to receive such treatment?

But they dared not ask, quickly retreating. In the Mist Village, an order was everything!

"Elder Gen! What are you doing here?"

Karatachi Yagura's face was gloomy, like a tyrant ready to fly into a rage at any moment.

"Are you... questioning my strength?"

"Get out of my sight immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Elder Gen shook his head, his aged, wrinkled face calm. "If the conflict between Mist Village and Konoha ninjas is handled improperly, it will plunge the two great ninja villages into war."

"I hope the Mizukage understands our concerns."

He slowly opened his clouded eyes, which held a power capable of persuading others.

"To offend the Mizukage is to offend Mist Village."

Elder Gen's voice was not loud.

Yet it was soul-shaking.

This was the power he had gained over the years; having seen everything, he naturally possessed a composed measure of things.

The Mizukage's expression turned grim as he stared fixedly at Elder Gen.

He looked like a lion that had been offended!

"Elder Gen! You are courting death!"

"I've long found you an eyesore; today, I'll finish you off once and for all!"
