Just as Goenji Hiruzen Sarutobi were discussing how to learn the Tailed Beast Sealing Technique at Gouen Temple, the Fourth Mizukage appeared beside a huge lake outside Kirigakure.
"Was that where the loud noise came from?"
With a childlike face, Yagura gazed at the tranquil lake and asked Fubuki Shiro behind him a question.
He was not in a good mood at the moment. He had just given orders to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to take advantage of Konoha's weakness and launch an attack to weaken Konoha 'Konoha strength.
Then they heard a huge commotion coming from the lake near Kirigakure, which seemed to be a sign of the Three-Tails' resurrection. He immediately led his team out, but found no trace of the Three-Tails.
Fubuki Shiro: "It seems someone really is planning to attack Kirigakure. I wonder why they lured us here."
Looking around, they didn't spot any enemies, and the sensory ninjas in the group also didn't sense any enemies.
According to Kirigakure's understanding of the Tailed Beast, it takes at least two years, or even several years, for Tailed Beast to revive after its death. Now that the Isobu, has been dead for less than a year, it is impossible for it to revive.
They had anticipated this when they arrived, knowing that someone was plotting against them. So, the Mizukage and a large group came to this lake to see who dared to attack Kirigakure.
Even now, as the war has just begun to accelerate and enters a period of relative calm, it's not something that can be provoked by just anyone.
Furthermore, given that Kirigakure is isolated overseas, other villages don't value its resources as much. At this time, the other four great Kirigakure villages should be recuperating and wouldn't have time to attack them.
However, they did not let their guard down.
Yagura's gaze suddenly turned to the lake, his crimson eyes instantly focusing. A figure wearing a white mask, dressed in black, holding a scythe with chains in his hand, and carrying a fan-like weapon on his back, slowly rose from the lake.
"I lured you out here just to test my current strength and see if I can fight the Mizukage."
Obito, wielding a scythe, stared at Karatachi Yagura and the numerous ninjas behind him, speaking calmly.
Madara Uchiha originally intended to wait until he was stronger before slowly implementing his plan, but Obito's strength has improved too quickly recently.
With the added power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito has grown stronger than he expected. And with Madara Uchiha nearing his end, he decided to have Obito act immediately.
Because Obito's improvement was so rapid, White Zetsu had already discovered that Kirigakure had sent out its strongest force, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Now, only the Mizukage was the strongest in Kirigakure, so they wanted to control the Mizukage to prepare for the future.
Originally, Obito, having received instruction from Madara Uchiha, planned to first go to Amegakure to deal with Nagato and other organizations before carrying out other plans.
After receiving intelligence that Kirigakure's fighting strength was depleted and that the Three-Tails was dead, he decided to take Kirigakure first and use the power of the Sharingan.
After such a long period of training, Obito experienced the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan and felt that dealing with a Mizukage, along with the empty army behind him, would be no problem.
The ninjas of Kirigakure became alert the moment they saw Obito. They hadn't been able to sense him before, but now he had suddenly risen from the lake, indicating that he was a formidable opponent.
Moreover, he appeared alone and seemed very confident.
Many ninjas began to pay attention to their surroundings, trying to detect the appearance of the enemy group, and were on high alert.
"Let's test our strength!"
Yagura chuckled lightly, his young face filled with disdain, as he slowly took the hooked stick from behind him and his expression gradually turned serious.
He could sense that the enemy before him was a very troublesome fellow.
Whoosh--!
With a single glance, the two figures collided instantly in the center of the lake, causing the vast lake surface to shatter as the scythe and Coral Rod struck each other with a clanging sound.
Seeing this, the other ninjas also took action.
They all formed Hand Seals to support the Mizukage.
"Your opponent is me."
Another voice rang out, accompanied by a massive Fire Release and a slowly rotating Sharingan. When they looked in the direction of the voice, they saw the other person's Sharingan.
Another Obito appeared behind them.
"Be careful, it's the Sharingan of the Uchiha." Fubuki Shiro was shocked. This eye reminded him of Goenji and Shisui Uchiha, those two geniuses of the Uchiha.
Could this person be one of them?
After dispelling the Genjutsu, he instantly unleashed his Ice Release technique, "Legend of the Hungry Wolf," to eliminate the enemy's Fire Release for his teammates.
Aww~
A tremendous wolf howl rose from the ground, and the lake instantly froze over. Countless snowflakes rose up, transforming into wolf shapes, and roared at Obito.
The fusion of Fire Release and Snow Wolf even overwhelmed Fire Release, but after destroying the opponent's Fire Release, all I saw was a disdainful look in their eyes.
The void twisted.
The snow wolf suddenly turned and ran, attacking the other ninjas from Kirigakure who were unleashing their Ninjutsu, appearing even more ferocious.
"What?"
Fubuki Shiro and the Kirigakure ninjas were all stunned.
What kind of Ninjutsu is this?
Clang--!
Obito and Yagura clashed weapons. A large amount of coral appeared from Obito's scythe, attempting to completely cover the opponent's weapon. With a 'whoosh,' Obito grabbed the chain of the scythe, and the Gunbai behind him fell into his hand. With a wave of his hand, all the coral was sent flying, and the scythe remained completely undamaged.
Yagura heard the commotion behind him and witnessed Fubuki Shiro's Ninjutsu being turned against him; his eyes widened in surprise.
"Sharingan, this Gunbai and scythe... you're from the Uchiha..."
Yagura's face turned serious. According to his intelligence, these were all Uchiha items, and the Gunbai and scythe shouldn't have appeared in the Uchiha for a long time.
There's also that rebound Ninjutsu, which is similar to his Water Release: Clear Mirror Still Shisui ability, and it seems that the limitations of the rebound are still uncertain.
If this continues, the opponent's clones might be able to wipe out his troops.
Such strength...
We can't let this drag on.
"Hmm, do you still have time to worry about others? As expected of the Mizukage, you have some ability. However, in the face of my Sharingan, you'll work for me from now on."
Obito was extremely confident, his Mangekyō Sharingan slowly rotating.
Yagura recognized his ability, which didn't surprise him at all; someone who could become the Mizukage must have some skill.
Boom--!
Just then, two Water Dragon Bullet rose from the lake, their dragon heads radiating anger, indicating they had exerted considerable power.
"The Jia Yu's Realm"
With Obito unleashed two massive Water Dragon Bullet and a distorted mirror. The water dragons that were attacking him immediately broke free from Yagura's control and attacked Yagura instead.
