One of his objectives was complete!
With a squelch, Takahashi Yū crushed the Third Mizukage's heart.
He pulled his killing intent claws out of the Mizukage's chest, extended one clawed finger, and sliced across his neck, taking his head off.
Takahashi Yū leaped onto the roof of a cylindrical house in two or three bounds, cleared his throat, and raised the Mizukage's head high, its face still bearing a look of disbelief.
"Look over here, you Kirigakure scum!"
"Your beloved Mizukage has been slain by Grandpa Takahashi!"
"Get on your knees and surrender! Whether I kill you depends on my mood!"
Takahashi Yū's voice echoed around the ruins of the Mizukage Building. Once he finished speaking, he turned the Mizukage's severed head in a full circle, displaying it like merchandise.
"Lord Mizukage!!"
"How is that possible!?"
Cries of disbelief rose from the Mist Ninja. Some simply gave up resisting, their kunai falling limply to the ground as they dropped to their knees and stayed there.
Others were utterly furious, their minds clouded by resentment as they stared red-eyed at Takahashi Yū holding the head.

Takahashi Yū roughly scanned the area. These ninja who still had the will to fight despite knowing the Mizukage was dead were either his diehard loyalists or Kirigakure's hardliners.

Takahashi Yū placed the Mizukage's severed head at the edge of the roof, keeping it on display before the Mist Ninja.
He flipped off the roof, his claws descending from above and plunging straight into the top of a ninja's head!
Squelch! Crack!
Takahashi Yū shook the mangled flesh off his claws with some distaste. Against these ordinary ninja, the claws seemed a little unnecessary...
*Weren't ordinary Mist Ninja supposed to
