Two "Kage" Clash, Madara Uchiha?
He was certain that the person in front of him was most likely not Anbu of Kirigakure.
"Let me witness the power of the Six-Tails!" Rikuto, who had appeared there for some unknown reason, said with a smile.
But before Utakata could respond.
The next moment--
Rikuto moved with lightning speed, appearing directly in front of him in a Body Flicker Technique.
"What!?" Utakata's eyes widened in horror as he barely managed to react and immediately tried to retreat and create distance.
A pair of incomparably scarlet Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan bloomed there.
"That's..." Utakata, his nerves taut and instinctively retreating, suddenly gasped, his pupils shrinking as he exclaimed, "The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan?"
In an instant.
The dazzling Mangekyō pattern seemed to grow larger and larger, becoming increasingly eye-catching.
Suddenly, everything went black, and I was plunged into endless darkness.
"Roar--"
In an instant.
A gigantic monster.
They appeared deep in the forest.
Several enormous tails thrashed wildly.
"Boom... Boom..."
Smoke and dust billowed.
The earth shook violently, and the rumbling continued.
Rocks and vegetation flew everywhere.
That enormous, exaggeratedly large creature was mercilessly destroyed wherever it went.
The target was none Mei Terumi, Tsunade, and the others.
The terrifyingly violent Chakra aura caused Tsunade, Karin, Shizune, Ao, and the others, who were on the verge of exchanging blows, to all tense up.
They all looked over in unison. "That Chakra..."
"Oh no, the Six-Tails has gone berserk!"
Because their attention was focused on Tsunade and the others, they were completely unaware of what had just happened.
Sensing the immense and violent Chakra in the distance.
Qing was horrified and cried out in shock.
"What!?"
Soon--
The others present.
Their eyes narrowed in shock.
In the distance, by the light of the silvery moonlight, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen.
It charged straight towards their direction, crashing headlong into them.
Chapter 177 Clash of Two "Shadows", Madara Uchiha?
"Roar--"
The roar of the beasts shook the heavens.
Accompanied by strong wind pressure.
An incomparably violent aura poured forth.
A giant slug, with an exaggeratedly large body and a milky white color, kept waving its six tails, wildly slapping and destroying everything in its path.
Smoke and dust billowed, the earth was ravaged and ravaged, and the ground trembled violently.
An aura of Chakra so terrifying it was unbelievable.
It makes one shudder.
"This is... Tailed Beast?"
Gazing at the colossal creature hurtling towards them in the distance, Karin was filled with awe.
But at the end, she added with utter disdain, "So ugly!"
"Indeed, although both are Katsuyu, it's much uglier than Lady Katsuyu!"
Shizune nodded solemnly as she sized up the giant slug with its six tails.
In her opinion, the Katsuyu, which was entirely blue and had no tail, was more pleasing to the eye.
"Guys from Konoha, is this the time to be saying these things?"
Qing was there, gritting her teeth.
It was also filled with fear and unease.
We brought too few people from the village this time.
He was unsure whether Mei Terumi, the future Fifth Mizukage, could suppress the rampaging Six-Tails.
"Tsunade, if you're truly just passing by, then you may leave now..."
They saw the Six-Tails Jinchuriki go berserk for no reason.
Mei Shirai frowned, her gaze shifting between light and shadow.
She stared directly at Tsunade and said in a deep, unceremonious voice, "This is the Six-Tails from our village; it is our Kirigakure's responsibility to deal with it!"
"I doubt that Konoha would want to start a war."
After all, due to the long-standing Blood Mist Policy, the Land of Water remains closed off from the world.
As one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Kirigakure was busy cleaning up the mess left by the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, Yagura, and had no time or energy to deal with other matters.
There is currently no written alliance with any power.
In particular, even after the Third Shinobi World War, during the reign of the Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure still clashed with Konoha on several occasions.
Mei Terumi, brimming with confidence in her own abilities, believed she could handle the rampaging Six-Tails.
But what if the Sannin of Konoha were here?
However, this inevitably makes them hesitant, unable to act freely, and somewhat apprehensive.
Who knows if they'll take advantage of the situation?
This is Tailed Beast, a crucial strategic weapon for many nations!
Konoha is still known as the top of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
However, it lacks the power and magnanimity that the First Hokage displayed when distributing the Tailed Beast to various countries.
"That won't do..."
Watching the Six-Tails charging towards them from afar, Tsunade frowned.
Unfazed by Mei Terumi's seemingly unintentional warning, she calmly replied, "The town isn't far from here. If we let this guy run wild, innocent people might get hurt..."
"As a doctor, I can't just sit idly by!"
As Mei Terumi, Ao, and the others' expressions changed and their hearts sank to the bottom.
Tsunade suddenly changed the subject, pointing to the rampaging Six-Tails: "However, if you can suppress it and prevent it from affecting other towns..."
"I swear in the name of the Sannin that I will never interfere!"
Rikuto smiled slightly.
He naturally understood that Tsunade said this because she clearly did not believe that the opponent's strength alone was sufficient to deal with the rampaging Six-Tails.
After all, suppressing the out-of-control Six-Tails Jinchuriki without involving other innocent people or causing too many casualties is not an easy task.
In particular, it involves the Tailed Beast.
And it's in a place like the Land of Hot Water again.
If it drags on for too long, unnecessary complications may arise.
"Good!"
Mei Terumi's eyes narrowed.
She gazed intently at Tsunade, managing a weak smile, "We trust Tsunade Tsunade's reputation!"
"Don't worry, I'm not like you people from Kirigakure. I won't take advantage of someone's misfortune or kick them when they're down!" Tsunade mocked.
In the various Great Shinobi World War, Kirigakure) repeatedly broke its promises.
They broke the non-aggression pact signed with Konoha and openly dispatched Kirigakure ninja forces to launch a large-scale invasion and attack Konoha.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
"Hateful..."
"You bastard..."
Upon hearing this, Qing and the other Anbu from Kirigakure also heard it.
They were all filled with rage, some even indignant, glaring angrily at Tsunade.
"Hmph, since the establishment of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the countries have frequently engaged in diplomatic conflicts and constant attacks on each other. The grudges and grievances of the past are now too complicated to unravel..."
Mei Terumi gave a soft snort.
He was not angered by Tsunade's words.
He waved his hand to stop Qing and the others, who were getting quite angry, signaling them not to act impulsively.
She firmly believes that under her leadership, Kirigakure will be different from what it used to be.
"I've heard that your village's once formidable Uchiha Clan, on par with the Senju Clan, was wiped out two years ago by the missing-nin Uchiha Itachi?"
Mei Terumi took a deep breath.
He looked directly at Tsunade and asked in a deep voice.
Are you provoking me?
Tsunade frowned.
Clenching his fists, he stared at Mei Terumi with hostility.
Although she was extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the Konoha F4, led by the Third Hokage, and even loathed them to the extreme.
But ultimately, he still considers himself a member of Konoha.
Naturally, he wouldn't tolerate such open mockery.
"No, I'm not trying to provoke you, I just have some doubts!"
Mei Terumi shook her head.
She clenched her fists tightly and said bluntly, "Although it's a bit embarrassing, I might as well tell Tsunade... Our Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, has been manipulated by the Sharingan of the Uchiha Kirigakure all these years!"
"And the mastermind behind it all is none other than the man who was once on par with the First Hokage, known as 'Shura'— Madara Uchiha!"
"Lady Mei..."
Qing and the other members of the Kirigakure Anbu nearby changed color.
Although they knew about these things, they were, after all, secrets of Kirigakure.
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say it so openly?
"What!?"
"Madara Uchiha?"
It's not just Tsunade.
