Chapter 403: No Title
Roar…!
The sorrowful roar of Sanbi resounded throughout Kirigakure.
All the fighting going on within the village suddenly stopped, some were panicked, some had joy and hope on their faces… while the others were skeptical…
The evacuating villages were the panicked ones, a Bijuu running amok on top of the ongoing civil war, this is the worst nightmare…
But compared to the ignorant villagers, the shinobi were not so panicked, they were calmer, they are aware of the fact that the Jinchuriki of Rokubi is not present in Kirigakure, so the only Jinchuriki currently present in the village is the Mizukage.
And everyone knows that the Mizukage is one of the few perfect Jinchuriki in the Shinobi World, as such he has perfect control over Sanbi, so there is no way he will lose control over the Bijuu even in the liberated state.
‘Has Mizukage-sama finally decided to make his move?’ – this thought resounded in the minds of many shinobi; Terumi Mei is one of these many.
Without any need for being reminded, Ao immediately looked in the direction from where the Roar came, and after carefully observing the situation with his Byakugan, he described to the shinobi around him, “There are several strong chakra reactions in that direction, aside from Mizukage-sama who has already liberated the Bijuu, there are five more potent Chakra reactions.”
An old man asked Ao with an extremely serious expression, “Ao-kun, can you be absolutely certain that Mizukage-sama is among them?”
“Byakugan wouldn’t deceive me, that is definitely Mizukage-sama’s chakra, and currently he seems to be covered in the Sanbi’s Chakra… the density of chakra around Mizukage-sama is so overwhelming that I am having difficulty in distinguishing other small chakra reactions… Moreover, it’s not just the violently overwhelming Chakra… for some reason, I am getting the vibe that Mizukage-sama is extremely angry over something…” – Ao said his conclusion.
The fact that Yondaime has to rely on the Bijuu sealed inside him already means that the four shinobi he is facing are giving him quite a hard time.
The old man who asked the question from Ao was a bit flustered now, ‘What sort of people can force the Mizukage in such a situation that he would have to rely on the Sanbi?’
Mei questioned with a frown, “Are those people any of the subordinates under Momochi Zabuza?”
Ao nodded, “Momochi Zabuza along with the Samehada is one of them, but I do not think that the other three are his subordinates.”
Mei continued, “If that is the case, do you recognize any of the other three?”
“I do recognize one of them… only he can have such monstrous chakra despite not being a Jinchuriki, it is Hoshigaki Kisame alright, as for the others, I am certain of their identities, but I can make some guesses for their identities.” – Ao said.
Mei asked, “And what are your guesses?”
“One of the other two seems to share a similar type of Chakra as that of extinct Kaguya Clan shinobi, as for the other one, I am not sure I have never seen that type of chakra… its color is blood red, but what’s strange is that the other one seems to possess a Dojutsu type Chakra…” – Ao said his guesses.
“A dojutsu type?” both Mei and the old man questioned at the same time, their brains were running at fast speed and trying to figure out who can that person be, after all, the numbers of Dojutsu possessing Clans are not so many in the shinobi world.
“So Hoshigaki Kisame, an unknown Kaguya Clan survivor and an unknown shinobi with an unknown dojutsu are also present around Mizukage-sama huh? Who is fighting whom?” – Mei asked again.
“The four of them seem to be confronting Mizukage-sama…” – Ao said with a serious expression.
“All four of them?” Mei’s expression changed upon hearing Ao’s words, ‘No wonder Mizukage-sama has been unable to quell the Coup d’état up until now, others are supporting this Coup too.’ now she has to consider whether to rush there in order to support the Mizukage or stay here and deal with these traitors.
The old man saw through Mei’s dilemma, and said, “I think we are more than enough to clean up things here, you and Ao-kun should go and support Mizukage-sama.”
This will also give them a chance to check on the condition of Mizukage, besides, even if something is wrong with him, Karatachi Yagura is still the current Mizukage, and therefore, his life is more important than anyone’s life in the village.
After listening to the old man’s words, Mei did not hesitate anymore and instructed the squad following her, “Go!”
With Mei’s order, the squad following her nodded, and under Mei’s lead, they rushed in the direction where Mizukage was fighting the four enemies.
…
On the Mizukage’s side.
Smash… Crack…
Accompanied by bone-cracking sounds, Takashi who was swept away by the turtle tails of Mizukage collided with a house and again broke a few more bones.
Getting out of the pile of rubble, he coughed violently, then wiped the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and said with an excited expression, “Never expected that Yondaime when using the power of Bijuu would be so strong… it makes my bones tingle in excitement… Come on… I am all up for it!”
The physique of Kaguya Clan shinobi is different when compared to others, as such bone injuries that may affect the combat power of normal shinobi are nothing for those of the Kaguya Clan. Moreover, those of the Kaguya Clan are generally the battle-hungry types, so fighting monsters such as the Mizukage obviously excites them.
Mageta said to the only person who was not focusing on the battle against the Mizukage, “What do you think you are doing Kisame? The two of us alone can not hold off the Mizukage!”
“Come on don’t be such a buzzkill, I was just getting myself a nice little sword here… since Zabuza is not up to the standards at being able to wield it I decided to take it for myself. With Samehada in hand, I think we will have quite a good chance of defeating Yondaime… don’t you think Samehada?” – Kisame said as he removed all the bandages wrapping Samehada.
Boom…
Mageta said nothing more, Samehada is known for devouring Chakra, and using it in the fight against the Mizukage who is a Jinchuriki would be advantageous.
As for what happened to Zabuza, well that guy is unable to wield Samehada anymore because the chakra of Kisame and Yagura is tastier for Samehada, as such, the sword betrayed Zabuza.
After leaving Zabuza, the sword was rushing towards Yagura to eat the Chakra of Sanbi, but midway, Kisame appeared and managed to tame the Samehada which did not surprise the people here.
Kisame is known as the Monster of Kirigakure, and Tailless Tailed Beast for a reason, Samehada in the hands of Kisame would really work well and now they can easily defeat a Jinchuriki.
Now, they have Takashi to hold off the Mizukage in terms of Taijutsu, while Kisame uses the Samehada to devour Sanbi’s chakra, and
And just when the three were planning to kill the Mizukage for good, Mageta suddenly said, “I don’t think we have the time to take care of the Mizukage anymore… many shinobi under the lead of the Kunoichi from the Terumi Clan are rushing here to support the Mizukage, I think it would be best if we retreat.”
Kisame and Takashi took a second to process Mageta’s words and instantly decided to retreat. After all, even if they are individually strong shinobi and have the ability to defeat everyone, fighting a battle of attrition without any substantial gain is pretty pointless, as such retreating right now, is the best option, else there is no telling what would be the consequences.
In the blink of an eye, Mageta, Kisame, and Takashi flashed away and disappeared from their position, but not before devouring a large part of Sanbi’s Chakra so as to stop the Yondaime from being able to chase them.
Zabuza has also fled upon realizing that with his current strength he stands no chance of defeating the Mizukage.
But how can Mizukage allow these four people to flee so easily? So, he obviously gave chase after the three new recruits of Akatsuki.
…
On the roof of an abandoned house in Kirigakure.
On the roof of this house, a large murder of crows gathered together from all the directions of the village and took the form of Itachi.
He had witnessed everything that happened in Kirigakure and is still doing so by using his crows.
After seeing everything that happened in Kirigakure, Itachi had quite a lot of thoughts running through his mind.
Whoosh…
At this moment, another figure appeared on the roof. Itachi did not need to look at this person to recognize his identity, this is because he knew it was none other than Uchiha Tsukihi.
After her fierce battle against Obito, Tsukihi left the Mizukage Building, and of course, she did not leave Hiramekarei behind.
Itachi observed the state of Tsukihi and asked, “Tsukihi-san, are you alright?”
Tsukihi nodded, “I am alright, just a bit tired after my battle against Tobi.”
Itachi nodded, and said, “And… did you manage to kill him?”
Tsukihi shook her head, “Unfortunately no, he might have realized that he had no chance of winning so he retreated.”
Itachi nodded and did not question anymore.
This time Tsukihi questioned, “So… what all happened in Kirigakure while I was fighting Tobi?”
Itachi nodded and started explaining all the events that happened in the village, after he was done, Tsukihi had a thoughtful look on her face, “That is to say, neither Terumi Mei nor Momochi Zabuza is suitable enough to be the next Mizukage… I suppose I will think about this a little bit more and then decide.” – After a pause here, she continued with a serious expression “However, it really concerns me that not only Hoshigaki Kisame, but two more shinobi with strength higher than that of an elite Jonin have joined the ranks of Akatsuki… A user of Shikotsumyaku, and a Ketsuryugan user… Day by day, Akatsuki is growing more and more frightening.”
Itachi can’t help but nod.
‘Is this the true meaning of the Butterfly effect?’ – Tsukihi can’t help but think.
