Chapter 252 Tsunade's Anxiety (Third and Fourth Updates)

Kitazawa saw the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, in the moonlight.

Just like in the original work, she has a baby face and looks like a teenager.

In fact, he is very old; even his grandson, Kagura, has already been born.

Kitazawa's first reaction was that there was a traitor in Konoha.

Their mission to raid the Hidden Mist Village stronghold was top secret.

Theoretically, only Tsunade and Shikaku Nara, the Jonin who attended the meeting, knew about it.

These Jonin are the pillars of Konoha Village; they would never betray it.

That leaves only three ninja squads composed of members of the Hyuga clan and the Anbu, tasked with carrying out missions deep behind enemy lines.

The branch families of the Hyuga clan all have the image of a caged bird carved on their walls, making them impossible to turn against their own side.

However, there is a certain probability of it occurring in ANBU ninjas.

Kitazawa thought of Shimura Danzo.

After the Root was disbanded, many Root ninjas joined the Anbu.

They continued to obey Danzo Shimura's orders.

Danzo Shimura's goal was to become Hokage, and he would never allow Tsunade to win big in this war.

If Kitazawa's raid fails, it will cause considerable losses to Konoha.

And he was Tsunade's student.

This will undoubtedly have a direct impact on Tsunade's reputation.

"You're Kitazawa?"

Yagura's gaze fell on Kitazawa.

"It seems I'm quite famous, that the Mizukage himself came to ambush me."

Kitazawa said without changing his expression.

While the Byakugan is very useful for reconnaissance and perception, it is not invincible.

Yagura and the others hid in the deep sea and somehow managed to escape the Byakugan.

"You were just incidental."

Yagura, seemingly unconcerned, said, "Our real purpose is to use you to ambush Tsunade."

How did you know my location?

Kitazawa was startled and asked.

Yagura's words prove one thing.

Kirigakure came specifically for him and Tsunade.

This also confirmed his suspicion that the traitors were mostly Danzo Shimura and his former Root members.

You will face the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who is far more powerful than you. Risk is opportunity; survive.

[Current Mission: Hold out until Tsunade and the others arrive.]

[Mission Reward: Mangekyou Sharingan Resistance]

【Whether to accept? 】

Kitazawa was stunned as he stared at the four lines of text that suddenly appeared.

Will the task be triggered at this time?

However, he is the Fourth Mizukage after all, so it's normal for him to trigger a mission.

But what is the resistance of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
Could it be that it can resist the control of the Mangekyou Sharingan?

It's no wonder Kitazawa thinks that way.

Because the person in front of us, Yagura Karatachi, is being controlled by Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Since he initiated the mission, it's reasonable that it's related to him.

If that's the case, then the reward for this task is quite good.

Although there aren't many ninjas with the Mangekyou Sharingan, the three major villains happen to have it.

Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and Danzo Shimura.

Of course, the more generous the reward, the higher the difficulty.

If Yagura Karatachi were just a simple Water Release ninja, Kitazawa wouldn't be under much pressure.

But if we add a Three-Tails Jinchuriki, that would be a huge problem.

You don't need to know that much.

Yagura casually tossed a signal flare.

The ninjas from Kirigakure on the nearby island all ran towards this side.

"Dou, we'll cover your breakout."

Kitazawa said without hesitation.

With the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and so many Jonin from Kirigakure around, it would be a pipe dream for them to leave together.

The best course of action would be to send someone to break through the encirclement and rush back to the Konoha Village headquarters to report the news.

There are many reasons why the pharmacist was sent.

First, he is smart enough and has a wealth of experience.

Secondly, he is a Wind Release ninja, so he can run fast.

Third, he is skilled in medical ninjutsu, which allows him to survive in chaotic situations.

"wishful thinking!"

The middle-aged ninja next to Yagura sneered and said, "With the Mizukage here, none of you will escape!"

Kabuto didn't even glance at him before turning and running away.

"Stop!"

The middle-aged ninja used a Body Flicker Technique to catch up.

But at that moment, the sea surface became turbulent, and countless waves began to churn.

A giant wave, over ten meters high, rushed towards the middle-aged ninja and the other Hidden Mist Village ninjas.

In an instant, as if the end of the world had arrived, their faces showed shock.

Although they had all read the information and knew that Kitazawa was skilled in water-style techniques, seeing it with their own eyes was the only way to understand that the information was not exaggerated.

"It's rare for Konoha to have a Water Release ninja like you."

Yagura, without changing his expression, formed hand seals.

Water Release: Mirror Still Water!

A huge water mirror blocked their way.

When the waves crash against it, they shudder violently, and then, contrary to common sense, they roll back.

However, the waves were too wide, and only a portion of them rebounded.

Strange power!

Kitazawa clenched his fist and punched out.

The swirling wave split in two, centered on his fist.

Hyuga Himon and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this first encounter made them realize that no ninja who could become a Kage was given a name for nothing.

Fortunately, after this delay, Kabuto Yakushi had already disappeared into the distance.

"You four go after them!"

The middle-aged ninja quickly ordered one special Jonin and three Chunin.

"Take them down before Tsunade arrives!"

Yagura glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and said.

His plan was simple: capture Kitazawa and use him to threaten Tsunade.

If they can take this opportunity to eliminate Tsunade, then victory for Kirigakure is just around the corner.

Secret Technique: Poison Dust Technique!

The oil woman clapped her hands, and a large number of phosphorus-damaged insects flew out.

"careful!"

A Jonin from Kirigakure warned, "This isn't smoke, it's a highly poisonous insect."

The other Kirigakure ninjas, except for Yagura Karatachi, all fled to either side.

Coral Stick Four-Hit Combo!

Yagura dodged the poisonous insects in a flash and arrived in front of Kitazawa.

He swung the coral stick in his hand repeatedly.

A bang!
Kitazawa blocked his coral staff with lightning in his hand.

Lightning Release: Supersonic Lightning Blade!

With Kitazawa's lightning chakra infused into it, the lightning trembled violently, deflecting Yagura's coral staff.

He slightly raised his right hand, and a blade of fire flew out.

Water Release: Iron Cannon Bullet!
Yagura leaned back slightly and spat out a large water ball.

The giant water sphere extinguished the fiery blades, but its momentum remained as it continued its march towards Kitazawa.

At the same time, Yagura Karatachi took a step forward and swung his coral staff four times in a row in one second.

A series of ear-piercing whistling sounds rang out.

One can imagine how painful it would be to be hit by such a stick.

Lightning Release: Chidori!

Kitazawa gathered a large amount of lightning in his left hand.

The sound, like the chirping of a thousand birds, then spread out.

Lightning Release: Chidori sliced ​​through the giant water sphere, and Kitazawa turned his right hand, using lightning to block the coral staff.

Then, his left hand suddenly accelerated and stabbed into Yagura's heart.

Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!

Yagura released the coral staff and stepped back.

A giant water mirror appeared.

Brilliant lightning burst forth.

Then, another Kitazawa emerged from the water mirror.

Upon seeing Kitazawa, he immediately swung his left hand.

Two Lightning Release: Chidori attacks emitted a sharp noise, and lightning and thunder spread rapidly through the air.

Leaf Village Whirlwind!
Kitazawa turned his body and kicked Kitazawa in front of him away.

The Kitazawa trembled in mid-air and turned into a puddle of water.

He was created by Yagura's Water Release: Water Mirror Technique.

"Your skills are indeed quite good."

Yagura Karatachi stood there looking at Kitazawa and said, "No wonder he was able to kill the pufferfish demon."

The coral rod he abandoned had sunk to the bottom of the sea, but he didn't bother to retrieve it.

Kitazawa took the opportunity to glance around.

Hinata Himon, Yuhi Kurenai, and the others are in a terrible situation.

Considering their plan to raid the Hidden Mist Village's stronghold, they brought five Jonin with them this time.

Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi are both Jonin.

The Hyuga Volcano Squad has three Jonin.

Now that Kabuto has left, apart from Kitazawa, there are only three Jonin left.

On the other hand, Kirigakure has six Jonin besides Yagura Karatachi.

Fortunately, Kurenai Yuhi and Torune Aburame are both very strong, being special Jonin, which is why they were able to maintain the situation.

"Your team is quite strong too."

Yagura noticed Kitazawa's actions, chuckled, and said.

Kitazawa frowned.

He didn't understand why Yagura suddenly started chatting with him.

"But I don't have much time left, and I can't waste it on you."

Yagura's expression immediately turned serious.

boom!
A terrifying aura surged into the sky.

Centered around Yagura, the sea surface churned incessantly, as if some monster was about to be released.

The next second, red chakra surged from his body, forming a hurricane around him.

After the hurricane passed, the sea was no longer calm.

"what?"

Hyuga Himon glanced over instinctively and exclaimed in surprise, "The Fourth Mizukage is a Jinchūriki?"

Kurenai Yuhi's breath hitched.

Even from hundreds of meters away, she could still feel that terrifying chakra.

A look of worry immediately appeared on her face.

But no matter how worried she was, there was nothing she could do to help Kitazawa.

Because they were already having a very difficult time dealing with these six Kirigakure Jonin.

"If you surrender now, you can join Kirigakure after I kill Tsunade." Yagura's voice was filled with boundless authority.

He was now draped in the red tailed beast cloak, with three enormous tails standing upright in the air, exuding an immense sense of oppression.

This is a partial tailed beast transformation.

Kitazawa instinctively wanted to use the Thousand Hands Chakra Mode, but he stopped himself from doing so.

Four minutes was not enough for Konoha Village's reinforcements to arrive.

Kitazawa wasn't actually worried about himself.

He possesses the Water Release: Water Transformation technique, allowing him to move freely in the ocean, like a fish in water, able to escape at will.

But Kurenai and her group couldn't do that.

Kitazawa took a deep breath.

The battle with Yagura Karatachi will be his most difficult one yet.

However, he did not feel any fear.

After all, he has cheat codes and his strength has reached a certain level.

This battle, on the contrary, is an opportunity for him to test the limits of his strength.

With such generous rewards, I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

"I don't know what to do!"

Seeing that Kitazawa remained unmoved, Yagura immediately launched an attack.

He wasn't lying when he said he wanted Kitazawa to join Kirigakure.

After all, Kitazawa's Water Release technique aroused his appreciation for talent, and Tsunade's student joining Kirigakure was undoubtedly an insult to Konoha.

Water Release: Iron Cannon Bullet!
Yagura opened his mouth and spat out a large water ball.

This Water Release: Iron Cannonball was ten times larger than the previous Water Release: Iron Cannonball.

It's called a giant water sphere, but it actually looks more like a sun made of water.

Composite Ninja Art: Flaming Wind Chaos!

Kitazawa immediately formed a hand seal.

Chakra transformed into flames and spewed from his mouth.

Once it appeared in the air, it burst into flames, creating a sea of ​​fire.

As soon as it touched the sea surface, water vapor filled the sky.

A scorching heat rose up.

Almost at the same time, a highly compressed vortex exploded in the sea of ​​fire.

The wind howled.

The sea of ​​fire, carried by the wind, transformed into a fiery storm sweeping across the heavens and earth amidst the mist.

The large water sphere from Yagura was submerged and immediately exploded.

The shockwaves spread outwards in concentric circles.

The sea surface churned, creating waves.

Yagura, the tachibana man, raised an eyebrow.

The power of this combined ninjutsu, Flame Wind Chaos Wave, far exceeded his expectations.

"If you are allowed to grow up, you will surely become a major threat to Kirigakure!"

Looking at the sea of ​​fire, Yagura Kojiki stomped his feet down.

Water Release: Isobu Great Waterfall!

Centered on him, the seawater surged up, transforming into a massive, impactful wave.

The sea of ​​fire created by the Composite Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos was extinguished in less than three seconds.

Yagura looked around and couldn't help but frown.

Because he didn't see Kitazawa.

Just then, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the sea where he was standing, grabbed his ankles, and dragged him to the seabed.

Yagura looked down and saw Kitazawa.

Without hesitation, he threw out both fists.

Kitazawa released his legs and opened his mouth, spitting out four water needles that looked like senbon needles.

The water needle pierced Yagura's tailed beast cloak.

Yagura's pupils contracted, and he quickly withdrew his fist, holding it in front of him.

A stinging pain came.

Four water needles struck the same spot, and in a relay fashion, they pierced through his tailed beast cloak and stabbed into his arm.

But only there.

Yagura jumped backward.

He shook off the IV needle from his arm, and seeing the overflowing blood beads, his face immediately turned extremely pale.

Although Kitazawa was already famous, in his heart he was always a rising star, a junior.

He never expected that he would still be injured even after transforming into a half-tailed beast.

Yagura leaped into the water and disappeared.

He quickly found Kitazawa, who was still in the water. Three tails wrapped around him, and he crashed into Kitazawa like a giant turtle.

Wherever it passed, the waves roared and crashed.

Water escape·instant water!

Kitazawa accelerated and quickly moved away.

He leaped out of the sea and stood in mid-air, his hands forming a mudra.

The sea exploded.

Yagura, with its three tails, flew towards him like a cannonball.

Water Escape: Great Waterfall Technique!

Kitazawa formed hand seals and tilted his head back, spitting out a large water ball.

Yagura Karatachi neither dodged nor evaded, but instead his chakra surged, making his tailed beast cloak appear even thicker.

Boom!
The giant water balloon burst open like a balloon.

Countless streams of water cascaded over him.

Yagura looked at Kitazawa not far away and immediately raised his palm.

Coral Palm!
He struck out with his palm.

Because of the excessive chakra, gusts of wind appeared around his arms.

While forcibly remaining airborne, Kitazawa unleashed his Thunderbolt.

He raised the thunderbolt.

In an instant, countless dazzling bolts of lightning appeared above his head.

Bolts of lightning struck down one after another.

Yagura's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, his body and the surrounding area were filled with the water scattered by the Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

The lightning struck the water, accelerating rapidly and engulfing him in an instant.

A deafening roar of thunder erupted.

Despite being protected by the Tailed Beast Cloak, Yagura Karatachi's defenses were still breached by too much lightning.

He let out a muffled groan, his body tingling with a numbing sensation, and he fell uncontrollably downwards.

Lightning Release: Chidori!

Seeing this, Kitazawa pressed his advantage without hesitation.

In a flash, he plunged his right hand into Yagura's heart.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

Yagura's three enormous tails lashed out at him.

In that critical moment, Kitazawa's mastery of one-handed hand seals proved invaluable.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
He formed a mudra with his left hand, and a stream of water rose up around him.

Kitazawa struck Yagura in the heart, and his three tails slammed into the water walls on either side of him like dragon tails.

With a crack, the water wall shattered.

A gust of evil wind came.

Konoha Body Flicker Technique!
Kitazawa narrowly escaped death, transforming into a leaf and disappearing from the spot.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"

Yagura screamed in agony and roared.

Because of his underestimation, he was injured by Kitazawa's combination of Water Release and Lightning Release techniques.

Blood gushed from his wound, soaking his clothes.

But his injuries were not as serious as they appeared.

The reason is that the tailed beast cloak on his body mitigated some of the damage.

Moreover, the Three-Tails' chakra was rapidly healing his wounds.

"Lord Mizukage is injured?"

"How can this be?"

Is Kitazawa really that amazing?

Even so, Yagura's screams still shocked the other Hidden Mist Village ninjas.

In contrast, Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Hidetoshi were excited.

Their only hope was that Kitazawa could hold off Yagura while Konoha Village came to their rescue.

Kitazawa has now exceeded expectations in completing the task, which has greatly boosted their confidence.

……

Konoha Village Headquarters.

Even though it was already night, Tsunade still didn't go to sleep.

On one hand, she had to guard against the Hidden Mist Village's counterattack, and on the other hand, she had to wait for news from Kitazawa and the others.

She couldn't sleep peacefully until they came back.

"Tsunade-sama."

Nara Shikaku suggested, "We can keep watch here, you should go and rest."

"Need not."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

She possesses a Yin seal, allowing her to adjust her physical condition at any time.

Theoretically speaking, as long as her chakra isn't depleted, she won't feel tired.

"Yakushi Kabuto came back alone!"

Just then, Hiashi Hyuga rushed in.

"What do you mean?"

Tsunade's expression immediately changed.

"I don't know the situation."

Hiashi Hyuga said solemnly, "He will be at the camp soon."

"Come out with me!"

Tsunade quickly left the main tent and headed towards Kabuto Yakushi.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Kabuto saw her from afar and shouted, "We've fallen into a trap! The Fourth Mizukage is in that stronghold!"

"what?"

Tsunade froze, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"After we arrived at that base, the Fourth Mizukage surrounded us with three Jonin!"

As Yakushi approached, he said quickly and urgently, "Adding to the original four Jonin, there are a total of eight Jonin!"

Tsunade immediately felt her heart being squeezed, making it hard for her to breathe.

The image of Kitazawa covered in blood involuntarily flashed into her mind.

In her opinion, Kitazawa was powerful, but he was definitely no match for Yagura Karatachi, not to mention that he was outnumbered.

With that thought in mind, Tsunade leaped into the air and disappeared from the spot at an incredible speed.

"Tsunade-sama?!"

Shizune's eyes widened, her face showing anxiety.

Because only she knew that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia, her going alone would only cause trouble.

"Senior Shikaku, I'll leave this place to you for now."

After Shizune finished speaking, she quickly shouted, "All the Anbu, follow me!"

"Chief Rizu, you will also lead a team."

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the Fourth Mizukage has appeared, we should prepare for the worst."

Hinata nodded.

 Five thousand words, two chapters combined into one, two chapters totaling ten thousand words.
