However, the name 'Shadow' is not inherited casually!

[Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!]

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky.

A round mirror constructed of flowing water reappeared before him. The next moment, three illusions resembling Ara suddenly rushed out of the mirror, using the Leaf Style swordsmanship: Crescent Moon Dance!

"Clang!"

The ear-piercing clang of blades clashing erupted in an instant.

These illusions possess the same strength as the original body. Although it was only this one attack, it was enough to deal with too many surprise attacks and secret techniques!

But........

"Hmph, as expected, a puppet is just a puppet, even its eyesight is so weak."

A contemptuous taunt fell like a ghost on the ears of the young-looking Fourth Mizukage, while the blood-stained sword flashed with a cold light in the corner of his eye.

However, he was still focused on the surprise attack from the front and maintained the Water Mirror Technique, so he was unable to defend himself!

Of course, this explanation is just a smokescreen to mislead outsiders. Even if Yagura Karatachi were not under control, he would probably not be able to see through his [Body Flicker Technique] and [Mirror Flower, Water Moon!].

Hmm, if it's a tailed beast transformation, then that's a different story.

"Lord Mizukage, watch out behind you!!"

"That guy actually inherited Uchiha Shisui's abilities completely!"

A roar that trembled in the voice exploded, and the eyes of these Hidden Mist ninjas were all filled with rage.

Even Mei Terumi was trembling with fear here.

Is it really me who is being controlled by my thoughts?

at the same time,

Ara also truly appeared behind Yagura Karatachi:

"General."

However, what was pressed against the latter's shoulder and back was not a sword, but the boy's left hand covered with chakra energy.

"untie!"

He growled.

Chapter 208 If they can't stay in Konoha, Kirigakure is willing to accept the Uchiha.

【Bang! 】

As the heavy stick fell freely to the ground, all the sounds seemed to be reduced to a minimum.

This uniquely shaped weapon was the favorite weapon of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

However, it has now slipped from my grasp and fallen to the ground.

There are several common methods to break an illusion:

Firstly, use stronger illusions to cover and reflect illusions;

Secondly, disrupt the flow of chakra within the body to break the genjutsu; (Prerequisite: The person being targeted must be aware that they are trapped in a genjutsu.)

Thirdly, break it open with external force, using the same method as above.

Huang used the last method.

After injecting his own chakra energy, he immediately withdrew, because he did not want to be misunderstood by those covetous Kirigakure ninjas.

"Yakura-sama!"

"Mizukage-sama!"

"Yondaime-sama!!"

"........"

As Ara made his escape, several hurried figures broke through the Konoha ninja's lines without regard for anything else, approached Yagura's side, and then surrounded and protected him.

Because the current Mizukage is in a very bad state, extremely bad!

Of course, there was also the reason why General Nara Shikaku deliberately let it go.

Otherwise, the most brutal phase of this battle will inevitably erupt at this moment.

What have I actually done all these years?

Memories, gradually becoming clearer, surged forth in an instant:

'The secret within Uchiha Ara is the key to the revival of Kirigakure! Let's begin the all-out war!'

'Ha, you members of the Ninja Swordsmen, are you also choosing to defect?'

'They're just a mere Uchiha clan, yet they dare to dream of stopping the iron hooves of Kirigakure?'

'From this moment forward, the requirement for junior members of Kirigakure to become ninjas has been changed to: survive the battles among their peers! This is also for the sake of making Kirigakure stronger!!'

'.....'

"Oh? I remember you, you're the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure, aren't you?"

'Then, please do me a favor.'

In the flashback, three strangers dressed in black trench coats gradually emerge. The one in the lead wears a one-eyed mask, and the crimson pupils revealed are... Sharingan!!

That guy, that guy!

Suddenly, Yagura punched the tree trunk beside him, and with a crisp 'crack', the giant tree, which required two people to encircle, snapped in two at the point where his fist landed!

"Lord Mizukage, are you alright?"

Concerned cries were heard nearby.

However, at this moment, he, the one who symbolizes the power holder of Kirigakure, kept his face down and his lips tightly pursed.

He dared not face his subordinates' gaze, nor did he know how to respond to their concerns.

because,

This decades of tyranny, this bloodshed that has shrouded Kirigakure, this meaningless war—it was all started by ourselves!

In the Hidden Mist Ninja, Mei Terumi is still somewhat out of place in this situation.

She stood alone in a distant place, her turbulent eyes clearly understanding what was going on, yet she remained wary.

Previously, when the situation was chaotic and speculation was rampant, she needed to maintain her composure. Now, with changes occurring within Kirigakure, she needs to do so even more!

Although Konoha may appear righteous and has a good reputation among the five great ninja villages, it is still essentially a group of ninjas, a large mercenary group, not some benevolent people.

As the calls echoed, Yagura Karatachi slowly raised his face.

Although the mistakes made are irreversible and difficult to make amends, now is not the time for self-blame and regret.

This tragedy still needs him to clean it up.

These Hidden Mist ninjas who traveled with him to this foreign land still need him to take them home.

"Order: Cease fighting immediately and collect the remains of your comrades..."

Yagura, the voice of the manga artist, was filled with sorrow, and his originally clear voice became low and mournful as the words progressed.

"Let's go home."

When he finished speaking, he seemed to have aged and deteriorated by decades. Even his youthful "baby face" could not conceal the vicissitudes that poured out from his very bones.

Decades!

This period of darkness and chaos lasted for decades!

He truly didn't know how to face his subordinates who had always followed and trusted him, how to face those insightful people who were willing to instigate internal strife and bear the name of traitorous ninja in order to "wake him up," and even less how to console those Hidden Mist ninjas who died in foreign lands because of his tyranny!

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

A series of low growls rang out, and at the same time, the elite Mist Shadows standing on the perimeter vanished from their spots, disappearing in various directions.

The best news is that this war can be stopped and this pointless conflict can be ended.

Even before this news arrived, countless ninja positions had already been lost on both sides.

"I remember you are Nara Shikaku of the Nara clan, right?"

After giving the order, Yagura immediately looked at the middle-aged man who was also surrounded by Konoha elites.

He naturally wouldn't recklessly reveal things about the past, family scandals, or the entire incident of Kirigakure launching a full-scale war at this critical juncture.

Otherwise, even if he himself no longer cares about his reputation, the reputation of Kirigakure will inevitably suffer a further blow!

Such an outcome, such irony, is something they do not want to see: "The Hidden Mist Village, one of the five great ninja villages, is so easily manipulated and exploited by others."

Moreover, once such news spreads, it will not only have a serious negative impact on Kirigakure, but also on the entire Land of Water and all its residents, who will suffer from strange looks and ridicule.

"It is I, Lord Yagura."

Nara Shikaku responded in a deep voice. His face was very ugly at the moment, and the hideous scars that clung to it were the truest reflection of his heart.

Because, judging from the Fourth Mizukage's current state and the orders he issued, his suspicions have come true!

It really was a third-party force interfering, not only controlling the strongest person in the Land of Water, the Mizukage, for a long time, but also using the entire Hidden Mist Village as a pawn and starting a full-scale war with Konoha!

Faced with such a heinous event and such massive losses, even the most composed person would find it difficult to remain calm.

Of course, even under such preconditions and with a fairly accurate prediction, he remained on guard, just like Mei Terumi of Kirigakure.

After all, ninjas are best at deception.

Who knows what crazy things this 'Kage' standing at the pinnacle of ninja power in our field of vision might do when his emotions are running high?

You should know that this is a 'Shadow' capable of summoning Tailed Beasts with ease!!

"I will discuss the details of this matter with your Hokage after I return."

"Let's end this war here."

Yagura didn't say much.

Because he is in a really messy state of mind right now, he has so much to say, but he just can't bring himself to say it.
