It must be said that Madara Uchiha, as the legendary figure he was, still left behind such troublesome contingencies even though he had been dead for several years.
In a way, Madara Uchiha had learned his lesson. Before his final battle with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, at the Valley of the End, he was a god of war, and no one except Hashirama Senju could catch his eye.
He's incredibly arrogant and confrontational, always ready to challenge anyone and everything.
After the final battle at the Valley of the End, he went into hiding and remained unnoticed by anyone in the entire ninja world. This forbearance alone earned him the utmost respect from Uchiha Kakuyama.
During the many years he hid, he left behind countless contingency plans. He even secretly controlled the Mizukage of Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages, causing Kirigakure to collapse and fall apart. If it weren't for Ao's discovery, the Fourth Mizukage would have had to wait many more years to break free from his control.
Don't be fooled by Obito Uchiha's constant troublemaking. If you pay close attention, you'll find that the reason he's so difficult to deal with, besides his Kamui eye technique, is that Madara Uchiha's influence is evident in many other aspects of his actions. In essence, Obito Uchiha is just a Kage-level shinobi who inherited Madara Uchiha's legacy.
The Fourth Mizukage, having been freed from the genjutsu control, quickly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the people from Kirigakure with complicated expressions, especially Genji. The look in Genji's eyes when he looked at the Fourth Mizukage was full of regret. You have to know that Genji has a very high status in Kirigakure. How high? Because he nodded in agreement when the Fourth Mizukage came to power.
Back then, he had high hopes for the Fourth Mizukage, Kurama. He believed that under the Fourth Mizukage's leadership, Kirigakure would definitely get better and better. But what happened?
As a result, Kurashiki's temperament changed drastically shortly after he took over as Mizukage, causing the Hidden Mist Village to suffer a significant drop in strength. Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the village's strongest fighters, all betrayed them, and many of the village's pillar clans with bloodline limits were wiped out.
Yuan Shi thought all of this was due to his poor judgment of people, but it turned out that the Fourth Mizukage had been controlled by someone else. If it weren't for the Uchiha clan leader's visit to Kirigakure this time, they wouldn't know when they would have discovered this.
The Fourth Mizukage, who had already woken up, looked at Genji, Mei Terumi, and the others in front of him, but he did not shake off his suppressed joy. Instead, he sat there blankly, his pupils constantly dilating and shrinking, trembling, and tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He did not react at all, letting the tears flow freely.
The Fourth Mizukage was clearly on the verge of collapse. If Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't just sealed his chakra, he might have gone berserk again.
After a long while, the Fourth Mizukage finally regained consciousness, and his eyes finally met those of the Master before him.
Upon seeing Master Yuan, the Fourth Mizukage finally showed emotion in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but knelt down directly before Master Yuan and slammed his head heavily onto the ground.
Like a severely wounded wild beast, the Fourth Mizukage knelt there, his head hitting the ground and he didn't get up. He just wailed, "Master, I'm sorry!" His voice was hoarse and shrill, which made Mei Terumi's eyes redden.
The Fourth Mizukage's shrill cry of "Master!" somewhat eased Master Yuan's initial rage. His face twitched violently, his hand gripping his cane tightly, and his voice, no longer clear, became hoarse as he asked:
When did this happen?
The Fourth Mizukage's kneeling body trembled again. Recalling the events of the past few years caused him intense pain, both psychologically and physically.
"It has been more than ten years since I took over as Mizukage."
Upon hearing the Fourth Mizukage's words, Genji closed his eyes in anguish. It was from that moment that the Fourth Mizukage's temperament changed drastically, causing the entire Hidden Mist Village to be filled with unease.
Immediately afterward, Master Yuan opened his eyes in a rage and squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth.
"who is it?"
The Fourth Mizukage, whose head was already bowed, lowered it even further.
"I don't know."
The already furious expression on Yuan Shi's face intensified, and he roared...
"You've been controlled by him for so many years, and you're telling me you didn't know?"
“Master Yuan, that person is extremely powerful. I was controlled before I even figured out his background. For many years, I have been in a daze. Even when I regained consciousness, I was quickly controlled again. So, I am not very clear about his identity.”
Hearing the Fourth Mizukage's words, Genji was helpless and could only turn his head away to avoid being angered to death.
Since he couldn't get the answer from the Fourth Mizukage, he would have to look for someone else.
Master Yuan turned around, looked at Uchiha Kakuyama who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, and asked sincerely.
"Clan head Uchiha, do you know who the person who controlled the Fourth Mizukage is? Is he the enemy of the Uchiha clan that you came to see this time?"
Uchiha Kakuyama stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "That person is very likely the one I'm looking for. However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Master Yuan, as we Uchiha don't know his identity either."
All I knew was that he harbored great hostility towards our Uchiha clan and had repeatedly come to our clan's territory to spy on us. I discovered him, and although I didn't capture him, I did make him suffer a minor setback.
Uchiha Kakuyama then recalled:
"However, what I am certain of is that he is not alone. He must be part of an organization or force. If he hadn't been one of my companions, I would have killed him back then. The white monster who appeared to be the Fourth Mizukage that I killed earlier was probably a member of their organization. Master Yuan can start from this angle."
In the original story, Kirigakure probably didn't know the identities of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, otherwise they would have been locked in a life-or-death struggle with them long ago.
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yuan Shi nodded, though unsure if they were true.
"This man is our mortal enemy in Kirigakure. If the Uchiha clan leader has any news about him, he must let us know. We will make sure he knows that no one can withstand the wrath of Kirigakure."
Chapter 287 The Passionate Mei Terumi
Chapter 287 Passionate Mei Terumi
"I will make this person know that the wrath of Kirigakure is not something that anyone can withstand."
When Master Yuan said this, his eyes were practically blazing with fire.
Uchiha Kakuzan said nothing in response to Yuan Shi's anger, and simply nodded in agreement.
Seeing that there were no clues at Uchiha Kagami's place, Yuan Shi instructed Ao to use his Byakugan to search for any suspicious individuals.
However, when Uchiha Obito was overwhelming the Three-Tails, Uchiha Obito and Zetsu, seeing that the situation was not good, had already fled. How could he possibly have found them?
Next, Master Yuan arranged for someone to take the Fourth Mizukage, who looked exhausted, back to rest. He also arranged for Mei Terumi to accompany Uchiha Kakuzan to rest and play in Kirigakure before hurriedly going off to attend to other matters.
The Fourth Mizukage is already useless, and he still has to deal with all the troubles the Fourth Mizukage caused.
Whether it's taking over the rights left behind by the Fourth Hokage or dealing with the matter caused by the Three-Tails' rampage, he needs to be busy. If it weren't for having to receive Uchiha Kakuyama, even Mei Terumi would be sent out by Genji to be extremely busy.
Having eliminated Obito Uchiha's remaining forces in Kirigakure, Uchiha Kagami had nothing else to do. So, he took Shisui and Itachi and followed Mei Terumi as they wandered around Kirigakure aimlessly.
Because Kirigakure is located far overseas, it has many interesting customs and delicacies. Although they may not be comparable to those on the mainland, they have their own unique flavors, which allowed Uchiha Kakuyama and the others to enjoy a feast.
Mei Terumi was also very enthusiastic towards Uchiha Kakuyama because of the instructions her master had given her before leaving, which made him feel somewhat flattered.
It should be noted that Mei Terumi is currently around twenty years old. Although she doesn't yet possess the mature charm of the original work, she is in the prime of her youth and beauty. In addition, her Boil Release and Lava Release abilities have firmly placed her among the top in Kirigakure. Although many people admire her, none of them dare to pursue her for the sake of their own lives.
Mei Terumi's strength was nothing compared to that of Uchiha Kakuyama, which gave Genji, who wanted to win over the Uchiha clan, some hope.
At this moment, the thick fog that had been blown away by Uchiha Kagami gathered again above Kirigakure. Uchiha Kagami was wandering around the famous scenic spots in Kirigakure with Terumi Mei. Shisui and Itachi understood Terumi Mei's intentions and wisely followed at a distance without disturbing them.
As a gust of wind blew by, the surrounding thick fog obscured the figures of Uchiha Okayama and Terumi Mei, making them appear and disappear intermittently.
Mei Terumi looked at the handsome Uchiha Kakuyama, pursed her red lips, and tossed her hair aside before asking:
"Chief Qiushan, you look very young. How old are you this year?"
Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Mei Terumi with some confusion, paused for a moment, and said, "She's about seventeen."
Mei Terumi's eyes widened when she heard what Uchiha Kakuzan said. She had previously thought that Uchiha Kakuzan was just young-looking. With his strength, he was able to become the head of the Uchiha clan. He must be in his twenties or thirties, just like their Fourth Mizukage. Although he looked young, he was actually quite old.
It's important to know that a ninja's strength is closely related to age, and Uchiha Kakuzan is currently in the initial stage of rapid strength improvement. He can already easily overpower the Three-Tails and play around with it. Who knows how terrifying his strength will be when he's in his twenties?
Mei Terumi's gaze towards Uchiha Kakuyama suddenly turned fiery, and she asked him passionately, "So, Kakuyama-kun, would you mind having a twenty-year-old sister as a wife?"
When the time is right, one must act decisively. Mei Terumi knew very well that she wouldn't have many opportunities to interact with Uchiha Kakuyama. It was a rare opportunity to meet such a suitable person, and her master had also hinted at it. So, she disregarded her reserve and asked him directly and boldly.
As a woman, especially a beautiful one, Mei Terumi only wanted to find a handsome man who was stronger than her. However, in this vast Kirigakure village, there was not a single one who could meet her requirements. On the other hand, Kirigakure-kun far exceeded her expectations in both appearance and strength, so of course she wanted to give it a try.
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Terumi Mei with some surprise when he heard her words. Although he knew that Terumi Mei was eager to get married, that was when she was in her thirties. Terumi Mei was only twenty years old now. Was she so impatient?
Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head: "Our Uchiha clan places great importance on bloodlines, and as the head of the Uchiha clan, I must set an example. Therefore, my wife can only be someone from the Uchiha clan."
Mei Terumi's eyes lit up even more when she heard what Uchiha Kakuzan said. Although she wanted to find a husband, she didn't want to leave Kirigakure. And wasn't Uchiha Kakuzan just what she wanted? She wasn't the kind of person who cared about status. If she were to really live in the Uchiha clan's territory, she really wouldn't be able to adapt.
Therefore, upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Mei Terumi's smile grew even sweeter.
"Then, Mr. Qiushan, would you mind having another mistress in Kirigakure, as long as you come to see her often?" Kirigakure is currently in a time of great need for reconstruction, and Mei Terumi, as a renowned strongman in Kirigakure, really doesn't want to leave Kirigakure at this time.
Uchiha Kakuzan was genuinely surprised this time. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Terumi Mei, saying, "What do you mean? I know very well that I don't have that much charm to make you throw yourself into my arms."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Mei Terumi smiled and said, "I do indeed have a great fondness for Kakuzan-kun, that's the most important point. Secondly, Kakuzan-kun has helped Kirigakure so much this time, and Kirigakure has nothing to repay you with, so I'm repaying you with my own life."
Furthermore, the Uchiha clan has now separated from Konoha, so if I become one of Qiu Shan's people, it would serve as a bridge of friendship between the Uchiha clan and Kirigakure. Besides, I am not incompetent; I will certainly be able to play an important role in this."
Mei Terumi paused, her gaze towards Uchiha Kakuyama burning with fervor:
"Most importantly, the man I, Mei Terumi, am looking for must be someone who can convince me and who is stronger than me in terms of strength. Therefore, Mr. Okayama is the most suitable."
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Mei Terumi, unsure of what to say. He had been prepared to use Kotoamatsukami to control her, but she hadn't expected to come to him like this. Kakuzan nodded at Mei Terumi's enthusiastic and bold expression.
Chapter 288 Dangerous Mei Terumi
Chapter 288 Dangerous Mei Terumi
Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Mei Terumi to be so passionate. They'd only spent one day together, and she'd already confessed her feelings. Although Kakuzan knew the Hidden Mist Village strategist might be involved, he was still quite fond of Mei Terumi's attitude.
It's important to know that Mei Terumi is an exceptionally beautiful woman, and her personality and charm, coupled with the possibility of her becoming the Mizukage of Kirigakure in the future, all contribute to her appeal.
Even if her heart isn't with Uchiha Kakuzan, it doesn't matter. Look up Kotoamatsukami; it will definitely make Mei Terumi wholeheartedly think about Uchiha Kakuzan.
With the mountain wind whistling in his ears, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Terumi Mei standing there gracefully, appearing and disappearing in the swirling mist. Her figure was slender, and her expression was somewhat shy because of her boldness just now, but her watery eyes were fixed on Uchiha Kakuzan.
Since the beautiful woman in front of him had fallen for him, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and pulled Terumi Mei into his arms.
Shisui and Itachi, who were following Uchiha Kagami from a distance, blinked after seeing the sudden situation ahead. After making sure they weren't mistaken, they exchanged a glance and then turned and walked towards another path on the side.
The two walked there silently, neither of them speaking. Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha spoke first:
"Brother Zhishui, the clan leader is about the same age as you, right?"
Upon hearing Itachi's words, Uchiha Shisui knew what he meant. After glancing at him, he said succinctly, "Yes, the clan leader of the Qiushan clan is only a few months younger than me."
Itachi shook his head and looked at Shisui meaningfully, saying, "I didn't expect that the clan leader is not only powerful, but also so amazing in a certain aspect."
Shisui did not respond to Itachi's provocative words, but only glanced at him indifferently. However, if you looked closely, you could see a vein bulging on Shisui's forehead.
After Itachi finished his sigh, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Shisui with interest:
"Brother Zhishui, you and the clan leader grew up together, right? Was he always this powerful from a young age?"
Upon hearing Itachi's words, Shisui stroked his chin, a look of reminiscence on his face.
"Yes, Chief Qiu Shan has always been very talented. However, he is different from us. Our talent lies in our ability to seize opportunities, plan strategies, and react quickly in battle, which gives us a great advantage on the battlefield."
Hearing this, Itachi asked with some confusion, "So this is the advantage of ninjas in battle? Then what about the clan leader?"
Shisui gave Itachi a meaningful look and said, "The clan leader is different from us; he sees much further ahead than we do."
"The clan chief's talent lies in the development and research of his own potential."
In fact, both of these talents are important for increasing strength; however, it depends on which one is more suitable.
Before awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, Chief Qiu Shan's talent and strength weren't particularly outstanding. If he had any advantage, it was that he could awaken his Sharingan faster than the average clansman.
But after he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was like a caged bird freed from its cage.
Whether it's eye techniques, genjutsu, ninjutsu, secret techniques, the development of the Sharingan, or the application of Susanoo, he masters them all with ease. This has led to a rapid increase in his strength, and now I have absolutely no idea where his limits lie.
Upon hearing Shisui's words, Itachi's eyes filled with longing, and he sighed, "Yes, the clan leader is too strong. He is the strongest in our Uchiha clan."
