Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

A massive torrent of water rose from the ground, instantly engulfing the Hidden Mist ninjas, enveloping them, and trapping them in a water prison.

The next moment, countless bone spikes erupted from the ground, piercing precisely into the hearts of each of them, staining the water prison red...

Using the mist of the green water, the four of them executed a brilliant teamwork, wiping out the scouts of the Hidden Mist in an instant!

But there's nothing we can do; the future of Kirigakure actually rests on the shoulders of these four people.

Zabuza dared to instigate the Kirigakure rebellion and went toe-to-toe with Kakashi Hatake.

Kisame single-handedly defeated the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, demonstrating solid Kage-level combat power.

Mei Terumi, the future Fifth Mizukage, possesses two bloodline limits.

Kaguya Kimijiro possesses the strongest Shikotsumyaku, and as things stand, he seems to be an enhanced version of Kimimaro.

If these four individuals remain loyal to Kirigakure, and with the future mastery of the Three-Tails by Yagura Karatachi, along with the terrain of the isolated island in the Land of Water, they might actually bring relative peace to the village.

Unfortunately, the biggest problem in this village is its internal structure.

"Alright, now we're all considered rogue ninja..."

Kisame let out a long breath and said in a low voice, "Let's get out of this fog first, and then we'll think about where we're going."

He did not want to kill his companion.

However, if Kushimaru Kurihara and Jinpachi Murashi were allowed to return to Kirigakure, then the rest of them could simply wait for the Third Mizukage to hunt them down.

Kisame, who hails from Kirigakure, may not want to do it himself, but he also won't let others harm him.

"Acid mist, bombs comparable to detonating tags..."

Kaguya Kimijiro was quite troubled: "Although the fog is relatively thin, Mei Terumi should be able to use Boil Release to clear a relatively safe area for us, but it's still very troublesome. My internal organs are starting to hurt..."

"It seems I have no choice but to activate my Corpse Bone Meridian and forcibly pave a path for everyone."

Zabuza stared silently at Kaguya-kunjiro, his expression quite comical.

When did Kaguya, the battle maniac and skeleton killer of the Kaguya clan, start clearing the way for her comrades?

It must be said that since being physically corrected by Aoshui, Kaguya Kimijiro's personality has indeed improved a lot, to the point that the Kaguya clan members harshly criticized him for losing his fighting spirit.

But Kaguya Kimijiro remained unmoved. Could that thing withstand the power of Lord Aozumi?

It crumbles as soon as you break it!

"Kimijiro, I can try to clear a path with Water Release. I still have some chakra left." Kisame looked at Ayano coughing up blood, his heart tightened, and he felt a strange sensation. He spoke in a deep voice.

For some reason, he didn't want Ayano to die.

However, compared to the physical condition of these people, Ayano, who was just an ordinary Chunin, couldn't even withstand the acid mist diluted by Mei Terumi, and blood kept flowing from the corner of her mouth.

The average ninja's physique is so fragile that they can die very easily.

Zabuza silently picked up the Exploding Blade: Spray and the Longsword: Sewing Needle from the ground, shook his head, and said, "Let's try our best to survive first. We need to recover, and we don't know where the future leads..."

"To just surrender to Uchiha Aokiji like this... not only would he not believe it, but even I wouldn't believe it myself..."

Everyone nodded silently.

As the vanguard of the Hidden Mist, they were trapped in acid mist and booby traps, yet they slaughtered their own comrades.

This kind of behavior is despicable from any perspective, and who can trust it?

But this is the reality of the ninja world—

From the moment Kisame and his companions arrived in Konoha, the gears of fate began to slowly turn. The opposing stances, conflicts, and the suspicions of Kirigakure had already sealed the fate of these talented ninjas.

And coincidentally...

Right after Zabuza finished speaking, the fog miraculously dissipated!

Qingshui suddenly appeared in front of them, smiling gently: "Don't worry, I heard everything."

"As I promised, Konoha welcomes outstanding ninjas from Kirigakure."

"Come with me—"

Mei Terumi and the others widened their eyes in shock as the man they both longed to see and feared appeared like a ghost!

[From Mei Terumi, Kisame, Kaguya Kimijiro, and Zabuza: You have gained a special talent—Heart of the Hidden Mist!]

【Hidden Heart in the Mist】:

When you take control of Kirigakure, the strength of the ninjas under that unit will improve in return, including but not limited to bloodline, chakra, ninjutsu skills, and physique.

The feedback multiplier is positively correlated with the loyalty of the Hidden Mist Ninja to you.

This talent unlocks the final laning phase, and upon completion, grants a special reward—the Ocean Contract.

Today I said I'd earn 10,000 a day!

I'll update with 4200 words first!

There will definitely be a second update; I'll stay up all night and still manage to write 10,000 words a day!

Chapter 149 No injections, no medicine, just sitting here chatting with you

Heart of the Mist...

Qing Shui looked at this special talent and chuckled to himself.

The Uchiha clan truly has a wondrous destiny.

In the original timeline, Madara Uchiha controlled the Hidden Mist Anbu and sealed the Three-Tails into Rin Nohara's body; Obito Uchiha controlled the Fourth Mizukage and treated Yagura Karatachi as a plaything, launching the even more brutal Blood Mist Village to avenge his lover.

And in Qingshui, the Heart of the Mist has even appeared…

The Hokage position in Konoha has not yet been finalized, and Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze are still questioning Aoshi's chances based on the prophecy of Mount Myōboku.

Meanwhile, Kirigakure has already taken a blatant detour, clearly intending for Aokiji to become the Mizukage, as if beckoning him seductively—

Hey old man from the Uchiha clan, come join the fun!

“We can start the final showdown, and the reward is the Ocean Contract…” Qing Shui pondered.

He had never heard of this ocean pact before. It was just that Tobirama Senju was jokingly called by people in the Warring States period that he was the man who made a pact with the sea.

But in Qing Shui's opinion, this old Deng was the kind of person who would sell his head at a bargain price!

Admittedly, Tobirama Senju's water-style techniques were quite comprehensive, including the development of "Water Release: Heaven's Cry," an assassination-type ninjutsu that used water needles as projectiles, spitting them out from his mouth...

Techniques like "Hard Vortex Water Blade" and "Water Dragon Bite Explosion," which enhance damage by compressing water blades...

However, it is not yet the strongest.

In terms of expressiveness, Kisame's Great Waterfall Technique at his peak, combined with the Thousand Shark Technique which can absorb chakra, the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu's Vaporize Explosion, the genjutsu that works with the summoning beast Mirage, as well as the Great Water Arm Technique, the Water Transformation Technique, and other series of water-style techniques, all belong to the first tier.

If Qingshui were to master all the Water Release ninjutsu and form a contract with the sea, then he would undoubtedly be the number one Water Release user!

Even if the Sage of Six Paths were to come, Qing Shui would have to try and sink him to the bottom of the sea with the help of the ocean's natural power...

"In the final laning phase, it's quite difficult to initiate this."

Qing Shui frowned. To obtain the Sea Escape Technique, one must first bring the Heart of Mist Concealment to its limit, and then complete the final confrontation.

And today, only Tobirama Senju has achieved this final step in his laning phase.

This is the evil Thousand-Handed Old Ghost who was with him day and night and was deeply influenced by Qing Shui.

The rest of his close associates, even those who were still, did not activate their powers.

"Tobirama Senju initiated the final confrontation because he was extremely dissatisfied with the current state of Konoha. It originated from the Will of Fire in the details, and was ultimately ignited by Danzo Shimura's persecution of Sakumo Hatake. The root cause lies in the collapse of his former beliefs and convictions, and all of this is related to me..."

"Therefore, to bring the Heart of the Hidden Mist to its final stage, I must first make these Hidden Mist ninjas submit to me, let them experience abundant peace, and see me as their only one, cultivating positive emotions first..."

"After that, we'll find a way to make them experience extreme emotional fluctuations, whether negative or positive, depending on the situation..."

Qingshui searched for the right way to start the final battle, looked up at the moon, and smiled slightly.

Perhaps we can ask that white-haired older sister for a favor.

To contact this person, one must keep a close eye on Black Zetsu, a creation with a deep connection to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"If Kirigakure is related to the ocean, then what do the other villages represent?"

Based on the rewards of the Ocean Contract, Qing Shui took stock of the five hidden villages:

"The symbols of Iwagakure are mountains and earth, Sunagakure are strong winds and deserts, and Kumogakure are lightning and the sky. These four hidden villages encompass the landscape of the ninja world, so if we assume this, they also encompass the power of nature..."

"And what about Konoha?"

"Given my influence in Konoha, I should have awakened something like a 'Heart of Konoha' long ago..."

"Right now, the only talent we have is the 'Uchiha Heart' clan talent..."

Qing Shui pondered for a moment, then shrugged.

Perhaps, the bloodline of Konoha, the village founded by the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' offspring, is the reward for laning.

The other hidden villages possess the power of nature, representing the power of the planet itself.

Of course, these are all hypotheses, and Qingshui is not certain.

But what is clear is that no matter whether it's Mist Village, Rock Village, Sand Village, or Cloud Village, as long as Qing Shui conquers them one by one, he will always be able to discover the secrets behind them.

This is still a relatively long road.

It takes a considerable amount of time to defeat Tobirama Senju even on his own, let alone a group or a village.

The most urgent task is to win over Kirigakure and cultivate the village's loyalty.

Judging from Kaguya Kimijiro's performance, Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) still values ​​strength. A simple act of force, like a slap followed by a sweet treat, can be very effective.

After all, this village has neither the Will of Fire nor the Will of Rock, and it is already in a state of disarray.

In a chaotic state, winning people's hearts or conquering is always much easier than in a well-organized village.

Mei Terumi stared at Aoshui's retreating figure, which seemed to be gilded in the thin mist and under the sun's rays, her eyes almost mesmerized.

Is this an illusion?

But Mei Terumi's body betrayed her, and she followed with light steps.

If it weren't for the appearance of Qingshui, they would still have had to try to break through the acid fog and minefield.

If they had murderous intent towards them, Kisame and the others would have been dead long ago, given their disadvantageous position and lack of ability to fight back.
