People are devouring everything; I have a bucket list.

Misty Village, Water Shadow Building.

This is a cylindrical building that closely resembles a Fujian Tulou.

At this moment, the top floor of the building.

Yagura Karatachi, dressed in a white uniform with blue trim, wearing a straw hat embroidered with the character for "water," stood in front of the glass window, expressionless as he looked down at the thick white fog.

In the mist, firelight flickered from time to time, and occasionally a sharp glint of a blade flashed by.

Yagura Karatachi watched everything expressionlessly, his demeanor cold.

At that moment, a pitcher plant-like thing squeezed out of the floor next to them, then opened, revealing a strange figure that was half black and half white inside.

"They've finally rebelled."

A hoarse, low, eerie laugh rang out.

Black Zetsu narrowed his beady eyes, his tone ambiguous, whether mocking or playful, as he said:

"We've been withholding their supplies for almost two years, and those Kaguya clan members are only now discovering that it was us who did it."

"Obito, your contingency plan, which has been idle for two years, is finally about to succeed."

As Black Zetsu finished speaking, a vortex formed around Yagura.

"Now, you should call me 'Ban'."

Then, wearing the Akatsuki uniform and an orange swirling mask, Obito Uchiha appeared, imitating Madara Uchiha's voice.

He walked past Yagura, who was under the control of genjutsu, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Mizukage's office. He looked down at the Hidden Mist Village ninjas fighting to the death below, his Sharingan, the only thing visible on his orange mask, showing neither joy nor sorrow:

"I originally thought that the Kaguya clan was more patient than I imagined."

"As it turns out, they were just incredibly stupid."

Obito Uchiha sneered, his rotating Sharingan pointing directly at the cylindrical building not far from the Mizukage Building.

That was the Kaguya clan's territory in Kirigakure.

Those with good eyesight, residing in the Mizukage's office, can easily observe the movements within the Kaguya clan's territory.

Just thinking about how, a few dozen minutes earlier, the Kaguya clan had gathered their members right under his nose and were shouting that their clan leader should become the Mizukage made Obito Uchiha feel a stomachache.

Two years ago, he devised the "Bloody Mist Village" plan, which aimed to oppress bloodline families and incite infighting within Kirigakure.

At that time, he began to arrange a strategy to suppress the rebellion of Kaguya, Hozuki, and the Yuki clan, and had the Shadow Guard conduct drills with the Dark Guard.

As a result, this exercise lasted for two whole years, and the strategy of oppressing the bloodline families lasted for two years before a bloodline family took the lead in resisting, and in such an extremely foolish way.

At this moment, Hei Jue smiled sinisterly and said:

"White Zetsu has sent word that there are probably no more than 20 Kaguya clan members still alive."

"On the Anbu side, in order to sever ties with the rebellious Kaguya clan, the Yuki clan, the Hozuki clan, and even the Teru clan, along with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, are all doing their utmost to annihilate the Kaguya clan."

"Judging by the time, we should have the results in about ten minutes."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's report, Obito Uchiha simply said expressionlessly:

"The Hidden Mist ninjas' endurance far exceeds my expectations."

After two years of intense pressure, the first large-scale rebellion finally broke out. This situation made Obito Uchiha wonder if he had been too lenient with the person who had killed Rin.

"Their patience can probably be improved quite a bit."

Black Zetsu then said with a mocking tone:

"After all, the Kaguya clan's foolish actions set a bad precedent."

The ninja clan led a full-scale rebellion?

Once this happens, the Mizukage will have a reason to impose even stronger pressure on all the bloodline families in Kirigakure.

The oppressed bloodline families will become even more obedient and actively cooperate with the oppression, hoping that the Mizukage will let them off the hook.

Conversely, the Kaguya clan, by committing foolish acts, will absorb most of the hatred points of the bloodline clan.

In this way, Obito Uchiha could control Yagura Karatachi to carry out even more brutal attacks on Kirigakure.

Both Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu were fully aware of this matter.

"It's time to end this farce."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Obito Uchiha calmly said:

"Make those secret agents, especially the bloodline families within them, move faster."

"The Kaguya clan no longer needs to exist!"

Black Zetsu chuckled upon hearing this and voluntarily submerged, preparing to have White Zetsu impersonate an ANBU to deliver the Mizukage's orders.

However, at this very moment,

"You son of a bitch, Yagura!!"

"Die, you son of a bitch!!!"

A furious roar tore through the mist of Kirigakure.

Accompanying the sound was a blazing, bright orange blade of light.

Gazing at the sharp blade of light that suddenly appeared and slashed towards the Mizukage Building, towering much higher than the entire building, Obito Uchiha subconsciously activated his Hollowfication.

At the same time, Black Zetsu also quickly activated his levitation technique and concealed himself inside the building.

Next second,

boom!!

The Water Shadow Building fortress, built of massive stones, was cleaved in two by the scorching blade light.

The scorching blade light evaporated a large amount of water vapor in the surrounding area. The intense heat even caused the broken ends of the Water Shadow Building, which had been split in two, to melt!

The fog suddenly dissipated.

The Hidden Mist Village ANBU members, who had emerged from the mist, stared in disbelief at the cleaved Mizukage Building, momentarily stunned.

"Are you kidding me?"

"The building...it was actually split in two?!"

Just as the secret agents were in shock, the massive Mizukage Building began to collapse with a deafening roar.

Amidst a tremendous roar, the "Never-Falling Fortress," which had been built for over forty years, came to a complete end.

Houses collapsed and buildings crumbled; the earthquake roared.

In the midst of the chaos, Mei Terumi, wearing an ANBU mask, slightly contracted her pupils and quickly gave her subordinates a coded signal to retreat.

Seeing this, the group of ANBU members surrounding Mei Terumi sprang into action and began an orderly retreat.

And at this moment,

"roar--!!"

A tremendous roar of beasts resounded.

A colossal turtle-shaped beast, with a grayish-white shell and a height significantly greater than the original Water Shadow Building, appeared at the location of the Water Shadow Building.

Boom!

The Tailed Beast's massive limbs stomped on the wreckage of the Mizukage Building, making a loud noise.

"Are you kidding me?"

On the rooftop of a residential building, Zabuza Momochi, wearing a mask, glared angrily at Isobu, the Three-Tails.

"He actually transformed into a tailed beast right there in the village?"

"Has the Mizukage gone mad?!"

Just then, Yagura Karatachi, who had appeared in the form of a tailed beast, suddenly opened his mouth, and under the astonished gazes of all the ninjas, a huge amount of yin and yang chakra began to gather.

"Oh no, it's a Tailed Beast Ball!!"

The Anbu members were terrified. Those within the attack range abandoned their Kaguya clan opponents and fled for their lives, fearing that if they were too slow, they would become victims of the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Lord Mizukage!!"

Why?!

A series of terrified screams rang out.

And at this moment,

"Get the hell out of here!!"

A burst of flame shot skyward from the chin of the Three-Tailed Isobu!

A massive orange torrent rose directly from the ground, creating a towering pillar of fire with a diameter of over thirty meters on the original site of the Water Shadow Building!

Under the impact of the massive pillar of fire, the Three-Tailed Isobu was completely overturned, much to the astonishment of the many ANBU members.

Rumble!!

The tailed beast was thrown to the ground, the earth trembled, and houses collapsed.

Meanwhile, Mei Terumi, who had long since left the battlefield, stared at the overturned Three-Tailed Isobu, her face beneath the mask frozen in shock.

"What exactly happened?"
