Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

The surrounding ninjas also cast puzzled glances. Although they did not disobey Yagura's orders to retreat quickly, such a thing would be a great loss to the reputation of their ANBU if word got out.

To flee without a fight is utterly shameful.

"Shut up! Do you think the people from the Yaotian Organization are so easy to deal with? Especially that Sikong Zhen, codenamed Greedy Wolf, he's definitely a ruthless character. If you want to die, I won't stop you, you can go up and try." Yagura Goji tachibana said coldly and angrily.

If the Yao Tian organization they encountered was led by Kisame Hoshigaki, then Yagura would definitely take action without hesitation.

But this time, he encountered someone far more complex than Kisame Hoshigaki.

After dealing with them for so long, Yagura had figured out the situation and structure of the Yaotian organization, or rather, the information that Kisame Hoshigaki had 'sold' to him.

He knew very well that the strength of the members in the Yaotian organization was not the same.

The so-called divine messengers and members like Kisame Hoshigaki are not on the same level at all.

Even if he had just encountered Orochimaru or Kakuzu, he wouldn't have chosen to retreat. But Sikong Zhen made him unable to muster any intention to make a move.

The reason is simple: this person is very likely a divine messenger.

Moreover, it was a divine messenger who had never appeared before.

This means that Yagura has no information about his opponent. Apart from knowing that the opponent is skilled in lightning release, he knows nothing about Sikong Zhen. Once they fight, he has almost no hope of winning.

Therefore, he chose to retreat directly, refusing to become cannon fodder for the Third Mizukage.

The secret agents arrived quickly and left just as fast, disappearing into the forest before Sikong Zhen could even react.

"They really run fast," Sikong Zhen said with a sneer.

However, he didn't plan to chase after them. His goal was Kirigakure, and as long as he headed in that direction, he would eventually run into these people again, unless Yagura Karatachi had no intention of returning to the village.

Without wasting any more time, the lightning on Sikong Zhen's body erupted once more, heading straight for Wuyin.

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head helplessly and chose to follow.

"So I've been associating with people like this all along? I feel a little ashamed..."

Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but blush at the thought that he had once been a member of the Anbu of the Land of Water; he had run away way too fast.

Behind.

Yakushi Nonou watched the two of them from afar, her shock deepening as she observed the rapidly retreating ANBU ninjas from the Land of Water.

"Wasn't that the person leading the team just now the captain of the Dark Guard of the Land of Water, Yagura Karatachi? How come they didn't fight? How come?" Yakushi Nonou muttered to herself in shock.

These people came aggressively, clearly there to arrest someone. When the two sides met, Yakushi Nonou thought she was about to witness a fierce battle, but to her surprise, the next moment, the members of the Land of Water's Dark Guard turned and ran away, and ran away so gracefully and freely...

Is this still the captain of the dark forces of the Water Kingdom that she knows?

At this moment, she was already very curious about Sikong Zhen and the other person.

They appeared outside the village she was investigating, and then, due to a conflict with the Land of Water, they are now heading straight for Kirigakure. What exactly are the purposes of these two people?

Without time to think, Yakushi Nono immediately followed. This time, she was determined to find out what happened back then and also to figure out what connection Sikong Zhen and the other person had with that incident.

Time flies.

Sikong Zhen was already very fast, and it didn't take long for the Hidden Mist Village, which had been hidden in the mist, to appear in the distant valley.

At the same time, the Third Mizukage had already learned that Yagura had fled without a fight, and he was so angry that he smashed his desk into pieces with a single blow.

"Yagura Karatachi!! What are you doing? Why did you run away?"

Seeing the fearless Yagura in front of him, the Third Mizukage wished he could just take action.

"Our opponents are very strong. If we fight them outside, we will lose many ninjas. It would be better to retreat first and wait for them to walk into our trap," said Yagura Karatachi with a calm expression.

Since things have already turned ugly, there's no need for him to say anything more.

"You... are very good!" The Third Mizukage gritted his teeth.

The Hidden Mist is becoming increasingly out of control.

In particular, some of his subordinates even considered rebelling.

Now that we've dealt with the enemy, it's time to purge the inner workings of Kirigakure.

The Third Mizukage gave Yagura a deep look, then led his men away in a flash, having already sensed the approach of Shiku Zhen and Kisame Hoshigaki.

“Sir, what should we do…” A member of the Anbu ninja looked cautiously at Yagura Karatachi.

"It's alright, we don't even know if he'll survive today!" Yagura said softly.

Does a Third Mizukage really think he can stop the Yao Tian Organization?

With a deafening roar of thunder, Sikong Zhen crashed down in front of the Water Shadow's gate.

Purple lightning raged forth, engulfing the surrounding rocks and earth in its terrifying power, blasting them into dust.

"Who are you? What brings you to Kirigakure?"

The Third Mizukage, who was well-prepared, unleashed a terrifying surge of chakra, his face cold as he stared at Sikong Zhen not far away.

"Sikong Zhen, the King of Thunder, codenamed Greedy Wolf in Yaotian, I'm only here in Wuyin to investigate something. If the Third Mizukage doesn't mind, I'd like to see some of the documents you have," Sikong Zhen said bluntly.

If it were when he wasn't strong enough, Sikong Zhen might have actually chosen to infiltrate the Hidden Mist Village and secretly obtain the information he wanted.

But now, it's not so necessary anymore.

Strength is the source of all confidence.

The Third Mizukage's expression was extremely grim.

This is a blatant slap in the face, showing that they don't take him seriously at all.

"What a fine Yaotian Organization! What if I refuse you?" the Third Mizukage roared.

This is Kirigakure, the headquarters of his Water Country ninjas. Although the Yao Tian organization is very strong, they dare to act wildly here, which shows a great disregard for the Five Great Nations.

If he were outside, he might actually be wary of the Yaotian Organization's strength and not dare to make a move, but here, he is not afraid.

The only problem is that this move will likely deal a significant blow to Kirigakure.

However, there was no time to think too much at this point. The other party had already come knocking on our door; could we really expect them to back down just by talking?

"Reject me?" Sikong Zhen's expression shifted slightly, revealing a cold smile. "Then find a water shadow who won't reject me!"

"presumptuous!"

"A Jonin, an elite from the Land of Water, roared angrily."

The ninjas following the Mizukage also had extremely gloomy expressions.

This Sikong Zhen completely disregards the people of Wuyin. Do you think the Mizukage can be replaced so easily? Who do you think you are?

Yagura squinted as he watched the scene unfold at the entrance to Kirigakure.

"Change the Mizukage? If he kills the Third Hokage, and it's my turn, then showing him the intelligence doesn't seem like a big deal," Yagura thought to himself.

In the current Hidden Mist Village, apart from the Third Mizukage, only Yagura Karatachi has the qualifications and strength to succeed him as Mizukage.

Previously, there were actually a few members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist behind them, but unfortunately, these people were crippled by the Yaotian Organization a long time ago.

Although Yagura Karatachi harbored villainous intentions, he had not yet found a suitable opportunity to act. Today's conflict between the Third Mizukage and the Yaotian Organization presented a good opportunity.

Moreover, he remembered very clearly that Ming Shiyin of the Yaotian Organization had invited him to join the organization. If he could get Yaotian's strong support, then joining the Yaotian Organization might not be out of the question.

After all, Kisame Hoshigaki seems to be doing quite well in the Yao Tian organization.

Just as Yagura was lost in thought, the ninjas on the other side of the confrontation made their move.

Under the orders of the Third Mizukage, a large number of ninjas from the Land of Water poured out of the village, including many elite Jonin-level ninjas, while some ninjas directly under the Mizukage had already taken action.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Technique!"

……

Everyone began rapidly forming hand seals, their hands flying across their chests, none of them slowing down.

"Water Release ninjutsu is really a good technique for practicing hand seals. Other ninjutsu can be completed in just a few hand seals, but you guys are like playing cat's cradle..."

Watching these Hidden Mist ninjas form hand seals, Sikong Zhen couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was standing to the side, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth when he heard this. No matter how you looked at it, it sounded like he was making a veiled insult.

But he had no choice. The way he learned to perform ninjutsu was like this, especially water ninjutsu, which involved a lot of hand seals. But there was nothing he could do; this thing couldn't be simplified. Cough cough, at least he couldn't simplify it. Whether others could do it was another matter.

Boom!

The next moment, Sikong Zhen stopped appreciating the hand seal competition among these water-style ninjas. His entire body suddenly crackled with lightning, and he appeared directly in front of these ninjas in a flash.

"The journey is endless and the storms are ever-present."

Accompanied by Sikong Zhen's oppressive voice, and after a thunderous swiftness, his right hand suddenly lashed out.

boom……

A terrifying bolt of lightning roared out and descended from the sky, engulfing a large number of ninjas in front of him.

"Ah..."

As the lightning struck, screams erupted everywhere.

"what happened?"

"Is this a space-time ninjutsu?"

"Why? Why doesn't he use hand seals when performing ninjutsu?"

"How is this going?"

……

In the blink of an eye, many ninjas were dumbfounded. How could this be different from what they expected?

Shouldn't Sikong Zhen have been submerged by the water-style ninjutsu of those dozens of people?

How could he appear in front of them, and how could he unleash such a powerful lightning ninjutsu with a wave of his hand?

At this moment, let alone the Hidden Mist ninjas, they were completely dumbfounded.

Even Yagura Goji, who had a lot of contact with Yao Tian, ​​changed his expression.

"Damn it, all the people in Yaotian are freaks!"
