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

After watching Sikong Zhen make his move, Yagura, a man named Gouju, cursed angrily after a long while.

With such strength and such a combination of ninjutsu, how can they possibly fight back?

He suddenly felt very fortunate that he had fled without a fight; otherwise, he estimated that he would probably be burnt to a crisp by now.

Boom...

"Through thunder, nothing escapes destruction."

Blue lightning raged rapidly, and no one could stop Sikong Zhen's advance.

"You flee, I conquer."

In a flash, Sikong Zhen turned around again and charged straight at the fleeing ninjas.

After raising his hand for a moment, another enhanced basic attack was unleashed.

"A coward is worthless!"

Sikong Zhen strolled among the ninjas of the Land of Water, his clear and distinct voice echoing above Kirigakure, as if taking a leisurely walk, maintaining his unparalleled elegance while striking down his enemies.

Although both of Sikong Zhen's skills have relatively long cooldowns, they can be refreshed every six basic attacks, so overall, Sikong Zhen's attack frequency is quite high.

Moreover, even without skills or enhanced basic attacks, Sikong Zhen's attacks are imbued with lightning effects, causing immense damage with each strike.

"The world keeps moving forward, but you stand still!"

Sikong Zhen's gaze fell on the Third Mizukage, whose face was extremely ugly not far away, as if mocking this so-called strongman who dared not make a move.

"With everyone attacking together, his strength is limited; he can't stay this powerful forever!" the Third Mizukage roared.

This time, he didn't care about his reputation anymore and went straight for a human wave tactic, determined to kill Sikong Zhen.

Moreover, this means that in order to boost morale, which had already plummeted to rock bottom, the Third Mizukage himself took action.

He refrained from making a move because he feared that if he got injured, it would be detrimental to him by Yagura.

But now, he can't care about that anymore.

If we don't intervene and let Sikong Zhen continue killing like this, his time as the Water Shadow is probably over, and who knows what kind of treatment he'll get then.

On the other side, Sikong Zhen saw that the Third Mizukage had finally made his move, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The few people he just killed have successfully raised his experience level to level four. It's time to show the terror of Sikong Zhen, the King of Thunder.

"Thunderous force!"

Without any hesitation, after the Third Mizukage made his move, Sikong Zhen immediately unleashed his ultimate move, Thunderous Might.

A terrifying roar suddenly erupted, and a large amount of lightning burst out from Sikong Zhen's body. His body shot directly into the sky, attracting endless lightning to gather in the sky.

At that moment, it was as if he had connected with heaven and earth; the lightning of the entire world was swirling around him, erupting, and raging...

The sky was dark and covered with thick clouds, as if it had suddenly turned into night. In the entire sky, only the lightning on Sikong Zhen's body was emitting dazzling light.

"Shatter the darkness with thunder!"

"An ant cannot shake a tree!"

Sikong Zhen's voice, amplified by the thunder, seemed to come from the heavens above, crashing down on everyone's eardrums.

A terrifying burst of chakra erupted. At this moment, the massive amount of chakra gained through healing was unleashed, emanating an extremely frightening aura.

In an instant, everyone felt as if an ocean of chakra had appeared in the sky, and they were a small boat in this ocean that could capsize at any moment.

"I am the Heavenly Emperor!"

As Sikong Zhen spoke, endless lightning coiled around him, descending from the sky and crashing into the crowd.

"When Yin and Yang interact, thunder shakes a thousand miles!"

Sikong Zhen's hair stood on end, enveloped in lightning, making him appear like the embodiment of thunder.

"Where thunder strikes, the winds and clouds will surely change!"

During his ultimate skill, Sikong Zhen only needs three basic attacks to refresh his skills, which makes his skill cooldowns extremely fast. In addition, his first skill's dash can also add a shield to him, so at this time, Sikong Zhen is completely invincible.

He charged into the crowd, killing one person with every step; none could withstand his attack.

When one's chakra is immense to a certain extent, and one's equipment is luxurious to a certain degree, then one is invincible.

"No! This is impossible!"

Looking at Sikong Zhen at this moment, the Third Mizukage's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

He never expected that Sikong Zhen's strength would be so terrifying. Even when facing hundreds of Hidden Mist ninjas, he was still able to move freely as if there were no one there, and no one could stop him.

Especially at this moment, Sikong Zhen charged into their ranks, rendering many of their wide-range attack methods unusable. Moreover, Sikong Zhen was not only protected by lightning, but also by a white, shield-like object, which meant that he would not be injured even if attacked.

More importantly, he sensed the chakra within Sikong Zhen's body, which was a vast ocean, a source of despair.

Swish!

The next moment, Sikong Zhen appeared directly in front of the Third Mizukage with lightning speed.

boom!

Without saying a word, Sikong Zhen unleashed a powerful enhanced basic attack, unleashing a terrifying thunderbolt that instantly sent the Third Mizukage flying.

Without hesitation, Sikong Zhen used both skills as soon as they were ready. He used his first skill to move and dodge damage, and his second skill, Lightning Ball, to quickly push back the enemy. Combined with the area damage of his enhanced basic attack, a large number of the Water Country ninjas around him fell down in no time.

The Mizukage tried to resist, but facing Sikong Zhen, he didn't even have time to form hand seals. Moreover, the paralyzing effect of the lightning meant that once the first strike hit, it was almost impossible to dodge the second, unless there was a space-time ninjutsu.

The Third Mizukage clearly didn't know this level of ninjutsu. Before Sikong Zhen's ultimate move had even lasted eight seconds, the Third Mizukage was blasted into dust by Sikong Zhen, and was struck by lightning so badly that he was almost unrecognizable.

hum!

The lightning in the sky began to subside, and the lightning on Sikong Zhen's body also weakened, and his upside-down hair returned to normal.

The thunderous storm finally passed.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared.

Sikong Zhen stood amidst the hordes of Water Country ninjas who had been annihilated, his hands behind his back, gazing at the still-living Kirigakure ninjas not far away.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence after the sound of thunder and lightning disappeared.

No one dared to speak, and many didn't even dare to breathe. They just stared at Sikong Zhen silently, their eyes glazed over, filled with fear.

In less than half a minute, Sikong Zhen showed them all what the power of lightning was, and what fear was.

Chapter 279 The Fourth Mizukage

Sikong Zhen looked around and his gaze quickly fell on the dazed Yagura Kojima not far away.

Upon noticing that Sikong Zhen was looking at him, Yagura Kojiki trembled as if he had been targeted by a tailed beast, and almost turned and ran away.

“You…” Yagura Karatachi started to say something, but found his voice so hoarse that he couldn’t even recognize it himself.

"Do you want to fight again?" Sikong Zhen asked coldly.

After the fierce battle just now, among all the people in sight, only Yagura Karatachi is the strongest; the others can basically be ignored.

Sikong Zhen didn't come to Kirigakure to kill anyone; he just wanted to investigate the matter of that child from before. So he didn't want to make a move now, unless Yagura Karatachi wanted to die.

"No, no need. Lord Sikong Zhen, please feel free to obtain any information you wish to acquire," said Yagura Gojibana, shaking his head.

"Lord Yagura, he just killed our Mizukage!"

Someone said angrily.

"Is that so? Then you can kill him to avenge Lord Mizukage." Yagura Karatachi glanced coldly at the ninja.

Saying things like that at a time like this is just asking for trouble.

The man paused for a moment after hearing what Yagura said, but remained motionless for a long while.

There's nothing we can do; we can't beat them.

This is something we really can't beat.

Hundreds of ninjas attacked together, but Sikong Zhen moved through them as if they were nothing, killing his way in and out seven times without even getting hurt. With such terrifying strength, how could they possibly take action or seek revenge?

Yagura's gaze swept over them, and many people lowered their heads.

No one sought revenge for the Third Mizukage, and no one stepped forward to say anything more.

The Third Mizukage had implemented a high-pressure Blood Mist policy in Kirigakure over the years, and there were many who wanted to overthrow him. Yagura Karatachi was one of them. Now that he had been killed, no one would stand up to speak up.

Those who would have spoken up for him have already gone with the Third Mizukage.

Sikong Zhen said nothing more and turned to walk into the mist.

"Lord Sikong Zhen, I had the honor of meeting Lord Ming Shiyin before. He once invited me to join the Yaotian Organization. Now that the Third Mizukage is dead, if I were to succeed the Fourth Mizukage, then..."

Yagura spoke carefully, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Sikong Zhen.

“It’s not necessary now,” Sikong Zhen said.

"What?" Yagura was taken aback, not understanding Sikong Zhen's meaning.

He now genuinely wants to pledge allegiance to Yao Tian; the power Sikong Zhen just displayed has made him realize the reality.

With such a powerful force, and one person single-handedly destroying the Land of Water, one of the Five Great Nations, is there anyone in the entire ninja world who can restrain their existence?

No!

Yao Tian is expected to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world and become the ruler of this world in the near future, so joining now is the best choice.

Sikong Zhen glanced at Yagura Gouju with a half-smile, "We invited you before because you are powerful and have enough influence in the Land of Water to provide intelligence and assistance to our Yaotian Organization. But now, your existence is insignificant, so we don't need you anymore!"

Sikong Zhen's explanation made Yagura's face turn extremely ugly instantly.

Was he...abandoned?

He was at least a Shadow-level expert, so why did Yao Tian give up on him so easily?

"Kisame." Sikong Zhen glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was not far away and had not yet reacted.

“Lord Sikong Zhen.” Kisame Hoshigaki immediately teleported over.

“From now on, you will be the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, understand?” Sikong Zhen said.

Kisame Hoshigaki's expression shifted, and he immediately nodded, saying, "I understand."
