From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 101 The Water Shadow is on its way

Are all members of the Uchiha clan insane?!

Looking at the man with a gentle smile in front of him, Raiga Kurosuki felt a chill that ran deep in his heart.

This guy wandered around Kirigakure for so long, and it turns out his real target was actually the Mizukage!
You know, that's a 'shadow'!

He's not some random cat or dog on the street, nor is he just an ordinary elite Jonin.

Anyone who can earn the title of 'Kage' in the ninja world is basically a formidable figure; they are all formidable figures who have fought their way to the top on the battlefield.

Even in those smaller ninja villages, the ninjas who can be recognized by each village as 'Kage' are all incredibly strong.

Not to mention, Uchiha Munetsuki's goal is to become the Mizukage!

If we're talking about a Kage from an ordinary ninja village, perhaps it's possible for him to be assassinated by a Jonin.

But the Mizukage is one of the Five Kage, the leader of the five great ninja villages. How could he possibly be killed by an ordinary ninja?
If they were that easy to kill by the ninjas sent by Konoha, they might as well just slit their own throats and stop thinking about joining forces with the Iwa ninjas to launch a war against Konoha.

"Fine, I'll see how you plan to assassinate the Mizukage!"

Having reassured himself, Kurozuki Raiga sneered, retrieved his Raiga, and watched him warily from the side.

Compared to the peace and tranquility here, the situation in Pipa Juzo's place is one of utter misery.

For some reason, it seemed that the three-tailed isobu had set its sights on him, ignoring everyone else and relentlessly pursuing him with unwavering determination.

In a sense, this can be considered as achieving his original intention, only in a different way, 'stopping' Isobu, but only causing suffering to one person.

"That's exactly what I wanted!"

Juzo Biwa licked his lips, his eyes flashing with bloodlust: "My Executioner's Blade has been thirsting for blood for a long time. Today, I'll let it taste the flavor of a Tailed Beast!"

He constantly teetered on the edge of life and death, as if dancing on a thin thread amidst a world studded with daggers. Every nerve in his brain, and indeed every muscle in his body, was taut and tense; a single mistake could instantly claim his life. This thrilling sensation filled him with exhilaration.

"That's what it feels like!"

Pipa Juzo could sense that his mental energy was highly concentrated, and under this high-pressure environment, he seemed to have gained a completely new understanding.

Perhaps, if he can survive this battle, his strength will improve even further!
"Come on! Let's fight!"

As if possessed, Pipa Juzo, carrying the guillotine, charged toward Isobu.

Forced to retreat by Isobu, he finally found a sliver of an opening.

He moved faster and faster until finally, he was almost a blur on the water's surface, so fast that even the shadowy figures beside him couldn't catch a glimpse of him with the naked eye.

However, the Three-Tails, standing like an iron mountain on the lake, reflected his figure in its bright yellow pupils, locking onto Juzo Biwa, who was almost a blur on the lake surface, through dynamic vision that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Isobu opened its ferocious jaws, like a dark cave.

"Roar--!"

With a tremendous roar, the storm was compressed into a ball, and a massive, visible cloud of air burst forth instantly.

boom!
The lake surface surged and churned, as the gas cloud blasted a 'tunnel' through it.

The almost tangible wind-attribute air mass, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, accurately struck the afterimage that kept flashing and maneuvering as it approached on the lake's surface.

Boom!

The next moment, the air mass exploded, creating a sonic boom cloud visible to the naked eye.

A massive, ring-shaped sonic boom swept across all directions with near-destructive ferocity, causing the lake water to surge and churn, creating thousands of waves that seemed to be propelled by an invisible hand, spreading outwards at an extremely fast speed.

"Lord Juzo!"

The secret agents who came to provide support were forced back by the giant waves and could only shout anxiously from the outside.

In a battle of this magnitude, they couldn't get involved at all and could only watch helplessly. How could they not be anxious?
"I am Hibiki Juzo!"

A roar was heard, and then from the center of the explosion, Pipa Juzo, covered in blood, dragged his Executioner's Blade and charged at Isobu.

Instead of retreating, he accelerated even further, like a cannonball launched from a gun, leaving a trail of billowing air behind him. His terrifying momentum reached its peak, his killing intent condensed and refined to the point of being almost tangible. Wisps of dark, ghostly energy coiled around his heavy decapitation blade. "Die!!!"

This time, Juzo Biwa did not hesitate at all and poured all his strength into it.

Blood seeped into the Executioner's Blade, including his own will, spirit, and chakra. He had staked everything, and the slash he had gathered throughout his life was like a demon crawling out of hell, roaring and howling ferociously. With his conviction, he unleashed a strike powerful enough to cleave mountains!
Clang——!
The heavy blade was swung down with great force.

A simple, unadorned strike, yet it contained a lifetime of will and conviction, infused with a cruel and chilling killing intent, which actually cleaved the air into an abyss.

The chilling blade light rippled through the air, accompanied by rolling waves of air. It looked like a giant dragon lurking in the abyss, suddenly taking off and swinging its massive body. Its scarlet eyes were filled with killing intent as it suddenly swooped down!

The Three-Tailed Isobu let out a low growl, as if sensing a threat.

Its flat, enormous tail lashed through the air like a steel whip, gathering power to strike at Juzo Biwa.

Crack!

The power of the tailed beasts was terrifying; the air was whipped around, creating ear-piercing sonic booms.

The hard tail, covered with thorns and carapace, collided and clashed with the rolling, chilling blade light in mid-air.

Boom! ! !

The moment the two collided, a terrifying explosion seemed to pierce the sky.

The deafening clang of metal against metal resounded across the entire lake in an instant, and even the blizzard seemed to pause in its throes.

Then, a boiling gale roared, whipping up visible shockwaves that swept across the area with unstoppable force. Wherever it passed, the lake water churned, the ice shattered, and the nearby members of the Dark Guard felt as if they had been struck in the chest, and were thrown backward by the shockwave.

Pipa Juzo was sent flying backward like a shooting star, dragging splattered blood as he slammed into the broken ice.

In contrast, Isobu Mitsuo had a clearly visible scar on his forehead.

"Roar!!!"

Having been injured by a mere mortal, Isobu was clearly enraged. He awkwardly propped himself up on his limbs, his head held high.

"Ten Treasures!"

Kurozuki Raiya's eyebrows twitched, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "Get out of the way!"

"cough cough cough cough"

However, given his current state, Hibiki Juzo simply couldn't do it.

Using the decapitation blade, he pushed himself up from the ground, blood streaming down his forehead, his vision gradually blurring, and an unprecedented weakness making it difficult for him to even stand.

"It sounds like someone is calling me?"

Pipa Juzo couldn't hear very clearly; he felt as if his five senses were slowly drifting away from him.

"Danger! Get out of there right now, Juzo!"

Raiga Kurosuki could no longer keep watch and ran wildly toward Juzo Biwa, shouting and waving his hands frantically as he ran, trying to alert the other to the danger.

"Danger?"

Pipa Juzo paused for a moment, then turned around to look behind him.

The colossal beast, as large as a mountain, held its head high, and high-density chakra was constantly gathering in its mouth.

One after another, deep purple and light blue spheres, compressed with high density, continuously merged towards the center, eventually forming a chakra sphere several meters in diameter, with a deep black exterior, emanating a strong ominous and destructive aura.

"Tailed Beast Ball?"

As Juzo Biwa stared at the enormous black sphere, a chill ran through him.

Is that the legendary 'Tailed Beast Ball'?
