Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 204 As everyone knows, Obito is brainless.
The screams that rose and fell made Mei Terumi, who had been secretly following from a distance, twitch. However, under the cover of night, and with a thick fog shrouding the area ahead, she couldn't see the battle situation in the distance at all.

"Loquat Juzo... is he really that amazing...?"

Hearing the faint screams coming from the thick fog, Mei Terumi was puzzled and couldn't help but frown and mutter to herself, "This time, even the Mizukage himself has come out, and he's brought more than thirty Kirigakure ANBU. It should be easy for him to besiege Juzo Biwa. All Juzo Biwa can do is probably turn around and run away, not fight back."

"But now it seems he not only retaliated, but also killed many Kirigakure ANBU members and seriously injured many others. Has his strength improved so quickly in the years since he defected?"

Just then, Mei Terumi noticed that a gust of wind seemed to rise out of nowhere from the thick fog in the distance, and the howling wind blew away a large amount of fog.

“…Wind Release?!” Mei Terumi frowned even more, because she remembered information about Juzo Biwa.

Pipa Juzo's greatest strengths are close-quarters combat techniques and water-style techniques.

This former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen doesn't seem to be skilled in Wind Release, does he?
Just as her doubts subsided, the fog in the distance completely dissipated, and under the not-so-bright moonlight, Mei Terumi vaguely saw the extremely terrifying scene in the distance.

This caused the pupils in her beautiful eyes to suddenly contract.

"This is……"

Within Mei Terumi's line of sight—a vast expanse of dark, twisted, and bizarrely shaped thorns covered an area of ​​at least a thousand meters in radius, causing many houses in the village to be entangled in the thorns.

One after another, the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU ninjas were trapped in the thicket of thorny bushes.

Some of the thorns were hung high, their scarlet blood flowing down, their eyes already lifeless; others were tightly bound by a large number of thorns, the sharp thorns piercing their bodies, leaving bloody holes.

Some reacted quickly, using their ninja swords to slash at the thorns and spikes that were wrapping around them, clearing out a small "safe zone" with all their might, before looking around with lingering fear.

Seeing his companions scattered around him, some seriously injured and others dead on the spot, he was shocked and terrified.

Zabuza Momochi was already drenched in sweat.

His mask was torn by a thorn that suddenly pierced the ground, revealing half of his face covered by the mask. The skin on his face also appeared to have been cut, and blood was slowly flowing out.

He was slightly out of breath and still felt a lingering fear.

His companions on either side of him were in a different state. One of them was riddled with thorns and splinters, while the other was making strange "hoarse" noises. Turning his head, he saw that the other's carotid artery had been slashed, and his body was now convulsing, barely breathing.

Zabuza Momochi realized it was only for a fleeting instant.

Half of the thirty-odd elite Anbu ninjas from Kirigakure have already been lost!
Of the remaining half, almost none of the Mist Shadows were completely unharmed; most had some scratches or abrasions.

And the one who started all of this was Pipa Juzo's companion!
"Could this be... the legendary Wood Release...?"

Zabuza Momochi's gaze passed over the layers of intertwined thorns and spikes, his solemn, wary, and apprehensive eyes landing on Izumi Uchiha not far away.

"Could this be... a Konoha ninja!"

Zabuza Momochi finally understood why his senior, Juzo Biwa, dared to openly return to the Land of Water after defecting from Kirigakure.

It turns out that the other party has already latched onto Konoha Village's coattails, or rather, the other party has already joined Konoha Village!

This made Zabuza Momochi frown deeply.

to be honest……

He didn't harbor much hostility towards Juzo Biwa; in fact, he even admired him somewhat. This was because Zabuza Momochi also felt that the Blood Mist Village was beyond saving; every extra day he spent there made him feel uneasy, and the village's dire state and internal strife were too much for him to bear.

But if Juzo Biwa had merely defected from Kirigakure and relied on his own strength to fight off Kirigakure's pursuit, that would have been fine.

However, Zabuza Momochi felt that the other party's act of joining Konoha was a cowardly act.

"Have the former Seven Heroes of the Might and Magic fallen to this level?"

Zabuza Momochi wiped the blood off his face.

He muttered to himself in disappointment.

……

the other side.

Having taken in all of this, Yagura Karatachi frowned deeply. He glanced again at the Hidden Mist Anbu members trapped amidst a thicket of thorns and spikes, and shouted, "Why are you stopping? This is the Land of Water! Not a place for outsiders to run rampant!"

His tone turned cold, and a faint red glint seemed to flash deep within his eyes, completely suppressing the barely perceptible struggle. He shouted with murderous intent, "Keep going! Kill him!"

The Mizukage's orders forced the remaining Kirigakure ANBU ninjas to grit their teeth and cooperate in using various water-style ninjutsu.

In an instant, a large amount of water surged through the thicket of thorns, completely shattering the not particularly hard and sturdy dark thorns.

The Kirigakure members, having regained their freedom, immediately scattered in all directions.

They all maintained what they considered a safe distance from Uchiha Ikezumi, and subtly surrounded Uchiha Ikezumi and the others.

The air was thick with the stench of blood from their comrades' corpses, and the suppressed screams of severely wounded Kirigakure ANBU ninja echoed through the air.

This caused a little sweat to seep from the palms of every person hidden in the misty shadows.

Pipa Juzo looked around and glanced at the Kirigakure ANBU ninjas who were no longer concealing their identities.

Although most of the people were still wearing their masks, Pipa Juzo could still vaguely recognize some of them.

Juzo Biwa coldly said, "You lot, are you really going to offer your so-called loyalty to a Mizukage who's already been controlled? Your loyalty is laughable in the eyes of the mastermind behind it all. Do you know that everything you're doing now isn't for Kirigakure, but for the mastermind controlling the Mizukage?"

"Wake up, all of you! The mastermind behind this is only interested in manipulating Kirigakure and plunging the village into endless internal strife until the entire village disappears into the annals of history! In his eyes, you are all just a bunch of foolish pawns!"

"No...you're not even pawns. In the eyes of the mastermind, you're just playthings to be manipulated. Everything he does is to make you suffer and die in despair!" Instead of playing the riddle-maker, Biwa Juzo directly revealed the truth he knew to this group of Kirigakure ANBU.

Most of the members of the Hidden Mist Dark Division remained unmoved, merely gripping their weapons with murderous intent.

A small number of people were taken aback.

This includes Zabuza Momochi.

This small group of people even looked towards Yagura Karatachi behind them—because in their eyes, the Mizukage's style of doing things was indeed somewhat different from before.

most of the time……

It's like he's become a completely different person.

"Juzo, stop making this futile struggle. I am the perfect Jinchūriki of Kirigakure. Jinchūriki cannot be controlled by the Sharingan. Are you treating the Kirigakure Anbu like fools?"

Yagura Karatachi spoke, his gaze sweeping over the several Kirigakure ANBU members and fixing on Juzo Biwa, continuing, "They are all Kirigakure's elite, having dedicated their lives to the village. Your verbal attacks will not sway their hearts."

Pipa Juzo laughed: "Uchiha Ikezumi was right after all. Uchiha Obito is a brainless guy. The only reason he became one of the masterminds behind the chaos in the ninja world is because there are many real masters helping him, acting as his external brain."

"Lord Mizukage, when did I say you were controlled by the Sharingan? How do you know so much? I think... the person speaking to me right now isn't the Lord Mizukage, is he? After all, the Mizukage is certainly a smart person."

"Am I right, Obito Uchiha?"

Pipa Juzo's words caused Yagura Karatachi, whose expressionless face was slightly taken aback.

This time.

Even the vast majority of the Kirigakure Anbu who had remained indifferent before couldn't help but turn their heads, keeping an eye on Uchiha Ikezumi and the others while looking at Yagura Karatachi behind them.

"nonsense!"

Yagura Karatachi let out a cold snort, his eyes now filled with intense killing intent. He stepped forward, gripping his black hook club: "The words of a rogue ninja who betrayed the village have no credibility whatsoever!"

The words fell.

A visible mass of tailed beast chakra had already emerged from the surface of Yagura's body, and the ground beneath his feet had begun to crack slightly, with tiny pebbles pulsating gently under the influence of the tailed beast chakra.

"Come with me!"

Yagura, whose body wasn't particularly tall, suddenly burst forward, his speed so fast that only a blur could be seen.

Logically, he should have executed Kirigakure's rogue ninja, Juzo Biwa, first.

however.

Yagura Karatachi, however, charged directly at Izumi Uchiha!

"Kill the people of Konoha first!"

With a fierce shout, he swung the coral staff in his hand at Uchiha Ikezumi's head with lightning speed, giving the impression that he was going to smash Uchiha Ikezumi's entire head open.

Uchiha Ikezumi leaned back slightly.

The coral stick almost grazed the tip of his nose.

"Watch out for his Tailed Beast Chakra!" Juzo Biwa hurriedly warned, "His Tailed Beast Chakra can make coral grow on the enemy's body!"

next moment.

Uchiha Izumi drew his ninja sword from its sheath, and the speed of his slash was much faster than that of Yagura Karatachi!

Before Yagura launched his second offensive.

The extremely sharp blade was already close to Yagura's throat!
Ding--

Ding--

Two Kirigakure ANBU members rushed over to help Yagura parry Uchiha Ikezumi's attack with his ninja sword. Yagura then changed his stance, thrusting his staff towards Ikezumi's heart.

Bang! ! !
The coral rod pierced directly through Uchiha Izumi's heart, the terrifying heat of the magma attempting to melt it.

However, the tailed beast chakra wrapped around the coral rod rapidly multiplied into a large amount of extremely heat-resistant coral.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Ikezumi's chest was covered in coral.

A slight smile just appeared on Yagura's lips.

In an instant, Uchiha Ikezumi's body suddenly collapsed into a pool of lava.

The scorching air above made Yagura's scalp throb.

Yagura's pupils contracted.

He quickly looked up.

A giant magma fist, hundreds of meters in diameter, crashed down from above Yagura's head with overwhelming force!
