In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 65: The Famous Scene of Slicing Through the Tailed Beast with a Sword

I will take responsibility in the future!

This is the content of the note that Chiya left on the money box.

Chiya stood guard on the high ground opposite the hotel for a full half hour, watching Tsunade and Shizune carry money boxes out of the hotel, and then see the two of them walk into the casino as if nothing had happened.

Only then did he feel at ease and leave, arriving at the meeting place he had agreed upon with Black Zetsu.

Here is a straight highway, with endless rice paddies on both sides.

It is the only way from the Land of Fire to Tanabata Town.

"It looks like you didn't get a good rest last night." The giant pitcher plant slowly emerged from the ground. This was the first time Black Zetsu had seen Qianye looking so listless, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Not bad, I had a few drinks. So, did Afei agree?"

Qianye casually changed the subject.

He didn't just not get enough rest; he actually rested way too much.

That situation was unforgettable.

It was definitely the most dangerous battle he had ever fought in his life.

Even now, his lower back is still slightly sore.

"As long as Pipa Juzo doesn't betray the organization, Tobi won't mind having several elite Jonin from Amegakure," Black Zetsu replied.

"That's good." Qianye nodded.

As the two were talking, a procession of ninjas and samurai carrying a Japanese-style palanquin entered from the road ahead.

"Looks like we've reached our objective. Now it's up to you." As soon as Black Zetsu finished speaking, the giant pitcher plant slowly merged into the ground and disappeared.

"They really know how to order people around." Qianye stood in the middle of the road and adjusted her wind chime hat.

With a symbolic hand seal formed by his right hand, a loud bang was heard, the smoke dissipated, and several shadow clones shot out out of thin air, turning into afterimages and rushing towards the end of the road.

A short while later, the sound of fighting came from the end.

The sounds of fighting came and went quickly.

It quieted down soon after.

The Tanbata Street mission has now been successfully completed.

late at night.

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village, the Water Shadow's Residence.

Standing atop a giant tree, Qianye listened to the screams that occasionally echoed from within the mansion and murmured, "Looks like we've made it."

"So what do you plan to do next?" Black Zetsu asked as the giant pitcher plant emerged from a nearby tree trunk.

"Do nothing. It's not too late to make a move at the crucial moment." Qianye smiled faintly, turning his head to Hei Zetsu and said, "But that guy Afei is really cunning. Just to test the ability of Dai Xiaozi's right eye Mangekyou Sharingan, he knew it was a trap, yet he still gave Biwa Juzo and Dai Xiaozi such a task."

"Their objective is similar to my previous mission in Tanabata: to assassinate the crown prince who is a potential successor to the daimyo throne. Because ninja villages cannot interfere with the succession of the throne, they often hire powerful assassin organizations like Akatsuki."

"Yet the Fourth Mizukage deliberately placed the Crown Prince in his own residence. Then he personally led an ambush around the area. Isn't this blatantly using someone else to do his dirty work, luring them into a trap, and killing two birds with one stone at the end?"

"Or perhaps, the Fourth Mizukage has actually been controlled by Tobi's Sharingan? Otherwise, why would he be so obedient? Everything is going according to his script."

Black Zetsu was secretly surprised when it heard Qianye's words. It did not expect that Obito's plan would be so easily guessed and seen through by Qianye.

Just then, Juzo Biwa and Itachi Uchiha, who were inside the mansion, also sensed something was wrong. After dealing with their mission targets, they rushed out of the Mizukage's mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the ninja who had been lying in ambush nearby, led by the Fourth Mizukage Yagura and specializing in hunting down traitors from Kirigakure, surrounded them.

The two sides engaged in a chase and a flight.

Biwa Juzo used the Mist Concealment Technique to try and distract Yagura and the pursuing ninjas, but it was easily dispersed by Yagura's "Wind Release: Typhoon Passing".

Before long, the two were surrounded by Yagura and the pursuing ninja forces.

Seeing this, Qianye couldn't help but feel excited, thinking to himself, "It's here, it's here, the famous scene of splitting the Tailed Beast Ball with a sword is finally coming."

The following scene was not much different from the original work. Juzo first used his water clone to distract the pursuing ninja, and then Itachi took the opportunity to use genjutsu and shuriken to help Juzo eliminate all the pursuing ninja.

Even the only remaining Fourth Mizukage was engulfed by Itachi's Great Fireball.

However, Itachi was still a novice and too young, and he did not expect that Yagura would be able to complete the tailed beast transformation.

He was caught off guard and struck by Yagura's Coral Palm, his entire body covered in coral, rendering him unable to move.

Pipa Jūzō swung his Executioner's Blade, intending to cut off the coral reef binding Itachi and free him from his restraints.

However, before he could finish his attack, Yagura on the other side had already begun to build up his Tailed Beast Ball.

"That's a Tailed Beast Ball. Although it's not the complete Three-Tails form, it's still deadly enough. What do you plan to do?" Black Zetsu had seen everything below and turned to look at Chiyo, only to find that Chiyo had disappeared without a trace.

"White Zetsu, where did Chiya go?" Black Zetsu was suddenly startled. He had clearly sensed Chiya's chakra just moments before, so how could she have vanished without a trace? He hadn't even noticed how she disappeared.

Within its perception range, he seemed to vanish into thin air, completely disappearing from sight.

"I didn't notice either." Bai Jue was equally surprised.

Just then, Yagura finally moved, unleashing a Tailed Beast Ball from his mouth, which shot fiercely towards Biwa Juzo and Itachi.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Juzo Biwa gritted his teeth and, just like in the original story, didn't abandon Itachi and run away.

Instead, he roared and swung his decapitation sword at the Tailed Beast Ball.

boom.

The decapitation sword broke.

Although they withstood most of the impact of the Tailed Beast Ball, Itachi and Biwa Juzo were still affected.

His body flew backward like a cannonball towards the big tree behind him.

The severed blade was thrust towards Pipa Shizang's vitals.

At the critical moment, Chiya, who had already used the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique and predicted the trajectory of the blade with Observation Haki, suddenly appeared.

Just as the blade was about to pierce Shizang's vitals, he grabbed Shizang's shoulder and instantly teleported to Jue's side.

Looking at the blade again, after the dust from the Tailed Beast Ball explosion dissipated, it transformed into the image of Biwa Juzo, who had been struck in a vital spot by the Executioner's Blade and was on the verge of death.

"How did you do that?" Black Zetsu looked at Qianye with a look of horror. In a daze, the scene of Qianye faking his death on the night of the massacre was repeated once again.

However, this time the faked death was not aimed at Qianye himself, but at Pipa Shizang.

Even Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan failed to see through this.

"You haven't forgotten my title back in Konoha, have you? My true specialty isn't ninjutsu or taijutsu, but genjutsu. I just used a simple genjutsu," Chiya said dismissively.

At this moment, Pipa Shizang, who had just narrowly escaped death, also came to his senses, looking at Qianye and Jue with horror and confusion, "Qianye... and Jue... why are you..."

Pipa Shizang wanted to ask Qianye why she suddenly appeared, and why she saved him.

It should be noted that, because of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Senya was even more infamous than Itachi Uchiha in the outside world, and was hailed as the most vicious criminal in Konoha after Madara Uchiha.
