The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"Who exactly are you?"

Mei Terumi stared intently at the mysterious man, her sharp gaze seemingly trying to pierce through the mask and see his true face.

"My name is Uchiha Madara!"

Hyuga Zechen turned around, his only visible crimson Sharingan staring directly into the eyes of the Fifth Mizukage without any hesitation.

Obito Uchiha, far away at the Akatsuki base in the Land of Rain, sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Why would Madara Uchiha hide his true form and not dare to show his true colors?"

Yagura Karatachi also mentioned that the person who controlled him with genjutsu claimed to be Madara Uchiha, but as everyone knows, Madara died at the Valley of the End, so Mei Terumi is more inclined to believe that someone borrowed Madara's name.

Before long, the Hidden Mist Village was brightly lit, with the sound of wind breaking incessantly, and numerous Hidden Mist ninja had completely surrounded the area.

"Show me your white eyes, then surrender!"

Seeing that many Mist Ninja had surrounded her, Mei Terumi took a step forward and shouted loudly.

"With just this many people, you think you can control Kirigakure once and do it again!"

Mimicking Madara Uchiha's domineering tone, Hyuga Zechen completely ignored the Mist Ninja around him.

Hinata Sawatatsu's visit this time was not only to retrieve the Byakugan that had been left outside, but also to set his sights on the information related to the Kaguya clan stored in the Mizukage Building.

The bigger the commotion, the more attention it will attract from the Mist Ninja.

With a face full of anger, Mei Terumi placed her hands behind her back and made two hand gestures. Immediately, two ANBU rushed in, one on each side, and helped Ao up, preparing to move the injured person.

However, Qing's expression suddenly changed, and a kunai appeared in his hand. With a casual wave, he slashed the throats of two ANBU members, and then plunged it into his own heart.

"green!"

This change was completely unexpected for Mei Terumi. With most of her attention focused on guarding against Hyuga Sawa's attack, Mei Terumi had no time to stop Ao, who was under the control of the illusion, and could only watch helplessly as tragedy unfolded.

"He ruined my plans back then, how could I let him continue to live? It's a pity I couldn't ambush the Mizukage..."

Before Hinata Sawa could finish speaking, Terumi Mei could no longer contain her anger. She began to form hand seals, her lips slightly pursed.

Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique.

Chapter 87 Do you also want to dance?

Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique.

A pale white mist gushed from Mei Terumi's mouth, spreading out in a fan shape and enveloping Hinata Sawa in the blink of an eye.

Mei Terumi was born with the three chakra natures of fire, water, and earth, which she combined to create the two bloodline limits of Lava Release and Boil Release. Apart from the Jinchuriki, her strength was unmatched in Kirigakure, so with the support of the elders, she succeeded as the Fifth Mizukage.

Seeing that Hinata Sawatatsu remained unmoved amidst the intense acid mist, Mei Terumi's eyes flashed with a strange light. She immediately adjusted the concentration of the acid mist she was spraying, attempting to inflict powerful damage on the enemy.

However, time passed with each breath, and the expected scene of the enemy kneeling and vomiting blood did not occur, as if the corrosive acid mist had completely fallen into empty space.

The acid mist disappeared immediately after getting close to the other party?

Under the watchful gaze of Mei Terumi's emerald green eyes, a clue was quickly discovered in the flow of acid mist.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier around the opponent, absorbing all the acid mist from all directions and isolating them from the outside, so that Mei Terumi's skillful mist technique failed.

"The quality of films these days is really getting worse with each generation."

After Mei Terumi stopped her ineffective attack, Hinata Sawatatsu, hidden behind his mask, smiled and offered his comments.

"attack!"

The lord is disgraced and the minister dies. After discovering that the ninjutsu attack was ineffective, a boy with short blue hair and two sword hilts sticking out from his back gave an order, and more than ten Mist Ninjas simultaneously threw the shuriken in their hands, which shot towards Hyuga Sawatatsu from different directions.

Under the illumination of the lights, all the Mist Ninja, including Mei Terumi, could see clearly that all the shuriken were gradually swallowed up by the space when they were about an inch away from Hyuga Zetsu. It was as if an invisible giant beast had opened its mouth and swallowed all the ninja tools into its belly around Hyuga Zetsu.

Faced with such a bizarre ability, the Mist Ninja present all showed fear.

On the contrary, Mei Terumi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she already had a guess in her heart.

To verify this, Mei Terumi formed hand seals and puffed out her lips again. But this time, what spewed out of her red lips was not acid mist, but a thick, viscous, and highly corrosive liquid that flowed relatively slowly. As soon as it appeared in the air, it began to rise in wisps of white mist, clearly because the intense heat had evaporated the moisture in the air.

"It's here! Lord Mizukage's Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

Chojuro, standing to the side, adjusted his glasses, revealing a hint of excitement and confidence.

A thick, molten lava-like liquid poured down on Hyuga Zechen, only to be blocked by an invisible barrier of energy. And like the previous acid mist, the solution vanished bit by bit in mid-air before it could even reach the ground.

"This is... a space-time ninjutsu?"

The attack failed again, but Mei Terumi was absolutely certain that she had identified the source of Hinata Sawa's power.

The opponent clearly used space-time ninjutsu to redirect all attacks.

According to Yagura's intelligence, the mastermind behind him does indeed possess space-time ninjutsu. When attacks land on the opponent, they pass right through and land in empty space, as if the opponent were just a non-existent ghost.

"You got it right. To encourage you junior ninjas, I'll return all the attacks to you."

With a wave of his long sleeves, Hyuga Zechen caused the surrounding space to ripple like water. The ninja tools and acidic lava that had just disappeared shot out from the void, but their attack direction was completely reversed.

Ah!

The sudden rebound of the attack caught the surrounding Mist Ninja off guard. Some were hit by shurikens, while others had their flesh vaporized by the acid mist. A few unlucky ones were even drenched in lava, letting out short screams.

After the lava cooled into black igneous rock on the ground, the several Mist Ninjas completely disappeared, clearly having turned to ashes.

Having gained absolute control over a space, Hyuga Zetsu, referencing Kamui, directly opened an invisible spatial channel around his body that completely enveloped him, transferring all attacks into his own space. When needed, he would open the spatial channel according to the attack trajectory, creating a ninja world version of "using the enemy's own methods against them."

"Lord Mizukage, Chojuro requests permission to fight!"

Chojuro drew two ninja swords from behind his back and infused them with his own chakra.

Flounder - Liberation!

The ninja sword, wrapped in white bandages, was enveloped in blue light. The bandages broke apart inch by inch, revealing a giant sword that resembled a huge anchor and had a round hole at the front.

"Be careful, I'll cover you."

Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment, but it was immediately replaced by a resolute expression.

Since all ranged attacks have been in vain, the only option left is to try close combat to further probe the enemy's intelligence and weaknesses.

After all, the enemy not only broke into Kirigakure and stole the Byakugan, but also killed and wounded so many Kirigakure ninja. If they cannot be captured and their lives taken, Mei Terumi's authority and prestige as Mizukage will decline, or even disappear completely.

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

Chojuro, wielding the twin swords Hiramekarei, underwent a surprising transformation from his previously weak and scholarly demeanor. He charged forward several steps, then twisted his body and swung the twin swords Hiramekarei at Hyuga Sawatatsu in a horizontal slash.

Faced with the overwhelming horizontal slash, Hyuga Sawatatsu did not retreat but advanced, stepping into close range that Hiramekarei could not reach. He first gently lifted Chojuro's forearm, directly changing Hiramekarei's attack trajectory. Then, he slashed upwards from below, landing on Chojuro's wrist, causing Chojuro's five fingers to loosen and he could no longer hold Hiramekarei. The giant blade tumbled upwards and deeply slashed into the roof beam.

Such speed, such power.

The moment the thought crossed Chojuro's mind, he felt a sharp pain in his chest as Hyuga Zechen struck him in the ribs with his elbow. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"Chōjūrō!"

Mei Terumi looked at Chojuro flying backwards and let out a concerned exclamation.

As a genius ninja from Kirigakure, Chojuro was highly regarded by Mei Terumi and received special training from Kirigakure immediately after graduating from the ninja academy. After passing numerous tests, he became the third user of the twin swords Hiramekarei, and his strength had already reached the level of a Jonin.

However, Chojuro was defeated in just a few moves, causing Mei Terumi to begin to waver.

Could the other party really be Madara Uchiha?

Beneath the mask, Hinata Zechen revealed a satisfied expression.

Even though Toneri Otsutsuki had not undergone complete taijutsu training, the Otsutsuki clan's powerful physique completely made up for the lack of training. Combined with the Sharingan's extraordinary perception, he gained a significant advantage in taijutsu battles.

"Go together!"

Seeing Chojuro defeated, many Mist Ninja drew their kunai and charged toward Hyuga Sawatatsu with a shared sense of vengeance.

Do you want to dance too?

Facing the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Mist Ninja, Hyuga Zechen coldly spoke, then unleashed an astonishing chakra pressure, charging towards the Mist Ninja one against a hundred.

With a swift movement of his arm, Hyuga Zechen snatched a kunai. Each time he casually swung it, a Mist Ninja would cough up blood and fly backward, like a wolf among sheep, invincible in its path.

Chapter 88 Objective Achieved

"You bastard, stop right now!"

Mei Terumi's eyes widened in fury as she spat out a large amount of water from her red lips, which condensed into a lifelike and ferocious water dragon. The dragon opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, and with unparalleled precision, bypassed the attacking Mist Ninja and lunged at Hyuga Sawatatsu.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

You still dare to use ninjutsu attacks?

With a thought, the water dragon that was tearing at Hyuga Zechen seemed to plunge into another space and disappear in front of the many Mist Ninja.

The next moment, a water dragon, shaking its head, rushed out from in front of Hyuga Zechen, knocking more than ten Mist Ninjas wielding kunai flying backward and coughing up blood, tearing a huge gap in the encirclement.

Some of the Mist Ninja had already stopped, pleading with the enemy to cease their killing and rush out of the encirclement through the gap.

However, Hyuga Zetsu clearly felt the increasing compatibility between the spirit and Otsutsuki Toneri's body, so he was unwilling to give up these excellent targets. Instead of taking the opportunity to leave through the gap, he continued to swing his kunai and charge towards the Mist Ninja on the other side.

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, wishing she could personally rush forward and fight, but as a ninjutsu-type ninja, Mei Terumi was not good at taijutsu and could not use her weakness to defeat her strength.

If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were still alive, how could he be allowed to be so arrogant?

At this moment, Mei Terumi's longing for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist became stronger than ever before.

After defeating dozens more Mist Ninjas, Hyuga Zechen felt that the rate at which his compatibility was increasing had slowed down significantly. So he casually threw out a kunai stained with a lot of Mist Ninja blood, which passed through the chest of a Mist Ninja who was raising his long sword, pinning him firmly to the wall.

By this point, all the Mist Ninja who still dared to fight had fallen to the ground. Whenever Hyuga Zechen faced a particular direction, many Mist Ninja would instinctively take two steps back, their eyes darting away, unable to meet the enemy's gaze.

"It seems the Blood Mist policy hasn't produced any powerful and spirited ninjas; instead, it's left behind only a bunch of cowards..."

Hinata Zechen shook his head, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

Or rather, any Kirigakure ninja with any sense of justice were either wiped out by Obito or had already chosen to defect.

"Hand over the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, and I'll spare your Hidden Mist Village. Otherwise, before sunrise tomorrow, the Hidden Mist Village will cease to exist!"

Hearing that the masked man's target was actually the two tailed beasts of Kirigakure, Mei Terumi was both shocked and furious.

Each tailed beast is a strategic weapon of the five great ninja villages, and the importance of the jinchūriki is often second only to the kage of a village.

Why are the five great nations able to act so recklessly and disregard the will of numerous small ninja villages? Besides the fact that the strength of the great ninja villages surpasses that of the small nations, the deterrent effect created by the tailed beasts, powerful weapons on the battlefield, is also crucial.

Without a strong person to restrain the Jinchuriki, having a large number of ninjas becomes meaningless.
