Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

what?

Is the Mizukage being controlled by someone else?

This was an utterly unacceptable fact, yet the person who uttered these words was none other than the most prestigious Yuan Master in the village.

It truly plunged these Mist Ninjas into deep confusion.

"Yuan Shi has betrayed the village! All Mist Ninja, heed my command: immediately surround and annihilate the traitor Yuan Shi!"

Even though he knew the situation was out of control, Obito still wanted to make one last effort. At the same time, Yagura, who was controlling Karatachi, issued an order that left the Kirigakure ninja even more confused.

Whose words should they believe?

These Mist Ninjas all arrived with hesitant expressions.

A significant number of the Kirigakure ninja intended to observe from the sidelines for a while, but there were still some truly loyalists personally trained by the Fourth Mizukage. They did not believe that the Mizukage, as the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast, could be controlled by others. In other words, they believed that their Mizukage, Genji, was the one who betrayed the village!

Therefore, these loyal Mizukage ninja all showed resolute expressions.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Hidden Mist Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Following the orders of Yagura Goji, they launched a powerful attack on the location of the master and the general who had leaped out into the air! (Tani Akihiro)

Meanwhile, the most loyal Mist Ninja to Master Yuan launched a counterattack immediately.

"Do not harm them; try your best to capture them alive!"

Even at this moment, Master Yuan still hoped to preserve as much vitality as possible for his own ninja village. Every time a Kirigakure ninja died here, it was a blow to their Kirigakure. So he immediately shouted these words to Ao, as well as Terumi Mei and Seki, who had just arrived.

The three of them immediately understood.

Seki was in charge of commanding the battle on this side, while Terumi Mei and Ao each flashed toward their respective Mizukage, who had already entered a half-tailed beast form, or more precisely, toward Obito, who was wearing a spiral mask and dark blue clothing, and was closely following Yagura Karatachi.

There's no need to say it explicitly.

At that moment, seeing the Sharingan emanating from that single hole, Mei Terumi and Ao could easily see that the person before them was controlling their Mizukage!

'Damn Uchiha!'

'You're unforgivable! You'll pay the price!'

At this moment, including the commanders who joined the battle the earliest, and even the entire Uchiha clan, they were all filled with resentment towards these two. Their Hidden Mist Village had already had the most intense clashes with the Uchiha clan during the Third Shinobi World War, and this time it was a combination of new and old grudges. They didn't care what Obito's identity or stance was; as long as he was from the Uchiha clan, that was all that mattered!

Even if Shoji's facial features do match Mei Terumi's beauty criteria, he's not the kind of 'stupid idiot' whose values ​​are dictated by his looks!

Mei Terumi and Ao looked quite aggressive.

Obito, however, didn't take it seriously at all.

At this time, Mei Terumi was at most a quasi-Kage level existence. No matter how strong her Lava Release and Boil Release were, it would be difficult for her to pose any danger to Obito or Yagura in his half-tailed beast form, not to mention Ao.

This is just an ordinary Jonin. That's right, he has no special talents. He is a model of an ordinary person who has grown up slowly through hard work, diligence, and gradual accumulation. His Byakugan is even less likely to have any impact on the battle.

Obito's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Shoji, who was enveloped in a ball of lightning and charging toward him. This was someone he was already on full alert for, after their clash a few days ago.

I will take a break for a while and adjust my plans to deal with him. But I didn’t expect that he would come knocking on my door before I even made a move. Although I couldn’t figure out how Shoji knew that I controlled the Mizukage, was hiding in Kirigakure, and how he got involved with Genji, none of that mattered anymore.

With their plans completely ruined, Kirigakure obviously had no way to stay any longer. So the only option was to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Fourth Mizukage before leaving!

This will not only bring greater damage to Kirigakure.

We also need to use this Three-Tails Jinchuriki to test the depth of Uchiha Shoji's eye power. Guessing is just guessing; we need stronger evidence to prove it.

'Let me see just how far you've come, Uchiha Shoji!'

A glint of crimson light flashed in Obito's pupils.

They also retreated at lightning speed in the first instant, ensuring that they would not give the general a second chance to use the 'Bisha Tenmon Technique'.

"Ow!"

The Mangekyou Sharingan in her pupils also shone with extremely bright colors.

Controlling Yagura Karatachi, he directly activated his complete tailed beast transformation, unleashing a terrifying surge of chakra.

A surging, sweeping trend.

"This is!?"

"Damn it, the Mizukage is about to fully transform into a tailed beast!"

Mei Terumi and Ao, who had just arrived at the nearest point, looked at their Mizukage's suddenly swollen figure with a look of horror.

This is their Hidden Mist Village!

"Ow!"

A deafening roar that was unrestrained.

"boom!"

The complete form of the Three-Tailed Isobu suddenly appeared at this moment, and the terrifying shockwaves it emitted caused the surrounding ground to collapse completely in an instant.

"what!?"

What is this?

"monster!?"

"No? This is a three-tailed beast?"

"Lord Mizukage?"

"When did foreign enemies invade?!"

"Run, run!"

The most unfortunate of the affected houses were crushed to death inside, their residents not even having a chance to escape. The aftershocks of the previous battle had already attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, and now that the fully-formed Three-Tails Isobu had appeared, it had drawn the attention of everyone in Kirigakure. Everyone looked at the Three-Tails' enormous size with fear, and a sense of panic spread throughout Kirigakure at this moment.

"How can it be repaired?"

Yuan Shi's old face showed a look of shock and anger. He was very clear about the deterrent and destructive power of the tailed beasts. The fact that the battlefield was still in Kirigakure Village was going to have an unimaginable negative impact!

"Quickly, evacuate the people immediately!"

This was originally an arrangement that Master Yuan had made in advance yesterday, but the unfolding of the process still exceeded Master Yuan's expectations.

If the Three-Tailed Isobu were to completely wreak havoc in Kirigakure...

The entire Hidden Mist Village will be mostly destroyed!

'Complete Tailed Beast Transformation? Hmph, so this is all you have left, Obito!'

Unlike the anxious mood of Genji, Mei Terumi, Ao, and the other Kirigakure members, Shoji remained unhurried. Looking at Obito, who kept his distance almost as soon as he approached, a hint of mockery appeared in Shoji's eyes. Of course, there was also a trace of regret. If the distance was not enough, it would be difficult to use his 'Bisha Tenmon Technique'. Against someone of Obito's level, it was absolutely impossible to pull him into his domain world at this distance.

'Looks like I'll have to look for a suitable opportunity to get close!'

Shoji looked at Obito in the distance, a cold glint in his eyes. Since the other side hadn't retreated immediately, he must be unwilling to accept defeat and might want to try to use the Three-Tails to test him further.

However, this also gives Jiang Si a certain opportunity.

but!

"Buzz!"

After seeing Yagura Karatachi undergo complete tailed beast transformation.

The Three-Tails Isobu was about to gather chakra to use the Tailed Beast Ball.

Shoji frowned. The sounds of panic coming from all directions, and the ordinary villagers of Kirigakure who had already died tragically under the massive body of the Three-Tailed Isobu, made Shoji unable to help but sigh inwardly.

Originally, this was the development that best served the interests of Iwagakure. Placing the battlefield in Kirigakure would weaken Kirigakure's strength as much as possible. However, as the saying goes, there is no right or wrong in war. Whether they are 'soldiers' or 'ninjas,' dying on the battlefield is a worthy death. But ordinary people should not be dragged into it.

Jiang Si still couldn't bear to see so many ordinary people die unnatural deaths. Although saying this might seem hypocritical to others, and could be seen as blatant hypocrisy, it was ultimately the last vestige of Jiang Si's inner conviction.

Just like the previous battle with Shennong.

'never mind!'

The four-cornered windmill was also reflected in Jiang Si's pupils.

The burst of scarlet color.

"Ow!"

A purple-gold halo spread out at the same rapid pace.

"This is!?"

Just as Mei Terumi and Ao were once again shocked, Shoji directly unleashed Susanoo, even activating it to its fourth form.

"Whoosh!"

The burst of chakra.

"boom!"

A surging, powerful momentum.

In an instant, Shoji arrived in front of the three-tailed Isobu, and the massive Susanoo struck with a single punch.

"boom!"

"Well!?"

The attack struck Isobu's massive head directly, forcefully dispersing the gathered chakra and rendering the Tailed Beast Ball ineffective.

then!

"Shh!"

As Susanoo's outstretched arms suddenly embraced the Three-Tailed Isobu, a burst of sharp lightning first erupted from them.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The pervasive atmosphere of noise and commotion.

As Isobu let out a painful scream.

With another forceful flick, amidst the surprised and delighted gazes of Genji, Mei Terumi, Ao, and the others, the Three-Tailed Isobu was fiercely sent flying towards the northeast, away from Kirigakure.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time.
