Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Otherwise, the first village Li Yao should have looked for was Iwagakure and Ōnoki.

After all, it was Ōnoki who caused the most harm to Li Yao.

This made the Third Mizukage somewhat uncertain that the attacker was Li Yao.

It was a pity that the Third Mizukage did not know about the destruction of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Water at this time, otherwise he would have determined that the attacker was Li Yao.

But at this moment, it doesn’t matter who the attacker is.

The only thing the Third Mizukage could do was to rescue more villagers, let them hide in the underground cover base, and withstand the enemy's continuous clay explosion attacks.

Chapter 183: Taking Down the Water Shadow

"come on in!"

An entrance to an underground air-raid shelter. Mei Terumi is guarding outside, protecting the villagers as they go in.

Whoosh... Dozens of clay birds flew in from everywhere, heading straight for the entrance here and running towards the gathered villagers.

"Wind Escape-Big Breakthrough."

"Water Release-Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Earth Escape..."

The Kirigakure ninjas who were defending together with Mei Terumi used their own ninjutsu to resist the flying clay birds.

Mei Terumi also used the Lava Release Technique to stop the clay bird in advance.

Boom, boom, boom... Deafening explosions sounded around the entrance. The villagers looked nervous and frightened, but they were still orderly and quickly entered the underground entrance one by one.

"Damn it, is the enemy's perception ability so strong?!"

Mei Terumi tried her best, but she could only protect one entrance and she had no control over the other entrances to the underground air-raid shelter.

With Li Yao's soul perception, he could see the location of everyone in the Hidden Mist Village at a glance.

There are many powerful ninjas in Kirigakure, and many of Li Yao’s clay birds were actually intercepted.

But again, having a huge amount of chakra really allows you to do whatever you want.

Li Yao had more clay birds, and they could accurately find places where there were many of them. They flew in from various directions, making it difficult for them to defend themselves.

For a time, the Hidden Mist Village suffered heavy casualties.

Compared to Kumogakure, Kirigakure has too few Lightning Style ninjas, and facing the dense attacks of clay bird bombs, too few people can resist.

Of course, the main reason is the difference in abilities between the Mizukage and the Raikage.

The Mizukage's perception ability was not strong enough, and his speed was not fast enough. He could only look at where there were more clay birds falling from the sky, and use Water Style Black Lotus to intercept them there, but his speed was too slow.

Li Yao was able to control the clay bird to bypass the black lotus attack, but the Mizukage was unable to control the black lotus to keep up.

The Third Raikage was extremely fast in the air, and his black thunder attack not only had a wide range, but was also powerful enough to easily break through the wind jutsu that Li Yao had used to cover the clay bird, rendering the clay bird ineffective.

The Third Mizukage had chakra of water, earth and wind attributes and was not good at lightning escape, so he could only increase his chakra input and create a larger range of black lotus to intercept Li Yao's clay bird attack.

And this is obviously what Li Yao wants to see.

If you want to take down the Third Mizukage without exposing his Wood Release, Dust Release, Black Iron Chains and other sealing techniques, it would be a bit troublesome to rely solely on physical skills to deal with his Water Release that was like black water.

But as long as a large amount of the Third Mizukage's chakra is consumed, Li Yao will have a great chance to assassinate and take down the Third Mizukage with one strike, relying on his unparalleled speed advantage in physical skills.

High in the sky, Li Yao sensed the amount of chakra in the Third Mizukage's body. When it dropped to a weak level, it would be time for him to take down the Third Mizukage.

Just when the Third Mizukage's chakra was almost at the critical point for a move, Li Yao was about to make a move when White Zetsu's figure suddenly appeared outside the Mist Village and he sensed it immediately.

Bai Jue also believed that Li Yao would sense him at the first moment.

"What do you mean?"

"To stop me from killing the Mizukage?"

"Still have a mission?"

White Zetsu didn't come earlier or later, but showed up at the moment when he was about to attack the Third Mizukage, which made Li Yao have more speculations in his mind.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Li Yao didn't want to miss out on the Third Mizukage's special water escape technique and water transformation technique.

So Li Yao pretended not to notice the appearance of Bai Zetsu. With a thought, he changed his facial contours, then used clay to condense a white mask and put it on his face, then jumped down instantly.

Bai Jue's face instantly turned cold when he sensed this scene.

"Li Yao...I remember it!"

Suppressing the urge to activate the curse and kill Li Yao, Bai Jue decided in his heart that after rescuing his mother, he would torture this disobedient kid.

On the Mizukage Building, the Sandaime Mizukage used all his strength to control the black water to intercept Li Yao's clay bird. Behind him, six Anbu guards were alert to the surroundings and the sky.

But until Li Yao landed from the air behind the Sandaime Mizukage, the six Anbu still stood vigilantly and motionless.

Obviously, they had been trapped by Li Yao's illusion.

At this time, the Sandaime Mizukage was concentrating on controlling the black water and did not even notice Li Yao, whose chakra was not leaking a single bit.

When it comes to hiding his own aura and chakra fluctuations, Li Yao has absolute chakra control. He once made the Konoha Anbu think he was a dead puppet, thus arousing the suspicion of the Third Generation. He is the ninja in the ninja world who is best at hiding his aura and chakra fluctuations except for Madara and White Zetsu.

It is understandable that the Mizukage, who was concentrating on controlling Black Water and trusting his Anbu guards behind him, could not sense Li Yao's presence.

But failing to sense a being as powerful as the Third Raikage's speed would surely be fatal.

Li Yao fell without any hesitation.

boom!

Li Yao squatted slightly, then burst out with all his strength and rushed towards the Third Mizukage in an instant.

"not good!!!"

I have to say that the Mizukage is worthy of being the Mizukage. None of the Kages of the five hidden villages are weak, and none of them have obvious weaknesses.

Mizukage reacted very quickly. The moment he noticed the movement behind him, he had no time to look back. He just thought about it and condensed a wall of black water behind him.

If it had been anyone else, the attack would have failed.

The defensive power of Black Water can slow down the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

As long as the Third Mizukage is given a little time, he will be able to react and not give the attacker a chance to attack again.

Unfortunately, Li Yao is not an ordinary person.

"Snapped!"

The quickly condensed black water did not cause any delay to Li Yao's fist. It was like a balloon being pierced by a bullet, and it exploded instantly under the terrifying force and speed of Li Yao's fist.

"boom!"

Li Yao's fist landed on the back of the Third Mizukage. In an instant, a terrifying force exploded, forming a terrifying shock wave that penetrated the Third Mizukage's body. In front of him, a fan-shaped shock wave with a range of 100 meters blasted out in front of the Mizukage Building.

Snapped!

The Third Mizukage's body was blown away, but before he landed on the ground, Li Yao, who had followed him, grabbed his neck and lifted him up in the air. The black iron chain instantly penetrated from Li Yao's palm into the Third Mizukage's body and sealed his chakra, preventing him from using the water transformation technique to escape. At the same time, the perception deprivation technique followed up and completely captured the Third Mizukage.

At this time, the Third Mizukage did not die after enduring Li Yao's terrifying punch, and he still remained a little conscious.

The moment he felt the black iron chains invading his body, a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

"It's you!!!"

The Third Mizukage let out a fearful roar in his heart, and then his consciousness fell into darkness and he passed out.

Li Yao grabbed the Third Mizukage's neck, and after landing, he jumped up with force, landed on the back of the clay bird that came to pick him up, and flew towards White Zetsu.

"Put down Mizukage-sama!"

"asshole!!"

From the back, Mei Terumi, who had just seen the Mizukage being defeated by Li Yao, rushed over instantly, mobilizing all her chakra to use a terrifying Lava Release from a distance of several hundred meters.

The hot lava swept towards Li Yao like a huge curtain of water.

Li Yao and Xiao Ye, who had not yet flown high into the sky, were just covered by the lava.

Facing the surging lava, Li Yao turned around, holding the Sandaime Mizukage in one hand, raised his other hand, raised his index finger, and swiped downwards.

Teng!

In an instant, a highly compressed white wind blade slashed towards the lava.

Stab it!

The lava was like a piece of red tofu that was instantly cut apart by the enlarged wind blade. It lost its power and fell to both sides, passing by Li Yao on both sides.

Boom!

The wind blade that cut through the lava did not disappear, but instead grew larger and larger, finally slashing towards Mei Terumi.

It all happened very quickly, and in an instant, Mei Terumi found that her attack was cut off and a huge wind blade flew towards her.

At this moment, her chakra was exhausted and she was no longer able to perform ninjutsu to defend herself.

Physical skills aren't her strong point.

Just as she was about to be unable to avoid the attack, a figure suddenly appeared and knocked her out, saving her.

When Mei Terumi came to her senses, she saw a deep ravine a hundred meters long exposed in front of her, and the person who saved her had turned into a pool of meat paste with splatter all around.

Mei Terumi stared blankly in the direction where Li Yao was flying away. From the corner of her eye she could still see Li Yao's tall back, his shoulder-length black hair, and the Sandaime Mizukage who was holding his neck in his hands.

She was so frightened for a moment that she did not chase after the Third Mizukage to rescue him.

She was frightened by the power of Li Yao's casual wind escape attack.

Faced with such an enemy, how could she save Lord Mizukage?

"Hurry, don't let that guy get away!"

"Save Mizukage-sama!!"

"Now it's time for us to protect the Mizukage-sama!"

The shouts of her companions woke up Mei Terumi. She instantly tensed her mind and regained her faith on her face.

That's right.

If it weren't for the fact that Mizukage-sama had been protecting the village and expended a huge amount of chakra, the enemy's sneak attack would have been impossible.

A despicable and shameless villain.

I won't be afraid of you.

Mei Terumi regained her faith and stood up again to chase in the direction Li Yao flew away.

Chapter 184 Bai Jue Questions

"bump!"

The faith that they had picked up was shattered again when a figure fell and hit the ground. Terumi Mei and her companions from the Hidden Mist came to the figure and looked at the soft flesh that had been smashed into a bloody mess. They could still tell who the figure was from the torn clothes, and they were all shocked.

"Mizukage-sama..."

died!

No one expected that the death of Mizukage-sama would come so suddenly and so unexpectedly.

They still didn't know the identity of their attacker, and the Mizukage-sama died right in front of them.

"asshole!!!"

"Don't run!"

The angry Kirigakure was completely furious. No one could sit idly by and watch an enemy who killed the shadow of their village escape safely in front of them. Even if this enemy was very powerful, they were not afraid.

Mei Terumi was also very angry and followed everyone else.

"Just look after Mizukage-sama, and leave the enemies to us."

The older Kirigakure ninja has a stronger psychological endurance. He has not forgotten the gap in strength between himself and the enemy. The young people who can come here are the future pillars of the village with great potential, and they cannot be allowed to take risks.

Faced with the reasons given by the older Kirigakure ninjas, young ninjas such as Mei Terumi had no choice but to stop looking after the body of the Mizukage, even though they were unwilling.

After all... even if Lord Mizukage is dead, his body is still very important to Kirigakure and there can't be any mistakes.
