Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

"No impact?" Tsunade frowned even deeper, but did not question what the slug said.

As a giant slug that has survived in the wet ancient forest for a thousand years, what it has seen and heard is far beyond what she, a human being, has, and their daily interactions are like those of both teacher and friend.

"Forget it, let's stick to the original plan and lead the team into the woods. At least we can't let him launch the Tailed Beast Balls at will!" Looking at the Mizukage getting closer and closer, Tsunade's expression gradually became solemn, and she talked to herself.

20 seconds later, because Tsunade ran towards Yagura using the wall under her feet, Seto Chihiro and Uchiha Mikoto successfully intercepted the four Mist Ninjas.

These Water Country ninjas, who had experienced the blood mist policy, saw that the people they intercepted were a woman and a child, as if they had seen interesting prey, with the corners of their mouths raised, giving people a cold and murderous feeling.

Facing such an enemy, Qianxun did not dare to be careless and entered the state of 'Arc of the Big Tree' again. She thought that this should be the third time she entered this state tonight, as if she had made up for all the wasted days before.

"Fire Escape. Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

"Star Explosion!"

It was a second goal. Before coming here, Mikoto had agreed with Seto Chihiro to use this move again.

"Water escape. Water formation wall!"

The dense fireballs in the air accurately blocked the two Mist Ninjas in front of them. They had to give up close pursuit and hide behind the water array wall used by their companions.

Bang!Bang!

"Damn woman, she actually hid an explosive talisman inside the fireball!"

The screams of the Mist Ninja rang out from the smoke, with a hint of pain in their voices. Three figures rushed out of the mist and glared at the two people in front of them.

An explosive talisman hidden inside a fireball? That should be my Star Blast... Seto Chihiro was a little confused. Didn't the other party hear him shout out the name of the skill?

"Fire Style. Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

Based on the principle of killing one first to relieve the burden of a Mist Ninja, Mikoto hurriedly used ninjutsu to finish off the opponent.

A Mist Ninja rushed out and quickly formed seals with both hands, trying to block the attack for his teammates: "Water Style. Water Array Wall."

The power of the Great Fire Dragon Technique released by the Uchiha clan should not be underestimated. The huge dragon head exudes an intense high temperature, breaking through the water formation wall of the Mist Ninja and heading straight for the target, accompanied by a scream of "Ah" in the flames.

Seto Chihiro looked at the scene in front of her, a little bit unbelieving: "Huh? Fire escape actually killed someone!"

Mikoto thought Chihiro was asking about the knowledge of chakra system, and she carefully acted as a commentator: "Although there are attribute restraints between chakras, this Mist Ninja's water formation wall is not as good as their Mizukage's, so it was broken through by my Fire Style in one go."

Seto Chihiro looked at Mikoto who kept explaining in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Obviously, due to the strong physical fitness of the ninja, they can hear the Mist Ninja talking when they are making hand seals, so the Mist Ninja can also hear Mikoto's explanation...

"A fire jutsu of this power? Are you from the Uchiha clan? Be careful, don't look into their eyes when fighting an Uchiha."

The Mist Ninjas are not unfamiliar with the Uchiha clan, and they even have experience in dealing with the Uchiha clan that other ninja villages do not have. As the ninja clan that is most skilled in Fire Release in the ninja world, the ordinary ninjas of the Mist Village are even more well-known to the Uchiha clan's Fire Release.

Especially in Konoha's previous war with the Hidden Mist Village, they had more opportunities to get to know each other.

Seeing the Mist Ninja coming up with knives, Mikoto did not panic. She took out a kunai and said calmly, "Chihiro, let me deal with the two men with knives. The ninja who released the Mist Ninja at the back will be left to you."

Bang!

Seto Chihiro did not use the "Star Blast" secretly. Taking advantage of the smoke produced by the explosion, he relied on his perception ability to avoid the two Mist Ninjas and attacked in the direction of the Mist Ninjas in the distance.

"Damn, it turned out to be the ninjutsu released by this brat."

"Ding~"

In the darkness, sparks flew.

"Little ghost, it seems that your swordsmanship is not very good."

The Mist Ninja felt the power coming from his hands and the way of holding the kunai in battle, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the attack was blocked, he could tell at a glance that the kid was not very suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

God still favors him, at least the enemies he encounters are not particularly strong...

Seto Chihiro didn't say anything. He was very confident in his physical fitness. He just needed to wait for the opponent's attack and find the right opportunity.

Time passed by minute by minute, and sparks kept flashing in the air.

"Give up. As an enemy who died in my hands, I will be gentle with you. I will take your share of the life..."

Taking advantage of the inexplicable sense of superiority that emerged while the other party was speaking, Chisho found the right moment and controlled the strength to punch the Mist Ninja in front of her.

Click!

A sharp pain in his arm interrupted the Mist Ninja's words.

The knife had already fallen from his arm. The Mist Ninja's lips trembled as he wanted to say something, but his pupils suddenly shrank and he instantly felt the same pain in his left arm as in his right arm.

"Okay, you can shut up now. At least for now, I still don't like killing people."

Seto Chihiro tore off the man's clothes and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I can only trouble you to bear with it for a while. At least you still have a chance to survive."

He stuffed the mouth of the Mist Ninja and broke both of his legs one after another. After seeing the opponent's appearance clearly under the moonlight, he remained on one side of the battlefield.

He didn't stuff it in very tightly, so it was easy to spit it out of his mouth, and at least he could scream out then.

......

Mikoto looked at the two Mist Ninjas in front of her breathlessly, took out a soldier's ration pill and put it in her mouth, slowly recovering her strength.

"Haven't you dealt with this woman yet?"

"That's easy for you to say. Why don't you fight the Uchiha? You're such a coward."

The two Mist Ninjas did not look back. They killed quite a few ninjas with strange bloodstains, especially those children who relied on the bloodstains to not grow up.

"Heh, then how did you let this kid run over here? Aren't you very powerful?"

One of the Mist Ninjas was about to turn around and teach this lawless newcomer a lesson, but he suddenly felt a pain in his arm.

"That's because..."

Click!

Click!

The two Mist Ninjas encountered something wrong and tried to escape, but were suddenly pulled back by a huge force.

"I'm sorry, please be patient!"

Under the horrified eyes of the two Mist Ninjas, it was treated in the same way and returned to the ground.

Seto Chihiro released the transformation technique and looked at Uchiha Mikoto in front of her: "Captain Mikoto, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Mr. Slug is always helping me with my treatment. Many of my injuries have gradually recovered."

Shaking her head, Mikoto took the slug out of her arms. Looking at the boy's skilled technique, she couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you kill that Mist Ninja either?"

Seto Chihiro had no intention of entering the Ultimate Darkness ahead of time: "I don't like killing people."

Mikoto nodded and didn't argue about it. It was not a good thing for such a young child to like killing people.

However, looking at the three Mist Ninjas on the ground who were still able to speak, she whispered, "Chihiro, can you hand these three people over to me?"

Chapter 46: Big Tree Arc vs Yagura (4000 words)

Uchiha Mikoto's thoughts are obvious. She believes that as long as she can let the village see the Uchiha clan's attitude towards the village in this war and change the barriers against the Uchiha clan, there will be no more rebellion within the clan.

But this idea seemed too naive to Chihiro.

If Konoha wanted to reconcile with the Uchiha clan, then Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have acquiesced to Danzo's move of the Uchiha clan away from the center of the village, allowing the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction with the village to continue to grow. He would not have seen the three-magatama Sharingan on the night of the Nine-Tails and thought that the Uchiha clan was planning a rebellion.

To put it bluntly, the Third Hokage determined that the Uchiha clan was responsible for this incident.

in other words.

If the Third Hokage really wanted to ease the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan on the night of the Nine-Tails, even if he saw the three-magatama Sharingan in the beast pupil, he would not only not think that the Uchiha clan was responsible for this incident, but would also think that this incident was caused by other villages trying to sow discord between the Uchiha and Konoha.

This will also strengthen the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan. Although Konoha lost some talents after the Night of the Nine-Tails, the cohesion within the village has increased.

Seto Chihiro did not intend to refuse Uchiha Mikoto's request, or it just suited his wishes: "Captain Mikoto, then these three people are left to you, I will go to assist Tsunade-sensei."

Uchiha Mikoto glanced at the three people twisting and turning on the ground, and gave Seto Chihiro a grateful look: "I will go with you to help Lady Tsunade!"

"Ninjutsu. Shadow Clone Technique!"

A clone that looked exactly like Mikoto appeared in the open space nearby.

Ignoring the painful expressions of the two Mist Ninjas on the ground, he tied them up in a strange posture and ran towards Shikaku as if he was picking up cargo.

Pulling the slug out of her arms, Mikoto looked worried: "Slug-sama, do you know where Tsunade-sama is? What's the situation now?"

"In order to prevent other Mist Ninja from assisting the Mizukage again, Lady Tsunade attracted the Mizukage's attention and brought him to the forest on the left side of this basin. He is now fending off Yagura's attack."

A rapid female voice came out of the slug's mouth, which made Chihiro and Mikoto feel uneasy.

After the two took out the few remaining food pills from their arms, they simply adjusted their state and, under the guidance of the slug, rushed towards Tsunade's location.

The evening breeze passed through the gaps in their hair, bringing a little coolness but did not ease their mood.

The roar coming from afar, the large amount of water vapor in the air, and the countless broken trees and puddles underfoot were enough to illustrate the severity of the battle...

As a medical ninja, Tsunade has strong melee combat capabilities.

But no matter how powerful her melee ability is, she can never be a match for a Jinchūriki when she has the Fear Blood Array, no sealing techniques, and the ability to instantly break through the buggy defenses of the Tailed Beast Coat.

Not to mention that this Jinchūriki is not only a perfect Jinchūriki, but also the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karuta.

Rumble!

"Mikoto-sama, Chihiro-sama, Tsunade-sama is not far ahead. The Mizukage has already entered the half-tailed beast state and will continuously launch Tailed Beast Balls from the front of his body. Please be careful."

Seto Chihiro nodded solemnly, and the chakra in her body had gradually recovered to its best state.

The Hyoryang Pill can restore the user's chakra in a short period of time, but it cannot heal the user's body.

As one of the three holy places, Slug has put all her talents into support. She lacks output means, and powerful healing ability is one of her auxiliary abilities.

Before entering the forest, Mikoto handed the slug to him, and while healing him, she also constantly provided them with directions and Tsunade's status at every moment.

"Oh no! Lady Mikoto." A panicked voice came out of the slug's mouth, and its two little hands waved rapidly.

"After being attacked by the Mizukage, Lady Tsunade seemed to have seen something horrible and froze there. After my clone bounced Lady Tsunade away, it disappeared under the attack of Lord Yagura!"

"how come?"

The slug's words made Mikoto a little confused about what to do for a moment.

Now we are about 200 meters away from the place described by the slug. Fire escape cannot break through the lush trees, but it will take at least 10 seconds to get there...

Seto Chihiro's heart sank. Her current state had recovered by 99%. A green light flashed by: "Captain Mikoto, I'll leave the slug to you first..."

Before Mikoto could hear what Chihiro said, a blue and white slug flew over and stuck to her clothes.

"Chihiro? Chihiro!"

When she turned around, except for the slug on her body, the figure beside her had disappeared.

"Mikoto-sama, I seemed to see Chihiro-sama, melting into the tree..."

......

"Mizukage! What is your purpose in leading the Mist Ninja to attack the Land of Fire?" Tsunade asked while moving quickly in the forest.

From time to time, at the slug's reminder, he dodged the water escape techniques released by the water shadow behind him and continued to move forward.

The trees along the way were broken by the huge impact of the water.

Turning around, Tsunade saw the Mizukage releasing ninjutsu with an expressionless face, and she couldn't help but feel anxious and fearful.

From planning to attract the Mizukage's attention to successfully attracting the Mizukage's attention, the process seemed too smooth.

Think back carefully.

The Mizukage's attention seemed to be always on her. When Uchiha Mikoto and Seto Chihiro moved from both sides, the Mizukage did not stop them.

Even his subordinates didn't care, according to common sense.

In order to deal with her, the Mizukage should wait for the arrival of his subordinates. If several people work together, it will cause great interference to her and increase the probability of killing her.

But this Mizukage seemed to have not expected this. From the moment he saw her, he stared at her as if he didn't see the people around him.
