Chapter 164: The Fourth Mizukage

"It's a Genjutsu! I can't see anything!"

The surrounding mist ninjas panicked and shouted. Suddenly losing vision in the midst of battle, where everything becomes pitch black, inevitably leads to confusion and chaos.

This Genjutsu is similar to the Nirvana Ashura Jutsu used by Yakushi Kabuto in the Chunin exams in the anime. It is a mid-range Genjutsu released on a group, creating a dark environment that blocks the opponent's field of vision, stealing away all light.

In the world of darkness that descended like black silk, even someone with high strength will be forced to move under restraint. But it almost compares to the Genjutsu from the Sharingan, the Bringer of Darkness Jutsu is considered a high-level A-rank Genjutsu after all.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

"Approach your companions and infuse Chakra into each other to disrupt the control of Genjutsu!"

Kirigakure, being one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, immediately had someone propose a method to break the Genjutsu. However, it was clear that Yu's actions were faster than theirs.

While the mist ninjas were attempting to break the Genjutsu, countless sharp threads had already gathered in Yu's palm like a whirlwind, instantly forming an immensely thick pillar of threads extending over a hundred meters, explosively thrown out.

"Surpassing Whirlwind Whip!"

Although Yu could instantly escape the battlefield using Kaio's ability, fleeing without a fight was not Yu's style when facing enemies. After piercing through the bodies of a dozen mist ninjas in front of him, the robust pillar of threads in Yu's hands moved as agilely as a python. The group of mist ninjas around, unable to escape the Genjutsu in time, were cut into segments by Yu's Surpassing Whirlwind Whip.

Blood instantly stained the surface of Kirigakure's sea after piercing through the bodies of a dozen mist ninjas. Not only that, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu instantly summoned three Devil Puppets as the transparent door behind him swung open.

Tyrant, Michael, Toshogun—three puppets all draped in black capes stood around Yu like loyal guardians. As for Kaio, due to the sensitivity of its identity, Yu had it lurking in the alternate space of the Door Door Fruit, waiting for the right moment to strike, prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

"Damn, what a formidable Genjutsu!"

"He actually killed so many people!"

Witnessing numerous ninjas from their own village being killed by Yu at a glance, the remaining mist ninjas who had escaped the Genjutsu were both shocked and furious.

"Impressive."

Seeing Yu use the Thread Fruit's ability combined with a high-level Genjutsu to instantly kill so many enemies, Shisui couldn't help but utter two words. The other three ninjas in his squad were already stunned by the bloody scene unfolding before them.

"Don't be careless."

Ignoring Shisui and the others' reactions, Yu kindly reminded them, as his Observation Haki had sensed that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura was rapidly forming hand seals.

"Water Release·Isobu Great Waterfall!"

As the words fell, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, not far away, forcefully pressed his hands downward. With himself as the center, the Chakra of the Three-Tails within him suddenly erupted, causing a colossal wave to surge from the surrounding sea, resembling a tsunami madly rushing towards Yu and his group.

Harnessing the power of the Three-Tails Isobu within his body, coupled with the current sea terrain, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura could unleash Water Release Ninjutsu far surpassing ordinary levels at any moment.

"The power of a Tailed Beast again..."

"This is really troublesome..."

Facing the disastrous impact of the tsunami before him, Yu couldn't help but smirk.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Tsukimi, Kanra, and the others stood still, at a loss. This type of Ninjutsu had completely exceeded their capacity to endure.

"Death Frost!"

At the critical moment, Yu lightly hooked his finger, and Toshogun manipulated by Parasitic Threads Manipulation immediately took a step forward.

The freezing power of extreme ice crazily gathered within Toshogun's body. It then transformed into a burst of white mist, swiftly forming into a massive ice fog wall that collided with the colossal waves stirred up by Yagura.

Amidst the creaking freeze, the gigantic wave released by Yagura was instantly frozen on the sea surface, sparkling and becoming a remarkable sight.

"Death Frost" is a technique developed by Yu, inspired by Uchiha Madara's Fire Release·Great Fire Annihilation in the anime. It involves creating a vast freezing power within Toshogun and exhaling it to form a massive ice fog wall, freezing all targets—a skill that combines the distinctive features of the Naruto world and the one piece world.

"This level of Ice Release... such formidable strength, and puppet manipulation..."

"Wait! This guy... Scarlet Yu! This guy is Scarlet Yu from Konoha!"

The remaining mist ninjas stared in astonishment at the overwhelming assault unleashed by Yu and the Fourth Mizukage Yagura. As they looked at the Devil Puppets on either side of Yu, draped in black capes and emitting a sinister aura, one of them suddenly shouted.

"Scarlet... Scarlet Yu?!"

"That legendary ninja who can take on thousands alone?!"

Upon hearing Ao reveal Yu's identity, the expressions of all the mist ninjas present instantly changed. Although this was the territory of Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist, Yu had once killed the Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure and the Third Raikage from the Hidden Cloud during the Great Ninja War. As a ninja with the legendary reputation of taking on thousands alone, Yu's formidable reputation undoubtedly imposed immense psychological pressure on all the mist ninjas present.

"Hmph..."

"Scarlet Yu, who takes on thousands, huh?"

Yu and Yagura's gazes met through the crystal-clear ice sculpture of a colossal wave before them. From Yagura, or rather, from the mouth of Uchiha Obito, came a dark and muttered remark.

"Water Release: Body Flicker!"

Sensing the complex and ominous gaze from Yagura on the other side, Yu did not disclose his identity. With a light step on the water's surface, he instantly activated the Water Release Body Flicker Jutsu.

Before all the mist ninjas present could react, Yu had already moved as if teleporting, bypassing the frozen giant wave. He traced an arched trajectory on the sea, appearing in an instant before the Fourth Mizukage Yagura. A whip-like kick covered in Armament Haki was forcefully unleashed!

Bang!

Faced with Yu's powerful and heavy kick, even before it reached its target, the strong gust of wind hit Yagura's face, causing a stinging sensation. However, relying on the unique constitution of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura chose not to dodge but directly lifted the hooked staff in his hand to resist Yu's Taijutsu attack.

"Indeed, the power of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki... It's truly formidable."

Seeing Yagura, who was nearly the same age as himself, actually able to block his Taijutsu attack, Yu praised softly. However, his hands did not pause at all. "But controlled by the Sharingan Genjutsu... How much strength can you really unleash?"

"Space Transfer!"

"Pressure Cannon!"

As the words fell, a massive shadow instantly emerged behind Yu. It was Tyrant, catching up with Yu's footsteps in an instant. The fiercely brutal bear paw shockwave surged downward from top to bottom.

Boom!

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, including Yagura himself, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura was directly blasted into the water by Tyrant's bear paw shockwave, causing exaggerated splashes around.
