Chapter 79: Yagura: My battle power is only 6,000; he must be at least over 10,000!
A deep crimson light darted across the battlefield.
Rushing toward Kazuya was the rampaging Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, while being sent flying like a beaten dog!
Boom!
The deafening roar made all the ninjas on the battlefield pause their fights.
Suigetsu Hōzuki: "…"
Mist Ninjas: "…"
Rogue Ninjas: "…"
Terumi Mei now changed into fresh clothes: "…"
The finally arriving Shisui Uchiha: "…"
What the hell just happened?!
The rampaging Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, was sent flying by that Konoha Anbu with a single punch!?!
My God!
How is that even possible!!!
In an instant, all the ninjas present thought of two words: absurd!!!
It was completely absurd!!!
The crazy rampaging Jinchuriki was supposed to be invincible, right?!
How could he get smashed by that Konoha Anbu on their first encounter?!
Damn!
Did the Fourth Mizukage throw the fight on purpose?!
"Roar!"
"Roar…"
From the crumbling mountain, the deep crimson silhouette of the Three-Tails rose again.
He was enveloped in chakra, blasting away the debris covering him.
In the distance, his terrifying beastly gaze fixated on the composed Kazuya.
However, the rampaging Fourth Mizukage Yagura did not immediately attack.
It seemed he was still stunned by the punch he just received.
[You have collected 800 chakra points.]
[You have collected 1000 chakra points.]
[You have collected 1000 points of Tailed Beast power.]
[You have collected 2000 points of Tailed Beast power.]
[You have collected 1800 points of Tailed Beast power.]
…
Golden lights continuously flew toward Kazuya.
Successfully luring the boss!
Honestly, Kazuya felt a bit confused as to why the Fourth Mizukage had suddenly targeted him.
But that was also a good thing!
The Kaguya Clan leader let him down.
Right off the bat, he had tried to assassinate the Mizukage, thinking he had some skills.
But he couldn't even handle a half-tailed beast transformation of Yagura. It was truly disappointing.
Now, it was up to Kazuya, the boss, to step in and farm some experience from the Fourth Mizukage.
"A lifetime of hard work…"
Kazuya sighed suddenly, "If only Jiraiya was here; his skill would be more than enough to farm experience from a Jinchuriki."
Bang!
At that moment, the half-tailed beast transformation of Yagura suddenly charged at Kazuya with great force.
An extremely terrifying chakra exploded from Yagura.
In an instant, the surface of the water was whipped into huge waves.
"The only thing I need to be cautious of…"
"Is his Coral Palm!"
Kazuya didn't underestimate the Fourth Mizukage.
A perfect Jinchuriki was guaranteed to have Shadow-level strength; otherwise, the Akatsuki wouldn't have specifically sent Obito, Pain, and Konan to control the Fourth Mizukage.
Clap!
With both hands clapping together!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Instantly, a terrifying fireball with a diameter of over 20 meters shot toward the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying Fireball jutsu left the surrounding Mist Ninjas dumbfounded.
"What an incredible fire jutsu!"
"That's Kazuya and he is Anbu! I recognize him!"
"Impressive! It seems the rumors are true; the Jinchuriki from the Cloud Village fell to him!"
"And…"
"Did he just do that without any hand signs!?!"
As Kazuya clapped his hands and unleashed a massive fireball, the Mist Ninjas were both shocked and terrified.
No hand signs?
Isn't that a bit outrageous?!
"Too impressive…"
From a distance, Terumi Mei watched in awe, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Kazuya is strong!
Could it be that he deliberately let me go back then to the Land of Fire!?!
In the arena.
At the moment the fireball appeared, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, halted his attack.
His instincts told him that charging into that fireball would mean certain death!
Roar!!!
Kazuya opened his mouth.
In an instant, a pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb took shape.
Buzz! Buzz!
A buzzing sound filled the air!
Within that Tailed Beast Bomb, an overwhelming amount of chakra surged violently.
Roar!
Boom! Boom!
The dark-tailed Beast Bomb collided violently with the fireball.
Bang!
An astonishing shockwave erupted.
The terrifying heat and destructive force instantly vaporized the vast body of water!
Boom! Boom!
A blinding white light exploded.
Some ninjas were blown away by the hurricane-like shockwave.
Explosion!
A mushroom cloud several dozen meters high shot up into the sky from the Mist Village!
It was a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse!
"Kazuya-senpai's strength is truly terrifying!"
Witnessing this spectacle, Uchiha Shisui wore an expression of shock and awe.
In the last battle between Konoha and Kumogakure, he had been knocked out by the Jinchuriki early on and hadn't seen the ensuing battle.
All the tales of He's power had been hearsay until now; he had never witnessed it firsthand.
Now, he finally saw it!
Unbelievable!
That was a terrifying fire jutsu far beyond that of an ordinary ninja!!!
Uchiha Shisui understood that the destructive power comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb was something he couldn't hope to achieve at his current level!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The explosion generated massive amounts of scorching steam, obscuring visibility.
Whoosh!
In a flash of white light, Kazuya took advantage of the dissipating mist and dashed toward the Fourth Mizukage.
Swish!
Kazuya hurled a kunai directly.
"Coral Palm!!!"
The rampaging Yagura suddenly roared, striking Kazuya with his palm.
Close combat?
What a joke!
His Coral Palm was the perfect counter against melee-focused ninjas!
Once hit, coral would grow on the body, rendering the target unable to fight!
Smack!
The palm landed squarely.
Beneath his crimson-tailed Beast cloak, Yagura's face suddenly showed a hint of humanity.
"Anbu Kazuya…"
"Now that we've begun, I'll show you the might of the Mist Village!"
"Can you withstand this palm that I've honed for 20 years?"
"Let's see…"
Boom!
In the next moment, to Yagura's disbelief, flowers of fire erupted around Kazuya.
"This…"
Shadow Clone Explosion!
Boom!
An explosion roared to the heavens.
The Fourth Mizukage was completely engulfed in a spectacular inferno.
"Mizukage-sama…"
A hundred meters away, Suigetsu swung his sword in despair.
Nearby, several Mist Anbu exchanged strange glances.
You're just here shouting "No!" out loud!
Aren't you worried about going in to save him directly!?
Moments later.
Once the smoke cleared, the deep crimson Yagura reappeared in view.
However, he looked somewhat disheveled.
The crimson chakra cloak had numerous tears, revealing his true form.
Smack!
With both hands, he clapped!
Above, dark clouds loomed, thunder rumbled, and a terrifying Kirin lightning took shape.
Kazuya smiled slightly, his aura now locking onto Yagura.
He didn't need to clap; he could perform ninjutsu without hand signs.
Kazuya just got caught up in the moment, wanting to cosplay as the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Crack! Crack!
A deafening thunder echoed.
"This…"
"Could it be a lightning jutsu!?!"
Countless Mist ninjas looked up at the Kirin lightning sparkling within the dark clouds.
"That's Kazuya-senpai channeling chakra to guide the lightning; this…"
Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan flickered with crimson light as he exclaimed, "This lightning jutsu is astonishing! Did Kazuya-senpai use this to severely injure the Jinchuriki from the Cloud Village!?!"
The skies roared with lightning.
As thunder cracked, a sense of anticipation arose in the hearts of the Mist ninjas, wondering how their Mizukage would respond to this terrifying lightning jutsu!
Instantly, all eyes turned to Yagura.
Mizukage-sama, please show the might of the Mist Village!
However!
The next moment, everyone saw Yagura dispel his partial Tailed Beast form, waving his hands with a wry smile, saying, "No more fighting, no more fighting! At this rate, the village will be destroyed!"
"Captain Kazuya, for the sake of peace between Konoha and the Mist, please cease fire!"
"I lost control earlier, and for that, I sincerely apologize!"
With that, the Fourth Mizukage bowed sincerely.
What's going on? How did it turn into a private duel like this?
And why is he bowing like that?
The Hidden Mist ninjas were completely dumbfounded.
Faced with such terrifying lightning ninjutsu, their Mizukage had backed down!?
What on earth is happening here!?
