Chapter 163: Fighting Errupts
"Did you get the things?"
Yu, with a somewhat grim expression, looked at Shisui, who had turned into a pig teammate next to him, and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"Yeah, got them."
Breathing heavily, Shisui also flashed a smile at Yu, implying, 'You can trust me; I got it done.'
Seeing the smiling face of Shisui in front of him, Yu was so angry that his breath stagnated. Could this guy be that kid Naruto Uzumaki in disguise? How could the renowned Body Flicker Shisui deceive his teammates like this?
"Now, what do we do?"
Surveying the Mist Ninjas surrounding them like they had been caught in a trap, Shisui's voice involuntarily lowered.
'Ask me what to do? I was about to ask you the same thing!'
Using Observation Haki and Sensory chakra to constantly surround them from all directions, Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed impossible to settle things peacefully today.
"You Konoha ninjas, why did you come to our Kirigakure village to steal information?"
At this moment, the ninjas from Kirigakure automatically cleared a path, and a seemingly teenage boy from Kirigakure walked out. Below his left eye, there was a long stitched wound, but in his hands, he held a hooked cane taller than most people.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura — simultaneously the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails and the leader of Kirigakure — Yu immediately recognized the identity of the seemingly younger boy in front of him.
It seemed his estimation was correct. The Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, had not taken office yet, and Kirigakure was still under the control of Uchiha Obito.
"It was your ninjas who sent spies to our village for information, so we came to investigate your intentions!"
Upon hearing this, Kanra from Shisui's team shouted at the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.
"This is troublesome..."
"It's the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure..."
At the same time, after identifying the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Shisui and Yu exchanged whispers with a hint of seriousness in their expressions.
"Mizukage-sama, don't waste time talking to them!"
"First, let's capture them. The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, haha, it seems we'll have quite a harvest this time!"
At this moment, a towering figure emerged from the crowd of people, locking eyes with Shisui's bloody-red Sharingan and revealing a greedy smile.
With an estimated height of almost 2.5 meters, a massive build, long orange hair, three green markings on each cheek, a weapon wrapped in white bandages on his back, and distinctive sharp teeth, this imposing Mist Ninja was Fuguki Suikazan, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. In the anime, he was the superior of the 'Kirigakure Weirdo' Hoshigaki Kisame and the former strongest wielder of the great sword Samehada.
Yu had encountered this gigantic Mist Ninja before — he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. After the battle with Might Duy, who activated the Eight Inner Gates Formation, only Fuguki Suikazan, Biwa Juzo, and Kurosuki Raiga survived.
"Yu, let's figure out a way to fight our way out together."
Seeing powerful enemies emerging one after another, Shisui positioned himself in the middle and stood with Yu, back to back.
"Hahaha, thinking of escaping?"
"I advise you to surrender now... Ah ah ah!!"
A Mist Ninja from the crowd, taking advantage of their numbers, stepped forward to mock them. However, in the midst of his speech, he suddenly clutched his head in pain and cried out. Not only him, but the other dozen or so Mist Ninjas around him also began writhing on the ground, clutching their heads, as if witnessing something extremely terrifying.
"What's happening?!"
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, Yu subconsciously glanced at Shisui beside him and couldn't help but freeze.
At this moment, within Shisui's crimson Sharingan, the originally pitch-black three Tomoe had inexplicably formed a four-cornered windmill shape, emitting an indescribable and powerful oppressive force.
Mangekyo Sharingan...
Is this the legendary highest-level Genjutsu eye of the Uchiha Clan?!
Unexpectedly, Shisui had truly awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and today, Yu had witnessed the renowned strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, making him feel a chill in his heart.
Kotoamatsukami—this eye technique could swiftly invade the opponent's brain, permanently and completely altering their will. It was the eye of dominating wills, turning everyone the caster saw into their puppets!
According to Yu's speculation, Kotoamatsukami had different usage methods. One, as seen in Shisui's current right eye, was a Dojutsu that temporarily manipulated the will of multiple targets. This type of Dojutsu had a relatively short cooldown time, like the eye taken by Danzo in the anime.
The other type was in Shisui's left eye, the Kotoamatsukami that could permanently alter someone else's will. Without Senju Hashirama's cells, the cooldown time would be as long as ten years, like the eye Shisui handed over to Uchiha Itachi in the anime.
With the power of this eye technique, Uchiha Itachi, even after his death, broke free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation during the Fourth Great Ninja War. He successfully turned the tables, dealing with Yakushi Kabuto, undoing the Impure World Reincarnation, and altering the entire course of the ninja world's war.
Another type is the ultimate secret technique, Kotoamatsukami: Kobo, that Yu saw in a game called "Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm." It releases an attack-type Genjutsu similar to 'Tsukuyomi' with the right eye, pulling the enemy's mind into a Genjutsu space completely controlled by the user and causing immense damage. It can instantly turn the enemy's mind into dust!
"Everyone, be careful! It's Konoha's Uchiha Clan's Body Flicker Shisui!!"
"This guy is no ordinary enemy. Fuguki Senpai, let's go together!!"
Seeing dozens of Mist Ninjas falling under the Genjutsu in an instant, a Mist Ninja with a black eyepatch over his right eye immediately recognized Shisui's identity. After speaking, he and Fuguki Suikazan, along with a large group of ninjas, surrounded Yu and the others.
"Ao?"
As Yu saw this Mist Ninja shouting, his gaze instinctively locked onto the black eyepatch over his right eye. That must be the trophy once taken from the main family of Konoha's Hyuga Clan during the third Great Ninja War.
With this realization, he momentarily shifted his gaze to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. Although he appeared normal on the surface, careful observation with Observation Haki revealed a subtle and imperceptible disturbance in the flow of Chakra around him. Undoubtedly, a highly skilled Genjutsu was manipulating him.
"Hmph, it's really you, Uchiha Obito..."
After seeing through this, Yu smiled knowingly. As he watched Ao and Fuguki Suikazan leading a large group of ninjas charging towards them, he turned to Shisui and said, "It seems we're in for a big battle today. Take care of those four, and I'll handle the Fourth Mizukage."
Upon hearing this, Shisui nodded. With his eerie Mangekyo Sharingan open, he spoke in a deep voice, "If we can't break through today, Yu, make sure to bring the intelligence back to the village."
Hearing Shisui's determined words, Yu couldn't help but admire him. It seemed this guy was indeed as praised in the anime – 'As the top Uchiha, as long as it's for Konoha, he will always be at the forefront, carrying out any mission.'
"Don't worry. None of us will die today."
"If I truly decide to leave, there's no one in this world who can stop me."
With these words, Yu flashed a confident smile at Shisui while swiftly forming hand seals with both hands.
This is the truth. If he truly wanted to escape, both Tyrant and Kaio's abilities could help him instantly leave the battlefield.
"Genjutsu: Bringer of Darkness!"
Suddenly, before the eyes of almost all the Mist Ninjas present, everything went black. A vast area of invisible darkness enveloped them, causing all the Mist Ninjas to temporarily lose their vision, leading to a moment of confusion in their movements.
