93 Dumbfounded Kozuki

Hidden Mist Village,

"As expected of the blood mist, such murderous aura."

Kozuki or Akagami Shanks looked around at the deserted streets and couldn't help but sigh.

Under the rule of Yagura, the Mist Village adopted ruthless policies.

Students at the Ninja School had to kill their comrades to pass the exam and become Genin.

Boom...

As Kozuki was looking around, he suddenly heard a big sound from a distance.

"Interesting"

Kozuki immediately released his Observation Haki and soon knew the cause of the recent explosion, and he went in its direction.

"Roar"

At sea, near the rear of the Mist Village.

A massive turtle with three tails constantly swinging around, splashing water and causing monstrous waves.

Numerous Mist Shinobi tried their best to contain three tails as they constantly released the Ninjutsu.

Among the Shinobi, a girl wore a blue dress and brown hair and a beautiful face.

She sprouted Lava from her mouth as it rushed towards the giant turtle but couldn't cause much damage to it as water waves blocked her attack, making it useless.

"We need to find the one who's controlling Lord Mizukage."

Terumi turned around and said to the person with a Byakugan on his left eye beside her.

"I have scanned the area, but there is no sign of him."

Ao tried his best, but he still couldn't find the person who controlled Yagura.

During these years, everyone was dissatisfied with the rule of Yagura as he implemented cruel policies.

Even the big Clans like Kaguya or Yuki Clan are on the brink of extinction, with some survivors running away.

But soon, they began to doubt that something was wrong.

Yagura would hardly appear in public, and many people had barely seen his face in recent years.

Mei Terumi, one of the Elite Jonin of the Village, was the first to doubt.

She asked the most experienced Mist Ninja Ao, who had Byakugan, to look at Yagura when possible.

And their doubts soon turned into facts as Ao, with his Byakugan, was able to see that Yagura was under a Genjutsu.

Terumi was angry that someone dared to control their Mizukage and didn't know how long it had been this way.

But she knew they needed to act now, so they launched a rebellion, gathering nearly all the Shinobi in the village.

After clearing the forces on the side with Yagura, they finally were able to see him.

But they didn't expect him to transform completely, going on a rampage, and now they were trying to stop him with all of their might.

Hearing the answer of Ao, Terumi was a bit annoyed, but she knew this wasn't the time to get depressed.

The Three-Tails in front suddenly opened its mouth as chakra began to gather, and a complete Bijudama was formed soon as it was shot towards them.

"Move away"

Noticing the Bijudama, a terrifying expression appeared on the face of Terumi as she ordered everyone to retreat and also ran ghastly towards her left.

The Bijudama flew from right above her head as it moved towards the village below.

Terumi knew that if this Bijudama hit the village, it could cause many deaths, but she was helpless as there was nothing she could do.

"Now, let's see what's happening here."

Kozuki arrived near the battle point as he wanted to see what was going on.

But as soon as he looked over, a dumb expression appeared on his face under the mask.

"What kind of welcome is this?"

Noticing the Bijudama moving right towards him, Kozuki was left speechless as he didn't know who to blame.

"Am I really the protagonist? Why trouble always follows me."

Kozuki actually thought of living quietly in the Mist Village for a few years and gathering information about the person he was looking for.

But now it seems it can't go the way he wanted it to.

The right or the only hand of Kozuki was immediately imbued with Haki as it turned fully dark.

This was the Ultimate state of Armament Haki, with every punch capable of destroying a mountain.

Kozuki disappeared from his place as he appeared in front of the Bijudama as his punch fell on it.

The Bijudama seemed like a big ball immediately bouncing back towards the direction where it came from.

The three tails proud of his attack was suddenly dumbfounded as it saw its own attack moving right back towards him.

The Three-Tails wanted to move away, but it was already too late.

Boom...

A massive explosion was set up in the lake as vast waves of water were formed immediately by the pressure of the attack.

Terumi and others who were ready to see the village's destruction saw the tides turning in seconds couldn't help but look towards the direction of the town.

They wanted to know who was so strong that he could even bounce the Bijudama back.

Soon, a figure appeared in their sights around 1:9m with short red hair and a mask covering his face.

A high collar long grey cape covered him from shoulder to feet, with a dark purple shirt inside, his chest and abdominal muscles revealed.

With dark pants and a sword with a green hilt slung at his waist, he appeared to be someone out of this world.
