Chapter 7

"Ahem... Ahem..." Yudao spat out the blood, but it still didn't end.

Judging by the current state of the First Mizukage, everything will soon end on its own, even without the intervention of the Uchiha and Senju.

Therefore, they were in no hurry to rush into battle, otherwise who knows what trump card the enemy had hidden. What if he launches into a deadly attack? Not everyone has immortality...

Madara and Hashirama waited and waited until Yudao himself went to seek death. They understood perfectly well how to deal with immortality.

Immortality is definitely a scary ability, but it's still not as scary as they initially expected.

Shortly before the battle, they analyzed in detail all information about the enemy together with Konoha's analytical division.

For example, the immortality of the First Mizukage is perfect at first glance, but there is one drawback that cannot immediately be called a drawback.

The point is that after being killed, it takes seconds for the body to fully regenerate, that is, the recovery time is determined by the severity of the wounds.

Based on this, the death of Yudao will give Madara and Hashirama a lot of time to arrange an endless series of deaths for him or even seal him away.

The Uchiha and Senju are unable to kill the Mizukage with their own hands, but the end result of a lost battle is no better than death.

Yudao waited with Madara and Hashirama.

– I see... Are you already celebrating your victory? – breathing heavily, he spat out through severe pain throughout his body.

In response, the Uchiha and Senju involuntarily frowned, because they felt confidence and inflexibility in the enemy's words.

- Madara! – Hashirama exclaimed.

"Yeah..." Madara nodded in response with a rapidly rotating pattern of the scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan, no matter what the Mizukage had in mind, the dead cannot come to the living in the flesh.

The Uchiha intended to quickly end everything with another Genjutsu.

Bang! Bang!!

But just at that moment a roar was heard in the distance.

"Hyoton: Spectacular Field of Ice!"

"Shikotsumyaku: Fern Seedling Dance!"

Two fierce screams came from behind Yudao.

The warm air immediately became colder, and the disfigured soil was instantly covered with a layer of ice, freezing everything in its path.

Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!

Following this, countless sharp bones grew out of the ground, which, merging with a layer of ice, formed a huge ice forest of bone spikes.

The frozen bone spikes were stronger than steel!

Even Madara and Hashirama had to jump to avoid the myriad of ice spikes.

"Byakuren of the Yuki Clan and Yui of the Kaguya Clan?" – Madara said carefree, looking at the two silhouettes next to Yudao.

The appearance of two ardent supporters of the First Mizukage on the battlefield did not come as a surprise to the Uchiha and Senju.

"Byakuren, Yui, I ask you..." Yudao smiled, briefly examining the huge barrel in the hands of the help that arrived.

- Mizukage-sama, let's fight together! – Byakuren decisively turned to his Mizukage.

The name Byakuren or White Lotus sounds very feminine, but in fact Byakuren is a bearded old man in old age.

Instead of answering, Yudao, with a slight wave of his hand, took from them a barrel as tall as a man and with intricate black writing on the surface.

- Get out now, you will only get in the way! He said in an urgent tone as he held the barrel.

"But... Mizukage-sama..." Yui and Byakuren answered alarmedly.

- Go already, this is an order from the Mizukage! The village could fall into a hitherto unprecedented crisis if something happens to you too! Now in all of Kirigakure, besides me, you are the only one who has fighting abilities comparable to the Kage! – Yudao said abruptly.

"Mizukage-sama..." Yui and Byakuren involuntarily trembled at the words of their leader, they were too much like farewell!

The two still wanted to say a lot, but the leader's stern look cut them off mid-sentence.

Then Byakuren gritted his teeth and rushed away without looking back, tightly holding Yui's hand.

"We must stay and help Mizukage-sama!" – Yui exclaimed with a hint of anger in his voice and tried to pull his hand away.

– I forgot about immortality, but what if we all fail together? We may not live to see that day, but Mizukage-sama will definitely return to bring dawn and greatness to Kirigakure!

– Now our main task is to protect the village and accumulate strength until Yudao-sama returns, so that later it will be easier for him to unite the entire shinobi world under his wing!

"And this is not just my speculation, but the leader's plan, drawn up in advance by him together with the entire top of the village!" – the fleeing Byakuren was more serious than ever.

"Did Mizukage-sama really expect Konoha to attack?" – Yui shuddered and opened his mouth in shock in response.

***

Meanwhile on the battlefield!

Yudao excitedly made a seal and playfully canceled the Fuin that covered the brought barrel.

"Waaaah!" – with a ferocious roar, a crazy thirst for murder and blood poured out of the slightly opened barrel.

- Damn, it's the Three-Tails! – the Uchiha's face changed dramatically.

"Madara, we need to stop him from…" Senju added, thinking about the worst.

- It's already late! – Yudao smiled broadly in response, and just then the black ligature of the seals finally retreated, and the dormant tailed beast inside the barrel gradually came to its senses.

So what if the era of Konoha is coming, and not Kiri?

Yudao still had no intention of giving up!
