Chapter 49: One Last Gift for the Hidden Mist Village Before Leaving!
Chapter 49: One Last Gift for the Hidden Mist Village Before Leaving!
The explosive power was so overwhelming that for a moment, it made him feel a brush with death, and even Yagura was startled by this unexpected threat.
Realizing that his opponent was no ordinary adversary, Yagura knew he had to bring out his true strength.
Quickly summoning the chakra of the Tailed Beast to cover his entire body, three dark red chakra tails emerged from behind him, swaying menacingly.
With all fours on the ground and his body lowered, Yagura's stance exuded intense malice, so palpable that Genshi could feel his entire being shiver, as if every cell in his body was recoiling.
It felt like being locked onto by a deadly predator, a forewarning of impending danger blaring in his mind.
He knew dealing with a Tailed Beast was no easy task, nor was dealing with a Jinchuriki.
And when that Jinchuriki was a perfect host, the challenge was even greater!
As Genshi watched cautiously, Yagura suddenly sprang into action, leaping into the air and positioning himself directly above Genshi.
His claw, infused with dark red chakra, aimed down with crushing force.
In response, Genshi immediately leapt backward, his hands quickly forming seals.
"Water Style: Water Cutting Wave!"
A high-pressure blade of water surged forward, like a mighty sword swing aimed to slice Yagura in two.
Unfazed by the attack, Yagura extended one of his tails to deflect it with a single sweeping motion.
Then, as he landed, he kicked off the ground, immediately lunging toward Genshi once more.
In just a second, he closed the distance, striking again with another seemingly straightforward claw attack.
But if one thought it was an ordinary move, they would be gravely mistaken!
Yagura's relentless speed in pursuit was so swift that Genshi had no time to prepare a counter.
Faced with this strike, Genshi had no choice but to brace himself, tensing his arm muscles to add strength before blocking the blow.
Boom!
The two forces clashed, and in less than a second, a figure was sent flying!
"Lord Genshi!"
Seeing their comrade knocked back, Mei Terumi and the others shouted out in worry, barely able to restrain themselves from rushing in.
"Mei, stay calm!"
"Remember Lord Genshi's instructions!"
Fearing that Mei Terumi would act impulsively, Ao quickly reminded her.
"I understand!"
Reluctantly, Mei Terumi held back.
After being struck, Genshi felt as if every bone in his body had shattered.
Seeing Yagura standing there unfazed, his heart grew heavier.
Facing a perfect Jinchuriki was far more challenging than he had anticipated.
But despite this, he had no choice but to press on.
On the other side, Uchiha Obito was directly controlling Yagura, tormenting Genshi to the brink, a twisted satisfaction welling up within him.
"Once I finish with you, it'll be Mei Terumi and the rest's turn next!"
"Heh heh!"
"The pain Rin suffered in the past…"
"Today, I'll make you all feel it a hundred, a thousand times over!"
The thought of Rin's painful death rekindled an endless hatred within Uchiha Obito.
Even if it meant opposing the entire world, he would create a world where Rin existed!
But until then, he would see to it that all those damned Mist ninjas perished!
To others, Uchiha Obito appeared deranged, like a madman who had lost all reason.
At least, that's what Zetsu thought as he observed him.
Still, he didn't care what Obito did, as long as it led to freeing his mother.
As Zetsu was lost in thought, a message from a White Zetsu clone reached him with unexpected news.
"Obito, bad news!"
"Kakashi, who was imprisoned, has been freed by that kid Yi!"
Zetsu immediately relayed this information to Uchiha Obito.
"What?"
The words snapped Uchiha Obito back to reality.
"I suspect that kid Yi has his eye on your Sharingan!"
Zetsu said, his tone cautious.
To him, the only thing valuable enough on Kakashi to attract interest was that Sharingan.
"That damned brat!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Obito was filled with rage, wanting nothing more than to tear Uchiha Yi to pieces.
That Sharingan was a gift he had personally given to Kakashi upon becoming a jonin.
No one else had the right to touch it!
"I need to go check on this!"
Despite his anger, Obito knew he couldn't underestimate Uchiha Yi.
After all, there was that devastating lava rain he had unleashed…
Obito couldn't be sure what other terrifying forbidden techniques Yi might have.
In any case, he was prepared to lose one Sharingan if necessary.
"What about things here?" Zetsu asked, curious.
"This place has been wrecked enough."
"There's no point in staying here."
Obito spoke indifferently, as if he had lost all interest.
But his next words betrayed his true nature.
"Before I go, though, I'll leave one more gift for the Hidden Mist Village!"
With that, he formed a release seal with his hands.
"Obito, be careful not to kill the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. If he dies, our plans will have to be delayed."
Zetsu cautioned him, sensing Obito's intentions.
To him, Obito always seemed reckless and unreliable, often needing guidance.
"Don't worry, he won't die!"
"It'll just be the Mist ninjas who die!"
"After all, Yagura is a valuable asset to the Hidden Mist Village. Even if he makes mistakes, they won't simply execute him!"
"I've thought this through. There won't be a problem!"
Obito replied confidently.
"All right then."
Convinced by Obito's reasoning and knowing the inner workings of the various villages, Zetsu saw no reason to stop him.
Meanwhile…
As Genshi fought Yagura, he grew increasingly uncertain, his only hope being that Mei Terumi and the others had followed the plan.
Once the signal was raised, he would lure Yagura into the sealing array, where the entire village would focus on sealing him away.
While they made their preparations, he would hold Yagura back, pushing him to fully transform into the Tailed Beast.
Otherwise, the difficulty would increase significantly.
Originally, everything was planned out.
Mei Terumi and her team were ready, and the signal was sent.
However, just at that moment…
Yagura suddenly, without warning, fully transformed into the Three-Tails!
Genshi was left dumbfounded.
