Chapter 36: Don’t Show Off In Front of Me

CHCk for ew stries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Is this where the Fourth Mizukage lives?

Uehara and Kisame arrived at the lakeside residence of the Fourth Mizukage. There they saw a bunch of Kirigakure Ninjas corpses lying on the shore, and previously clear lake water had turned scarlet.

Kisame nodded, looked at the surrounding environment, and exclaimed, Zabuza has killed so many of the Mizukages ninjas! It looks like he prepared quite a bit for this!

Judging from the traces of battle and the bloods temperature, it hasnt been long since Zabuza assassinated the Fourth Mizukage Yagura. He may even be hiding nearby.

As for the result of the battle between them, whether it was Uehara or Kisame, they did not feel very optimistic about Zabuzas chances of killing Yagura. The Three-Tails Jinchuriki couldnt be killed using standard assassination techniques.

Suddenly a ripple appeared on the lakes surface!

An ugly giant beast rushed out. The thorns on its back were dripping with water droplets as its three steel-like tails swayed behind it. A pair of weird eyes stared at the two people on the shore.

Ah?

Kisame did not show any fear as he confronted the giant beast. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, He was able to force Lord Mizukage into using his Tailed Beast Transformation. Zabuzas strength cannot be underestimated!

This giant beast was the Three-Tails, Isobu of Kirigakure.

A moment later, the giant beast, who looked like a tortoise, glanced at Kisame, and it turned into a cloud of smoke, disappearing from the twos sight.

Suddenly a young-looking ninja walked out of the smoke. There was a stitch-like scar on his face. It didnt look particularly scary, it was actually rather cute.

It was the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura. His eyes were dark, and he coldly muttered, Hmph, that guy Zabuza is just a coward. I didnt need to use Isobus power at all. I just let Isobu out to stretch for a bit

Kisame spread his palms, looked towards Uehara, chuckled, then opened his mouth, Since youre going to face Uehara-sama next, please dont hold back Mizukage-sama. Use the power of Three-Tails. Otherwise, Uehara-sama might not enjoy the fight!

Is that so?

Karatachi Yagura took a look at Uehara before nodding seriously, I understand. I wont hold back then.

Hey hey hey, dont listen to Kisame nonsense!

Uehara glared at his new subordinate, then turned his head and looked towards Karatachi Yagura. If you use Three-Tails Isobu, you will die very painfully Its better to remain in this form and let me kill you. It will be more convenient for everyone.

Ueharas comment made Karatachi Yaguras face turn ugly.

Why is this little demon so arrogant?

This Fourth Mizukage didnt look at him but instead looked towards the shark face ninja, Kisame, it seems like you also want to assassinate me? Is this little demon your helper?

No, Mizukage-sama, dont get me wrong.

Kisame shook his head and denied Yaguras accusation. He chuckled and continued, I will not intervene in this battle. Im just an innocent person who was threatened into assassinating Mizukage-sama!

According to the plan he made with Uehara, he would not participate in this battle.

Part of the reason was so he could see Ueharas power.

Defeating or killing someone at the level of the Five Kages was a clear sign of strength.

Then Ill deal with you after Im done with him!

Looking at Uehara, Yagura flipped his palm, summoning an odd weapon. It was an iron staff that was thicker on end than the other, with hooks on both ends. A green flower was attached to the thicker end, bringing color to the otherwise all-black weapon. Once it appeared, he rushed over to attack Uehara!

Uehara blocked his strike with one hand. His life energy had increased significantly, and he now had over 3000 points, so both his power and speed had been greatly enhanced. Thus, he faced no difficulty blocking Yaguras attack!

Your strength isnt bad.

Uehara Naraku sighed, and he didnt know whether he was complimenting himself or Yagura, but what he said undoubtedly angered the Fourth Mizukage.

Yaguras palm suddenly turned blood red, and he slapped Ueharas chest. A clump of coral quickly solidified on Ueharas body!

This was one of Three-Tails Isobus abilities, Coral Palm!

Only the Jinchuriki, who could borrow the power of Three-Tails, could use Coral Palm. Once it hit something, coral would quickly sprout out.

As a perfect Jinchuriki, all parts of Yaguras body could enter the semi-Tailed Beast Transformation. Yagura had caught many ninjas off guard by borrowing one of the Three-Tails Isobus abilities and incorporating it into his Taijutsu.

This Fourth Mizukage did not break his promise. He had promised not to hold back, so he immediately used the power of Three-Tails on Uehara!

This is quite troublesome

Uehara looked at the coral growing on his body. It covered his whole body almost instantly. Well, Ill just have to have a face-to-face encounter. Have you seen this before?

The moment of the sacred judgment!

The golden shell surrounded Ueharas body, instantly dispelling Coral Palm from his body. A Chakra lightsaber appeared with a wave of Ueharas palm, stabbing at Yagura!

Yaguras iron rod spun, and a stream of water shot out from the green flower, turning into a mirror in front of him!

Water-Release Water Mirror Jutsu!

A ninja that looked exactly like Uehara appeared in the mirror. The chakra lightsaber instantly pierced through the Uehara in the mirror.

Yagura flipped as he avoided Ueharas attack. Wrinkling his forehead, his face revealed his frustration, How did the Water Mirror Jutsu fail?

It should have formed a clone of the enemy that could even use the enemys Ninjutsu. However, the copy just now had obviously failed.

Uehara hit Yaguras jaw with a fist, smashing him into the air. Then he twisted his wrist and said, I wonder. Maybe the reason why I cant be copied is because this world can only accommodate one me?

Little demon, youre far too arrogant!

After Uehara knocked Yagura down onto the ground, Yagura quickly began to form his hand seals, Water-Release Water Dragon!

Uehara quickly stomped on the ground, causing the ground to crack!

Ueharas speed was too high, forcing Yagura to stop forming hand seals. Who expected the Fourth Mizukage not to be surprised at all? Instead, a thick tail sprang out from his back!

That was the tail of the Three-Tails Beast!

Yagura shook the tail behind his back and fiercely struck Ueharas body to knock him out. He had used forming hand seals to lure Uehara to attack!

The dirtied Uehara slapped the ground as he flew upside down before landing on his feet. He noticed that his life energy had dropped by more than a thousand points, which meant that Yaguras attack power was enough to kill an ordinary Jonin easily.

Kisame, who was watching the battle, shook his head and looked at Uehara, There are many ways to interrupt the formation of hand seals, but you chose the most dangerous way. You can block the force of the Three-Tails, so its no wonder that youre so confident

I wanted to fight you as an ordinary ninja, but you used the power of a Tailed Beast .

Uehara clenched his and calmly began to form a hand seal. He looked at Yagura and whispered, Your Excellency Fourth Mizukage, I forgot to tell you. I hate it when others show off in front of me
