Under the cover of night, the Mizukage Building loomed like a menacing beast, exuding an aura of danger.
Natsume activated Sage Mode and immediately sensed the presence of over thirty ninjas.
The Mizukage Guard and the Anbu Black Ops.
Their average strength was quite impressive.
Excluding Mei Terumī, they far surpassed the attacking side.
After all, the news that the Mizukage had been controlled was simply too shocking.
Most people didn't believe it.
Mei Terumī and Yuanshi knew that stalling any longer would only alert their enemies, so they decided to take a chance.
Fortunately, they had a chance of success.
In terms of the number of Jonin, they had the upper hand.
The only question mark was the mysterious powerhouse and Yagura Karatachi.
Natsume stood beside Mei Terumī.
Her unfamiliar face caught the attention of Yuanshi and Ao.
But neither of them asked any questions.
Apparently, Mei Terumī had already told them about hiring a black-market ninja.
The black market had been around for a long time and had built up a high reputation.
Yuanshi and Ao welcomed Natsume's arrival.
So far, there hadn't been many reports of black-market ninjas turning on their employers.
"Mei Terumī, let's start," Yuanshi sighed and said. "When dealing with those blocking ninjas, try not to kill them if you can do so while ensuring your own safety. Kiri can't afford an internal conflict."
"I understand."
Mei Terumī nodded, and her eyes suddenly sharpened. She waved her hand.
As if it were a signal, more than a dozen dark shadows slipped into the Mizukage Building.
But it wasn't long before...
The building lit up.
A roaring water tornado carrying a figure flew out from the corridor.
The battle had begun.
Mei Terumī wasn't surprised.
If the Mizukage Guard and the Anbu Black Ops could be so easily breached, then they would really be unworthy of their reputation.
In a dim room.
A clone of the White Zetsu emerged from the ground behind Obito Uchiha.
"Mei Terumī and the others have launched an attack. It's obvious they've noticed something wrong with Yagura," it reported.
"A bunch of fools," Obito Uchiha sneered, raising his chin. "It took them so many years to notice the problem. The Mist Village is nothing special."
"What should we do now?"
The White Zetsu knew his personality and didn't take his arrogant words to heart.
"We've troubled them for so long. If we're leaving, we should give them a grand farewell gift," Obito Uchiha said coldly. "Let San Self - Destruct."
Back then, the Mist Village had implanted San into Rin Nohara's body, intending to use her to return to Konoha and self-destruct.
This was his final revenge.
Obito Uchiha said affectionately, "Rin, watch all this."
"Will San's death affect the Akatsuki organization's plan?"
The White Zetsu said with a hint of worry.
"Nothing can stop me from avenging Rin!"
Obito Uchiha turned his head and shot a look full of ferocity and hatred.
The White Zetsu shrugged.
I knew it would be like this.
But the importance of San was obvious.
Not only for the Akatsuki organization but also for the Black Zetsu.
"Then you handle it."
The White Zetsu sank back into the ground and disappeared.
He's just a clone. Let the main body handle the rest.
Obito Uchiha looked at the battle outside the building. His exposed Mangekyo Sharingan was spinning rapidly, exuding a chilling killing intent.
Meanwhile, Natsume looked up and glanced over.
The incredible sensory ability brought by the Sage Mode had already alerted him to Obito Uchiha's presence.
The Dojutsu awakened by the Mangekyo Sharingan often varies from person to person.
Obito Uchiha's Dojutsu was Kamui.
It was a rather absurd Dojutsu.
It had several functions.
First, it could create an alternate dimension, allowing the user to transfer between the real world and the alternate dimension.
Second, it could suck enemies into the alternate dimension.
Third, it could make the user intangible to dodge enemy attacks.
Fourth, ninja tools could be stored in the alternate dimension in advance and then released during battle.
Well, to put it simply, it makes the user both offensive and evasive.
But it also had its weaknesses.
When absorbing, releasing, or attacking opponents, the user's body would become tangible, and the user is unable to dodge enemy attacks.
Moreover, since it was a single - eye Mangekyo Sharingan, the intangibility effect of Kamui could last for a maximum of five minutes.
To be honest, this weakness wasn't really a weakness for most Ninjas.
Only a Ninja with extremely high combat talent like Minato Namikaze could exploit it.
Thanks to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Natsume might be able to kill Obito Uchiha if he caught him off guard.
But it would be too easy on him to die like that.
For this hot - tempered and overly - dramatic kid, making him suffer setbacks at every turn would make his death all the more agonizing.
In other words, one had to Demoralize and Destroy an Enemy.
In his past life, Natsume had always wondered why Obito Uchiha didn't revive Rin Nohara.
There could be many reasons.
For example, Blackened Obito Uchiha thought the world was fake and didn't want her to suffer again after being revived.
But Natsume thought it was more likely that he was too ashamed to face Rin Nohara.
After all, he had killed his own master and mistress, massacred his own clan, and launched multiple attacks on Konoha.
Rin Nohara would never forgive him, let alone love him.
So, Obito Uchiha simply created a brand - new, false world.
In that world, Rin Nohara would always accompany and love him.
If that was the case, it would be relatively easy to break his spirit.
Moreover, this approach would yield more destiny value than simply killing him.
Besides, killing Obito Uchiha now would expose his own Secret and arouse the suspicion of Mei Terumī and the others, which was unnecessary.
As Natsume pondered, the battle in the Mizukage Building had reached a fever pitch.
This chapter is not over yet!
Although neither Obito Uchiha nor Yagura Karatachi had appeared yet.
"Watch out!" Mei shouted.
The Anbu Ninjas in front of the Mizukage Building joined hands to form Hand Seals and released a combined Ninjutsu.
Lightning - Water Dragon Bullet.
A combination of Water Release and Lightning Release.
With the addition of the chakra of more than a dozen Ninjas, it instantly illuminated the night sky.
Mei gritted her teeth and quickly formed Hand Seals.
At this point, she couldn't afford to be merciful anymore.
Boil Release: Dissolving Monster Jutsu!
The sticky and highly corrosive acidic solution instantly expanded in scope and actually covered the entire Lightning - Water hybrid dragon.
The booming sounds kept echoing.
The giant dragon seemed to have swallowed a string of firecrackers, with its skin ripped and flesh torn.
Immediately afterwards, it was melted by the acidic solution and the melted parts fell to the ground, creating numerous small holes.
"Get out of the way quickly!"
The Anbu Commander, his face showing a look of terror, shouted.
After devouring the giant dragon, the acidic solution still didn't dissipate. It was like a deadly tidal wave, surging towards them.
But Mei Terumī wasn't having an easy time either.
In order to enhance the power of her Ninjutsu, she had almost exhausted all her Chakra.
"Here."
Natsume took out a black pill. "Military Rations Pill."
"I've got some."
Mei Terumī shook her head and said, "It's not very useful."
The Military Rations Pill could restore Chakra. Logically speaking, it was a divine item in battles.
But in the original story, few people used it.
Actually, it was due to the effect of the Military Rations Pill.
Suddenly adding a strange and violent stream of Chakra was extremely dangerous during a battle.
So it was basically used in normal times or after a battle.
"Specially made."
Natsume added.
Mei Terumī hesitated for a moment and then put it into her mouth. After a short while, her eyes lit up.
What a great item!
But she also understood that the maker must have extremely high skills.
"Thank..."
Before Mei Terumī could say the second word, the scene suddenly fell silent.
The surviving Anbu Ninjas slowly moved to both sides.
Yagura Karatachi, clad in the Mizukage's divine robe, stepped out, his face full of dignity. He demanded, "Do you want to rebel?"
For a moment, except for Mei Terumī, Yuanshi, and Ao, the other Ninjas all showed varying degrees of wavering.
