Chapter 126 Obito: "Sneak attack on Makoto? You can't even scratch him."
Chapter 126 Obito: "Sneak attack on Makoto? You can't win at all."
Divine Power Space.
Gray and empty.
An endless land where countless cubic boulders float.
Makoto Karatachi and the Third Mizukage appeared almost simultaneously, one after the other.
This is the territory of Goji Ju Cheng.
It was also the battlefield he chose!
Regardless of the circumstances, the Third Mizukage is still the Mizukage, and Makoto Karatachi, in whatever capacity, is committing insubordination. A direct battle at the Mizukage Building would not only cause enormous losses but could also be exploited by those with ulterior motives.
But by moving the battle here, all those messy things will be gone.
"Sandaime."
Makoto Kuraki slowly straightened up, his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes fixed on the soulless body opposite him, his voice icy.
"Although I don't know what kind of Uchiha could control you."
"But for the sake of Kirigakure, I have no choice but to defy my superiors."
"7
Before he could finish speaking, the Third Mizukage, who was being controlled, immediately took action, completing hand seals with a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary Kage-level shikigami.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Wow!!
In this Kamui space, which should have been devoid of water, towering waves suddenly surged around the Third Mizukage.
It is not water that is condensed by the environment, but water that is purely transformed from the purest and most refined chakra!
The giant wave roared like a tsunami and swept towards Gouju Cheng with astonishing power, as if it would submerge the entire Kamui Space.
Gouju did not dodge.
Being inside the Divine Might Space, he couldn't use the Illusion technique, because this was the interior of the Divine Might Space. Illusion was simply transferring parts of his body here, and since he was completely here, there was naturally nowhere for him to use Illusion.
But he didn't intend to hide.
"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"
Gouju Cheng formed a hand seal, and a smooth, mirror-like wall of water instantly materialized in front of him.
Ripples spread across the surface of the water mirror, and a colossal wave, exactly like the one that had struck the great waterfall, surged out of the mirror in reverse, colliding violently with the oncoming waterfall.
The deafening roar of the rushing water seemed to tear the gloomy space apart. Countless cubic boulders were swept and struck by the violent current, tumbling and shattering under the immense force, turning into smaller stones that mixed into the water.
The two forces were evenly matched and eventually collapsed simultaneously, turning into a sky full of water mist that poured down like a torrential rain.
At that instant, the Third Mizukage formed hand seals once more.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bite!"
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Without a doubt, the Third Mizukage was a true master of Water Release, his mastery of Water Release ninjutsu had reached a state of perfection, he could use it with ease and overwhelming power.
At this moment, the Third Mizukage was like a water-style artillery platform, continuously releasing water-style ninjutsu. Faced with this overwhelming and almost completely destructive water-style attack, Makoto Karatachi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Even with his Water Mirror Technique, his own chakra wouldn't be enough to withstand such an attack.
"no."
"Am I out of my mind to compare my Water Release techniques with the Mizukage?"
Looking at the overwhelming, seemingly endless torrent of water, Makoto Koji slapped his forehead and burst into laughter.
His mastery of water-style techniques is truly extraordinary. Coupled with the bloodline limit and secret techniques copied by the God Hand, ordinary water-style ninjas are no match for him.
But who is this person in front of me?
The Third Mizukage!
The Water Release master of Kirigakure, who held the position of Mizukage for many years, has reached the pinnacle of understanding and control over Water Release. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one Water Release master in the ninja world.
Using the opponent's signature move to fight against them is just asking for humiliation.
Moreover, although the Third Mizukage was under control and his mind was unclear, his fighting instincts and chakra reserves were not damaged. He was a pure water-style killing machine.
To engage in a water-based battle with a machine like that is pure idiocy.
"Then————"
Makoto Goji took a deep breath, and the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern in his eyes suddenly began to spin faster, the scarlet light particularly dazzling in the dim Kamui space.
"Let's end this farce with these eyes!"
Before he finished speaking, the chakra within him erupted like a volcano!
Deep blue chakra, like tangible flames, surged forth from Makoto Karatachi's body, instantly condensing and taking shape.
Bones, meridians, muscles, armor —
Susanoo!
Phase Three!
A colossal chakra giant, tens of meters tall, rose from the ground, clad in ancient and majestic dark blue armor, and wielding a chakra katana also formed from chakra!
The Third Mizukage unleashed several ferocious water dragons and countless water arrows, which bombarded Susanoo's armor like a torrential rain, but only caused large ripples of chakra and roars, unable to shake the solid defense at all.
Only the high-pressure water jet could make a slight movement, but Gouju Cheng was not a stationary target.
Susanoo picked up the chakra katana and slashed at the incoming water dragons and pillars.
There are no fancy moves, no complicated variations.
Only the purest, most ruthless, and most unparalleled power!
Wherever the blade's light passed, space seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind faint traces of chakra.
The water-style ninjutsu released by the Third Mizukage, which was enough to easily destroy a ninja army, shattered like fragile glass before this greatsword.
boom!!!
The water surges into the sky.
The Third Mizukage's figure was violently thrown away by the terrifying shockwave, like a kite with a broken string, and crashed heavily into a floating boulder in the distance, cracking the boulder.
His Water Shadow Divine Robe was torn in many places, and there were fine wounds on his face and arms, from which blood seeped out. His aura also weakened considerably in an instant.
But he still didn't fall. As if he couldn't feel the pain, he struggled to his feet, his eyes still empty and blank, and his hands were even subconsciously trying to form hand seals.
Upon seeing this, Gouju Cheng's eyes narrowed.
He didn't mind continuing the fight. Given the Third Mizukage's current condition, he was 99% confident he could win even in a head-on confrontation.
But even if you win, what then?
Will Kirigakure lose a Kage-level fighter?!
Subduing the Third Mizukage immediately and then finding a way to remove the control over him is the most urgent task!
"Takemikazuchi!"
Makoto Karatachi's left kaleidoscope suddenly spun, and an illusion that could determine everything was suddenly cast.
Having lost his mind, the Third Mizukage was no match for Takemikazuchi's power. With a muffled groan, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, swaying precariously.
Those eyes, which were originally empty, seemed to regain a very faint glimmer of clarity, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper blankness and pain, making them appear extremely eerie.
Makoto Karatachi instantly stepped forward, his palm suddenly landing on the Third Mizukage's lower abdomen. Countless sealing spells instantly spread from Makoto Karatachi's palm, sealing off the Third Mizukage's chakra.
The Third Mizukage tried to struggle, but with his body and mind injured, he had no strength left.
He was immediately bound tightly and unable to move at all.
After doing all this, Makoto Karatachi was finally able to observe the Third Mizukage closely.
The Third Mizukage, who had lost consciousness, had his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, as if he were enduring immense pain. His breathing was also rapid and unsteady.
Makoto carefully extended a wisp of chakra, attempting to invade its spiritual world and perceive the specific situation of the remaining ocular power.
"As expected of Old Madara, such a level of eye power—"
He had indeed oversimplified things.
Previously, Makoto Kariju intended to use the Mangekyou Sharingan to forcibly remove the ocular power from the Mizukage's mind, thereby helping the Mizukage break free from Madara Uchiha's ocular power control.
But he didn't expect Madara's eye power to be so strong. Even though his original eyeballs had been gouged out long ago, this eye power was still like a leech, deeply rooted in the Mizukage's mind, altering his will and controlling his actions.
"This is quite tricky—"
Makoto Kuraki took a deep breath: "Third Hokage, it might hurt a bit right now, but you should be able to bear it, right?"
Having said that, Makoto Karuta's kaleidoscope suddenly began to spin, with a vast amount of ocular power continuously flowing into it. However, after entering the Third Mizukage's brain, it became as gentle as a trickle, proceeding cautiously.
Can't tolerate him being careless.
Judging from the way Madara eroded the Third Mizukage's eye power, if he had exerted even a little too much force, the Third Mizukage would have either developed dementia or become a vegetable!
"Hmm!"
However, no matter how careful Makoto was, the moment he touched the remnants of Madara's pupil power, it was like cold water being poured into boiling oil, causing an immediate and violent reaction.
The Third Mizukage's body suddenly convulsed violently, a agonizing roar emanating from his throat, veins bulging on his forehead, and cold sweat instantly soaking through his tattered divine robe.
"Wow, Obito, I didn't expect your Kamui dimensions to be connected."
at the same time.
At the other end of the Divine Might Space, two figures gazed at the scene in the distance.
Bai Jue exclaimed in surprise, "Don't you think we can take this opportunity to go up and kill this Gouju Cheng?!"
"idiot!"
Obito glanced at Zetsu, who was itching to make a move, but didn't even bother to acknowledge him.
Do you think he didn't want to kill Makoto Kuraki, didn't want to kill this guy who brought him endless humiliation?
The problem is, it's impossible!
In fact, Obito had known for a long time that the two's Kamui dimensions were connected. When Makoto stole the supplies, the boxes of explosive tags that Kamui teleported almost scared Obito to death.
Later I found out it was that bastard Gouju Cheng who was behind it.
He had considered lying in wait here and killing Makoto Goji, after all, the two had long been sworn enemies on Blue Island.
Moreover, it is impossible to become ethereal within the Divine Might Space.
In other words, as long as he ambushes Makoto here, Makoto has no way to hide!
But just as he was about to take action, Old Madara noticed something amiss and gave Obito a heads-up.
"It's true that Makoto Kujira can't use Hollowfication in the Kamui dimension, but don't forget that you can't use it either."
That one sentence brought Xian Er back to reality and dispelled his idea of an ambush.
Although Obito had been studying with Madara for quite some time and considered himself the second Madara Uchiha, his most powerful technique was still Kamui!
If it were Kamui fighting Kamui, Obito would naturally be no match, but at this moment, Obito only has one Kamui eye.
But Gouju Cheng has a pair!
No.
Adding Fugaku's, that makes two pairs!
Four kaleidoscopes make one.
How do I play?
Fight with your head!
"Lord Madara's eye power—it's truly amazing."
White Zetsu lay on a boulder next to Obito, peering out in amazement.
"After all these years, his control is still so strong. This Makoto Karatachi is really bold, daring to directly use his eye power to clash with it — Hey, the old Mizukage seems to be about to pass out, look at how he's convulsing, like he's dancing at a disco."
Obito's brows were furrowed beneath his mask, ignoring Zetsu's incessant chatter.
His gaze was more focused on Makoto Karatachi, especially on his endlessly spinning Mangekyou Sharingan.
The kaleidoscope of the Fugaku clan chief.
According to the information gathered by White Zetsu, the eye techniques of these Mangekyou Sharingan are Takemikazuchi and Amaterasu, respectively. The former is a powerful illusion that can directly affect the opponent's mind and will, while the latter is known as the strongest physical attack, an inextinguishable flame.
It now appears that the intelligence was largely accurate.
What made Obito even more annoyed was that Makoto's proficiency in using the Kaleidoscope was ridiculously high!
For someone without Uchiha blood to wield the Mangekyou Sharingan with such mastery is simply—
If Makoto Kari knew what Obito was thinking at that moment, he would surely flash a bright smile and grin wildly.
The reason I'm so skilled is because I use them a lot. Whenever I have free time, I use these eyes as much as I can, like kaleidoscopes and such. They're really great!
far away.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Makoto Koji's forehead; the cleanup work was proving to be more difficult than he had anticipated.
Madara's eye power is not only stubborn and domineering, but also extremely resilient. In addition, Makoto Karatachi is under tremendous pressure to ensure the safety of the Third Hokage.
Fortunately, Makoto was bold and meticulous. Through his efforts, the Third Mizukage's originally chaotic and violent mental fluctuations gradually stabilized.
"Ugh————"
The Third Mizukage let out a meaningless groan, his unfocused pupils beginning to focus with difficulty, finally settling on the face of Makoto Karatachi, who was standing inches away.
His eyes were filled with confusion and pain, and a hint of something indescribable—a complex emotion.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a complete sound.
"Don't move, and don't try to mobilize your chakra."
Gouju Cheng said in a deep voice, "You've got something dirty in your brain, and I'm cleaning it out for you. It might hurt a little, but bear with it, it'll be over soon."
The Third Mizukage's eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood Makoto Karatachi's words, or perhaps he was influenced by Takemikazuchi's eye power. He finally closed his eyes slowly and stopped struggling, though his body was still trembling slightly involuntarily.
Gouju breathed a sigh of relief.
The most troublesome and dangerous phase is finally over.
"Tsk tsk, looks like it's going to be a success."
Bai Jue clicked his tongue, his tone unreadable, neither expressing disappointment nor genuine amusement.
"The Mizukage that Madara-sama managed to control has been released just like that. Obito, are we really going to do nothing?"
"If we attack now, that guy, Makoto, is focused on healing and his defenses are at their weakest. We can sneak up and stab him in the kidneys!"
-
Obito remained silent.
A sneak attack?
He certainly wanted that too.
Makoto Kuraki's existence is a huge, uncontrollable variable to both his plans and the Eye of the Moon plan.
The power of the Hand of God is too strange; he can even copy a kaleidoscope. Who knows how far he will grow in the future?
If we can eliminate them here, catching them off guard—
but.
Obito's single eye swept over Makoto's eyes, and the battle on Aquamarine Island involuntarily came to mind. In the end, he chose to follow his heart.
Now that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, Obito will not easily take risks unless he is absolutely certain of victory or has been driven to a dead end.
"No need."
Obito finally spoke, his voice sounding somewhat muffled through his mask.
"The fact that Madara's control has been lifted is a loss, but it won't have a significant impact on our plans. Since we've already shifted the focus of our plans to Sunagakure, there's no need to worry about temporary gains or losses."
"Moreover, Madara's plans have never relied on one or two pawns."
"Goji-ju Cheng—let him live a little longer."
"Once we've collected enough tailed beasts and activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, all these so-called variables will turn to dust before the true power of a god."
White Zetsu shrugged: "Alright, alright, you're Madara's successor, so you get to decide. What do we do next, watch the show?"
"Walk."
Obito took one last deep look at Makoto Karatachi, who was focused on treating patients in the distance, before slowly merging into the cubic boulder beneath him, disappearing as if sinking into water.
White Zetsu muttered "How boring," and his body melted into the rock like liquid, following Obito away.
The Kamui Space returned to its ancient silence and emptiness, with only the faint hum of chakra flowing as Makoto Kaguya treated the Third Mizukage in the distance, and the occasional muffled groans from the Third Mizukage.
A few minutes later, the two figures reappeared in the Mizukage's office.
"Makoto, what exactly is the reason behind all of this—"
"How do you feel, Third Generation?"
As the Third Mizukage's bewildered eyes gradually cleared, Makoto Karatachi breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you've regained your senses and still remember him, which means there aren't too many problems with your memory. That makes many things easier to handle.
"It feels like I had a very, very long dream."
95
The Third Mizukage looked at his hands in a daze.
Those eyes, once shrouded in gloom, were now bloodshot and deeply weary, but they had regained focus and their own unique brilliance.
"Everything over the past ten years has been a blur, I've been completely out of control of my own destiny—I never imagined I'd actually wake up one day."
"That guy's eye power is truly formidable, so the process of waking up was a little painful." Makoto Karatachi looked at the old man who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant and said softly, "Excuse me, Third Hokage."
"No."
The Third Mizukage shook his head: "If it weren't for you, I probably would have been trapped in that illusion and died in this lifetime."
"If it were just me, I would simply die, but Kirigakure—"
The Third Mizukage's voice was choked with emotion, his cloudy gaze fixed on the window, where the Hidden Mist Village stretched out, a place he had protected his entire life, yet which had also been plunged into blood mist and turmoil because of his manipulation.
He saw the ninjas constantly dwindling under his policies, the children lost because of flawless policies, and everyone exhausted and mired in the quagmire of war.
"I have failed Kirigakure."
