Chapter 240 The Perfect Jinchuuriki
Chapter 240 The Perfect Jinchuuriki
Yagura looked at the sweaty Biwa Juzo, who was performing hand seals with an expressionless face, as if he didn't care about their past relationship at all.
"Water escape technique. Water mirror technique."
As his calm voice sounded, a mirror made of water appeared, and from the mirror, a Biwa Juzo walked out.
Biwa Juzo had a solemn expression, for he knew that this was one of the famous secret techniques of the Fourth Mizukage. The Water Mirror Technique could create a clone that was exactly the same as the enemy and could use the same ninjutsu with no reduction in power.
He didn't know the principles behind this technique, but it seemed very perverted to him, and almost unsolvable in a one-on-one battle.
After all, it is difficult for him to defeat himself, and Yagura will not be watching and will attack him together.
Sure enough, when Shuijing Juzang attacked the real Biwa Juzang, Yagura formed a seal again, "Water Style, Iron Cannonball!"
boom--
A huge column of water passed through the trees and hit where Biwa Juzo was. Biwa Juzo dodged in a panic, but was injured by his water mirror clone and almost broke his arm.
Biwa Juzo was filled with despair. He was not a person who was afraid of death, but he felt that it would be too unfair if he died at the hands of the Mizukage.
He defected from the Hidden Mist Village in order to preserve his strength and to defeat the Mizukage one day, but not only did he lose his ninja sword over the years, he also failed to gain the power in the Akatsuki organization to overthrow the Hidden Mist Village, and ultimately achieved nothing.
Looking at the Mizukage and Mirror clone who were gradually approaching, he sighed in his heart and felt that his life as a ninja had come to an end.
But before he died, he still wanted to curse, "The organization is such a rip-off!"
Facing Biwa Juzo who was forced into a desperate situation, Yagura had no intention of leaving any of him alive. After getting close to him, he transformed into a half-tailed beast and used the Coral Palm to attack, aiming to eliminate the traitors of the Hidden Mist Village.
Boom——
Just when his palm was about to hit Biwa Juzo, something strange happened, thunder exploded, and a blue-green light flashed, blocking between Yagura and Biwa Juzo.
Yagura was worthy of being the battle-hardened Mizukage. He stopped attacking Biwa Juzo immediately, and quickly formed hand seals and released defensive ninjutsu.
"Water Style: Mirror Shisui!"
A circular mirror formed by water jutsu covered him, preventing his body from being directly impacted by the powerful electric current.
What's strange is that Yagura's Mirror Shisui can not only rebound ninjutsu, but even Lu Li's lightning that is not a ninjutsu can be refracted and radiated outwards.
Yagura's judgment prevented him from falling into the passive state of paralysis caused by the thunder, and out of caution, he jumped back in the smoke and dust, putting some distance between himself and Biwa Juzo, while his eyes wandered around, looking for the attacker.
"It's really embarrassing. In the end, I still have to take action."
A voice came from behind Biwa Juuzang, making him turn around in surprise.
Yagura also looked in the direction of the voice, his expression gloomy, "So there are still companions, damn Akatsuki organization."
He expanded his perception vigilantly, because he remembered that the Akatsuki organization always acted in groups of two. He had killed one person in Biwa Juzo's group, so would the new reinforcements also be two people?
But from his perception, there were no other ninjas except this natural disaster who had been active in the Third World War.
"Tian Zai, you came just in time. I thought I would have to stay here."
Biwa Juzang said gratefully, keeping Lu Li's life-saving grace in his heart. He was a loyal man and would find a way to repay Lu Li in the future.
"Since you are seriously injured, I will take over the battlefield."
Lu Li walked up to Biwa Juuzou and sighed that this guy was really weak. As a member of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, he was qualified and was probably on the same level as Zabuza, but he was not good enough in the Akatsuki organization.
"Be careful, the Fourth Mizukage is stronger than I remember."
Biwa Juzang reminded him kindly. He felt that this was not his illusion. Although he could not beat the Mizukage before, at least he could still fight him off. It was not like today when he was overwhelmed just by the face-to-face encounter.
This feeling is difficult to describe in words. If he had to say it, he felt that the current Mizukage was smoother than before, while the previous Mizukage was very stiff.
"A perfect Jinchūriki, or Mizukage. I have long wanted to learn from him."
Lu Li said with a smile, throwing his reconnaissance skills at Yagura.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see through the opponent's attributes. Even though he had entered the initial release state and his mental attribute was as high as 70 points, he still saw a row of question marks.
This doesn't mean that the Mizukage is much stronger than him, it just means that the Mizukage's spiritual attribute is too high. He is a ninja-taijutsu type ninja, and also a Jinchūriki. The amount of chakra is linked to his spiritual attribute, and his 'blue bar' is bottomless.
With the two complementing each other, Yagura's spiritual attribute is naturally very high. Lu Li speculates that it may be between 75-80 points.
Analyzing from the perspective of aura, movement, and tactics, Lu Li's biological radar instinctively feels that the Mizukage will be much stronger than Kirabi, the perfect Jinchūriki.
All we can say is that Uchiha Madara is too strong, and his advanced eye technique is a natural counter to the Jinchūriki, so he directly controlled Yagura from the tailed beast level.
"Are you the only ones sent by Akatsuki? Where is Uchiha Madara?"
There was anger hidden in Yagura's voice, and he was obviously eager for revenge.
"Uchiha Madara? What an interesting statement. We don't have such a person in our organization. I'm curious, why did you mention the legendary traitor ninja of our Konoha?"
Lu Li asked knowingly, and the Demon Prisoner at his waist slowly unsheathed. Dark purple magic patterns began to spread on his skin, and purple mist surrounded his body.
From a distance, Lu Li looked like a Shura hidden in the purple mist. When the domineering aura of the Overlord extended and the dark red thunder intertwined, he stepped forward, and even Yagura's expression became solemn. "It seems that you are just a poor guy who was used. You don't even know that Uchiha Madara is still alive."
As Yagura spoke, he had already intensified his tailed beast state. An Isosho's tail emerged from behind him, and his body sank, ready to fight.
"Hey, hey, it really is a battle between monsters."
Biwa Juzo felt something was not right when he was watching from the side. Whether it was Lu Li, who was surrounded by dark red lightning, or Yagura, who had transformed into a tailed beast, they were both extremely dangerous in his perception.
Although they are all members of the Akatsuki organization, for a moment Biwa Juzo began to deeply doubt whether he was not worthy.
He did not dare to interfere in the battle between Lu Li and the Fourth Mizukage, and retreated quickly, wanting to evacuate the battlefield to reorganize the situation and contact Orochimaru who might be hiding in the dark.
"Kisame, kill him."
Seeing that Biwa Juzo wanted to escape, Yagura gave the order in a cold voice that he was not coming alone to encircle and suppress the Akatsuki organization.
"What a cruel order, to kill former colleagues or something."
A somewhat lazy voice sounded in the thick fog, and a man carrying Samehada walked out from behind. He was wearing the combat uniform of the Mist Village's elite jonin, and his face had shark-like patterns and sharp teeth. He was none other than Hoshigaki Kisame, one of the Seven Mist Swordsmen.
“Kisame…”
The moment he saw Kisame, Biwa Juuzou had a complicated expression. Rather than fighting against the Mizukage, he didn't want to fight with his former partner.
He is a few years older than Kisame and joined the Mist Swordsmen Seven earlier than Kisame, so he can be considered Kisame's predecessor. However, he is well aware of how terrifying his junior is.
When he came to the Hidden Mist Village this time, he originally wanted to contact Kisame secretly to see if he could persuade the other party to join the Akatsuki organization, but he didn't expect to meet him in such an occasion.
"Senior, there is no point in saying more. The Mizukage has already given the order. If I disobey the order, won't I have to defect like you?"
Kisame said with a smile, but you couldn't see his helplessness, it was obvious that he had decided to follow the Mizukage again.
Originally he wanted to defect, but now he knew the truth that the Mizukage was controlled to do that thing, so he naturally would not direct his hatred towards the Mizukage, but would transfer it to Uchiha Madara and the Akatsuki organization.
He knew that Biwa Juzo had defected to Akatsuki because he didn't know the truth, but now their positions were opposite, and there was nothing much to say in the world of ninja.
As a result, the two members of the Seven Mist Swordsmen instantly started fighting each other, and Biwa Juzo was suppressed by Kisame without any suspense.
Lu Li didn't pay attention to the battlefield on Biwa Juzo's side. He stared at Yagura who had transformed into a tailed beast. The two people's auras were entangled on the battlefield, and the tense atmosphere was about to break out.
"Whether Uchiha Madara is still alive or not has nothing to do with me. I came here just to find a worthy strong man to fight with."
Lu Kai spoke up, "Lord Mizukage, dying in battle to protect the village would be a more suitable way for you to die than dying out of guilt."
"Hmph, you are so arrogant. You are just a brat who has made a name for yourself in the Third World War. Don't think I am the same as that little Raikage."
Yagura said coldly, he looks like a boy, but he is actually very old and will soon have grandchildren.
As he spoke, he arched his body and released the chakra of the tailed beast. The resulting strong wind blew the trees to the ground. Those trees that had been destroyed by the wind escape technique earlier were directly lifted into the air and fell towards the outside.
boom--
The moment Yagura exerted force, a sharp sonic boom sounded, and he seemed to have turned into a heavy artillery shell and shot out, plowing the ground of the wet forest and forming a deep gully.
The dirt and gravel dispersed backwards, and thick fog and miasma formed a circle behind him. He held a black stick with green flowers and charged with unparalleled momentum.
Lu Li on the other side also moved. His overall attributes were at a disadvantage in front of Yagura who had transformed into a tailed beast, but his speed was faster than Yagura.
Dark red thunder burst out around him with crackling sounds of electricity, as if thousands of birds were crying. At the moment when the earth collapsed and the soil sank, Lu Li's figure disappeared.
Almost in an instant, a distance of 100 meters flashed by, and even the sonic boom was delayed due to his extreme speed. Only dark red lightning could be seen in the air.
The Lightning Release Chakra Mode combined with Flash Step was so fast that even Lu Li's dynamic vision couldn't see his way forward.
But he instinctively drew his sword, and the collision between the Prisoner's and Yagura's black sticks was like a sound like a divine hammer striking iron, resounding through the wet woods. Endless gusts of wind erupted from the place where the two men fought, and the terrain was ravaged like plasticine by the huge impact force of the two men.
In the brief moment of time, Lu Li saw Yagura's movements clearly because of the pause in the impact. He was holding the stick with one hand and making a seal with the other hand. When the two sides collided, the seal was just completed.
Water escape technique. Water mirror technique!
On the wing, a mirror opened in the storm, and a man who looked exactly like Lu Li appeared in it, holding a pitch-black blade and rushing towards Lu Li.
Seeing this, Lu Li was not shaken. His domineering aura was wrapped around the prisoner, and his explosive power was further enhanced. He hit Yagura away like hitting a baseball.
As he turned around, he dodged the fake body's sword and then used Ryuying and Bachan at the same time to slash at the fake body.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being his clone, his combat awareness is also first-class, and his sword energy flows back to defense in a very timely manner, blocking the path of Lu Li's Demon Prisoner's attack.
But something unexpected happened to Yagura, Lu Li's Prison Demon easily cut through the fake body's sword like a hot knife cutting through oil, and then cut it off completely, turning it into a pool of water.
Lu Li turned around gracefully and swung his sword to force back Yagura who was attacking him. "Don't use such tricks. What I want to see... is your peak combat power as a Jinchūriki."
