The arrival of Yagura of the Kiramei Clan and Hozuki Suigetsu could be a good thing for Terumi Mei.
But for Uchiha Shi, Well, it seemed to be a good thing as well.
Uchiha Shi immediately realized that these two would not let go of someone who knew the secrets of the Mist Village so easily, Especially after Hozuki Suigetsu joined Yagura's camp.
Unaware that the Third Mizukage already knew about this, Yagura of the Kiramei Clan likely believed that this trump card would be the ultimate move against the Third Mizukage.
But now, with a member of the Uchiha clan and a Leaf Village ninja aware of the situation, the two sides were instantly at odds, with irreconcilable conflicts.
A normal person, faced with such a situation, would probably wish for extra legs to run away as fast as possible.
But Uchiha Shi, He never even considered running.
In an instant, two dark figures approached from a distance and soon landed on the roof, stepping on the waves.
Yagura of the Kiramei Clan had a serious expression, forming seals with one hand and maintaining contact with the water to sense the surroundings, which helped him locate Terumi Mei.
Upon seeing that Terumi Mei was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
For Yagura, who was determined to change the status quo of the Hidden Mist Village, the support of Terumi Mei and the bloodline families and elder council behind her was crucial.
Soon, he turned his gaze and saw Uchiha Shi and the threads in his hand.
He confirmed that the traces he had seen on the rooftops along the way were made by this child.
This seemed to be a special technique using threads, similar to what he had seen from the Ninshu Organization during a mission in the Forest Country.
Yagura subconsciously assumed that Uchiha Shi was a friend from a small country that Terumi Mei had met, and he smiled kindly, addressing Uchiha Shi in a friendly and gentlemanly manner:
"It must have been you who saved Terumi Mei, right?"
Uchiha Shi raised an eyebrow, wondering why the other person didn't seem to recognize him.
He responded with a nonchalant "Hmm," his gaze subtly shifting to Hozuki Suigetsu.
Yagura nodded, remembering Uchiha Shi's face, and then said with a smile:
"The situation is quite urgent now, we need to leave immediately."
"If you have the chance, please come to the Hidden Mist Village. I will definitely thank you properly."
With that, he turned to Terumi Mei, Just as he was about to wave her over to leave with them, Hozuki Suigetsu frowned, grabbing Yagura's shoulder and coldly said, "Wait, Yagura."
"What? What's wrong?" Yagura was taken aback, looking up at Hozuki Suigetsu, confused.
However, Hozuki Suigetsu stared coldly at Uchiha Shi and said:
"This brat is a Uchiha ninja."
"Uchiha?" Yagura's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Uchiha Shi standing quietly on the roof.
Indeed, the Uchiha, with their Sharingan, were known for their skill in manipulating threads and shuriken.
After a moment's thought, he shook his head at Hozuki Suigetsu:
"It's fine. We currently have no conflict with Konoha, and completing our mission is the most important thing right now."
"Don't complicate things, let's leave here."
At this moment, the Hidden Mist Village's pursuers were out in full force, targeting Yagura. Every moment of delay increased the risk.
However, in this critical situation, Hozuki Suigetsu didn't move a muscle, turning his head and firmly declaring, "No, Yagura."
He raised his hand, pointing to his bandaged, blind eye, his tone icy, "Do you remember when I told you how I lost this eye?"
"Wait, you mean..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yagura was stunned, looking at the Uchiha brat in disbelief.
Could this be the Uchiha mentioned in the report Terumi Mei had given him?
Hozuki Suigetsu snorted, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes, and he admitted directly:
"Yes, it was this brat who did it."
Then, he bared his sharp teeth and asked coldly:
"Isn't that right, Uchiha... Shi?"
Uchiha Shi's eyes immediately glowed with a pair of crimson Sharingan, and he smiled:
"So, now that it's come to this, do you want me to take out your other eye as well?"
Hozuki Suigetsu chuckled, shaking his head, He immediately drew the large sword from his back, staring coldly at Uchiha Shi, Slowly unwrapping the bandages to reveal the wide, heavy, and sharp Dual Blade Hiramekarei.
A fierce killing intent surged in his eyes!
The atmosphere on the scene became tense, An indescribable pressure spread.
The civilians from the Land of Hot Water, who had been saved by Uchiha Shi, realized something was wrong and retreated in fear, some even diving into the turbulent waters.
Getting involved in a ninja conflict could be fatal!
Honestly, it was better to stay in the water.
At this moment, Terumi Mei also sensed the tension but was unsure what to do with the situation changing so quickly, She stepped forward, placing herself between the three, and said hesitantly:
"Wait, Lord Yagura, Hozuki Suigetsu, you..."
Before she could finish, Uchiha Shi shook his head, interrupting her, and said calmly:
"Go back, Terumi Mei."
Terumi Mei turned her head, her clear green eyes filled with struggle as she looked at Uchiha Shi, about to say something.
However, Uchiha Shi's gaze was utterly calm, almost indifferent:
"Terumi Mei, this is the fate of a ninja."
"As long as we are in this cycle, this is an inevitable fact."
"I remember you once said that we would eventually be opponents, that we would meet again on the battlefield!"
"Although it hasn't been long,"
His gaze hardened, and he took a deep breath, "But now, it seems we've reached this point."
In the next moment, Uchiha Shi suddenly reached for his abdomen!
A pattern resembling an ouroboros appeared on his abdomen, circling his hand.
A surge of dark chakra was unleashed, rushing into every part of his body!
Uchiha Shi's Sharingan, now glowing brightly, Seemed even more eerie!
The chakra caused the tiles on the roof to rattle.
Another battle was about to begin!
At this moment, as a Zero-Tailed Jinchuriki, fully restored and able to use the Ultimate Forbidden Technique again, Uchiha Shi, Facing Hozuki Suigetsu, who had been defeated by his three strikes, What would be the outcome?
Uchiha Shi didn't know, but he was eager to find out!
A storm arose, lifting Yagura of the Kiramei Clan's dark green hair.
The shock, surprise, and hesitation in his eyes vanished, replaced by an icy coldness.
"I understand."
"Although I don't want to waste time here,"
"Unfortunately, you know too much."
He took a deep breath, raising his Ornate Hooked Staff and pointing it at Uchiha Shi coldly.
"For the sake of the Hidden Mist Village, you must die here."
"Don't worry, I'll make it quick, so you won't suffer much."
Hearing these words and seeing the hellish scene of the Thousand Mile Swamp Country, Uchiha Shi couldn't help but laugh.
His eyes narrowed, and he stomped the ground!
The tiles on the roof were shaken loose, and he threw a dozen tiles, which transformed into spinning shurikens, flying towards the two opposite him!
Then, using the cover of the tiles, he charged forward, Forming seals with his hands, he drew the Water Release: Water Fang Blade, His crimson Sharingan flickering, his gaze finally settling on the vortex in the nearby water.
One more chapter, will be posted later.
