"Having him here is so fortunate."
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh. "Don't look at Takumi making it look easy, but they are successive Mizukage. Their strength shouldn't be underestimated."
"That's right, but Takumi is Konoha's hero. Having this strength is only fitting."
Guy also nodded excitedly. "This is what makes Konoha proud!"
Kakashi glanced at him but didn't say more.
"You're too terrifying!"
Gengetsu recovered for the fifth time, his face full of panic. "Such destructive power! I'm afraid even Uchiha Madara wouldn't be your match!"
Takumi remained silent, simply punching him apart again, like a machine precisely executing a task.
"Damn it!"
Gengetsu's frustration was indescribable.
He had never been so frustrated before.
If it were the old days, death would just be death.
But now, he couldn't even die if he wanted to.
And he couldn't resist either.
There wasn't much moisture left around, making Water Release Ninjutsu impossible.
Under these circumstances, he could only helplessly reform, then get punched apart by Takumi again.
Each time, he's unable to survive more than two seconds.
He couldn't even finish a complete sentence.
He had lost count of how many times he'd been shattered!
Ten times?
Or twenty?
Gengetsu couldn't be bothered to count anymore.
The opponent was simply too abnormal.
He felt increasingly frustrated inside.
Overwhelmed by anger, when he reformed again, he directly shouted, "Orochimaru! You'll die a horrible death! Hurry up and release the Impure World Reincarnation! Otherwise, I'll reveal the location of your secret base!"
Kakashi suddenly snapped to attention, then quietly retreated, approaching a Jonin. "Orochimaru should be nearby. Can you find his location?"
This Jonin happened to be from the Hyuga Clan's branch family. Understanding, he nodded and quietly activated his Byakugan.
"Not good!"
Kabuto was alarmed. "Those bastards exposed our presence. Konoha's people will definitely come looking!"
"Damn it... Why did I summon this guy?"
Orochimaru's face was full of unwillingness. "I only knew his unique technique was strong, but I never expected his personality to be this terrible!"
"This time, I must learn my lesson. Next time, I absolutely cannot repeat this mistake!"
"Let's go! Kabuto! Staying here is pointless now!"
Orochimaru said, then directly burrowed underground.
Kabuto also swiftly retreated.
"How is it? Found him?"
Kakashi asked.
The Hyuga Clan's Jonin shook his head. "No. Perhaps Orochimaru wasn't here from the start?"
"Unlikely. If he weren't nearby, that person wouldn't have said those threatening words."
Kakashi shook his head.
"Orochimaru probably sensed our movements too and retreated first."
"Hmm?"
Takumi shattered the three once more, waiting for them to reform.
But this time, after the three Mizukage dispersed, they didn't reform.
Orochimaru had canceled the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Over? Seems Orochimaru has given up for now."
Takumi breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, the danger didn't spread to Konoha.
"Well done, Takumi-kun."
Hiruzen arrived belatedly.
He had actually arrived nearby earlier, just hiding and observing.
Now seeing the crisis resolved, he immediately stepped out.
"Hokage-sama!"
The others, seeing Hiruzen, greeted him one after another.
They never expected the Hokage to come personally.
Kakashi sighed inwardly.
Takumi had noticed Hiruzen's movements earlier.
"Hokage-sama, mission accomplished."
Takumi straightened his chest and said.
"You did very well. Do you know who your enemies were?"
Hiruzen asked with a smile.
"They claimed to be Mizukage from Kirigakure. Perhaps they are successive Mizukage reincarnated by Orochimaru using Impure World Reincarnation."
Takumi put on a thoughtful look, guessing as he spoke.
"Correct. They are indeed successive Mizukage."
"You just defeated three successive Mizukage of Kirigakure!"
Hiruzen nodded affirmatively.
Wow!
The surrounding Shinobi immediately burst into an uproar!
Those who arrived earlier had at least heard Takumi's conversation with the three Mizukage, and from the power of the technique they released, they could tell they weren't ordinary.
But those who arrived later only saw Takumi punching them apart one by one.
Now hearing these three were actually Kirigakure's Mizukage, and three at that, they couldn't hold back.
"Holy crap?! Takumi is way too strong! Three Mizukage?!"
"Goodness! Three Mizukage, beaten like three common soldiers!"
"Except for Nidaime Mizukage, the other two didn't even get a chance to speak!"
A group of Konoha's Shinobi looked at Takumi with burning eyes.
'This is Konoha's number one prodigy!'
'Facing three Mizukage simultaneously, he's not even at a disadvantage.'
'Not just not at a disadvantage, but completely overwhelming three Mizukage!'
"Were they really?"
Takumi pretended to look surprised. "This victory was very fortunate. It seems they didn't get to display much of their strength."
"No need to be modest. Regardless of whether they displayed their full strength, you defeating all three is enough proof of your formidable power."
Hiruzen said with a smile. "For now, go back and rest. Leave the remaining matters to others."
"You just returned from a mission. It's rare, so go rest soon."
Takumi nodded. "Then I'll trouble the Hokage-sama."
Soon.
The Konoha's Jonin gathered at the village entrance all dispersed.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu and Kisame, secretly observing from the side, were also dumbfounded.
They thought it would be a big battle, but it turned out to be a one-sided beatdown!
"Let's withdraw too. They've all left. There's nothing more to see."
Kakuzu found a random excuse. "As for his high-temperature Ninjutsu, it does need some research."
Kisame helplessly spread his hands. "I told you, that thing counters Water Release way too much."
"You saw it too. Three Mizukage, ended up unable to even use Water Release. This situation is too absurd!"
"You can figure that out yourself after you go back."
Kakuzu said impatiently. "I have other things to do."
This wasn't false… Kakuzu was still in a hurry to make money, like collecting bounties.
"Then when we return to the organization, I'll trouble you to testify. I wasn't acting crazy, the enemy really was that troublesome."
...
Konoha.
At Kurenai's home.
According to the previous simulation result, no other incidents would occur today.
So Takumi rested very comfortably for the night.
The next morning, struggling to rise from Kurenai's gentle embrace, Takumi yawned and went to wash up.
'Since I just took out three Kage yesterday, I should be able to rest for a while, right?'
Takumi thought while activating the system.
He wanted to check today's situation.
'System! Initiate targeted simulation!'
[Simulation Begins!]
[9:00 AM, going out for a stroll, coincidentally meeting Naruto at Ichiraku Ramen, chatting briefly before leaving.]
[10:00 AM, encountering Sakura. At Sakura's request, you went to Training Ground 4.]
[6:00 PM, you were ambushed at Training Ground 4. Killer B, leading forty Kumogakure's Shinobi, ambushed you there.]
[Killer B fully transforms into the Hachibi. Bijudama wreak havoc on Konoha's buildings. Countless civilians killed or injured.]
[Konoha's Shinobi mobilize en masse. Most Kumogakure's Shinobi are captured or killed. Killer B escapes using a severed tail clone.]
[Begin compiling Konoha's damage report.]
Takumi couldn't help but feel a headache.
'Damn it, here we go again!'
'Why is it seemed endless?'
'Just dealt with Orochimaru's trouble.'
'And now you, the rapping Shinobi, also want to cause trouble?'
