"With Lord Isamu here, we're basically just spectators. There's no need for us to step in at all," a few of them said, exchanging glances and shaking their heads helplessly.
"What are you all thinking about? Keep your eyes sharp. Don't let me catch you slacking when I actually need you," Zhan snapped before turning his attention back to the battlefield.
Listening to the screams of his subordinates, Hozuki Eiji cursed them as useless. "Fall back to my position, now!"
At his command, the Kirigakure forces hurriedly regrouped around him.
Seeing them retreat, Isamu didn't pursue. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Hozuki Eiji, a faint, mocking smile forming on his lips.
"So this is the Hidden Mist Village? Nothing impressive."
Hearing this, Hozuki Eiji ground his teeth audibly. "If I had time to gather the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and our elite forces, do you really think you'd still be standing there?"
"And yet you still dare to act so arrogantly? Take this!"
"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"
He shaped his hand like a pistol, and a drop of water formed at his fingertip before firing toward Isamu.
Seeing the attack, Isamu's expression sharpened slightly.
The Hozuki Clan's Water Gun Technique—simple in appearance, but terrifying in power.
Bang!
Isamu sidestepped, and the ground where he had stood was blasted into a crater.
"Fast and powerful. Not bad at all," Isamu said with a provocative smile.
"You dodged that one—but let's see how long you can keep it up!"
"Water Release: Continuous Water Gun Technique!"
Hozuki Eiji began firing rapidly.
"Whoa, that's a lot. Let's see you try!"
Isamu dashed across rooftops, weaving through the attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shots missed him, instead destroying buildings behind him.
"Damn it! Take this—dual-wield continuous Water Gun!"
Using both hands, Hozuki Eiji fired relentlessly.
"Now that's excessive," Isamu muttered, increasing his speed.
But the barrage gradually closed in.
"Hahaha! You're finished!" Hozuki Eiji roared, pouring even more Chakra into the attack.
Just as the shots were about to hit—
Isamu stopped moving.
He stood still.
The water bullets passed straight through his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The buildings behind him were destroyed instead.
Hozuki Eiji frowned.
"Intangibility… troublesome."
"Hahaha, Third Mizukage, let's end this game. I'll explain why I came here."
Isamu waved a hand, signaling a pause.
"Purpose? Say what you want—then prepare to die," Hozuki Eiji replied coldly.
"I'll say it clearly. I, Uchiha Isamu, represent—"
He repeated the same declaration he had given to Raikage Ay.
After hearing it, Hozuki Eiji froze for a moment—then burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! That's the funniest joke I've ever heard. Without Konoha backing you, the Uchiha dare declare war on the Four Great Villages? That's suicide!"
"You're called 'Asura' in the ninja world? What a joke. If anyone deserves that title, it's me."
As a prodigy of the Hozuki Clan and the "Star of Hope" of Kirigakure, he had absolute confidence in his abilities.
Seeing his reaction, Isamu lost interest.
"I've never seen someone this delusional. Maybe this will help you understand reality."
"Hah! The reality is—you die today! Everyone, prepare Ninjutsu! We'll crush him with overwhelming force!"
As the Kirigakure forces began forming seals—
Isamu closed his eyes.
Then opened them.
Sage Mode activated, markings spreading across his face.
Within his mind, he spoke calmly:
"Son Goku, I need your power."
"No problem. I'll supply Chakra immediately."
Isamu raised his hand.
A sharp, high-pitched sound filled the air as a blazing red Rasenshuriken formed above his palm.
It kept growing…
…until it reached nearly ten meters in size.
The Kirigakure forces froze.
"You've got to be kidding… That level of Chakra density… If that explodes, half the village will be destroyed!"
"Hozuki Eiji, if you survive this, I'll be waiting at the northern border of the Land of Fire in one month."
"Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken!"
Remembering his goal, Isamu adjusted his aim—
—and hurled it toward the buildings behind them.
"Goodbye, Third Mizukage."
In an instant, he activated Kamui and transported everyone to a distant hill.
"Damn you, Isamu, you lunatic!" Hozuki Eiji roared.
"Everyone! Defensive Ninjutsu—now!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"
Barriers rose rapidly.
On the hill, the others looked back nervously.
"Lord Isamu… are we just letting them—"
"Quiet."
Isamu raised a finger.
"Watch closely."
He pointed toward the village.
"…Detonate."
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion erupted.
A massive mushroom cloud shot into the sky.
Half of Kirigakure was wiped out in an instant.
Shockwaves flattened everything in their path, and countless shinobi were caught in the blast.
Everyone stared at the devastation… then subconsciously swallowed.
Isamu smiled faintly.
"Next time anyone acts up in front of me…"
"I'll plant a mushroom on them too."
Everyone immediately shook their heads violently.
Even Zhan did the same.
That kind of "mushroom"?
Yeah—no one wanted that.
