Chapter 83: Crushing a Tailed Beast Ball with One Hand, Mei Terumi is Shocked!
"Who is that young man?"
"Lady Mei Terumi seems to value him very highly!"
"Is he a genius Ninja from the Village? Why don't I recognize him?"
"I remember the Top Graduate of this class was named Chojuro, wasn't it?"
Mei Terumi's subordinates began to gossip about Byakuya.
The good news was, they were right.
Chojuro really was the Top Graduate of this class.
The bad news was, Chojuro was actually the Top Graduate!
On the other side, Byakuya, at the center of the discussion, remained neither humble nor arrogant.
Byakuya simply watched the scene calmly.
If Zabuza was truly in danger, he would take action!
"By the way, Byakuya, you must be very careful later."
"I'll find an opportunity to save Zabuza!"
Mei Terumi reached out to shield Byakuya behind her.
After all, she held a high and powerful position in the Hidden Mist Village.
The Fourth Mizukage wouldn't necessarily do anything to her.
Then, as if remembering something...
"Ao, come here for a moment!"
Mei Terumi waved and called Ao over.
"Lady Mei Terumi!"
In the distance, Ao, who was leading a small squad of Hidden Mist Ninja, was a bit surprised to hear Mei Terumi's voice, but he obediently came over.
"Ao, use your Byakugan to observe the Fourth Mizukage."
"See if there's anything unusual about him!"
Mei Terumi recalled what Byakuya had told her and decided to investigate today.
Usually, it wasn't easy to see the Fourth Mizukage.
But to Ao's ears, those words sounded a bit off.
What does this mean? She wants me to spy on the Fourth Mizukage?!
Even if Ao were the bravest man alive, he wouldn't dare.
But in the next second, Mei Terumi voiced her suspicion.
"I suspect the Fourth Mizukage might be under someone's control!"
"That's why I want you to use your Byakugan to check!"
Hearing this news, Ao felt it was utterly inconceivable, as if he had just uncovered a massive secret.
"Understood!"
In the ongoing battle, Zabuza was already at a disadvantage.
It couldn't be helped; he had only wanted to kill a few of the Fourth Mizukage's men to replenish the iron in his executioners blade.
He didn't expect to be discovered.
And he happened to be cornered by the Fourth Mizukage himself.
Zabuza's scalp was tingling with dread.
He couldn't win; he couldn't win at all.
Even against the Fourth Mizukage without his Jinchuriki state active, Zabuza was no match.
Not to mention the Fourth Mizukage's even stronger Tailed Beast Transformation.
As the Hidden Mist Village's Perfect Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage's strength after Tailed Beast Transformation was not to be underestimated.
Zabuza was indeed a bit lacking compared to his seniors.
When Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Jūzō fought Yagura Karatachi back then...
...it was entirely because Yagura Karatachi couldn't beat the two of them in his normal state.
...which is why he activated his Tailed Beast Transformation.
But the problem Zabuza Momochi faced now was that the opponent could suppress him even without undergoing Tailed Beast Transformation.
"Byakugan!"
Ao revealed his Byakuya and began to observe the Fourth Mizukage.
At this moment, Ao even felt a bit worried.
After all, if the Fourth Mizukage found out he was using the Byakugan to observe him without permission at this time...
His end would likely be miserable.
Make no mistake, the Fourth Mizukage's current cruelty far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Sometimes Ao even wondered...
Did the Fourth Mizukage have a grudge against everyone in the Hidden Mist Village!?
Otherwise, why would the Fourth Mizukage push the people of the Hidden Mist Village to such extremes?
But in the next second, Ao discovered something abnormal.
"This is...?"
Ao showed immense shock after seeing it through the Byakugan.
"Why is the Chakra inside the Fourth Mizukage's body so chaotic!"
One must know that the Byakugan can clearly see the opponent's meridians, pressure points, and the flow of Chakra, and can see through objects.
It possesses the Telescope Eye to perceive things at a distance and the Insight Eye with powerful observation skills.
By using Chakra to multiply the eye's capabilities, it can see everything within a one-kilometer radius, possessing insight that surpasses the Sharingan.
At this moment, Ao could clearly see a trace of Genjutsu Chakra on the Fourth Mizukage.
The Fourth Mizukage is under a Genjutsu!
Moreover, the traces of this Genjutsu Chakra on the Fourth Mizukage were too deep.
He had been controlled by Genjutsu for nearly ten years!
If this news were to spread, it would likely cause an uproar.
The dignified Mizukage had actually been controlled for decades.
And during that time, no one had been able to detect anything unusual.
After deactivating his Byakugan, Ao's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
He slowly approached Mei Terumi.
"Lady Mei Terumi, the Chakra in the Fourth Mizukage's body is exceptionally turbulent, and I also saw the presence of a trace of Genjutsu Chakra!"
Ao replied with an extremely serious expression.
"It's actually true!"
Mei Terumi was equally shocked.
She then looked at the calm Byakuya.
She became even more curious about Byakuya!
How did he know Ao had the Byakugan, and how did he know the Fourth Mizukage was being controlled?
So many people in the Hidden Mist Village hadn't noticed for the ten years since the Fourth Mizukage took office.
"Now, you should think about what to do!"
Byakuya said nonchalantly.
"If it really doesn't work, I could..."
"You must be careful about your safety later; I might not have time to look after you!"
Mei Terumi's words interrupted Byakuya.
Even at this point, Mei Terumi was still worried about Byakuya's safety.
"Ao, tell everyone the news later, then approach the Fourth Mizukage in a surrounding formation!"
"You two brats!"
At this time, Mei Terumi looked at Suigetsu Hozuki and Haku again.
"Remember to protect Byakuya later. If he gets injured, you two are finished!"
Mei Terumi gave them a death stare.
But this truly left Suigetsu Hozuki and Haku bewildered.
What does she mean? Is she asking us to protect Lord Byakuya?
Lord Byakuya could hang them up and beat them with one hand.
Asking us to protect Lord Byakuya?
Is that right? That can't be right!
"Sigh, actually, there's no need for you to do everything yourself. I can help you!"
Byakuya saw that Mei Terumi was foolish enough to want to take it all on herself and tried to persuade her.
But Mei Terumi just shook her head and said:
"I know that being able to subdue Zabuza has already put you far ahead of your peers."
"But the Fourth Mizukage is different from others!"
"Yagura Karatachi is a Kage-level powerhouse himself, plus his status as the Three-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Ordinary people are simply no match for him!"
Mei Terumi's expression became extremely serious.
She even considered having Suigetsu Hozuki and Haku take Byakuya away later.
"I have already sent word to Elder Gen-shi; someone will seal off this area next!"
Mei Terumi said slowly to Byakuya.
Actually, now wasn't the best time to have a falling out with the Fourth Mizukage.
A single Zabuza wasn't worth them doing this.
But delays breed trouble!
Mei Terumi couldn't guarantee that the person controlling the Fourth Mizukage wouldn't take the opportunity to strike again.
At this moment, Mei Terumi's status in the Village was evident.
After she issued the order to capture the Fourth Mizukage...
The Ninjas behind her didn't even doubt it.
One must know, she had bypassed Elder Gen-shi to make this decision privately.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"
Mei Terumi formed Hand Seals, then spat out a sticky and highly corrosive acidic liquid from her mouth.
Yagura Karatachi never imagined Mei Terumi would betray him.
Fortunately, his years of accumulated intuition allowed him to dodge at the critical moment.
But even so, his back was still corroded by the sudden Lava Release technique.
"Mei Terumi, you actually dare to betray the Hidden Mist Village!"
A trace of anger appeared on Yagura Karatachi's face.
But it couldn't exactly be called anger.
It was as if he were being controlled.
No matter how his expression changed, it felt very stiff.
"Form the array!"
Then Ao led the Ninja squad to surround Yagura Karatachi.
Then they simultaneously unleashed Water Release techniques!
"Wind Release: Typhoon Overcoming!"
Yagura Karatachi remained expressionless.
Then, with a single Wind Release Ninjutsu, he directly shattered all the Water Release techniques... "Lord Byakuya, do we need to act?"
Haku glanced around.
It seemed these Hidden Mist Ninjas couldn't really play much of a role.
Bang!
The surrounding Chakra aura began to spread.
A tail began to appear behind Yagura Karatachi.
Simultaneously, a Tailed Beast Ball began to condense.
"It's a Tailed Beast Ball!"
Mei Terumi instinctively prepared to block it.
Boom!
"This is?"
Mei Terumi suddenly noticed a figure appearing in front of her.
"Byakuya?"
Before Mei Terumi could react, she saw an even more ridiculous scene.
Byakuya actually stopped the Fourth Mizukage's Tailed Beast Ball with one hand.
Seeing this scene, Mei Terumi gasped.
"Quick, throw it away! It'll explode!"
Mei Terumi desperately wanted to rush forward and pull Byakuya away.
But in the next second, Byakuya's hands turned into a mass of liquid, enveloping the Tailed Beast Ball.
Crack!
The Tailed Beast Ball was physically crushed by Byakuya.
"Ah, this!"
Mei Terumi was completely dazed the moment she lunged over.
Where did that huge Tailed Beast Ball go just now?
"You're making too much of a fuss."
Byakuya sighed slightly.
Because Mei Terumi was so close.
Byakuya inadvertently saw her exquisite face; her watery eyes were full of confusion.
The unique charm of a mature woman was like a lush begonia flower.
It must be said, even for Mei Terumi, who had never even had a boyfriend.
For some reason, there was always a mature charm about her.
Of course, Mei Terumi's curvaceous figure could even compete with Senju Tsunade's.
Even compared to those two "giant peaks," she was only slightly inferior.
On the other side, Yagura Karatachi became extremely cautious upon seeing Byakuya.
"Who are you? A helper brought by that Mei Terumi?"
It was hard to imagine Yagura Karatachi, with his child-like appearance, saying such things.
There was a mysterious sense of beauty to it.
"From now on, I suggest you don't hold back the Three-Tails' power."
"Otherwise, it'll be hard for me to enjoy myself!"
Byakuya spoke indifferently to Yagura Karatachi, who wasn't even as tall as his shoulder.
"Hmph, if I use the Three-Tails' power, I'm afraid you'll die a painful death!"
Yagura Karatachi said expressionlessly.
"Byakuya, no need to talk too much with him, let's attack together!"
Mei Terumi wiped her pink lips with her hand.
She prepared to join Byakuya in his attack, but was unexpectedly stopped by him.
"Instant Shadow Killing Array!"
5.3
Subsequently, Byakuya turned into a phantom and rushed towards Yagura Karatachi.
"Hmph, you dare use Ninjutsu before me!"
"Water Release: Water Mirror Jutsu!"
Yagura Karatachi took a large step back.
"Byakuya, be careful, this is the Fourth Mizukage's unique Ninjutsu."
"It can create a mirror made of water, and a person exactly like the enemy will appear in the mirror, capable of using the same Ninjutsu as the opponent with the same power."
Mei Terumi quickly spoke up to warn him.
But in the next second, her expression began to turn into shock.
"What's going on? Why isn't it working!!"
Yagura Karatachi was encountering such a scene for the first time.
The Byakuya that appeared in the mirror couldn't use any Ninjutsu at all.
"How is this possible!"
How many Ninjas had Yagura Karatachi defeated using this Ninjutsu?
Countless genius Ninjas had died under this move.
Yet, when facing Byakuya, it seemed as if it had failed.
This was also the first time Yagura Karatachi had encountered his Ninjutsu failing.
But in the next second, Byakuya had already arrived behind him.
"So fast!"
Yagura Karatachi's eyes widened to their limit.
"Bang!"
Subsequently, Yagura Karatachi was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
The powerful impact sent him crashing back a hundred meters.
"This, this is too exaggerated!"
Mei Terumi was completely stunned by this scene.
