I just escaped! Can't you even consider how I feel?!
"May I ask what you're going there for?"
"It's nothing serious, just a friendly spar with the Mizukage."
"Oh, it's just a friendly spar..."
Toyota Ao suddenly realized the meaning of Yi Shuihan's words, and his eyes widened as he looked at Yi Shuihan with a look of utter despair.
"Can you not go, or I can wait for you outside?"
With a long face, Toyota Ao felt that she had already been very considerate by not running away on the spot.
"It's rare for your boss to take you to broaden your horizons, you can't be so timid! You have to have faith in me, I'm someone who has fought dozens of Kage without being defeated. The Kage from the other four major countries have already sparred, only this place is left, don't worry, we won't capsize."
Chapter 355, The Drug-Fueled Style Begins to Bloom
Seeing how easily Yi Shuihan spoke, Toyota Ao also developed a strong sense of belief, as if the so-called Water Shadow was really not that powerful.
It shouldn't matter, right? Didn't he say he had fought dozens of Kage without being defeated?
Fine, I'm already on the same boat as him, so I'll trust him this once.
"Boss, my future is in your hands, so you'd better give it your all!"
However, what exactly is the profession of hot spring resort owner?
With Toyota Ao in front and Yi Shuihan behind, the two entered Kirigakure.
Toyota Qing looked extremely cautious, observing his surroundings every few steps, like a thief. Yi Shuihan, on the other hand, walked behind him as if taking a leisurely stroll, showing no sense of danger whatsoever.
Occasionally, the sounds of fighting could be heard, startling Toyota Ao. However, it seemed their bad luck had run out, and they arrived safely at the Mizukage's office building.
"Here we are, right here."
Yi Shuihan looked at the deserted building with slight surprise, because he did not sense many powerful figures here, which was extremely strange for the center of a major ninja village.
Even the gatekeeper is gone. Is the situation really that bad?
However, this feeling is definitely Kage-level, but I don't know if it's the Mizukage they're looking for.
"Just go in when you get there."
"Do you really want to go in?"
Toyota Ao swallowed hard and asked hesitantly, but the only answer he received was Yi Shuihan's back. Yi Shuihan had already gone inside. Toyota Ao gritted his teeth and finally jogged to catch up.
"Honestly, I was terrified, but my body just wouldn't listen and followed along."
Although there were fewer people in the building now, it was still an important place. Soon, someone stopped Yi Shuihan in front of him. He was wearing a mask and had a dark aura. He was obviously an ANBU member who belonged to the Mist Ninja.
The secret agents did not act immediately, but instead formed a defensive formation, clearly realizing Yi Shuihan's strength, or perhaps that there was something very important ahead that needed to be protected.
"Is Shuiying ahead? If so, go and announce it, just say it's me..." Yi Shuihan originally wanted to announce his name, but suddenly thought that the Water Kingdom might not know his name, after all, the civil war was so fierce.
The sudden pause made the situation somewhat awkward.
"Huh?" Suddenly, a violent tremor came from ahead, accompanied by a huge roar, and two figures shot out.
"Yondaime-sama!"
He exuded an astonishing chakra fluctuation and looked like a young boy; he was none other than the Fourth Mizukage.
This chakra isn't his own. Oh, I see. Is it the Three-Tails? I don't feel like I'm being controlled. That makes sense, Tobi is still doing just fine in Konoha!
Judging from his appearance, he should be a perfect Jinchūriki, capable of controlling a Tailed Beast with his own power.
"And there's another familiar face! Isn't that Kisame Hoshigaki, Itachi's partner?"
The two actually started fighting, and no one knows why.
Who are you two?
The Fourth Mizukage glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki, who had stood up from the ground, and asked Yi Shuihan.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, frowned slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes. It was unclear what he was planning, but one thing was certain: he was in great danger.
"I've finally met you in person. Before the battle, I just want to ask you one question: Do you know the name Yi Shuihan?"
When Yi Shuihan was mentioned, Yagura's eyes visibly flickered.
"It seems you know! That makes things easier. I am Yi Shuihan, and I'm here to open a branch of your hot spring resort. However, I have a favor to ask: I hope you can spar with me."
"So it's true, the boss really did come to spar with the Mizukage." Standing behind Yi Shuihan, Toyota Ao, who had been trying to keep a low profile since the appearance of the Anbu, trembled and his heart pounded violently at several times the normal speed.
Faced with Yi Shuihan's suggestion, Yagura remained silent for a moment before saying, "The Hidden Mist Village doesn't need your hot spring resort."
This answer was absolutely unexpected by Yi Shuihan. Yagura didn't seem to be unaware of the benefits of hot springs, so to refuse like this, Yi Shuihan thought Yagura was a fool.
Their intelligence is appalling! Isolating the country from the world is unacceptable; why can't they understand that?!
Negotiations have broken down, so we have no choice but to resort to tough measures.
"Kill them."
Yagura gave the order, but he himself turned his attention back to Kisame Hoshigaki.
"Hey, you guys over there, since you've managed to get here and want to spar with the Mizukage, you must have some skill, right? How about we team up and escape?"
Kisame Hoshigaki shouted at Yi Shuihan.
The Kisame Hoshigaki of today is not the Kisame Hoshigaki of the future; his strength has not reached its peak, and he still can't defeat Yagura!
"Xiao Qing, I have a task for you. They're all entrusted to you."
Yi Shuihan suddenly said.
Xiao Qing? Eh! Is Xiao Qing talking about me? Feng Tianqing looked at Yi Shuihan in disbelief. Both Yi Shuihan's way of addressing him and the task he was given made him want to leave immediately.
"Are you serious? I'm no match for them at all. You want me to die?"
Knowing his own situation, Toyota Ao looked at the powerful ANBU members in front of him and didn't think he could last more than a few seconds. Let alone all that, even he himself would be in trouble.
"You're spineless. Now that you're my employee, can't you have a little more confidence?"
Yi Shuihan looked at Feng Tianqing with disdain, making Feng Tianqing blush.
"This is……"
Looking at the small bottle that Yi Shuihan had placed in his hand, Feng Tianqing asked in confusion.
"Can't you see it? It's a pill. With this, you shouldn't lose. If you don't believe me, try it and you'll see."
Looking at Yi Shuihan's serious face, Feng Tianqing slowly poured out a jet-black pill from the bottle, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed it.
The next moment, an extremely powerful chakra surge erupted from Toyota Ao's body, its power no less than that of a Kage-level chakra user.
"Wow! The drug-fueled approach is about to shine."
Chapter 356, The Ineffective Water Mirror
"What happened? What did he do? Could it be related to that pill?"
Toyota Ao's change attracted everyone's attention. Even Yagura turned his head back and looked at Toyota Ao with surprise.
"Battle Power Pill" is one of Yi Shuihan's many pills. It has only one function: to unleash the body's strength, allowing it to unleash power far exceeding its limits for a short period of time. The effect lasts for 5 minutes, but the vice president will experience a 3-day period of weakness after the effect wears off.
In truth, this medicine is no longer effective against Yi Shuihan, as its effects are targeted at the Black Iron level.
It's fortunate that Toyota's strength is low, otherwise, this drug would be hard to take.
"You should know about its efficacy and side effects now! Do you still have confidence?"
"The boss's orders are everything; I guarantee the task will be completed."
Having never felt such power before, Toyota Ao was now eager to test his strength. As for the side effects, they were no problem for him. He felt that he could not only increase the duration of the drug's effects to 10 minutes, but also prevent the side effects from flaring up temporarily.
The message that came from his own bloodline limit was that as long as the side effects did not accumulate for a month, they could be forcibly suppressed.
This means that Toyota Blue can maintain this combat power for 100 minutes, and can be used as a regular force.
As for the period of weakness, as long as he can bear it, the time can be shortened. Of course, the price of shortening the time is that what was originally just weakness to an ordinary person becomes a worse state. If it is a state of paralysis where he cannot move, it only takes 3 days a month to recover.
In that case, the already formidable combat power of the pill was amplified dozens of times in the hands of Toyota Ao.
Toyota Ao has engaged in combat with the Anbu members. If it were just a matter of his own strength, he would probably be killed instantly. But now, facing opponents several times stronger than himself, he has gained the upper hand for a time, and it seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be the one to emerge victorious.
"What a bunch of rubbish."
Yagura was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. This drug that greatly increased his strength made him feel threatened.
"In that case, I'll do it myself."
As he spoke, his body released a large amount of chakra, which turned into clothes and wrapped him up.
"Tailed Beast Cloak? My advice is that you'd better use your full Tailed Beast form from the start, or you might regret it if you lose."
The Tailed Beast Cloak, which ordinary people fear immensely, held no deterrent power in Yi Shuihan's eyes.
Not only Yagura, but everyone present who heard these words felt that Yi Shuihan was somewhat arrogant. That was a Tailed Beast! It was known as a calamity-level existence.
Each tailed beast possesses enough power to destroy the world, and capturing a tailed beast requires the entire village to mobilize and pay a huge price to succeed.
"You should worry about yourself! I'll use it when the time comes, but I'm afraid you won't even give me a chance to do it."
Yagura gave a cold laugh and began to form hand seals.
A large amount of chakra began to surge and converge at a single point.
"Water Escape and Water Mirror"
A water mirror appeared in the void, and then Yi Shuihan's image appeared in the water mirror. In the end, an exact replica of Yi Shuihan appeared.
Besides the power of the tailed beast, Yagura also has a signature ninjutsu, this water jutsu, which is indeed very powerful. It can reflect the opponent's human form and give them the same power as the original.
This move would be very troublesome for anyone facing it; it's considered a very difficult ninjutsu to deal with.
Someone whose strength is no less than his own, plus Yagura himself, could be killed if he's not careful.
However, this usually invincible ninjutsu seemed to have encountered a problem this time. The copied Yi Shui Han began to appear illusory after only a few seconds, and then exploded and dissipated into a ball of water.
"How is this going?"
Yagura was stunned, staring blankly at the remaining water. His own technique had simply vanished on its own. It had been so many years since he had learned this technique that he had never encountered anything like this.
"Water Escape and Water Mirror"
Undeterred, he used his ninjutsu again, but the result was the same as before: a copy of Yi Shuihan appeared, but immediately disappeared after it appeared.
"Hey! Are you going to fight or not? Stop messing around, okay? You can't even execute a ninjutsu correctly. You call yourself the Mizukage?"
Yi Shuihan said sarcastically. Of course, he could vaguely guess why this situation had occurred. It was either because his strength was too strong and exceeded Yagura's limit, or because he did not have chakra. After all, this ninjutsu was developed to deal with ninjas, and what ninjas had in common was chakra.
"Although I don't know why my ninjutsu failed on you, don't think that's the end of it. Since that's the case, I'll let you experience true power."
Yagura's form began to change, and an indescribable, terrifying chakra appeared and was continuously compressed.
"crash"
The ceiling began to crack, and the ground began to shake. This transformation was far more terrifying than before. In the blink of an eye, the Water Shadow Building became dilapidated and was in a state where it could collapse at any moment.
Without a doubt, if the fighting continues like this, the building will only be reduced to ruins.
"You forced the Tailed Beast Transformation into a human body? How come you're still conscious?!"
Yi Shuihan still had time to comment, and he was dismissive of the fact that the Dark Side, Toyota Ao, and Kisame Hoshigaki were keeping their distance.
"That guy actually wants to fight the Mizukage in his Tailed Beast form. I really admire his courage. But Samehada seems to really want that kind of chakra!"
Kisame Hoshigaki was already a hundred meters away, staring at Yagura with excitement in his eyes, but he rationally refrained from taking any action, forcefully pressing down the restless sword on his back.
"I'm not playing with you guys anymore. I'm taking care of you all. I'm going to help the boss out!"
During a lull in the fighting, Toyota Ao took a swig from the bottle in his hand, and his speed surged again. In just a few moments, he killed several members of the Anbu. It turned out that he hadn't used his full power before, which was why he was locked in a stalemate with the Anbu. Now, by unleashing all his power, he directly routed the Anbu, and it looked like he was about to kill them all.
Chapter 357, etc., the Third Mizukage
With his second state activated, Yagura's speed reached its limit, far surpassing that of a typical Kage-level fighter.
Although the Three-Tails is not among the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, its boost to Yagura's power is substantial.
"These days, people don't act like decent people; they all like to play with bestiality. They don't understand that the truly powerful ones are humans, and bestiality is just fluff."
Yagura, now standing on all fours, looks just like a miniature Three-Tails, and he's quite adept at human-beast fusion.
I'm going to tear you apart.
Yagura's voice had also become much rougher, and his tone was somewhat irritable. Clearly, the tailed beasts were still affecting him to some extent in this state.
