Chapter 342: The Perfect Jinchūriki's Appearance

Facing the Fourth Mizukage who had entered the tailed beast state, Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou did not dare to be careless at all. They planned to keep a sufficient distance from the Fourth Mizukage and use ninjutsu to eliminate him remotely.

However, under the defense of the Tailed Beast Coat, all the water jutsu they performed were in vain. When they couldn't even restrict the opponent's movement, breaking the defense was even more wishful thinking.

After looking at each other, Zabuza and Biwajuuzo decided to attack at close range.

While Zabuza was responsible for the feint attack, Biwa Juzō used his beheading sword to break through the defense of the Fourth Mizukage, making the Fourth Mizukage feel the threat to his life and loosening the control of the illusion, thus breaking the illusion on the Fourth Mizukage.

After a few breaths, Biwa Juzo found a perfect opportunity. He quickly approached the Fourth Mizukage and hit his body with his beheading sword.

However, the Fourth Mizukage took the blow head-on, and coral lines appeared on the wound, spreading towards the beheading sword and Biwa Juzo.

This is a secret technique that can only be used by the Fourth Mizukage after he transforms into a tailed beast. It can turn the enemy's body into coral when it hits the enemy and last until it is cleared or dies.

After realizing that something was wrong, Biwa Juuzou immediately broke the beheading sword and looked at the Fourth Mizukage with a serious face.

Zabuza also had a serious look in his eyes. He approached Biwa Juzo and asked, "Biwa Juzo, is the information you have true or false? Is the Fourth Hokage really being controlled by someone?"

"Don't they say that with enough stimulation, the illusion can be broken?"

Hearing this, Biwa Juzo's face changed slightly, and he frowned and said: "The information cannot be wrong. The only mistake is probably our strength. We are not capable of forcing the Fourth Hokage into a desperate situation."

"You mean we are too weak?"

Zabuza was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but he had to admit that what Biwa Juuzou said was true. Compared with the last time he assassinated the Fourth Mizukage, the strength of the Fourth Mizukage this time had obviously increased a lot.

However, judging from the Fourth Mizukage's calmness, it seemed that he had known their plan for a long time and had been waiting for them in the Mizukage's office for a long time.

Biwa Juzo nodded and continued, "We are indeed very weak, but we don't need to defeat the Yondaime at all. It is enough to delay him here. The Yuanshi's subordinates should be watching from the surroundings."

Zabuza looked around, feeling the vague gazes from all around him, and said with a gloomy face:

"This bunch of fence-sitters don't even know how to come and support us. Aren't they afraid that the Yondaime will completely transform into a tailed beast and destroy the surrounding area?"

Although he was unhappy, Zabuza couldn't cause trouble to others now.

He had no choice but to fight the Fourth Mizukage and try his best to make the Fourth Mizukage feel threatened in his life, otherwise there was really no way to deal with him.

Biwa Juzo had similar thoughts. He only wanted to fight the Fourth Mizukage and had no other thoughts.

……

A few hundred meters away, Mei Terumi and Ao were hiding on the roof with dozens of their subordinates.

Half an hour ago, since Zabuza sneaked into the Mizukage Building, the two of them have been guarding here with their men, watching Zabuza's actions.

When Zabuza entered the Mizukage Building, they both felt very strange.

Logically speaking, the defenses of the Mizukage Building should be very tight and not so weak, but Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou easily sneaked into the Mizukage Building without causing a major war.

There are only two possibilities that led to this situation. One is that Zabuza infiltrated the Mizukage Building with the help of the Master, and the other is that the Fourth Mizukage himself gave the order.

Although Master Yuanshi tacitly approves of their actions, he will never take the initiative to take action.

Therefore, there is only the second possibility. The Fourth Mizukage noticed the movements of Zabuza and Biwa Juzo in recent days and made preparations in advance.

This was also confirmed by the subsequent reaction of the Fourth Mizukage.

Accompanied by a violent roar, the Fourth Mizukage, who had transformed into a tailed beast, pounced towards Zabuza and Biwa Juzo, tearing the ground in just an instant, leaving clear marks on the earth.

Seeing this scene, Qing couldn't help but sighed: "The Fourth Hokage is still as powerful as he was back then. If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage, we might have lost even more miserably on the battlefield between us and Konoha."

Hearing this, Mei Terumi frowned and said rather dissatisfiedly: "Senior Ao, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Use your Byakugan to see if the Fourth Hokage is being controlled by someone."

Qing's expression suddenly became serious, and he sighed and said:

"Zabuza and Biwa Juzo guessed correctly. In addition to his own chakra and the Three-Tails chakra, there is another kind of chakra in the Fourth Hokage's body."

"The Yondaime has truly become someone else's puppet over the years, doing whatever he wants in the Hidden Mist Village."

Terumi Mei's face was covered with a layer of frost. She stared at the Fourth Mizukage in the distance and said, "Senior Ao, is there any way to remove the illusion on the Fourth Hokage?"

"There are many ways to dispel illusions... but they all require subduing the Yondaime first."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Mei Terumi glanced at Qing, then formed seals with her hands and prepared to perform the technique of instant body movement to go to support, but was stopped by Qing.

"Don't go over there yet, wait and see."

Mei Terumi didn't understand Qing's behavior and glared at him.
"Why did you stop me from going over to support you? Do you want Zabuza and Biwa Juzō to consume the Yondaime? These actions can indeed reduce our casualties, but if the scale of the battle continues to expand, it will sooner or later affect the entire village."

Qing smiled helplessly and expressed his concerns:
"I have no intention of stopping you. With your strength, as long as you join the occupation, you will be able to reverse the current unfavorable situation quickly."

"But have you ever thought that helping the Fourth Generation to break free from control is not actually the most important thing."

"Our primary target is not the Yondaime, but the ninja who controls the Yondaime. He might be hiding somewhere watching us right now?!"

Hearing this, Terumi Mei's expression changed. Qing's guess was very likely.

But if the mastermind behind the Fourth Hokage is truly invincible, there is no need to resort to such despicable means as sneak attacks and control. As long as the Fourth Hokage can be brought back to consciousness, everything will be fine.

"Qing, you stay where you are and be ready to provide support at any time. I will go over to support Zabuza and Biwa Juzo now."

After leaving this sentence, Mei Terumi flashed and appeared on the roof in the distance. After a few flashes, she arrived at the battlefield.

Looking at the departing figure of Terumi Mei, Qing's eyes dodged, then he sighed and said: "It seems that I am really old. I am hesitant even for such a small matter. I don't even have the courage to face the Fourth Hokage."

After a pause, Qing said with a firm look in his eyes:

"But momentary enthusiasm and impulse won't accomplish anything great. We must be fully prepared. The mastermind behind the scenes might control the Yondaime to go berserk. We must be prepared to deal with the tailed beasts." At the Mizukage Building.

With Mei Terumi joining the battle, the pressure on Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou was suddenly relieved a lot. Although Mei Terumi was a woman, she had less time to complete the mission than them.

But Mei Terumi, who possesses dual bloodlines, is undoubtedly an elite among the jonin and possesses the strength of the Ninja Swordsmen Shu.

In front of three elite jonin with the strength of the Ninja Swordsmen Shu, even the Fourth Mizukage who had transformed into a tailed beast could not completely suppress them.

After relieving the pressure, Zabuza said to Mei Terumi: "Sister Terumi Mei, I didn't expect you to choose to help us. I thought you would continue to watch the show from behind."

Hearing the title of "big sister", Mei Terumi's face darkened. She looked at Zabuza and said, "Try calling me big sister again? I'm only 26 years old, which is the best age for a woman."

Zabuza didn't give Mei Terumi any face and said, "Twenty-six is ​​not old enough? The other female ninjas in the village are already playing soy sauce at this age."

Hearing this, Mei Terumi couldn't hold it in any longer. She didn't want others to mention her age.

After forming seals with both hands, Mei Terumi spat at Zabuza. The saliva looked like saliva, but it was actually a lava jutsu that was more powerful than sulfuric acid.

After using the knife to block the saliva attack, Zabuza looked at the corroded blade and felt a sense of fear in his heart. This woman was still as scary as before. No wonder he still didn't want her at such an old age.

However, if one wants to force the Fourth Mizukage into a desperate situation, he must rely on Mei Terumi's bloodline limit.

After doing a good job of psychological work, Zabuza said, "Sister Mei Terumi, who is always eighteen years old, let's stop fighting among ourselves and work together to remove the illusion on the Yondaime."

Hearing the title "Forever Eighteen Years Old", Biwa Juzo showed a surprised look, but Terumi Mei was very pleased and nodded slightly.

After discussing the battle plan with their eyes and gestures, the three of them rushed towards the Fourth Mizukage again.

After Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou used physical techniques to restrict the activities of the Fourth Mizukage, Mei Terumi formed seals with her hands and exhaled a large amount of high-temperature steam in one breath.

The extreme high temperature made the Fourth Mizukage very uncomfortable. When he was about to use Wind Release to break it, Mei Terumi used Melt Release to break it.

As a ball of corrosive liquid fell on the Fourth Mizukage, his tailed beast coat was quickly corroded, and soon his exposed skin and muscles were seen.

Seeing this scene, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo were filled with shock.

Their strength is not much different from Mei Terumi, but their destructive power is far inferior to Mei Terumi. No wonder Yuanshi is under tremendous pressure to protect Mei Terumi.

The reason is very simple, the price shown by Mei Terumi deserves protection.

The Mizukage in the Hidden Mist Village must not only be the strongest in the ninja village, but also have to be able to deal with the tailed beasts. Otherwise, the two tailed beasts in the village alone would be enough to give the Mizukage a headache.

Mei Terumi noticed the gazes of Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou and felt very satisfied.

She is going to be the Mizukage in the future. On the road to becoming the Mizukage, she will not allow herself to have any stains. She must become the Mizukage with dignity and without others being able to find fault with her.

After complaining in her heart, Mei Terumi looked at the Fourth Mizukage.

After the tailed beast's outer garments were destroyed and its clothes and skin were corroded, the Fourth Mizukage's eyes changed from indifference to confusion. He looked around in confusion, and then looked at Mei Terumi and others.

"Mei Terumi... Zabuza, why are you here?"

Seeing this scene, Zabuza and others breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their attack had taken effect. Even when his life was threatened and his chakra was in chaos, the Fourth Mizukage broke free from the control of the illusion.

Thinking of this, Zabuza walked towards the Fourth Mizukage and said, "Fourth-generation, you were controlled by someone using illusions before, and you issued many orders that were harmful to the village, making the village a mess..."

The Fourth Mizukage scratched his head and said:

"Is that so? I feel like I was dreaming and only woke up now. Can you tell me what year it is now? What exactly happened?"

Zabuza nodded, and walked towards the Fourth Mizukage step by step. But he stopped before he got close to the Fourth Mizukage, and said with cold eyes:

"It would take three days and three nights to explain all the things you did wrong. You might as well just die to atone for your sins."

"Die as atonement?" After hearing this, Mei Terumi was stunned, not understanding why Zabuza said such a thing. Biwa Juzo, on the other hand, reacted and stared at the Fourth Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage showed an annoyed expression and said to Zabuza:
"You have to tell me what happened. Why do you want me to die right away? After all, I am the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village. Besides, after I die, who can protect the Hidden Mist Village?"

Hearing this defiant tone, Mei Terumi also reacted.

The Fourth Mizukage still hasn't gotten rid of the control, and now the mastermind behind the Fourth Mizukage is talking to them, trying to sneak attack the three of them by pretending to be awake.

Thinking of this, Mei Terumi looked at Zabuza and gave him a thumbs up.

Although he was often dissatisfied with Zabuza because of the way Zabuza addressed him, Zabuza's observation ability was impeccable. He was able to keenly perceive the status of the Fourth Mizukage.

Zabuza felt a little embarrassed being stared at by Mei Terumi.

What he said to the Fourth Mizukage just now was not a test at all. He really wanted the Fourth Mizukage to die. No matter whether the Fourth Mizukage was controlled or not, the Fourth Mizukage must die.

As the supreme leader of the Hidden Mist Village, the Mizukage must be responsible for the Hidden Mist Village, and the Fourth Mizukage must also pay the price for his own incompetence.

When Zabuza was looking at the Mizukage, Obito, who was secretly controlling the Mizukage, was also looking at them.

After taking a breath for more than ten seconds, Obito could clearly feel that the control of the illusion was loosening. If the battle continued at such a high intensity, Karatachi Yagura and the Three-Tails would sooner or later break free from the control of the illusion.

Instead of letting Karujutsu Yagura escape control, it would be better to do something with the remaining eye power in his body.

After taking a deep breath, Obito used the remaining eye power in this body to control Yagura Karatachi and the Three-Tails, allowing them to enter full tailed beast state and activate rampage mode.

As the illusion was activated, the body of the Fourth Mizukage was surrounded by a huge ball of chakra.

Then it expanded rapidly, and its body changed from a small child into the appearance of Isobu, and instantly became a huge monster almost the size of a mountain.

This is the true form of the Three-tailed Isobu, the perfect Jinchūriki in his liberated posture.
