Chapter 456 The Flying Three-Tails Inflicts Pain on Kirigakure
"What is that??"
Atop the three tails, Ishikawa's eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked at the other version of himself rushing out of the mirror, then he swung his sword down fiercely.
"Crackling and popping—"
Two identical figures flashed with lightning, and a piercing electric shock resounded throughout the entire area. Mizukage Ishikawa then transformed into a shower of water that scattered in all directions!
In that split second, the "Water Escape: Water Prison Technique" was unleashed.
The Fourth Mizukage arrived in an instant, formed hand seals, and shouted. The water around Ishikawa suddenly contracted, turning into a water prison that trapped the unsuspecting Ishikawa inside!
“Now you can’t escape, Konoha’s messenger.” The Fourth Mizukage connected his staff to the water prison to control the situation, then looked confident and calm. “Stop the Three-Tails, and perhaps we can talk.”
"Talk? You think you can control my water clones?" Ishikawa sneered eerily from inside the water prison, before transforming into a stream of water and merging into the prison under the horrified gaze of the Fourth Mizukage.
"Not good!!" The Fourth Mizukage's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to leave his spot, a blinding blade suddenly erupted beside him.
He instinctively swung his bat to block at the limit, but the extremely sharp blade was like lightning and there was no time to stop it.
"Lord Mizukage!!"
In the nick of time, an ANBU suddenly appeared and blocked the long sword's edge with his body. However, the rapidly erupting chakra blade still pierced through the ANBU's body, swiftly slicing across the Mizukage's cheek like lightning, leaving a thin, long gash below his right eye...
"Damn it, how could this be?"
Instinctively pulling back and creating distance, the Fourth Mizukage wiped the blood from his cheek and couldn't help but look horrified.
If it weren't for the ANBU sacrificing themselves to save him, that one stab would have either killed him or seriously injured him!
Damn it, when did Konoha produce another monster Jonin like this? His swordsmanship is on par with the legendary White Fang of Konoha!!
No wonder the other party became the Jonin leading this negotiation team, whose status is even above that of Violent Rose, one of the three minor ninjas of Konoha.
This is Konoha demonstrating its war prowess against them!
"As expected of the Fourth Mizukage, he was able to dodge that attack." On the other side, Ishikawa held up the White Fang and praised with a smile.
Out of the corner of his eye, however, he inadvertently glanced at the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Three-Tailed Fox beneath his feet. This was the secret to his instantaneous teleportation and the source of his confidence in taking Lin away.
He didn't intend to kill the Fourth Mizukage; he just wanted to teach him a lesson, end the battle, and make Kirigakure experience pain and despair so that they could eventually sign a peace treaty.
"So now, what decision do you intend to make, Lord Mizukage...?"
Suddenly, a playful glint appeared in Ishikawa's eyes as he turned and nodded to Mio.
"Roar~~"
The next instant, the Three-Tails suddenly raised its head and roared, rapidly condensing purplish-black chakra in its mouth, ready to unleash its power!
"It's a Tailed Beast Ball! Oh no, we absolutely can't let the Three-Tails use that..." Upon seeing this, the Fourth Mizukage's eyes widened in horror, and he immediately shouted an order.
Upon hearing this, the Hidden Mist Villagers who had rushed over all changed color and formed hand seals, preparing to unleash ninjutsu on the Three-Tails to interrupt it.
"Sorry, your opponent is me." Seeing that Kirigakure was about to make a move, Ishikawa calmly and swiftly threw out several kunai and shuriken, forming a hand seal with his right eye.
"Lightning Release: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique".
Suddenly, countless ninja tools, crackling with lightning, erupted like a rainstorm, engulfing the Hidden Mist Village members and instantly disrupting their ninjutsu, scattering them in disarray and leaving many dead or wounded...
"Damn it! Is this guy's ninjutsu that good too??"
The Fourth Mizukage's expression changed drastically once more, his eyes widening in fury. With a steely resolve, he bit his finger and rapidly formed hand seals, chanting, "Summoning Jutsu..."
With a bang, a strangely shaped, lifelike broadsword covered in deep blue barbs appeared at Shuiying's feet as white smoke drifted by.
"Samehada, whether we can stop the Three-Tails depends on you!" Reaching in and grabbing the hilt of the sword, the Mizukage's eyes flashed with determination as he swung the greatsword Samehada and hurled it away.
Under the expectant gaze of the Fourth Mizukage, Samehada swept across the sky and excitedly and greedily bit into the neck of the Three-Tails. Its sharp fangs pierced through the Three-Tails' tough skin, frantically absorbing the Three-Tails' chakra to interfere with its opponent.
"Now! Everyone, help stop the Three-Tails. I'll take care of that guy..."
Seeing the rapidly condensing Tailed Beast Ball become unstable and slow down, the Fourth Mizukage roared and charged straight at Ishikawa again.
Ishikawa's eyes lit up as he was about to retrieve Samehada when the Mizukage swung his staff again, unleashing a "Coral Staff Four-Hit Combo!!"
At the same time, the nearby Hidden Mist members also completed their hand seals, unleashing "Combined Water Release: Water Whip Lock".
Puff puff puff puff puff...
Countless thick water chains, as thick as thighs, shot into the sky, binding the three-tailed unicorn's limbs and three tails from various angles. At the same time, members of the Hozuki clan unleashed their water transformation techniques to further strengthen and reinforce the water-style chains.
"Kaguya clan, follow me! Now is the moment to unleash the power of the Corpse Bone Pulse!" Almost simultaneously, a burly man with a strangely styled topknot roared bloodthirstyly.
Behind him were dozens of burly men of similar appearance, whose sharp bone spikes suddenly emerged from their chests and backs as they lunged at the Three-Tailed Fox.
"Snow Clan, use Ice Release to show the Three-Tails how powerful we, the Minazuki Clan, are!" At the same moment, another handsome man urged, forming hand seals.
Several Jonin behind him simultaneously formed hand seals and unleashed their power. Countless sharp ice spikes suddenly shot out from under the Three-Tails' feet, seemingly trying to pierce through the Three-Tails and kill it!
In the blink of an eye, just as the Hidden Mist Clan launched their combined attack, Ishikawa's left eye glowed crimson as he surveyed the entire scene, while his right eye simultaneously formed hand seals at lightning speed.
"Trying to gang up and ambush? Hah! Mizukage, have you ever seen a flying Three-Tails?"
"What??" The Fourth Mizukage was a little confused upon hearing this, looking at Ishikawa, who was fighting him in taijutsu, with no idea what was going on.
A three-tailed fox can fly? Are you kidding me??
That guy, isn't he a tailed beast that's not proficient in water-style techniques?
But just as he was about to say something, he saw Ishikawa, while wielding his sword in battle, curl the corner of his mouth into a smile, and shout, "Peacock Mystic Technique: Wings!!"
The next instant, to the Mizukage's astonishment, purple chakra wings suddenly sprouted from behind Ishikawa, and with a single flap, they sent him flying...
Immediately afterwards, the opponent was enveloped in crimson, and the purple chakra wings turned crimson in the blink of an eye, rapidly expanding into a pair of wings with a diameter of fifty centimeters that blotted out the sky.
With a whoosh of flapping wings, the violent wind pressure instantly blinded all the mist-covered beings, and the water chains binding their bodies were also broken free!
Just before the Ice Release bone spikes pierced its feet and lower abdomen, the Three-Tails soared into the sky.
"It can... it can fly? The Three-Tails really is flying..."
"How is this possible? How could such a thing happen!"
"A Jinchūriki! That guy is a Jinchūriki too!!"
The Hidden Mist members, including the Fourth Mizukage, were all stunned and speechless, their scalps tingling with dread as they struggled to accept this horrifying scene.
Regardless of what they thought, Ishikawa, who had flown into the sky, remained indifferent, and the Three-Tailed Beast Ball rapidly condensed in its mouth.
"Let them feel the pain, Lin..."
