One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

A turtle covered in thorns and with three tails emerged from the water...

"Wow, what a huge turtle!"

An angry roar came from the lake, followed by an astonishing burst of chakra from the lake, with countless water columns shooting out of the lake and blasting wildly towards Kusanagi!

Cao Zhi quickly dodged in a flash. Since he couldn't steal the bloodline this time, he simply changed his target and prepared to give his summoned beast a buffet, and also to show off his strength!

After all, Kirigakure is like the Japanese pirates who might come ashore at any time. They always take advantage of the Fourth Shinobi World War to come to the mainland and plunder. Now that Kusagakure is fat and strong, it might become a target of robbery at any time...

A flash of purple light appeared, and the Void Queen spread her wings, her enormous body, nearly 7 meters tall, standing in mid-air.

"Go ahead and enjoy the buffet this time, but remember, don't just focus on eating. You can only eat every day if you take it slow!"

The Void Queen's disguised female head split open from the middle.

Then, revealing its dense array of sharp teeth, it attacked the three-tailed creature that was still using water jets to attack the lake surface.

The sound of gnawing on bones filled the air, a satisfying crunch, coming from deep underground...

The Three-Tailed Fox unleashed a deafening roar, and dense jets of water relentlessly pounded against the Void Queen. However, the Queen ignored them, clinging tightly to the Three-Tailed Fox's back like a bat, devouring it.

After being injured by the water jet, the Void Queen simply folded her wings, reducing her size to less than four meters. She then quickly moved to the abdomen of the Three-Tails, and the tailed beast's shrill screams echoed endlessly...

The Three-Tails, writhing in unbearable pain, quickly carried the Void Queen towards the bottom of the lake, attempting to alleviate its agony by crashing into the water. This was the first time it had encountered a monster that fed on the chakra of the Tailed Beasts, and the fact that it could devour the chakra of the Tailed Beasts without suffering a backlash was what terrified it the most!

Seeing the scene before him, the Third Mizukage could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. The opponent's summoning beast had driven the Three-Tails, which was skilled in underwater combat, into a desperate situation!

"Damn it, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is still getting used to the game and can't provide any fighting power at all. It seems I'll have to come myself!"

The Third Mizukage burst out of the dense forest, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

Numerous water droplets appeared in the air, so tiny they were almost invisible to the naked eye. Then, like cannonballs, they rained down on the grass.

"You've no martial spirit to launch a sneak attack!"

Lightning crackled around Cao Zhi, allowing him to fly rapidly at low altitudes for a brief period, dodging attacks left and right. Some water droplets easily pierced through trees several meters thick.

Its destructive power was terrifying. Its penetrating power made Cao Zhi gasp in astonishment. While dodging the attack, he also muttered to himself.

"As expected, the shadows of every village should not be underestimated, even if they are not described much in the original work..."

The Third Mizukage and Kusanagi moved away from the lake in perfect unison, because the Three-Tails, already in pain, burst out of the lake, covering its body with the thick carapace on its back, escaping the Void Queen's devouring. At the same time, it rolled rapidly like a wheel, constantly trying to crush the Void Queen who was hiccuping incessantly...

Countless trees were destroyed by the Three-Tails. Its enormous size and unstoppable impact made Kusashi and the Third Mizukage reluctant to risk their lives...

The two arrived at an open space one after the other, and then they began to clash with each other, exchanging sea-style and water-style ninjutsu. The Third Mizukage's water-style ninjutsu was on a completely different level in terms of attack range and power, forcing him to retreat repeatedly!

If it weren't for his highly penetrating water-style ninjutsu, he probably would have been defeated long ago!

The Third Mizukage struggled to hold on, and only when they truly fought one-on-one did they realize the pressure that Yagura and the other ninja swordsmen had faced. The opponent's water jutsu was mediocre, but the sheer volume of water was overwhelming!

They were frantically trying to cover up his actions and restrict his movement. The Third Mizukage really wanted to complain: why was it that even though he was using the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique, the opponent was releasing one Water Release ninjutsu after another, comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu!

Less than an hour later, the Third Mizukage was caught in close combat by Kusashi, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks!

Ninjas are all high-attack, low-defense types; at least most of them are like that before they reach a certain level!

The Third Mizukage was highly skilled in Water Release techniques and possessed good battle intelligence, but when facing Kusanagi in close combat, his taijutsu was utterly ineffective; even his squinty eyes were swollen into panda eyes…

The Third Mizukage unleashed a water whip that enveloped the grass, causing it to spit out a mouthful of bloody stagnation before slamming its hands on the ground.

"Forbidden Technique: Water Dragon Squeezing!"

Countless thin water waves formed small water dragons, attempting to strangle the grass. When one of the water dragons entangled the grass, countless other water dragons immediately coiled around it.

A small water dragon formed on the spot, intertwined to create a spherical water curtain.

The Third Mizukage wore a smug smile.

"Finally, they've taken the bait! Each of these small water dragons is as sturdy as an iron lock. Die, you arrogant fool!"

"Wow, that's amazing! Luckily, it's just a clone of mine..."

"?"

The Third Mizukage turned around in a daze, only to be met with an ever-growing fist...

Two days later………………

"Cao Ying truly has a fine demeanor, such noble character!"

"This is a small token from my Hidden Mist Village, please accept it!"

The scars on the Third Mizukage's face had not completely faded. He was wearing a mask that covered the upper half of his face, leaving only his eyes visible.

He pretended to be enthusiastic as he handed a heavy envelope to Kusashi, and only after the other party had left by boat, satisfied, did the Third Mizukage unleash a terrifying killing intent.

The Third Mizukage clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he spoke to Yagura.

"Starting today, the Mist Ninja in the village, increase your surveillance of all the major bloodline clans!"

"Especially those warmongering lunatics, once they discover any signs of contact with Kusagakure..."

"Initiate a policy of genocide immediately!!!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Yagura's forehead as he involuntarily recalled the scene from two days ago.

Just as Yagura was directing a small number of medical ninjas from Kirigakure to treat the wounded, the sky suddenly darkened, and a man stood atop a hundred-meter-long lightning dragon.

The opponent had a dragon pattern on his right arm, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He was carrying a person who looked like a dead dog when he jumped down from the head of the thunder dragon and threw the unconscious person at his feet.

It was none other than the strongest Mizukage in their village, and the other party even forced them to pay a ransom. If they didn't see 100 million taels of cash within half an hour, they would shave all the hair off the Mizukage's body...

On that day, in order to raise the ransom in a short time, heaven knows how many ninja clans had their gates kicked open by the Hidden Mist Anbu...

What's most infuriating is that after the ransom was paid, the Grass Shadow not only didn't leave, but also had the Third Mizukage wake up and hold an apology banquet...

And it was specifically emphasized that...

"I've heard that your Hidden Mist Village has a Snow Clan, full of handsome men and beautiful women, with exceptionally high looks. Call them over to dance!"

Later, Cao Zhi discovered that most of the beautiful women in the Snow Clan who looked like women were not actually women. He was startled, but still didn't say anything more...

At the banquet, Kusagakure casually stated that Kusagakure welcomes other bloodline families to visit and settle down, and that he hadn't seen such an open attempt to poach people, which made the Mizukage's face darken.

Most ninja clans declined the invitation, except for the Kaguya clan, who were ostracized and not very bright, and they all expressed their eagerness.

"If we have the chance, we'll definitely go to Kusagakure Village and experience its local culture!"

Yagura watched expressionlessly as the Kaguya clan chief, leaning on his cane, waved goodbye in the direction Kusakabe had left.

"This guy is really asking for death..."
