Chapter 199 Verification of Four Eyes
Rewind a bit, to a forest on the outskirts of the battlefield, where the duel between Juzo Biwa and Yagura Karatachi was nearing its end.
Seeing that Juzo Biwa was about to be defeated, the furious Yagura Karatachi was ready to kill him.
With his staff once again deflecting the sweeping guillotine, Yagura Karatachi easily overpowered Juzo Biwa with superhuman strength that belied his petite stature, and then kicked him away.
Then, he formed a hand seal with one hand.
"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"
The water flow transformed into bullets, densely firing at the retreating Pipa Juzo.
Just as this veteran of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was about to meet his end, in a very dramatic turn of events, Juzo Biwa suddenly spoke up.
"I surrender! I admit I was wrong, Yagura Karatachi, you are innocent."
As he spoke, Uchiha Shisui, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately made his move.
Zero-frame Susanoo drew his Spiral Sword and swept it horizontally, not only blocking all the water bullets but also forcing back the Kirigakure members who wanted to pursue him.
Yagura, who already had a bad temper, became even more furious.
"Damn it! When you see members of the Anbu, address them by their rank or code name, not by my real name!"
Furthermore, you immediately pinned the blame for the Mizukage's murder on me the moment you appeared, and now you're casually making a mistake yourself.
"You think I have no temper? You can hit me whenever you want, and stop whenever you want!"
Pipa Shi Zang sighed silently in his heart.
He was also helpless about this.
One of his missions on this trip was to test Yagura.
In fact, he wanted to know the truth about the Mizukage's death more than anyone else. During his escape, Shiba Kiyokawa took advantage of this and brought him into the Akatsuki organization.
It is said that Juzo's arrival at the Hibiki Clan was also a matter of fate, as he was destined to be connected with the Akatsuki organization.
Putting aside the fact that he joined Akatsuki after becoming a traitor in the original story, in this life alone, he didn't actually intend to go to the Land of Rain after leaving Kirigakure.
Having grown weary of war and slaughter, he initially only intended to live out his remaining days in a secluded little country.
The result was quite a coincidence: the small country he had chosen was recently annexed by the Akatsuki organization.
Pipa Juzo never dreamed that, despite his intention to avoid the Land of Rain, he would choose a small country that didn't border the Land of Rain.
Unfortunately, Shiba Kiyokawa recently seized the opportunity in the Grass Country to sweep through the surrounding small countries, and the borders of the territory under his control have been expanding outwards.
As it expanded, it eventually included the small country for retirement that Pipa Juzo had chosen.
When Shiba Kiyokawa, along with Konan and two ninja cats, blocked his doorstep, Biwa Juzo was completely bewildered.
No, buddy?
Is it really that hard for me to retire?
At that moment, Kiyokazu Shiba was still trying to struggle, but he was frozen in place by a single sentence from Kiyokazu Shiba.
"Do you want to know the truth about the blood mist? Do you want to truly live?"
"The truth about the Blood Mist? What truth is there about the Blood Mist? Kid, what are you talking about?"
"Cooperate with my plan and help me test someone. After the mission is over, no matter the outcome, I will tell you the truth you want."
At that time, Juzo Biwa pretended to be reserved, snorted coldly, and retorted, "Why should I believe you?"
Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately drew his katana.
After appreciating the swordsmanship of the first generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Shiba Kiyokawa, stepping on the chest of the fallen Pipa Juzo, asked in a very kind manner.
"Do you believe it now?"
"...I believe you, I really believe you! Please tell me the truth! Please!"
Shiba Kiyokawa then informed him of the preliminary plan for the operation and arranged for Biwa Juzo to go to the Cat Village, where he used the identity of an old friend of Aizen to meet with Uchiha Shisui.
At that time, the person that Shiba Kiyokawa entrusted to Hiwa Juzo to conduct the test was none other than Yagura Karatachi!
Even the prophetic abilities of time travelers are not omnipotent. Just like Shiba Kiyokawa doesn't know whether Yagura Karatachi was under genjutsu control before Obito fell into evil.
Even if you know the plot, you can't make a definite judgment on this kind of thing; you can only try to test and verify it yourself.
That's why we had that scene where Kikunojo sought out Yagura and started a fight as soon as they met.
However, based on the current tests, with the cross-verification of three Sharingan and one Byakugan, neither Konoha nor Kirigakure has detected anything unusual about Yagura Karatachi.
That's enough to tell you that the other party hasn't been harmed yet.
Yagura Karatachi was unaware that his battle was actually a heart-stopping test on the brink of death!
He was still shouting.
"Look, those bastards from Konoha have finally made their move! Juzo Biwa, you still say you haven't betrayed the village?!"
Upon hearing this, Suigetsu Hozuki, the captain of the first squad of the Anbu and the highest-ranking person present, gripped Samehada tightly and said in a deep voice.
"In that case, let's take them down!"
Suigetsu Hozuki had the least aversion to killing his former comrade.
He knew very well that whether he was in the Seven Musketeers in the past or now as the captain of the Dark Army, he was not the strongest one. But no matter where he was, he was the one with the highest status and the top dog. He relied on his ruthlessness!
But before the six secret service teams present could reach a consensus, another unexpected event occurred!
The captain of the sixth squad of the Dark Division, a captain who was usually inconspicuous and had a very low profile, suddenly raised his head, presumptuously took over the command, and spoke.
"Never mind the three here for now, the mission has changed! The container for the Three-Tailed Plan has been found. Everyone, listen up, follow me immediately to capture the container!"
The first captain, Suigetsu Hozuki; the second captain, Yagura Karatachi; and the third captain, Mei Terumi, all turned their heads to look at the sixth captain, who had inexplicably found the courage to issue orders.
However, the other party casually pulled out two important tokens the next moment.
"The Commander's token is here, and this is the order left by the Mizukage before his death. During this special period, I will take full control of the Anbu!"
"Now, everyone, listen to my command, immediately move out to capture the container, move out!"
At that moment, all the other team leaders were stunned.
No one expected that the Sixth Captain, who was usually a quiet and unassuming nobody, was actually the hidden "Dragon King"!
If you changed the channel, this guy would definitely be playing the role of someone who has endured three years of hardship and is now making a triumphant return!
Of course, there is only one real reason: that is, this captain had actually been parasitized by White Zetsu long ago.
However, the others in Kirigakure were unaware of this.
After confirming the authenticity of the token and the warrant with their senses, none of the Anbu ninjas present dared to be negligent. They immediately abandoned Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi in front of them and used their Body Flicker Technique to leave.
For a moment, all that could be seen were the afterimages of the Body Flicker Technique appearing in front of them with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound.
In the blink of an eye, these elite Mist Shadows all left decisively and cleanly, without any hesitation.
Only then did Kakashi relax and turn to look at the nearly exhausted Juzo Biwa.
"Now tell us why you've come, friend from afar?"
