The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 117 Occupying the Capital of the Water Kingdom

The twilight in the capital of the Water Kingdom is always accompanied by a salty, damp sea breeze.

Inside the Daimyo's residence, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, reclined on a silk couch, constantly tossing pearls or gold and silver ornaments to the dancers.

Twelve dancers danced gracefully in the hall, their flowing sleeves rising and falling like ocean waves.

Six disheveled dancers, their faces flushed with embarrassment, poured him wine.

Yagura squinted, savoring the extravagance that power brought.

"Lord Mizukage, our spies have reported unusual activity by the Konoha Village forces," a Kirigakure ANBU member reported, kneeling on one knee.

Yagura waved his hand lazily: "Just have the border troops strengthen their defenses. Let's enjoy ourselves. Those people from Konoha won't be that fast."

His words came to an abrupt halt as an unprecedented surge of chakra swept through the entire Daimyo Prefecture like a tsunami.

A look of shock appeared on Yagura's face: "Flying Thunder God Technique? How can it teleport so many people?!"

He sensed over 1000 unfamiliar chakras appearing out of thin air in the capital of the Land of Water.

There was an orange giant, over two hundred meters tall, standing in front of the city gate.

Uchiha Mitsunori's voice, transmitted through Susanoo, sounded like a divine judgment: "Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, you slaughtered daimyo and a large number of nobles. As the Earl of Eizu Island, I sentence you to death."

Susanoo spread its wings and flew up, quickly arriving in front of the Daimyo's residence.

He raised a giant chakra sword that was over a hundred meters long and slashed down!

Without a second thought, Yagura instinctively formed hand seals: "Water Release: Great Explosive Water Wave!"

What spewed from his mouth was not an ordinary stream of water, but a high-pressure water cannon compressed to the extreme.

This strike, powerful enough to pierce a city wall, struck Susanoo's giant sword, but scattered like a stream hitting a reef.

As the giant sword slashed down, Yagura Kojiki unleashed a Water Wall formation, creating an arc-shaped water wall that rose from the ground.

However, in the face of the complete Susanoo, this defense that had once blocked countless powerful enemies was as thin as paper.

The giant sword easily cleaved through the wall of water, and struck Yagura Karatachi with undiminished force.

"Bang!"

Yagura's body, like a stone thrown by a catapult, crashed through thirteen buildings before coming to a stop.

He lay in the ruins, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his right arm twisted at an abnormal angle.

"Lord Mizukage!" A furious roar came from the street corner.

The obese body of Suigetsu Hozuki charged forward at an incredible speed, the barbs on his Samehada sword standing up and trembling greedily.

"Let me show you the power of my sharkskin!"

Suigetsu Hozuki leaped ten meters high, his Samehada slashing fiercely at Susanoo's ankle.

This strange sword, capable of absorbing chakra, emitted a piercing scraping sound, yet it didn't even leave a single white mark.

Uchiha Mitsunori didn't even lower his head; he simply controlled his Susanoo to give it a light kick.

"Pfft... Boom!"

The pufferfish demon broke six of its ribs, and its body flew out like a rag doll, crashing into the city wall thirty meters away.

He struggled to stand up, but coughed up a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Upon seeing the terrifying Susanoo, the entire capital of the Land of Water descended into chaos.

Uchiha Mitsunori's voice once again came from Susanoo: "The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, has been killed. The remaining Kirigakure ninja, surrender immediately! Civilians of the Land of Water's capital, do not panic. I am the Daimyo of the Land of Water, the Earl of Eizu Island, personally appointed by him, and I am now in charge of maintaining order in the capital."

The common people hid in their homes and secretly peered through their windows to observe the changes on the streets.

Only a few Hidden Mist ninja remained, futilely organizing a defense.

Pipa Juzo stood on a rooftop, his guillotine gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

He watched as the orange giant crushed the Mist Village's defenses like ants, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly.

"Lord Juzo, what should we do?" a young ninja asked, trembling.

As Kirigakure Jonin was kicked away by Susanoo, Biwa Juzo took a deep breath: "This battle is impossible to win."

He leaped off the roof and plunged the decapitation sword heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Juzo Biwa's voice echoed across the battlefield: "Brothers of Kirigakure! Lay down your weapons! Stop making pointless sacrifices!"

This action was like toppling the first domino.

One after another, the Hidden Mist ninjas laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Two hours later, the central square of the capital of the Land of Water was crowded with surviving Kirigakure ninjas, who stared in horror at the execution platform.

The body of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was laid in a kneeling position with his head bowed.

Beside it was the dying Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, its obese body covered in blood.

Suigetsu Hozuki struggled to the edge of the platform, his voice hoarse: "I can provide information! I know all of Kirigakure's secret bases! Please don't kill me!"

Uchiha Sanfeng stood on the high place, the setting sun casting long shadows that enveloped the entire execution platform.

He slowly raised his hand, his voice as cold as ice: "Suikazan Fuguki, you are indeed quite strong. But I hate traitors the most, especially those who betray their own village."

A flash of red light appeared, and the pufferfish demon's head rolled to the ground, splattering blood onto the faces of the onlookers.

Uchiha Mitsunori turned to the other prisoners: "Konoha Village will be relocated to the Land of Water. Are you willing to pledge your loyalty to Konoha?"

Raiga Kurosuki trembled as he raised his Raikou, his voice filled with fear, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant demeanor: "I...I am willing to pledge allegiance to Konoha."

Kizo Biwa knelt silently on one knee, his guillotine sword laid flat in front of him: "We... are also willing to pledge our loyalty to Konoha."

This action served as a signal, and the remaining Hidden Mist ninjas in the square all knelt down in unison, their foreheads touching the ground.

That night, the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Water was brightly lit.

Uchiha Mitsunori was reviewing the battle reports, while Nara Shikaku was bandaging a wounded Konoha ninja.

Nara Shikaku, without looking up, said, "The casualty statistics are in. We have 27 lightly wounded and no dead. Kirigakure currently has 2724 ninja, of whom 2436 have chosen to surrender. The remaining 1000-plus Kirigakure ninja are still stationed on the border of the Land of Water; they are unaware of the defeat."

Uchiha Mitsunori nodded and walked to the window.

The capital of the Water Kingdom was in a mess under the moonlight, but the main buildings were intact.

Nara Shikaku's voice carried a hint of doubt: "It went much more smoothly than expected, with very few casualties and losses. However, Yagura Karatachi, as the Fourth Mizukage, showed far too little will to resist."

Uchiha Sanfeng's gaze turned to the distant mountains.

"Yagura Karatachi was once a very ambitious person. He was dissatisfied with the Blood Mist policy and hated the infighting among the ninjas of his village. He instigated a group of people to stage a coup. In the end, he became the Fourth Mizukage, but found that his actions had led to the deaths of more comrades and made the village weaker. So he fell into confusion and his fighting spirit naturally weakened."
