Chapter 67: Kagura did it easily
"You make a very valid point."
Akihara Kagura strongly agreed with Hatake Kakashi's words, raising his hand to swiftly gather the vines above the sea!
"Then let it witness"
"The gap between my Wood Release and that of the First Hokage!"
"Roar!"
The Three-Tails roared, slamming its tail heavily onto the sea surface!
In this sea, even if the most formidable Nine-Tails of the ninja world were to appear, it would not be intimidated. Wave after wave surged towards Akihara Kagura!
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
A wooden dragon emerged, swimming against the waves!
Standing atop the head of the wood dragon, Akihara Kagura could only exert his utmost control to navigate through the waves, preventing being overwhelmed by the engulfing sea!
"This is the power of a Tailed Beast"
Itachi, standing behind Akihara Kagura, could not hide his astonishment.
"Water Release is greatly enhanced at sea"
Hatake Kakashi, standing beside them, explained: "Moreover, the Three-Tails is the Tailed Beast most skilled in Water Release techniques among the legendary nine"
Hatake Kakashi's gaze was primarily on the giant wood dragon below: "Even having seen this jutsu before, it's still shocking every time."
"Hold tight."
Akihara Kagura looked back at the two tourists observing the sea and raised his hand to control the massive wood dragon, charging towards the immense Three-Tails: "Next, comes the most spectacular performance!"
"Roar!"
The Three-Tails roared, facing the charging wood dragon!
Clusters of tiny chakra, like dust, rapidly converged in front of the Three-Tails, gradually forming a purplish-black sphere!
This is
The Tailed Beast Bomb!
By condensing the chakra of the Tailed Beasts with Yin-Yang attributes in a 2:8 ratio, one can manifest the simplest and most powerful technique that a Tailed Beast can release!
Fortunately...
The Three-Tails is not fast at condensing the Tailed Beast Bomb!
Akihara Kagura quickly brought his hands together, and the wooden dragon's head slowly transformed. A pair of wooden dragon horns grew on its head, its mouth rapidly enlarged, and its body slowly sprouted thick tree roots. These roots quickly converged to form four huge dragon claws!
This wooden dragon now looked quite different from the First Hokage's Wood Dragon Technique. Instead, it resembled the Eastern Dragon from the legends of Akihara Kagura's previous life!
"This is..."
Hatake Kakashi looked around curiously.
"Oh, I am trying to improve the Wood Dragon Technique."
When the wooden dragon subdued the Three-Tails, Akihara Kagura declared the end of the battle, not all Tailed Beasts could resist the art of the wooden dragon.
As expected.
The strength of the Three-Tails weakened more and more as the wooden dragon absorbed its chakra.
This massive Tailed Beast, under the onslaught of the wooden dragon, couldn't withstand for even a few minutes and was completely suppressed, unable to resist in any way.
If Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, had fought in human form, Akihara Kagura would probably have had to spend more time and effort. But Yagura, facing Akihara Kagura's Wood Release, foolishly thought he could confront him in his strongest Tailed Beast form...
Boom!
A puff of smoke arose!
The Three-Tails gradually lost its strength, and its massive body dissipated in an instant!
The small figure of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, appeared, lying weakly and motionless on the sea surface.
"Is it over already?"
Hatake Kakashi felt an inexplicable sensation.
"Is it over already?"
Uchiha Itachi echoed Kakashi's words.
Originally, they thought the battle between the Three-Tails and the Wood Dragon would be a tough one. They didn't expect that Akihara Kagura's Wood Dragon would defeat the Three-Tails so swiftly.
"Don't think it was easy..."
"This is because I improved the Wood Dragon technique..."
Akihara Kagura was quite satisfied with his modification of the Wood Dragon technique.
If he hadn't modified the Wood Dragon's body shape on the spur of the moment, just the proximity of the Tailed Beast Bomb would have been troublesome enough!
Akihara Kagura raised his finger, continuing to control the Wood Dragon, which grew vines from its body. These vines wrapped around the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, on the sea surface and slowly brought him to the trio.
"..."
Hatake Kakashi became somewhat silent.
The situation seemed to have suddenly become complicated.
They were originally on a mission from the Mist Village to track Uchiha Obito, but instead of conducting their reconnaissance, they ended up capturing the leader of the Mist Village.
The problem is...
They've captured the Mizukage...
Should they continue to infiltrate the Mist Village for reconnaissance?
"Let's deal with the trouble at hand first!"
Akihara Kagura turned to Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi: "The Mizukage can't resist anymore. Can you control him with genjutsu to prevent any trouble on the way?"
"..."
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, strained to open his eyes wide, staring intently at Akihara Kagura, not as if looking at a demon, but as if looking at a savior!
