Chapter 84 Byakuya: Obito, I've prepared a gift for you, I hope you'll be happy.
"My God! The Fourth Mizukage was actually sent flying just like that!"
An exclamation came from the Hidden Mist Village Ninja squad; everyone's gaze focused on the youth beside Lady Mei Terumi.
"What's this guy's background? How can he be so strong!" another Ninja shouted in shock.
"Haven't you noticed? He came with Lady Mei Terumi; maybe he's her future husband!"
Someone said this, instantly causing a stir.
The Ninjas began to look at Byakuya with even more respect.
This was their boss's future husband, which was equivalent to their future boss.
The Hidden Mist Village Ninjas below began whispering and discussing.
After all, the strength Byakuya displayed was truly astonishing.
Everyone knew that as a Kage-level powerhouse, the Fourth Mizukage's true strength was rarely rivaled even in the entire Hidden Mist Village.
However, Byakuya had sent the Fourth Mizukage flying over a hundred meters with just one blow.
Just then, Zabuza came walking over slowly and limping, carrying his executioners blade which was nearly broken in half.
He was covered in wounds and looked incredibly pathetic.
"I'm sorry, Lord..."
Zabuza lowered his head and spoke with a hint of embarrassment.
He felt like everyone in this trip to the Hidden Mist Village was beating him up.
Clearly, Zabuza still had lingering fears from the thrilling battle just now.
If Lord Byakuya hadn't stepped in at the critical moment, he probably would have died at the Fourth Mizukage's hands by now.
"Cough, cough!"
Yagura Karatachi stood up again, filled with rage.
He glared at the crowd of Hidden Mist Village Ninjas and said,
"Are you planning to betray the Hidden Mist Village?!"
Under Yagura Karatachi's pressure,
many Ninjas were too scared to even pick up their weapons.
After all, the shadow the Fourth Mizukage left on the Hidden Mist Ninjas was too deep.
In the Hidden Mist, mentioning the Fourth Mizukage meant mentioning the Village shrouded in haze.
Filled with violence, assassination, and dictatorship.
Due to the Village's long isolation, it felt terrifying; his reign was known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist."
So clearly, Yagura Karatachi's words still carried weight.
At least the surrounding Hidden Mist Ninjas hesitated and didn't dare move forward.
"A guy controlled by genjutsu."
"Do you dare let the person behind you come out!"
Byakuya looked coldly at Yagura Karatachi.
He knew the one truly controlling the Hidden Mist wasn't Yagura Karatachi.
But Uchiha Obito.
"How is that possible!"
At these words, the expressions of the Hidden Mist Ninjas became even more exaggerated.
Their dignified Kage was actually being controlled by someone using genjutsu.
This was a joke that would make anyone laugh their heads off.
"What Byakuya says is true; the Fourth Mizukage before you has long been controlled!"
"Don't trust him easily!"
Mei Terumi also stood up at this time.
This made those who weren't very loyal to the Fourth Mizukage pick up their weapons.
"You dare ruin my plans!"
Yagura Karatachi looked at Byakuya with hatred.
But at this point, he didn't plan on pretending anymore.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
Yagura Karatachi's eyes began to turn blood-red.
Then his entire body underwent a visible change, though he remained humanoid.
Accompanied by the surge of Tailed Beast Chakra, he was covered in dark red Tailed Beast Chakra.
This was the Tailed Beast Cloak, possessing the ability to fire Tailed Beast Balls.
"Who doesn't know how to use a Tailed Beast Ball!"
Byakuya smiled faintly, then began to condense a Tailed Beast Ball with one hand.
Since he was in the Hidden Mist Village, Byakuya didn't plan on using Wood Release to expose his identity.
But don't forget, Byakuya also possessed the Three-Tails' Chakra.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"
"Tenfold Burst!"
Byakuya directly used Tenfold Burst to strengthen his next attack.
"This is!"
Yagura Karatachi, in his semi-tailed beast state, looked at his opponent in terror.
It was the exact same power as within his own body.
But it looked several times more terrifying than his own!
"You're crazy! If this attack goes through, half of the Hidden Mist Village will be destroyed!"
Yagura Karatachi still intended to use the Hidden Mist Village to threaten Byakuya.
What he said was indeed true.
The entire Hidden Mist Village wouldn't be able to withstand an attack of such a massive scale.
"Byakuya!"
At that moment, Mei Terumi also looked toward Byakuya.
Her eyes revealed a hint of pleading.
"You're dead today, I say so!"
In the next second, Byakuya used the Instant Shadow Killing Array again to appear before Yagura Karatachi.
"This is—!"
Yagura Karatachi didn't even have time to react.
In the next second, they both disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Eh, where did they go?"
"Weren't they just here?"
Boom!
In the next second, a roaring sound erupted directly from the sea level in the distance.
The entire wave was tossed hundreds of meters away.
"Wh-what is that thing?!"
Byakuya's fighting style completely exceeded their imagination.
They didn't even have time to reflect on why Byakuya could also use the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Byakuya!"
Mei Terumi began to feel a bit worried.
Byakuya had just disappeared along with Yagura Karatachi.
So, would Byakuya...?
Just as Mei Terumi was worrying, in the next second—
A flash appeared in the sky again, and then Byakuya appeared before everyone, completely unharmed.
"Byakuya!"
Seeing Byakuya appear unharmed, Mei Terumi's grief instantly turned to joy.
After all, nothing was more important than Byakuya returning safely.
"Where is Yagura Karatachi?"
Not seeing Yagura Karatachi, who had disappeared with Byakuya, Mei Terumi asked curiously.
"You mean that big turtle?"
"Sorry, I might have been a bit too heavy-handed just now..."
Byakuya didn't finish his sentence.
But everyone who heard this knew what Yagura Karatachi's fate was.
Not even a corpse remained.
"Yagura Karatachi is dead? Yagura Karatachi is dead?"
Seeing this, Suigetsu Hozuki almost burst into a wild laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Haku looked at Suigetsu Hozuki with some surprise.
What did the death of the Fourth Mizukage have to do with him?
However, Suigetsu Hozuki's abnormality also drew the attention of the other Hidden Mist Village Ninjas.
"This kid seems to be from the Hozuki Clan."
"Isn't this Hozuki Mangetsu's younger brother? This kid is still alive!"
Everyone immediately realized why he was so happy.
Because the reason the prestigious Hozuki Clan of the Hidden Mist Village was wiped out like the Uchiha Clan...
...the Fourth Mizukage, who just died, could be said to have played a major role.
Without Yagura Karatachi's targeting, how could the Hozuki Clan, as one of the top prestigious clans in the Hidden Mist Village...
...have been completely destroyed within a dozen years?
Now, only Suigetsu Hozuki remains.
"Big brother, it's a pity you can't see this!"
Suigetsu Hozuki even spoke as tears unconsciously flowed down.
"I didn't expect that kid to be so sentimental."
Byakuya said indifferently while watching this scene.
Yagura Karatachi was indeed dead, but there was one thing Byakuya didn't say.
That was, the Three-Tails didn't die.
"Speaking of which, killing the Fourth Mizukage won't cause any trouble for you, will it?"
Byakuya looked at the woman, Mei Terumi.
She looked so worried about him just now; it would be quite awkward if he caused her trouble.
"It's fine. Anyway, Ao already knows through his Byakugan that the Fourth Mizukage was being controlled by Genjutsu."
"Besides, the death of the Three-Tails might also be a good thing."
Anyway, a Tailed Beast can be resurrected after a dozen years or so following its death.
It took over a decade after the previous Three-Tails Jinchuriki died for the Three-Tails to be resurrected.
And Yagura Karatachi sealed the resurrected Three-Tails within himself.
Becoming the Three-Tails Jinchuriki 330.
Since the Three-Tails' Chakra attribute is water-aligned, it is resurrected within the Land of Water every time.
Mei Terumi didn't need to worry too much.
Regarding this point, Byakuya still didn't plan on telling Mei Terumi.
After defeating Yagura Karatachi, he had extracted the Three-Tails from his body.
Of course, the Three-Tails wasn't of much use to Byakuya.
Because he had already obtained the Three-Tails' Chakra.
However, after killing Yagura Karatachi...
...that guy Uchiha Obito certainly wouldn't let it go.
He just happened to have a gift to give him at that time.
I hope Uchiha Obito won't be too happy then.
"By the way, was that attack of yours just now a Tailed Beast Ball?"
Mei Terumi asked curiously.
She felt that the move Byakuya used was exactly the same as a Tailed Beast Ball, even the name was the same.
"It just looks like it."
"I'm not a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki."
Byakuya shook his head and replied.
"True."
Mei Terumi thought about it and realized it was true.
It seemed that only a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki could release a Tailed Beast Ball.
And she hadn't sensed any Tailed Beast aura from Byakuya at all.
So, naturally, Byakuya couldn't be a Tailed Beast.
"I was overthinking it. Anyway, thank you for what happened this time!"
Mei Terumi's exquisite and pretty face now revealed a shy expression.
With Byakuya being so strong, would he have laughed at me before?
Mei Terumi thought about how she had stubbornly tried to protect Byakuya earlier.
Looking back now, it was simply too embarrassing.
"But thank you for your concern anyway."
Byakuya's slight smile almost made Mei Terumi fall in love all over again.
At this moment, Mei Terumi seemed to have no resistance against Byakuya at all.
"I won't trouble you with the rest; I'll have them clean up the scene."
Mei Terumi knew that now was not the time for romance.
She and Byakuya had killed the Fourth Mizukage.
Genryū would definitely come to hold them accountable.
There would probably be many more things to deal with then.
At this time, Mei Terumi didn't plan on letting Byakuya get involved.
"You can stay at my house for the time being; after all, I usually live alone."
"I'll come back to find you after I'm done with everything!"
Mei Terumi's emerald-green eyes gazed deeply at Byakuya.
