Two whooshing sounds came. Rosen slightly turned his head, catching sight of the arrivals from the corner of his eye: Byakuren and Hōzuki Gengetsu.
Recognizing them was not difficult; they both had quite distinct physical and clothing features.
"Yo, little brother from the Uzumaki Family, if you don't mind, could you please leave our Hidden Mist Village's big baby alone?" Hōzuki Gengetsu's tone was flippant, yet it clearly stated his position.
"Sorry, old man, I'm actually here for it this time."
Roar—
Saiken let out a roar; it understood human speech.
Hearing that Rosen was after it, it immediately moved to attack.
Rosen smiled slightly, and a black shadow suddenly shot out from beneath his feet, charging towards Saiken.
The next moment, the black shadow merged into Saiken's shadow beneath its feet, then spread onto Saiken's body. Half of Saiken's color turned pure black, and at the same time, the eye on the black half became a Three-Tomoe Sharingan pattern.
The Six-Tails Saiken, seized!
Seeing this, Byakuren and Hōzuki Gengetsu's expressions instantly changed dramatically.
Hōzuki Gengetsu quickly formed hand signs, Summoning Jutsu: Giant Clam!
The next instant, a massive sphere appeared behind Hōzuki Gengetsu. The sphere seemed both solid and gaseous.
Genjutsu: Mirage!
Immediately after, a series of images formed before Rosen's eyes.
This was the very special Summoning Beast, the Giant Clam!
Even with Summoning Jutsu, it would only appear for an instant, disappearing immediately afterward.
And in that instant, it could release the super Genjutsu, Mirage.
If an enemy fell into it for even an instant, it would be fatal.
Byakuren and Hōzuki Gengetsu launched their attacks simultaneously.
Water Release: Water Gun Jutsu!!
Both pointed their palms like pistols at Rosen.
This Water Gun Jutsu was not some low-level Ninjutsu, but a Hidden Mist secret jutsu that only the Mizukage could learn.
One of the few S-Rank Ninjutsu in Hidden Mist Village.
Bang, bang—
Two large water spheres shot rapidly towards Rosen.
Just then, Envy blocked Rosen. Envy's pupils suddenly showed a pattern of two crossing scythes—this was his Mangekyo.
And the moment he activated his Mangekyo, a huge Whirlpool appeared before him. The two water spheres disappeared after hitting the Whirlpool, with no subsequent reaction.
This was Envy's Mangekyo's special ability: Desire for Heaven: All Returns to Me!
The Mangekyo is a reflection of the heart; whatever one desires most during its evolution, the Mangekyo's abilities will show a related tendency.
When Envy's Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyo, his heart was filled with Envy; he envied everything, demanded everything, so his Mangekyo ability was Desire for Heaven.
His left eye was Desire for Heaven: All Returns to Me, capable of absorbing all Ninjutsu.
His right eye was Desire for Heaven: I Return All, capable of returning all Ninjutsu absorbed by the left eye with double the power.
The meaning of the left eye is, everything belongs to me, and the meaning of the right eye is, mine must be stronger than yours.
The next moment, Envy's right eye moved, and two water spheres shot out from the Whirlpool.
Seeing this, Byakuren and Hōzuki Gengetsu's expressions changed, and they immediately dodged to the left and right.
Bang, bang—
A nearby hillside had its top directly blown off.
Just then, Rosen woke from the Genjutsu and looked at Hōzuki Gengetsu.
"A very interesting Genjutsu."
The Giant Clam's Genjutsu was a life, trapping Rosen for a full three seconds.
In a confrontation between Shadow-level or above, three seconds is enough to die a hundred times.
Of course, Rosen deliberately didn't defend, otherwise, even the Giant Clam would have a hard time putting Rosen under Genjutsu.
Rosen raised his finger and pointed at Hōzuki Gengetsu, Light Release: Laser Beam!
Both Byakuren and Hōzuki Gengetsu's alarm bells instantly rang.
Whoosh—
A golden beam of light burst from Rosen's finger, instantly piercing Byakuren's chest.
Rosen's finger then pointed at Hōzuki Gengetsu.
Whoosh—
Hōzuki Gengetsu instantly dodged, but his thigh still took a hit.
Neither of them had expected this Konoha rogue Shinobi to be so powerful.
Effortlessly controlling the Six-Tails Saiken, and effortlessly defeating both of them.
"Remember today's humiliation well." Rosen's tone was full of arrogance: "After all, you won't have many opportunities to wash away this humiliation. So, I'll be borrowing the Six-Tails Saiken."
Byakuren and Hōzuki Gengetsu could only watch helplessly as Rosen took away the Six-Tails Saiken.
The disparity in strength was too obvious; even together, they weren't enough for a single move or half-move from him.
They both had the resolve to die, but they weren't so reckless as to throw their lives away.
As Rosen left, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Would the effect have been better if he had killed the First Mizukage just now?
It would have deepened his villainous image and drawn more hatred.
With one Six-Tails Saiken, there was no need to capture the Three-Tails Isobu anymore.
The purpose of the Six-Tails Saiken was to act as a power bank when his Chakra ran out, allowing him to sustain himself in battle for a period. At the same time, it possessed a certain combat capability itself, and controlling it in battle could also buy some time.
And that bought time would be enough for Rosen to recover his Chakra.
If there was still a flaw in the Whirlpool Sage Body, it was that its recovery ability couldn't compare to Senju Hashirama's.
Senju Hashirama's Chakra was such that he could unleash a powerful technique, and his blue bar would be full before he even finished it.
Rosen's recovery, however, would have a downtime. If he consumed Chakra too quickly, that downtime would be extremely fatal.
