Shuimu has long felt the sense of being restricted and targeted everywhere.

If the eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan possessed by Kabuto Yakushi - Sukunami was just the beginning, then this special ability and heart-pounding artifact possessed by Uchiha Sasuke were simply an undisguised defense against Mizuki.

This secret technique of Uchiha Sasuke, whose name Mizuki does not know yet, is most likely the unique secret technique that was mentioned when Uchiha Sasuke transplanted Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan's eye power to achieve the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in Uchiha Sasuke's left eye was suppressed by an external secret technique, Amaterasu, and did not awaken.

"It would be better if Uchiha Sasuke could improve his strength, but this ability can't help but make some associations!"

There is nothing wrong with the unique secret technique that can restrain Susanoo, and it fits in with Uchiha Sasuke's identity as the only orphan in the family.

The key point is that it happens to be the nemesis of Shuimu's identity as a time traveler and his unique power system, which is very worrying.

Every ninja has weaknesses, and Mizuki is no exception.

This secret technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan, which had just appeared in the ninja world, was not entirely a deliberate target, but it was precisely this ambiguous situation that made Mizuki even more nervous.

"In the blink of an eye, a large net has been set up around me. It's really frightening!"

If Mizuki didn't just want to test Uchiha Sasuke's strength, Mizuki really wouldn't have known that the ninja world actually had such a backup plan.

It is still unknown whether the ninja world has played any tricks in this secret technique that makes Mizuki extremely uneasy. Moreover, dwelling on the details of the past will not help.

The top priority is to come up with a solution.

Shuimu worked hard to build up his own power system, but there is one shortcoming that has never been well compensated, that is, there is almost no progress in the high-end power at the physical level, and he can only cope with it by relying on the power brought by the Sage Mode and the comprehensive bonus of basic qualities.

If we only talk about basic fighting, with Mizuki's battle-hardened qualities, he can reach the level of an elite jonin, but that's all.

Not to mention Might Guy, who was able to press Uchiha Madara, who had become the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, to the ground and rub him to open the Death Gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, even Hatake Kakashi and even Uchiha Sasuke, who used Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate his body's reaction ability, were slightly better than Mizuki.

Although the outcome of a real fight is hard to predict, his understanding of pure physical skills is indeed far inferior to Mizuki's achievements in ninjutsu, genjutsu and sealing techniques.

Even though one's abilities are greatly improved in Sage Mode, there is still a limit.

The secret technique of Uchiha Sasuke's exposed Mangekyō Sharingan requires a straightforward, head-on force like Might Guy's to suppress it. Neither illusions nor ninjutsu are very effective, and even sealing techniques may not be as effective as imagined.

Guys who rely on brute force for physical skills may be better able to deal with this situation, while wise men like Mizuki who delve into the attributes and matching of strength and rely more on sealing techniques and spiritual power are just suitable to be Uchiha Sasuke's victims.

"Is Hatake Kakashi still working overtime?"

Ignoring the group of somewhat surprised subordinates, Mizuki asked Shiho who had just pushed the door open.

The female ninja who was carrying a pile of documents in to let Mizuki look at them was stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed the frame of her glasses on her nose.

"The Minister is busy... Deputy Minister Shuimu, here are some questions that need your confirmation..."

"Put it on the table and let me take care of it!"

Shuimu said this calmly, and before anyone could react, he passed by the crowd. In the blink of an eye, Shuimu had walked out of the office at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast.

…

In the office of the Chief of Security Department, Hatake Kakashi was working hard. The copy ninja, who was a little dizzy from exhaustion, suddenly fixed his eyes.

"Who is it?"

A figure appeared in the room using the technique of instant teleportation.

"Is it you, Mizuki? We just separated. Is there something important you want to tell me? Although our offices are not far away, you don't have to come here in person despite your busy schedule. I remember asking Shiho to bring the documents to you for review... eh?"

Seeing Mizuki's serious expression, Kakashi smiled awkwardly and stopped the meaningless small talk.

"What happened? Is it an urgent mission, Lady Tsunade?"

Not long ago in the active office, Mizuki was left alone, and everyone knew about it.

"Something happened in the Land of Thunder?"

"The Land of Thunder...you mean Giant Turtle Island?"

Mizuki nodded.

"What happened to Uchiha Sasuke there?"

"You know?"

"It seems like there is really something you are hiding from me."

Mizuki frowned and moved a chair to sit down opposite Hatake Kakashi.

"Sasuke was sent out right after he came back. I didn't even see him, but he couldn't wait to complete the mission of protecting the Fire Country Daimyo. It's nothing. You and Sasuke came back because of an urgent mission. But, there are some things I think you should tell me!"

Mizuki's questioning tone made the situation suddenly awkward.

Ever since Mizuki was arrested by Kakashi Hatake more than three years ago for failing the Uzumaki Naruto Ninja Academy graduation exam and stealing the Book of Seales, the relationship between Mizuki and Kakashi has been relatively harmonious.

When there are occasional disagreements, they are all official matters and rarely affect personal relationships.

But this time it's different.

Hatake Kakashi hesitated for a moment and replied:

"I have reported the whole story to Lady Tsunade!"

“I see!”

Mizuki shook his head in disappointment.

Perhaps Kakashi Hatake was also a little hesitant about whether to inform Mizuki, so, unable to make a decision, he simply gave the choice to Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage. But it was obvious that Tsunade did not tell Mizuki the information about Uchiha Sasuke in this regard.

"Because of Yukimura's matter, I am still a little worried!"

Kakashi Hatake didn't know about Yukimura's existence, but Tsunade knew about it, and Jiraiya was probably the other person who knew about it.

It's understandable that Tsunade hid some information about the last Uchiha in the village from Mizuki due to his audacity, but the result was still a little unpleasant.

"With your eyes as a Konoha technician, you should be able to see the nature of the unique eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan, right?"

Shuimu sneered.

"Of all the people who should have known, I was the last to know!"

If it weren't for some accidents, Mizuki might have been kept in the dark until the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki appeared.

"What did Sasuke call that jutsu?"

"Takemure, Butsu-mure!"

As expected, the god of war who controls swords, spears, and bows and arrows and is also the invincible god of war and the god of thunder who controls punishment, the soul-slaying sword - Butsu-mikoto is the symbol of his power.

The nature of the unique eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan - Takemikaze is extremely clear. Now, the only Uchiha clan member who can use Susanoo openly is Uchiha Sasuke. Orochimaru, who can manifest the incarnation of spiritual obsession - the Eight-headed Mantra, is also dead. The only one he regards as his natural enemy is Mizuki's Xishuixiang.

Although there was not much resentment, Kakashi Hatake knew that there was a crack in the originally good relationship between him and Mizuki.

After a brief silence, it was Hatake Kakashi who spoke again:

"It's not what you think, Mizuki. Neither I nor Lady Tsunade have any intention of hiding anything from you..."

“Really?”

Mizuki smiled.

What Kakashi Hatake said was right. He really didn't target Mizuki deliberately, but Mizuki just didn't ask. Although given the relationship between Mizuki and Uchiha Sasuke, it was only a matter of time before they met again, and it was reasonable for them to be exposed, but if Mizuki hadn't discovered it, he naturally wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell him about it.

"Trust is a fragile thing."

Not long ago, Tsunade was still earnestly persuading Mizuki to make more contributions to the Ninja Alliance, and even tried to buy him off with small favors, but she kept silent about Mizuki's real interests.

Of course, Mizuki also concealed a lot of things from the village, such as the issue of the tailed beasts' chakra. The Four-tailed Jinchuriki Lao Shi and the Five-tailed Jinchuriki Han had their tailed beasts extracted by the "Akatsuki" organization and died long ago, but Mizuki still got the chakras of the Four-tailed Son Goku and the Five-tailed Mu Wang. It is absolutely impossible to say that the Konoha Village represented by Tsunade has no interest in the inside story.

Also, the technology of awakening the Sharingan using clones, although there is a serious moral crisis, but in time of war, Mizuki still has no intention of handing over the technology.

Based on this, no one knows how many shocking secrets are hidden behind Shuimu's harmless appearance.

"Okay, let's not talk about these for now. Although I am a little dissatisfied, I am not too angry. However, shouldn't you tell me what happened on Giant Turtle Island?"

…

The water-attributed heart monster, which fled quickly while hovering at a low altitude, retained Kakuzu's last glimmer of life, but because its main body was completely destroyed, it temporarily lost its thinking brain, and was left with only its heart and a temporary body formed by blood vessels formed by the Earth's resentment to maintain its vitality. In this state, it obviously did not have much independent ability to act.

If it was the original Kakuzu, after this severe blow, his spirit might have been severely damaged again, and he would be one step closer to becoming an irrational madman.

And now, Shuimu is only remotely controlling the water-attribute heart monster through the spiritual connection with Xishuixiang.

There is bound to be some incoordination in remote control command from thousands of miles away, but there is no way to avoid it. Uchiha Sasuke's artifact, Butu Yuhun, is too overbearing. While killing Kakuzu's body, it directly severed the connection between the body and the attribute heart monster. Even with the domineering secret technique of Earth Resentment, it was unable to block Butu Yuhun's ability to eliminate the spirit and soul.

As a last resort, Shuimu had to use this extremely troublesome method of control.

At this moment, Kakuzu was at his most vulnerable. Having lost his original body's huge chakra and energy support, he only retained a little ability to perform water-style ninjutsu. In this dangerous situation, because the chakra attribute is too single, many of Mizuki's methods cannot be used on the chakra-attribute heart monster.

At this moment, the water-attribute heart monster, as if sensing something, suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly. However, the slow-reacting water-attribute heart monster had no way to respond in time.

"It's too late, Kakuzu..."

A shadow suddenly appeared in the shadow on the ground and accurately hit the water heart monster floating in the air.

Black Zetsu's spiritual secret technique is indeed hard to guard against. Once you are hit by it, it is basically difficult to escape from it.

"Secret Technique: Spiritual Fusion!"

The water-attributed heart monster, which did not have a complete human body and could not even utter normal words, could only roar in vain.

"Are you confused?"

On one side, a black shadow submerged the water-attribute heart monster, and at the same time a pale-faced guy emerged from the ground.

"A failed stray dog, isn't that weird?"

The White Zetsu's true form said with a gloating look.

Indeed, Kakuzu was somewhat puzzled. With his limited thinking ability, he did not understand why his comrades would betray him at this time. Although they were mutually beneficial, he could not expect them to lend a hand if he was in trouble, but he would always hesitate before taking advantage of others' misfortunes, right? He did not expect to be abandoned so easily.

"Your being alive might be of some benefit, but it might also be a hindrance."

The venomous Hei Zetsu laughed grimly, and the dry sound coming out of himself made Kakuzu begin to despair.

"Also, I found some very interesting things in your memories. Are you really still Kakuzu?"

The wind-attribute heart monster, which had no ability to speak, naturally had no way of answering the question.

Although Mizuki restricted Kakuzu's memory and used sealing techniques to bury more sensitive information deep in his heart, with the death of Kakuzu himself, the information contained in a water-attributed heart monster was naturally much less.

With his memory full of holes and loopholes, Black Zetsu couldn't figure out who had done something to Kakuzu.

However, it is enough to know that Jiaodu is unreliable, and you can start without even any evidence.

On the other hand, even if Kakuzu was killed, it would not be a pity to lose a combat force. He could be converted into a powerful White Zetsu clone, or Kabuto Yakushi could use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon him from the Pure Land. This could basically make up for the lack of combat power caused by Kakuzu's death.

"White Zetsu, I have already subdued him. Use the Mayfly Technique to take him back and torture him slowly."

"knew."

Although the possession of White Zetsu's true body can enhance the strength of the controlled person, at this time, the two insidious guys obviously will not let Kakuzu have an easy time.

Seeing that he was unable to turn the situation around, Kakuzu had no choice but to give up his last hope and activated the final sealing technique.

If you play Infernal Affairs behind enemy lines, you will naturally have the means to die together with the enemy after being discovered.

Amid the smug laughter of the two inhuman monsters, the violent explosion created a mushroom cloud that wiped out everything around.
