I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 107 107. Kirigakure is still under Akatsuki’s control

Outside Kirigakure Village.

The battle between Uchiha Itachi, Loquat Juzo and the Fourth Mizukage has entered a fierce stage. In the previous confrontation, they all understood each other's strength, and they are all enemies who need to go all out to deal with them.

Loquat Juuzang raised his beheading sword and looked at the Fourth Mizukage in the distance, his eyes full of fear.

He originally thought he had the strength to fight the Fourth Mizukage, but in the end he overestimated himself. Not only was the Kirigakure Jutsu he was proud of easily cracked, but the phantom created by the Mizukage Jutsu could also be defeated with the decapitating sword. Very reluctantly.

If Itachi hadn't been sharing the pressure, he would have been eliminated by the Mizukage and the ANBU who were watching eagerly next to him.

A clang! After dodging the sneak attack of Kirigakure ANBU, Loquat Juzo directly swatted Kirigakure ANBU away, then avoided the bombing of the detonating talisman, retreated to a tree trunk in the distance, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His goal was to get Mizukage out of the control of the masked man and make the ninjas in the village realize the fact that Mizukage was being manipulated. They were unwilling to hurt their former companions in the village. They fought extremely hard while deliberately keeping their hands open.

Hoho!

At this time, Loquat Juuzang's attention was attracted by the red figure not far away.

Under Itachi's pressure, the Fourth Mizukage was forced to enter the tailed beast form. After the black and red chakra covered his body, his speed, strength and defense increased a lot, at the cost of only being emotionally affected.

After seeing this, Loquat Juzo breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Mist Ninja would definitely notice something strange about Mizukage.

While Loquat Juzo breathed a sigh of relief, Uchiha Itachi was in big trouble. The Fourth Mizukage in the tailed beast form was able to draw on the power of the three tails.

After being accidentally hit by a palm on the corner of his clothes, a large number of corals appeared out of thin air on his clothes, slowing down his evasion speed.

Uchiha Itachi, who was half full, was hit again by the Fourth Mizukage. He could only tear up the fire cloud suit to dodge, but it was obviously still too late in time.

Just when Itachi was debating whether to use Tsukuyomi, a figure suddenly appeared from behind and blocked the attack.

The Fourth Mizukage who was stopped didn't think much, and directly hit Loquat Juzo with his palm, but was successfully blocked by the decapitating sword.

After saving Uchiha Itachi, Loquat Juzo quickly reminded: "The Fourth Mizukage just used the Coral Palm, which can turn the target hit into coral. Be careful."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly, but his eyes moved frequently between the Fourth Mizukage and Kirigakure.

This matter was really strange. He and Juuzang Loquat had just sneaked into Kirigakure Village, so why were they discovered by the Kirigakure in an instant, and the team was led by the Fourth Mizukage, who had not shown up for many years.

Moreover, the time they have been fighting is not short. Is the other support from Kirigakure Village too slow?

These doubts made him smell a conspiracy, but in that case, who was this conspiracy created for? Is it aimed at him and Juzo, or others?

Without enough time to think too much, Uchiha Itachi was forced to come back to his senses and look at the Fourth Mizukage in the distance.

There is a jet-black ball head condensed in front of the tailed beast-turned Mizukage. Judging from the chakra aura, it is obviously the tailed beast jade, the final resort of Jinchūriki.

Would you rather kill all your subordinates than deal with the two intruders?

Such thoughts flashed through Uchiha's mind, and he quickly retreated, fearing that he would be involved in the aftermath of the Tailed Beast Tama, but it was obviously too late.

Along with a burst of sonic boom, the Tailed Beast Jade was shot out like a cannonball, accurately aiming at Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi, who was jumping in mid-air, had no time to dodge. Just when he was about to be hit, Juuzou Juzo once again stopped in front of Itachi and blocked the Tailed Beast Tam with his sword.

Due to the control of chakra, the tailed beast only produced a small explosion.

But the beheading sword still broke into several pieces, one of which penetrated into Loquat Juuzang's body, directly embedding the latter in the big tree, and the body was almost completely severed.

Itachi was shocked by Loquat Juzo's act of sacrificing his life, and then he used Amaterasu, leaving tears of blood in the corners of his eyes.

The jet-black flame instantly appeared on the Fourth Mizukage's body, using chakra as food, and continued to burn. No matter whether the Fourth Mizukage rolled around or used water escape, it could not be extinguished.

After driving away the Fourth Mizukage, Itachi walked to Loquat Juuzang, who showed regret in his eyes: "Itachi, I'm sorry to involve you. I should have carried out this mission alone."

Itachi glanced at Loquat Juuzang in confusion, and then said: "Now it seems that the mission has failed. If you find a skilled doctor, your injuries may be saved."

Loquat Juuzang shook his head slightly: "No, my mission did not fail, and I won't live long. I perform so many missions that violate my conscience. In the end, I want to die here. Kirigakure is my hometown after all."

After saying that, Loquat Juuzang looked at the Kirigakure Village in the distance, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Itachi frowned. Although Loquat Juuzang didn't say it clearly, he also guessed the story that happened to Loquat Juuzang. Juuzang's identity was similar to his own. They were both ninjas who lurked in the Akatsuki organization and tried to save the village.

But judging from the smile on Loquat Juuzang's lips, Juuzang's goal has been achieved.

And his goal has just begun. In the future, he doesn't know whether he will be as lucky as Loquat Juzo, able to die in the hometown he cherishes so much, and help Sasuke grow up completely before dying.

Thinking of this, Itachi suddenly felt a little emotional, but in the distance the Kirigakure ninjas were rushing towards this place, and they would find him sooner or later.

These mist ninjas are no match for him, but there is obviously no need to continue this mission. It is better to leave as soon as possible, hoping that the teammates who will perform the next mission will not be too bad.

After advancing a few hundred meters, Itachi stopped and looked at the nearby tree trunk.

Obito emerged from the tree trunk and took a deep look at the direction of Uchiha Itachi and Loquat Juuzang. He originally wanted to kill Loquat Juuzang with his own hands, but Loquat Juuzang actually took the initiative to hit the tail beast jade, eliminating the need for it. He takes action in trouble.

However, the smile on Loquat Juuzang's face made him very dissatisfied. This traitor actually smiled before he died.

After looking at each other, Uchiha Itachi said: "Madara, the mission assigned by Pain failed, and Loquat Juzo also died during the mission. What should we do next?"

"Loquat Juzo will die if he dies. This kind of waste has no sympathy value."

Obito snorted coldly, and then said: "As for the mission, you have to assume my identity and temporarily control the Fourth Mizukage until you see a ninja wearing a black fox mask appear. After dealing with him, you can find a way to retreat. "

Uchiha Itachi accepted the task and asked with some confusion: "Is the other party also a member of the organization?"

"Yes and no." Obito deliberately put it off, and then chuckled: "But he is our partner, and Kirigakure's future will be under his control."
