Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: He Should Be Thanking Us!

Due to the loss in this battle, Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura felt that his chakra was nearly depleted, and even the jutsu controlling himself and the Three-tails within him was somewhat loosened.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity!

An opportunity to break free from the control of the Sharingan!

Even though Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura knew Akihara Kagura and Kakashi Hatake's group were enemies from Konoha, based on the order from that mysterious masked man to stop the Konoha Ninja, Karatachi Yagura guessed they were not on the same side as the masked man!

As long as they are not in cahoots…

For Karatachi Yagura, continuing to live and sit in the position of Fourth Mizukage was more unbearable than dying. What worse could happen in this world?

"Let me do it…"

Kakashi Hatake stepped forward to volunteer.

Although Uchiha Itachi was the true member of the Uchiha Clan, Kakashi Hatake was older and had used the Sharingan for a longer time.

Kakashi Hatake removed his eye patch, revealing his scarlet eye, with three black tomoe reflected in it, staring intently at Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura in front of him.

The next moment!

Kakashi Hatake's expression suddenly changed!

Looking at Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is… Someone had already placed a Sharingan genjutsu on him!"

"What!"

Akihara Kagura's face also showed a timely hint of surprise.

"How… is it possible?"

Uchiha Itachi also looked at Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura in disbelief, saying, "Is there anyone who can place a genjutsu on the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village?"

But…

This was the truth!

Without much speculation, Kakashi Hatake guessed it was Uchiha Obito who did it and immediately dispelled the genjutsu on Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura!

"Thank you."

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura regained consciousness.

The first thing this Mizukage did upon waking up was to thank them.

"Ah, you're welcome."

Kakashi Hatake, feeling a bit embarrassed, took the initiative to ask, "Lord Mizukage, was it Obito who placed the genjutsu on you?"

"Who is Obito?"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura rubbed his forehead, still a bit confused and unaware of what the masked man looked like.

"He's just a guy wearing a mask."

Akihara Kagura quickly chimed in and added, "That person always wears a mask, only revealing a Sharingan outside the mask."

"Oh…"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Right, he constantly wears a tiger-patterned mask, hiding his true face…"

"Is Obito in the Hidden Mist Village?"

Kakashi Hatake immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.

"He is!"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura quickly nodded and asked, "Do you know him? Is he a ninja from Konoha?"

"Uh…"

Kakashi Hatake was still a bit embarrassed and didn't really know how to refute, so he softly explained, "He is called Uchiha Obito… a traitorous ninja from Konoha."

Even though Kakashi Hatake didn't want to admit it, Konoha would inevitably list Uchiha Obito as a traitor, and he couldn't say Uchiha Obito was still a genuine ninja of Konoha.

"A ninja from Konoha, huh…"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words.

"Hey, kid…"

Akihara Kagura knocked his finger, tapping on Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura's head, "Recognize the reality a bit, you are now our captive from Konoha…"

"..."

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura held his head, turning to look at Akihara Kagura, glaring angrily at him: "Kid, my age is probably older than your father's!"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura had a very youthful appearance, but was actually quite old and had long since had a son!

"Really just a kid, huh…"

Akihara Kagura crouched down with interest, patting his forehead, "Kids always like to pretend to be grown-ups aggressively…"

"Tsk!"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura immediately grinned, baring a fierce expression.

"Ha!"

Akihara Kagura chuckled at Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, making the Mizukage even angrier: "Looks even more like a kid that way…"

"Alright, alright."

Kakashi Hatake quickly pulled Akihara Kagura aside, asking, "Lord Mizukage, can you take us to find Obito? We need to bring him back to Konoha."

"This…"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura frowned.

Actually, the Mizukage wanted more to kill Uchiha Obito; that guy controlled him, killing so many people of the Hidden Mist Village and forcing many excellent ninjas to defect…

The more Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura thought about it, the angrier he got, so much so that he forgot he was still under the control of the Konoha Ninja: "I will go back and kill him, I can hand over his corpse to you!"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

He had come to the Hidden Mist Village to investigate the whereabouts of Uchiha Obito, chasing his trail to ensure Uchiha Obito was captured alive, hadn't he?

"How come you still haven't recognized the situation?"

Akihara Kagura patted his head and turned to look at Kakashi Hatake. "Captain Kakashi, what's the point of asking him so much? We should catch Uchiha Obito first and bring the Mizukage back to Konoha together!"

"After going out…"

"We have to bring back some trophies, right?"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake really hadn't thought about this.

Because their original objective was to investigate the whereabouts of Uchiha Obito, he didn't expect to find traces of him so soon and hadn't considered taking Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura back.

After all…

This is the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village.

If they wanted to take him back, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village would probably go crazy. Could they handle the attacks of the Mist ninjas coming from all directions?

Furthermore, the Third Ninja World War had officially ended not many years ago, and Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village would surely go to war again. This would bring great trouble for the village, right?

"You intend to take me as a captive back to Konoha?"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura's face suddenly turned ugly. He initially thought everyone was going to deal with Uchiha Obito together and should be able to cooperate…

If these Konoha ninjas really thought this way, then the Hidden Mist Village would be nailed to the pillar of shame. In all previous wars, there had never been a shadow of a village captured as such.

Because…

Shadows of a village would only die in battle!

In many wars, the dying shadows were not few, yet there had never been one captive!

"Why can't we take you to Konoha?"

Akihara Kagura asked curiously, surprised as he continued, "You, being the Mizukage, were controlled by Uchiha Obito. Alive, you surely haven't contributed much to the Hidden Mist Village. Maybe taking you as a captive is a good thing for the Mist Village…"

"..."

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura was momentarily speechless.

The kid said it right; going as a captive to Konoha was better than staying in the Hidden Mist Village, as he also felt ashamed to face the villagers…

"No!"

Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura's eyes suddenly turned sharp, saying in a cold voice, "I have a better choice! I can still choose to die!"

"You want to die here?"

Akihara Kagura was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly gave a thumbs up towards Karatachi Yagura, seemingly admiring his thoughts: "The Hidden Mist Village would surely think we killed their Mizukage, leading the two villages into war. I quite like killing, and on the battlefield, there are no restrictions on killing…"

Akihara Kagura spoke while pulling out his ninja sword, smiling at Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura: "That's a good idea, I'll send you on your way now!"
