In just a single clash, more than a dozen Kirigakure shinobi surrounding i Terumī fell lifeless.
The splatter of blood and the thick, tallic scent in the air ignited i's fury.
Though this battlefield was far from the ocean, the dense mist and humidity of the Land of Water were all she needed.
A barrage of Water Release techniques—combined with hidden weapons—shot toward Shisui from every direction!
"Uchiha Shisui! Don't get ahead of yourself! Do you really think a re two thousand of you can defeat us?"
i's voice was icy.
Umbrella had brought roughly two thousand elite operatives, while Kirigakure had a force exceeding ten thousand.
"History belongs to the victor. Just because you think you can win doesn't an you will!
Your ambition is ridiculous—destined to collapse!"
Her tone dripped with disdain. Umbrella's goal was nothing less than the domination of the entire shinobi world—too wild, too unthinkable.
Shisui let out a short laugh.
"Tis have changed, Mizukage-sama.
This world is no longer driven by lone heroes… but by unity."
His eyes sharpened.
His voice bood:
"Form up!!"
Behind him, Zabuza Momochi brandished Kubikiribōchō, sharply signaling the rest of their forces.
They were badly outnumbered. Even with superior equipnt, a head-on clash would be grueling.
Thus—they activated Umbrella's Military Formation Jutsu:
Martial Arts Army Formation
and
Chakra Army Formation.
The chakra of thousands surged and joined as one—
a monuntal killing intent erupted into the sky.
"What… what kind of secret technique is this?!"
i's eyes widened.
To her vision, the chakra of Zabuza and every Umbrella shinobi had rged into a single colossal entity.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!!"
A titanic wave—shaped as a roaring dragon of water spanning over a thousand ters—rose into the air.
The Hidden Mist forces looked up with horror frozen on their faces.
Morale snapped.
"Is that really ninjutsu…?"
"That's not human power…"
"Monsters. They've beco actual monsters!"
So shinobi stumbled backward, terror stripping away their will to fight.
"Stand firm!! We are Kirigakure shinobi—
We don't break that easily!"
Chōjūrō shouted, desperately trying to rally his comrades despite his own trembling grip.
Beside him, Ao activated his Byakugan—observing the technique's structure.
"Their chakra… it's all being funneled into a single point!
They're focusing the power of thousands into one technique!
If we disrupt their coordination—even from one side—we might break their formation!"
His voice held a spark of hope.
But i only shook her head—expression heavy.
"Not that simple…
With synchronization at this level, their formation will adapt instantly.
Only overwhelming force could break through."
From her seasoned judgnt, the only way to counter such a united attack was raw power exceeding all of them combined.
And Kirigakure… no longer possessed such power.
A bitter smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
Now she finally understood Umbrella's confidence.
With only two thousand, they dared to block the Mist's army of ten thousand…
Still—
Surrender was not her way.
"Everyone! We fight to the last breath!!"
"To the death!!"
"For Kirigakure—Fight to the death!!!"
The Hidden Mist forces roared, faces twisted with grim resolve.
i inhaled deeply, then raised her voice toward Shisui:
"If we lose…
Promise
this—spare Kirigakure's innocent civilians."
Shisui paused—taken aback.
Even now, she worried not for herself, but for the people she led.
That earned her a flicker of respect in his heart.
But—
For Naruto's grand design… this step was necessary.
Shisui nodded solemnly:
"Of course. Umbrella is not here to destroy the innocent.
We fight for the people—not against them.
You have my word: they will live better than before."
Then he glanced toward Zabuza.
Zabuza grinned savagely—
—he already knew the command.
Shisui t i Terumī's gaze—the final mont between commanders who both understood what must co next.
Behind Shisui, the titanic Water Release dragon lood above the battlefield like a divine beast, its presence alone enough to crush morale.
i made the first move.
If she hesitated even a heartbeat longer, her resolve might shatter.
"Lava Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"
Boiling acidic vapor surged from her lips, swallowing Umbrella's front line in a corrosive haze. Even portions of Zabuza's water dragon began to sizzle and evaporate.
Shisui's expression darkened—
"Defend!"
"Haku!"
Zabuza's voice rang out.
Haku's hands blurred through seals— in an instant, a do of glittering Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals ford overhead, sealing their forces within a fortress of frozen mirrors.
Ice against acid—cold against heat.
Under Umbrella's amplified chakra formations—i's Jutsu couldn't even scratch the surface.
"Lava Release: lting Apparition Technique!!"
An ocean of corrosive lava surged forward, swallowing everything in its path.
But Shisui's crimson Sharingan spun—and his form flickered out of existence.
The ground where he stood was devoured in a heartbeat.
Haku struck again—freezing waves of molten acid into solid jade-like sculptures.
"Impossible…"
i stared wide-eyed.
Her most dangerous techniques—nullified in seconds.
anwhile, countless Shisui afterimages danced around her, each indistinguishable from the real thing. Many had believed his fa rested on Kotoamatsukami…
But Shisui had pushed his Body Flicker Technique to a transcendent level—
When the real becos illusion, and illusion becos real.
"Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!!"
A roaring dragon of water—charged with crackling lightning—erupted forward.
A collaborative Ninjutsu once perford by the Mizukage and Raikage—
—now executed alone by Shisui.
It tore through Kirigakure ranks.
And in the sa instant—Shisui's blade flashed, slicing through i's defenses and leaving thin crimson cuts across her arms and shoulders.
Her eyes widened.
"He combines genjutsu… taijutsu… kenjutsu… and shunshin…
A monster…"
i inhaled sharply—
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Another colossal dragon surged forward.
But Shisui raised his blade—chakra sharpening its edge to the point where Intent itself beca a weapon.
Kenjutsu Secret Art: Instant God Slash!
One strike—and i's Water Dragon split cleanly in two.
Hidden Mist forces collapsed beneath the shockwave, many stunned or knocked unconscious.
Those who dared et the lightning dragon head-on…
…died without even a final scream.
i's lips trembled into a bitter smile—
They were like a mantis trying to stop a charging war chariot.
She finally understood:
Umbrella didn't co here to gamble—
—they ca already certain of victory.
Shisui materialized behind her, blade resting coldly against her neck.
"Surrender, Mizukage-sama.
A new era is coming."
Breathing heavily, i forced out one last question:
"That power…
What did you use just now?"
Shisui's Sharingan glimred.
"Intent.
A sword guided not by muscle or chakra—
but by the will to cut."
Naruto once told him—if he fully mastered Intent…
He would step beyond Kage—
—into the realm of Super-Kage.
