“One… only a single person?” – Yagura muttered while listening to the light sound of footsteps coming from a few passages away.
Considering that it is midnight currently, any shinobi from the village should not be coming to et him at this ti.
And before coming here, Yagura had already instructed the leftover few guards in the Mizukage Building to not disturb him, so, according to common sense, and with what little respect they have left for him, nobody would disturb him unless there is an ergency, the possibility of which can’t be ruled out.
‘Is there sothing wrong in the village?’ this was a montary thought, and a logical one too, but Yagura denied this possibility. Because if it was really an ergency, then the pace with which this person was coming towards him would have been rushed and panicked, not so quiet and relaxed.
Moreover, Yagura wasn’t sensing anything going on in the village, if so kind of chaos was going on in the village, then he would have felt that for sure, after all, vibrations are still detectable.
‘An assassin to kill ?’ was another guess, this one wasn’t wrong either, given how much pressure he has been facing for a few days now, it’s quite logical that so of them would also use the ans of assassination to get rid of him early.
When he thought of the possibility of an assassin, Yagura had a bit of hesitation on his face, ‘Am I really allowed to live after what I have led the village into? Perhaps I would be better off dead, perhaps the village would be better off with dead.’ guilt was already killing him, it would change nothing if he were to die early, it’s not as if anyone’s going to mourn his death after what he has led the village into.
‘But what’s if it’s an enemy who wants to use the weak period?’ was another thought as the image of the masked man, blue-haired Kunoichi of the paper style and ripple patterned eyed Shinobi flashed from his mories.
And along with mories, anger also appeared in his mind, normally, shinobi are not influenced by their emotions, but Yagura couldn’t restrain his anger when he thought of those Akatsuki mbers again trying to do sothing to the village.
With a gloomy expression, Yagura picked up his double hooked club and prepared for a battle, ‘If it is Akatsuki then….’ Thought Yagura as he disappeared from this room.
Yagura was controlled by Akatsuki and based on the information he has studied about the Akatsuki, their goal is to collect all the nine Bijuu, they already have Nibi, and since Ichibi is dead, so it’s possible that their next target is Sanbi…. But Yagura did not care whether their goal is Sanbi or him, he has to make sure that the village remains safe at all costs, after all, no one in Kirigakure can match up to their strength, the worst cos to worst, he will die, but the village should remain safe.
Whoosh…
With the sound of breaking past the wind, Yagura appeared in front of the intruder, Bijuu Chakra coating his body, killing intent in his move, and with anger surging in his heart his double hooked club with all his strength.
He did not want to be careless, because he recognizes the identity of the person standing before him.
A black cloak with a golden pattern, and a fla mask, Yagura may not have directly t this person before, but he does know the information about this person, everybody does.
It was none other than a mber of Amatsukami standing in front of him, to be more specific, it was Homusubi.
Ding…
But instead of killing the enemy with a single blow, a loud tal symphony resounded in the underground passage. The reason was that Homusubi blocked his club with a Kunai, and only took a single step backward to cancel off the montum of his strike.
Yagura wasn’t surprised, Amatsukami is on organization at the sa level as Akatsuki, so it is obvious that killing the enemy won’t be so easy, as such, he entered Version 2 Bijuu Mode “Do not think this village to be a playground for you people.” And lunged a kick at Homusubi’s head.
Boom…
But the kick was easily blocked by a red hand made of chakra that extended from a rib cage-type chakra wrapped around Homusubi.
Once a Jinchuriki enters the Bijuu Mode the strength behind each of their moves is increased several tis, this increase in strength is much more in the Version 2 mode, so Yagura was sure that even if it won’t kill Homusubi, it would at least send him flying, but the fact that Homusubi stopped that strike so easily was nothing short of a surprise.
Even the coral that was supposed to have trapped Homusubi was broken away by that ribcage structure.
“What is this red chakra?” – Yagura muttered to himself while analyzing the opposite party’s move, ‘It couldn’t be Susano’o, beca based on the intelligence Homusubi’s Susano’o is Golden… but that shape and that evil chakra…’
‘Be careful Yagura, that is undoubtedly Susano’o!’ was what Sanbi said to him.
‘Is that so, in that case, I must use Bijuudama, anything else won’t work on him!’ – Yagura said and started to condense Bijuudama.
“Amaterasu!”
But before he could fire the Bijuudama on Homusubi, black flas suddenly appeared on his body.
‘Katon?’ – thought Yagura but soon realized that’s not the case here, ‘This is no ordinary fire…’
Yagura soon realized that what engulfed him is no ordinary fire, it won’t just go away and he could only writhe and scream in agony and pain “Ahhhhhhh…” as all his attempts to get rid of the fire proved to be fruitless.
In just a short few monts Yagura collapsed, still burning from the heat of Amaterasu.
‘Damn you… Uchiha!’ was his last thought as he lost consciousness.
After Yagura lost consciousness, the Bijuu Cloak on his body disappeared, and the black flas also faded away under Homusubi’s command.
“Defeated him already huh? Your strength sure has improved Itachi” – said Tsukihi as she walked out from the shadows, she observed the entire fight that did not even last 30 seconds, in which Itachi made short work of the Mizukage.
Homusubi removed his mask and said, “I am still not strong enough to match you, Shisui-san, and Kuroto-san…”
Tsukihi just smiled and said, “You will reach there eventually.” Then continued after a pause, “Anyway, let’s see the state of Mizukage.”
Itachi nodded and gave way to Tsukihi to walk closer and check upon Karatachi Yagura’s state.
Looking at the miserable figure of Yagura, with several burns on both his hands, legs, face and other body parts, Tsukihi had a pitying look in her eyes.
But Tsukihi’s pitiful suddenly changed and she covered her nose and asked Itachi a more important question, “Amaterasu deserves to be the strongest Katon Ninjutsu, he won’t die, right?” the reason being that the sll of cooked at was perating in the air.
Amaterasu is obviously stronger than her Oshihomimi, because of its characteristics of burning for 7 days and 7 nights. It may not be as violent as Oshihomimi, but it still ranks above Oshihomimi. This is also one of the many reasons why Tsukihi made sure to bring Itachi with her. In the canon, Itachi easily defeated Yagura by the use of Amaterasu.
Itachi nodded, “He shouldn’t die as long as he receives tily dical attention.”
Tsukihi nodded and said while she printed the hand seals, “Alright Itachi, in that case, prepare to use what we have planned, I’ll make sure that Sanbi does not interfere.”
After that, she activated her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in order to Stop Sanbi’s interference.
