Chapter 050: Silent Kill

In short, the time was now the 52nd year of Konoha, and soon it would be the 53rd year.

There were still a few years until the start of the story.

At this time, Zabuza was already an adult.

From this, it could be judged that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura had long become Obito Uchiha's tool, making the entire Mist Village suffer greatly.

But what was happening now? Why was the Fourth Mizukage in conflict with Obito Uchiha?

Could it be that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura had broken free from Obito Uchiha's genjutsu?

That was not impossible.

Wang Bo remembered that, perhaps because Obito Uchiha went too far, the Mist Village's higher-ups suspected Yagura was being controlled, and finally, with the help of Mei Terumi, Ao used the Byakugan to dispel the genjutsu on Yagura.

After regaining his sanity, Yagura did not die immediately but passed away several years later. The Mist side did not want to make a big deal of it, so they kept it a secret.

The Mist Village, having lost its Mizukage, was governed by the elder 'Genji,' who held power equal to the Mizukage, so all important village matters required his consultation.

This situation continued until the eve of the Fourth Great Ninja War. To solve the problem of tailed beasts being continuously captured by the Akatsuki, the Fourth Raikage A invited the four Kage to participate in the rare Five Kage Summit.

Since after the Fourth Mizukage's death, the Mist had been managed by the high-ranking elder Genji, but Genji was old and infirm, so he passed the Mizukage hat to Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi thus became the Fifth Mizukage.

So it was entirely possible for Obito Uchiha and Yagura to clash.

After all, Obito Uchiha had controlled Yagura, and when Yagura's genjutsu was undone, Obito Uchiha would naturally sense it, so he came to see who had undone his genjutsu.

Thus, the two clashed here.

But Wang Bo was very doubtful. Yagura had been controlled once; how could he still have the courage to face Obito Uchiha?

Wasn't he afraid of being controlled again?

Or were there details he hadn't noticed?

As Wang Bo thought this, he looked around and indeed found some very interesting things in the shadows.

He spotted several people around the battlefield.

One of them had emerald eyes, brown cross-long curly hair, with her right eye covered by hair. She was a very beautiful mature woman.

With her attire, Wang Bo recognized her immediately.

It was Mei Terumi, the future Fifth Mizukage.

Beside Mei Terumi was a man with long blue hair, one of whose eyes was the Byakugan of Konoha's Hyuga clan.

Without a doubt, he was Mei Terumi's right-hand man, Ao.

Besides these two, Wang Bo also found some hidden ninjas.

That is, Yagura was not facing Obito Uchiha alone but with a group of ninjas. This was actually a trap.

Obito Uchiha sensed his genjutsu was undone and rushed over, only to be ambushed here.

And the ship Wang Bo's group was on happened to intrude into the edge of this battlefield, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

After all, neither of the two fighting here was a simple character.

One was the perfect jinchuriki, the other was Uchiha Obito.

Before his fall to darkness, this guy was nothing but a dead last, but after turning dark, he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and his strength soared.

In the end, he even became the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, a Six Paths-level powerhouse.

Clearly, the saying that darkness triples one's strength isn't just talk—Uchiha Obito is a prime example. After his fall, he didn't just triple in strength; it was thirty times, three hundred times.

Meanwhile, the two locked in combat sensed someone intruding on their battlefield and, as if by mutual agreement, stopped.

Both pairs of eyes converged on Wang Bo.

And Terumi Mei's group, hidden at the edge of the battlefield, couldn't help but fix their gazes on Wang Bo as well.

Everyone wanted to know whether this suddenly appearing man was an enemy or a friend.

Wang Bo saw this, his eyes flickering a few times, and said slowly, "You two, the ship I was on accidentally strayed into your battlefield. Could you perhaps relocate and spare the dozens of innocent lives on that ship?"

Uchiha Obito burst into laughter, his laughter filled with contempt.

After turning dark, he could kill even his own master and mistress, let alone a few dozen innocent lives.

"Get lost!"

After laughing, he roared at Wang Bo with overwhelming arrogance.

Wang Bo nodded, placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and with a click, sheathed it.

Everyone was taken aback—why had he drawn his sword only halfway and then put it back?

The next second, one of Uchiha Obito's arms detached from his shoulder and fell into the sea with a splash.

Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, I cut wrong."

Supersonic Silent Slash!

Wang Bo admitted that Uchiha Obito was indeed formidable, especially the ability of that Mangekyo Sharingan... Kamui!

Once he activated Kamui, even Wang Bo couldn't harm him.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Wang Bo. If he didn't use Kamui, Uchiha Obito was nothing in Wang Bo's eyes.

Take this Supersonic Silent Slash, for example—it swings the blade at over ten times the speed of sound, and it's utterly silent. Not even the naked eye, let alone the Sharingan, could track Wang Bo's swing speed.

Because Wang Bo was simply too fast.

Incredibly fast.

So fast that others would be cut down by Wang Bo before they could even react.

With that last slash, to take down Uchiha Obito without giving him a chance to react, Wang Bo had gone all out, which slightly reduced his precision.

He had intended to split Uchiha Obito in two from the crown of his head.

But he cut wrong, only severing one of Uchiha Obito's arms.

When the pain hit, Uchiha Obito realized his arm had been cut off and fallen into the sea. He couldn't help but scream, instinctively activating Kamui and retreating into another dimension.

He feared that if he delayed even a second, he would be finished.

Because he hadn't seen the man make a move at all—this dealt a massive blow to his confidence.

Ever since awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength had been rising steadily; he could even control the Nine-Tails, and Nagato was a puppet in his hands. Without a doubt, he had become insufferably arrogant.
