Chapter 14: SJIN: Chapter 14
---
Mizuno and Danzo followed closely behind. He really wanted to know what was going on.
Danzo was secretly surprised. "Mizuno, your strength is truly unfathomable."
After all, when they were traveling together last time, Danzo had to stop specifically to wait for Mizuno.
But this time, he even needed Mizuno to remind him.
"Watch out!" Mizuno shouted.
A huge ninja sword suddenly slashed down.
Danzo instinctively drew his kunai to block the attack.
"Clang!"
A loud clang echoed. Mizuno finally saw the attacker's face.
It was a round-faced, tall, fat man, exuding a unique malicious aura.
"It's you, Fuguki Suikazan?" Mizuno exclaimed in surprise.
Fuguki Suikazan was Kisame Hoshigaki's superior. In the original story, he was killed by Kisame, who stole the Samehada from him. He was the first shown owner of Samehada.
Thinking of this, Mizuno quickly warned, "Be careful, Danzo. That sword can absorb chakra!"
But it was too late. Danzo felt a numbness in his feet, and his body began to go limp.
Fuguki Suikazan smiled slightly. "I didn't expect Konoha to have my information so quickly."
He didn't know Mizuno's background. He thought his information had been leaked, so he didn't continue to tangle with them. He left directly after his sneak attack failed.
Mizuno rushed over to check Danzo's injuries.
"Don't try to leave!"
Uchiha Kagami rushed back from the front. Two iron chains suddenly blocked his path.
Uzumaki Ryūzan!
Uchiha Kagami quickly turned around. "Damn it! It's you again!"
He chased after her, and a series of clanging sounds of fighting came from afar.
"Don't, don't mind me," Danzo gasped. He didn't expect that his chakra would be absorbed so much after just one encounter. "Go help Kagami. Don't fall for their trap."
Mizuno nodded and turned to go towards Kagami.
When he arrived, Kagami was half-kneeling on the ground, with a pool of blood beneath him.
"Kagami, are you alright?"
Mizuno ran over and found that the other man didn't have any obvious injuries.
"Don't worry, it's not mine," Kagami said.
"There's someone else hidden in the shadows. He's also a guy with a big sword. It's a strange weapon."
"Is it a white long sword, with a distinct circle on the blade?" Mizuno asked.
Kagami looked at him. "That's right. How did you see it too?"
Mizuno shook his head, but he knew it was definitely the Kubikiribocho.
Of course, it couldn't be Zabuza, but it must be an elite shinobi from the Land of Water. Kagami was right not to attack first. If he chased after them, who knows what kind of trap they would have set.
"And that little vixen, Uzumaki Ryūzan. It's a shame they got away again," Uchiha Kagami said angrily.
Knowing their identities was good. To take care of Danzo, Mizuno and Uchiha Kagami decided to return to Konoha first. After all, they had been away for too long, and they couldn't be sure if anything else would happen in Konoha.
However, when they returned to the Hokage building, they received another piece of bad news.
The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, had disappeared.
"Did they rescue Senju Mineshi and then also rescue Mu?" Uchiha Kagami asked.
"No," Mizuno didn't think so. "Maybe it's just a coincidence. Mu and Senju Mineshi have no connection."
...
...
Within the Land of Earth.
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, finished dealing with a batch of documents, told everyone they could leave, and closed the door to his office.
"You can appear now." Ōnoki said.
Mu's figure appeared in his field of vision.
He had been hiding in the office the whole time.
"Even though it's been three months, I'm still incredibly shocked," Ōnoki said.
Yes, it was truly unbelievable.
The deceased Second Tsuchikage had returned to the Land of Earth in this Edo Tensei state.
"It's not time for you to relax yet," Mu said. "After all, my other half hasn't come back yet."
Ōnoki nodded.
At the time, in order to deal with the relentless pursuit of the Senju clan, Mu had used the Splitting Technique to split himself.
He thought it would only take a few days to handle everything, but he had no news until now.
"Can't you sense your other half's condition?" Ōnoki asked.
Mu shook his head. "I can only sense where he is, not what he's been through."
Ōnoki understood what he meant. "So, your other half has been in Konoha all this time?"
Mu said, "That's right. It's always been like that, but now it's different. Yesterday afternoon, my other half suddenly left Konoha and is now around the border of the Land of Rain."
Ōnoki breathed a sigh of relief. "I told you, as long as you want to come back, Konoha can't keep you. The Land of Rain, you can merge back into one within a day or two at most."
Mu nodded woodenly.
He had a faint sense of unease.
On the border of the Land of Rain.
The other half of Mu, completely wrapped in bandages, finally revealed his body in the rain.
After all, it had been raining continuously in this area. He was hidden in mid-air, and the splashing water droplets made him look even more eerie.
He had no attachment to this world anymore.
But the new Hokage's ascension in Konoha had stirred something in him. Over the past three months, he had gathered a lot of information.
Taking advantage of the invasion of Konoha, he escaped.
Next, he had to quickly return to the Land of Earth to unify the information.
However, Mu had only taken a few steps when he frowned.
He suddenly stopped.
Behind him, a beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes appeared.
It was the same chakra as when he escaped from Konoha when someone invaded.
"I thought you weren't coming for me," Mu said.
Uzumaki Ryūzan smiled. "You're truly the Second Tsuchikage. Your perception is sharp."
The fog around them gradually thickened.
Mu could clearly sense two shinobi-level presences, and each of them was holding a special sword.
It's a shame that I can't use Dust Release in my split state.
He turned around.
"The Mist Hidden Technique is fine for dealing with those Konoha brats, but it won't work on me."
Uzumaki Ryūzan's red lips curved into a slight smile. "Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble. Our master just wants to see you."
Mu furrowed his brow. "Your master?"
A figure appeared in the thick fog.
Mu's heart showed a hint of surprise, something he hadn't felt in a long time.
He hadn't sensed this person's presence at all!
It was incredible. Mu couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't seen someone so strange in many years.
"Second Tsuchikage," the person spoke. "I need you to serve me."
Mu clasped his hands together, forming the hand seal for Earth Release.
Instinct told him that this person was very dangerous!
The person's voice was as calm as a well, but each word hammered into Mu's heart. "Forget it. You only have half your strength now. You can't even use your full power. Don't make any futile struggles."
