Chapter 168: Madara's Anger


It seemed as if the Uzumaki clan member had heard Kazuki's words, as a flicker of light passed through her eyes, and she stared intently at Kazuki.


"Don't worry, this time, Kirigakure will definitely pay a heavy price."


Kazuki was actually a bit puzzled. Logically, Madara shouldn't harbor such hatred towards the Uzumaki clan. The destruction of Uzushiogakure should have been enough to achieve Madara's goal.


He had a vessel for the Rinnegan, eliminated a strong Uchiha, and obtained a rather good pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.


However, Kazuki still didn't know what Kagami's Mangekyo Sharingan ability was, he would have to ask Hiruzen if he had the chance.


As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen should know, right?


Soon, Kazuki thought of something else, could Madara be trying to force Mito to her death?


Previously, the only one in the Ninja World who posed even a slight threat to Madara was Mito.


As for whether there was a life-and-death feud between Mito and Madara? Of course, there was.


Perhaps in Mito's heart, they were once good friends, but now Mito had no doubt that Madara wanted to kill her.


And it was normal for Madara to be dissatisfied with Mito. After all, there was the hatred of having a husband stolen between them, wasn't there?


It was normal for him to want to kill Mito.


However, to harbor such hatred for the Uzumaki clan as well, was something Kazuki hadn't expected.


These guys from Kirigakure clearly treated this Uzumaki clan member as an experimental subject. If they wanted to cultivate her as a Jinchuriki, they wouldn't have severed her tendons and hamstrings, nor would they have left her looking neither human nor ghost-like.


The woman opened her mouth but said nothing, yet Kazuki believed he understood her. "I beg you."


People who lose their homes are miserable. At points like this, even death is a release.


Kazuki walked up to the woman, scanned her from head to toe, paying particular attention to the seals. He had to admit, these Sealing Jutsu were quite advanced. Although they were still significantly different from Mito's, they were far superior to those of an ordinary ninja's.


If Kazuki hadn't received guidance from Mito, he probably wouldn't have been able to recognize these Sealing Jutsu. But now, although he wasn't the most proficient in Sealing Jutsu, his Sealing Jutsu was among the best in Konoha.


He quickly formed hand signs, slapped the woman's abdomen, and Chakra surged wildly. Accompanied by a roar, the Three-Tails' body suddenly appeared in Kirigakure.


"Face me!"


Kazuki let out a cold snort, and in an instant, the Three-Tails was controlled by him. Then, a playful smile appeared on his face.


'Interesting, did Madara leave a contingency on the Three-Tails?'


Kazuki remembered that in the future, Obito had even controlled the Fourth Mizukage.


At that time, the Fourth Mizukage had the Three-Tails inside him, and the Three-Tails was most likely controlled by Madara, which allowed Obito to control the Fourth Mizukage in that manner.


However, the ocular power Madara left on the Three-Tails was not difficult for Kazuki to break. With just a surge of ocular power, he easily broke it, and then manipulated the Three-Tails to release a Tailed Beast Ball.


"Oh no, what is that?"


"The Three-Tails! The Three-Tails has broken out!"


"Look, there's someone on the Three-Tails' head!"


"That's Kazuki. He's here. Quickly go and summon Third Mizukage-sama."


"Mizukage-sama is not in the village."


The moment the Three-Tails appeared, it immediately caught the attention of Kirigakure residents, and fear arose in countless hearts.


There was no other way. The Three-Tails' Chakra was not something an ordinary person could compare to, and such a colossal creature made countless people feel pressured.


Perhaps the Three-Tails' strength might only be at the Kage level, but its destructive power against ordinary ninjas was far beyond that of Kage-level experts.


And at this moment, many people in Kirigakure began to despair, unaware that Kazuki was seething with rage.


That Uzumaki clan member had been killed. Although he had released her from her suffering, and they were strangers, Kazuki's heart could not settle down. At the same time, it further strengthened his resolve to change this world.


Because Kazuki and the Three-Tails' appearance had attracted Kirigakure's attention, Mikoto and Minato, among others, quickly moved through Kirigakure, heading towards the location Kazuki had sensed.



On the other side, the moment Kazuki broke the ocular power within the Three-Tails, Madara, thousands of miles away, instantly sensed it. He widened his eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief.


"Madara? What's wrong?" Black Zetsu cautiously asked Madara.


"The Three-Tails has been released." Madara said in a low voice.


Black Zetsu fell silent. So what if the Three-Tails was released?


The plan's time hadn't arrived yet, and the Rinnegan still needed to gestate, it was far from time.


Whatever happened to the Three-Tails now, even if it died, Black Zetsu wouldn't care too much. They had enough time for the Three-Tails to revive.


"The ocular power I left on the Three-Tails has been broken." Then, Madara's words made Black Zetsu unable to remain calm.


"Is it Kazuki?" Black Zetsu asked anxiously.


"It should be Kazuki." Madara's eyes turned cold.


"I never thought this brat would become such a major threat to us."


Kazuki's growth had always been observed by Madara. He suspected that Kazuki had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and moreover, his Chakra seemed to be incredibly abundant.


Madara had also suspected whether Mito had done something to Kazuki's body.


Could it be that Kazuki also merged with Hashirama's cells?


If that were the case, many things could be explained, but the more it was so, the more Madara couldn't remain calm.


If this continued, would Kazuki awaken the Rinnegan?


"How should we deal with Kazuki?" Black Zetsu asked cautiously.


Kazuki was troublesome, but didn't they still have Madara on their side?


The question was how much of Hagoromo's memories Kazuki possessed.
