The Third Mizukage looked at the water turtle descending from the sky and immediately recognized it as a powerful Water Style technique created using the form of the Three-tailed Beast as a reference.
Its impact exceeded that of the Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu.
Without hesitation, the Water Dragon Slash was unleashed again, slicing the water turtle in half.
The Blade of Water that slices through iron like mud was the signature move of the Third Mizukage.
Apart from illusion attacks, taijutsu attacks, and conventional ninja techniques, all would be torn apart by the Blade of Water.
Compared to Konoha's Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Ninja Professor who could expertly use all five escape techniques, he only mastered Water Style ninja techniques.
In terms of adapting to the environment, he was far from the versatility of Konoha's Third Hokage, but because he had specialized in Water Style ninjutsu for decades, since the death of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, he was confident that no ninja in the world could surpass him in Water Style.
Rather than wasting energy on other jutsu, it was better to specialize in Water Style, which was enough for him to handle many enemies.
Water is formless, capable of embodying all things, and also transforming into an invincible blade in his hands!
The power of the Third Mizukage's Water Style, Yagura had personally experienced in previous battles.
No matter what kind of Water Style he used, he couldn't withstand the Third Mizukage's Water Dragon Slash, which could sever anything with its blade of water.
Even the hard body of a Tailed Beast was no exception.
Apart from its bulkiness, this was also an important reason Yagura was reluctant to use full Tailed Beast Transformation.
Against large-sized creatures, the Third Mizukage's Water Dragon Slash had more room to unleash its power.
Therefore, Yagura once again released a Tailed Beast Ball to attack the Third Mizukage without hesitation.
"Such attempts are useless against me!"
The Third Mizukage cast a jutsu, releasing water to cover the Tailed Beast Ball again; even if it exploded, it couldn't break through the water's constraints.
It was a powerful Water Style Fuinjutsu that could suppress everything.
It also demonstrated the water's capacity to embrace all forms.
However, this was precisely the outcome Yagura wanted.
Sure enough, after sealing the Tailed Beast Ball again, the Third Mizukage's gasping became even more rapid than before.
Moreover, the Chakra in his body was rapidly depleting.
In the Third Mizukage's sight, Yagura began to concentrate on forming a third small Tailed Beast Ball.
Even a small Tailed Beast Ball had explosive power no ninja's flesh and blood could withstand.
To avoid being engulfed by the explosion, the Third Mizukage had no choice but to use that seemingly energy and Chakra-draining sealing technique again.
The Third Mizukage seemed to have anticipated Yagura's strategy and cursed under his breath.
Yagura was a Perfect Jinchuriki, with a Tailed Beast in his body continually supplying and transmitting Chakra. No matter how arrogant he was, the Third Mizukage wouldn't dare to compete with a Tailed Beast in terms of Chakra consumption.
Among the Five Kage, only ninjas like the Raikage with special traits had the terrifying amount of Chakra comparable to a Tailed Beast.
In his prime, perhaps he could endure a prolonged battle, but now with his stamina and Chakra both on the decline, in a contest of Chakra with a Tailed Beast, he would definitely fall first.
Is it despicable? It's just a strategic application.
Playing to his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Yagura deeply understood the way of battle.
Competing in Water Style ninjutsu with the Third Mizukage was too disadvantageous; in taijutsu, they were equally matched, but he also had to be wary of the Third Mizukage's Water Dragon Slash surprise attacks, so competing in ninja techniques and taijutsu wasn't suitable.
As for illusion techniques... although both Yagura and the Third Mizukage knew how to counter them, neither were particularly skilled in illusion.
Therefore, competing in Chakra consumption was Yagura's avenue to victory.
Only this way could he secure final victory in this battle.

The heavenly lightning flashed, exploding continuously towards the ground under the guidance of the Thunder Blade.
The Thunder Blades Fangs, which could amplify Lightning Style and even attract heavenly thunder, were undoubtedly the most impressively destructive among the seven ninja blades.
At this moment, the Thunder Blade's destructive power was fully revealed.
Fuguki was constantly dodging, scurrying around the ground, unable to get even slightly close to Ringo Ameyuri.
If there was any intention to get closer, the concentrated power of heavenly thunder could dismantle his entire skeletal structure.
For that guy who used Fire Style Jutsu to trigger storm clouds, Fuguki detested him deeply.
Evidently, utilizing the traits of the Great Sword Shark Skin, he nullified all of Ringo Ameyuri's Lightning Style Jutsu in battle, gaining the upper hand. However, the moment storm clouds formed, Ringo Ameyuri turned the tables, going from defense to offense, fiercely pressing him down.
Damn it, why hasn't the reinforcements arrived? The signal should have been sent out! Fuguki was dodging the heavenly thunder attacks, thinking anxiously.
It has been more than half an hour since the signal was sent out; even if they were entangled by Yagura's men, at least one person should have come by now.
Especially when the sounds of battle could still be heard throughout the Hidden Mist Village, it was clear the fighting there had yet to conclude decisively.
But that's exactly what was strange, why hadn't anyone come to support him by now?
Jinin Akebino also went to deal with the person who used Fire Style Jutsu to assist Ringo Ameyuri, but why hasn't he returned yet?
Does it really take that long to deal with a Fire Style ninja?
Could he be worried about failing and simply ran away? Fuguki thought angrily, increasingly frustrated at the incompetents around him that could not be trusted.
