Why would sharks willingly work for free? Of course, it's the convenience of the Sharingan; it can even control Tailed Beasts, let alone a few sharks without Chakra.
It also saves his own Chakra. Constantly using Wind Release to travel is very tiring.
The poor sharks were used by Uchiha Nagi as free labor; some sharks were only released after they were exhausted and spitting foam.
With these underwater 'horses' pulling his boat, Uchiha Nagi's vessel rapidly left the Land of Water. Here, he always felt uneasy, primarily because there was water everywhere, making escape difficult.
Once tracked by a large number of Ninja, being forced to flee by sea would undoubtedly be very dangerous. The Anbu of the Land of Water are skilled in water combat and could wear him down with fast boats.
As someone who had lived on land for many years, Uchiha Nagi still preferred the feeling of solid ground beneath his feet.
"We're almost on land. I'll buy you a sword then, and I'll teach you a martial art that doesn't exist in this world," Uchiha Nagi said, turning to Kimimaro. "Something that doesn't exist in this world?" Little Kimimaro asked curiously.
"Yes, a Breathing Technique, a Breathing Technique used with swordsmanship. Don't you like carrying this bone sword? Perhaps you can become a powerful swordsman," Uchiha Nagi smiled.
Lead Kimimaro astray? Impossible. The Breathing Technique itself is a martial art skill that enhances the human body and doesn't conflict with his Shikotsumyaku. Orochimaru's Cursed Seal is also similar; the Cursed Seal uses a simplified version of natural energy, a low-tier Sage Mode, which is why Kimimaro was able to kill the Fourth Kazekage.
As for his later death fighting Gaara, he was already at his limit then, and he forcibly activated the final form of the Cursed Seal, causing a massive influx of natural energy, which naturally hastened his death. Even so, he was only a hair's breadth away—just one meter—from killing Gaara and Lee.
If he had just a few more seconds to live, the Ninja World would have lost two more supporting characters... However, at this moment, Uchiha Nagi doesn't plan to let Kimimaro unrestrainedly tap into the power of his Shikotsumyaku. He wants him to properly develop his body, cultivate other Ninjutsu, and the Breathing Technique. When he grows up, they'll see if his bloodline disease recurs. If it does, he'll snatch a pair of Byakugan to cure his illness.
Once cured, he can then fully develop his power—
Of course, whether White Zetsu's cells can cure Kimimaro's illness is still under investigation. After all, Kaguya and Hagoromo, though from the same mother, their genetic descendants have long since branched off. Cells from the First Hokage might not necessarily cure Kimimaro; otherwise, Orochimaru would have done it long ago, as he possesses First Hokage's cells... As Uchiha Nagi successfully landed—
Obito received the news and rushed to the Hidden Mist Village, but it was already too late. Uchiha Nagi had left, and Orochimaru had also left.
Although Obito's space-time Ninjutsu made travel very convenient, not even requiring a boat, the Land of Rain and the Land of Water are very far apart, with a vast Land of Fire in between... It's unclear how Obito managed to move between the two Villages so discreetly for so long, especially since the Fourth Mizukage required prolonged application of Mangekyo genjutsu, and he couldn't leave the Land of Water for extended periods, as he had to monitor many Akatsuki Organization matters... This is also why the Fourth Mizukage later broke free from his control, once he was not in the Hidden Mist Village for years and was discovered by Ao...
When Obito arrived in the Land of Water, a White Zetsu clone lurking there reported the situation to him: Uchiha Nagi and Orochimaru had already left, and the Kaguya Clan was planning a rebellion.
"Is that so? That Uchiha Nagi has already fled the Land of Water. What a pity. I didn't expect that after disappearing for over a year, he would grow to this extent and even be able to fight Orochimaru and escape unscathed," Obito said calmly.
Obito felt pressure from Itachi's combat intelligence; it seemed anyone who fought Itachi would have everything seen through by him, and in all of Itachi's battles, there had never been a single defeat.
His perpetual calmness and combat intelligence, always finding the flaws in Jutsu, made Obito wary. Compared to Nagato, Itachi made him feel more troublesome, so the grudge for Uchiha Nagi cutting off his arm was gradually put aside.
He needed someone with comparable strength who could also restrain Itachi, to be used as a pawn when Itachi rebelled.
"Yes, and the Kaguya Clan's rebellion is scheduled for tonight. You've arrived just in time…" White Zetsu chuckled.
When Obito was absent, to make the Fourth Mizukage appear less vacant and avoid suspicion of being controlled, White Zetsu naturally stepped in. White Zetsu absorbed a portion of the Fourth Mizukage's Chakra, then transformed into him and presided over the Hidden Mist Village.
Because of White Zetsu's disguise, the Hidden Mist Village was successfully controlled during Obito's absence.
However, White Zetsu could disguise the Fourth Mizukage, but he couldn't disguise the Tailed Beast within him. If Ao were to use his Byakugan to examine the Fourth Mizukage and find his body's Chakra pitifully low, he would likely become suspicious.
"Then let the Anbu deal with them. They're just a bunch of muscle-brained lunatics," Obito said indifferently.
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away. By the way, it seems many old families are getting restless with this extermination of the Kaguya Clan," White Zetsu chuckled.
"It doesn't matter. They're just a bunch of opportunists, mere rabble. A warning from the Fourth Mizukage, who hasn't appeared in a while, in his Tailed Beast form, will suffice," Obito said with disdain.
Are there any Kage-level individuals in the Hidden Mist Village? Perhaps there were before. Hohzuki Mangetsu, before he died, was a Kage-level candidate, but unfortunately, he succumbed to illness too soon.
And Kisame, who grew up later, was even more extraordinary, with more Chakra than a Kage, nicknamed the 'Human Tailed Beast,' which shows how immense his blue energy was, at least above Ichibi. There's also Mei Terumī, a favored child of heaven, a prodigy with two innate bloodline abilities.
However, many people are currently wary of the Fourth Mizukage, with his title of perfect Jinchuriki, and are observing or playing both sides, hoping not to be the first to make a move.
Little do they know, the longer they observe, the closer their demise. Obito already harbors deep hatred for the Hidden Mist Village and will not miss any opportunity to dismantle this Village. All bloodline families are part of his purge plan.
In the evening, the Fourth Mizukage convened a meeting. All the old families and high-ranking officials of the Hidden Mist Village gathered to discuss the Kaguya Clan's rebellion.
Even exterminating a bloodline family is not that easy. First, a legitimate reason is essential, because even the Mizukage's Anbu are living people, and ordering them to kill their own Village members requires a lawful pretext and evidence.
Ao secretly hid in the crowd. His eye patch was not removed, but the Byakugan behind it was secretly activated, revealing something that shocked him immensely.
The Fourth Mizukage had a distinct mass of Chakra in his brain, and similarly, in the diaphragm area where the Tailed Beast was sealed...
