Uchiha En didn't entangle with Ujiha for long. Seeing that he couldn't "persuade" Ujiha, Uchiha En found an opportunity to slip away.
Soon, the White Zetsu clones in the Land of Water confirmed that Uchiha En had left the Land of Water.
Upon learning this news, Obito turned his attention back to Kirigakure. He instructed the White Zetsu clones to keep a close watch on the Fourth Mizukage and Ujiha.
After Ujiha returned to Kirigakure, she made no unnecessary moves as per Uchiha En's orders, and even managed to erase the traces of her leaving the Village.
Ujiha's actions made Obito lower some of his guard against her.
At this point, all of Uchiha En's arrangements had taken effect. Now, it was up to Yagura.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who had broken free from the Genjutsu's control, was secretly and openly investigating the things he had done recently. At this moment, he was reviewing some of the orders he had issued since becoming Mizukage.
Yagura was certain that he had been controlled by Genjutsu twice.
The first time was by an old man claiming to be Uchiha Madara. That period of control wasn't too long; just like today, his Genjutsu was suddenly lifted one day.
Actually, this was because Uchiha Madara had died, and with his death, the control over Yagura naturally disappeared.
Yagura, who had regained control of his body, didn't reveal that he had been controlled. Instead, just like this time, he quietly investigated what orders he had issued while under control.
According to Yagura's previous investigation, after the old man claiming to be Uchiha Madara controlled him, he was executing a strange plan.
This plan involved sealing the Three-Tails into a Konoha Ninja's body, then sending this Ninja to Konoha to release the Three-Tails and cause destruction from within Konoha.
From Yagura's perspective, this plan was absurd. Could Konoha be shaken by a Three-Tails? Even Three-Tails plus Six-Tails probably wouldn't be enough.
The only commendable aspect of this plan was that the old man claiming to be Uchiha Madara had chosen a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Ultimately, this plan failed. Minato Namikaze's female disciple was killed by another of his disciples, Kakashi Hatake, and with the death of the Jinchuriki, the Tailed Beast naturally also died.
Afterward, he left the Village to search for clues about the person who controlled him, and then he encountered the Masked Man. After being defeated by him, he was controlled once again.
This sudden return to freedom made Yagura's intuition tell him that these people had not let him go, but were still lurking in the shadows, watching him like a tiger.
Yagura would naturally not sit idly by. His investigation into what he did while controlled was also to find these people's weaknesses.
Yagura was, after all, the Kage of a Village; he had some talent.
He quickly figured out what the caster had done with his body, and at the same time, he discovered the controller's attention to the Akatsuki Organization in Amegakure.
Yagura was distraught upon learning that he had initiated a large-scale massacre of Kirigakure's Kekkei Genkai clans. There was no doubt that he had become a great sinner of Kirigakure and would be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.
Therefore, Yagura kept wondering if he should infiltrate Amegakure, seek out this Akatsuki Organization, and investigate the situation of the mastermind to atone for his sins.
After much consideration, Yagura finally decided to take the risk and investigate.
Yagura's departure from the Village this time was partly to investigate Amegakure and partly to see if he could lure the snake out of its hole. Now that he was the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, he shouldn't be afraid of those people's Genjutsu.
Yagura then entrusted the Village's affairs to his trusted subordinate, instructing this subordinate to cultivate a Ninja capable of succeeding him as Mizukage, and then he left.
But Yagura didn't know that his every move was clearly seen by the White Zetsu in Kirigakure. As soon as he left Kirigakure, White Zetsu immediately reported to Obito, who had been lurking in the Land of Water.
White Zetsu emerged from the ground and said, "Obito, Yagura has left Kirigakure and is now heading towards the Land of Rain."
Obito's eye, visible through his mask, lit up upon hearing this. "Heh! As expected of a Village Kage, he found our weakness so quickly. However, this weakness is also his death warrant."
"Then let's go quickly! Yagura is clearly wary of us, and he's traveling very fast."
"Heh heh, no matter how cunning the fox, it can't escape the hunter's grasp." With that, Obito used Kamui to disappear with Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
Yagura sped towards the border of the Land of Water, while Obito and Black Zetsu and White Zetsu had already arrived at the Land of Water's border in advance using Space-Time Ninjutsu, where they set up a Barrier, waiting for Yagura to walk into their trap.
An hour later, Yagura arrived at the Land of Water's border. After taking a few steps forward, Yagura stepped into the Barrier.
White Zetsu decisively activated the Barrier, trapping Yagura, Obito, and his clones inside.
Looking at the white Barrier, Yagura's expression was calm, without a hint of panic, which made Obito feel a sudden unease.
However, Obito quickly suppressed the unease in his heart and, in Uchiha Madara's tone, said to Yagura, "Yagura, we meet again!"
Yagura smiled at Obito's words, then retorted with a hint of mockery, "You really came. Are you the one who controlled me last time?"
"You'll know soon enough if it's me!" Obito said, taking out the chains he used in the original work when fighting Minato Namikaze, and locking them onto his left and right hands.
"Alright, once I catch you, I'll know if you're the one who controlled me!" Yagura was not to be outdone, and red Tailed Beast Chakra began to emanate from his body.
After learning that he had become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura had already decided to lure the snake out of its hole, so he wasn't flustered at all when he saw the Barrier. With the Three-Tails, Yagura felt very confident.
But unfortunately, he encountered Obito today!
Yagura's confidence came from the Three-Tails, while Obito's Kamui made him invincible.
Yagura's attacks, empowered by the Three-Tails Chakra, passed right through Obito's body.
Yagura's face was grim. The last time they met, Obito hadn't used this kind of Jutsu!
Yagura knew very well that he couldn't defeat Obito if they kept fighting like this, because he couldn't break through Kamui at all.
So Yagura decided to undergo Tailed Beast Transformation, using the Three-Tails' power to break through the Barrier and leave this place first.
Upon seeing Yagura's Tailed Beast Transformation, Obito laughed heartily, and his Mangekyo Sharingan directly controlled the Three-Tails' consciousness.
After being controlled, the Three-Tails began to resist Yagura. The Three-Tails originally didn't want to resist Yagura, because it was better to stay inside Yagura than to be controlled by someone else!
But after being controlled by Obito's Mangekyo Eye power, the Three-Tails was against its will and began to resist Yagura. Soon, Yagura couldn't hold on.
Yagura's Tailed Beast Transformation automatically dispelled, and he fell to the ground. Obito seized the opportunity to cast a Genjutsu on Yagura, controlling him once again.
After seeing Obito deal with Yagura, White Zetsu immediately released the Barrier.
Obito manipulated the dazed Yagura to walk towards White Zetsu.
Then Obito ordered Yagura to return to Kirigakure and continue his role as the Fourth Mizukage.
However, due to Uchiha En's probing this time, Obito didn't dare to make any major moves for the time being, and Kirigakure temporarily returned to peace.
And this was precisely what Uchiha En wanted to see, so that Ujiha would have the opportunity to expose the Fourth Mizukage's control, and thus seize the position of Mizukage.
Uchiha En did all this with the goal of making Ujiha the next Mizukage.
