Comeback of Senju Clan

Chapter 32: Siege on Kirigakure

The week of relentless fighting had brought Tetsuya Senju's team to the edge of Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist. The landscape was shrouded in a perpetual haze, making it an ideal battleground for ambushes and guerrilla tactics. Yet, Tetsuya's team had pushed through, their skill and determination unwavering.

Standing at the outskirts of the village, Tetsuya addressed his team, the tension palpable in the air. "Today, we bring this conflict to an end. Our objective is to infiltrate the village and corner Yagura. Stay focused, and watch each other's backs."

Itachi, Shisui, Kakashi, and Might Guy nodded, their resolve clear in their eyes. Mei Terumi, who had fought alongside them tirelessly, also stood ready, her loyalists prepared for the final assault.

They moved swiftly and silently, slipping through the heavy mist that cloaked Kirigakure. Tetsuya led the way, his senses heightened by the sage mode he had perfected over the past three years. The village was eerily quiet, the usual bustle replaced by the silence of anticipation.

As they approached the central compound where Yagura was believed to be, Tetsuya signaled for them to halt. "This is it. We'll divide into two groups. Itachi, Shisui, you're with me. Kakashi and Guy, you provide backup and handle any reinforcements. Mei, coordinate your forces to secure the perimeter."

With their plan in place, they moved in. The interior of the compound was dimly lit, shadows dancing on the walls as they advanced. The tension was thick, each step measured and silent.

Suddenly, a group of guards appeared, and the battle commenced. Itachi and Shisui moved like blurs, their Sharingan eyes predicting and countering every attack. Kakashi's precision and Guy's overwhelming strength made quick work of any resistance.

Tetsuya's focus remained on the objective. They fought their way deeper into the compound, finally reaching the central chamber. There, standing with an almost serene expression, was Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage.

"Yagura," Tetsuya called out, his voice echoing in the chamber. "Your reign of terror ends today."

Yagura's eyes flickered with a strange light as he regarded Tetsuya and his team. "So, you've come this far," he said, his tone eerily calm.

Without another word, the battle erupted. Yagura's power as a Jinchuriki was formidable, his control over the Three-Tails making him a devastating opponent. The room shook with the force of their clashes, water jutsus clashing against lightning and earth.

Tetsuya moved with precision, his mastery of water and sage techniques allowing him to counter Yagura's attacks effectively. Itachi and Shisui coordinated seamlessly, their dojutsu providing critical support. Kakashi and Guy held off additional reinforcements, ensuring their teammates could focus on Yagura.

Yagura began by unleashing a torrent of water, "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" A massive dragon made of water surged towards Tetsuya, its eyes glowing menacingly. Tetsuya responded with his own technique, "Water Style: Water Wall!" The two forces collided, sending a spray of water throughout the chamber.

"He's strong," Itachi muttered, his Sharingan analyzing every move. "But we can't let up."

Shisui nodded, "I'll create an opening. Be ready."

Shisui dashed forward, engaging Yagura with swift taijutsu strikes. Yagura parried each blow effortlessly, his speed and strength enhanced by his tailed beast. Shisui flipped back, forming hand signs rapidly. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" A massive fireball hurtled towards Yagura.

Yagura countered with "Water Style: Water Mirror Jutsu!" A mirror made of water appeared, reflecting the fireball back at Shisui. Tetsuya intervened, "Water Style: Water Encampment Wall!" A barrier of water rose, absorbing the reflected attack.

Kakashi and Guy continued to fend off reinforcements, their teamwork impeccable. "Dynamic Entry!" Guy's powerful kick sent an enemy flying, while Kakashi's lightning-infused kunai took down another.

Meanwhile, Tetsuya switched to sage mode, feeling the natural energy surge through him. His reflexes sharpened, and he sensed Yagura's every move. "Now, Itachi!" he called out.

Itachi's Sharingan glowed as he cast a powerful genjutsu, "Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change!" The illusion trapped Yagura, distorting his perception. Yagura struggled, his chakra flaring as he tried to break free.

"He's resisting," Itachi grunted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Keep the pressure on," Tetsuya ordered, moving in to attack Yagura directly. He unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one enhanced by sage energy. Yagura blocked and countered, but Tetsuya's strength was formidable.

The battle raged on, the chamber shaking with the force of their techniques. Yagura summoned the power of the Three-Tails, his form shifting slightly as his chakra surged. "I'll crush you all!" he roared, his voice distorted by the tailed beast's influence.

Tetsuya's eyes narrowed. "Not if I can help it. Sage Art: Raging Water Severing Wave!" A massive wave of water, infused with natural energy, crashed towards Yagura. The force was overwhelming, pushing Yagura back and creating an opening.

Itachi and Shisui seized the opportunity, their coordinated attacks breaking through Yagura's defenses. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Multiple fireballs rained down on Yagura, forcing him to focus on defense.

Kakashi and Guy joined the fray, their combined attacks adding to the assault. "Lightning Blade!" Kakashi's lightning-infused hand struck Yagura, while Guy's "Morning Peacock!" barrage of punches overwhelmed him.

Despite his incredible power, Yagura began to falter. Tetsuya moved in for the final blow, "Water Style: Raging Torrent!" A concentrated stream of water struck Yagura, sending him crashing into the wall.

Breathing heavily, Tetsuya approached the fallen Mizukage. "It's over, Yagura."

Yagura struggled to his feet, his eyes clearing as the influence of the genjutsu faded. Confusion and anger mixed on his face as he realized what had happened. "Who...?" Yagura began, but before he could finish, Tetsuya moved in, delivering a swift, incapacitating strike. Yagura crumpled to the ground, unconscious but alive.

Tetsuya quickly sealed Yagura's chakra, ensuring he could not retaliate. Breathing heavily, he turned to his team. "Good work, everyone. We've done it."

Itachi and Shisui nodded, though their expressions were grim. "Whoever placed Yagura under that genjutsu is still out there," Itachi said quietly.

Tetsuya nodded. "We'll find them. But for now, we need to secure the village and ensure peace for the Land of Water." After this Tetsuya sealed Yagura in prison scroll.

As they began the task of stabilizing Kirigakure, the weight of their victory settled in. They had ended the tyranny of Yagura and paved the way for a new era of peace. But the mystery of the genjutsu lingered, a reminder that their work was far from over.
