"I've never tried controlling a Jinchūriki or a Tailed Beast with the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Itachi, hearing the approaching commotion, suddenly thought of this problem.
"You don't need to use your Sharingan; our normal help will suffice. We should trust the strength of the Kirigakure ninja themselves."
Bai Mo waved his hand, "Don't even talk about whether you can control Yagura. Even if you could, the most likely outcome is that the Kirigakure people would turn from attacking him to attacking you."
Coming to Kirigakure in the Land of Water, the main purpose was to connect with the Land of Waves, as well as the Akatsuki Organization and Amegakure for development.
Even if Bai Mo and his group didn't come, Kirigakure could resolve it themselves.
As for Yagura, he was indeed a pitiful person.
From his conversation with Naruto, it was clear that Yagura was not a bloodthirsty killer.
Among the Jinchūriki, he was considered one of the most cheerful.
However, according to records, the Bloody Mist era was not initiated by Yagura, but he did amplify it.
This indicates that Yagura was already controlled by Madara before he was controlled by the Masked Man, Obito.
This also explains why Madara, in his scheme against Obito, could easily control the Three-Tails of Kirigakure, making the Kirigakure ninja pursue Kakashi and Rin.
If Madara controlled Yagura to give orders, then it wouldn't be strange.
Moreover, if this were the case, it wouldn't be difficult to explain why Yagura, this so-called "perfect Jinchūriki," was controlled by genjutsu.
According to Killer Bee's later statement, perfect Jinchūriki are immune to genjutsu, as there are two consciousnesses within the body.
If a Jinchūriki falls under genjutsu, the Tailed Beast can help dispel it.
Yagura was different.
He was controlled before becoming a Jinchūriki, and subsequently, the Three-Tails was first controlled by a Sharingan and then sealed into his body.
Two entities controlled by the Sharingan would naturally not conflict, thus forming the conditions for a "perfect Jinchūriki."
It's just that this situation was truly somewhat tragic.
Speaking of which, it becomes clear why Bai Mo didn't let Uchiha Itachi use his Sharingan to control Yagura and then release him from genjutsu.
Because once Yagura was controlled by Itachi, the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beast would no longer be under the same control.
After Yagura regained consciousness, with his originally cheerful and optimistic personality, discovering he had done so many twisted things, his mentality would explode in an instant.
At best, he would commit suicide to atone, or remain calm but quickly die of depression.
Otherwise, he would be directly possessed by the Three-Tails' chakra, becoming rampaging.
No matter the situation, in the eyes of Kirigakure, it would appear as if they had killed Yagura.
Furthermore, given Itachi's physical condition, the only time he used Susanoo while alive directly led to his demise.
Others consume chakra when using abilities, but he consumes life force.
It would be ridiculous to prematurely kill Itachi.

"Ha! We're finally here! Everyone, push harder! Water Release..."
The Kirigakure ninja finally leaped out of the forest.
One by one, they formed hand signs in mid-air, drawing on the seawater to unleash Water Release techniques.
Now it was clear why they were rushing this way.
Water Release ninja could only unleash their maximum power where there was water.
Stronger ones could project water themselves.
Weaker ones, or those with less mastery over Water Release, even the future Sixth Mizukage Chōjūrō, could only rely on Gaara to draw groundwater to use Water Release.
These Kirigakure ninja gradually shifted the battlefield to the seaside to reduce the disparity in strength.
Yagura's strength would also increase by the sea, but compared to Yagura, they had more people, so their overall increase would naturally be greater.
"Ao, check, there shouldn't be any villagers nearby, right?"
"No... Wait, no villagers, but there are two unfamiliar ninja... Uh, it should be one ninja, he's very powerful. As for the other, he's very strange, but he has no chakra."
Ao, with his Byakugan activated, scanned the coastline and noticed Bai Mo and Itachi.
"I'll keep an eye on them, Ao. You coordinate with the others and quickly help Lord Fourth Mizukage dispel the genjutsu."
Thud.
Mei Terumī, with her waist-length reddish-brown hair, landed in front of Bai Mo and Itachi, her expression vigilant.
"Fifth Mizukage, don't be nervous. We're here to help, and to discuss cooperation."
Before Mei Terumī could speak, Bai Mo interjected.
"Fifth Mizukage? Who?"
Mei Terumī was momentarily stunned by the words.
However, she understood the rest.
"Help? Cooperation? If you want to help, please stay here and don't move. If you want to cooperate, then show some sincerity and first tell your identity to your partner."
Mei Terumī sensed that Bai Mo seemed to have no ill will, but she still didn't relax her guard.
On the other side, Itachi heard Bai Mo call out "Fifth Mizukage" and saw the other party's confused expression, knowing that Bai Mo was doing it on purpose.
It seemed Bai Mo was preparing to tell the other party some things.
"Since Lord Mizukage has said so, then Itachi, don't make a move. Just go and watch, and if anyone's life is in danger, you can save them."
Bai Mo raised his hand.
"Yes."
Itachi instantly disappeared.
"Itachi? Uchiha Itachi? Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja?"
Mei Terumī was somewhat surprised to hear that name from Bai Mo's mouth.
After seeing Itachi's figure disappear, she quickly turned back and found that Itachi really followed Bai Mo's command, not making a move, and observing the battle from a certain distance, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she remembered Bai Mo's command to Itachi... it was too strange.
A rogue ninja from Konoha, coming to protect the lives of Kirigakure ninja?
Who was this person who could command Uchiha Itachi?
"Who exactly are you, sir? And what is your purpose?"
Mei Terumī calmed herself and continued to inquire.
"Haven't I told you my purpose? Help and cooperation.
As for my identity... how about this: a traveler from the future who wants to change the fate of the ninja world? How does that sound, Lord Mizukage?"
Bai Mo gave Mei Terumī a smile.
"The Mizukage of Kirigakure is Lord Yagura. I don't understand what you're saying. As for coming from the future... do you think I'd believe such a thing?"
Mei Terumī placed her hands in front of her chest, forming a starting hand sign, ready to attack at any moment.
If the other party was suddenly using such a fantastical tale to deceive her on such a matter, it meant that the so-called help, cooperation, and friendliness were also likely false.
"Don't rush, I have proof, but this proof is a bit private. Lord Mizukage, you must first promise not to get angry before I can show it."
Bai Mo took out a scroll from his pocket.
"Proof?"
Mei Terumī's hands relaxed, a hint of confusion in her brows.
--- Could what the other party said be true?
"Alright, I promise. Show me your proof."
Mei Terumī ignored Bai Mo's "don't get angry," not understanding what kind of proof could make her feel angry.
"Good."
Bai Mo opened the scroll and pulled out a photo from a stack of pictures.
But he didn't show it immediately; instead, he took out a voice recorder.
Click.

"Ugh~ handsome, do you know how hard it was for me back then~"
"My opponent was the legendary Uchiha Madara, and my four teammates... hiccup."
"One was an old pervert who had lived enough and could atomize twenty-five Susanoo."
"One was a suicidal mental pervert who would chop Susanoo with a knife while being hit by Amaterasu."
"One was a female pervert who couldn't die even after being stabbed through and cut in half."
"One was a young pervert who died once and came back to life, never sleeping."
"Me? I'm just an older single woman who can spray water..."
Mei Terumī: "..."
