Chapter 338 Yuanshi

After sneaking into the Hidden Mist Village, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo did not immediately go to the Mizukage Building.

After the assassination attempt failed, Zabuza realized the gap between him and the Fourth Mizukage. Even if he and Biwa Juzo joined forces this time, they still could not be the opponent of the Fourth Mizukage.

If you want to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage and find the mastermind behind the scenes, you must find more partners.

Biwa Juzo did not have so many ideas. He just came to cooperate with Zabuza. In his mind, only the Akatsuki Organization and the adults Nagato and Byakuya can save the Hidden Mist Village.

After finding a base left behind and changing clothes, the two came to the Hidden Mist Street.

Before the official action, they need to inquire about the news in the village first to see if they can collect useful intelligence and prepare for the next action.

Walking on the familiar streets, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar villagers and ninjas, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo's faces gradually became gloomy.

The Hidden Mist Village is not a poor ninja village, but the villagers here live a very bad life.

All the reasons are the blood mist policy issued by the fourth generation Mizukage and the purge against the bloodline family. Because of the purge, many innocent ninjas and civilians were implicated.

Among them are ordinary ninjas of the bloodline family, and even ninjas related to the bloodline family.

Even in the later stage of the purge, even ninjas who have nothing to do with the bloodline family can use this excuse to attack each other without any punishment.

In this environment, all the villagers of the Hidden Mist Village live cautiously, fearing that they will be involved with the bloodline ninja.

It is precisely because of this environment where everyone is in danger that Biwa Juzo chose to leave the Hidden Mist Village, and Zabuza chose to assassinate the Mizukage and overthrow the rule of Karatachi Yagura.

It has been a long time since the purge.

Zabuza and Biwa Juzo thought that the Fourth Mizukage would be more restrained, but they didn't expect that the current situation was no different from that time. The Fourth Mizukage still issued orders to hunt down the bloodline ninjas, and the villagers of Kirigakure were still living in panic.

After strolling around the street, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo returned to the temporary base.

Recalling the pale and thin villagers on the street, and then thinking of the ordinary people living and working in peace and contentment in the Land of Fire, Zabuza clenched his fists and said:

"Biwa Juzo, after we defeat Yagura Goji this time, we must let the villagers of Kirigakure live the life of the Land of Fire, and we can't let the villagers continue to fall into panic."

Biwa Juzo nodded, but what he thought of in his mind was the scene of the Hidden Rain Village, so he said: "I think it's better to let them live the life of the Hidden Rain Village, that's the real holy place of the ninja world.

"The Hidden Rain Village is the holy place of the ninja world? "

After hearing this, Zabuza showed a suspicious look and said to Biwa Juzo: "I don't know why you joined the Hidden Rain Village and what happened in the Hidden Rain Village."

"But as far as I know, the rule of Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village is more brutal than our Hidden Mist Village. The climate there is not suitable for human survival. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hell on earth."

Biwa Juzo shook his head:

"That was all in the past. Since the Akatsuki organization overthrew Hanzo and took over the Hidden Rain Village, the Rain Country has become different. Ninjas and ninjas are like family members, and there is not much gap between them and ordinary people."

"The relationship between ninjas is like family? Isn't that what Konoha promotes?"

Zabuza was dismissive of this and continued: "Can ninjas trained in such a greenhouse environment really accept the baptism of war? I'm afraid they will be weak on the battlefield. "

Biwa Juzo looked at Zabuza and explained:

"Of course, Akatsuki ninjas cannot fight as well as Kirigakure ninjas, but they do not need to undergo cruel tests, and they will not be abandoned due to lack of ability during the mission."

"In addition, Akatsuki has developed many new weapons, which are enough to make Genin have the strength of Chunin or even Anbu ninjas. They use chakra technology to make up for their own shortcomings. "

Faced with Biwa Juzo, the 'Akatsuki boaster', Zabuza didn't know what to say.

If the Akatsuki was really as powerful as Biwa Juzo said, would it still hide in the small Rain Country? It would have stood up to compete for the position of the five major ninja villages long ago.

As for Bai Ye's statement that he wanted the Hidden Mist Village to become a vassal of the Akatsuki, he naturally regarded it as a joke.

Of course, if Zabuza knew that the Akatsuki had already controlled the northern border of the Ninja World Continent and secretly controlled the Wind Country, he would probably have a different mentality.

However, after hearing about the way the Akatsuki got along internally, Zabuza was still a little envious.

During his time at the Ninja School, he also made a lot of friends, but they all died in the graduation examination, and it was he who killed them.

After retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Zabuza sighed towards Biwa Juzo:

"Okay, okay, just assume that what you said is true, but no matter how good the Akatsuki is, it has nothing to do with the Hidden Mist Village. We should still pay attention to our own affairs. "

"Didn't your Lord Byakuya ask you to assist me? At least during this period of time, you are still a Kirigakure Ninja."

This time it was Biwa Juzo's turn to be speechless. He really thought so.

...

After chatting for a while, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo left the hiding place and each began to prepare to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage.

Zabuza came to the residential area and quietly found his former comrades and subordinates.

When seeing Zabuza, these ninjas were stunned at first, then sighed softly, and asked about Zabuza's experience these days and why he wanted to assassinate the Mizukage, with a tone of regret.

After all, with Zabuza's talent, it is very easy to become the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

And the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are already high-level officials in the Hidden Mist Village. If they can survive for another ten years, they will have the opportunity to become candidates for the Mizukage. It will not be too late to consider becoming the Mizukage at that time.

Zabuza did not say anything nonsense, directly stated his suspicion of the Mizukage, and extended an invitation.

When they heard that the Fourth Mizukage had not left the Mizukage Building for many years, they might have been controlled by others, and they fell silent, then looked up at Zabuza and gave their own answers.

"Mr. Zabuza, what you said makes sense. We also doubt the identity of the Mizukage, but I'm sorry that we can't follow you to overthrow the Mizukage. This is a plan to die!"

This is what most ninjas said. They doubted the Fourth Mizukage and wanted to know the truth.

But it is impossible for them to risk their lives to follow Zabuza and overthrow the Fourth Mizukage. The Fourth Mizukage is not only the strongest ninja in the village, but also the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even if they know that the Fourth Mizukage is controlled, what can they do?

Can they plan to control the mastermind behind the Fourth Mizukage? Who can guarantee that the next Mizukage will not be controlled by a mysterious person?

However, they can't stop and relieve Zabuza.

Perhaps it is because they are extremely disappointed with the Fourth Mizukage, or perhaps they hope that a hero will appear and save them from the water and fire.

Only a very small number of people are willing to follow Zabuza and overthrow the Fourth Mizukage with Zabuza.

In one day and one night, Zabuza found more than a dozen ninjas who are capable of participating in this matter, but there are only two or three ninjas who agree to assassinate the Mizukage with Zabuza.

These two or three people are ninjas without any worries, or they only have the village as their worry.

These people are more than capable of assassinating the dignitaries of the great powers, but they have no chance of assassinating the Fourth Mizukage. After returning to the temporary base, Zabuza's will was depressed.

Zabuza began to doubt whether his plan could succeed this time, and whether he really needed Bai Ye's help.

At this time, Biwa Juzo also returned to the temporary base.

Zabuza looked at Biwa Juzo, and was a little curious about how many ninjas Biwa Juzo had won over, and asked: "Biwa Juzo, you are one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and there should be a lot of ninjas who responded to your call."

"How many jonins have you found in total, and how many people are willing to follow you."

Biwa Juzo shook his head, and then said: "I didn't find any jonin, I just followed the instructions of Lord Bai Ye to find the retired Yuanshi."

"Yuanshi?"

Hearing the title of Yuanshi After exhaling, Zabuza's face changed, and then he said: "Why are you looking for that old guy? He can hardly walk. Can he help us deal with the Fourth Mizukage?"

Biwa Juzo looked at Zabuza and suspected that Zabuza was a fool:

"With the support of the master, those wavering jonin in the village may not necessarily support us, but they will not become an obstacle to us. Do you really think that many ninjas will follow you?"

Biwa Juzo's words touched Zabuza's sore spot.

His appeal is indeed not comparable to that of the master. If he had received the support of the master, he might really be able to overthrow the Mizukage.

Thinking of this, Zabuza said stubbornly:

"That old guy is indeed still useful, but it has been so many years since the Fourth Mizukage issued the order for the Great Purge, and I haven't seen that old guy come forward to stop it."

"I suspect that the old guy deliberately wants to destroy the Hidden Mist Village...!"

Hearing this, Biwa Juzo also agreed with some of them. If the master had stood up earlier to stop the Fourth Mizukage, the village would not have been in such a situation now.

But on second thought, if the master really stood up, he would probably have been killed by the mastermind behind the scenes.

After a moment of silence, Biwa Juzang said, "I believe in Lord Bai Ye's judgment. If we can get Lord Yuanshi's support, this plan will definitely go much more smoothly."

Zabuza looked at Biwa Juzang and suddenly remembered something, saying, "We ask Lord Yuanshi for help, which should not be considered as accepting Bai Ye's help."

Biwa Juzang shook his head: "Of course not, Lord Bai Ye is not such a fussy person."

Zabuza nodded: "That's good, so that we don't have to argue with Bai Ye at that time. Let's wait for Yuanshi's reply while contacting other people."

...

In the elder's mansion.

After reading the scroll sent by Biwa Juzang, Yuanshi sighed softly and looked at the location of the Mizukage Building with melancholy in his eyes.

The content recorded in the scroll is not much, but the amount of information is very large.

It records in detail the policies issued by the Fourth Mizukage over the years, as well as the various doubts about the Fourth Mizukage, and finally gave the speculation that the Fourth Mizukage may have been controlled by illusion.

Faced with this speculation, Yuanshi did not deny it.

In fact, he had long suspected that something was wrong with the Fourth Mizukage. Since he became the Mizukage, the Fourth Mizukage rarely left the Mizukage Building and rarely came to visit him.

Before he became the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi always came to visit him for various reasons.

He also knew that Yagura Karatachi wanted to get his support so that he could gain a greater advantage in the election for the Mizukage.

However, he was very satisfied with Yagura Kujitsu, and believed that this young man could lead the village to glory.

But from some day on, Yagura Kujitsu stopped visiting him and began to issue incredible orders.

It was understandable that he stopped visiting him, because he was old.

After being used as a tool by the upper Mizukage, it was normal to abandon him. He was also happy and could really live a leisurely retirement life.

But the policies issued by Yagura Kujitsu were a bit too much.

Although the blood mist policy is the tradition of the Hidden Mist Village, the capriciousness of the blood family also shook the stability of the Hidden Mist Village.

Obviously, it only needs to support one blood family to suppress another blood family to ensure the authority of the Mizukage, but it has to deal with all the blood families and set off a big purge.

After several years of purges, the blood family in the village was cleaned up, and the Hidden Mist Village will no longer be threatened by the blood family, but the village has also been severely damaged, and it will take at least ten years to recover.

During this period, if other ninja villages took the opportunity to take action, it would be hard to say whether the Hidden Mist Village still existed.

As the policy continued, more and more senior ninjas came to him to complain, and he also protected many persecuted senior ninjas, and gradually began to doubt the Fourth Mizukage.

For example, was the Fourth Mizukage stimulated by something, so he issued such a cruel order.

Or, the Fourth Mizukage might be a spy from other ninja villages, so he issued these orders to weaken the Hidden Mist Village, or even said that the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by illusion.

But suspicion is suspicion, and he would not take action against the Mizukage before he had enough evidence.

First, it was because he promoted the Fourth Mizukage, and second, it was because the status of the Mizukage was supreme, although because of his seniority, his voice in the village was higher than that of the Mizukage.

But the power of the elders could not be higher than that of the Mizukage, and they could not lead people to overthrow the Mizukage.

Once he took action against the Mizukage, it would form a routine for the elders to interfere with the Mizukage, and the future of the Hidden Mist Village would be more chaotic than it is now, and enter a worse situation.

Therefore, even after reading the letter, he still couldn't convince himself to take action against the Fourth Mizukage.

At most, he could only take in some ninjas who were dissatisfied with the Mizukage and let them try to deal with the Mizukage, hoping that they could get close to the Fourth Mizukage and find out the secrets of the Mizukage.

Just as the master was making a decision secretly, the master suddenly picked up the scroll, and his eyes became solemn in an instant.

There seemed to be some text recorded in the interlayer of the scroll.

After opening the interlayer, the master took a deep breath, and his face became gloomy and uncertain. It was a piece of information that was more important than the control of the Mizukage, which recorded in detail the major events that had happened in Kirigakure over the years.

At the end of the information, there appeared a mark that had disappeared in the ninja world for many years.
