Chapter 341: Battle of the Hidden Mist Village

"There are frequent movements of people at Yuanshi? Do you suspect that they want to take action against me?"

After hearing this, Obito frowned, looked at the location of the elder's mansion, and then smiled.

He didn't think that Genshi and the mob under him could pose much of a threat to him. Although Genshi was highly respected in Kirigakure Village, the ninja world was a place that valued strength after all.

The Yuan Master decades ago may have had strength comparable to that of the Five Shadows, but how much can it be used now?

Not all ninjas are like the Third Hokage of Konoha, who can still fight the Nine-Tails hand-to-hand despite being in their fifties or sixties.

As for the ragtag group of people under Genshi, Obito didn't even pay attention.

In Obito's opinion, Terumi Mei, who had double blood inheritance limits, was quite average. The only one he feared was the jounin Ao who had his Byakugan transplanted.

At this time, Kisame said:

"Yondaime-sama, the situation this time is a little different from before. This group of people seems to have begun to doubt your identity, and according to the information I obtained, Zabuza and Loquat Juzo, who defected from the village, seem to have sneaked into the village quietly."

"Zabuza and Loquat Juzo infiltrated the village?"

Obito's expression changed, and he asked in a solemn tone: "Are you sure that Zabuza and Loquat Juuzou sneaked into Kirigakure Village? Did your men see them with their own eyes?"

Kisame nodded. As a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he was very well-informed.

He even received an invitation from Zabuza, inviting him to deal with the Fourth Mizukage together, but he sternly refused.

Obito knew that Kisame would not lie, but he still expressed doubts.

After getting the accurate answer, Obito was silent for a few seconds, and his face became ugly.

As the supreme Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, Obito knew all the Jonin in the village, especially celebrities like Zabuza and Loquat Juzo.

Zabuza was a young Jonin with great potential in the village, and not long ago he carried out an assassination attempt on Mizukage.

Although that assassination did not hurt Goju Yagura, it also loosened his control over Goju Yagura, and almost made Goju Yagura wake up.

After the assassination failed, he sent people to hunt down Zabuza many times.

But those incompetent Anbu were no match for Zabuza, and Zabuza escaped in various ways.

Loquat Juuzang didn't have much of a conflict with him. After his protest was ineffective, Loquat Juuzang voluntarily left the village and became a rebel ninja who was not wanted.

But the problem is, this guy Juuzo Bai became a rebel nin and joined the Akatsuki organization.

Theoretically speaking, the other party is the same as himself and is a member of the Akatsuki organization. Since everyone has the same goal, why does Loquat Juzo get mixed up with Zabuza?

After thinking for a moment, Obito's expression became even more uncertain.

He began to doubt the purpose of Loquat Juuzou and Zabuza mixing together, and began to doubt the mastermind behind this operation. Could it be Byakuya who had done this familiar recipe and taste again?

Let's forget about trying to snatch control of the Uchiha clan from him.

It was a fair competition for everyone. The Uchiha Itachi that he had trained could not compare to Uchiha Shisui because he was not as skilled as others, so he accepted it.

But Kirigakure Village has been his territory a long time ago, and he is just waiting for the time to harvest the three-tailed jinchūriki and the six-tailed jinchūriki. Now that he has reached this point, do he still want to compete with himself for the credit?

Kisame saw Obito's silence in his eyes, and after a while he asked, "Yondaime-sama, should we attack them in advance?"

Obito, who was brought back to reality, shook his head slightly:

"Don't worry about them for the time being. I'll also see what kind of efforts they will make in order to overthrow the Yondaime's rule. Facing a powerful enemy like the Yondaime Mizukage, they should put aside their prejudices and work together."

Kisame was a little confused, but still asked: "Then what should we do next? Just watch them attack Gotachibana Yagura?"

"Of course not..." Obito looked at Kisame, and then said: "How did the mission I gave you last time go? Did you find Yugao's specific location?"

Kisame nodded and said, "Hugao is hiding his identity and staying on the Insect Island."

"Insect Island? It's time to go and see Yu Gao..."

Obito nodded slightly, then seemed to remember something, and said to Kisame:

"By the way, one more thing. We can leave Kirigakure Village soon. From now on, I will no longer be the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. It would be better for you to call me Uchiha Madara."

Hearing this, Kisame was slightly startled and looked up at Obito.

Does Obito mean to give up on Kirigakure Village? But why give up Kirigakure Village? Although Kirigakure Village is very weak right now, it is still one of the five great ninja villages.

There is still a lot of help in realizing the Eye of the Moon plan, so there is no need to give up now.

However, despite the doubts in his heart, Kisame still carried out Obito's orders honestly. He was not a smart ninja, so there was no need to figure out the orders of his superiors.

Anyway, no matter how much I think about it, I can't get the answer, so I still carry out the task honestly.

Obito noticed Kisame's expression and felt a sense of relief in his heart. Kisame was his harvest in Kirigakure Village after the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, and he was also his right-hand man.

In comparison, Uchiha Itachi is much more cunning.

Even though he agreed to become his subordinate, he had been secretly collecting his information and trying to find a way to send it to the Konoha Ninja Village. But Uchiha Itachi would never know that he was just his pawn.

The Uchiha Shisui who replaced Danzo in Konoha Ninja Village was just another person's pawn.

And this time, he and Bai Ye will start a new round of competition in Kirigakure Village. This time he will not lose again. Even if he gives up Kirigakure Village, he will let his men defeat Byakuya's men.

…

Time flies by, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Within a week, Zabuza and Loquat Juuzang gathered more than twenty ninjas who were willing to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage. These ninjas were all victims of the blood mist policy and were full of hatred for the Fourth Mizukage.

He believes that only by overthrowing the rule of the Fourth Mizukage and sending the Fourth Mizukage to the guillotine can Kirigakure Village be saved and become even greater.

Zabuza was very satisfied to be able to gather so many like-minded ninjas.

Not because the joining of this group of ninjas can increase the success rate of the plan to overthrow the Mizukage, but because there are so many people who support his idea and are willing to join him.

The proud Zabuza glanced across the crowd and finally landed on Loquat Juzo.

The difference from the previous few days was that he could feel the resonance between Loquat Juuzang and himself. Loquat Juuzang really hoped that he could succeed and successfully overthrow the tyranny of the Fourth Mizukage.

After taking a deep breath, Zabuza explained to everyone the time when the plan would be launched.

The time to attack the Mizukage Building is tonight at four o'clock in the morning. This is the time when the ANBU and the guards are most tired, and the probability of success will be greatly increased.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was four o'clock in the morning.

Facing the breeze blowing from the sea, a heavy fog enveloped the entire Kirigakure Village. With the fog, Zabuza and others quickly approached the Mizukage Building.

As Zabuza expected, all the guards in the Mizukage Building were dozing off, so now was the best time to take action.

After giving the order to try not to kill anyone, Zabuza sneaked into the Mizukage Building.

When the ninja guard Anbu on duty noticed something was wrong around him, he was knocked down by a group of ninjas and stuffed into a sack.

Kirigakure Anbu, who was hiding in the dark, noticed the abnormality and was knocked down just as he was about to speak.

In front of Zabuza, an old ANBU man, ordinary ANBU ninjas were no match at all. After a few back and forth, the defense force of the Mizukage Building was completely wiped out.

Zabuza, instead of feeling happy after defeating the guards so easily, became even more solemn.

The guard strength of the Mizukage Building should not be so weak when he came here. Compared with the last time he came here, it was reduced a lot.

This made him, who was already prepared for a quick victory, feel that something was wrong.

Could it be because of the help from Yuanshi this time? Yuanshi has been retired for so many years, but he can still affect the deployment of the Mizukage Building. He really underestimated the influence of the old guy.

Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Zabuza led his men to the end of the corridor.

As long as he opens the door in front of him, he will be able to see the Fourth Mizukage. The last time he just saw the Fourth Mizukage, he was surrounded by the Fourth Mizukage and Anbu. He doesn't know what the probability of success is this time. .

After knocking on the door of Mizukage's office, Zabuza and Loquat Juzo stood on either side of the door, ready to attack at any time.

At this time, the gentle voice of the Fourth Mizukage came from the office:

"It's so late. Who came to see me? Do you have anything important to report? The door is unlocked. Just come in."

Upon hearing this, Zabuza opened the office door directly.

Zabuza walked directly to the Fourth Mizukage, and Loquat Juzo and other ninjas also entered the Mizukage's office.

After seeing Zabuza and Loquat Juzo entering his office, the Fourth Mizukage was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Isn't this the traitorous ninja Zabuza in the village? You came here to assassinate me again this time. Didn't the lesson I gave you last time not enough? And Juuzou-senpai, you are an old man in the village. Do you have to fight with Zabuza? Are these traitors mixed together?"

Loquat Juzo glanced at the Fourth Mizukage, and then said:

"I don't want to take action against Mizukage, but what you have done over the years is not what a Mizukage should do. For the sake of Kirigakure Village, I can only join forces with Zabuza to take action against you."

The Fourth Mizukage sighed softly:

"Even Senior Juuzang couldn't understand my intentions. Is the policy I promulgated really wrong? But I did something that no previous Mizukage could do. I solved the blood successor family in the village, and the village will never be able to do it again." There will be no civil strife due to conflicts between blood successor ninjas and ordinary ninjas."

Zabuza couldn't listen anymore, he pulled out the sword behind him, pointed at the Fourth Mizukage and said:

"Stop talking nonsense. We suspect that you are not the Mizukage at all, but another ninja pretending to be the one. The real Fourth Mizukage is not someone like you at all!"

Before he finished speaking, Zabuza raised his sword and rushed towards the Fourth Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage picked up the green leaf scepter placed on the ground, gently raised his arm to block the sword's strike, then sighed and said:

"I really don't want to attack the ninjas in the village, but since they all have knives at their necks, we can only reduce the number of the seven ninja swordsmen."

After saying that, the Fourth Mizukage waved his scepter. The seemingly light scepter contained huge power. Just a casual smash made Zabuza's mouth numb and the ground dented.

Seeing that Zabuza was at a disadvantage, Loquat Juzo also took action.

After performing the instant body technique, Biwa Juzo came behind the Fourth Mizukage, pointed the beheading sword at the Fourth Mizukage's neck, and the sharp blade quickly hit the Fourth Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage who was hit turned into a ball of water, and then quickly pulled away, and whispered: "Water escape·Water mirror technique!"

In an instant, a water mirror condensed into shape.

The water clone copied the movements of Zabuza and Biwa Juzo, rushed out of the water and rushed towards the two of them, even the movements and strength were exactly the same.

After the real body and the water clone collided, Zabuza and Biwa Juzo's faces changed.

The water mirror technique just now was the famous secret technique of the Fourth Mizukage. It can copy the enemy's movements and ninjutsu, and it is one of the strongest ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Village.

The Fourth Mizukage once relied on this secret technique to kill several senior ninjas in the Ninja World War.

However, this secret technique is not without flaws. As long as you hide in a place without light or blurred vision, the water mirror technique will automatically fail.

Zabuza, who was proficient in assassination, quickly performed the Mist Hidden Technique, causing the Mist Hidden Village to converge towards the Mizukage Building, limiting the surrounding line of sight to within two meters.

Facing the Mist Hidden Technique performed by Zabuza, the Fourth Mizukage's face changed, and he stepped back a few steps, smashed the window and left the Mizukage's office. He didn't want to face an enemy proficient in assassination in a narrow place.

After landing accurately on the ground, the Fourth Mizukage made seals with both hands and whispered: "Wind Style: Typhoon Passes!"

I saw a strong wind rising from the flat ground, which blew away the surrounding fog with an unstoppable force, leaving only the Fourth Mizukage on the open ground and Zabuza and others who came to surround him.

Facing this group of ninjas who intended to assassinate him, the Fourth Mizukage chuckled and said, "You don't really think you can defeat me, do you? Since you can't be my opponent even if you come together?!"

As he said that, the Fourth Mizukage began to call on the Three-Tails Chakra and entered the state of Tailed Beast.

Dark red chakra covered the whole body of the Fourth Mizukage, and three slender tails appeared behind him. He stared at Zabuza and Biwa Juzo, but a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, the Fourth Mizukage's eyes returned to indifference, and his body disappeared instantly.

The state of Tailed Beast can provide him with speed, strength, defense, and chakra. If he could still fail before entering the Tailed Beast, he would not fail after entering the Tailed Beast.

This is the gap between the Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and it is also the confidence of the Fourth Mizukage to become the Mizukage.
