Looking at the girl who looked similar to Shinna Kushina, Watergate's heart was warm.
She was very talented as a ninja, but she also had a naive side.
After all, as a member of the Mist Village, even if they weren't ninjas, they wouldn't hesitate to expose him as soon as they knew he was a spy.
Even if he saved her life, this is the deep-rooted estrangement between the major ninja countries.
Even people who grew up in an environment like Konoha had this idea, not to mention those who grew up in the Mist Village.
"Little girl, you are from the Mist Shōmei Clan, what is your name?" Watergate asked with a smile.
When the girl heard this, a sly smile appeared on her young face, just like a little fox.
"Is this part of your intelligence collection as a spy?"
Watergate was stunned, he didn't know how to answer.
However, the girl smiled again and said: "My name is Empress Shōmei, how do you know I am from the Shōmei Clan?"
"Good name." Watergate said slightly and said: "Last night, your clansmen went crazy looking for you in the entire Mist village, I think only the daughter of the patriarch can attract such attention."
"You are very smart, no wonder you can sneak into our village." Empress Shōmei said. But when she said that, both of them felt a little awkward.
She was praising a spy who may leak the information of the village.
"Although I know you won't tell me, I still want to ask, what is your name?" Empress Shōmei asked again.
Watergate smiled and shook his head, naturally, he couldn't tell her.
Terumi Mei didn't ask further. She was stunned for a moment. Her big eyes were filled with fear again.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Watergate deliberately interrupted her memories.
Empress Shōmei's body trembled, then she turned to look at Watergate and asked with a trembling voice: "Then …"
"They are all dead, no one left alive, you are the only one who escaped."
Watergate didn't need to go back to investigate at all, it was enough to make this conclusion.
Empress Shōmei seemed to have already known this outcome, but she still had a trace of fantasy in her heart.
Her big eyes were suddenly filled with mist, and sparkling tears condensed.
"Why … Could it be that just because of political differences, you want to exterminate someone else's entire family?" Terumi Mei sobbed.
Watergate was surprised, although he guessed that Empress Shōmei was the daughter of the Shōmei Clan, he didn't expect her to know something.
The overly sad Terumi Mei blurted out. She suddenly realized that there was still the "spy" Minato beside her. She immediately glanced at him.
Watergate looked very embarrassed at this time, he could only smile bitterly and said: "This is politics, it's not something you and I can control right now."
"Because of my playfulness, I harmed my own aunt and possibly my own family!"
Empress Shōmei's eyes were full of regret, if she didn't beg her mother to let her go out to play last night, she wouldn't have been involved in the destruction of her family.
Her aunt wouldn't have lost her life to protect her.
She didn't die, and what she saw might implicate the entire Shōmei Clan.
"That won't happen …" Shui Men by the side was aware of the worry in her heart and quickly said.
"Since the Third Mizukage used the Anbu of the Mist, it seems that in addition to the Shōmei Clan, other clans might have known about it in advance."
Killing a big clan in the Mist, it's impossible not to be noticed by other ninjas, but no one appeared there last night.
This means that the Third Mizukage must have notified other clans in advance, and these clans should have submitted to him.
This is the so-called tyrannical power, using blood and killing to make his subordinates fear the Mizukage and achieve the purpose of monopolizing power.
Watergate used to be the Fourth Naruto, but his approach was completely different from the Third Mizukage.
"You mean, my father already knew that the Shōmei Clan would …" Empress Shōmei's eyes widened.
Watergate nodded.
"So, the Shōmei Clan should be fine, after all, it's a big clan in the Mist, after the Third Mizukage cleaned up his political enemies, he still needs a lot of power to deter other ninjas, and your Shōmei Clan is an important chess piece …"
"But you …"
Watergate wanted to say something, but he didn't.
Empress Shōmei heard this and immediately said firmly: "Since you said that the Shōmei Clan is an important chess piece of the Third Mizukage, then … even if I saw the Mist Anbu kill my clan, he shouldn't kill me."
Watergate was surprised by her sudden statement. She was different from other girls her age.
She didn't say things like "my parents will protect me."
So he looked at Empress Shōmei and whispered: "How can you be sure?"
"It's not that I'm sure, but for the Mizukage-sama, I'm just a dispensable member of the Shōmei Clan, and he's too lazy to pay attention to me, that's all." Empress Shōmei's sad eyes gradually calmed down.
Watergate didn't comment on her thoughts, but he didn't completely agree with her.
However, at her age, she was able to think so much, he had to say that this girl has a political talent that ordinary ninjas don't have.
"So, do you agree with the Mizukage's approach?" Watergate asked tentatively. What was Empress Shōmei thinking now?
Empress Shōmei shook her head and said: "Mizukage-sama's method is too cruel for my companions, I can't agree with it."
"So, I have to rely on my own efforts to slowly change everything!"
She clenched her fists tightly, and in her eyes, there was a more unwavering emotion than an adult.
Watergate smiled. When he was Empress Shōmei's age, he also dreamed of becoming Naruto.
If becoming Naruto was his dream, then changing the current situation of the Mist was Empress Shōmei's dream.
Compared to Minato who lost his parents in an accident, Terumi Mei who saw the tragedy of the extermination of her family and experienced the edge of life and death, her thoughts matured faster.
There was no doubt that both of them were geniuses. However, it seemed that geniuses were only able to fully display their talents under certain adversity.
Perhaps this is the fate of geniuses.
