"Then, I wish you all the best."
Watergate chuckled. Empress Shōmei's idea was good, but it would be difficult to implement.
However, since his rebirth, Watergate believed that the world was unpredictable. Whether the girl in front of him could change the current situation of the Mist village was still unknown.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
"I have to go home." Empress Shōmei pondered for a while and said. She didn't want her parents to worry anymore.
"Okay." Watergate nodded. This was human nature, but he still stopped her. "It's better if you don't go home now. Wait until it's dark, I will send you back."
"Don't worry, I will be fine." Empress Shōmei knew that Watergate cared about her, so she smiled.
Watergate raised his eyebrows and said. "Not only to ensure your safety, but the later you go back, the later I will be exposed. I still have some things to investigate. After I send you home tonight, I will leave the Mist village."
Empress Shōmei frowned and said. "What you said, will it cause harm to the Mist village?"
Although she didn't guard against Watergate, after all, their identities were different and they belonged to different factions.
Empress Shōmei also felt stupid. Although the person in front of her was kind, he was also a spy. How could he tell her the truth?
Watergate saw her gloomy expression and said. "No, two months ago, one of my companions also came to the Mist village as a spy."
"Then I'm afraid that the Mist Ninjas would have already found and killed him …" Minato didn't even finish his words, Mei thought so in her heart.
"It's been so long, I'm afraid your companion has already …" Empress Shōmei looked at Watergate and whispered.
Although she didn't say it, the meaning behind her words was obvious.
"Ah, they should have been killed." Watergate's eyes darkened for a moment, but then his expression suddenly shook. He said, "Even so, I have to confirm his death. If he's not dead, I'll take him back to the village!"
Watergate's expression was also firm. Cherishing his companions had always been his unchanging belief.
For this, he had always struggled, and in fact, he had already changed part of history as we know it.
Empress Shōmei looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help but be startled.
In her impression, a ninja should be cold, and complete the task at all costs.
But the ninja in front of him wouldn't abandon his companions, and even risked exposing his identity and putting himself in danger to save him.
She had never seen such a ninja before … His actions didn't seem like a qualified ninja.
But in Empress Shōmei's mind, he is the best ninja she has ever seen!
"Since you can't tell me your name, I'll call you senpai for the time being." Empress Shōmei smiled.
"Of course, but what do you mean for the time being?" Watergate asked with a smile.
Empress Shōmei stared at him and said with a smile, "Because a ninja like you is definitely not what I see in front of me. I believe that one day, we will meet again, and at that time, when I see your real face and know your real name, of course, I will change the name."
Watergate chuckled. This little girl naturally doesn't have the ability to see through his disguise, but with her childish mind, plus she knows his identity as a spy, it's not surprising.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to stay here for the time being. There is some food there. I'll come back in the evening, and after dark, I'll take you home."
Minato said. So far, he has learned quite a lot of information, and now only the news of Konoha's spy ninja whose life and death is unknown.
Empress Shōmei nodded obediently. Watergate smiled and suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes.
With her current eyesight, she can't tell the difference between space-time Ninjutsu and Body Flicker Technique.
But after all, she isn't an ordinary child. She didn't care much about Watergate's sudden disappearance.
...
On the street of the Mist, Watergate walked slowly.
He planned to see how the Mist village will deal with last night's incident. After all, the Mist village was a big clan. Although the Third Mizukage is ruthless, it's impossible for him to abuse his power.
The Third Mizukage has to find a suitable excuse to explain the extermination of the Mist village.
Sure enough, after he walked on the street for nearly half an hour, a large number of Mist ninjas appeared on the street, telling the civilians to gather at the Mizukage building.
Following the crowd, Watergate came to the Mizukage building.
In front of the Mizukage building, a large number of Mist civilians gathered. In front of the building, a Mist ninja looked at the number of people and rushed out.
A few minutes later, on the Mizukage building, the Third Mizukage wearing a Mizukage hat slowly walked out.
At this time, behind him, there were several ninjas in their thirties or forties.
The Third Mizukage glanced at the civilians indifferently and slowly said: "I gathered you here so early in the morning because the first step of the reform I talked about yesterday has been completed."
After that, the Third Mizukage waved his hand. At the entrance of the Mizukage building, two Mist ninjas came out with a corpse.
The corpse was dressed as a Mist civilian, but on his neck, there was a forehead protector stained with blood.
Minato, who was in the front, looked sideways. When he saw the man's face and Konoha's forehead protector, the original calm expression in his eyes suddenly changed.
"Mitsuki-san!" Watergate's heart sank. The corpse in front of him was Wood Leaf's ninja who sneaked into the Mist village more than two months ago.
When the civilians saw the corpse, they retreated in horror, but in Watergate's heart, the anger couldn't be stopped.
"Third Mizukage, is this your trap?"
However, Watergate didn't show any anger on his face because there were many Mist ninjas around him.
Last night, he saved Empress Shōmei, and the Third Mizukage's plan was to blow Watergate out.
Watergate also pretended to be afraid, but in fact, he wanted to rush out and grab the corpse.
But he knew that he couldn't do that.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the Third Mizukage at the top of the Mizukage Building.
At this time, the latter smiled faintly and said: "The corpse in front of you is a spy sent by Konoha to the Mist Village. The Hozuki Clan and the Linghuan Clan colluded with Konoha and the two elders to launch a coup d 'état, but I detected them in advance. Last night, these two clans were eliminated by the village."
As soon as his voice fell, the civilians in the crowd below trembled.
Because the two clans mentioned by the Third Mizukage were the two most powerful clans in the village.
As for the two elders, they were of the same generation as the Second Mizukage.
They … actually betrayed the village and colluded with Wood Leaf?
But the corpse of Wood Leaf's spy was in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it.
Watergate narrowed his eyes.
This is the reason that the Third Mizukage used to accuse the Mist Village's leaders and the two clans of betraying the Mist Village …
Because no matter in which village, this is an unforgivable crime.
