Minato's eyes met Terumi Mei's, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Of course, he wanted Empress Shōmei to leave because it was about her life.
However, Watergate knew that there were things more important than life in this world.
Empress Shōmei was born in the Mist Village. Even if it was her hometown, her family and her father were here.
Where could she go if she left the Mist Village?
Watergate had the same feeling when he used Shiki Fujin.
Abandoning the country, abandoning the village, and abandoning his child was no different.
"I understand. I respect your choice." Shui Men's eyes opened and closed as he spoke.
Empress Shōmei's young face suddenly smiled.
Watergate also smiled, then he turned his head and looked at her and said: "Matriarch Shōmei, I saved your daughter. I don't blame you if you want to kill me because I'm a spy for Wood Leaf. You have to do this for the sake of the village."
"However, this child's mother has sacrificed herself for the sake of the Mist and the Clan. You are the Matriarch and her father, I hope you can bear these two titles."
Mei, who was in the courtyard, heard this and her expression became even more complicated.
However, he didn't order to kill Watergate anymore because he knew that it was impossible.
"Watergate -san, if I can still live, the next time I see you, we will be enemies."
At this time, Terumi Mei, who was beside Minato, broke away from his support. She forcibly stood up and said with a firm expression.
Her dream was to change the situation of the village, but the premise was to protect it.
"I know."
Minato smiled. This reminded him of the Cloud Ninja Hachibi's Jinchuriki, Killer B, who he had fought against in the Third Shinobi World War.
Although they were in different camps, Watergate admired him very much. He was the same for Empress Shōmei.
Watergate's voice fell, and he instantly disappeared under the gaze of many Mist Anbu and Empress Shōmei.
"Take down the little girl!"
After Watergate left, the Mist Anbu locked onto Empress Shōmei, who couldn't support her body and sat down on the eaves.
"Stop them for me!"
But at the same time, Mei Tian's fierce voice came out again. Immediately, the two sides that had just become allies once again faced each other.
Terumi jumped and landed beside Empress Shōmei.
"Father, I …" Empress Shōmei's lips squirmed, her voice was weak, and she didn't know what to say.
"Don't say anything."
But Mei Tian gave her a smile. Although his face was a bit lofty at the moment, the warmth in his eyes could be seen at a glance.
Terumi Mei's originally chaotic state of mind suddenly calmed down. Like an injured deer, she softly said, "Yes."
"Terumi, you are protecting the person who destroyed Mizukage-sama's plan, aren't you afraid of losing your entire family?" At this time, the Mist Anbu's eyes were gloomy, and his voice was extremely angry.
"I am loyal to Mizukage-sama, but whoever dares to touch my daughter will have to make me fall forever!"
At this moment, Terumi's body exuded an extremely fierce aura, like a beast protecting its young.
That kind of crazy belief to protect a child, no parent can understand!
"What should we do now?"
Several Mist Anbu discussed with each other. If Terumi went crazy, they wouldn't be able to gain much.
"Let's ask Mizukage-sama first …" The Anbu who seemed to be the leader of the Anbu said.
"Yes!"
After he finished speaking, one of the members of the Dark Group formed a seal and mysteriously disappeared.
...
"A bunch of trash!"
After ten minutes, the Third Mizukage's angry voice came from the Mizukage's office.
The cup in his hand was suddenly crushed into pieces.
In front of him, the Anbu who reported the situation had a look of fear. He was afraid that the Third Mizukage would kill him out of anger.
The Third Mizukage's handsome face was twitching violently at this moment, but after all, he had been working for a long time, and his heart wasn't an ordinary person.
But when he gradually calmed down, his expression was extremely cold.
"Then we … How should we deal with the Terumi Clan, should we send more people to encircle and annihilate them?" The Mist Anbu asked again.
The Third Mizukage took a deep breath and then said: "Let's withdraw the Anbu first …"
The Anbu's expression flashed a little, obviously, he didn't understand the Third Mizukage's approach.
This was somewhat different from his usual decisiveness.
"Yes."
But of course, he didn't dare to question the Mizukage's decision, and then he returned to the Terumi Clan's courtyard.
The Third Mizukage's face was gloomy.
After a while, he turned and walked out of the Mizukage's office.
...
"This kid knows how to break the barrier!?"
Under the dark ground, the old man's shocked voice sounded again, and the Magatama in his scarlet eyes rotated, but he was even more shocked.
In front of him, the Third Mizukage didn't say a word, but there was anger and some fear in his eyes.
Although Watergate's approach was beyond the plan, but this time, the key to the plan's failure was the Mist Ninja.
"This time he escaped, next time, it will be more difficult to get rid of him."
The Third Mizukage said. This time, he regretted that he didn't do it himself, but who would have thought that a young ninja who lost his Chakra could escape from the encirclement of nearly a hundred ninjas.
"What did this kid do to provoke you? Why do you want to get rid of him?"
At the same time, the Third Mizukage was also puzzled, according to the character of the person in front of him, even if Watergate was from the Wood Leaf Clan, and his talent was amazing, he wouldn't target him so easily.
"This doesn't seem to be within the scope of our cooperation." The old man said and didn't answer him.
"Then let's talk about within the scope of cooperation, how should we deal with the Terumi Clan?" The Third Mizukage immediately changed the topic.
The old man heard this and smiled faintly, "You just eliminated the Ghost Lantern Clan and the Ghost Lantern Clan, which greatly reduced the power of the Mist Village. This time, if you eliminate the Terumi Clan, your position as the Third Mizukage will be quite dangerous."
The Terumi Clan was different from the other two clans. They relied on the Mizukage, but if they were eliminated because of their incompetence, it would cause panic among the other clans.
In fact, the Third Mizukage already had a plan in mind, but he wanted to test the old man's words first.
After all, the Terumi Clan's incompetence caused his plan to fail.
"What about Empress Shōmei …" The Third Mizukage asked again.
"A genius who awakened the Lava Release at the age of five, are you willing to kill her?" The old man said again.
"This girl, if I train her well, she will be a great help to me!" The Third Mizukage couldn't help but chuckle.
The Terumi Clan's Lava Release hadn't been awakened for three generations.
At this time, Terumi Mei awakened Lava Release at the age of five. Plus, she was very young. Through some means, he can train her as his subordinate. She will definitely be a powerful trump card.
This way, he will be able to control the Terumi Clan more firmly.
"However, that little girl was saved by Minato Watergate, how you train her is your business, I just hope that you won't make me doubt that cooperating with you is a mistake."
The old man said. He had no interest in Empress Shōmei's life or death.
Because whether it was Empress Shōmei or the Third Mizukage, they were just his pawns.
"What about the white guy?" When the Third Mizukage left, he didn't see the strange guy who always stayed beside the old man.
In the darkness, the old man's face twitched slightly.
Because in his eyes, this kid was like an ant, and he repeatedly destroyed his plans.
As the Third Mizukage asked before, the real reason why he wanted to kill Minato Watergate wasn't because of his talent or the Flying Thunder God.
It was because during the Second Shinobi World War, his plan to weaken the power of Wood Leaf was destroyed because of the appearance of Watergate.
The leader of Wood Leaf's roots, Danzo, coveted Naruto's position, and because he wanted to weaken the power of Sandaime Naruto, he told the information about Wood Leaf's forces to the Sand, but he didn't expect that the Sandaime's disciple was so strong that he could compete with Hanzo.
The second information leak was White Zetsu's doing, of course, it was also the old man's idea.
He didn't want to attract the attention of the major Shinobi countries at this time, but with Danzo's previous actions, he could only break his teeth and swallow his anger.
Danzo wouldn't tell Sandaime Naruto about this, so naturally, Sandaime Naruto would only suspect him.
But what he didn't expect was that the reinforcements that were supposed to be wiped out failed because of Watergate's summoning of Bunta.
After that, Wood Leaf's momentum rose again, and he attacked the Wind Country in one fell swoop.
It was this Watergate again, because of him, the war that could have lasted for a long time, and even ended with the defeat of Wood Leaf, ended with the defeat of the Sand in just over half a year.
In this way, his plan to secretly weaken Wood Leaf was completely destroyed by Watergate.
This touched the old man's bottom line.
Because he knew that he couldn't complete the plan with his remaining lifespan, so … he took so much effort to arrange it.
"Hashirama, you're dead, but you still left some obstacles for me …"
In the darkness, the old man sighed. In this world, the only man who could play with him was dead. Although he was old and weak, he still didn't put the ninja world in his eyes.
In his eyes, all the ninja countries and villages were just his chessboard.
And all the ninjas were chess pieces on his chessboard.
The only person who could play with him was dead, and now he could only manipulate the chessboard in the dark.
No matter how powerful the chess pieces were, they were still chess pieces in his eyes.
