Mei Teru put away the acid and acid mist.
Yumi Hinata put away the Shadow Clones that were holding everyone hostage, but this place, except for the small piece of land under Mei Teru's feet,
They had already been corroded to the point of being full of holes.
Even the trees were gone.
Some places were still sizzling with smoke.
Yumi Hinata reluctantly picked a piece of land to stand on.
The two sides stood facing each other.
Mei Teru saw it clearly.
Although the number of people was 1: 5, judging from the situation of the fight just now,
It might be the other way around. Indeed, she had long heard that Yumi Hinata was known as the strongest Byakugan, a rare genius, and so on. But she retired at a young age, and when she appeared in front of everyone again, she killed the head of the family and defected.
How did her strength improve so quickly, and she even learned the unique skill of Yondaime Hokage. It was as if she didn't retire for five years, but rather trained hard at home for five years.
Probably when the heavens distributed the talents of the world, they didn't think about fairness.
Some people were more favored than others.
Every nook and cranny was exquisitely crafted. Mei Teru herself was also a talented person, so she naturally knew how big the gap between people was.
She stopped thinking about this problem and asked straightforwardly, "What are you doing in the Land of Water?!"
This tone was very murderous. But Yumi Hinata didn't mind. She was a rebellious ninja who broke into other people's country. This was right. Regardless of the comparison of strength,
If she didn't even have this kind of treatment, then the Land of Water would really be a country.
"I'm here to kill someone." Yumi Hinata said.
"A person named Uchiha Zetsu."
Mei Teru's expression didn't change.
Only a pair of green pupils shrank sharply.
It seemed that her heart was not calm.
Yumi Hinata saw it, and she began to think it was interesting. "Interesting, you know him." Was the Land of Water really Uchiha Zetsu's nest? She secretly encouraged Chakra. If these people were also Uchiha Zetsu's subordinates, she did not intend to be polite.
"No, I've never seen him before," Mei Teru said. "This is the first time I've even heard of his name."
Before investigating the Mizukage's Anbu, Ao first solved the Genjutsu of the Fourth Mizukage, but he was suffering from the erosion of the Genjutsu and didn't wake up for a while. While Shallow Marsh continued to treat him, Qing went through the entire Dark Group and quickly found a suspect called Hoodlum.
This Hoodlum, there were people in the dark department who knew of his existence, but no one knew his exact identity. Whether it was the assigned dormitory or the changing room, there were no personal belongings of his. At the same time, there were no traces left behind. There was no hair, no dandruff, no bloodstains, and no one had seen his face.
But with such an obvious abnormality, it was not until Qing pointed it out that the other members of the Dark Group felt something was wrong. Before that, they had been ignoring all kinds of suspicious points.
When Hoodlum appeared, no one knew. Even the registration book of the Dark Group did not have this person.
Qing was about to continue the investigation when Shallow Marsh sent a message: The Mizukage Yagura woke up.
"He is still very weak, both mentally and physically. Don't let him talk too much, and don't let him get too emotional." Shallow Marsh told Mei Teru and Qing who had received the news. "Whether he can recover his health and strength in the future, it's hard to say."
Mei Teru suddenly grabbed Shallow Marsh's neck and pressed him against the wall, close to him and said in a dangerous tone: "Him? You should call him Mizukage-sama. "
Shallow Marsh's face didn't change: "A Mizukage who has been manipulated by Genjutsu for five years."
Mei Teru's Chakra suddenly broke out, and Qing had already grabbed her other arm: "Mizukage-sama!" He lowered his voice: "Kirin can't afford any loss." And Shallow Marsh is definitely one of the few medical ninjas in Kirin, and his existence even has strategic significance.
Mei Teru was silent for a moment, and finally let go of Shallow Marsh from the wall. In fact, she knew that Shallow Marsh not only has no disloyalty, but also is one of Kirin's most loyal ninja. He can appear here because Mei Teru trusts him.
His younger brother failed the genin exam and was killed by his peers, which made him the most determined reformist. They hope to change the traditions of the Blood Mist, and Mei Teru is the leader of the reformist party.
Mei Teru said: "I hope you can reflect on your words and deeds today."
In any case, Shallow Marsh was always convinced by Mei Teru. He adjusted his collar, obediently bowed, and then straightened his back and walked away without any reflection.
What can Mei Teru do? She can't let her subordinate be punished for what he said.
In the bedroom, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his usual weapon in his hand, a long staff, and he has changed into his usual ninja outfit. Except for his blue face, there was almost no difference between him and the past.
The two knelt down together.
"Get up." Yagura said, "Shallow Marsh is right. As a Kage of the village, being weak is a sin, and it is the biggest sin. "
Mei Teru had to kneel down again to apologize for her subordinate.
Yagura shook his head: "I don't mean to blame him. Shallow Marsh is a great medical ninja, and he is Kirin's precious treasure, and I am just a useless failure. "
Ao couldn't help but take a step forward: "Mizukage-sama!"
He is different from Mei Teru. Mei Teru respects the Mizukage because she is loyal to Kirin, so no matter who the Mizukage is, she will respect him. Even if her actions in the past few years can be regarded as perverse, she just tried her best to deal with him within the scope of her ability, and never thought of anything else.
However, Ao was different. Although he was ten years older than Yagura, during the Third World War, Yagura was responsible for protecting the intelligence unit. The two of them were friends and comrades-in-arms. He knew what kind of person Yagura was before he became the Mizukage.
Since he was manipulated in the past few years, then he has never changed. Even if Ao was a victim of exile for several years, he can't bear to hear him say that about himself.
"In the past few years, although I can't control myself, there are times when I am sober," Yagura nodded to Mei Teru: "Ming, I have seen what you have done, and I know your strength."
Mei Teru suddenly understood what he wanted to do, and she interrupted: "Mizukage-sama, the most important thing now is to find the person behind the scenes!"
Yagura was silent for a moment: "Alright, then let's deal with this matter first."
Yagura: "This person calls himself Uchiha Macula, and he did all this not because of Konoha's order, but to retaliate against my Sensei, Michikawa Sensei, who was the commander-in-chief of the front line during the Third Shinobi World War."
Mei Teru and Ao were stunned. How is this not Konoha's conspiracy, but the personal behavior of an Uchiha? What is the use of Konoha? Can't you control the people in your village?
Who is Michikawa?
Michikawa is the one who proposed to Kirin when he couldn't find a suitable Konoha's Jinchuriki, "Why don't we change our way of thinking? Anyway, the Sanbi will be sent to Konoha's battlefield, so why don't we find a way to send it directly to Konoha?"
It was also because of this decision that his reputation was destroyed in an instant.
Even today, some people still mention that if he tried a few more times at that time, it would have been Yagura's turn to try to become a Jinchuriki. Although he was still young at that time, and he may not be able to become a perfect Jinchuriki immediately, he should have no problem controlling the Sanbi.
However, it's useless to say anything now. The fact is that Michikawa's decision caused the Mist to lose the Sanbi and suffered heavy casualties. The situation on the battlefield worsened, and it directly led to the final defeat.
What kind of life has Yagura been living in the past few years? Most of the time, he is muddle-headed. Everything he says and does is controlled by the "Uchiha Macula". He only follows his orders, no different from a marionette. When the "Uchiha Macula" is not around, he will order Yagura to live in seclusion and not see anyone unless necessary.
Sometimes, he will wake up from the chaos, as if he has just woken up from a nightmare. Although he is conscious and can perceive the outside world, he still can't control his body. The "Uchiha Macula" has always treated him like a piece of wood, a table, and even if he is not around, he will never communicate with him. Only occasionally, the "Uchiha Macula" will go crazy, shouting things like "It's all because of you Kirino", "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for using the Sanbi to kill her", and so on.
Although Yagura has only heard it a few times, he can infer something. At least, the man who calls himself "Uchiha Macula" in front of some people in the village is definitely not the real Uchiha Macula.
"He should be a Konoha ninja from the Third World War." Yagura said, "Find a way to collect information about Konoha who died during the Third World War or Uchiha who didn't return to the village for a long time. You should be able to find out the identity and origin of this person."
"But now, I suspect that he is still in the Water Country."
Because of this sentence, Mei Teru led Ao, who is good at tracking, and other subordinates to follow the remaining Chakra on Yagura's body all the way to Yumi Hinata.
Before leaving, Yagura asked Mei Teru to stay alone: "You should be mentally prepared for what I have to say."
Terumi Mei said: "Yes, but I don't think my strength is enough to take on this responsibility, and since you are now awake, as you can fully control the power of the Sanbi, you are still the strongest person in the village."
"Yes, Sanbi …" Yagura was a little lost for a moment. A Sanbi has changed the fate of many people. He coughed twice: "The only thing I can do now is to continue to control the Sanbi's power for the village."
"But that's not enough." Yagura said, "The times have changed, a Bijuu can no longer control the situation of a village or a country, and the current cruel system will only continue to hurt the ninjas in the village. The Mist village must change. This is what I wanted to do before I became the Mizukage."
Yagura closed his eyes and opened them again: "Now, this heavy responsibility will be handed over to you."
Mei Teru still insisted: "As the Fourth Mizukage-sama, you can now implement this policy."
"No." Yagura let out a long sigh, his youthful face showed the vicissitudes of life, and his amethyst-like eyes dimmed: "If the matter of me being controlled is made public, Kirin will become the laughing stock of all countries, and the Mizukage's deterrence to other villages will disappear. Especially Konoha, if they know that Uchiha's Genjutsu can control me and the Sanbi at the same time, what do you think they will do?"
Yagura said: "If I keep this a secret, then I'm just a two-faced person who goes back on his words. I won't be able to win the trust of the Reformist Party, and I won't be able to continue to command the Conservatives. When you become the Mizukage, you must completely deny me, defeat me, eliminate all the influence I have left behind, judge me for the mistakes I have made, put me in prison, but for the sake of the Sanbi, you must let me live for the time being. In short, you have to let everyone recognize you and the Mist Village's determination to change. "
Mei Teru bowed her head and pondered for a while. She stood up from the ground and looked down at the short Mizukage: "Please allow me to refuse. Mizukage-sama, you have only seen me and Ao after you woke up. This decision is too rash. Please meet more of your companions and choose a suitable candidate from among them. If you still think that I can take this responsibility, then I will not refuse. "
"But since the Mist wants to change, the first thing to change is to sacrifice innocent people for the so-called 'righteousness'. What you have done before is the fault of the Genjutsu manipulator. Since you said that you will be judged, then there is no law or precedent to make the victims of Genjutsu bear the responsibility, so you are not wrong. "
"If I become the Mizukage, I will only take the title and honor from you. This will be a normal succession, and you will also become the Elder of Kirin."
Mei Teru finished and bowed: "I will gather people to track Uchiha."
Behind her, Yagura sighed with disappointment. On the one hand, no matter how strong she was, she was still a 20-year-old girl. Even the cruel life of a ninja couldn't change her youthful innocence and feminine gentleness. But on the other hand, for the Mist Village that was now riddled with holes, and for the Ninjas in the village who were physically and mentally exhausted, perhaps such a kage was the most suitable for them.
"Hey," Yumi Hinata waved her hand, "Since you have never heard of this name, why do you have such a big reaction?" If you don't explain clearly, I can't be sure whether you are Zetsu's accomplice.
At the same time, Mei Teru was also thinking about Yumi Hinata's words. Did Konoha really betray Konoha? She said that she is chasing Uchiha Zetsu. Is this Uchiha Zetsu the one who calls himself "Uchiha Macula"? Is what she said credible? She can't be Uchiha's accomplice, can she?
According to the normal procedure, Mei Teru should take Yumi Hinata down and interrogate her. The only problem with this procedure is that she is not strong enough to do it.
Mei Teru doubted that no one can do it, let alone Kirin. Even Konoha hasn't caught this traitor yet.
Yumi Hinata urged: "Say something."
Mei Teru pondered for a moment. She couldn't tell the truth. The matter of Uchiha controlling the Mizukage must be kept secret, at least at this stage. She said: "We are also tracking an Uchiha. He committed a serious crime in Kirin, but his whereabouts are mysterious. We don't know if he is the Uchiha Zetsu you mentioned."
Yumi Hinata thought for a moment: "Uchiha Macula?" She looked at Mei Teru's reaction and smiled: "It seems that we are looking for the same person."
One of the advantages of Yumi Hinata is that when she has the advantage, she is not stingy with being honest. Her definition of losing face is also different from other people. She doesn't mind mentioning her failure at all.
After staying here for a few days without catching Uchiha Obito, she was already a little impatient. Now, these people came to her door. If their enemy is also Uchiha Obito, then everyone can cooperate and leave the search of the Land of Water to them, so that Hyuga Yuumi won't be familiar with this place and won't be efficient.
"Come on, in order to gain your trust, let me tell you about Uchiha Zetsu and his dream."
Of course, she has no enmity with the entire Uchiha Clan, so she won't reveal the secrets of the Uchiha Clan and the Sharingan. But she did tell them about Uchiha Zetsu's plan to put the whole world to sleep through Genjutsu.
To Yumi Hinata's surprise, although Mei Teru was shocked, she didn't think that Genjutsu was unbelievable. The first thing she caught was: "Uchiha Zetsu should have died in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge during the Third World War?"
Yumi Hinata nodded.
Mei Teru frowned. The Battle of Kannabi Bridge was fought between Konoha and the Rock. Why did Uchiha Zetsu want to take revenge on Kirino?
"He and …" Mei Teru recalled the file that she specially checked before leaving. What was the name of the Konoha Ninja who was captured by Kirino to seal the Sanbi?
"What's the relationship between him and Rin Nohara?"
Yumi Hinata said: "They are teammates."
Mei Teru understood.
Yumi Hinata also understood: "It seems that he really did turn the Mist Village upside down."
Mei Teru's second point was: "Since Uchiha Zetsu and his companions can hurt you, why did you chase him alone?"
"It's because he can, that's why I want to kill him. And he had the idea. "Yumi Hinata said softly," Anyone who tries to control me must die. "
Mei Teru was speechless for a while.
Yumi Hinata smiled again: "Don't be nervous, I know you must have thought about it. Since you have the Byakugan, as long as you get the spell, you can control all the Yasuji, including me, right? Since you just thought about it and didn't do anything, I'll let you go this time. "
Yumi Hinata said: "I'm not interested in taking back the Byakugan for Hinata Zongjia, you can keep it. However, mastering the Caged Bird incantation is not allowed. Anyone who has mastered this incantation, regardless of whether they have done anything or even planned to do anything, I will not let them go. "Her voice gradually became tinged with a dangerous tone." I advise you not to be impulsive. "
Yumi Hinata's Chakra suddenly burst out of her body and immediately retracted. Except for Mei Teru, the others all pulled out their kunai and were on guard. Even Ao, who was forced unconscious by Chakra, moved subconsciously.
Mei Teru's expression was cold. She waved her hand without looking back, signalling the others to put away their weapons. It was obvious that the strength of both sides was more brutal than she thought. This Yumi Hinata was not just relying on Thor.
"I won't do anything." Yumi Hinata laughed again: "Since we are all going to catch Uchiha Zetsu, why don't we work together, while he is still injured …"
Yumi Hinata was halfway through her sentence when her head buzzed. The severe pain quickly subsided, as if her brain was about to fly out of her skull and was forcibly pressed back in. She held her forehead and smiled: it seemed that her Caged Bird reverse seal was completely successful. It could even resist the lethal Caged Bird.
Behind Mei Teru and the others, Ao, who was lying flat on the ground, made a mudra with his right hand and stared at Yumi Hinata. The left side of his face was dark, and the right side of his face, centered around the Byakugan, was bulging with blue veins.
"… The harvest this time is not small." Yumi Hinata said. She made a mudra with both hands: "Water Release: Water Prison Technique modified."
Five huge water balls rose from the ground and shrouded Mei and the other four people in front of her.
