Konoha Tatsuno

Water Shadow Building.

A thin figure slowly walked out of the door, carrying a large sword as tall as a person on his back.

This man is about 27 or [-] years old, with short black hair, a large cross scar on the right side of his face, and his ears and neck are wrapped in bandages.

This person is none other than Loquat Juzo, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village.

During the Third Ninja War, he was one of the three people among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who managed to survive.

On the opposite side, a man with the same build and thin body, with the lower half of his face and neck wrapped in bandages, walked towards him.

The man looked younger, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, but his whole body was filled with an aura of iron-blooded bravery.

Momochi Zabuza, the fastest rising genius ninja in Kirigakure Village in recent years, a member of Kirigakure Village's ANBU, is good at water escape ninjutsu and assassination techniques.

"senior"

The two met head-on, and Mochi Zabuza bowed slightly to Loquat Juzo.

"Um"

Loquat Juuzang responded coldly and strode away.

The two people passed each other, and Mochi Zabuza stood on the spot, quietly watching Loquat Juzo's figure gradually go away.

Zabuza stood there quietly for a long time before turning around and entering the Mizukage Building.

In the Mizukage's office, the fourth Mizukage, Tachibana Yagura, sat quietly with a dull expression.

tuk tuk tuk~

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in"

Goji Yagura said coldly.

The door opened and Zabuza walked in.

Looking at the dull-looking Fourth Mizukage behind the desk, Zabuza's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.

"Lord Mizukage, Zabuza is here to revive you."

Zabuza bowed to Gotachibana Yagura.

"Have the spies in Konoha been eliminated?"

Goju Yagura raised his head and looked at Zabuza expressionlessly.

"Already dealt with"

Zabuza lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Okay! Then go down."

Goji Yagura nodded and said coldly.

"Yes"

Zabuza bowed his body and retreated.

Walking out of the Mizukage's office, Zabuza sighed inwardly.

The Fourth Mizukage who once dared to change and had the greatest hope of pulling Kirigakure Village out of the quagmire is really gone.

The change was so sudden!

Perhaps, the rumor circulating in the village might be true.

The Fourth Mizukage was secretly controlled by someone using illusions.

As a perfect Jinchuuriki, the Fourth Mizukage can actually be controlled by illusions!

Although this sounded like a joke, Zabuza was more willing to believe it was the truth.

As a former admirer and follower of the Fourth Mizukage, Zabuza would not allow such mistakes to continue.

Thinking of these, a flash of determination flashed in Zabuza's eyes.

In the Mizukage Building, a slightly rounded huge figure stood behind the door and window, quietly watching Loquat Juzo and Zabuza leave one after another.

This man had green stripes on his cheeks, long orange hair down to his waist, and carried a large knife wrapped in white cloth on his back.

He grinned, revealing the sharp teeth inside and murmured in a low voice: "Hey! These two stupid guys, with their level of skills, they still want to launch a coup."

This person is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, Suguayama Fugu Oni, the holder of the Great Sword Samehada, and the head of the Intelligence Department of Kirigakure Village.

During the Third Ninja War, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon was one of the three people who narrowly escaped.

After returning to Kirigakure Village, he took over the Kirigakure Village Intelligence Department.

Behind the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, a tall and sturdy figure stood quietly. He had long dark blue hair and a face similar to that of a shark.

Kisame Kisaki is a close subordinate of the Pufferfish Demon in Watermelon Mountain.

Hearing the whisper of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, Kisame couldn't see any change in expression on his shark face.

In the Mizukage's office, after Zabuza left, a huge pitcher plant slowly rose up from the ground.

At the same time, Obito wearing a mask slowly walked out of the shadows.

"Obito, the policies you implemented in Kirigakure Village have caused dissatisfaction among a large number of ninja families, and they will soon rebel."

Bai Jue's voice sounded in the room, with a hint of wanting to see a good show in his tone.

"After all, the time is too short, and such an abrupt change is naturally easy for people to see through. If it weren't for Goju Yagura's identity as a perfect Jinchuuriki, I'm afraid they would have taken action long ago."

Hearing Bai Jue's words, Black Jue's voice followed.

"Huh? So you shouldn't have changed the Fourth Mizukage's previous policy. Why didn't you persuade Obito in the first place?" Bai Zetsu continued to say in a frivolous tone.

"To shut up!"

Hei Jue shouted angrily upon hearing this.

Then, Black Zetsu turned to look at Obito and said, "Obito, Zabuza is no longer reliable! What are you going to do next?"

"Hmph! They're just a bunch of insignificant chickens and dogs! They can't even achieve the most basic trust, so how can they join forces to overthrow my rule?"

Hearing this, Obito sneered and said with disdain.

After using genjutsu to control Gotachibana Yagura, the reason Obito completely rejected his changes and reinstated the blood mist policy was because he wanted to retaliate for the damage done to Harano Lin by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.

Obito couldn't wait to avenge his beloved.

The confidence that Obito dares to do this lies in the strength and prestige of Goju Yagura, as well as the suspicion and distrust caused by the implementation of the blood mist policy during the period of the Kirigakure village chief.

As long as several major forces didn't join forces to rebel, Obito didn't worry about them succeeding at all.

"Obito, this time they have started to contact outsiders. We still need to be more careful. Should the Chuunin Selection Conference held in ten days be postponed for a while?" Staring at Obito, Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry! I'm fully prepared! If someone wants to jump out, it's better to solve it at once," Obito said in a cold voice.

In Kirigakure Village, Kakashi returned to his dormitory with a solemn expression.

Back at the dormitory, Kakashi unexpectedly found the three of Tatsuno gathering together.

Seeing Kakashi coming back, Tatsuno couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Kakashi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. Before he could speak, a message scroll was handed to him by Tatsuno.

Kakashi took it and saw that it was a message sent by someone asking for help from Konoha, asking them to meet in three days.

After reading the message, Kakashi looked thoughtful.

After a while, Kakashi asked Tatsuno and the others, "What do you think?"

Tatsuno thought for a while and said: "This mission is of great importance. I am afraid that the other party has been secretly observing us in the past few days. Now that we have agreed to meet, they are probably ready to take action."

This was the consensus reached by the three of Tatsuno after discussion before Kakashi returned.

"Yes! The request for an appointment should be true! Then let's make preparations first and go to the agreed place to meet on time in three days." Kakashi nodded and agreed with the views of Tatsuno and the others.

After talking about the appointment, Tatsuno then asked: "You looked solemn when you came in just now. Did something big happen outside?"
