The next day, after breakfast, Tianshui left home and went to the venue of the third exam to complete the final preparations.

At the same time, Shimura Shihui in Konoha Hospital had finished his breakfast and was preparing to go through the discharge procedures to carry out Black Zetsu's conspiracy.

Soon, Shimura Shihui completed the discharge procedures and left Konoha Hospital.

He looked back at the window of the dean's office, his eyes full of resentment, then returned home without looking back.

"I'm back." Shimura Shihui's voice echoed in the empty Shimura clan, but there was no response.

He is now the only one left of the once huge Shimura clan, but he has long been accustomed to this lonely life.

Shimura Shihui walked to his father's portrait, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Father, I'm sorry, I disappointed you. I failed the Chunin Exam. However, I have a chance now, a chance to bring disgrace to the Senju Tobirama. As long as I can grasp it, our Shimura clan will definitely get revenge. Please bless me and make everything go well."

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily in front of his father's portrait, then left home and headed to his temporary residence in the Hidden Mist Village to look for Hozuki Huanyue.

Shimura Shihui came to the temporary residence of the Hidden Mist Village, found a place with a wide view, and watched every move of the people in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although he was cautious, his actions were noticed by the experienced jonin of the Hidden Mist Village.

Soon, this situation was reported to the Mizukage by the Jonin.

"You said someone was monitoring us, and you discovered it, right?" Mizukage said calmly.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama. I suspect this man was sent by Konoha Village. Do you want us to capture him and ask Konoha Village why they did this?"

The Jonin put forward his own views, hoping to gain the Mizukage's approval.

"Do you think this is the first time that Konoha Village has sent people to monitor us? Stupid. From the moment we set foot in Konoha Village, countless eyes have been watching us in secret. Not only our Kirigakure, but other ninja villages also have people monitoring us to prevent us from causing damage in the village. If it were me, I would do the same." The Mizukage cursed, making the senior ninja feel ashamed.

"I admit my mistake and take my leave." The jonin looked ashamed and prepared to leave.

"Wait, you just said that you discovered that person? Then he is not an Anbu of Konoha. Remember his appearance and bring him to me secretly tonight. Go down." After the Mizukage gave the instructions, he let the Jonin leave.

That night, the Kirigakure jonin cleverly avoided the surveillance of the Konoha Village Anbu, quietly slipped out of his residence, and went straight to Shimura Shihui of the Shimura clan. The Shimura clan is now sparsely populated, and there is no one else except Shimura Shihui, so the Kirigakure jonin walked into the Shimura family without any scruples, easily knocked Shimura Shihui unconscious, put him in a bag, and left with him on his shoulders.

The Shimura clan was silent, and no one noticed the disappearance of Shimura Shihui. With his agility, the Jōnin of Kirigakure returned to his residence to meet the Mizukage again without alerting anyone.

"Lord Mizukage, I have completed the tasks you arranged." The Jonin of the Kirigakure bowed and opened the sack, revealing the unconscious Shimura Shihui.

"Well done. Wake him up first. I have something to ask him." After praising the Jōnin of the Hidden Mist Village, the Mizukage turned his gaze to Shimura Shiei.

The Jōnin of Kirigakure pressed down on Shimura Shihō's right eye, forcing him to wake up due to the pain. The gauze on his right eye was immediately stained with blood. Shimura Shihō covered his right eye with his hand, and looked around vigilantly with his other eye.

"Boy, be honest. Lord Mizukage has something to ask you. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise you will suffer." The Jōnin of the Hidden Mist Village threatened.

The Mizukage waved his hand to signal the jonin to retreat, and said gently: "Okay, don't scare him. Kid, you have been observing outside all day today. Who sent you here?"

The Mizukage obviously thought that Shimura Shihui was being instructed by someone and did not expect that this was an action on his own initiative.

"No one sent me here. This is all my personal behavior. I have important information to tell Lord Mizukage." Shimura Shiei has already seen through the identity of the Mizukage and decided to confront him directly instead of executing the plan through Hozuki Gengetsu.

"Oh? Tell me, do you have any important information?" There was some interest in the Mizukage's tone, but he did not completely trust Shimura Shihui.

"Lord Mizukage, what do you think about the recent rumors in the village?" Shimura Shihui did not explain directly, but avoided the subject and tested the Mizukage's attitude.

Seeing that Shimura Shihui was deliberately beating around the bush, the Jōnin of Kirigakure was displeased and knocked Shimura Shihui to the ground with one palm. Shimura Shihui covered his face and struggled to get up. The blood at the corner of his mouth showed how heavy the palm force was.

The Mizukage watched coldly, and it was obvious that he also thought that Shimura Shihui lacked the proper respect and needed to be taught a lesson.

Shimura Shihui realized that it was useless to hide it any further, and immediately confessed: "The information I have is related to Senju Tobirama. He is conducting extremely cruel human experiments."

When the Mizukage heard the name of Senju Tobirama, his expression changed slightly. He was obviously very interested in the movements of this Konoha high-ranking official. He said slowly: "Go on, tell me everything you know."

Shimura Shihui began to describe in detail the experiment of Senju Tobirama, portraying it as an inhumane evil. However, after listening to it, the Mizukage frowned and said in a deep voice: "If Senju Tobirama is really as you said, then the Hokage of Konoha should have taken action long ago. Since he did not pursue it, it means that the matter is not as you said. You lied to me."

The experienced eyes of the Mizukage quickly saw through Shimura Shihui's tricks and decided to end the interrogation. He ordered the Mist Village Jonin: "Send him back and make sure he doesn't reveal what happened tonight."

"Okay, Lord Mizukage." The Jōnin of the Hidden Mist Village approached Shimura Shiei with murderous intent.

At the critical moment of life and death, Shimura Shihui was completely panicked. He fell to his knees and begged for mercy in panic: "Lord Mizukage, please don't kill me! I have more information to tell you. The ninjas in your village were also taken away by Senju Tobirama for human experiments. That person is the uncle of Hozuki Gengetsu!"

Upon hearing this, the Mizukage immediately stopped the actions of the Kirigakure jonin. "You just said that Senju Tobirama used people from the Kirigakure to conduct experiments? What's the evidence?"

Shimura Shihui nodded hurriedly: "I saw this with my own eyes."

The water shadow looked sharp: "Then how did you see it?"

"Senju Tobirama is my teacher, so I naturally know his secrets." said Shimura Shihui.

"In that case, why did you betray your teacher and reveal the secret to me?" The Mizukage pressed on.

"Because Tobirama Senju wiped out my entire clan! My entire Shimura clan was slaughtered by him, and I am the only one left!" When Shimura Shihui mentioned hatred, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, which made the Mizukage believe his words even more.

"Then how did you survive?" Mizukage continued to ask.

"My father pleaded with Senju Tobirama to save my life." Shimura Shihui's tone was filled with mixed emotions.

After listening to the interrogation, the Mizukage did not find any flaws, and the information was basically consistent with the information he had, so he temporarily believed Shimura Shihui.

The Jōnin of the Hidden Mist Village watched coldly from the sidelines, feeling increasingly disdainful of Shimura Shikai's performance, but he was unable to lash out because of the Mizukage's attitude.

"Senju Tobirama actually used people from the Hidden Mist Village to conduct experiments. We can't just let this go." The Mizukage said in a deep voice, "Go and invite the Tsuchikage to come and discuss countermeasures."

The Jōnin of Kirigakure left after receiving the order, leaving only Mizukage and Shimura Shiei in the room. Mizukage fell into deep thought, while Shimura Shiei lowered his head and said nothing, not daring to disturb him.

Not long after, the Jōnin of the Hidden Mist Village came with the Tsuchikage. The Tsuchikage asked straight to the point, "Mizukage, what's the matter with you calling me so late at night?"

After the Mizukage gave a brief explanation, he instructed Yicun Zhihui to describe the situation again.

Shimura Shihui told the story truthfully. After listening, the Tsuchikage frowned slightly and said, "This is a serious matter. How does the Mizukage plan to deal with it?"

"Of course we will hold Konoha Village responsible," the Mizukage answered without hesitation.

"No hurry," Tsuchikage waved his hand and thought, "Our two families alone are not enough. We have to win over the Sand Village and the Cloud Village, and then during the Chunin Exam, we will expose this matter in front of the Daimyo of each country and give Konoha Village a thunderous blow."

The Tsuchikage's words revealed a well-thought-out plan, intended to divide Konoha and shake its foundations.

Shimura Shihui felt a little regretful when he heard the Tsuchikage's plan. He originally just wanted to bring disgrace to Tobirama Senju, but he didn't expect to implicate the entire Konoha Village.

Shimura Shihui's inner thoughts were inadvertently revealed on his face. The Mizukage and the Tsuchikage were both experienced men and could see his hesitation at a glance.

The Tsuchikage smiled and said, "You are Shimura Shihui, right? Your father, Chief Shimura, used to pass on information for the Iwagakure Village. He has mentioned you many times in his letters, always praising you highly. Your father's death was the fault of the Hidden Leaf Village. My child, the Iwagakure Village will not let you down."

The Tsuchikage's words were full of emotion, portraying Konoha Village as the culprit. Shimura Shihui's eyes moistened as he listened, his deep emotions were touched, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Under the warm care of the Iwagakure Village, Shimura Shihui gradually lost his reason and fell into the lies carefully woven by the Tsuchikage, and the little regret in his heart also dissipated.
