They're promoting the "Konoha threat" theory, and spouting nonsense about the Hidden

Chapter 80 Uchiha Madara: The wind that misses me blows to the ground.

At this moment, Ren was like a crazed gambler, almost driven mad by Hozuki Shingetsu's endless stream of cards, trying to put all her chips on the table and go all in.

Ever since she was seduced by a mysterious man who called himself "Uchiha Madara" more than a decade ago, and provided him with information that led to the deaths of Hozuki Gengetsu and Musou, Ren knew that she had embarked on a path of no return.

Later, with the other party's help, he secretly and ruthlessly killed many Warring States period veterans who opposed him, finally achieving his goal of becoming the Mizukage. Not to mention the stone tablet he used to win over the Kaguya clan, which was personally handed to him by that mysterious person. Its authenticity is self-evident. If the Kaguya clan knew the truth, he would probably be the first to rebel.

Faced with all these leverages, he could only assist in their actions—although he didn't know what the mysterious person's ultimate goal was, eliminating the Hozuki and Yuki clans was, in a sense, in line with his own.

After being used as a stepping stone by Hozuki Gengetsu and watching him step over her to become the Mizukage, Ren harbored deep hatred for the Hozuki clan.

As for the Yuki clan, who told them to get so close to Hozuki?

If you have to blame someone, blame them for getting too close! In every dynasty and every year, which ghost didn't die unjustly?

All these reasons led Ren to make this crazy decision as he watched Hozuki's forces grow stronger.

As for whether releasing the Three-Tails and Six-Tails will cause damage to the village—if he weren't the Mizukage, what would be the point of Kirigakure's existence?

Kaguya Yoshio agreed to the task, driven by the hope of curing the blood disease and the allure of the fighting cells within his body.

-

"What do you mean? Are you going to leak the information again this time, and give that Hozuki clan brat a hand?" Deep underground, a pitcher plant was quietly lurking beneath the Mizukage Building, listening intently to Ren and Kaguya Yoshio's conspiracy.

They probably never imagined that their newly conceived plan would be known to outsiders so soon after it was first mentioned.

"Help? We should help, but I'm not helping that kid Hozuki, I'm helping Ren." Black Zetsu's face showed a look of anticipation.

"After all, if he can't even overcome this kind of setback, what right does that kid have to be my pawn?"

"Moreover, after this turmoil, regardless of who wins or loses, Kirigakure will suffer heavy losses due to the rampage of the two tailed beasts and such intense internal strife! And after Kirigakure suffers heavy losses, whether Ren or Hozuki wins, it won't be a loss for us at all, right?"

With Hozuki's victory, the Hidden Mist Village, severely weakened, will undoubtedly be even more determined to implement its "continental balance policy," leading to further turmoil in the ninja world.

Conversely, if Ren wins, what will Kirigakure, whose strength has been greatly diminished, use to resist them?

Such a perfect base, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?

"The reason I provided that kid with information in the first place was simply because I saw he had some talent for scheming and plotting. If he succeeds, all the better; if not, it won't affect our plans much. As long as we firmly grasp the idea of ​​'continental balance,' his presence or absence won't make a significant difference!"

"Moreover, it seems that this lotus is quite ruthless. I'm getting more and more excited for the battle that's coming soon."

Clearly, Black Zetsu greatly admired the Kage who dared to release a Tailed Beast into his own village.

Therefore, he plans to help Lian again when the time comes.

"Compared to this, I'd rather know how you're going to fool Madara. Otherwise, if 'Whirlpool White Zetsu' makes a move, wouldn't the balance of power between the two sides be off?" White Zetsu asked with interest.

"Madara? There are many reasons... and isn't this one already taken?" Black Zetsu glanced mockingly at his head and said to White Zetsu, "Tell me... if Madara saw that documentary about the Uchiha's fate, 'Thirty Years of Slavery,' and that 'Uchiha Human Rights Report,' how would he react? Would he still have the energy to care about this?"

Did Madara Uchiha read "Thirty Years a Slave" and "Uchiha Human Rights Report"?

Bai Jue was taken aback, then imagined the scene.

puff!

Even though it was an artificial being devoid of emotions, White Zetsu still managed a slight smile.

Omosiroy.

Hozuki Shingetsu, of course, was unaware of Ren and the others' conspiracy, nor did he know that Uchiha Madara, the "King of Shinobi Dance," was about to witness his masterpiece.

Unlike when they left, the three of them were much more relaxed on their way back from the capital, having settled everything. They took a good rest on the way back.

After all, they had just swindled a large sum of money from Sui Keita, and they felt a bit empty if they didn't spend it all. So the three of them spent a week eating and playing on the way back to Kirigakure.

Meanwhile, news that Hozuki Shingetsu had been adopted as a son by the daimyo Sui Keita, and that Kirigakure's military budget would be doubled the following year, had already spread throughout the entire village.

Although Ren didn't want to make Hozuki Shingetsu famous, he had no choice. The increase in military spending was something that affected the interests of the entire village, and he couldn't cover it up by himself. So many departments were watching with bated breath, and the daimyo's envoy came with no attempt to conceal it. How could he possibly keep it a secret?

Furthermore, given that a life-or-death struggle was about to unfold with Hozuki's side, Ren, adhering to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," ultimately adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards these rumors.

Thus, even before Hozuki Shingetsu's mission to the capital was fully described in the gossip of the people of Kirigakure, the details of which had already been vividly circulated.

This includes, but is not limited to, the story of Hozuki Shingetsu enduring humiliation in the capital to fund Kirigakure's military expenses, bearing the insults of the Little Prince and the provocations of the Yanagisawa clan, upholding Kirigakure's dignity, and ultimately winning the daimyo's favor through a desperate counterattack.

Of course, the fact that Hozuki used some shameless and sycophantic rhetoric is not a very important part, and the rumors were glossed over in a subtle way.

Well, the contents have absolutely nothing to do with the letter that Hozuki Shingetsu sent flying in the capital.

Just kidding, how could someone as upright as Hozuki Shingetsu manipulate public opinion behind the scenes? This is all the spontaneous behavior of energetic and enthusiastic groups in Kirigakure, and has absolutely nothing to do with Daikichi.

Moreover, this image perfectly matches Hozuki Shingetsu's image in the village. So, although there are occasional rumors that are not conducive to the overall situation of Kirigakure, the villagers always believe that Hozuki Shingetsu's image in that story is too flattering, and therefore they do not accept any of them.

This left Ren feeling helpless, and once again annoyed that she had carelessly handed over the right to public opinion in the village to Shingetsu.

It was under these circumstances that Hozuki Shingetsu, along with Yagura Karatachi and Yukinagi, successfully returned to Kirigakure.

Thanks for your support, brothers. If all goes well, it will be available tomorrow.
