Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 112 The First Reward! Kaguya-hime's Son? (10,000 words, please subscribe)

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Misty Shadow, and the light, as bright as day, almost completely obliterated everything in the Water Shadow Building.

The Three-Tails' mournful howls echoed continuously within the Hidden Mist Village, while the Hidden Mist ninjas in the distance stared in stunned silence at the scene.

"The Three-Tails...lost?"

"How is that possible? That's a three-tailed beast!"

Countless Mist Ninja witnessed this scene and heard the Three-Tails' mournful howl, their minds buzzing.

Although the Blood Mist policy was incredibly cruel, they still knew the basics, such as that the Tailed Beasts were the core of ensuring the village's safety.

However, these people who possess the power of the tailed beasts may experience the tailed beasts' power erupting for various reasons.

The Jinchuriki are criticized and disliked for this reason, but no one questions whether the Tailed Beasts are powerful enough.

But now someone has taken care of the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails in front of everyone. How could they not be terrified?

"Is this the power of the Thousand Hands?"

Yuan Shi had already led his group of Mist Ninja to retreat some distance away. Looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, he felt somewhat numb.

He's actually cursing people in his heart right now!

So, just because I'm not in Konoha, you don't care at all?

Terrorists are nothing compared to you!

The thought of the later reconstruction made Yuan Shi's heart bleed. He seriously suspected that Xiu Ze, that bastard, was doing it on purpose.

The more losses they suffer, the more they need to have a proper talk with Konoha!

"Elder, what exactly is going on?"

Just when he felt utterly desolate and wished he could just find an opportunity to wipe out all the people from Konoha and Sunagakure.

A sudden commotion arose behind him, and some of the sounds reached his ears.

Turning his head, he saw a shark-faced man being blocked a few meters away by Qing and the others, and countless Mist Ninja were also looking at him.

"Let him go, Qing."

Master Yuan remembered that this shark-faced man's name was Kisame, a genius ninja of the Hoshigaki clan, a member of the Anbu with considerable strength, and a person who truly loved the village.

Seeing the confusion and anger on his face, Yuan Shi knew he should say something, especially since not only him, but also the other Mist Ninja were looking over.

Even if his orders have been relayed, the situation has changed too quickly; it would be better for him to clarify some issues in person.

"I know you're all confused, especially some of you who haven't received orders yet, so I'll tell you now what's going on tonight."

"We can now confirm that the Fourth Mizukage has been controlled by someone, and all the suffering we've endured over the years is because of this!"

"I know this is hard to believe, but please think carefully about what our policies have been all these years, and what we have actually been doing."

"And look at the situation now. A true Mizukage would never fight so recklessly in the village, even if it meant death. Think of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

"What we're doing now is setting things right!"

"."

As Master Yuan passionately recounted all this to the Hidden Mist ninjas, a crack suddenly appeared in the broken wooden dummy, and Shuzawa jumped out from it.

"Tch, the power of the Tailed Beast Ball shouldn't be underestimated."

Golden chakra still surrounded Xiuze, but he was muttering some curses under his breath.

He was well aware of the power of the Tailed Beast Ball. He could say that his current attack method was the highest level, which was the 'Rasengan' that evolved from the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, he felt that with the protection of Wood Release and the constant absorption of the Three-Tails' chakra by Wood Release, this power should be weakened.

However, he clearly underestimated Obito's determination. That bastard had almost drained the Three-Tails of its last bit of power, trying to take him down with him.

If it weren't for Shusawa's super strong defense and the support of Wood Release, anyone else would probably have been completely doomed!

However, after taking the hit head-on, Xiuze's wooden dummy's entire arm was blown off, and the wooden dragon also looked somewhat broken and miserable.

"That's normal, considering it's only LV7 and was a wooden dummy that was forcibly used using the [Yang Release: Chakra Mode]. Its strength is naturally not as good as Hashirama Senju's."

Xiuze wasn't that concerned; after all, it was just a technique, and everything could be fixed.

Besides, the battle with Obito Uchiha has been temporarily over.

"It all depends on whether you know how to use your skills."

Looking up at the sky, Hidezawa landed directly on the ground and then walked towards the Fourth Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage looked rather battered, covered in wounds all over his body. Combined with his incredibly young appearance, it made him seem rather pitiful.

However, as Hidezawa walked slowly away, Yagura, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes!

Then his dazed gaze slowly returned to normal, and his previously wooden face gradually contorted.

At that moment, Xiuze seemed to see a series of emotions on this guy's face, such as shame, anger, and so on.

Moreover, the guy's face was flushed red, and you could tell he was really furious.

"It's recovered?"

Xiuze glanced at the Fourth Mizukage, stroked his chin, and spoke.

"That's strange, I don't think I've dispelled the illusion for you yet?"

"That guy caused a break in control by trying to make the most of my and Isobu's chakra."

Yagura's face was full of pain, but Hidezawa immediately understood what he meant.

Clearly, Obito Uchiha was unleashing his full power, which resulted in him even struggling to maintain his own genjutsu.

The power of a kaleidoscope is always limited. The difference between a regular kaleidoscope and the Eternal Eye, besides the intensity, lies in the upper limit of the eye's power and whether it can be restored.

Obito Uchiha did not achieve the Eternal Eye, and his eye power likely remained at the Mangekyou Sharingan level. However, he possessed White Zetsu cells, which allowed his eye power to continuously recover.

However, excessive use of one's own pupil power may also lead to a situation where one's pupil power is completely depleted at some point in time.

Even if Yagura was unlucky, he was still the Fourth Mizukage. When the genjutsu control was interrupted, he, as a jinchūriki, could actually break free from the genjutsu!

"I see."

Xiuze nodded, then stroked his chin and suddenly asked.

"Was it Obito Uchiha who controlled you? You were controlled for so long, you must have overheard some of their conversations, right?"

"Obito Uchiha?"

When it came to people who controlled him, Yagura Karatachi was clenching his fists, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"I don't know who it is either, just a guy wearing a mask, and definitely an Uchiha!"

"That's enough."

Xiuze nodded in satisfaction, looked at the pale-faced 'kid' in front of him, thought for a moment, and then suddenly asked with a smile.

"Kid, things have come to this. Whether you're being controlled or not, you should know your fate, right?"

"You're the brat, I already have a son!"

Yagura raised his head angrily and glared at Hidezawa. Don't let his young appearance fool you; no one knows his actual age, but it's certain that he's over 30.

Xiuze's words really hit his sore spot, and coupled with the humiliation of being controlled by an Uchiha for so long, how could he feel comfortable?

However, he quickly raised his head and looked at Xiuze seriously, his gaze somewhat scrutinizing.

"You're a Konoha ninja, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Hidezawa nodded, and Yagura sighed.

"Thank you. Although your purpose in being here is not pure, you still rescued me no matter what."

And from what you're saying, it seems you've already made a deal with some people, right?

"Oh?"

Hidezawa was somewhat surprised; Yagura's reaction was truly exceptionally quick.

"Yes, we did talk about it, but I'm curious what you think."

Does my opinion matter?

Yagura's face contorted in pain again; it was fucking painful!

"If nothing unexpected happens, my fate will either be to 'commit suicide as atonement,' or I'll have to leave with you all silently, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hidezawa nodded slightly. Although Yagura had been controlled for so many years, his mind was clearly not damaged by the illusion.

In Xiuze's memory, after being exposed by Qing with a white eye and having his illusion successfully dispelled, he eventually died silently.

This resulted in Kirigakure being without a Mizukage for several years, as the Fourth Mizukage's actions were too egregious and the consequences too severe.

Xiuze wasn't entirely sure how this person died, but there were only two possibilities: either they were sent away by someone else or they sent themselves away.

The first possibility is that the higher-ups of Kirigakure reached a tacit understanding: they did not want this shame to remain with the Mizukage, and they also needed to erase this part of history so that it could be recorded in the annals of time in the future.

As for the second type, it's nothing more than guilt or depression leading them to ultimately choose to end their own lives.

Suicide is not uncommon. Kakashi's father, who once had such a great reputation, still ended up losing his life because of public opinion.

Of course, it's hard to say whether this "self-destruction" was done by oneself or by someone else "helping out in a small way".

After all, as a shadow, the greatest leader of a village, he had actually become a plaything in the hands of others, causing chaos throughout the entire village.

Not only was his own reputation severely damaged, but Kirigakure also suffered unimaginable losses.

Those bloodline families who died unjustly, those souls who fell under their classmates' blades before they even became ninjas.

There are also a series of problems such as the near collapse of the economy due to the lockdown, all of which need to be addressed.

If he stays, his only fate will be death!

Of course, the situation is different now; in Xiuze's memory, he no longer has a choice.

Now someone is accepting him as a "political refugee"—although the Third Hokage didn't make the decision, Jiraiya is, after all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple!

As the captain, he has the right to make choices, so how could Yagura Karatachi still be willing to stay in this place of sorrow?

"That's right, you probably really do have to come back to Konoha with us."

Hidetsawa smiled, but he wasn't looking at the down-on-his-luck Fourth Mizukage anymore. Instead, he looked up at the sky.

"But rest assured, I don't think Konoha will treat you unfairly, but before that..."

"Before this?"

Yagura looked up in confusion, and at that moment he suddenly saw a figure pierce through the thick smoke and fog and land heavily on the ground!

"There are still enemies?"

Yagura's fists were rock hard; he was truly furious.

What the hell has Kirigakure been ruined like this? How come all sorts of weirdos and monsters can get in?

How damnable am I?

"Yahiko?"

Xiuze looked at the figure and suddenly smiled, but he quickly shook his head slightly.

"No, I should say Nagato. I've already asked Captain Jiraiya, and I already know some things."

"Yeah?"

Nagato nodded, neither confirming nor denying, but his gaze fell on Yagura Karatachi, who was standing to the side.

Seeing this, Xiuze immediately understood his meaning, but he was also somewhat puzzled.

The last time Nagato fought him, his fighting spirit wasn't particularly strong, strictly speaking.

Moreover, the first thing he did upon meeting was to say some inexplicable things, which made Xiuze feel that this guy might have some kind of weird ideas.

For example.

"Is this guy trying to turn me against him?"

Actually, Xiuze had this idea when they met last time, but it became even stronger this time.

After all, Nagato's reaction was something he really couldn't understand.

But no matter what, whatever this guy is thinking or doing, it's no longer appropriate for Yagura Karatachi to stay here.

If I were to say something inappropriate, it would be bad for Yagura to hear it, and he would be in trouble if he went back and tried to make things difficult for himself.

If a fight breaks out, it's questionable whether this guy can even protect himself in his current state.

"Get out of here right now."

Shuzawa took a step forward without making a sound, blocking the Fourth Mizukage behind him.

"You're no help right now, so don't cause me any trouble. By the way, head south."

Yagura glanced at Hidezawa, then at the expressionless, orange-haired weirdo. He really wanted to stay and do something to atone for his sins.

But when he glanced at Xiuze again, he realized that Xiuze's chakra had been completely drained by this person who was radiating golden chakra using Wood Release!

"Konoha, Wood Release has appeared again, and an Uchiha who can control me has emerged. Is history repeating itself?"

As a Kage, he couldn't possibly be so ignorant; he had read the information and knew the story of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Moreover, unlike the overconfident Fourth Raikage, the establishment of Kirigakure was inextricably linked to these two bastards!

One reasoned with them, hoping they would join Konoha; the other reasoned with them, saying that if they disagreed, they should be thrown into the sea all at once.

"Konoha"

Yagura sighed inwardly, but he quickly got up and hurried in the direction Hidezawa had pointed.

Shuzawa watched all this quietly, and only after Yagura had run far away did he turn his gaze back to Payne.

"Well then, now it's our turn."

"Yes, that's true."

Nagato nodded, and his gaze returned to Hidezawa.

"Now, it's our turn."

"Is it over?"

In the distance, amidst ruins, Jiraiya somewhat disheveledly released himself from the toad-mouth binding technique.

The sudden explosion completely stunned them all. Gamabunta gave Jiraiya a harsh scolding and returned to Mount Myōboku.

Faced with the thunderous onslaught, Jiraiya had no choice but to find his own solution, fortunately his defensive methods were quite extensive.

Despite this situation, he was still not in any major problems.

Of course, he also needs to thank Orochimaru next door.

Looking at the three rows of completely shattered Shinmeimon gates, resembling "one-legged torii gates" as if they had been bombed, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Thank you."

He wasn't sure how Orochimaru was doing, but he felt it would be difficult for his old friend to die.

At least he didn't think that such an attack would kill Orochimaru, but in any case, the nightmare was finally over.

"Lord Jiraiya, shall we go and take a look?"

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, but after glancing at everything in the distance, he couldn't help but ask a question in a low voice.

"Shouldn't Xiuzawa and the others' battle be over by now?"

"Yes, Jiraiya-sama, we should go and take a look."

Tianzang immediately spoke up, genuinely curious about what the other side was like.

Yugao, however, did not say anything, and Yekura, being an outsider, was even less likely to speak at this time. Everyone was waiting for Jiraiya to make a decision.

"In the past?"

Looking at the thick cloud of smoke and the chakra that was still dissipating, Jiraiya really wanted to go and take a look.

But he wasn't sure what it was like over there, and it wouldn't be good if he ran into trouble with these kids.

I wasn't very good at it in the past either, after all, that kid Nagato hasn't made a move yet!

Jiraiya didn't know what Nagato was thinking, but his silence clearly indicated he had his own plans.

Jiraiya was worried that if he went there, Nagato might join forces with Orochimaru to deal with Kakashi, Yugao, and the others, which would be terrible!

Unbeknownst to him, Jiraiya had already placed Shuzawa on the same level as himself, and sometimes even thought that this kid might be even more formidable than himself.

He could be somewhat relieved about Shuzawa's safety, but he wasn't so sure about Kakashi and the others.

"us."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before speaking, when suddenly Yekura pointed ahead.

"Someone seems to be approaching, please be careful!"

Jiraiya quickly looked into the distance, cursing himself for being distracted at that moment.

Although I was filled with inner turmoil, this situation really shouldn't have occurred at this time.

"Um?"

However, as the figure slowly approached, he suddenly realized that the person coming was actually the Fourth Mizukage!

"alert!"

Jiraiya immediately shouted, but he soon noticed that the Fourth Mizukage in front of him seemed to be too weak.

His chakra seemed to have been completely drained. Although he ran very fast, his overall condition was really bad.

"Jiraiya?"

Yagura Karatachi also saw Jiraiya and the others. He was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to terms with it, and then gave a wry smile.

"Your Konoha really goes all out. You're one of the Legendary Sannin, and you even have a Senju who has awakened Wood Release. It seems you've been preparing for this for a long time."

"."

Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to say that they hadn't made any preparations at all, and that many things were plans that Hidezawa came up with on the spot after they arrived!

But the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word. Fortunately, he quickly remembered something and looked at Yagura Karatachi with a serious expression.

"Are you alright? What about Xiuze?"

"Is that rude brat named Xiuze?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Yagura raised an eyebrow before nodding.

"It seems everything is alright now, but Konoha is really something, managing to turn someone like that into a rogue ninja and even doing something like this to Kirigakure!"

Although Yagura Karatachi knew his fate, he was still the Fourth Mizukage.

The thought of Obito Uchiha, this guy from Konoha, causing such a mess filled him with immense anger.

He might not dare to say too much to Shuzawa, since that guy doesn't seem like someone to talk to, but he still dares to shout at Jiraiya.

"Let's talk about any problems after we return to Konoha."

Jiraiya shook his head, glanced at Yugao whose eyes were full of anxiety, and then spoke.

"Then where's Xiuze? Why hasn't he come yet? Could it be..."

"He's encountered a new enemy."

As Yagura recalled his disheveled escape, his fists hardened again.

"That guy seems to have some connection with you; his name is Nagato, I think!"

"Nagato."

Upon hearing this name, Jiraiya's pupils dilated instantly, and at that moment, another surge of violent chakra swept in from afar!

Looking up, one could see a golden figure flying rapidly in the sky.

It was clearly Xiuze; amidst the thick fog and smoke, he seemed to be fighting the enemy again.

"Are you completely incapable of communicating?"

Above the sky, Nagato's expression was somewhat grim.

He originally wanted to have a good talk with Xiuze, but it seemed that Xiuze had no room for arguing with him at all.

Once again, before he could even speak, this guy started attacking without any hesitation, which made Nagato really nervous.

You used to be able to guess so many of my thoughts, you used to understand me, so why don't you understand me now?

"I can guess what you're thinking, but I'm curious why you have this idea?"

In the sky, Shuzawa unleashed a powerful punch at Pain while using the sonic booms around him to cover his attack. Nagato, puzzled, spoke up.

At such a close distance, even a sonic boom wouldn't affect Nagato's hearing. Sure enough, Nagato, who was controlling the device from a distance, raised an eyebrow.

"I'm just puzzled by one thing: why would someone as intelligent as you be controlled by Danzo's tricks? Couldn't you see what he was thinking?"

hum-

As Nagato spoke, Hidezawa threw another punch.

In the darkness, countless people could see the golden and dazzling light constantly shining, and the punches seemed to distort the space itself.

"idiot."

Xiuze leaned closer, chuckling softly as he closed in.

"I remember telling you before, how could someone like you possibly understand what I'm about to do?"

"What do you mean?"

Nagato dodged and retaliated at the same time. They looked like they were having a great fight, but in reality, they were both just slacking off.

Nagato was also somewhat surprised by what Hidezawa meant, but he was willing to cooperate.

"The meaning is simple: you can't even solve your own problems, so why do you think I'd want to cooperate with you?"

Xiuzawa would never spout nonsense about "turning" or "recruiting." Joining the Akatsuki would be a death sentence you wouldn't even know how you died.

He's a perfectly good "Konoha civil servant," and he's even managing to swindle people while posing as a "descendant of the Senju." He has a very promising future!

Especially with the Uchiha clan in the village getting worse and worse, they're bound to make a move next year, and that's when Hidezawa gets his chance to 'inherit' their legacy.

With such a bright future, at most he would cooperate with the Akatsuki organization, how could he possibly go and associate with them?

"cooperate."

Nagato, who was hiding in the basement, raised an eyebrow. Although the outside was completely destroyed by the explosion, his hiding place was fine.

"Admittedly, outsourcing to your organization isn't a bad thing for me, but you have too many problems of your own."

Hidezawa didn't care what Nagato thought. While slacking off and making a big show of the battle, he chuckled disdainfully in a low voice.

"That Obito Uchiha must have used some other identity to hide in your Akatsuki organization. Originally, I was just guessing, but now I'm completely certain."

"He won't be a problem!"

Nagato snorted coldly, but he knew he was being somewhat stubborn.

"Not a problem?"

Xiuze shook his head, his disdain deepening.

"His space-time manipulation technique and his ability to control Jinchuriki are not problems?"

If I were you, I would be constantly on guard against someone suddenly crossing space and attacking me.

Even if it wasn't directed at me personally, what about your relatives and friends? What did Xiao Nan say?

"Shut up!"

Nagato's expression changed slightly. Konan was definitely his Achilles' heel, and he had once sworn to protect her!

"Oh, you've exposed another weakness."

Xiuze laughed nonchalantly, sighing as he made his move.

"Even if you don't attack Xiao Nan, you can control her with illusions so that she can approach you without your knowledge. Then you'll be close to death."

Don't think I'm exaggerating. Some people can go to extremes to achieve their goals, and you and I have probably experienced similar things.

"you"

Nagato's expression changed instantly, and even his self-control dropped significantly. As a result, he took a hard punch from Hidezawa!

boom--

A terrifying sonic boom exploded instantly, and an arc of air vortex even appeared around Payne. He slammed heavily onto the ground like a bomb!

Moreover, this guy instantly stood up again. He roared and the ground collapsed instantly, with countless stones flying up. He then charged towards Xiuze again.

"What kind of battle is this?"

"Is this level of combat even possible for a human?"

Although Xiuze and his group were slacking off, the effect they created really stunned all the Mist Ninja.

At least they had never seen anyone fight like that in the sky!

Of course, some powerful ninjas seemed to sense something was amiss; the two were fighting fiercely, but it didn't seem to have resulted in any real consequences.

However, after Payne was slammed heavily to the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly, they all realized that such force was no joke.

"What do you mean?!"

Nagato controlled Pain and sent him flying back into the sky. He glared fiercely at Hidezawa, but Pain's body simply couldn't express his anger.

"The meaning is very simple."

Xiuze didn't care at all. He pressed closer again and said as he attacked.

"My two closest relatives were forced to kill each other, and you probably experienced all of that too. This controlled body must be the one you killed with your own hands, right?"

"."

Nagato's expression had already turned somewhat grim, but before he could speak, Hidezawa continued.

"Don't wonder how I guessed it; there are examples of this in Danzo's Root Teachings."

In the ninja world, when there is no ninja leader, teams consist of three people. As long as the three people get along normally, they will develop a bond.

If we capture one of them and force the other two to make a choice, the death of one of them can save the captured person.

"Shut up."

Nagato's body trembled slightly as painful memories once again flooded his mind, but unfortunately, Hidezawa did not stop.

"After all, the best way to break a person's heart is to watch their closest loved one die, or even kill them with your own hands."

"That Konan must be the one who was captured, and Yahiko must have died willingly at your hands, right?"

"I told you, shut up!"

Nagato really couldn't hold back anymore. How could he have guessed these things so accurately?

Moreover, he grasped a key phrase: "case study of the root teachings of the Danzang school"?

"It seems you must have encountered Lord Danzo."

As if responding to his inner doubts, Xiuze nodded slightly.

"That's why I said I'm just like you. After killing each other, I'll break down mentally. If we succeed, the other person probably won't be able to handle it and will commit suicide, which saves time and effort."

Unfortunately, you're not qualified to work with me. I can easily guess everything about you, but you know nothing about my thoughts.

I know that someone like you must be blaming the world, and that's not wrong; the world probably needs to change.

But do you have a complete political agenda? Do you have a clear action plan? You don't have any of that. All you're thinking about is using fear to oppress people, right?

I can guess Obito Uchiha's purpose; it's nothing more than the Tailed Beasts. I'm afraid that's what he's trying to fool you with, isn't it?

Hidezawa's words made Nagato's mind buzz again. What political demands, what action plan? It seemed he really hadn't thought about these things.

Furthermore, what is the complete meaning of these things?

Besides, this guy has already guessed about the Tailed Beasts. Just who is this guy?!

"Good luck to you. The reason I'm fighting you here is to prevent Obito Uchiha from overhearing us. That guy is no simple character."

Xiuze continued to bluff, though it wasn't entirely a bluff; he basically knew everything.

"You are nothing more than a pawn of Obito Uchiha now. Even if you don't think so, that's the fact."

What makes you think you can cooperate with me now? What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?

Get ready to stop. I need to report back this time, but I will explain the situation to a limited extent.

Your days will be tough, but don't worry, I won't be too explicit about your intentions; I'll at least leave some room for cooperation.

And strictly speaking, you should actually be grateful that I didn't wipe you all out.

Cooperation

I came here to recruit you, how did it turn into a partnership?

Nagato suddenly realized that he seemed to have been led astray by Shusawa!

What Nagato found somewhat disdainful was the idea of ​​annihilating them completely.

Even Hanzo couldn't do it, so what makes you think you can?

"You don't believe me?"

Hidetsawa chuckled, and the next moment his words caused Nagato's expression to change drastically.

"Hiding in the Land of Rain must be unpleasant, and Hanzo should be dead too. Now the Land of Rain should be yours, right?"

"If I told Konoha you were there, without Hanzo and the Rain Ninja army, how long could you hold out?"

The chaotic night finally came to a slow end, and a soft light slowly rose over the sea in the Land of Water.

The brilliant morning light pierced through the thick fog of the Land of Water and shone upon Kirigakure, giving this dilapidated village a glimmer of life.

For the vast majority of Hidden Mist ninja, this night was nothing short of a nightmare.

At first, everyone thought a rebellion was about to break out, but then they heard that it was not a rebellion, but a purge.

Then I witnessed the Three-Tails battling the Wood Golem, whose terrifying power almost wiped out the entire village. Finally, I witnessed two non-humans fighting in the sky!

But what they found most unacceptable was that the Fourth Mizukage had been controlled by someone!

At first, no one believed it, but after experiencing everything that happened that night, almost everyone accepted the fact.

When the news reached the Hidden Mist ninja who rushed back, it caused an uproar.

Some people blushed with shame and indignation, while others cursed loudly in anger.

But when all the sounds stopped, everyone fell into an awkward silence.

"Sigh, you should leave now."

On a gentle hillside in Kirigakure, Yuan Shi looked at Xiu Ze and the others with a weary expression.

"I have already arranged for the people from Sunagakure to evacuate. They will be waiting for you in a forest. We will follow up on the negotiations, which will not take too long."

After saying this, Genji couldn't help but look at Hidezawa, Jiraiya, and the others.

If he could, he would rather die than reveal that the Fourth Mizukage was being controlled, as he knew perfectly well the impact this would have on Kirigakure.

But he knew even better that Xiuzawa and his ilk would not accept being smeared as "the Mizukage kidnapper" or "the destroyer of the Mist Village"!

Moreover, villagers also need to vent their frustrations, whether they are civilians, ninjas, members of bloodline clans, or even high-ranking members of Kirigakure.

That's why he was able to reluctantly accept it; more simply, he had no other choice.

"Thank you for your hospitality. We'll be leaving now."

Jiraiya nodded immediately. He didn't want to stay here at all, especially after seeing that almost half of the village had been wiped out.

He was truly terrified to stay here; who knew if these Hidden Mist Villagers would get angry and do something to them!

"However, we still need to discuss the matter of the Fourth Mizukage."

Master Yuan raised his head as if he had thought of something, and he spoke directly.

"Indeed, he can no longer stay in the Land of Water, and we have already reached an agreement, but there are some things in his body that still need to be addressed."

We can disregard the Three-Tails, but this is still our village's territory. We hope that in the subsequent negotiations, both sides can provide an answer.

The reason why Master Yuan readily agreed to send away the Fourth Mizukage, who possessed the Three-Tails, was not only due to considerations of practical interests, but also because he had other ideas.

One of them is that the Fourth Mizukage died.

That's right. He actually felt that if the Fourth Mizukage was controlled, Hidezawa and the others had a certain chance of killing him in their battle against him.

Secondly, even if they come back to life, it's not like they can't talk.

After all, someone has already taken control of the Fourth Mizukage, so Konoha must seriously consider how to deal with him during the Nine-Tails Night.

Of course, most importantly, they weren't without precedent of giving away the Three-Tails!

Years ago, they decided to seal the Three-Tails into a little girl and send her to attack Konoha, which meant they had already lost the Three-Tails.

Everyone knows that Konoha possesses powerful sealing techniques, and everyone knows that Konoha cannot be troubled by a Three-Tails.

Such a decision was basically the result of discussions among everyone.

So, with the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails being sent away, he didn't need to think about it much. But now, the Fourth Mizukage is an excellent bargaining chip!

Besides, having suffered such a huge loss, it wouldn't be a bad thing to disgust Konoha a little.

"We will report this matter to the village; how things are discussed afterwards is none of my business."

Jiraiya rubbed his temples, feeling extremely troubled. The Mizukage and the Three-Tails had been taken back by them just like that?

At first, he probably didn't think too much about it. After all, no one knew the outcome. He agreed to it for the sake of Konoha, so he wouldn't lose out no matter what.

Now, considering what will happen when he gets back, he can't help but think about it more.

But upon further reflection, he realized that things seemed to be far too complicated!

After the Three-Tails and the Fourth Mizukage entered Konoha, how should their placement be handled?

Konoha already had the Nine-Tails, and now a Three-Tails has appeared. What will the other villages think?

The complexity of this matter will only cause his teacher some trouble.

"Hmph! I knew going out with a bastard like you would never end well."

Jiraiya couldn't help but glare at Hidezawa, but compared to Jiraiya's bitter and helpless expression, Hidezawa maintained a smile.

However, Jiraiya did not notice that at this moment, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
