"It's Ao from Kirigakure who wants to deal with you,"

Tie Zhu glanced at him sideways, his words carrying a pointed meaning: "You know Qing, right? They wanted to assassinate you! Even..."

After a pause, Tie Zhu offered his guess, "Even that 'Master Yuan,' who is not the Mizukage but is more like the Mizukage, also has the intention to kill you."

This is just Tie Zhu's guess.

But he spoke directly and decisively, and then prepared to force Zabuza to go in the direction he had envisioned.

"Qinghe Yuanshi, is that it?"

Zabuza pondered, thinking of those two people.

Ao is a senior, and it is said that it was his Byakugan that exposed the reality that the Fourth Mizukage was being manipulated.

As for Yuan Shi

Did that person actually make such a choice?

Zabuza knew that if that person also thought of him that way and used that as an excuse to kill him, then he would have no place to exist in the current Hidden Mist Village.

That being the case!

A ruthless glint flashed in Zabuza's eyes. If that's how it is, then let's kill them and turn the entire Hidden Mist Village upside down!

but.

Zabuza turned his head to look at that stunning profile and asked in confusion, "Didn't we agree that after a few more months I would be able to rely on my immense prestige to win without a fight and answer the people's call to directly sit on the throne of the Mizukage?"

How did the plan end up like this?

Tiezhu handed Zabuza an investigation report, "Take a look!"

Zabuza took it and examined it.

The above are various charts, mainly showing impressions and support for Zabuza.

After four or five months of promotion, Zabuza's trust level in the Land of Water has reached around 50%, and his penetration rate has reached 60%.

Further predictions suggest that if this kind of promotion continues, the trust level will reach at least 80% within six months.

The above is the survey of the Land of Water. As for the Hidden Mist Village, it is slightly lower than this, but it will be enough for a "return of the king" to take place in half a year!

With such high approval ratings, what's a Qing? What's a Yuan Master?

Isn't it all up to Zabuza to decide what he says?

"But the enemy won't give us that chance!" Tie Zhu explained.

"Since the enemy isn't giving us a chance, we have no choice but to forcefully launch the follow-up plan!"

Thinking of his plan, Tie Zhu smiled broadly. "Although there were some unforeseen circumstances that left us somewhat unprepared, the current situation is sufficient. So,"

"Zabuza-san, are you ready to become a hero?"

Chapter 217 Everything is Ready

Minazuki Tetsuju's original plan was actually very peaceful, a plan that could be described as subduing the enemy without a fight.

The main approach involves using more than a dozen newspapers and magazines to create a multi-tiered, multi-wave, and extensive propaganda campaign, aiming to achieve the effect of brainwashing propaganda.

Let the people of the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist see a perfectly crafted Zabuza Momochi, and witness his charismatic personality.

This would allow Zabuza Momochi to become a good friend of the people of the Land of Water, thus increasing his chances of winning any upcoming votes or elections.

However, the assassination attempt on the two was ordered by higher-ups.

This road is now closed!

Master Yuan is truly despicable!

Qing is even more despicable!

The Hidden Mistman refuses a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!

Now, Minazuki Tetsuju had no choice but to activate his original backup plan!

This plan is going to involve some bloodshed and violence.

He, Mizuki Tetsuju, is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see anyone get hurt. He originally did not plan to use this strategy, but now he is 'forced' to do so!

The Land of Mist and the Land of Water are about to face a bloodbath!

"Zabuza-san, are you ready to become a hero?"

Remembering his plan, Tetsuya stared at Zabuza with a slight smile in his eyes.

"A hero, huh?"

Zabuza Momochi pondered the word. He had been a hero once in the Land of Waves, so what about this time?

How does one become a hero?

Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu's smile widened even more: "Those who save the people from suffering are heroes."

"Water and fire?"

"Yes, water and fire!"

Noticing Zabuza's change in expression, he advised, "Don't worry about how they got here! There's never a change of dynasty without bloodshed."

Noticing Zabuza's silence, Tetsuya promptly changed the subject, "After this, you'll become the Mizukage. What? Aren't you ready yet?"

"Water reflection?"

Zabuza muttered something, his face obscured by bandages, but his eyes clearly held a hint of memories.

Becoming the Mizukage was once the dream of my good friend Sakuragi Hanamichi; that kid had entrusted his dream to me.

Thinking of his best friend who died in his arms, Zabuza's confusion vanished.

He nodded decisively, "Water Shadow? Of course, it's ready!"

He's been preparing for the throne of the Water Shadow for a long time!

Not only that, he even had a basic plan for how to change Kirigakure.

"it is good!"

Mizuki Tetsuju exclaimed in admiration, then looked up and gestured to the four people standing in the center of the hall, "These four will be your best helpers!"

"Are they people who came here to seek refuge?"

Zabuza glanced at them.

He had been away from Kirigakure for many years and naturally didn't know these ANBU members, but were they reliable?

Tetsuya, who was constantly observing Zabuza's partner, assured him, "Don't worry, they are completely on our side and we can rely on them."

How can you not trust your own people who have been reformed?

Upon hearing this, Zabuza no longer doubted and simply nodded.

"Oh, right,"

Tie Zhu seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "How much do you know about 'Qing'?"

"Green?"

Recalling the owner of that face he had seen more than ten years ago, who had now become the culprit who assassinated him, Zabuza felt a pang of regret.

However, his years of travel and even escape had hardened his heart to the point of steel.

Over the years, betrayal and assassination have become commonplace, so naturally, I won't be saddened by it for even a second.

Therefore, Zabuza betrayed the man who was preventing him from becoming the Mizukage and from fulfilling Sakuragi Hanamichi's ideals without hesitation.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, “Qing is a very experienced Jonin, you may not know that.”

At this point, he glanced at Tie Zhu and said, "He has a special eye above his right eye."

"Eye?"

Tie Zhu was puzzled.

Zabuza's special explanation must have something special about it.

But what is it?

Recalling the Sharingan that Lao Da had once shown to Zabuza, Tezuka instantly felt that he had guessed the answer.

"The Sharingan?" he said.

However, Zabuza directly denied it, saying, "No, it's a Byakugan."

"Eye roll?"

Tie Zhu was shocked. Because they separated relatively early, he didn't inherit much of Lao Da's memories from that time, so he was extremely surprised at this moment.

As everyone knows, the Byakugan is protected by the 'Caged Bird Seal,' making it impossible for outsiders to obtain it.

Someone actually managed to exploit the vulnerability?

Could it be that the main branch of the Hyuga clan has died?

Is it one of Hinata's uncles? Or...?

"Yes, it's a Byakugan that Kirigakure accidentally acquired during the previous war."

Is that so?

During the war, which should have been during World War III, Kirigakure unintentionally—no, intentionally—gained a Byakugan.

This explains many things.

Why was the puppet Fourth Mizukage controlled by Obito Uchiha discovered?

It's all thanks to the eye roll!

Minazuki Tetsuki suddenly realized that the group's intelligence network in the Land of Water was still too weak.

They haven't even gathered this much information.

The Land of Water is isolated in a corner of the world, and it's located on an island, so it's never been valued by its leader.

Moreover, in preparation for the Fourth World War, most of the group's intelligence resources have been deployed on the mainland.
