This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

In the Land of Water, Mizunoe and Kaguya are like the Senju and Uchiha in the Land of Fire.

The two tribes fought against each other endlessly, and at one point it even came to a point where it was either one of them would die or the other would perish.

Fortunately, with the mediation of the first Mizukage Byakuren, the two anti-Japanese groups temporarily stopped their activities and joined the Hidden Mist Village headed by Byakuren.

In fact, this was also because the clan leaders of both sides at the time saw the situation clearly and knew that "one village, one country" would inevitably become a trend in the future.

If you are a little slow in joining the ninja village, you may be overwhelmed by your opponents in the future struggles within the ninja village.

Also because of the grudges between the two sides, the position of "Shadow" was given to the most suitable neutral person at the time, the first Mizukage Hakuren.

As it turns out, the Mizunoe clan may not be the strongest in terms of scheming and means, but they are indeed three streets ahead of Kaguya.

Thanks to Mizunoe's efforts, Mizunoe Taki first became the bodyguard of the first generation to accumulate reputation, and then took the position of the Minister of An on the condition of fully supporting the second generation's reforms.

In the end, Taki Mizunoe even rose to the top and became the Third Mizukage.

Although the process seemed bumpy, in comparison, Mizunoe's advantage has completely overwhelmed Kaguya.

It seems that apart from being stubborn, the Hyuga clan has no other advantages.

To this day, the hatred between the two sides has not disappeared just because they are from the same village and share the same title of "Mist Ninja".

Instead, it reached a critical point where the contradiction broke out completely.

Even if Karatachi Yagura had not defected, it would not be long before Kaguya would be forced to raise the flag of resistance under the targeting of Mizunoe Taki.

Back to the present, in terms of basic combat power, Mizunoe has the support of the senior ninja squad leader Maeda Genshi, and a large number of ninjas who were originally neutral are now standing on Mizunoe's side.

On Kaguya's side, they used the Anbu ninjas who had previously maintained the barrier to fight against Maeda Genshi's forces.

Everyone knows that the most crucial issue is still the confrontation between the two old enemies Mizunoe and Kaguya.

Because both sides understood that this battle would be a battle that would determine the fate of the clan, so both sides did not hold back at all.

Under the order of the Mizukage, Mizunoe mobilized all the capable warriors in the clan.

Right now, facing the fierce Kaguya clan, especially Kaguya Ichiro who has the strength of a "Kage", Mizunoe seems to be at a disadvantage in the absence of the clan leader.

But Mizunoe was not panicked at all. Even without the clan leader, Mizunoe still had another "stabilizing force" in the clan.

——Grand Elder!

Great Elder Mizunotsuki looks like a sixty-year-old man with white hair and beard, but no one would underestimate him because of his old age.

When he was young, the Great Elder was definitely a strong man with the combat power of "Shadow", but his combat power has weakened due to his age.

But when it comes to a battle with Kaguya, the Great Elder will definitely risk his life!

Next to the Great Elder was a young man with about twenty years of appearance, who looked somewhat similar to the Great Elder.

Mizunoe Hideo, the eldest son of the Great Elder, is also the brother of Mizunoe Mitsuhiko.

He is also a strong young man with the title of "Mizunoe's No. 1 Genius".

Even within the Mizunoe clan, there were already voices that Mizunoe Hideaki would be designated as the next clan leader.

"Yinglang, let's go together as father and son to meet this Ichiro clan leader!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder, and beside him, Mizunoe Hideaki did not retreat at all because he was about to face a Kage-level strongman.

"Yes! Father!"

There was a hint of excitement in Mizunoe Hideaki's eyes.

Afterwards, ice spikes with freezing coldness and hideous bone spurs collided with each other from time to time.

Kaguya Ichiro smashed the ice wall in front of him, which was as thick as a fortress, with one punch, and looked coldly at the old man and the young man in white clothes opposite him.

The battle seems to have just begun!

Chapter 56: The Dark Truth of the Hidden Mist Village

“Oh~”

"Dear, it seems that Xiao Yagura can't hold on any longer~"

"Looks like we have to tell Grandpa quickly~"

In the dark corner of the Fog Lake, where no one knew anything, a mean voice slowly rang out.

"Well, this kid Gouju is more of a hindrance than a help!"

"It looks like this is going to be difficult to end."

"Let's see how the old man plans to deal with it."

A hoarse and low voice replied to Jian Xixi.

What was strange was that it was less than thirty meters away from the two of them.

There were actually two members of the Mizukage Guard and an Anbu elite who were fighting each other, but they were completely unaware of the "Pitcher Plant" right next to them.

"boom!"

A blazing fireball blasted towards the corner where the pitcher plant monster was hiding.

It seems to be an "accidental injury" caused by coincidence.

"Eh!"

"That's dangerous, let's go!"

The pitcher plant monster raised one hand, and his white arm turned into a strange leaf-shaped tissue. He slapped the blazing fireball with his backhand.

"Well, it's not a good place to stay for long."

A hoarse voice echoed along.

Then, the strange man with the appearance of a "pitcher plant" sank into the ground and disappeared.

Under the Kirigakure Anbu building, in a dark tunnel that is bottomless.

The cautious Mizunoe Ryosuke finally reached the bottom of the tunnel.

The journey in the tunnel is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Ryosuke must always pay attention to possible traps and dangers in the tunnel, and at the same time, he must always remain perfectly hidden to avoid being exposed.

Especially when knowing that the other party has a reconnaissance expert like "White Zetsu", Mizunoe Ryosuke needs to be more cautious in his actions.

Finally reaching the end of the tunnel, Mizunoe Ryosuke became increasingly nervous.

At the bottom of the tunnel is a huge half-open wooden door. Behind the wooden door is the truth that Mizunoe Ryosuke is eager to find out!

Taking a deep breath, Mizunoe Ryosuke hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to give himself a layer of "insurance" in case of emergency.

What kind of insurance is that, you ask?

Of course, I can only say that those who understand will understand.

Without much hesitation, Mizunoe Ryosuke entered the half-open wooden door.

Behind the wooden door is a huge space.

In addition to the endless plane, this space also has an extremely wide circular dome.

Everything, from the floors to the ceilings, fixtures, etc., is made of wood.

I think this is because materials are scarce underground and we can only use local materials.

But the most eye-catching sight does not end there.

In the very center of the circular space, a huge wooden golem stood quietly in a half-sitting posture.

The golem's posture was extremely ugly, with huge eyes covered by a white substance of unknown material, two thick and huge arms wrapped around the chest, and a big mouth full of fangs half open, as if shouting to the sky.

Behind the golem, there are densely packed cylindrical protrusions, which look like an old tree root that has been cut down.

Magical, twisted, hideous, ugly

These words are just right to describe this terrifying golem, and they don't seem out of place at all.

And right below the golem stands a towering and huge chair that looks like a "throne".

On a huge wooden chair, a man sat quietly with his eyes closed. A dozen tentacle-like tubes were inserted into the man's back, transporting some turbid unknown liquid.

The man's figure was a little hunched due to the erosion of time, and his black hair was turning gray with the passage of time.

In addition to the hideous scars on the exposed body, the skin is also full of wrinkles, showing an old look with life exhausted.

The old man in front of him is none other than the Shura of the Ninja World—Uchiha Madara!

At this moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke, who was hidden under the secret technique of magic mirror illusion, felt his heart suddenly choke.

Sure enough, his guess was correct.

Before Yagura Karatachi took the position of Mizukage, Uchiha Madara had already sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village.

He secretly supported Yagura Karatachi to take the position of the Fourth Mizukage, paving the way for his next plan.

At this moment, all the truths hidden behind the Hidden Mist Village were revealed.

All the doubts that existed in Mizunoe Ryosuke's heart were also revealed.

In fact, Karuta Yagura was not controlled by Uchiha Obito by chance as in the original work.

But he had long been controlled by Uchiha Madara!

In this way, all of Karutagi Yagura's actions were actually under the influence of Uchiha Madara.

According to the original work, the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by Uchiha Obito by coincidence.

But in reality, this doesn't make sense at all.

First of all, Uchiha Obito's Mangekyō ability is spatial, not illusion.

Although with the powerful blessing of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito's attainments in illusion must be quite high.

But when it comes to pure illusion, Obito's attainments in illusion are definitely not as good as Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Mizu.

In the original work, the only illusion that can completely change a person's mind is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō illusion - Kotoamatsukami.

Even Itachi could only implant illusions in a person's mind, but not manipulate a person's memory for a long time.

Itachi Uchiha could not completely control a Kage-level strongman for a long time and turn him into a tool.

And why was Obito able to control the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi for such a long time?

This is the first doubt.

Secondly, long before Obito was chosen as the "successor" by Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara had manipulated the Anbu ninjas of Kirigakure to seal the Three-Tails in Rin Nohara's body.

Such behavior is definitely not something that can be achieved by simply Madara using illusion to manipulate a few ninjas.

How could such a large-scale operation, even involving the Three-Tails, be carried out without the consent of the Ninja Village and the Kage?

If Madara can use illusions to control the Anbu of Kirigakure, can he also use illusions to brainwash the entire Kirigakure upper echelons?

There is only one explanation, that is, Uchiha Madara had already controlled the Hidden Mist Village in advance and at least had the authority to mobilize the Anbu and the Three-Tails.

This is the only way to avoid leaving any doubts afterwards and being discovered by the people within Kirigakure.

Even though there were different voices within Kirigakure, all orders came from the Fourth Mizukage, and Yagura Karatachi was responsible for everything.

In this way, there is only one truth that Mizunoe Ryosuke speculated.

That is, in fact, long before Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara had already completely controlled the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta.

Not only did he borrow the power of Kirigakure, but he also directed Obito's transformation into a villain.

Even later, after Uchiha Madara's death, Obito used the backup plan left by Madara to once again control the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura!

Based on this inference, Mizunoe Ryosuke would be extremely suspicious whether Karatachi Yagura was under the control of Uchiha Madara at this point in time?

Therefore, Ryosuke had to take the risk and go deep into the underground of the Anbu.

Building

Now, all the truth is revealed, and Uchiha Madara who appeared in the underground of Anbu explained everything.

(Please give me flowers, votes, and support, thank you!).

Chapter 57, Face to face with the Shura of the Ninja World!!

In fact, even Uchiha Madara could not reach the level of Kotoamatsukami in illusion.
