This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Mizunoe Taki's lips.

In a trance, he seemed to see two young men rushing towards him.

These two young men were so young that Mizunoe Taki seemed to see the shadows of the two previous Mizukage in them.

"Three generations!"

"Clan leader!"

Two urgent shouts reached Mizunoe Taki's ears one after another.

The two people who arrived were Ryosuke Mizunoe and Manabu Hozuki.

At that moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke immediately used the Palm Immortal Technique to heal the Third Mizukage.

But when he investigated, he found that the Third Mizukage's situation was already beyond redemption.

Every organ and blood vessel in his body was intact.

But then Ryosuke performed the Palm Immortal Technique, and Mizunoe Taki was able to take his last breath.

"Ryosuke ah"

"I still like you to call me Uncle Taki"

Mizunoe Taki smiled and spoke in a weak voice.

Upon hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke had a complicated expression on his face and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Lotus has six flowers"

"I'll leave them both to you."

"You must protect them."

Mizunoe Taki's voice became weaker and weaker, and it seemed that every word he spoke required a huge amount of effort.

A large amount of blood flowed out from the corner of Mizunoe Taki's mouth as if it was free. Mizunoe Taki grabbed Ryosuke's hand with all his strength.

"Yes, Uncle Taki."

"I promise that anyone who wants to hurt Sister Lian and Aunt Liuhua must step over my dead body!"

Mizunoe Ryosuke firmly assured the barely breathing Mizunoe Taki in front of him.

Hearing this, a hint of peace flashed in Mizunoe Taki's eyes.

"Remember Today"

"No matter who the village is handed over to in the future."

"Remember"

"It can never be like today again."

Mizunoe Taki finally spoke to Mangetsu Hozuki and Mizunoe Ryosuke in front of him.

They both knew what he was referring to.

After today's civil war, it will take three to five years for the Hidden Mist Village to recover.

As for why Mizunoe Taki said this to them, perhaps it was because he was certain that the next Mizukage would be between Mizunoe Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu.

This was a warning to them that no matter who succeeded the Mizukage, they must never allow civil unrest to occur in the village again.

After saying this, Mizunoe Taki gasped for breath, and it seemed that he might die at any time.

As if he heard some noise, Mizunoe Ryosuke turned his head and looked behind him.

I saw a ninja with a somewhat old-fashioned air, a burly body and a resolute face coming quickly, and behind him were many medical ninjas from the hospital.

The person who came was none other than the third in command of the Hidden Mist Village, the jonin squad leader, Genshi Maeda.

During the previous chaos, Maeda Genshi was responsible for guarding the village and dealing with any possible chaos in the village.

After the coup.

Karuta Yagura also arranged a large number of people inside the village with the purpose of spreading false information.

In order to successfully return to the village and take the position of shadow after the assassination.

Under the leadership of Maeda Genshi, the rumors were quickly quelled and Karatachi Yagura's conspiracy was revealed.

Not long ago, Master Shigeki Maeda received battle reports from the front line and realized that something was wrong. He quickly brought people to support.

Seeing Master Maeda coming, Taki Mizunotsuki held on to his last breath, as if he had something to say to Master Maeda.

Chapter 71, Becoming a Jinchūriki

Master Maeda was also very clear that at this moment, Taki Mizunoe was at a critical moment of life and death. Without much hesitation, he immediately leaned over to listen.

Mizunoe Taki's mouth moved slightly twice, as if he was saying something to Master Maeda.

Because he was too weak, Mizunoe Taki's voice was so weak at this moment that even Mangetsu Hozuki and Mizunoe Ryosuke, who were nearby, could hardly hear it clearly.

Such a faint sound, I think only Master Maeda who was leaning against Mizunoe Taki's ear could hear it.

"Third generation, don't worry."

"I understand clearly. I will carry out your request."

Although it was not known what Master Maeda heard the third generation said before his death, he still responded seriously.

This Jonin squad leader has always been known throughout Kirigakure for his seriousness and reliability.

Seeing that he agreed, Mizunoe Taki was completely relieved.

In the last second of his life, Mizunoe Taki looked up at the sky.

In his eyes, he seemed to vaguely see the two previous Mizukage waving to him.

"Ryosuke, will you lead Kirigakure to further places?"

Mizunoe Taki whispered something in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

At the last moment, the Third Mizukage left this world with a smile.

"Mizukage-sama!"

"Uncle Taki!"

Mangetsu Hozuki and Ryosuke Mizunoe on the side reacted immediately.

But no matter how they tried to rescue him, the completely exhausted Third Mizukage showed no sign of recovering any life.

After a moment, the three of them stood up and bowed to the body of the Third Mizukage Mizunoe Taki.

No matter what happened before, in the last moment of his life, the Third Mizukage fulfilled his duties as a "Kage".

At the most critical moment, he used his life to stop the runaway Three-Tails and recovered the losses for Kirigakure as much as possible.

Meanwhile, in the basement of Ryosuke's house.

Mizunoe Ren and Mizunoe Rikka felt a palpitation at the same time.

It seemed like someone important had left them.

Liuhua and Lian hugged each other. At such a moment, the two fragile women could only wait quietly for the verdict of fate.

They can only pray secretly that nothing will happen to the man whose fate is closely tied to theirs.

"Ryosuke"

"It must be safe and sound."

Mizunoe Ren prayed silently in her heart.

Little did she know that another man with whom she had an intimate relationship had already left this world.

The Third Mizukage is dead, leaving behind a mess.

What should be done with the large number of casualties after the war, and what should be done with the remaining members of the Anbu who rebelled?

Most importantly, the deaths of the Mizukage and the Anbu Minister paralyzed the entire Kirigakure Village for a short period of time.

These are not the most urgent issues. The most important thing is, what should be done with the two tailed beasts in the "frozen" state?

"This is an urgent matter. I won't continue the small talk here."

"Now is not the time to be sad."

"Once this is completely over, we will continue the memorial service at the village's Jonin meeting."

"Now we must decide immediately what to do with these two tailed beasts."

Master Maeda said with a serious face that now that the Mizukage and the Anbu Chosen have passed away one after another, this Jonin squad leader is the theoretical supreme leader of Kirigakure.

Upon hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu both frowned slightly.

However, unlike Mangetsu Hozuki's simple anxiety, there was a strange gleam in Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes.

Time goes back to the basement of the Anbu building, Madara's top-secret space.

Mizunoe Ryosuke agreed to Uchiha Madara's request to become a Jinchūriki.

But in exchange, Mizunoe Ryosuke proposed to Madara that the time to become a Jinchūriki must be chosen by him.

Who is Uchiha Madara?

He almost immediately thought that Mizunoe Ryosuke planned to take advantage of the Yagura Karatachi coup and the change of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to cause trouble.

So Madara directly agreed to Ryosuke's conditions.

Anyway, for Uchiha Madara, as long as Ryosuke becomes the Jinchūriki obediently, nothing else will have any impact on him.

Then, Ryosuke left the underground space and came to the Lake of Mist to participate in the battle.

The reason why Ryosuke proposed such a condition was, of course, to obtain the Three-Tailed Fox through "legitimate means".

If he directly agreed to Uchiha Madara's request, how would he explain to Kirigakure afterwards that he "accidentally" became the Three-Tails' Jinchūriki.

And it just so happens that now is the time to replace the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, so why not use legitimate means to obtain the Three-Tails?

In this way, Mizunoe Ryosuke will also be able to hold the Three-Tailed Fox "legally and compliantly" in the future.

Back to the present, in the eyes of Wuying and the others, they are undoubtedly in a complete dilemma at this moment.

In advance, in order to cope with the replacement of the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, the Third Mizukage prepared a "container" in advance, which was the boy who was lying next to Okubo before.

But now, the death of another Jinchūriki has resulted in one more tailed beast.

This means that Kirigakure must now prepare a new Jinchūriki.

The incident happened suddenly, and the selection of the Jinchūriki became a big problem.

First of all, a Jinchūriki is not like any green onion in the field that can be picked up to do the job.

Before becoming a jinchūriki, an individual's physique and characteristics need to undergo a lot of experiments and examinations. Only when it is confirmed that the individual and the tailed beast's chakra are not repulsive can one have the foundation to become a jinchūriki.

Secondly, if you want to become a Jinchūriki, your background and identity must be absolutely clean.

Otherwise, after becoming a Jinchūriki, what if someone becomes depressed and defects?

Finally, there is one most important question.

That is the Jinchūriki, which often means a tragic ending.

Throughout the original work, there are only three perfect Jinchūriki who can perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts.

They are Yagura Karatachi (original work), Killer Bee and Uzumaki Naruto.

Yagura Karuta can basically be ruled out, because it is difficult to determine whether the reason why Yagura Karuta could become the perfect jinchūriki is because of the shadow of Madara or Obito.

Over the years, among the nine tailed beasts, how many failed Jinchūriki have there been besides these three successful ones?

As for the fate of these human sacrifices, there is no need to say much.

It can even be said that the fate of the previous Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Okubo Genichirō, was considered good among the Jinchuriki.

At least he lived for more than ten years after becoming a Jinchūriki.

Most of the Jinchūriki, after taking in the tailed beasts, died from the erosion of the tailed beasts not long after.

You have to know that the Second Shinobi World War has not yet begun, and Killer Bee only made his debut in the Third Shinobi World War, and immediately became known as the AB combination with the Fourth Raikage Ai.

In other words, it was not until more than ten years later that Kumogakure developed a method to perfectly control the tailed beasts.

Even so, Kirabi was the only one who succeeded.
