Chapter 336 Zabuza's Decision
"evidence?"
Bai Ye looked at Zabuza and said with a smile: "What evidence do you want? The policies issued by the Fourth Mizukage over the years are the best evidence. No matter how stupid a Mizukage is, he would not issue such absurd policies."
"I really don't understand why your Kirigakure has a blood mist policy."
Actually, I don't know either... Zabuza muttered inwardly, and then continued: "The order issued by the Fourth Mizukage is indeed suspicious, but the Mizukage is so powerful, how could he be controlled by a ninja?
Seeing that Zabuza was still unwilling to believe him, Bai Ye continued: "If the Fourth Mizukage was not controlled, why did he stay in the Mizukage Building all these years? It is so difficult to leave the Mizukage Building."
Zabuza was silent for a while. Bai Ye's words made sense.
During the years he served as an Anbu member, he seldom saw the Fourth Mizukage. Even if he did see him, he would always stay in the Mizukage Building.
Although the Mizukage Building is where the Mizukage works, who would stay in the office all the time?
Moreover, many major events have happened in the village in recent years. First, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki left the village and ran to live on an isolated island. Later, several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen left the village.
Now, only Mangetsu Hozuki and Kisame are still left in the village among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
After so many big things happened, the Fourth Mizukage still chose to stay indoors, which in itself is very suspicious.
Biwa Juzo also fell silent and followed Bai Ye's thoughts.
He also felt that the Fourth Mizukage was very suspicious and suspected that he was being controlled by other ninjas, otherwise he would not have done a series of incredible things.
Recovering their thoughts, Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou looked at Bai Ye together: "Master Bai Ye (Jounin), you just said that you know the ninja who controls the Mizukage, who is he?"
Bai Ye did not keep the secret and spoke directly: "It's the masked man. Do you remember the Nine-Tails Rebellion that broke out in Konoha? The Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina died because of the masked man."
"Over the years, the Konohagakure has been investigating the masked man's intelligence, but they never imagined that the masked man was hiding in the Hidden Mist Village and controlling the Fourth Mizukage."
After a pause, Bai Ye looked at Biwa Juuzou and Zabuza and told a joke:
"Judging from the time that guy was in power, he is the real Mizukage. By this calculation, although the Hidden Mist Village was defeated by Konoha in the Third Ninja World War, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha also died at the hands of the 'Mizukage'."
Faced with Bai Ye's cold joke, Biwa Juuzou and Zabuza couldn't laugh.
If the mastermind behind the scenes really controlled the Mizukage for so many years, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the real Mizukage. But even if the Hidden Mist Village killed the Fourth Hokage, they did not gain any benefits.
The Hidden Mist Village is still isolated overseas, and Konoha is still the largest ninja village in the ninja world.
Also, the joke is not funny.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zabuza asked, "If the Fourth Mizukage is really controlled by the masked man, then I have wronged him. However, I am more curious about what grudges exist between you and the masked man?"
Bai Ye, the movie emperor, possessed the body, his expression instantly became solemn, and then he said:
"The masked man's actions against the Fourth Hokage have nothing to do with me, but the fact that he killed Uzumaki Kushina is his problem. This alone makes the conflict between him and me irreparable."
"What's the relationship between Uzumaki Kushina and you?" Zabuza was still a little confused. Biwa Juuzou understood something, walked to Zabuza's ear and said: "Master Baiye is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, and Kushina is one of the few descendants of Uzumaki in the ninja world."
After hearing this, Zabuza understood more or less the grudge between Bai Ye and the masked man.
However, Zabuza was still hesitant about accepting Byakuya's invitation to go to the Hidden Mist Village to assassinate the Mizukage.
After thinking for a long time, Zabuza asked directly:
"I can go with you to deal with the Mizukage and the person behind the scenes, but I am curious about what you plan to do with the Hidden Mist Village after you reveal that you have dealt with the masked man."
Hearing this, Bai Ye looked at Zabuza and said:
"That depends on your strength. If you can deal with the Fourth Mizukage and the masked man, Akatsuki will establish an equal relationship with the Hidden Mist Village. If you cannot deal with the Fourth Mizukage and the masked man, and you need me to help, the Hidden Mist Village will become a subordinate organization of Akatsuki in the future."
Bai Ye's condition made Zabuza frown: "What's the difference between becoming a subordinate organization of Akatsuki and being manipulated by the masked man? Why should I go to the trouble of dealing with the Fourth Mizukage and the masked man?"
Bai Ye said without changing his expression:
"The Akatsuki organization will at least not issue the Blood Mist Policy, nor will it interfere with the normal development of the Hidden Mist Village. However, if you want to launch a war against another country in the future, you must obtain our approval. Such conditions are already quite favorable."
"The most important thing is that I will not force you to agree. If you refuse the invitation, I will find another ninja who agrees to it. The Hidden Mist Village is not short of ninjas who want to become Mizukage."
Zabuza said in a dark tone: "Are you so confident that you can deal with the Fourth Mizukage and the masked man? Even if you defeat the Fourth Mizukage and the masked man, you will not be able to identify the Mizukage."
"And the new Mizukage won't agree to your terms. You are too confident."
"Overconfident?"
Bai Ye smiled and continued, "If the hero who saved the village cannot become the Mizukage, then I can only say that I have chosen the wrong person. As for whether the Mizukage will default on his promise, I don't think the new Mizukage will reject my proposal."
"If I have the ability to deal with the masked man and the Mizukage, I have the ability to destroy the Hidden Mist Village."
Looking at Bai Ye's half-smile, Zabuza had a bad premonition in his heart. He didn't know whether he should accept Bai Ye's invitation and was faced with a difficult decision.
Bai Ye saw Zabuza's dilemma, put away his smile and said:
"Biwa Juzo and I will stay here for half a day. During this time, think carefully about whether you should continue to curl up in a dark corner and rot, or go out with me to overthrow the Mizukage and wield the sword of resistance."
After saying that, Bai Ye glanced at Biwa Juzang and left the cabin.
Biwa Juzo opened his mouth and wanted to say something to Zabuza, but after seeing Bai Ye's eyes, he followed him out of the cabin.
In just a few seconds, Haku and Zabuza were the only ones left in the dark wooden house.
Zabuza glanced at the two figures outside the house, then looked at Bai beside him, and said in a voice that only he could hear:
"Should I continue to hide in the corner and rot, or go with them to challenge the Mizukage and the masked man?"
