Chapter 340 Kisame and Obito

After hearing clearly the order given by the Master, Terumi Mei and Qing looked at each other and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

As ninjas under the protection of the Master, they knew very well what the Master meant by his words.

The Master tacitly allowed Zabuza to deal with the Fourth Hokage, and asked his people to contact Zabuza, which shows that the Master has completely given up on the Fourth Hokage Mizukage.

Back then, the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, was promoted by the Master.

If the Master had not been extremely disappointed with the actions of the Fourth Mizukage, he would not have issued such an order and personally intervened in the coup in the Hidden Mist Village.

But for people like them, Master Yuan’s disappointment was a good thing.

They had long been fed up with the actions of the Fourth Mizukage and believed that Karatachi Yagura was not worthy of the position of Mizukage.

However, they were different from those ninjas who dared to swing their swords at the Mizukage. They did not dare to offend the Mizukage directly, but hid under the protection of the master, silently waiting for the opportunity to come.

After all, as long as Master Yuanshi does not oppose the Mizukage's ideas, all their efforts will be in vain.

After revealing his thoughts, the Master looked a little tired. He waved his hand to signal Mei Terumi and Ao that they could leave. These two were elite jonin that he had trained for the Hidden Mist Village, and now it was time for them to stand on their own.

After leaving the elders' residence, Terumi Mei and Ao first looked behind them, then found a hidden place and began to discuss their meeting with the Master.

Mei Terumi asked the older Ao:

"Qing, should we contact Zabuza and Biwa Juzo immediately? If we contact them in advance, we might be targeted by the Anbu ninjas. If we don't contact them, it will be difficult for them to pose a threat to Kirigakure."

Qing pondered for a moment, then said: "Master Yuan has made it very clear that we cannot contact him openly, but we can send people to contact Zabuza. As for how to manipulate it specifically, it depends on you..."

"Mei Terumi, do you want to be a high-ranking official in Kirigakure? Or do you want to be the next Mizukage?"

Faced with the questions raised by Ao, Mei Terumi fell into deep thought. With her strong personality, she naturally wanted to become the Mizukage. She wanted to prove her ability and also wanted to protect this dire village.

But if she wants to gain enough credit to become the Mizukage, she must stand up to the Fourth Mizukage. Does she really have the strength to deal with the Fourth Mizukage now? Is the Fourth Mizukage really under control?

With Zabuza and Biwa Juuzou leading the way, is it necessary for him to take such a big risk?
Mei Terumi was a little hesitant. She couldn't give an answer immediately.

Seeing that Mei Terumi fell into deep thought, Qing sighed softly in his heart. Mei Terumi was still not decisive enough. If he wanted to lift Mei Terumi to the position of Mizukage, he needed to make more efforts.

However, he was not qualified to lecture Mei Terumi, as he lacked even more courage than Mei Terumi.

As someone who possesses the Byakugan bloodline, he should have seen that something was wrong with the Fourth Mizukage long ago, but he didn't even have the courage to enter the Mizukage building and could only seek protection from the Master.

After Mei Terumi and Ao left, Master Yuan also returned to the room.

Looking at the letter sent by Biwa Juzang, Yuanshi felt extremely melancholy. The strategic planning he had just shown in front of Terumi Mei and Ao seemed to have the future of the Hidden Mist Village completely in his hands.

But he was the only one in the entire Hidden Mist Village who knew that the Hidden Mist Village was about to fall into chaos.

The descendants of Senju and Uchiha are about to play a game here, and the Hidden Mist Village is the chessboard of the game, and the so-called Fourth Mizukage is just a chess piece.

In this chaotic situation, he didn't know where the future of the Hidden Mist Village would go.

……

night.

Zabuza, sensing something was wrong, returned to his hiding place early.

Inside the hiding place, Biwa Juzo was eating fruit leisurely, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. After hearing the footsteps behind him, he showed a harmless smile and looked at Zabuza.

Zabuza stared closely, as if trying to see something from Biwa Juzō. He felt that something was wrong with Biwa Juzō, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Having been stared at for a long time, Biwa Juuzou felt a little frightened. He turned his head and looked at Zabuza and said:
"Zabuza, how did you get today? How many people are willing to join our plan, or is it as difficult as the past two days?"

Hearing this, Zabuza shook his head and said:
"Today's situation is very strange. I invited the Mist Ninja to join the coup plan and the success rate increased several times. It's only been half a night and more than a dozen ninjas are willing to join the plan."

"I guess your letter to the Master has worked. We have the support of the Master."

Biwa Juzang looked at Zabuza and said:
"No need to guess, Master Yuanshi must have supported us and told these centrist ninjas through secret channels, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to join you."

Zabuza said in confusion:

"Since Master Yuanshi supports us, why don't you send someone to find us? We can confront the Fourth Mizukage face to face. It will be clear in front of everyone whether the Fourth Mizukage is being controlled or not. Even if the mastermind is nearby, he won't dare to interfere."

Biwa Juzo shook his head: "Master Yuanshi can't do this. This is related to the dignity of the Mizukage. Karatachi Yagura can be controlled, but the Fourth Mizukage must have a decent ending."

"If the news gets out that the Fourth Mizukage has been controlled by illusions for more than a decade, the Hidden Mist Village will become a joke."

"So, our status cannot be changed to regular status. We can only attack the Fourth Mizukage as rebel ninjas. Only in this way can we preserve the dignity of the Mizukage and the Hidden Mist Village to the greatest extent."

After hearing this, Zabuza's expression changed, and he said to Biwa Juuzou: "You mean, even if we get the support of Master Yuanshi, we can only deal with Mizukage as traitors. If our plan fails, we will only be spurned as traitors?"

Biwa Juzo nodded slightly, and while looking at Zabuza, he said: "Before setting foot on the land of Water Country, I had already made this preparation, and you should have made the same preparation as me."

For Biwa Juzo, this trip to Kirigakure is his final explanation to Kirigakure.

If he could help the village get out of the blood mist policy, he and the Hidden Mist Village would no longer owe each other anything, and he could devote himself to the cause of Akatsuki without any scruples.

If unfortunately he died in the Hidden Mist Village, he would have only fulfilled his duty as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and died in his hometown.

As for whether the Hidden Mist Village can get out of the blood mist, Biwa Juzo has never worried about it. The Akatsuki organization will definitely fulfill its words.

Zabuza pulled out his kunai, pointed at Biwa Juuzou's nose and said, "When I tried to assassinate the Mizukage last time, I was prepared to die. I will prove to you that I am more suitable to be a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen than you, and more suitable to be the master of the beheading sword."

"You've got your eyes on the beheading sword?"

Biwa Juzang frowned slightly, then said in a dark tone: "For your courage in swinging the sword at the Mizukage, whether your action succeeds or fails, I will give you the beheading sword."

……

at the same time.

Obito, the mastermind behind the Hidden Mist Village, was sitting in the Mizukage's seat to handle official business. The short figure standing next to him was none other than the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi. Since using the Mangekyō illusion to control Yagura Karatachi, Obito has appeared in the Mizukage building from time to time, replacing Yagura Karatachi and playing the role of the Fourth Mizukage.

On the one hand, it is to check the stability of the illusion and prevent the Fourth Mizukage from escaping control.

If the Fourth Mizukage broke free from control, it would be very troublesome for him. Back then, he relied on the Kamui's ability to kill with the first move and instantly solved the Fourth Mizukage.

If the Fourth Mizukage were to escape control again, things would not be so simple.

On the other hand, it was also to enjoy the power and relax his tense expression. Over the years, he had been active in the ninja world under the identity of the masked man Uchiha Madara, and often forgot his dreams and who he was.

In addition, that bastard Bai Ye always ruined his plans and took away his credit, which made him gnashed his teeth at Bai Ye, but he could do nothing about it.

The reason was very simple, he was unable to balance Bai Ye's ability.

Bai Ye is closer to Nagato who possesses the Rinnegan than he is. Bai Ye also knows the plan of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Bai Ye even uses Itachi's means to balance his Kamuyance.

His only advantage over Bai Ye is that he has Uchiha blood.

If Bai Ye was still an Uchiha, perhaps Uchiha Madara would not have chosen himself but Bai Ye. After all, from all aspects, Bai Ye was a superior replacement for himself.

With all these circumstances combined, he could only indulge himself when he stayed in the Hidden Mist Village.

Sitting in the seat of the Mizukage, Obito casually flipped through the intelligence scrolls, picked one at random and began to review it, and then gave his approval.

The first thing is the policy of purge of the bloodline ninja clan.

Many jonin of the Hidden Mist Village believed that the bloodline family had been completely weakened and no longer had the ability to threaten the order of the Hidden Mist. Although the bloodline ninjas might be out of control, they were still an important fighting force of the village.

It's time to cancel the purge order and get the village back to normal.

Faced with such a request, there was no way Obito would agree. He still remembered what the Bloodline Family did to the Uchiha during the Third Ninja World War, not to mention that the Hidden Mist Village had killed Rin.

Just based on this reason, he could not forgive the Hidden Mist Village.

The Hidden Mist Village must be kept in a weak state at all times in order to keep him in a happy mood.

Are these jonin under the protection of the Yuanshi too arrogant? If he hadn't considered the Yuanshi's great influence, he would have attacked the Yuanshi long ago.

The second piece of news came from the Kirigakure Anbu, saying that the Kirigakure Anbu had failed in their hunt for the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao.

As for Obito, the failure of the Kirigakure Anbu was already anticipated by him, and it was he who prevented the Kirigakure Anbu from capturing Yugao.

It is better for the Kirigakure Jinchuriki to stay outside the village than inside the Kirigakure.

If a Jinchūriki in the Hidden Mist Village disappears, it will definitely attract the attention of all the Mist Ninjas, but the disappearance of a Jinchūriki outside the village will cause much less attention.

These are the results of his careful planning. He is the biggest contributor to the Moon Eye Project.

The third piece of news is related to Konoha and Iwagakure. After half a year of war, both Konoha and Iwagakure are showing signs of being unable to continue fighting, and peace talks are possible at any time.

After seeing this news, Obito's expression changed.

It’s not because Konoha and Iwagakure ended the war prematurely, but because this battlefield was guided by Byakuya. The time when Iwagakure attacked the Fire Country was so close to the Uchiha Night, it must be related to Byakuya.

He felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that Bai Ye did a better job than him in the Moon Eye Project.

Why is it that every time he surpasses a genius, there is always another genius appearing in front of them, as if it is some kind of curse?

And Bai Ye’s contribution to the Moon Eye Project is more than just that.

Obito also heard that the Sand Village had recently replaced its Kazekage, and that the Red Sand Scorpion who sat on the throne was Byakuya's subordinate.

In addition, Bai Ye also collected the Two-Tail and the Seven-Tail, and had some knowledge of many small countries in the ninja world.

Sometimes Obito even doubted whether Byakuya's idea of ​​collecting the nine tailed beasts, creating tailed beast weapons and unifying the ninja world was a lie.

After all, even without the Ten-Tails, Byakuya still secretly controlled more than a quarter of the land in the Ninja World.

Obito became more and more angry the more he thought about it, so he decided not to think about it anymore. No matter how much Byakuya contributed to the Moon Eye Project, in the end, it would not be Byakuya who would take away the fruits of victory, but himself.

So what if Byakuya has mastered the tailed beasts and the Rinnegan?
Only he and Uchiha Madara knew the secret technique to control the Ten Tails. Once he controlled the Ten Tails, everything Byakuya did would only benefit himself.

Knock, knock, knock...Accompanied by several knocks on the door, Obito frowned.

Let the Fourth Mizukage hide behind the cabinet first, then Obito used the transformation technique to become the Fourth Mizukage, and then said to the outside: "What do you want from me?"

"It's me, the Yondaime-sama."

Hearing the familiar voice, Obito opened the door and saw a ninja who was as tall as an iron tower and looked like a shark. He said slowly: "What's the matter? Kisame?"

The shark-faced creature in front of him is called Kisame.

He is Obito's most important subordinate in the Hidden Mist Village and the only Hidden Mist ninja who knows his identity. The thought that Obito puts into Kisame is no less than that of Uchiha Itachi.

He started paying attention to Kisame when Kisame was still under the command of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon.

After witnessing Kisame killing his superiors, subordinates, and loved ones in order to carry out his mission, Obito confirmed that Kisame would be one of the most useful ninjas under his command.

After taking the initiative to reveal his identity, he also gained the loyalty of Kisame.

For Kisame, the reason for being loyal to Obito is very simple.

He doesn't care who he is loyal to, he always needs someone to be loyal to, no matter if that person is the Fourth Mizukage or the masked man with a mysterious identity.

In this world full of lies and betrayal, all he needs to do is carry out his mission seriously.

After a moment's silence, Kisame said to Obito, "Fourth-generation sama, the people from the Master's side are moving around quite frequently. I wonder if they have some conspiracy against you?!"
