Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!
Chapter 42: The Hatred of the Third Mizukage
The Land of Water is located to the east of the Ninja Continent, on the vast blue ocean. Islands of all sizes are scattered throughout this isolated island country.
The Hidden Mist Village is located on the main island in the center. Due to the perpetual fog that covers the sky and the sun, both the lush forests and clear rivers are shrouded in haze, hence the name "Hidden Mist Village".
Compared to the Land of Lightning, which has a narrow strip of land connecting it to the Ninja Continent, the Land of Water is completely isolated from the continent.
This has created a geographical advantage for the Water Country that is unrivaled in the Ninja World. Whether it was the three major wars that the Ninja World experienced, or the earlier Warring States Period, the Water Country has preserved its heritage, and its inheritance has never been interrupted.
We can get some idea of this from the fact that the Hidden Mist Village has the largest number of bloodline limits in the ninja world.
However, everything has its pros and cons. The geographical advantage provides Kirigakure with a stable external environment, but it also limits the external expansion of Kirigakure.
The cake in one's hands cannot grow, but the number of people eating is increasing, which leads to internal unrest.
When the Third Mizukage took the throne, the white mist of the Hidden Mist Village finally turned into blood mist. Ninjas from the same village fought each other without mercy. The ruthless policy of killing all teammates in order to keep secrets turned this ninja village with a long history into a mess.
It was very difficult for them to defeat the Sand Village which was being bullied by Konoha and Iwagakure in turn. The opponent was also being attacked from both sides. The combat effectiveness of the Kirigakure's ninja army can only be described as funny.
The high-pressure environment has instead bred a large number of selfish Kirigakure ninjas.
They don't care about the development of Kirigakure, the life and death of their companions, or the living conditions of civilians. They only care about their own power and status.
The Third Mizukage's dominance was shaken by wave after wave of attacks.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen dared to defy and resist, the Hozuki family was worried, the Kaguya family was not afraid of death and was completely a powder keg, and the Mizunotsuki family was almost wiped out in the struggle following the Third Mizukage.
None of the younger generation of Kirigakure could wait calmly. They gathered their friends to weave wings and sharpen their knives against the Mizukage, waiting for the east wind to come so that they could put on the shadow robes.
The same is true for Yagura. Although he is only 1.4 meters tall, his heart has long flown to the high position of Mizukage.
A transaction is taking place on a lake outside the Hidden Mist Village.
"Is this Kirigakure's military deployment in the Land of Fire?"
In the thick fog, a ninja wearing a black cloak and a bull-head mask took the scroll thrown from the opposite side.
"Not bad, I added some ingredients, I think you will like it."
He couldn't tell whether they were men, women, young or old, but the information Aburame Ryoma received was verified to be correct every time.
Now that he can even get his hands on the front-line military deployment, this makes him even more curious about the identity of the mysterious man.
Could it be true, as he said, that he is the descendant of a family destroyed by the Mizukage, and exists to destroy the Kirigakure?
"What is it?"
"That is the secret of the Ice Escape of the Snow Clan to which I belong."
Without hearing the mysterious man's answer, a voice without any emotion sounded from behind Aburame Ryoma, like a cold wind in the snow and ice, without much noise, but chilling to the bone.
Aburame Ryoma's heart skipped a beat, and the black cloak suddenly expanded. Black insects flew out of it and fled in all directions.
"You are so ignorant that you still want to escape from me!"
The Third Mizukage stood motionless on the lake. The mist in the sky condensed into beautiful snowflakes, floating down on the lake. The surface of the lake froze around him.
The flying parasites were frozen into ice chips and fell on the lake surface before they could escape from the lake.
"Is this the Ice Release of the Third Mizukage?"
Aburame Ryoma's true form, hiding in the woods, was secretly frightened when a flying insect with half of its wings frozen and cracked flew back from a distance.
When the bug got closer, Aburame Ryoma discovered the transparent ice crystals remaining on it.
"not good!"
A cry of surprise rang out from the forest, and then icicles shot up from the forest like bamboo shoots, several feet taller than the trees.
Aburame Ryoma landed on a distant treetop, holding his injured shoulder, feeling half of his body numb. He knew that this might be his last mission.
Enduring the heart-freezing cold, he struggled to avoid the attacks of icicles and hid in the woods to buy time.
At least pass the information back.
"sucker Punch!"
A vast expanse of white fog swept across, covering the forest in front of us in a few breaths. When the fog dissipated, the original green disappeared, replaced by the translucent white of solid ice.
The ninja in the black cloak was forever buried under the ice.
"Do you know what the consequences are for betraying village secrets?"
The Third Mizukage stood on the lake like an ice sculpture. The ice under his feet seemed to have life and pressed towards the mysterious man on the other side like waves.
"I was just trying to lure out the rat that had sneaked into Kirigakure, and didn't I inform you in advance that I was old?"
The mysterious man was very afraid of the incoming ice waves. He retreated at a high speed and did not stop until he reached a huge rock on the shore. Then he grabbed the black robe on his body and waved it forward to block the scattered ice crystals and prevented a single ice crystal from falling in front of him.
Without the cover, the mysterious man was revealed to be just a "little kid" with yellow-green hair and purple eyes.
"If it weren't for this, would you still be standing and talking to me?"
The icy mist that enveloped the Third Mizukage dissipated, and he returned to his cold and aloof nobleman form.
The Kuju clan and the Xue clan have a close relationship and have made great efforts to help him ascend to the position of Mizukage, so he can't do too much.
Moreover, Yagura was a slippery person who ruthlessly held back, so he had no way to attack except by accusing him of a false crime.
But he couldn't do that. There were still many people working under him. These people were the political resources he left for his disciples. He couldn't let them feel disappointed now.
"I heard that the Scorch Release Master Yekura is seeking an alliance in Konoha. Lord Mizukage must pay attention to the movements of the Land of Fire."
Yagura seemed very concerned about Kirigakure's strategy and directed the topic towards Konoha.
"Konoha is not your concern. Since you are the one dealing with Ye Cang, I'll leave her to you. I want to see the results within a month."
"I will do my best to make the Burning Releaser disappear from this world."
After expressing his loyalty and seeing that the Mizukage had no intention of making things difficult for him, Yagura took a few steps back and disappeared into the woods.
After he left, a graceful figure landed beside the Third Mizukage, her red hair blooming in the white mist like a gorgeous flower.
"You see, Yagura is much more sinister than Mangetsu Kizuna."
The Third Mizukage whispered, his tone very gentle, not at all as cold and harsh as when he was talking to Yagura.
"Do you really want to choose him as the Fourth Mizukage?"
The extremely cruel confidentiality code has left Kirigakure badly scarred.
Logically speaking, Kirigakure should choose a Mizukage who can end it all and allow the village to recuperate.
"The blood mist cannot be changed overnight. It can only be changed when most of the Mist Ninjas can no longer tolerate it. My generation can't do it, and the next generation is still not ready.
Mingming, let Yagura stand in front as a target. When the abscess of the blood mist completely bursts, that will be the day when you soar into the sky and change the Hidden Mist."
The Mizukage looked up at the falling snowflakes, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if he saw a scene from the future.
The Blood Mist Policy began with the extremely strict confidentiality rules promulgated by the Second Mizukage. Since then, there has been no trust among the Mist Ninjas, and they have fallen into an inextricable quagmire of internal friction.
The Third Mizukage hated Hozuki Gengetsu all the time. He lost a move in the beginning and was tricked out of the village, so he gave up the position of Mizukage to someone else.
If Kirigakure was in his hands, he would definitely continue the policies of the first generation. How could it become like this?
By the time he slaughtered all the second-generation ninjas, the Hidden Mist Village had already been reduced to a mountainous area and was in a state of despair.
In other words, it was because his prestige and strength were high enough that he was able to suppress the voices of resistance and avoid a major chaos.
It would be a miracle if the Third Mizukage would treat the younger generation of Hozuki Mangetsu well. And Hozuki Mangetsu even wants to become the Fourth Mizukage. It is simply a dream.
If he fails to wipe out the Gui Lantern Clan, he will be giving these idiots who are bringing disaster to the country and the people an advantage.
"I still overestimated Luo Sha. A small army of Yagura can make him tremble in fear. Now it seems that only Konoha is strong enough. We can use their swords to eliminate the stubborn elements of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who maintain the blood mist.
As a teacher, I will give you room to grow. The master will assist you when the time comes. Whatever the first generation of Mizukage lost, we will take it back through your hands. "
"……I see."
The teacher's painstaking arrangement left Mei Terumi speechless.
It is easy to raise questions, but it is difficult to solve them.
She didn't know whether the path arranged by the teacher was correct, so she could only move forward step by step.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, she heard a violent cough beside her, and Mei Terumi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently stroked the Mizukage's back.
The scarlet blood mixed with ice particles was printed on the white silk handkerchief, which was very conspicuous.
Although he looks only in his twenties or thirties, the Third Mizukage is from the same generation as the Second Hokage. He can maintain his youthful appearance only because of the special properties of his Ice Release Chakra.
The tremendous pressure both inside and outside his body has caused him to overdraw his body over the years and he has long been overwhelmed.
"Teacher, go back and rest first!"
"No, I don't have much time. I need to prepare for the war against Konoha."
He had plenty of time to rest in the coffin, as he still had a lot of things to do.
All those who have caused him trouble over the years, as well as the remaining poison left by the Second Mizukage, will be buried with him.
