Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

After sneaking into Kirigakure Village, Zabuza and Loquat Juzo did not go to the Mizukage Building immediately.

After the assassination failed, Zabuza realized the gap between him and the Fourth Mizukage. Even if he teamed up with Loquat Juzo this time, he still could not be the Fourth Mizukage's opponent.

If you want to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage and find the mastermind behind it, you must find more collaborators.

Loquat Juzo didn't have so many ideas. He just came to cooperate with Zabuza. In his mind, the only people who could save Kirigakure Village were the Akatsuki organization and Nagato and Byakuya.

After casually finding a stronghold left behind, after changing their clothes, the two came to Kirigakure Street.

Before taking official action, they need to inquire about information in the village to see if they can collect useful intelligence to prepare for the next action.

Walking on the familiar streets, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar villagers and ninjas, Zabuza and Loquat Juzo's expressions gradually darkened.

Kirigakure Village is not a poor ninja village, but the life of the villagers here is very bad.

All the reasons were the blood mist policy promulgated by the Fourth Mizukage and the purge against the blood successor family. Because of the purge, many innocent ninjas and civilians were implicated.

Among them are many ordinary members of the Blood Successor Family, and even ninjas related to the Blood Successor Family.

Even in the later stages of the Great Purge, even ninjas who had nothing to do with the Blood Successor Family could use this excuse to attack each other without any punishment.

In this environment, all the Kirigakure villagers lived cautiously, for fear of getting involved with the blood successor ninja.

It was precisely because of this environment where everyone was in danger that Juzo Juzo chose to leave Kirigakure Village, and Zabuza chose to assassinate Mizukage and overthrow the rule of Yagura Goju.

It has been a long, long time since the great purge.

Zabuza and Loquat Juuzou thought that the Fourth Mizukage would be more restrained, but they did not expect that the current situation was no different from that then. The Fourth Mizukage still issued orders to hunt down the blood successor ninja, and the Kirigakure villagers were still living in panic.

After wandering around the street, Zabuza and Loquat Juzo returned to their temporary base.

Recalling the sallow-looking villagers on the street, and the ordinary people living and working in peace and contentment in the Land of Fire, Zabuza clenched his fists and said:

"Loquat Juuzang, after we defeat Goju Yagura this time, we must let the Kirigakure villagers live the life of the Fire Country, and we cannot let the villagers continue to fall into panic."

Loquat Juuzang nodded, but what he was thinking about was the scene in the Rain Hidden Village, so he said: "I think it is better for them to live in the Rain Hidden Village, which is the real holy place in the ninja world.

"Ame Hidden Village is the holy land of the ninja world?"

After hearing this, Zabuza showed doubts in his eyes and said to Loquat Juuzang: "I don't know why you joined the Rain Hidden Village and what happened to you in the Rain Hidden Village."

"But as far as I know, the rule of Sanshouyu Hanzo in Yuyin Village is more cruel than ours in Kirigakure Village. The climate and environment there are not suitable for human survival. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hell on earth."

Loquat Juuzang shook his head:

"That was all in the past. Ever since the Akatsuki organization overthrew Hanzo and took over the Hidden Rain Village, the Country of Rain has become different. Ninjas and ninjas are like family members, and there is not much barrier between them and ordinary people."

"The relationship between ninjas is like family? Isn't that what Konoha preaches?"

Zabuza dismissed this and continued: "Can ninjas trained in such a greenhouse environment really be able to accept the baptism of war? I'm afraid their legs will weaken as soon as they go to the battlefield."

Loquat Juzo looked at Zabuza and explained:

"Of course the Akatsuki organization's ninjas can't compete with the Mist ninjas, but they don't need to go through cruel assessments, and they won't be abandoned due to lack of ability during the mission."

"Furthermore, the Akatsuki organization has also developed many new weapons, which are enough to give genin the strength of chuunin and even ANBU ninja. They use chakra technology to make up for their own shortcomings."

Facing Loquat Juuzang, the 'Akatsuki Organization', Zabuza didn't know what to say.

If the Akatsuki organization was really as powerful as Loquat Juuzang said, would it still be hiding in the small Rain Country? He has long stood up to compete for the position of the five great ninja villages.

As for Bai Ye's statement that he wanted to make Kirigakure Village a vassal of the Akatsuki organization, he naturally took it as a joke.

Of course, if Zabuza knew that the Akatsuki organization had controlled the northern border of the Ninja Continent and was secretly controlling the Kingdom of Wind, he would probably have a different mentality.

However, after hearing about the way things get along within the Akatsuki organization, Zabuza was still a little envious.

While he was in the ninja school, he also made many friends, but they all died in the graduation examination, and he was the one who killed them.

After collecting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Zabuza sighed towards Loquat Juzo:

"Okay, okay, just think that what you say is true, but no matter how good the Akatsuki organization is, it has nothing to do with Kirigakure Village. We should still take care of our own affairs."

"Didn't your Byakuya-sama ask you to assist me? At least during this period, you are still a Kirigakure ninja."

Now it was Loquat Juuzang's turn to be speechless. That was indeed what he thought.

…

After chatting for a while, Zabuza and Loquat Juzo left the hiding place and each began to prepare to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage.

Zabuza arrived at the residential area and quietly found his former comrades and subordinates.

When they saw Zabuza, these ninjas were startled for a moment, then sighed softly and asked about Zabuza's experience these days and why he wanted to assassinate Mizukage, with a tone of regret.

After all, with Zabuza's talent, it is very easy to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are already high-level officials in Kirigakure Village. If they stay around for more than ten years, they will have the opportunity to become Mizukage candidates. It will not be too late to consider becoming Mizukage by then.

Zabuza didn't waste any time, he directly stated his doubts about Mizukage and extended the invitation.

When they heard that the Fourth Mizukage had not left the Mizukage Building all year round, perhaps because he was controlled by others, these people fell silent, and then looked up at Zabuza and gave their own answers.

"Zabuza-sama, what you say makes sense. We also doubt the identity of Mizukage-sama, but I'm sorry that we can't follow you to overthrow the Mizukage. This is a plan that will lead to death!"

This is what most ninjas say. They doubt the Fourth Mizukage and want to know the truth.

But it is impossible for them to risk their lives to follow Zabuza and overthrow the Fourth Mizukage. The Fourth Mizukage is not only the strongest ninja in the village, but also the three-tailed Jinchuuriki.

So what if he knew that the Fourth Mizukage was controlled?

Can they think about the mastermind who controlled the Fourth Mizukage? Who can guarantee that the next Mizukage will not be controlled by a mysterious person?

However, even if they were asked to stop and relieve Zabuza, they couldn't do it.

Perhaps it was because they were disappointed with the Fourth Mizukage, or perhaps they were hoping that a hero would appear and save them from the heat of water.

Only a handful of people are willing to follow Zabuza and work with Zabuza to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage.

For a day and a night, Zabuza found a dozen ninjas who were capable of participating in this matter, but there were only two or three ninjas who agreed to assassinate Mizukage with Zabuza.

These two or three people are all ninjas who have no worries, or in other words, their only concern is the village.

These people were more than capable of assassinating powerful people in great powers, but they had no chance at all to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage. After returning to the temporary stronghold, Zabuza's will was much lowered.

Zabuza began to doubt whether his plan could succeed this time and whether he really needed Byakuya's help.

At this time, Loquat Juzo also returned to the temporary stronghold.

Zabuza looked at Loquat Juuzang, and was a little curious about how many ninjas Loquat Juuzang had attracted, and asked: "Loquat Juuzang, you are one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. There should be a lot of ninjas who responded to Qi's call."

"How many jounin have you found in total, and how many people are willing to follow you."

Loquat Juuzang shook his head, and then said: "I didn't find any jounin. I just followed Lord Baiye's instructions and went to find the retired Master Yuanshi."

"Master Yuanshi?"

After hearing the name Genshi, Zabuza's expression changed, and he immediately said, "What are you doing with that old guy? He can hardly walk. Can you help us deal with the Fourth Mizukage?"

Loquat Juzo looked at Zabuza and suspected that Zabuza was a fool:

"With the support of Genshi-sama, although the wavering Jonin in the village may not necessarily support us, they will not be an obstacle to us. Do you really think there will be many ninjas following you?"

Loquat Juzo's words touched Zabuza's sore spot.

His appeal is indeed not comparable to that of the Yuanshi. If he had been supported by the Yuanshi back then, he might have really been able to overthrow the Mizukage.

Thinking of this, Zabuzhan said firmly:

"That old guy does still have some effect, but it's been so many years since the Fourth Mizukage issued the order for the purge, and I haven't seen the old guy step in to stop it."

"I suspect that the old guy deliberately wants to destroy Kirigakure Village...!"

Hearing this, Loquat Juzo also somewhat agreed. If the Yuanshi had stood up earlier to stop the Fourth Mizukage, the village would not be in this situation.

But then I thought about it, if Master Yuan really stood up, he might have been killed by the mastermind behind the scenes.

After pondering for a moment, Loquat Juuzang said: "I believe in Lord Bai Ye's judgment. If we can get the support of Lord Yuanshi, this plan will definitely go smoothly."

Zabuza looked at Loquat Juuzou, suddenly remembered something, and said, "We are asking Master Genshi for help, so it shouldn't be counted as accepting Byakuya's help."

Loquat Juuzang shook his head: "Of course not, Lord Bai Ye is not such a fussy person."

Zabuza nodded: "That's good, so as not to have to argue with Byakuya later, let's contact others while waiting for Genshi's reply."

…

Inside the elder's mansion.

After reading the scroll sent by Loquat Juzo, Yuanshi sighed softly and looked at the location of the Mizukage Building, his eyes full of melancholy.

The content recorded in the scroll is not much, but the amount of information is very large.

It records in detail the policies promulgated by the Fourth Mizukage over the years, as well as various doubts about the Fourth Mizukage, and finally gives the guess that the Fourth Mizukage may have been controlled by genjutsu.

Faced with this speculation, Master Yuan did not deny it.

In fact, he had long suspected that something was wrong with the Fourth Mizukage. Since the Fourth Mizukage became the Mizukage, he rarely left the Mizukage Building and rarely came to visit him.

Obviously before he became Mizukage, Goju Yagura always came to visit him for various reasons.

He also knew that Goju Yagura wanted to get his support so that he could gain a greater advantage in the process of running for the Mizukage.

However, he was very satisfied with Goju Yagura and believed that this young man could lead the village to glory.

But I don't know from which day, Goju Yagura stopped visiting him and began to issue incredible orders one after another.

Stop visiting yourself and understand that you are already old.

After being used as a tool for the upper-level Mizukage, it was normal for him to be abandoned. He was happy to be clean and could truly live a leisurely retirement life.

But the policy enacted by Goju Yagura went too far.

Although the blood mist policy is the tradition of Kirigakure Village, the capriciousness of the blood family has also shaken Kirigakure's stability.

Obviously, only by supporting one blood step family to suppress another blood step family can the Mizukage's authority be guaranteed, but he had to deal with all the blood step families and start a great purge.

After several years of purging, the blood step family in the village has been cleansed. Kirigakure will no longer be threatened by the blood step family. However, the village's vitality has also been severely damaged. It will take at least ten years to recover. recover.

During this period, if other shinobi villages take advantage of the situation, it is difficult to say whether Kirigakure Village exists.

As the policy continued, more and more Jonin came to him to complain. He also sheltered many persecuted Jonin, and gradually became suspicious of the Fourth Mizukage.

For example, the Fourth Mizukage was stimulated by something, so he issued such a cruel order.

In other words, the Fourth Mizukage may be a spy for other ninja villages, so he issued these orders to weaken the Kirigakure Village. It is even said that the Fourth Mizukage is controlled by genjutsu.

But doubts were doubts, and it was impossible for him to attack Mizukage before he had enough evidence.

Firstly, it was because he recommended the fourth Mizukage, and secondly, because Mizukage's status was supreme, although due to his seniority, he had a higher say in the village than Mizukage.

But the power of the elders cannot be higher than that of Mizukage, nor can they lead people to overthrow Mizukage.

Once he takes action against the Mizukage and establishes the habit of elders interfering with the Mizukage, the Kirigakure Village will be in chaos and worse than now.

Therefore, even after reading this letter, he still could not convince himself to take action against the Fourth Mizukage.

The most we can do is to take in some ninjas who are dissatisfied with Mizukage and let them try to deal with Mizukage. I hope they can get close to the fourth generation Mizukage and figure out the secrets of Mizukage.

Just as Master Yuan was making a decision secretly, Master Yuan suddenly picked up the scroll, and his eyes instantly became solemn.

There seems to be some writing recorded in the interlayer of the scroll.

After opening the mezzanine, Genshi took a deep breath, and his face became gloomy and uncertain. It was a piece of information that was more important than Mizukage being controlled. It recorded in detail the major events that had happened in Kirigakure over the years.

At the end of the information, a mark that has disappeared in the ninja world for many years appears.
