(Suigazan Fuguki: I realized something was wrong with the Mizukage back then, but I didn't expect him to be dealt with first.)

Kisame frowned as he looked at the name, his face showing displeasure. This fake world was disgusting.

He was executed for betraying intelligence, yet he talks as if he died for a greater cause. What a hypocrite.

Looking at the elder who was lost in his memories and remained silent.

Everyone: "......" And then what? Well, tell me!

Well, we can't expect the old man to come to his senses again. It's already quite an achievement that he even came here to sit for a while.

Mr. Tomikawa smiled kindly, "How about the future Mizukage talks about the Blood Mist policy, and we can talk about the Third Mizukage after the Elder finishes his recollection?"

Chojuro blushed for a moment when he was suddenly called out. He smiled shyly and was about to decline when he suddenly remembered what the Mizukage had told him earlier.

Instantly, his gaze hardened. He took a deep breath, stared intently at the camera, and nodded solemnly, "No problem."

“Not bad, Chojuro, you’ve become both handsome and composed,” Mei Terumi said, lifting Chojuro’s chin with her finger.

The teasing gesture made Chojuro's ears turn bright red.

"The Blood Mist Policy is a collective term for a series of cruel policies implemented by Kirigakure during that era. The most famous of these was the rule that students had to kill their comrades in pairs during the Ninja Academy graduation exam."

As these topics were discussed, Chojuro became incredibly serious, even exuding a more imposing aura.

(Hashirama Senju: Killing his comrades?)

(Madara Uchiha: Kirigakure is a disgusting place.)

Having had contact with the three Mizukage, he felt deeply about it.

(Tobirama Senju: It's probably to sever the ninja's emotions. If a ninja is controlled by emotions, he will have a weakness. However, this method is too cruel, and in some ways, it's also foolish.)

They nurtured so many outstanding students, and then just killed them without warning.

Isn't this a waste of educational resources?

. . . . . .

"Teacher, is there really such a rule?" Xiao Li looked at Teacher Kai in confusion, and his teacher sighed and nodded.

"Yes, there is. According to intelligence, the Mizukage only recently ended his rule over the Blood Mist Village." This is probably because the Fifth Mizukage took over and implemented a series of reforms.

"How could this be?" Tenten found it hard to believe; this was something that would never happen in Konoha.

“So, being able to live in Konoha is already pretty good,” Kai said, giving a thumbs up and showing his bright white teeth. “Although Konoha has its problems, it’s definitely better than places like Kirigakure.”

"However, it seems that the ninja graduation exam system was changed more than ten years ago because of that Zabuza Momochi."

"What did that guy up there who was talking do?" Neji asked, puzzled.

"He killed all of the more than one hundred students who took the graduation exam at the same time."

"What?!" The three students' pupils constricted in surprise.

Xiao Li: "More than a hundred people?"

Tian Tian: "Still from the same period?"

Neji: "This is truly insane."

"But as far as I know, the young people of Kirigakure all regard Zabuza as a hero."

"Hero? Why is killing more than a hundred people a hero?" Lee and Tenten didn't quite understand, but Neji caught a glimpse of one of the reasons.

Kai explained, "Of course, it's because the rule about killing your classmates during the graduation exam was forced to be abolished after that."

"In some ways, he is indeed a hero, but personally, while I don't quite agree with his methods, I also admire him."

He chuckled, then immediately sprang into action, full of energy, and did a handstand. "Is this what youth is? Hehe, let's walk upside down against the setting sun!!!"

Li responded very positively to his teacher, Tian Tian, ​​who was still not fully recovered from the incident.

Why must we save some people while killing others?

Tenten, still a child and having only been a ninja for a short time, didn't quite understand.

Neji remained silent with a furrowed brow, a dark emotion flashing in his eyes, and unconsciously reached up to touch the headband on his forehead.

Beneath the forehead protector was an ugly mark, the mark of a caged bird.

If it could free more people from being branded as caged birds... his thoughts drifted into darkness.

"Neji, Neji—seriously, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and go, or they'll disappear from sight!"

Awakened by Tenten's words, Neji was stunned for a moment before quickly shaking his head and running after Guy and Lee with Tenten.

If he does that, he'll lose everyone.

The female host's expression also turned serious. "Yes, it's described in detail in the documentary."

"Yesterday we were good friends who ate together, slept together, and shared our dreams. Today we have to fight each other. This kind of system is really terrible."

“Ah, it’s a very inhumane rule,” Chojuro nodded. “Although I haven’t experienced it myself, I’ve heard from my seniors that people who have gone through that kind of test become very terrifying.”

"The purpose of this rule is to kill one's superfluous emotions and make oneself a complete tool for killing. Such a ninja can be invincible to some extent."

"but......."】

Chapter 31 Demi: I've got Uchiha trypophobia!

Chojuro's gaze suddenly turned serious. "Humans cannot be completely reduced to tools. The only thing a ninja can gain from killing their comrades is endless suffering."

"After losing love, your heart feels empty."

Mr. Fu Chuan nodded. "I heard this policy change was because of one person?"

"Yes," Chojuro's eyes suddenly filled with admiration as he spoke of that person, "it was Mr. Momochi Zabuza, the second wielder of the broken sword, the Executioner's Blade."

"He is undoubtedly a hero."

[Host: "Besides the Ninja Academy graduation exam, are there any other cruel rules?"]

"Of course, there are many other reasons. Failure on a mission means suicide. Becoming a rogue ninja means being relentlessly hunted down by the pursuing ninja forces until death, and having your head taken back to the village to prevent any information from leaking."

"They also refuse entry to all outsiders, including many merchants who bring convenience to the lives of the Kirigakure ninja."

"The movement of ninjas is also strictly controlled, generally more so than the other four great nations."

The explanation of Kirigakure's various Blood Mist policies lasted for about an hour.

After hearing this, even Uchiha Sasuke, who hated the upper echelons of Konoha to the core, felt that being a ninja in Kirigakure was too miserable.

No one is allowed to go out except for mission-related matters. If discovered, they will be executed immediately, whether it's for tourism or finding food. There is no room for negotiation.

Once the mission is complete, you must return to the village immediately. Anyone found lingering outside the village for reasons other than those related to the mission will be killed.

If outsiders are found entering the village, drive them away. If driving them away doesn't work, kill them!

If a ninja talks to someone from another village, regardless of the reason, kill them!

In short, the various strict regulations that made life feel suffocating were actually implemented in Kirigakure for such a long time.

In some ways, the guys from Kirigakure are pretty good.

With this level of psychological resilience...

"Luckily, I'm not a ninja from Kirigakure," a familiar voice suddenly rang out on the left path.

Sasuke turned his head and saw a certain loser whose whiskers were twitching in terror.

"you......"

"Sasuke..."

The two spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time, snorting coldly and turning their heads away.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

"..."

The two walked side by side in tacit understanding, neither of them uttering a word, as if they were competing to see who could hold their breath longer.

"Anosa..." Naruto suddenly stopped as he walked into the bustling central street of Konoha Village, scratched his whiskers, and glanced at him furtively. "Want to go get some ramen?"

"Um..." Sasuke answered hesitantly, "I... I'll treat you."

"Huh???" Naruto suddenly looked terrified. "Are you Sasuke? You're not possessed by some kind of ghost, are you?"

As she spoke, she leaned forward to examine his face closely, but Sasuke slapped her away forcefully.

"Don't forget it."

"Ah, I want it! I want it!!!"

The two seemed to have suddenly made up and walked into Ichiraku Ramen together.

. . . . . .

Mr. Fuchuan suddenly asked, "I once lived in the Land of Water for a period of time."

"We've noticed that the bloodline ninjas there are ostracized by ordinary people. Mr. Chojuro, could you explain why?"

“To say it’s rejection is an understatement,” Chojuro said. “To be precise, it’s disgust, the kind of hatred that makes you want the bloodline limit ninja to die.”

There's a reason why ordinary people see bloodline ninjas as a disaster and a misfortune.

"A long-standing civil war once raged within Kirigakure."

"In frequent wars, bloodline limit ninjas inflict the greatest harm on ordinary people, and they have always been the object of contention between ninjas from different factions. It can be said that wherever bloodline limit ninjas appear, there will be competition, competition will lead to battle, and battle will result in bloodshed and sacrifice."

Tomikawa nodded. "I see. That's why ordinary people see bloodline ninjas as demons."

"Sigh~~" Naruto thought of Haku while eating ramen.

Sasuke glanced at him. "Isn't the ramen good?"

"How could that be? I'd like another bowl!"

"......" Don't act recklessly just because someone is treating you!

. . . . . .

"civil war?"
