"I can infiltrate Kirigakure as an undercover agent, and with his help from within, lure him into the heart of the Land of Fire, where we can take him down on land!"

Zabuza nodded gravely.

"Mei Terumi is right, Kisame. I can cooperate with you. Let's go back to Kirigakure together and go undercover!"

Kaguya Kimijiro looked blankly at his Kirigakure companions, scratching his head: "I don't understand what you're saying."

"Was the Third Mizukage really that strong...?"

Zabuza sneered: "You don't even know anything about him, yet your Kaguya clan is thinking of rebelling?"

"This is ridiculous. If you launch an armed rebellion with this attitude, the only outcome will be the extermination of your clan. Even if you control the Corpse Bone Pulse, it will be useless..."

Kaguya Kimijiro scoffed and turned her head away.

They're completely clueless and nonsensical—that's the defining characteristic of the Kaguya clan!

"The strongest Mizukage who cannot be defeated as long as he is in the water?"

Qing Shui said with great interest, "Can someone tell me what this person is good at, that he has such a reputation in Kirigakure..."

As for the Third Mizukage, Aoshui really didn't know anything about him.

In the original timeline, this person was like a mystery; no one had ever seen him make a move, no one knew how he died, and not even his name was left behind.

Mei Terumi looked at Aomizu and said with a solemn expression:

“Thanks to my family, the elders in the clan once told me about his strength.”

"The Third Mizukage was once the bodyguard of the First Mizukage, Byakuren. He possessed powerful Ice Release ninjutsu and also had the bloodline of the Hozuki clan. He was proficient in Water Transformation Techniques and a series of secret Water Release techniques, such as the Hozuki clan's Great Water Arm Technique and Water Gun Technique. His Water Release skills were extremely high..."

"Ordinary physical attacks are ineffective against him, but his close-combat skills are exceptional..."

"Not only that, but near water, he can also use the Water Transformation Technique to absorb large amounts of water, forming a huge body like the chakra of a tailed beast, possessing the powerful strength to suppress the Three-Tails!"

Kaguya Kimijiro blinked. If the Third Mizukage was so strong, why would the old members of the Kaguya clan still think about armed rebellion?

If they're immune to physical attacks, how can the Corpse Bone Clan fight back?

Especially since it's located within Kirigakure, a place surrounded by water on all sides, wouldn't that be their home turf...?

Where does this confidence come from? Are we Kaguya's clan really brainless and only good at recklessly fighting?

Seeing Kaguya Kimijiro's bewildered expression, Aozumi smiled.

In the original timeline, all members of the Kaguya clan who fought against Kirigakure died, with only Kimimaro surviving. This might be related to the Third Mizukage's fighting style.

"That's right, and that's why the Third Mizukage launched a massive purge in Kirigakure, yet those ninja clans dared not unite..."

As a former minor leader of the Hidden Mist Anbu, Kisame clearly knew more:

"Lord Aokiji, the Third Mizukage wasn't the Three-Tails' jinchūriki, but all indications suggest he possesses the ability to communicate with the Three-Tails. I've sensed the Three-Tails' chakra within him before..."

"This is indeed a formidable opponent, Lord Qingshui. Although you are strong, you shouldn't take such a risk..."

Kisame took a deep breath and asked Aoshui for instructions:

“Zabuza and I are both ANBU of Kirigakure. We can pretend to be seriously injured and return to Kirigakure to deliver false information.”

"Set up a trap, ambush the Third Mizukage from within, and the other Hidden Mist ninja will be no threat..."

“I agree with Mei Terumi on this point. Kaguya Kimijiro’s idea of ​​directly attacking the Third Mizukage is too risky. I wanted to add something earlier, but I didn’t have time to say it.”

"As for the power of other ninja clans, I still maintain my opinion: do not borrow it. Only in this way can your will become the will of Kirigakure."

Zabuza knelt on one knee, his gaze resolute:

"Lord Seisui, please trust Kisame and me. We will definitely complete the mission and lure the Third Mizukage into the trap!"

Qingshui helped Zabuza and Kisame to their feet, shook his head slightly, and said in denial:

"Two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are dead, defeated soldiers in the war. If you return to Kirigakure, you may lose your lives..."

“I don’t doubt your loyalty, but I don’t want you to take such a risk.”

"I will not hesitate to use you, but I will refuse to suffer meaningless casualties."

Kisame and Zabuza exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming even more resolute, as if the will of fire were burning on their faces.

Indeed, Qing Shui is right.

Even if he and Zabuza return to Kirigakure with valuable intelligence, a ninja who fails in a mission has no value in living, especially in a wartime situation…

Deserters and losers deserve this kind of treatment.

Especially after Suigetsu Hozuki's death, the Third Mizukage, while barely believing the accusation of treason, would find it all very strange if this same act were to happen again...

There were only seven members of the Hidden Mist Ninja Swordsmen in total. Zabuza and Kisame went on two missions with them and three of them died. This is too unlucky and abnormal.

However, such returns are also extremely high.

If successful, the extremely troublesome Third Mizukage will be far from the water, making him easier for Aozumi to capture.

A true friend will die for his friend. Although Kisame and Zabuza had just felt warmth from Aoshui, they were already prepared to repay it with their lives!

In particular, Qing Shui explicitly stated—

He didn't want those two people to die; it was dangerous.

Kisame and Zabuza are not afraid of death. If their deaths are worthwhile and meaningful, they are willing to give their lives!

"Lord Qingshui, this is the best opportunity!"

"Lord Qingshui, please trust us!"

Zabuza and Kisame pleaded.

In their hearts, if Aozumi, who had once been their enemy, took over Kirigakure with a heart set on saving them, then the village's future would surely become better and better...

If that's the case, then what do two lives matter?

Qing Shui frowned and waved his hand: "Let me think about it for a while..."

Qingshui was calculating the fighting strength of the Third Mizukage.

According to Mei Terumi and Kisame, the Third Mizukage did indeed possess considerable strength.

Not only does it possess Ice Release, but it also has a unique application of Water Transformation Technique and can utilize the Three-Tails' chakra.

"A powerful Water Transformation Technique, Ice Release, an enhanced version of Hozuki Suigetsu and Haku?"

Qingshui analyzed:

"The ability to utilize the Three-Tails' chakra is somewhat similar to that of Yukimaru, who could control the Three-Tails in the original timeline. If someone possesses this ability, then I can understand why Kirigakure hasn't started training Jinchuriki..."

Overall, it's not an exaggeration to say that the Third Mizukage was considered the strongest by Kirigakure.

He is like a hybrid, combining the advantages of various Kirigakure ninjutsu.

Although in the current ninja world, the Third Hokage of each of the major hidden villages seems to be hailed as the strongest Hokage of all time.

The problem is, when it comes to the complexity of Water Release techniques and bloodlines, Qing Shui can only smile and say to everyone in the ninja world—

Come at me all at once...

Qing Shui coughed lightly and asked a question:

"What would happen if I killed the Third Mizukage with Water Release in front of the Hidden Mist ninja on the ocean?"

Mei Terumi smiled helplessly:

"If that's the case, then you can start preparing for the succession ceremony of the Mizukage."

Kisame and Zabuza scratched their heads, looking somewhat helpless.

As expected, no matter how intelligent and powerful Lord Qingshui is, he is still just a child with the mind of a teenager.

Killing the Mizukage on the ocean is still too outrageous.

But to make Aoshui happy, Kisame still tried his best to imagine that scene, grinning as he said:

"The Uchiha clan's robes are navy blue, and the Mizukage's divine robes are also dark blue; they actually match quite well..."

But Zabuza frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Qingshui, I know you are very skilled in the Mist Concealment Technique and ordinary Water Release techniques, but the Water Release technique mastered by the Third Mizukage is a secret technique that allows him to control and manipulate water, and it is exceptionally powerful..."

"In any case, you are an Uchiha who is skilled in Fire Release. Although it sounds wonderful, it's just something to think about!"

If we don't execute those with unyielding integrity, they'll be like upright ministers offering advice, their necks stiff with resentment.

Kisame nodded: "Lord Aoshui, what Zabuza said is exactly what I was thinking..."

Mei Terumi and Kimijiro Kaguya echoed, hoping that Aozumi would abandon this idea and not risk attacking the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses.

Qing Shui smiled:

"Alright, I've received your kind intentions. Bring me those two ninja swords; I have a plan."

"Does any of you know the code of the Hidden Mist?"

Qing Shui pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Although words can be used, codes are still more convincing."

Ayano raised her hand high and whispered, "Lord Aoshui, I am a member of the Cipher and Perception Team!"

"Very good, I'll give you credit for this. When we return to Konoha, I'll reward you and Kisame with a house in the Uchiha clan's territory."

Ayano's face flushed instantly, and she frantically waved her hands, "Kisame-san and I, no, no..."

Kisame's little shark eyes widened in surprise. How did this have anything to do with him?

But his lake-blue skin inexplicably turned red at that moment…

"Kisame, why is your face red?" Zabuza asked with ill intent.

"Radiant..." Qing Shui smiled, covering for Kisame, and handed the longsword "Sewing Needle" and the explosive sword "Flying Spray" to Ayano:

"Dip some blood from the hilt and write this on the blade—"

"Konoha has laid a large number of booby traps in the forest. We encountered an ambush, but the probe revealed that our forces were very weak. We could only use an excessive number of ninja tools to create a false impression and slow down our progress."

"We only need to launch a group attack, using a small team to clear the way with water magic, and we can break through their defenses directly."

"The Uchiha clan ninjas are on this battlefield, and ordinary ninjas will have a hard time dealing with them. We need the support of powerful water-style ninjas."

Ayano nodded and carefully relayed Aozumi's words on the blade using her own special code.

As long as there is a coordinated attack, the air force can demonstrate its bombing power.
