The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"Lord Mizukage, there are too many people here, so why don't we find a private place to discuss how to deal with the Hozuki clan?"

The master proposed it.

Yagura nodded.

"it is good."

Immediately afterwards, Yagura, Genji, and Ringo Mayuko, led by Uehara Osamu, headed to an empty forging room.

"Izumo, come here for a moment."

"Yes, Minister."

Enter the forging room.

"boom!"

The door closes.

Uehara Shu looked at Hozuki Izumo.

"Izumo, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"Your Excellency, Minister."

Hozuki Izumo hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Hozuki clan's actions are unforgivable, even though I am a member of the Hozuki clan and have their blood flowing through my veins."

"The Hozuki clan of today is no longer the same Hozuki clan of the past."

"The Hozuki clan has now fallen into depravity and decay."

"If you ministers believe me, I am willing to lead the charge in the operation to deal with the Hozuki clan!"

As he spoke, Hozuki Izumo seemed to recall the scene where he was ostracized by the entire clan because he had failed to meet their expectations when using the Raito.

"I thought I knew them very well."

"But I didn't expect them to be much more vicious than I had imagined."

"They actually did such a thing."

"This is absolutely unforgivable!"

"Moreover, things have already reached this point. If we don't take action, they will definitely do so."

"That would plunge the entire village into chaos."

"Our hard-won advantage over Konoha will crumble in an instant."

"Konoha will retaliate against us."

"Kumakugakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure will definitely not let this opportunity pass them by."

"We must act preemptively to suppress and annihilate the Hozuki clan."

Hozumo paused for a moment.

"There are a small number of people who are truly innocent."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

"The situation is already like this, there's no way to undo it."

"This is war."

"Simply right or wrong cannot be summarized."

"The Hozuki clan has become the enemy of the village."

"Therefore, killing them all at once is the best option for the village."

"Everything is for the village!"

Uehara Shu looked at Hozuki Izumo, and for a moment, he was somewhat dazed.

In the bamboo cat, Uehara Osamu saw the shadow of Uchiha Itachi.

At this moment, Uehara Shu seemed to see the shadow of the Taketori Neko in Hozuki Izumo.

Uehara Osamu hadn't expected that Hozuki Izumo would be so "radical".

Yagura looked at Hozuki Izumo with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Previously, when Hozuki Izumo stood up, Yagura felt that Hozuki Izumo simply wanted to sever ties with the Hozuki clan.

But now that Hozuki Izumo has personally proposed "exterminating the clan," Yagura's trust in Hozuki Izumo has increased significantly.

"Hozuki Izumo, you're right!"

Yagura smiled.

"As a member of the Hozuki clan, your vision is not limited to the clan. Even if a family member makes a mistake, you can analyze the problem fairly and objectively."

"Your capacity is limited to a village, not to a clan."

"Xiu, Elder Yuanshi."

Yagura looked at Uehara Osamu and Genji.

"Then it's decided."

"The Hozuki clan committed a great crime, that's one of them."

"Secondly, the Hozuki clan and the village can no longer coexist peacefully, and the village is at a critical juncture. At this time, we absolutely cannot allow the Hozuki clan to affect the village."

"The Hozuki clan must be exterminated!"

Hozuki Izumo's words prompted Yagura to announce the decision to exterminate the Hozuki clan ahead of time.

Yagura originally wanted to wait a bit longer.

Waiting for the remaining members of the Hozuki clan to make a "rebellion".

"Lord Mizukage, isn't wiping out the entire clan a bit too extreme?"

Uehara Osamu was naturally very dissatisfied with the Hozuki clan.

Uehara Shu would never forgive someone who tried to kill him.

The problem is that the Hozuki clan is a clan.

Not all members of the Hozuki clan made the decision and participated in the operation.

Like the Bamboo Clan, there are also innocent members in the Hozuki Clan.

Exterminating the entire clan is too severe.

"Xiu, you don't need to be soft-hearted."

"Moreover, this matter now involves the entire village."

"Only by annihilating the entire clan can this problem be solved."

"I have decided!"

Uehara Shu opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

At this moment, Yagura's state made Uehara Osamu vaguely feel that it was not just Yagura's will alone, but also mixed with the thoughts of others.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Yagura made a decision.

However, Master Yuan did not leave.

Instead, he immediately summoned all the key personnel of the village, including the leader of the secret service and the head of the mission department, to a meeting room he had arranged.

Uehara Osamu was thinking.

"Judging from the current situation, Yagura-senpai, or rather, Obito Uchiha who controlled Yagura-senpai, definitely wants the Hozuki clan to be wiped out and for Kirigakure to have an internal war."

"Obito Uchiha hated Kirigakure."

"We certainly won't let such an opportunity slip by."

This is why Uehara Osamu didn't suggest that Hozuki Izumo imitate the Taketori Neko (a mythical cat) to kill the "radical" members of the Hozuki clan, thus saving the lives of innocent people.

Later, the story of the Taketori Neko (a mythical cat) was recreated, highlighting how one person bore the sins, allowing innocent members of the Hozuki clan to continue living in Kirigakure.

Because Yagura was controlled by Obito Uchiha.

Everything about Yagura was transparent to Obito Uchiha.

If Uehara Osamu suggests that Hozuki Izumo do this, then Uchiha Obito will inevitably suspect Taketori Neko.

Therefore, the effectiveness of the cat-like creature infiltrating the Akatsuki organization would be greatly reduced.

It could even put the bamboo cat in danger.

Suddenly, Uehara Osamu thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that Obito Uchiha was secretly behind the Hozuki clan's actions?"

Before the meeting began, Master Yuan met with Uehara Shu privately.

"build"

When Uehara saw that Master Yuan was hesitant to speak, he immediately understood what Master Yuan wanted to say.

"Elder Yuan, are you trying to ask me what my stance is on dealing with the Hozuki clan?"

"Correct."

"If I said that I hate the entire Hozuki clan and want them to pay for their crimes in blood, what do you plan to do?"

Master Yuan remained silent for a while.

"That means we should carry out Lord Mizukage's orders. The Hozuki clan has indeed gone too far."

The Hozuki clan must be severely punished, a point that Master Gen agrees with.

But Yuan Shi felt that annihilating the entire clan was going too far.

No matter what, there are many innocent people among the Hozuki clan.

Moreover, the Hozuki clan is, after all, the family of Hozuki Gengetsu, the second Mizukage of Kirigakure.

There is a lot of affection between Yuan Shi and Hozuki Gengetsu.
