Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 64 The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi

Akihara Kagura makes a good point.

The Mizukage of Kirigakure wouldn't do something so trivial.

The Hokage of Konoha spends most of his time in the Hokage Building handling official business, and the Mizukage must be extremely busy every day. How could they possibly have time to drift at sea every day to inspect ships?

However, Kakashi Hatake believed that even a Jonin from Kirigakure might not be someone they could easily defeat in the unfavorable combat environment at sea.

If you fail to kill your opponent and they escape, you'll be in trouble.

Akihara Kagura's Wood Release technique is weakened to some extent at sea. Even if she could use the Wood Dragon Technique, such a large commotion would definitely attract the attention of Kirigakure.

"The world of ninjas is inherently dangerous."

Akihara Kagura rarely spoke seriously, but his next sentence revealed his true nature: "If all else fails, we can just turn back. Anyway, when we set off, Lord Danzo went to see the Third Hokage. I reckon the whole ninja world will soon be spreading the word about Obito Uchiha's traitorous ninja arrest warrant. He can't stay hidden any longer; they'll find him sooner or later."

"That Danzo Shimura guy is really something..."

Kakashi Hatake felt somewhat helpless, realizing the urgency of the situation.

"I'm going to find a boat."

Itachi Uchiha used his Sharingan to hypnotize and control the captain of a ship, and then carried the three of them towards the Land of Water.

Under normal circumstances, the Mizukage of Kirigakure is indeed not that free, unless this Mizukage is not the one who truly holds power.

Unfortunately.

The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura Karatachi, is now merely a pawn controlled by others.

The Land of Water.

Inside the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

Obito Uchiha put his mask back on, sat in the position of the Fourth Mizukage, and held a stack of information on Kirigakure ninjas, slowly selecting the pieces he wanted.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, stood beside Obito Uchiha, as quiet as a wooden statue, seemingly oblivious to Obito's actions.

During the war, Kirigakure implanted the Three-Tails into Rin Nohara's body, which directly led to Rin's choice to be killed by Kakashi. In addition, since the village was isolated from the ninja world and possessed two tailed beasts, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, Obito Uchiha simply controlled the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure and used the Mizukage's influence to control the entire village.

Many years ago, Kirigakure believed that only those who emerged from bloodshed were strong, and even the graduation exams at the Ninja Academy involved infighting.

This examination method was finally ended when a student named Zabuza Momochi killed all the graduating students that year.

however…

The Hidden Mist Village remains unchanged as the "Village of Blood Mist," with superiors being oppressed by those above them, leading to the implementation of cruel and high-pressure management policies for subordinates.

The Water Kingdom is also rife with internal conflicts.

Within the Land of Water, the Kaguya clan, who pride themselves on their power, are cruel and warlike. They never obey the orders of Kirigakure and indiscriminately slaughter ordinary civilians, causing the entire Land of Water and even the ninjas of Kirigakure to despise bloodline ninjas.

Obito Uchiha didn't bother with it.

After Obito Uchiha took control of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, he never considered governing Kirigakure. He only used the village as a temporary place to store the Three-Tails and Six-Tails. Occasionally, he would search for powerful ninjas in Kirigakure to use as pawns and helpers in the future Eye of the Moon Plan.

For Obito Uchiha, Kirigakure was the source of Rin's death. It was already good enough that he didn't destroy the village; how could he possibly let it prosper?

the most important is…

Obito Uchiha wasn't very good at these things either...

"Hmph, another bunch of useless trash."

After reviewing a stack of ninja files, Obito Uchiha casually tossed them on the ground: "I've been gone for so many days, and only Kisame Hoshigaki is still considered to be of decent strength."

This was the only person Obito Uchiha was satisfied with.

Because Kisame Hoshigaki is decisive and never goes against orders from his superiors, and also possesses the bloodline of the Hoshigaki clan, he is extremely powerful in combat.

"..."

Yagura glanced down at the documents that Obito Uchiha had thrown on the ground, then remained standing quietly, making no move.

"..."

Obito Uchiha tapped his fingers lightly on the table, feeling troubled again by the fact that his identity had been exposed in Konoha. Kakashi knew he was still alive and would definitely be searching for him everywhere.

Konoha's high-ranking officials...

They will definitely issue a warrant for his arrest.

The only good news was that the brat named Akihara Kagura had agreed to join him. However, the brat was arrogant and domineering like a madman. He hadn't even chosen to become a trustworthy rogue ninja directly, but instead claimed that he was willing to be his inside man in Konoha.

joke!

Do I need an inside agent from Konoha?

Even if his identity is exposed, entering Konoha Village will be as easy as walking on flat ground. If he wants to know any information, he can send Zetsu to investigate in secret!

Something's happened.

The pitcher plant monster slowly emerged from the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Obito Uchiha looked at it in surprise.

The entire Hidden Mist Village is under his control. The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, is the most powerful person in the Hidden Mist Village. Could anything possibly go wrong here?

"A White Zetsu clone sent a message..."

The pitcher plant monster, with its white, half-faced, mechanical voice, delivered the bad news: "Konoha has issued a warrant for your arrest in the ninja world. When it went to Konoha to gather intelligence, it discovered that Konoha had sent people to the Land of Water to search for your whereabouts!"

"I thought it was something serious..."

Obito Uchiha remained calmly seated, letting out a cold snort. "I anticipated this," he said. "Have it keep an eye on the Akatsuki's situation, lest they harbor any disloyalty..."

After Obito Uchiha finished speaking, he looked at the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who was standing motionless beside him, and ordered, "Yagura, go and order the Kirigakure Anbu to strengthen their vigilance. If they encounter any Konoha spies trying to gather intelligence, just kill them."

"Ordinary ninjas probably can't do that..."

The pitcher plant monster's white half-face couldn't help but chuckle, and it slowly said, "The person who came is Hatake Kakashi..."

"That useless Kakashi..."

Obito Uchiha's tone was full of disdain.

The pitcher plant monster's white half-face grinned more and more broadly, continuing, "And then there's Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi... That brat Akihara's Wood Release is tough to deal with! He almost got you too!"

When was this news received?

Obito Uchiha's heart skipped a beat, and he glared at the pitcher plant monster with displeasure: "When you speak, don't just say half of what you mean!"

"Three days ago..."

The pitcher plant monster, its black half-face contorted in a hoarse voice, said, "They've been gone for at least three days, and they're probably almost at the Land of Water..."

"It's nothing serious."

As Obito Uchiha realized that Akihara Kagura was his spy, he gradually calmed down, and the team that came to investigate his whereabouts immediately became easier to deal with.

The problem is...

Akihara Kagura was unaware that Kirigakure was her superior's territory.

If he had known that Konoha would send someone to infiltrate Kirigakure in the Land of Water to investigate his whereabouts, he should have discussed it with Akihara Kagura, the spy, and prevented this unexpected situation from happening in advance...

but…

That brat might not be able to stop Konoha from sending people to infiltrate this place.

Let's have a proper talk with that brat later. Konoha has issued its own wanted poster; we'll need that kid sooner or later...

"Yakura."

After a moment's thought, Obito Uchiha reiterated his orders to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi: "You will personally lead a team to blockade the coast, hunt down Konoha spies, and forbid any outsiders from entering the Land of Water!"

Second update!

There's a plot hole in the Kaguya clan: when Zabuza Momochi was escaping with Haku, they encountered Kimimaro, and the Kaguya clan was on the verge of extinction...

I'm using the timeline from "Starting as the Mastermind from Naruto" here. The Kaguya clan should be wiped out within the next two or three years. I took a lot of notes back then, so this should be correct.
