"Be careful if Fengda flashes your tongue, we will not let you succeed in your attempt to violently control Kirigakure."

A senior executive said righteously.

Yagura did not answer this time, but looked around.

At some point, the steps of the ruins were filled with people, and they surrounded the place heavily.

A large number of Kirigakure ninjas gathered here, all with blood on their bodies and disgraced faces. They had obviously gone through a hard battle and came here to provide support.

Seeing this scene, the Third Mizukage breathed a sigh of relief.

If these people here only want to suppress Yagura, it is still a bit risky, and they may even have to pay a heavy price.

But there are more than a thousand elite Kirigakure ninjas gathered at this moment. Even if Yagura completely frees the three tails at this time, they can easily suppress them.

"Yakura, let's take it easy. Your attempt to control the village by force has failed. Now that you have become the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, out of consideration for the future of the village, I will spare your life."

The Third Mizukage made a guarantee.

It was also his last forgiveness.

If Yagura doesn't cherish this opportunity anymore, he can only destroy him and the three tails together.

In the future, when the Three-Tails is resurrected, we will look for the Jinchuuriki again.

Yagura lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.

"Third generation, now that things have happened, is there any possibility for me to turn back?"

of course not.

He wanted to use the riot to eliminate the Blood Mist Sect in the village, end the rule of the Third Mizukage, and push himself to the position of the Fourth Mizukage.

Even so, Kirigakure's crisis has not been resolved.

Because the supporters behind the Blood Mist Sect have been identified as the great names and nobles of the Kingdom of Water.

Their sanctions on Kirigakure's military expenditure are the main culprit in creating Kirigakure's chaos.

If he doesn't change this situation, Kirigakure's current tragedy will continue to happen again in the future.

He has already felt the limitations and disadvantages of the one-country-one-village system established by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.

Now that he has decided to join forces with Shiraishi, Yagura knows that Kirigakure will only have to go to the dark side in the future to find a suitable way out for Kirigakure.

After the blood mist incident, he could no longer believe the daimyo and nobles of the Kingdom of Water.

Those who use this despicable method to deal with Kirigakure Village, which has protected the safety of the Water Kingdom for decades, are the ones who deserve the most damn!

"Stubborn?"

Yagura was still resisting up to this point, which made the Third Mizukage take a deep breath, and then waved his hand at Yagura.

I want to defeat Yagura with the human sea tactic.

However, after he gave the order, none of the surrounding Kirigakure ninjas took any action and just stared at him silently.

It was at this time that the Third Mizukage realized something was wrong.

"you……"

Seeing the indifferent eyes of these people, the third generation Mizukage had a look of disbelief on his face, and a ridiculous idea appeared in his heart.

These people...are Yagura's subordinates?

How can it be?

How could Yagura have so many supporters?

Several senior officials standing with the Third Mizukage also had panicked expressions on their faces, especially when they saw a few familiar faces among the Kirigakure ninjas, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"When did you forget their faces, Third Generation?"

Yagura asked the Third Mizukage for answers in a lamenting tone.

"Wha, what?"

The third Mizukage was startled.

I saw a Kirigakure ninja stand up from the ranks and asked the Third Mizukage: "Mizukage-sama, do you still remember me?"

"Are you... Nanjonin? Didn't you die in the line of duty two years ago?"

The Third Mizukage looked at the Kirigakure Jonin who had come back from the dead in disbelief.

The opponent was a powerful Jonin from Kirigakure Village. He was once the captain of the Kirigakure Anbu. However, unfortunately, he died in the line of duty during a solo S-class mission two years ago. It is said that even his body was found in the capital.

Not here anymore.

For this reason, the Third Mizukage felt sad for a long time.

"It's not that I died in the line of duty, but that I was set up in a trap by the people of the Blood Mist Sect. Without the assistance of Yagura Jounin, I would probably have died in this dirty political struggle like Ringo Jounin.

Alright."

Nanjonin looked at the Third Mizukage with complicated eyes.

It was the other party's blind connivance and overall concern that led to the growth of the Blood Mist Sect. The village was already riddled with holes, but they still tried to use compromise to save it.

When Yagura was preparing to launch a coup, he and many of his "dead companions" agreed.

Nothing can be established without destruction, especially now that the combat effectiveness of the ninja villages in various countries has been greatly reduced due to war. Even if a civil war breaks out in Kirigakure, it will be difficult for the ninja villages from other countries to intervene.

If this opportunity is missed and Kirigakure wants to launch a coup in the future, Kirigakure will not only be under internal pressure, but also even more terrifying external pressure.

The third Mizukage's face was stunned. He never expected that the Jonin who loved the village would be saved by Yagura and become Yagura's supporter.

"Most of the Blood Mist Sect in the village have been wiped out. The rest are victims who don't know the truth and were blinded by the Blood Mist Sect. We just need to recruit them. You lost, Sandaime."

Following Minami Jounin's words, the Third Mizukage seemed to have been severely traumatized in his heart, coughing violently on the spot.

Why did it become like this? The third Mizukage kept asking himself.

But no matter how he guessed, he couldn't get an answer that satisfied him.

Is a shadow that has lost the support of the people really a shadow from the village?

The third Mizukage, who already looked old, looked even older now.

Seeing the struggle on the third Mizukage's face, Yagura did not relax his vigilance.

At this time, the third generation Mizukage who fell into inner doubt was the most terrifying.

"Mizukage-sama, don't listen to their nonsense. You are the orthodoxy of the village. If these rebels gain the authority of the village, Kirigakure will be truly finished. There is no need to show empathy to these traitors."

A senior executive spoke earnestly to dissuade the Third Mizukage from continuing to fight.

"That's right. No matter what, Mizukage-sama, your original intention was for the good of the village. But no matter what, betraying Mizukage-sama is tantamount to betraying the village. They just want to use this despicable psychological tactic to make you

It’s just that I lost my fighting spirit.”

Many Kirigakure ninjas were glaring angrily at the senior officials who kept fanning the flames in the ears of the Third Mizukage.

The fact that Kirigakure Village has become like this cannot be separated from the high-level officials of the Blood Mist Sect.

The rest of the senior executives who do not understand the truth can be forgiven, but for these senior executives who have been vigorously insisting on the implementation of the blood mist policy, death is not enough to apologize!

Just when they couldn't contain the anger in their hearts and were about to rush forward, a powerful old voice sounded in the field:

"Stop it all. How long do you plan to continue this farce? Look at how the village has been disrupted by you people."

Everyone turned to look and saw an old man holding a snake-shaped crutch standing in the middle of the field.

The top of the crutch is a ferocious-looking snake head with sharp teeth and blood-red eyes. The strange gaze swept over each Kirigakure ninja, bringing them great pressure.

That crutch looks like some kind of living creature.

This old man is none other than the most respected elder in Kirigakure Village—Master Yuan.

A legendary figure from the Kirigakure village who once accompanied the first Mizukage in all his conquests.

Many things about his rumors cannot be accurately investigated.

But it is said that the second generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu in the past also placed a high degree of trust in it.

However, as the Third Mizukage came to power, he gradually withdrew from the political stage. Unless something big happened, he was basically invisible.

"Master Yuan..."

The Third Mizukage looked at Yuanshi with complicated eyes.

"How about putting an end to this farce? As an old man, I really don't want to move."

Genshi looked at Yagura and made suggestions to him.

The current situation is quite clear. Yagura has an absolute advantage. The Third Mizukage, who has suffered a double blow both mentally and physically, will lose sooner or later.

But continuing to fight has no meaning except increasing the number of casualties.

Yagura nodded, his purpose was just to delay the Third Mizukage, preventing him from freeing up his hands to deal with the reformist ninjas, causing the plan to go awry.

Otherwise, he would really have to ask Shiraishi to suppress the Third Mizukage together with him.

However, Yagura did not want to use the assistance provided by Shiraishi unless it was absolutely necessary.
