Chapter 40 The 4th Mizukage
In the Land of Water, on the cliff behind the Hidden Mist Village.
This is a cliff leading to the Hidden Mist Village, but if you look closely, it cannot be considered the route into the village.
Because this cliff is more than 160 meters high, the cliff wall is almost 90 degrees vertical to the ground.
The soil above is soft, wet and sticky. If you cover your feet with chakra and walk on it, you can carry it back for the feast if nothing goes wrong.
Because the soil on the cliff might fall off directly.
puff.
Deidara thrust his hands into the cliff wall, clasped them tightly, and began to climb up.
The reason why the clay series of ninjutsu was not used to fly up was because the purpose this time was to sneak into the Hidden Mist Village and to avoid being detected by the enemy as much as possible.
Orochimaru observed for a while, then his body softened and his legs turned into a snake tail as he crawled upwards.
Deidara was stunned: "This is also possible!?"
Orochimaru said as he slid, "What's wrong, Deidara-kun, you should take a look at the snake-type ninjutsu stored in my data room, they are all my hard work, very practical."
"You make sense." Deidara agreed and decided to go back and study the essence of snake-type ninjutsu.
Pffffffffffffft.
Rustling.
The two climbed and slid, and soon slipped into the Hidden Mist Village from the cliff.
Deidara took the first step forward, but was then grabbed by Orochimaru.
"What's wrong?" Deidara asked.
Orochimaru shook his head. Although this young man was very powerful, he still lacked experience as a ninja.
Bear bear bear.
Orochimaru didn't explain much and directly ignited five clusters of chakra flames on his fingertips.
Then he pressed on the air in front of him, and ripples appeared in the air. A large number of black curse words appeared out of thin air, and the five elements corresponded to the chakra flame in Orochimaru's hand.
As Orochimaru turned his wrist, the black spell began to twist, and eventually spread out, opening a "door" large enough for one person to pass through.
Seeing this scene, Deidara was stunned, and then shocked. It turned out that he still had a lot to learn.
If I had walked over rashly just now, the barrier would have been triggered in the next second, and the consequence would undoubtedly be a head-on confrontation with the Hidden Mist Village.
After entering the Hidden Mist Village, Orochimaru walked in front.
He had sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village before, so he couldn't say he was familiar with the place, but at least he knew a thing or two about it.
The defense of the Mizukage Building was not tight, with only a few ninjas guarding the dark areas.
Because the ninjas in the village are always in a state of combat and fights may break out at any time, the defense of the village is not taken so seriously. After all, it is impossible to control it.
Just leave it alone. If there are casualties, it’s because we are not as strong as others, and we can’t blame anyone else.
Under this kind of atmosphere, the defense of the Mizukage Building became less strict.
Click.
After passing through a secret door, Deidara followed Orochimaru into a secret room.
This seems to be a space dug out from the ground, and then filled with rock blocks up to 2m thick and 1m long as walls.
Water Shadow Residence.
That’s right, this underground space is where the Fourth Mizukage Karuta Yagura usually lives.
He has been staying here in seclusion, rarely returning to the Mizukage Building on the ground to work.
Whenever he had any orders, he would ask his subordinates to come close to him and then give the orders directly.
Even though his subordinates including the top leaders of Kirigakure had complaints about this, Yagura continued to do as he pleased. Anyone who dared to advise him would be killed on the spot.
The brutality of the group terrified everyone in Kirigakure.
From then on, he no longer dared to advise Yagura, and only knew how to carry out his orders.
"Such a cruel and willful guy is actually the shadow of a village. His behavior is indeed very suspicious." Orochimaru said as he walked, holding an oil lamp.
Deidara followed behind him, complaining in his heart that the technology tree in the Naruto world was really weird. Orochimaru used all kinds of high-tech scientific research equipment, but the device used for lighting was still an oil lamp!
He said while complaining in his mind, "It's not doubtful. When you see Yagura, you will know why he stays here."
Orochimaru didn't comment, but stuck out his tongue to moisten his lips: "I'm really looking forward to it."
After walking for another ten minutes, an arched stone gate appeared in front of us.
Due to the arrival of the two people, the stone door slowly opened to both sides. The movement was not loud, but in this quiet environment underground, even the smallest movement would attract attention.
Deidara and Orochimaru looked at each other and then nodded to each other.
The two of them used the transformation technique and clone technique at the same time, leaving two clones that turned into Kirigakure ninjas in place, while the original body ran along the wall to the ceiling and hung upside down.
The structure of the arched stone door can block the view of the ceiling to a certain extent.
If there is someone behind the stone door, they will not be noticed on the ceiling as long as they don't walk out through the stone door.
Even if he came out, his attention would be drawn to the Kirigakure ninja's transformation into a clone.
Crunch...
The stone door made an obscure friction sound and finally opened.
There was no one behind the door. It was a spacious hall with racks for oil lamps installed on the walls, adding a bit of dim light to the dark environment.
The Kirigakure clone walked into the hall cautiously. The light around them was too dim, so they could only observe and move forward tentatively.
"What? You broke in without knowing the structure of my residence?" A voice sounded unexpectedly.
The two Kirigakure clones broke out in a cold sweat and drew their kunai, facing the direction where the sound came from.
A short figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
He has green hair and purple eyes, and there is a scar under his left eye that looks like a suture mark. He holds a stick-like weapon with a hook at the front and decorated with green flowers.
The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura!
Karuju Yagura looked at the Kirigakure clone with a cold expression and murmured, "Strange faces, I have never seen you before. Which faction do you belong to? Or, who do you serve?"
On the ceiling of the passage behind the stone door, Deidara and Orochimaru listened quietly to Karatachi Yagura's questions.
These two simple sentences exposed the chaos of Kirigakure's current situation, with various factions fighting each other.
There were even many people who were sure that they had sent ninjas to assassinate Karatachi Yagura, because when this guy saw the two Kirigakure clones, he didn't seem surprised or ask why they came here.
Instead, he asked who sent him as soon as he opened his mouth, which showed that this was not the first time he had been assassinated. His position as Mizukage was always being watched by someone!
"No words? I'll kill both of you."
Seeing that the Kirigakure clone did not answer, Karuju Yagura seemed to lose his patience and raised his hand to swing the coral stick.
The front end of the stick swung out a cloud of water vapor, which condensed into a high-speed flowing "water knife".
"Water Style: Blade Cut!"
Whoa!
The water jet rushed from the ground to the front of the Mist Clone, and then was pulled up by inertia, forming a water jet that cut towards them!
The two Mist clones jumped back and kept a distance to avoid the water swords, but Karuta Yagura remained calm, as if he had expected this.
He swung the coral stick first left and then right, controlling the water knife to form two water blades, which pierced through the torsos of the two Mist Clone clones at the same time.
"So weak, those idiots sent Genin to assassinate me? No way..."
Karuji Yagura looked at the two "corpses" that were dealt with quickly and neatly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Those old guys and the new generation would never be stupid enough to think that two Genin could kill him. It is very likely that they were abandoned pawns sent to test him first.
Then, Goji Yagura's gaze shifted to the outside of the stone gate, and he gazed quietly at the corridor through the open arched stone door.
Deidara looked at Orochimaru and gave him a look: I will go down and fight him first to attract his attention. You wait for an opportunity to sneak attack him, mainly to restrict his movements, and I will subdue him!
Orochimaru nodded and gave him an understanding look: Don't worry, I'm very good at sneak attacks.
Deidara looked at him with satisfaction. This guy Orochimaru could actually understand his team voice. He was truly a god-level teammate.
After the two finished communicating, Deidara withdrew the chakra from the soles of his feet, and his whole body fell freely. When he was about to hit the floor, he turned in the air and landed steadily.
"Ah~ As expected of you, the Fourth Mizukage. As expected, a mere clone can't hide anything from you. Hmm!"
Deidara walked into the hall, looking nonchalant, although he was usually like this...
"Clone?" Karuta Yagura stared at the two dead bodies on the ground, his pupils shrank.
I saw that one of the clones had turned into human skin like a snake's shed skin and shrank.
The other one transformed into a blurry mass of flesh, crawled towards the approaching blond ninja, and then merged into his body!
Goji Yagura is facing a formidable enemy!
It was not only because of the weirdness of the blond ninja in front of him, but also because in the spiritual world, the three-tailed Isobu was warning him that there was a tailed beast-like existence in the other party's body, and the chakra energy level was very terrifying!
Although he is a perfect Jinchūriki, his relationship with the Three-Tails is very ordinary. The fact that the Three-Tails took the initiative to talk to him shows that the Three-Tails has felt threatened by him!
