Chapter 70 Water Country
After the little episode in the Land of Whirlpools, Danzo and his crew returned to their boring daily routine of playing poker and shogi.
Even though Cardo was furious, how could he possibly know what the ultimate goal of Danzo and his crew was.
He could only let his men search aimlessly on the sea.
In the end, I was unable to meet Danzo and the others as I wished.
Danzo and his companions spent half a month in this boring atmosphere.
Finally, with a cheer from the captain.
They arrived at the outer waters of the Water Kingdom.
After confirming that there were no other ships around, the crew quickly changed all the logos on the ship to those of the Kingdom of Craftsmen.
Although the Water Country pursues isolationism, the Hidden Mist Village's own craftsmen are unable to fully supply the entire village with ninja tools.
Therefore, importing from the Land of Craftsmen became their only option.
It was obvious that Tatsuya had already investigated all these things in advance, otherwise they would not have been able to complete the change of clothes so quickly.
This merchant ship from the Fire Nation, flying the flag of the Craftsman Nation, successfully evaded inspection by the Water Nation and docked at a small, hidden port.
"Master Danzo, I have sent you to the Land of Water as agreed. Next, my ship will rest here for three months. During this period, you can come back at any time."
Tatsuya looked at the man in front of him with a forced smile.
During this period of time, he got to see what a shogi loser was.
Whenever he was about to win, either Danzo accidentally messed up the chessboard, or a breeze blew from somewhere and blew the chess pieces away.
In short, I have never won a game completely.
Are all Konoha's ninjas so rude?
Tatsuya, who had originally planned to go sightseeing in Konoha after this matter was resolved, suddenly lost interest.
"Really? Thank you for your hard work."
Danzo pretended not to notice the other person's resentful expression.
What a joke! A chess game is like a battlefield, and everything on the board changes rapidly.
Not to mention a gust of wind, even a "Susanoo" is not impossible.
If you don't believe me, try playing chess with Uchiha Madara?
After waving goodbye to Tatsuya, Danzo and his companions disguised themselves and left the port.
The first thing to do after leaving the port is to assign personnel.
The acquaintance that everyone is looking for is in the inland of the Water Country.
Even though this guy has five lives, this is still someone else's territory.
Just in case, Danzo handed Nono and Uchiha Kei over to the other party's command.
Although in terms of coordinated operations, the two horns cannot be said to be a perfect match, it can only be said that they are irrelevant.
Do you know who is your teammate’s nemesis?
But fortunately, Nono and Uchiha Kei were sent to him to gather intelligence.
There is no need to worry about accidentally injuring the other person due to a shake of the other person's hand.
He decided to take Ye Cang and Ryoma to the Hidden Mist Village to find out the situation first.
See if you can bring back a few of the targets you have set.
......
In the Hidden Mist Village today, the person in power is still the Sandaime Mizukage.
At the same time, he is also the Mizukage who thoroughly developed the "Blood Mist Village".
Although the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, formulated the "Secrecy Act" of the Hidden Mist Village, it was not as cruel as after the Third World War.
The cruel policies of the Hidden Mist Village all started after this generation of Mizukage took the throne.
I don’t know if it’s because after the first Five Kage Summit, the followers of each Kage successfully succeeded to the Second Generation.
The only one who was inexplicably cut in line by Gui Deng Huan Yue.
As a result, after becoming the Mizukage, he only targeted the Kizuna clan.
The Ghost Lantern Clan was once at its peak and full of talented people.
After he came to power, he successfully reduced the number of tribesmen from more than 300 in its heyday.
It has grown to more than a dozen people now.
And among them, the only ones who are qualified to become ninjas are the clan leader, Hozuki Hozuki, and his son, Hozuki Teruzuki.
Now, the patriarch, who is over fifty years old, is looking at his eldest grandson, who was born not long ago, with helplessness and melancholy on his face.
"Damn Sandaime Lao Deng, I wish I could kill him myself--"
He angrily cursed the kind-looking Third Mizukage.
Xingyue touched Man Yue’s little head lovingly.
How he wished his grandson had no ninja talent at all.
After all, only in this way would he not have to go to the Ninja School and take the so-called fratricidal graduation exam.
The talents of the Gui Lantern clan were slowly consumed under this system.
Even if they are able to graduate, they will be sent to the most brutal and difficult tasks first.
The Mizukage would just brush it off with a light-hearted response, "With great power comes great responsibility."
I just hope that Lord Yagura, who is about to ascend the throne, can turn the current situation in Kirigakure around.
Xingyue couldn't help but think of the green figure in her mind.
The Hidden Mist Village adheres to the system of succession by the strong, and now there is someone who is qualified to compete for the throne of Mizukage.
The only one left was Yagura, who relied on his "Water Mirror Technique" to defeat everyone in the village.
If this person continues to pursue this policy when he comes to power.
Then he would have no choice but to defect to the Hidden Mist Village with his entire clan.
After all, there are only a dozen people left, so it is easy to escape if they want to.
"Old Patriarch Huanyue, if you are still alive, please send someone to save the Ghost Lantern Clan."
Taking back the hand that was stroking Man Yue’s head, Xing Yue sighed and began to pray unrealistically.
......
At this time, after some exploration, Danzo and others finally reached the outskirts of the Hidden Mist Village hidden in the mountains.
Relying on the information they got from the black market, they came to the place where the barrier was said to be the weakest.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the type of barrier in front of him.
As expected, the barrier of the Hidden Mist Village is the kind that is sensitive to unfamiliar chakra.
The biggest advantage of this barrier is that it can detect continuously for 24 hours.
As for the disadvantages...
"Four Symbols Seal!"
He performed a sealing technique on himself and his group to ensure that no chakra would be emitted from his body.
Danzo took a tentative step into the barrier.
He deliberately stopped for a while to make sure no enemies were approaching.
Danzo knew that they had now successfully sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village.
The seal will be lifted, and as long as they don't get close to the barrier, they will not be discovered by the Kirigakure ninja.
