Chapter 116 Alliance
Late at night, at a port in the Land of Water.
Several Kirigakure ninjas dressed as ANBU were on high alert, their eyes fixed on the large ship from the Iwagakure Village in front of them.
As the pedals were lowered, several Iwagakure ninjas stepped off the boat.
A Kirigakure ANBU stepped forward and asked in a cold tone:
"Is it the yellow soil from Iwagakure Village?"
Hearing the question from the Mist Ninja, Huang Tu nodded.
"Exactly."
After looking Huang Tu up and down, the Anbu said nothing more and turned away.
"Follow me."
Then, several Anbu ninjas surrounded the Iwagakure ninjas and took them towards the Hidden Mist Village.
Due to the closed policy of the Hidden Mist Village, Huang Tu sent his ninjas to report in advance when he first entered the waters of the Land of Water.
He thought that he would be turned down on this trip to the Hidden Mist Village, but after staying on a nearby island for three days, he received unexpected news from his subordinates.
The Mizukage agreed.
This is really surprising.
After confirming again and again that it was the Mizukage who made the promise personally and preparing to order the fleet to set off, the subordinate reported another situation to Huangtu.
That is, the other party put forward a condition that only one ship on their side can dock.
Huang Tu admitted that for a moment he wanted to retreat.
but......
When the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed.
Besides, there has been no war between the Iwagakure Village and the Kirigakure Village, so the safety of our group shouldn't be a big problem...right?
Thinking of the task assigned to him by his father, Huang Tu finally agreed to the other party's request.
After selecting six elite fighters to accompany him, Huang Tu commanded the flagship to sail towards the port designated by the Hidden Mist Village.
Accompanied by the "friendly" members of the Kirigakure Anbu, Huang Tu and his group shuttled through the thick fog and finally arrived at the Kirigakure Village at dusk the next day.
Without giving them time to rest, the Anbu took Huang Tu directly to the Mizukage's office, while the others were stopped outside the building.
The Sandaime Mizukage and the Elder Master, who had been informed early, were now dressed in formal attire and waiting there.
"Mizukage-sama."
Bowing slightly to the old man with long flowing hair in front of them, Huang Tu and others saw the Third Mizukage himself for the first time.
"Ah."
The Sandaime Mizukage nodded slightly as a greeting.
Since they knew very little about the Hidden Mist Village, they ignored the Elder Master standing beside them and just thought he was an ordinary high-ranking official of the Hidden Mist Village.
"The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village have not communicated since the passing of the Nidaime-sama."
Slightly opening his squinted eyes, the Sandaime Mizukage looked at the yellow earth in front of him with a rather unfriendly tone.
Although he was extremely disgusted with the Second-generation Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu in his heart, he still had to pretend to be an irreconcilable enemy for the sake of appearance.
"We are deeply sorry for this, too. You must believe that the damage done to the Iwagakure Village is not small, and Master Mu is the teacher of Master Tsuchikage."
"In that case, why are you here?"
Although the Hidden Mist Village has been in an internally closed state, its external intelligence work has never slowed down for a moment.
Except for Konoha and Kumogakure, which are difficult to infiltrate, all other villages have spies from the Kirigakure.
The Sandaime Mizukage knew that the burly man in front of him was none other than the biological son of the current Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.
Although he was also very curious about why the dwarf Ohnoki could give birth to such a strong son, he was even more curious about why Ohnoki sent him here.
However, as an old film director, he already had some guesses in his mind.
"To deal with our common enemy."
Huang Tu took out Oonoki's handwritten letter at the right time and handed it to the Anbu beside him.
After confirming that there were no hidden weapons in the letter, the Anbu handed the letter respectfully to the Sandaime Mizukage.
Along with the sound of the letter being opened, the atmosphere in the whole room fell to freezing point.
Amid the unique rustling sound of paper, Huang Tu observed the expression of the water shadow in front of him with a little nervousness.
For some reason, as the letter was read, the expression of the Mizukage in front of him became uglier and uglier.
"call--"
As the last word fell into the eyes of the Sandaime Mizukage, some questions that had puzzled him for a long time were answered at this moment.
"I understand. You go down and rest for a while. It's best not to leave the accommodation I arranged for you unless necessary."
Looking at the ugly expression of the Mizukage in front of him, Huang Tu was tactful enough not to say anything more and obediently followed the Anbu out of the office.
"Take a look."
As the sound of Huang Tu's footsteps grew farther and farther away, the Sandaime Mizukage handed the letter to the Master beside him in a grim tone.
Master Yuan, who had long been curious about what was in the letter but was too embarrassed to speak, hurriedly took the letter.
Afterwards, the elder's expression became as ugly as the Mizukage's.
In the letter, Oonoki told the Mizukage that his spies had found traces of the Kizuna clan in Konoha Village.
And the existence of a sword that looked like Samehada was also discovered.
"It was actually done by Konoha?"
I have always believed that the defection of the Kizuki clan was directed and acted by the Mizukage in front of me, but I didn't expect that things would really be as the Third Mizukage said.
"Humph."
The Sandaime Mizukage just snorted coldly upon hearing this and said nothing more.
Looking at the Sandaime Mizukage whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Yuanshi said in a somewhat unpleasant tone:
"I've said before that you're being too harsh on the Ghost Lantern Clan and it will cause a backlash sooner or later. Look, this has come true."
The Master has always been dissatisfied with the fact that the Third Mizukage deliberately suppressed the bloodline limit and the village ninja clans.
No matter what, the ninjas from these big clans are the fighting force of the village.
Especially the bloodline limit, no matter which village it is placed in, it will be the target that tips the balance.
As a result, the Third Mizukage was turned into an endangered species.
After all, the Kizuna clan has produced a Mizukage, and they were also major shareholders when the Hidden Mist Village was built.
But now he has run to Konoha.
Once the ninja world finds out, how will people from other villages view the Hidden Mist Village?
The Sandaime Mizukage rarely refuted the Master's slightly accusatory remarks.
Instead, he adjusted his mindset and began to think calmly.
It has already happened, there is no point in saying more.
The current Sandaime Mizukage focused all his attention on Ōnoki's last words.
The four-village alliance of Iwa-Kumo-Mist-Sand was formed to jointly attack Konoha.
