Chapter 152

After the death of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, the Hidden Mist side did not want to make a big deal out of it, so they had always kept this matter as a secret.

Or rather, after the death of the Fourth Yagura, who was a perfect Jinchuriki, the strength of the current Hidden Mist Village has completely become the bottom of the five major ninja villages.

Among the five major ninja villages, Konoha Village is undoubtedly the strongest. Even after the end of the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War, Konoha lost most of its top combat power, but its overall strength still sat firmly in the first chair of the five major ninja villages.

And besides the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village, although the strength is not as good as Konoha, the overall strength is also in the second echelon among the five major ninja villages.

In the past, the bottom of the five major ninja villages should be the Hidden Sand Village. Because of the harsh living environment, the strength of the Hidden Sand Village was much weaker than their Hidden Mist Village.

However, times are different now. Because the Fourth Mizukage was once controlled by illusions, the Hidden Mist Village, which fell into the Bloody Mist, had a lot of internal friction and lost many Bloodline families and excellent ninjas.

The "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist," which was the only thing the Hidden Mist could take out in the ninja world, also died or defected during this period.

Even the "Tailed Beast" as a war weapon, after the death of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, the village lost control over it.

To put it simply, the current Hidden Mist Village has definitely reached the end of its rope.

If the news of the Fourth Mizukage's death is known by other ninja villages, what reaction will other ninja villages make?

The trigger for the complete outbreak of each Ninja World War is the death of a Kage of a ninja village. As the leader of each ninja village, the Kage is not only an important combat power of the village but also the faith of all ninjas in the village.

A ninja village without a Kage, other ninja villages that have been fighting for many years will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

Once the news of the Fourth Mizukage's death is spread, it is not impossible to trigger a Ninja World War because of this.

The current Hidden Mist Village is at the end of its rope. Once the Fourth Ninja World War breaks out, they will only become the meat in the mouths of other ninja villages.

And it is also because of this reason that the news of the Fourth Mizukage's death is now blocked within the Hidden Mist Village.

Currently, the one who holds the power of the Hidden Mist Village is the elder of the Hidden Mist Village, "Gensui," who is nearly ninety years old.

In the Mizukage building, a woman with emerald green eyes, reddish-brown crossed long curly hair, right eye covered by hair, pink lips, wearing a blue tube top dress, and a proud figure with curves approaching the ninja world's first milk mother Tsunade, was originally handling official business.

But at this moment, two Hidden Mist Chunin, accompanied by Anbu, ran in hurriedly from the outside.

The current Mei Terumi is not yet the Fifth Mizukage, but the affairs of the Hidden Mist Village are indeed carried out by her with the approval of Gensui.

Compared to other ninja villages, the internal situation of the Hidden Mist Village is more complicated. Because of the bloody rule of the Fourth Mizukage, the various families in the Hidden Mist Village now have a certain psychological shadow on the Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura was once a hero in the village. It was his appearance that ended the Bloodline War in the village.

But the dragon slayer eventually became an evil dragon. No one expected that the Fourth Mizukage, who was once a hero of the village, would cause the Hidden Mist Village to fall into such a situation.

It is also because of this that although Mei Terumi is now exercising the power of the Fifth Mizukage, she has always claimed to be based on "Gensui" internally.

Gensui is not only an elder of the Hidden Mist Village but also the most respected old man in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although he also has the heart to recommend Mei Terumi to take the position, it is a pity that Mei Terumi's foundation in the village is too poor. There are many Bloodline families in the Hidden Mist Village, and they don't want to see the new Mizukage take the position.

Furthermore, although Mei Terumi has ability, strength, and means, she is a woman after all.

Looking at the Kage of all generations in the major ninja villages, so far there has not been a female Kage, so even if Gensui is respected, he is powerless in the matter of the Fifth Mizukage.

The Hidden Mist Chunin who knelt in front of Mei Terumi was not a Bloodline ninja and could be considered one of the few people in Mei Terumi's line. Soon, he also told everything about meeting Shengzai slowly.

"Kaguya Shengzai..., wait, I seem to have heard of this person's name."

Mei Terumi said while pulling open the cabinet drawer on the side, and soon searched quickly among a pile of materials.

Mei Terumi has an impression of Shengzai, which is quite normal, because when Shengzai was active, Mei Terumi was also a member of the Hidden Mist Anbu, so she had some impression of the ninjas of the Hidden Mist.

Although because she was working in the Anbu at that time, due to the secret mechanism of the Anbu, she didn't have much contact with Shengzai, but she had seen him a few times and vaguely remembered that the other party was a good man.

"Is the person who claims to be Kaguya Shengzai this person?"

After searching through the ninja folder, Mei Terumi finally found the relevant information about Shengzai that year and placed this information in front of the gate-keeping Hidden Mist Chunin for identification.

And when the Hidden Mist Chunin saw the photo of Shengzai in the information, he also started nodding repeatedly like a garlic-pounding head.

When seeing Shengzai's information, the Hidden Mist Chunin was really confused, because he didn't expect that Shengzai was really a Jonin of their Hidden Mist Village.

But the problem is, why was Shengzai clearly a Jonin of their Hidden Mist, but he had never seen the other party?

You have to know that he has been guarding the Hidden Mist gate for several years. Since he is a Hidden Mist Jonin, it is impossible for the other party to have been hiding in the village for several years without even a single mission outside, right?

Could it be that the other party is Anbu? But this doesn't make sense either. If it were really like this, the other party would at least carry some order scrolls from Mei Terumi or Gensui.

Seeming to see the doubt of the gate-keeping Chunin, Mei Terumi also said shockingly with a gloomy face: "It is normal that you don't know the other party, because Kaguya Shengzai was confirmed dead ten years ago."

"So if there is no accident, the other party should be disguised by ninjas from other enemy villages, but you just said that the other party did use the Kaguya clan's Bloodline Shikotsumyaku..."

"Forget it, let's go see who the other party is together."

In order to confirm the authenticity of Shengzai, Mei Terumi even brought Ao, who had transplanted the Byakugan, and asked people to notify Gensui.

As for the other side, Shengzai at the front gate of the Hidden Mist Village did not choose to run away, but waited calmly in place until Mei Terumi brought several Hidden Mist Anbu and Ao to his front.

Ao is also a veteran Jonin of the Hidden Mist, so he also knows Shengzai, and when he saw Shengzai's face that had almost not changed in ten years, the whole person was stunned on the spot.

"Ao, is he really Kaguya Shengzai?" Facing Mei Terumi's inquiry, Ao recovered from his surprise.

"Whether it is appearance or temperament, it is exactly the same as the Kaguya Shengzai I knew ten years ago."

"But things like appearance are too simple to disguise in the ninja world. Byakugan———Activate!"
