Chapter 131

Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of Mizunuki Taki's mouth.

In a daze, he seemed to see two young people rushing in his direction.

These two young people were so young, and in them, Mizunuki Taki seemed to see the shadows of the previous two Mizukage.

"Third!"

"Clan Head!"

Two urgent shouts reached Mizunuki Taki's ears one after another.

The two who arrived were none other than Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu.

Immediately, Mizunuki Ryosuke cast the Mystical Palm Technique to treat the Third Mizukage's wounds.

But as soon as he probed, he discovered that the Third Mizukage's condition was already beyond saving.

Every organ and every blood vessel in his body was damaged; not a single part was intact.

But thanks to the Mystical Palm Technique Ryosuke cast, Mizunuki Taki managed to draw one last breath.

"Ryosuke..."

"I still prefer you calling me Uncle Taki."

Mizunuki Taki said with a smile, his voice weak.

Hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke wore a complex expression, for a moment not knowing what to say.

"Lian and Liuhua..."

"I entrust the two of them to you."

"You must protect them well."

Mizunuki Taki's voice grew weaker; every word he spoke seemed to require immense effort.

A large amount of blood spilled from Mizunuki Taki's mouth as if it were worthless; Mizunuki Taki used all his strength to grasp Ryosuke's hand.

"Yes, Uncle Taki."

"I promise, anyone who wants to harm Sister Lian and Aunt Liuhua must step over my dead body!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke promised firmly to Mizunuki Taki, who was hanging by a thread.

Hearing this, a trace of peace flashed in Mizunuki Taki's eyes.

"Remember today..."

"No matter into whose hands the village falls in the future."

"Remember..."

"Never let it happen like this again."

Mizunuki Taki said his final words to Hozuki Mangetsu and Mizunuki Ryosuke before him.

Both of them knew exactly what he was referring to.

After today's civil war, Kirigakure would not be able to recover for three to five years.

As for why Mizunuki Taki said this to them, perhaps he had determined that the next Mizukage would be chosen between Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu.

This was a warning to them: no matter who succeeded as Mizukage, they must never let the village fall into internal strife again.

After saying this, Mizunuki Taki gasped for air, as if he might stop breathing at any moment.

Seeming to hear some movement, Mizunuki Ryosuke turned his head to look behind him.

He saw a ninja with a somewhat pedantic air, a burly body, and a resolute face rushing over quickly; behind him followed many medical ninjas from the hospital.

The person who arrived was none other than the third-in-command of Kirigakure, the Jonin Commander, Tian Yuanshi.

During the previous chaotic battle, Tian Yuanshi was responsible for guarding the village and handling any potential chaos.

After the coup was launched...

Karatachi Yagura had also arranged for a large number of people within the village, with the goal of spreading false information.

In order to return to the village and sit in the position of Kage after the assassination succeeded.

But under Tian Yuanshi's command, the rumors were quickly quelled, and Karatachi Yagura's conspiracy was exposed.

Not long ago, Tian Yuanshi received the battle report from the front lines and realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly brought people to support.

Seeing Tian Yuanshi arrive, Mizunuki Taki held on to his last breath, seemingly having something to say to Tian Yuanshi. ===== CHAPTER 133 =====
