Chapter 29: , everything is for the village

Mizunuki Ryosuke began to analyze all feasible methods and estimated in his heart the probability of winning perfectly and avoiding a direct confrontation with Uchiha Madara.

Mizunuki Ryosuke also began to analyze the existing intelligence item by item.

Ryosuke suddenly recalled what the Third Mizukage had said not long ago, that a "major event" would soon happen in the Mist, and this major event would occupy a large amount of the Mist’s combat power.

As the Mist Anbu Minister, Karatachi Yagura certainly could not be unaware of this situation.

If nothing unexpected happened, this batch of Rock Ninjas and Karatachi Yagura would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble when this event occurred.

Karatachi Yagura would then use the hands of the Rock Ninjas to eliminate the Third Mizukage and clear the way for his own ascension.

But how could he ensure that after the Third Mizukage died, the village would not fall into internal strife over power, and that the Mizukage position could successfully fall into his hands?

Thinking of the current situation of the Mist, Mizunuki Ryosuke was puzzled and could only temporarily suppress this question.

Currently, the intelligence in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s hands was still missing.

To handle everything well, he must figure out what this "major event" referred to by the Third Mizukage actually was.

"It seems I must return to the village first to figure everything out." ===== CHAPTER 57 =====

Mizunuki Ryosuke said to himself in his heart.

Time is life; he must return to the Mist and figure everything out before Karatachi Yagura notices something is wrong.

At the same time, he must avoid alerting the enemy, letting Karatachi Yagura notice the anomaly, and causing his own exposure.

Therefore, it was impossible for all members of the team to act together; otherwise, the target would be too large, and their whereabouts would inevitably be exposed.

Thus, Mizunuki Ryosuke ordered the three people beside him.

"You must already know the current situation."

"It is enough to be considered a move that affects the whole body; the complexity is beyond what you can imagine."

"Now I need to return to the village immediately to report everything to the Mizukage; to avoid alerting the enemy, you stay outside the village and wait."

"With three days as the limit; within three days, if I return, then everything is fine."

"But if I don't return, you take the Rock Ninja’s head and go to the Mizunuki clan grounds to explain everything to the Great Elder."

"Do you understand?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke ordered in an extremely serious voice.

Hearing this, the three ninjas in the team looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other’s eyes.

"Yes."

Finally, the three agreed.

After all, the current situation had already exceeded the three’s range of acceptance.

"Captain..."

"Please be careful."

Terumi Mei wanted to say something but stopped, but finally, she spoke up to show her concern for Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed a smile and rubbed Terumi Mei’s head.

Although the four had not formed a team for long, they had already established a certain emotional bond.

Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not delay any longer, turning into a black shadow in the night and rushing toward the Mist Village with all his might.

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke’s back, for the first time, an unwilling thought appeared in Terumi Mei’s heart.

"I swear there will absolutely not be a next time..."

Terumi Mei said secretly in her heart.

On the other side, the always proud Mizunuki Mitsuhiko’s eyes were also full of frustration.

This feeling of knowing the inside story but being unable to do anything was simply too terrible.

Mitsuhiko also secretly swore in his heart that he must avoid this situation from happening again.

Even Takeda Yoichi on the side no longer had his usual honest smile on his face.

But now, the three could only secretly pray in their hearts that everything would go smoothly for Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Mist Village.

In the Mizukage’s office, Mizunuki Taki and the Jonin squad leader, Maeda Tian Yuanshi, were having a secret talk.

"Cough, cough..."

"How much longer can Okubo hold on?"

Accompanied by the iconic coughing sound, the voice of the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, sounded in the office.

"Not much longer."

"The hospital director, Amura, has already been to see him and said he can hold on for at most two more days."

Maeda Tian Yuanshi’s firm and majestic face looked even more serious at this moment; it could be seen that this third-in-command of the Mist was in a very heavy mood at this moment.

"Two days, huh..."

"Is the new candidate ready?"

Mizunuki Taki first let out a soft sigh, then asked Maeda Tian Yuanshi.

"The candidate is ready, but..."

Maeda Tian Yuanshi wanted to say something but stopped, seeming to be worried about something.

"At that time, I will mobilize half of the elite of the Mizunuki family."

"At the same time, all members of the Mizukage Guard will also be dispatched."

"I have also communicated with Suikazan and Kurokuwa; they will also arrive at that time, and adding my old bones, it should be enough, right..."

Mizunuki Taki said slowly, but although he was saying this, his expression was still very grave.

"Maeda..."

"You know why I asked you to come and talk about this at such a time..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeming to be somewhat agitated, Mizunuki Taki began to cough violently again.

Hearing this, a trace of depth gradually appeared in Maeda Tian Yuanshi’s eyes.

"I will mobilize twenty Jonin to participate."

"Everything is for the village."

Maeda Tian Yuanshi said seriously, a trace of earnestness flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, cough, cough..."

"I knew you were different from Karatachi."

Extremely rarely, Mizunuki Taki revealed a happy smile.

"Are you sure you don't want to notify the Kaguya and the Mist Anbu?"

Seeing Mizunuki Taki’s physical condition, Maeda Tian Yuanshi still seemed somewhat worried and asked Mizunuki Taki.

"No, I don't trust them."

Mizunuki Taki shook his head gently, rejecting Maeda Tian Yuanshi’s proposal.

"Maeda, I know you have some opinions about me and the Mizunuki clan, but these are not important now."

"There is nothing more important than this matter; now we must prevent any possibility of accidents."

Mizunuki Taki said with a serious expression, his entire body revealing the majesty belonging to the contemporary Mizukage.

"Yes!"

Maeda Tian Yuanshi immediately stood up and answered yes, showing the appearance a subordinate should have.

"Everything is for the village..."

After Maeda Tian Yuanshi left, a look of confusion appeared in Mizunuki Taki’s eyes, and he muttered to himself.

But soon, a violent cough forced him to pick up the handkerchief he carried with him to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the body of the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, is also not optimistic.
