Chapter 33

At this very moment, for the Third Mizukage and the Mizunuki clan, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a moment of life and death.

Mizunuki Ryosuke even once suspected that in the long river of history of the original world, perhaps it was this crisis that led to the destruction of the Mizunuki clan and the death of the Third Mizukage.

The matter is of great importance, and time is tight; only the Third Mizukage himself can have the greatest certainty in negotiating with the Hozuki family.

At such a moment, ordinary pawns going up would be hard to gain the other party’s trust.

At the moment, the two protagonists wrestling on the chessboard are the Third Mizukage and Karatachi Yagura.

Having already fallen into a disadvantage, the Third Mizukage must seize the time to turn everything around.

Tomorrow will be the moment for the replacement of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki; now we cannot continue to waste time.

Thinking of this, the Third Mizukage also intended to start acting.

"Ryosuke, you did very well this time."

"The situation is critical, so I won't say much more."

"I must do the matter of going to the Hozuki family myself."

"But to prevent leaks, someone must sit in the Mizukage’s office in my identity to confuse Karatachi Yagura."

"I leave this heavy responsibility to you."

Mizunuki Taki said to Mizunuki Ryosuke with burning eyes.

Obviously, the matter is of great importance, so naturally, the fewer people who know, the more stable it is; the Third Mizukage’s arrangement is also extremely reasonable.

And for Mizunuki Taki’s entrustment, Ryosuke was naturally happy to do so.

The reason why he worked so hard to plan for Mizunuki Taki was naturally for himself to be able to retreat to the background and protect himself.

"Mizukage-sama, you can rest assured and leave it to me."

"I will definitely not let the other party see any flaws."

Mizunuki Ryosuke immediately nodded to the Third Mizukage, signaling that he could handle everything well.

Seeing this, the Third Mizukage nodded; he still trusted Mizunuki Ryosuke’s ability extremely.

He was seen putting his hands together again and forming a seal for the Transformation Technique.

Afterward, a puff of smoke flashed, and the Third Mizukage directly transformed into an extremely unfamiliar ordinary Chunin, completely completing the disguise.

"Keitaro, you come with me."

Mizunuki Taki, who had finished transforming, said to the secret technique ninja named Keitaro on the side.

Being able to be entrusted by the Third Mizukage to carry out such important deciphering work, Keitaro was naturally the Third Mizukage’s confidant, and naturally had no objection to this.

In the subsequent negotiations with the Hozuki, Keitaro’s secret technique also played an important role.

"Please!"

After arranging everything, the Third Mizukage took Keitaro and pushed the door out.

And Mizunuki Ryosuke in the office also transformed into the Third Mizukage, sat behind the desk imitating the Third Mizukage’s appearance, and pretended to handle official business.

In this way, Mizunuki Ryosuke disguised himself as the Third Mizukage until it was time to get off work.

During this time, people came to report work and ask for instructions from time to time, all of which were brushed off by Mizunuki Ryosuke.

When it was time to get off work, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not stay for a moment longer, imitating the Third Mizukage’s appearance, and walked slowly toward the Mizunuki clan grounds.

He had to rush home as soon as possible, because for Ryosuke, there was still an important matter that he had not had time to deal with.

Flowers bloom on two branches, each describing one.

While the Third Mizukage’s camp was busy without stopping, Karatachi Yagura on the other side was not idle either.

In the Mist Anbu building, Karatachi Yagura ordered the Mist Anbu ninja who was his confidant in front of him.

"You go to the Kaguya clan grounds and tell Kaguya Ichiro."

"Tell him to be ready; tomorrow is the time to act."

"And you tell him that after the matter is done, I will assist him in sitting in the Mizukage’s position."

Karatachi Yagura said to the confidant who went to pass the order with a cold expression.

"Yes!"

After the Mist Anbu ninja received the order, he flashed away to carry it out.

After the ninja left, a sharp glint flashed in Karatachi Yagura’s eyes.

Kaguya?

A bunch of idiots.

Did they really think that after the matter was done, he would give up the Mizukage position that was within reach and turn to give the opportunity to them?

How could a dignified Mizukage be easily assassinated by a group of Rock Ninjas?

How could a mere group of Rock Ninjas bear such a big pot? Even a fool would know there was a problem.

So to increase persuasiveness, this group of Kaguya hotheads would become the best "scapegoats."

The Kaguya colluded with the Rock Ninjas to assassinate the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki.

In this way, Karatachi Yagura killed two birds with one stone, not only using the Kaguya’s hands to deal with the Mizunuki but also using a scheme to eliminate the Kaguya.

Paving the way for his subsequent ascension.

Just then, another Mist Anbu beside Karatachi Yagura reported.

"My lord, I have followed your order and sent all the Mizukage’s people in the Mist Anbu out to carry out missions."

"Now the rest of the Mist Anbu are all our people."

"And the Seven Swordsmen side, Biwa Juzo and Kushimaru also agreed to our conditions and will participate in the action tomorrow."

Hearing this, Karatachi Yagura nodded with satisfaction.

Everything is ready; tomorrow is the time to see the outcome.

"Very good!"

For today, Karatachi Yagura had planned for I don't know how long; it won't be long before the Mizukage position changes hands.

Fourth Mizukage!

Thinking of this title, Karatachi Yagura could not help but reveal a hideous smile on his face.

"What about the Rock Ninjas?"

"Why has there been no movement for so long?"

Seeming to suddenly think of something, Karatachi Yagura asked with a frown.

Hearing this, the Mist Anbu ninja answered.

"We have been contacting them, but we haven't been able to reach them for the time being."

"They should be on their way here."

The Mist Anbu ninja’s answer made Karatachi Yagura extremely dissatisfied.

"Urge them quickly; this group of Rock Ninjas is really unreliable."

Although he said so on his lips, Karatachi Yagura suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

But at this moment, he could only forcibly suppress it first, just thinking that he was a bit nervous because of tomorrow’s major event.

In the current Mist Ninja Village, almost most of the ninjas began to operate under the control of two invisible big hands.
