Chapter 208 Completely crazy
Even though he was very reluctant to admit it, Black Zetsu had to face the reality - it seemed that his brain was not as good as that of White Zetsu, a funny guy who studied feces all day long.
Because Black Zetsu soon learned that during the time when he was depressed and at a loss, White Zetsu and Afei had quietly connected with those stubborn elements on the Mist Hidden Front who refused to change.
Black Zetsu had always claimed that he was the mastermind of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, but now he found that he was not as useful as White Zetsu...
This feeling is very subtle.
Not long after, Black Zetsu met with these people.
The leader was the familiar fat man: the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost!
The current captain of the first team of the Kirigakure Anbu, and also the leader of the Kirigakure secret assassination force!
He was the first helper that Ah Fei found, and the souls of both of them were highly compatible, so it could be said that they were running towards each other in a two-way direction.
Most of the Kirigakure ninjas hate the blood mist policy, but not the Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon.
He has actively embraced the blood mist over the years and has thrived in such an environment.
His current status and power were obtained almost entirely through killing and purging his own people.
If the blood mist policy ends in the future, he will definitely be the one who suffers the most!
And now, Biwa Juzo has returned to the village with the help of Akatsuki, and many people in Kirigakure have seen hope of ending the blood mist.
This scared the Xiguashan puffer ghost!
If the blood mist policy ends, people like him will no longer be able to thrive as well as they do now.
Not to mention the possibility of liquidation.
Therefore, he took the initiative to find White Zetsu, not caring at all about the harm the latter had caused to the Hidden Mist Village over the years.
As soon as we met, this fat man with a face full of flesh and a burly figure showed off his art of language.
"You two must be the staff members who assisted the Third Mizukage in the past, right? This time, I'll have to trouble you to continue to guide the future of Kirigakure. We can't let certain people lead the village astray."
It was Black Zetsu and his men who were harming Kirigakure all these years, but now that they have fallen into the mouth of the puffer demon at Watermelon Mountain, they have become the guiding light of Kirigakure.
In the original work, the Xiguashan Puffer Demon is a selfish villain who puts his personal interests above the village. In the future, he will also enrich himself by selling out Kirigakure's information.
But it is such a person who has always held a high position and status, just like a Mist version of Danzo.
Afterwards, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon eagerly introduced the helpers he brought to Black Zetsu and A Fei.
"This is my deputy, Hoshigaki Kisame, and this is the most outstanding genius graduate of our village in recent years: Momochi Zabuza."
Black Zetsu frowned upon hearing this.
"Graduate? This brat just graduated from the Ninja School? What use can such a brat have?"
Unexpectedly, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost laughed sinisterly.
“Don’t underestimate him. This kid killed all his classmates when he graduated. He is the best newcomer who has adapted to the blood mist policy in recent years.
So don’t underestimate him because he is young. He has great potential.”
In addition, Xiguashan Puffer Demon also brought several elite ninjas.
Without exception, these people all have one characteristic: they are exceptionally good at adapting to the blood mist policy!
At this time, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost actually missed his former teammates a little bit.
There was a ruthless duo among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They also adapted very well to the blood mist policy, but it was a pity that they died early.
Seeing this, Black Zetsu finally regained some confidence.
He has suffered a series of heavy blows recently.
Although there was no direct confrontation, he was defeated by his opponent in several games and was completely defenseless, and he fell into autism for a while.
But now, looking at the group of monsters that emerged from the blood mist in front of him, Hei Zetsu finally smiled again.
"That's right, we can't just hand over the village left behind by the Third Mizukage to others! We should continue to guide the direction of Kirigakure!" Soon after, Black Zetsu and the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon hit it off and began their counterattack!
Now that almost everyone on the Kirigakure front knows about the existence of the white spy, Black Zetsu and the others simply stop pretending.
They wanted to get along with you as ordinary people, but what they got in return was a reckoning. In this case, they simply stopped pretending and came clean!
That’s right, we are the ghosts!
For the next three days, many elite jonin on the Kirigakure front suffered intelligence leaks and died at the hands of the pursuing Konoha ninjas!
Even the powerful captain of the second team of the Kirigakure Anbu, Karatachi Yagura, who had a bad temper but made great achievements in battle and was originally a popular candidate for the next Mizukage, fell victim to the murder. He was ambushed by Konoha due to a leak of information, was seriously injured and nearly died!
On this day, Mei Terumi, the captain of the third squad of the Kirigakure Anbu, had just finished a battlefield blocking mission when she suddenly saw a distress signal from her own side not far away, and hurriedly prepared to rush to provide support.
As a result, at this moment, Qing beside her grabbed her.
"What's wrong, Qing? Did you see something?" Mei Terumi asked puzzledly.
Because Ao has one Byakugan, Mei Terumi trusts Ao's reconnaissance very much.
But this time, Qing didn't stop his partner because of what he saw.
"Captain, don't go. That's not our mission."
"Qing, what are you talking about? There's a Kirigakure team over there asking for help! How can we just watch our comrades die?"
"Captain, are you sure there are companions there? In other words, can you guarantee that they will regard us as companions?"
"Qing, what are you talking about?"
"Captain, don't you understand the current situation? With Biwa Juzang's return that day and his open statement that he wanted to run for the Mizukage, the entire front line is now in chaos!
Some people no longer care about the final outcome of this war; they have gone completely crazy for the position of Mizukage!
In the past three days, all the senior ninjas who had a chance to compete for the Mizukage had their information leaked!
Kaguya Tsubaki is dead! Hozuki Oborozuki is dead! Yukinoshita Kasumi is dead! Karatachi Yagura is also seriously injured!
Captain, wake up! Don't worry about the war or your companions! Once you have completed the mission, go back quickly. Only in this way can we return to the village alive!"
Qing didn't say the rest of the words more directly, but the meaning was already very clear -
Once everyone else dies, you'll also have a chance to reach that position!
Don't be confused at this time, Captain!
But the still young Mei Terumi cannot sit idly by and watch, or even take advantage of, this conspiracy with a clear conscience.
After all, she is not yet the mature and ruthless Fifth Mizukage of the future.
"Qing, don't talk about irrelevant things. Answer me truthfully first. Did your eyes see anything unusual in that direction?"
Qing could only answer helplessly, "No, I didn't see anything unusual."
"Okay, then let's go save them!" At that moment, Mei Terumi gave the order in a decisive tone.
Even though she knew that the front line had become a chessboard where a group of conspirators and ambitious people were secretly fighting each other, Mei Terumi still followed her heart and made the most sincere choice.
“Maybe many people don’t care about the war anymore, but I do!
Maybe the blood mist makes many people cruel, cold, and numb, and they no longer have trust and responsibility towards their comrades in the same village, but I don’t want to become like that!
Qing, I will not allow myself to watch my companions die within my reach and choose to stand by and do nothing!
Because if that happens, even if I become the Mizukage, what difference will there be between me and those guys who played with the blood mist and those white monsters?"
In fact, in the original work, at this period, Mei Terumi probably didn't have much idea about the position of Mizukage.
But now the runaway historical process is pushing this young girl to speed up and allow her to see her own heart more quickly!
She wanted to do something more for this already tattered Mist Hidden Front, even though this road had become extremely dangerous!
Qing couldn't say anything when he saw this, he could only follow in silence, loyally keeping watch all the way.
Soon, they arrived at the location where the distress signal was sent, and unexpectedly found that -
Both warring parties are actually “the same people”!
The Xiguashan Puffer Ghost is leading a team of people and is trying their best to hunt down Biwa Juzang!
