Water Country, Kirigakure Village.

Sunny day.

The moment when the fog that has been covering the village for years completely dissipated.

The moment the villagers of Kirigakure Village saw the sun, they took out their wet quilts and hung them on the clothesline outside the door, looking forward to taking back the warm quilts full of sunshine after a busy day.

"The weather is really good today, but I always feel that there are fewer quilts than before."

"Yes, the village is also quiet."

"Didn't you notice? There are fewer people in the village?"

"It seems so, where did everyone go?"

"My neighbor's son is a ninja. I heard their conversation a few days ago. He said that our village has received a big job."

As soon as the voice fell, the air was quiet for a moment, and then the villagers turned their heads and looked at the middle-aged man who had just spoken.

A few days ago, they noticed that the atmosphere in the village was a little deserted, but they didn't care too much.

But when they learned the truth of the matter, the villagers became a little curious.

How big a job is it that can make the village so deserted.

"I can't really tell how big this job is!" The middle-aged man saw that everyone's eyes were focused, and said hesitantly, "But I vaguely heard that the deposit alone is as high as 200 million."

"Hiss~"

There was a sound of gasps around, and the air became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although they were not ninjas, they also understood what this number meant.

200 million

Even the starting price of an S-level mission is only 1 million taels.

Now.

This huge number is just the "deposit" for an unknown mission, and their real reward is completely unimaginable.

This is very likely to be a super S-level mission in the history of the ninja world, with a mission reward that is enough to rank among the top few.

Realizing this, the light in the villagers' eyes became more and more fiery, and their faces were full of ecstasy.

"."

Terumi Mei walked through the group of enthusiastically cheering villagers expressionlessly.

The news finally got out.

The villagers were attracted by the huge number, but completely forgot the risk of the mission.

How could such an easy reward be obtained?

"Yunyin Village" She raised her head gently, looking in the direction of Yunyin Village, and prayed for her companions in a voice that only she could hear, "You must come back safely."

However, when her eyes fell on the streets that were more deserted than usual, the uneasiness in Terumi Mei's heart became stronger.

After hesitating for a moment, she quickened her pace and went straight to the residence of the "Yuanshi" elder.

Everyone in the village was overwhelmed by the huge number, and even the former think tank "Yuanshi" elder did not raise any objections, which was very abnormal.

The residence of the Yuanshi elder was located in the downtown area of ​​the village.

The streets here were not full of various noisy sounds like other downtown areas, but there was a strange quietness.

The villagers couldn't help but slow down their pace and whispered when they passed by, and even the vendors on both sides restrained their hawking.

However, this quietness was broken by a sudden anxious call.

"Master Yuan!"

Ming Terumi jumped down from the roof, looked at the simple courtyard in the distance, quickly passed through the crowd, and shouted across the wall, "Master Yuan, are you there?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped up again, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a group of villagers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Snap!

With a light sound, Mei Terumi landed steadily in the small courtyard, and found that Master Yuan was sitting there quietly, sipping tea and playing chess with her leisurely.

"I am not dead yet, and the sky will not fall." Master Yuan gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea surface. The old and steady voice seemed to contain some kind of magic, which instantly calmed the anxiety in Mei Terumi's heart.

Mei Terumi trotted over, poured herself a cup of tea, and said worriedly, "Master Yuanshi, I just came back and heard that Lord Mizukage took people away from the village.

Why didn't you try to stop him at that time?"

Master Yuanshi didn't raise his eyelids, focusing on the chess game in his hand.

After thinking for a moment and figuring out how to make the next move, he replied, "As a chess player, you must focus on the overall situation, think about maximizing benefits, and try to preserve your own strength."

"What do you mean?" Mei Terumi, who had just caught her breath, blinked and asked in confusion.

Master Yuan stared at the center of the chessboard, gently twisted the chess piece with his right hand, and slowly dropped it.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the chess game that seemed to be a dead end instantly came to life.

"."

Although Mei Terumi couldn't understand the chess game, she could understand the old man.

Seeing the Master taking back the chess pieces one by one, she asked again, "Master, did you win again?"

"It was a miserable win!" After Master put away the chess pieces, he shook his head and said, "Prepare for the election of the Fifth Mizukage. I still have high hopes for you."

Hearing this, Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Where is the Fourth?"

The Master looked in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his turbid eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"Yakura, he can't come back!!"

Terumi Mei stood up suddenly, her face full of horror.

What the hell can't come back? ?

Took a big job, and also involved the Mizukage? ?

"Sit down!"

Genshi gently pressed down his palms. Although there was no obvious expression on his withered face, there was a trace of sadness in his old voice, "The Yondaime Mizukage Goju Yagura, whom the villagers once admired so much, unexpectedly died. Unknowingly becoming someone else's puppet.

During that period, he personally committed a series of actions that harmed the interests of the village.

For the villagers, this is the collapse of faith; for Yagura himself, it is the biggest joke of his life. "

"puppet?"

Terumi Mei, who had been sitting just now, stood up again, the look of horror on her face becoming more intense.

What is this all about?

Isn't it a big job? Why is Mizukage-sama still a puppet?

"sit down!"

Genshi pressed his palms again, glanced at the unsteady Terumi Mei, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, "In Yagura, he announced to the village that he would take over this "commission" and announced that he would take away many ninjas. Later, I became suspicious.

Although the reward is generous enough, it would obviously not be in the interest of the village to start a war with Yunyin Village. "

"Then you found out that Mizukage-sama was being controlled?" Mei Terumi exclaimed.

"So be it!" Master Yuan nodded heavily, and the scene where the Fourth Mizukage finally got rid of control and regained his freedom appeared in his mind.

At that time, the two of them stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the setting sun in the distance.

At that moment, it was like turning back time, allowing them to return to the youthful years full of passion and blood.

"Master Yuan, I want to take over this task."

"Why? Compared to your safety, a few hundred million taels is nothing."

"Master Yuan, do you still remember my childhood dream?"

"Remember, becoming the greatest Mizukage, ending the war, and destroying all enemies that threaten the village?"

"Master Yuan..."

The Yondaime Mizukage slowly turned around, looking across the sea to the village in the distance, and then landed on the nearby Kumogakure Village. There was a slight ripple in his calm eyes, "Am I not the enemy of the village? "

"Having killed so many villagers, am I not the enemy of the village?"

"Use the enemy's head in exchange for huge rewards; use this to undermine the momentum of Cloud Hidden Village; frame all my abnormal behaviors to Konoha; and find opportunities to get rid of the black hands that control Kirigakure Village, and eliminate those who hinder the village's reform. A stumbling block, paving the way for the next generation of Mizukage.”

"One stone kills several eagles."

"Yuanshi."

“The most important thing is”

"I don't want to spend the rest of my life in Kirigakure Village full of guilt." The Yondaime Mizukage slowly took off the weapon from his back, his seemingly childish face filled with murderous intent.

The air around him suddenly became heavy, as if even time had stood still.

Then, a deep and firm voice echoed:

"You must really hate such a scary Mizukage, right?"

"You must hate the Mizukage for managing the village like that, right?"

"but"

"The Yondaime Mizukage doesn't want to see the villagers hesitating to speak when they mention the name "Gotachibana Yagura" in the future."

As he spoke, a majestic chakra burst out suddenly, like a tsunami, whipping up a raging wind on the beach, ravaging everything around him.

This force was so strong that it caused the Yunyin Village in the distance to shake. The sharp siren instantly cut through the sky and resounded through the sky.

The Yondaime Mizukage slowly raised his head, his eyes penetrated the strong wind, and looked directly at the sudden thunder and lightning in the direction of Kumogakure Village, and shouted, "The Yondaime Mizukage, Goju Yagura, but I am!!"

Everything around him suddenly stopped, as if the whole world had been pressed on the pause button, the air solidified, and everything seemed to be sucked into a silent vacuum without any sound.

The next second.

Waves of low and muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the silent air.

The Kumogakure ninjas who were rushing over stopped in unison and looked at the huge waves tens of meters high on the seashore, with horror on their faces.
