After Tianshui divided the names in the document into regions, he quickly assigned police officers to launch a capture operation. The police's series of actions quickly attracted the attention of the Mizukage. The Mizukage's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that Konoha might have noticed their conspiracy, so he hurried to the temporary station in the Hidden Rock Village to seek countermeasures from the Tsuchikage.

As soon as they arrived at the Iwagakure Village, the Mizukage went straight to the Tsuchikage. As soon as they met, he lowered his voice and said, "Tsuchikage, the police department is making a big move. Have they discovered our plan?"

The Tsuchikage waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "Mizukage, don't panic. The frequent actions of the police department do not mean that they have seen through our plan. The Daimyo will be attending the Chunin Exam in person soon, so it is normal for the police department to increase their alert at this time."

The Mizukage was still worried and frowned, "But what if? What if they really found out? What should we do?"

The Tsuchikage sneered and said confidently, "Mizukage, don't be timid and afraid of losing. There is no perfect plan in this world. Even if we are discovered, we just need to distance ourselves from the matter and never admit it. In the end, this fire will not burn us."

The Tsuchikage's words sounded extremely confident, as if he had already made all the arrangements for retreat. The Mizukage was still a little uneasy, but seeing how resolute the Tsuchikage was, he had to temporarily suppress his worries.

While the Mizukage was still hesitating, the Tsuchikage smiled calmly and said, "I will meet with the Kazekage and the Raikage to discuss this plan later. If you think the risk is too great, you can choose not to participate."

The Mizukage's heart trembled, and after thinking for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "I... will participate."

Seeing this, the Tsuchikage nodded slightly, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Yes, that's right! Just imagine, if our plan is realized, Konoha Village will fall into chaos and division, and we can take this opportunity to put pressure on them and force them to sign a ceasefire agreement that is beneficial to us.

By then, the resources of Konoha Village will become the treasure house of our four major ninja villages. That scene is really exciting! "The eyes of the Tsuchikage flashed with madness. His obsession had been deeply rooted in his heart, like a ferocious demon. However, the Mizukage remained calm and rational.

Deep in his heart, he kept questioning himself: Could Konoha Village really be defeated so easily? The Mizukage simulated various possible situations and consequences in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion - all this was just an unattainable fantasy.

He looked at the Tsuchikage's fanaticism and persistence and sighed inwardly, but he also understood that it would be futile to say more at this moment, so he decided not to persuade him anymore and let the Tsuchikage continue to indulge in his beautiful dream.

A moment later, the Kazekage and the Raikage arrived as invited. The Tsuchikage told them his plan in detail, hoping that they could join in.

After listening to this, the Raikage clapped his hands in agreement without hesitation: "Tsuchikage, this is a good plan. We in the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely cooperate with you fully."

Compared to the other Kages, the Kazekage seemed more cautious. He first glanced at the silent Mizukage, as if trying to read something from her expression, then looked at the Tsuchikage and Raikage, whose faces were full of fanaticism. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally decided to wait and see for the time being. After all, the relationship between the five major ninja villages was complicated, and any decision could affect the situation of the entire ninja world.

Seeing this, the Tsuchikage smiled slightly, his words full of attempts to win over others: "Kazekage, Mizukage, what do you think of this plan? Feel free to speak up and we can discuss it together." He stared at the two of them, trying to find some clues from their reactions.

The Mizukage smiled and said calmly, "Tsuchikage, your plan is good, but the spies planted by the Hidden Mist Village in Konoha have been removed, and we are really short of manpower." His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Obviously, he was not optimistic about this plan.

The Tsuchikage frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. But he did not show too much dissatisfaction, but nodded to show his understanding. After all, intelligence work is crucial to a war. Without sufficient spy support, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to attack Konoha.

However, when he turned his gaze to Fengying, there was a hint of disdain in his tone: "Fengying, what do you think? Aren't you also short of manpower?" There was obvious provocation in his words, as if he was deliberately angering Fengying.

The Kazekage could sense the contempt in the Tsuchikage's words, but he knew that the Sand Village was not as strong as the Iwagakure Village, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and force a smile: "The Sand Village does have a lot of spies planted. If the Tsuchikage needs them, we will arrange for them to carry out the mission."

Although the Kazekage agreed to the Tsuchikage's request on the surface, he already had a plan in mind. Whether the Sand Village spies would actually carry out their mission and how they would carry out their mission would ultimately be decided by him alone. He knew in his heart that he, like the Mizukage, was unwilling to participate in this risky conspiracy.

Seeing that both the Kazekage and the Raikage expressed their support, the Tsuchikage smiled with satisfaction and began to gradually implement the details of the plan. He deliberately assigned the most risky tasks to the Sand Village, and left the relatively easy tasks to the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village.

After the tasks were divided, the Tsuchikage pretended to be concerned and asked, "If you have any opinions on the tasks, you can raise them. I will try my best to meet your needs."

The Raikage couldn't wait to say, "The tasks are assigned very well. There is no need to change them. Let's move directly to the next item." He was obviously very satisfied with the Tsuchikage's arrangement and urged him to advance the plan as soon as possible.

Although the Kazekage was dissatisfied, he chose to endure it after weighing the pros and cons, and pretended to sit there as if nothing had happened. The Mizukage was watching coldly from the sidelines, taking in everything.

The secret meeting of the four shadows seemed to go very smoothly to the Tsuchikage and the Raikage, but in the eyes of the Kazekage and the Mizukage, it was just a ridiculous farce. After the meeting, the Raikage immediately went back to arrange for people to implement the plan, while the Kazekage and the Mizukage took the opportunity to leave in a hurry.

After leaving, the Mizukage raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to the Kazekage casually: "Kazekage, from the meeting just now, it seems that you are not satisfied with the Tsuchikage's arrangement." There was a hint of cunning and depth in his eyes.

Fengying's heart tightened, but he kept a vigilant expression on his face and asked, "Mizukage, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" His tone revealed suspicion and vigilance.

Seeing this, the Mizukage smiled slightly, then said softly: "Kazekage, you don't have to be so nervous. Don't worry, I won't stand on the side of the Tsuchikage. In fact, I don't think highly of his plan." His voice was calm and firm.

When the Kazekage heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that the Mizukage would support the Tsuchikage's decision, but he didn't expect that he would stand on his side. So, he asked tentatively: "So, what you said before about the lack of manpower is actually not true?"

The Mizukage smiled lightly and answered ambiguously: "Well...it can't be said to be completely false. After all, we do need enough manpower to carry out this task. But simply increasing the number of manpower will not solve the fundamental problem." His eyes flashed with wisdom.

The Kazekage couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect the Mizukage to express his opinion so frankly. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "You usually always support the Tsuchikage's decision. Why did you suddenly change your position this time?"

The Mizukage's eyes became profound, and he said lightly: "It may not be difficult to cause civil strife in Konoha Village, but it is simply a foolish dream to turn Konoha Village into our warehouse. Since this plan is doomed to fail, why should I get involved in it?" His words were full of confidence and insight.

The Kazekage was startled, and had a new understanding of the Mizukage's insight. He nodded in agreement, but couldn't help asking, "If that's the case, why don't you just alert the Tsuchikage and the Raikage?"

The Mizukage showed a meaningful smile: "I didn't say that, and you didn't say that, Kazekage, did you?"

The Kazekage said self-deprecatingly, "I am just a small character. Even if I tell you, it won't be taken seriously. On the contrary, it might annoy the Tsuchikage. But if you tell it, the Tsuchikage might reconsider it."

The Mizukage was flattered by the words of the Kazekage, and couldn't help but reveal his true thoughts: "Even if my words can be taken seriously, I won't say it. If the plan succeeds, the Tsuchikage will not be grateful to us; and if the plan fails, then we can take the opportunity to attack the Iwagakure Village."

When the Kazekage heard the Mizukage's true intention, he was shocked. He didn't expect the Mizukage to be so bold as to attack the Iwagakure Village.

The Mizukage realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he stopped trying to cover it up and said bluntly, "Since you already know, I will not hide it anymore. The Tsuchikage's plan is bound to fail. This is a great opportunity for us to join forces and attack the Iwagakure Village. After the success, the resources of the Iwagakure Village will be divided equally between our two families."

The Kazekage was still hesitant, but the Mizukage's proposal undoubtedly shook his inner defenses.
