Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

next day

Early in the morning, after finishing his morning exercise, Wuxin went to the Mizukage Building to pay his respects to the Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura had a calm and gentle expression, without any of the decadence and neurosis he had during the previous Ninja Wars.

After Wu Xin briefly described the status of his mission, he changed the subject and went straight to the point:

"Mr. Mizukage, the launch of the blood mist policy and the rumors that the bloodline limit is the source of chaos have caused every ninja in the village to feel insecure.

This seems to go against what you once stood for?"

Wuxin's question was very subtle. I thought Yagura would make excuses, but unexpectedly, Yagura just nodded lightly and said in a deep voice:

“Yes, it’s definitely off the mark.

But all of this is a strategy that must be implemented to achieve a long-term goal, and it is short-lived.”

Wu Xin's heart moved, and he asked:

"Short-lived? How long do you plan on it lasting?"

“Three years, three years can turn everything in the village around.

The longer I sit in this position, the more I can feel the difficulties that the third generation faced.

I was indeed too naive before. Those selfish ninjas will definitely be the source of unrest in the village!

If the village wants to be strong, it must destroy these powerful ninja clans!"

Yagura had a serious expression as he described his changes and reflections. After a brief pause, he continued:

“The ninjas trained in the new era are too weak.

During the Ninja World War, these Genin were like moths that flew to the Land of Fire and were burned to ashes.

Every time I read those report letters about failed missions, my heart feels like it's bleeding.

The first is the pain for the sacrifice of the Genin, and the second is the failure of the mission!

If the village continues like this, danger will get closer and closer to us.

Although we have the danger of the sea, there are many ninjas in the Fire Nation who are good at water escape techniques.

The second generation Hokage of Konoha was once known as the man with the strongest water-style jutsu.

With the ninjutsu and water jutsu passed down by the Second Hokage, the sea cannot block the Land of Fire.

If they want to, they are fully capable of crossing the sea and engaging in a naval war with us.

By that time, it will be too late for the village to cultivate outstanding ninjas!

Wuxin, you are an excellent jonin in the village. I have told you so much, can you understand my worries? "

The fourth generation Mizukage Yagura's final inquiry was very gentle, not much different from Wuxin's impression of Yagura.

At the same time, Wuxin also understood that the busy Fourth Mizukage could patiently talk to him so much, which showed that he attached great importance to his thoughts and positions.

However, Wuxin could understand this method of drinking poison to quench thirst, but he could not agree with it. He said in a deep voice:

"Fourth-generation sama, this cruel elimination-type method of training ninjas is now only practiced in our Hidden Mist Village in the ninja world.

All countries follow Konoha's example in training ninjas and adopt an open-minded selection approach, which is also the reason why Konoha has remained prosperous for so long.

The ninjas selected through the blood mist may be more outstanding and reliable in the early stages.

But in the long run, the ninjas who walked out of the blood mist could hardly be relied upon by the village.

Yondaime, if you are using this kind of method because of the temporary shortage of ninja power in the village, I cannot interfere.

Then, what is the reason for the rumor that the bloodline limit is a disaster spreading in the village, and the demise of the Snow Clan?

Do you want to completely eliminate the bloodline limit ninjas in the village? They are the backbone of the village! "

Mizukage Yagura did not answer immediately. He slowly adjusted his sitting posture, put his hands on the table, supporting his chin, and his posture seemed relaxed and in control.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, the Mizukage Yagura said slowly:

"No, I have never thought about liquidating the bloodline limit ninjas. This is a spontaneous action of the people."

Yagura explained quietly with a blank expression on his face. After a brief pause, he continued:

"The ninja clan relies on their secret ninjutsu and bloodline limits.

They put the interests of their clan above the village. During the campaign to attack the Fire Nation, the Snow Clan actually took the lead in retreating without any orders. This was a betrayal of the village!

If all the ninjas in the village were like the Snow Clan, then, would the village still be able to survive?"

Wuxin didn't answer. Yagura's avoidance of the question had already made his attitude clear.

The rumors about bloodline limits cannot be the spontaneous behavior of the people. There must be someone guiding them behind the scenes.

If this rumor ferments, it will definitely lead to a purge of bloodline limit ninjas. Wuxin doesn't believe that Yagura can't see this.

Yagura's reform encountered some difficulties. The solution was to directly use the methods of the third generation, but it was not as fair and aboveboard as the third generation.

Although the third generation's blood mist policy is backward, its purpose is not concealed at all.

Yagura called the blood mist a temporary strategy. As for whether the blood mist will be cancelled three years later, it is completely unknown.

Wuxin had no way of interfering with the decision of the Mizukage Yagura, and he had no more reasons to advise him than he did.

According to common sense, internal affairs are led by Yuan Shi. When Wu Xin handed over the task to Yuan Shi yesterday, Yuan Shi was still the same as before, like a kind old man.

It is hard to imagine that the Master would cooperate with the Mizukage and initiate such a cruel policy as the blood mist.

After a long silence, Wuxin nodded and said:

"I understand. Goodbye."

Wu Xin didn't say anything about his unconditional support. He bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Yagura watched Wuxin leave quietly. Even after Wuxin left for a long time, he was still looking at the office door, his thoughts drifting away.

Wu Xin left the Shuiying Building, turned around and looked at the Shuiying Building behind him, thinking:

“Mizukage…it looks like I need to spend some time monitoring him.

I hope this is just Yagura's impulsiveness and there is no mastermind behind this."

Yagura's mishap aroused Wuxin's suspicion, but during the communication and negotiation, the Mizukage was very sober and rational, and there was no sign of being manipulated at all.

He shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards home.

Wuxin's residence is about fifteen kilometers away from the Mizuying Building in the central area, and after constant practice and proficiency, Wuxin's Byakugan's maximum observation distance is now close to twenty kilometers.

While staying at home, Wuxin can also monitor the situation of the Shuiying Building.

Wuxin walked forward absent-mindedly and soon returned home. He jumped lightly in the yard and landed on the roof of the house. He sat down cross-legged without feeling dirty, clasped his hands together, and opened his white eyes under the forehead protector.

"Blind eyes!"

With the help of Wuxin's control, the Byakugan's vision extended all the way, and soon he saw the Mizukage Building. His vision passed through the wall, penetrated the door, and saw Mizukage who was writing and drawing at his desk.

From the Byakugan's perspective, Yagura's chakra was flowing normally in his body, there was no abnormal chakra in his brain, and there was no sign of him being manipulated by illusions.

"Is it that it is not controlled, or is it that the control is too advanced? It seems that it will take some time to prove it..."

Wuxin sighed inwardly, unable to make any judgement about the Mizukage's condition.

With a light sigh, Wuxin took out the banana leaf fan from his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the fan turned into a small fan that could be held in one hand.

Chakra was condensed in the fan, and Wuxin gently waved it towards the sky, and a wind blade shot into the sky.

"Banana Leaf Fan... Wind Style... My current strength has reached a bottleneck. It's time to study the second attribute."

After Wuxin performed wind escape several times with the banana leaf fan, he thought to himself.

Wuxin, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof, was monitoring the Mizukage with his Byakugan while manipulating the banana leaf fan and comprehending the wind-attribute chakra.
