Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Three days later, the news that the Third Mizukage sent people to investigate the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon and the Tongcao Wild Bait Man reached the ears of the two!

"Pufferfish ghost, what should we do? The Third Hokage is investigating us. What if we are found out about human trafficking?!" The Tongcao Yebairen was having a secret conversation with the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost at this time.

"It seems that the Sandaime is determined to reform and open up! He actually investigated us! Damn it! It's really a ghost!" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost cursed

"Puffer fish ghost, how should we respond now? If the human trafficking is investigated, we will be dismissed and imprisoned!" said the Tongcao Yebairen anxiously.

"It's all your men who acted on their own. I told them to behave themselves for a while, but they wouldn't listen!" The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost said hatefully.

"You and I are in the same boat! What's the point of saying this now! Let's think of a solution first!" Tongcao Yeyei said helplessly, and he hated his disobedient subordinates in his heart!

"It is said that the people investigating us are from the Mizunotsuki clan. Humph, they really are willing to do anything to get promoted, and they actually stretched their hands to our heads!"

"Get rid of those men of yours first, so there will be no evidence! Cut off the chain of clues, and then keep quiet for a while!" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost stated his countermeasures.

Tongcao Yebairen nodded in agreement, and just as the two continued their secret conversation, there was a knock on the door!

"Who's outside? Come in!" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost interrupted his secret conversation with the two people and ordered outside the door.

After the door opened, it was Xiguashan Fugugui's subordinate who knelt on one knee and said, "Master Fugugui, the Third Mizukage sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to go to the Mizukage's office now!"

"I understand, please step back!"

The men left the secret room and closed the door.

"The Third Hokage suddenly summoned me. Could it be that the truth has been revealed and he wants me to go over and confront him?!" The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was also a little panicked at this time.

"Puffer fish ghost, what should we do? Should we go or not? Otherwise, we should just defect and leave the village!" said the Tongcao Yebai man.

After thinking for a moment, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost said, "It shouldn't be that serious. If the investigation has been thorough, the Sandaime should have sent people to arrest him directly instead of sending people to notify us. There should be room for maneuver. I'll go there!"

A quarter of an hour later, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost came to the Mizukage's office, "Lord Mizukage, what do you want from me?"

Xiguashan Puffer Ghost heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everything around and inside the Mizukage's office was the same as before, and his subordinates had all retreated.

"Puffer ghost, you have followed me for so many years, you should know my temper. I will turn a blind eye to some petty gains, but human trafficking is too much!"

After hearing what Dihuang Wan said, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost was shocked and knelt down quickly, "Lord Mizukage, I was also blinded by lard. I beg Lord Mizukage to have mercy! I am willing to make amends!"

At this time, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost was not very anxious, because the Third Mizukage dismissed his subordinates and said it directly, obviously with other purposes. He was waiting for the next words of the Third Mizukage!

"Fugu, I was the one who promoted you. I also gave you the big Samehada on your back! You disappoint me!"

As for Dihuang Wan, point it to him again, your strength and status have been achieved today with my help!

"Lord Mizukage, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise I won't do it again! Please have mercy on me!" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost squeezed out a few tears.

"What a good actor!" Dihuang Wan complained in his heart.

"Alas, if I hadn't promoted you, I would have ordered you to be dismissed and imprisoned long ago! Since you want to make amends, I'll give you a way out. Hand over all your illegal gains and be temporarily dismissed and put on standby!"

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost cursed inwardly: "Fuck, you old man, you are so evil! I worked so hard to amass wealth, but you took it all away with just one word! You even took back all the power in my hands!"

But on the surface, he bowed his head and said respectfully: "I will follow the orders of Mizukage-sama!"

"Well, Pufferfish Ghost, you should take a rest for a while. I will use you again when the time is right!"

This sentence is to tell the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost that you'd better be honest, otherwise, you will never be able to return to the center of power!

"Yes, Mizukage-sama, I will reflect on this carefully!"

"I'll give you two days to prepare. After two days, I'll go and take back your illegal gains!"

"Yes, Mizukage-sama!"

Dihuang Wan waved his hand, and the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost left the Mizukage's office.

After the Xiguashan puffer ghost left, Dihuang Wan showed a playful smile, "Puffer ghost, I haven't done it for a long time, and my hands are itching!"

In the secret room, Xiguashan's pufferfish ghost and Tongcao wild bait people gathered again. Xiguashan has greeted the three generations of Mizukage's ancestors for eighteen generations!

"The Sandaime is too cruel! This is just suspension from work and confiscation of property! The fact that he doesn't have to go to jail is still a consideration for our feelings!" Tongcao Yeeren's face was not looking good either!

He is in the same boat with the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, and his fate is the same as the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, both of them are very unwilling to accept it!

"Puffer fish ghost, let's defect! With money in hand, we can live freely anywhere! Why should we suffer this?" Tongcao Yebairen instigated.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became terrifying, "No, we will not defect, we will replace them!"

"you mean?!"

"That's right. Since the Sandaime is so unkind, don't blame me for being unfair! He is just an ordinary Kage! If the two of us join forces, the outcome is still unknown!"

"But how can we have the chance to do it?"

"Of course. In two days, he will come to take the profits from our human trafficking. He will definitely come to take it himself so that he can put it in his own pocket! We will take this opportunity to set up an ambush in advance. We will succeed if we plan carefully!"

After listening to what the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost said, Tongcao Yebairen felt himself getting excited. "Okay, let's do it! From now on, Kirigakure will belong to the two of us brothers!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

In the secret room, the only sound was wild laughter!

Two days later, the Third Mizukage came alone to the residence of the Puffer Demon at Xigua Mountain!

"Hmph, this greedy old thing!" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost cursed in his heart!

Following his signal, the Tongcao Yebai people and his men were ready!

And Dihuang Wan's mouth corners slightly raised, "Sure enough, you can't help but act!"

An operation to assassinate the Mizukage quietly unfolds!

………………

An hour later, the news that Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon and Tongcao Yebairen failed to assassinate the Mizukage and were killed by the Third Mizukage instead spread throughout the entire Kirigakure!

That evening, the Mizukage Office issued a formal announcement!

"The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon, the Grass Wild Bait Man, and their gang members violated the Kirigakure ban and trafficked in human beings. The evidence is solid, but they refused to repent. After the incident, they attempted to assassinate the Third Mizukage and replace him, but fortunately they failed and were executed on the spot by the Third Mizukage. The large sword Samehada and the blunt sword Kabuto were taken back. The gang members of the two who participated in the assassination were all executed. Those who did not participate in the assassination were dealt with according to the Kirigakure laws and regulations!"

Time goes back to the night when Dihuangwan and Mizunoe Hyoga had their conversation.

"All human traffickers deserve to die!" Dihuang Wan said angrily.

"Lord Bingyu! According to the laws and regulations of Kirigakure, the two of them will at most be dismissed from their posts and imprisoned, but they will not be sentenced to death!" Mizunoe Binghe said.

"Then let's set up a trap, reveal the information of the investigation to them, and let them take the risk themselves!" Dihuangwan said.

"Yes, Master Bingyu!"

So, Dihuang Wan intervened and directed a big assassination drama!

At this point, the reform policies promoted by Dihuang Wan were no longer hindered by anyone and began to be implemented!
