Konoha's up and down 50 years

Regardless of whether it is a coup or bringing order to chaos, no matter which position he stands on, Yagura does not dare to openly take action in the village.

Although the Third Mizukage has been unpopular in recent years, after all, he has managed the village for nearly 20 years and carries the name of "Kage". Once they fight in the village, those ninjas will only help the Third Mizukage.

Moreover, this is not a fight between genin. If it is completely left out, the village is likely to be destroyed because of it.

This is not what Yagura wants to see.

If possible, he would prefer to secretly deal with the third Mizukage outside the village, and then announce the disappearance of the third Mizukage, so as to successfully control the village and restore everything to the previous situation.

"I hope everything goes well." Yagura murmured as he looked at the moon, whose outline could only be vaguely seen in the thick fog.

……

……

December of the 36th year of Konoha.

Under the orders of the Third Mizukage, Loquat Juzo left the village with five people to follow the traces of the traitorous ninja Suigetsu.

At the same time, several more ninjas defected in the village. The Third Mizukage was furious and immediately sent ANBU ninjas to hunt them down.

Three days later, late at night, the third Mizukage lived.

Swish!

Yagura appeared in front of the door of the third Mizukage's room. Through the window, he looked at the lights in the house that had not been extinguished. His eyes flickered slightly, then he walked forward and knocked hard on the door.

"What's the matter."

Hearing a knock on the door, the Third Mizukage opened the door and walked out.

Yagura half-knelt on the ground and immediately replied, "Mizukage-sama has an emergency. The patrol found traces of Suigetsu outside the village."

"Suigetsu? Didn't Juuzang say it's in the easternmost part of the Kingdom of Water?"

"I don't know, but the patrol team and Shuiyue fought. They are still fighting, but there are heavy casualties."

"I understand." The Third Mizukage nodded, and called softly to the shadow, "Yinjiu."

A ninja wearing ANBU costume and a black mask appeared on the ground out of thin air, half-kneeling and said, "What are your orders, Lord Mizukage the Third?"

"Mobilize all the ANBU in the village and guard every corner of the village. If anyone suspicious appears, kill them directly."

"Yes."

After Ingata left, the Third Mizukage continued, "Let's go. If we delay Suigetsu any longer, it's time for Suigetsu to escape."

Yagura froze in place with some hesitation.

He hesitated not because the plan didn't go well, but because it went too smoothly, which made him feel a little unreal.

If he were the Third Mizukage, he would not go by himself first, and even if he went, he would bring a dozen ANBU to follow him.

But the Third Mizukage was on the good side and prepared to go directly without even bringing an ANBU with him. This made Yagura's previous words of being prepared to deal with various situations useless.

The Third Mizukage is a little overconfident...

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"No... just go directly like this?"

"Of course, I know Suigetsu's strength very well. He can't hurt me, not to mention you and the patrol team are there?" The third Mizukage had an inexplicable smile on his face.

There were fluctuations in Yagura's eyes, and then he took a deep breath and walked ahead to lead the way.

…………

Under the leadership of Yagura, the two quickly arrived at a forest on the edge of Kirigakure Village.

Swish!

The two continued to pass through the forest, and finally landed on a clearing.

"The Third Mizukage, you are here."

Shuiyue, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the black-haired man in front of her with a complicated expression.

He had known the Third Mizukage for decades, but a person he was so familiar with that he couldn't be more familiar with him had undergone tremendous changes. He ruled the Kirigakure Village for several decades with bloodier methods than any other Mizukage. Years long.

The Third Mizukage raised his eyes to look at him. In his eyes, Suigetsu couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

That indifferent look is chilling.

"Why did you betray me?"

Suigetsu shook his head, "When the second-generation Mizukage-sama was still alive, he taught us that we must protect the village and this country no matter what."

"But what you did, killing people at will, the Persecution Department, in my opinion, you are no longer the Third Mizukage, but a sinner of the village. I will kill you here today."

"Just you?"

"Of course it's not just him!"

At this time, Yagura, who was standing behind the Third Mizukage, suddenly took out his kunai and stabbed the Third Mizukage in the back.

After being stabbed, the Third Mizukage staggered forward and looked at Yagura in shock, "Even you..."

After Yagura succeeded, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect it, you can't run away today."

Swish swish!

Many ninjas had been ambushed around the forest. The moment Yagura gave the order, dozens of Kirigakure appeared and surrounded the Third Mizukage.

"These are ninjas who are dissatisfied with you." Yagura said indifferently, giving orders to many Kirigakure, "Take down the Third Mizukage!"

"Hahaha."

Uncharacteristically, the Third Mizukage burst into laughter.

"Yakura, Yagura, you came up with such a plan to deceive me from the investment network. Unfortunately, you still misjudged one thing. Take a closer look at who I am!?"

As he spoke, his face gradually disappeared and slowly turned into a white creature.

Seeing such a strange scene in front of him, Yagura felt his scalp numb. The dignified Third Mizukage was actually someone else pretending to be?

"Okay, don't play anymore." A slightly depressed voice came from a distance.

step, step, step

The man walked slowly and came to a dozen steps away, looking at everyone coldly.

"Why are you here so quickly? I haven't performed enough yet." Bai Zetsu said with a smile, but when he felt the coldness in Fugaku's eyes, he immediately stopped smiling.

Yagura frowned, looking at the man with long hair and a black patterned mask. Through the small hole in the mask, there was a strange three-magatama Sharingan.

"Uchiha...are you sent from Konoha?!"

Speaking of which, the Third Mizukage began to become violent after Konoha returned. If Konoha was really behind the scenes, this would indeed explain it clearly.

But the masked man let out a suppressed laugh and said softly in a slightly deep voice, "Konoha... I haven't been back to that village for a long time."

"Mysterious, who are you?"

"Everyone calls me——Uchiha Madara."

Suigetsu on the side sneered, "If you are Madara Uchiha, then I will be the First Hokage."

Yagura raised his stick decorated with green flowers toward the ground and said angrily, "Any ninja who dares to manipulate the Third Mizukage and play tricks on Kirigakure Village, no matter who you are, you will die here today."

Yagura's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his Kirigakure subordinates couldn't believe for a moment that their Mizukage-sama was actually someone else pretending to be him.

"Tricked you, so what?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the masked man's voice. He came alone today, so he was naturally well prepared.

As he finished speaking, a dark purple barrier enveloped the forest.

A fog ninja on the edge couldn't help but touch it with his hand. When he touched the edge of the dark purple barrier, it instantly turned into a fireball and his whole body burned.

In just a few seconds, the burned object disappeared into this space without leaving any dust behind.

"...be careful, this is the Four Purple Flame Formation." Yagura warned.

"It's quite knowledgeable." The masked man sneered, and his eyes turned into strange patterns in an instant.

.........

Half an hour later, the barrier was stained red with blood.

Fugaku took off the mask and wiped the blood stains on it.

For him now, things like a coup can easily be nipped in the bud.

But he didn't do that.

You know, the third generation Mizukage transformed by Bai Zetsu is very easy to control, but his strength is much worse than before.

The next thing will probably require Mizukage to fight. Once the third generation Mizukage fights, his true strength will be exposed, and the problem will be discovered.

He desperately needed a replacement.

And Yagura was secretly plotting a coup, and his strength and prestige were very suitable, so he kept conniving and came here in person today in order to control Yagura with the illusion of Sharingan.

Next, all we need to do is let Yagura become the Fourth Mizukage and continue to be his puppet.

Fugaku put on his mask again and looked at Bai Zetsu.

"As Yinjiu, inform the village jounin and say..."

"The third Mizukage is missing."
