Chapter 294: Collective Uprising

The Hidden Mist Village is not big, but it has created a myth. This wave of operations is quite explosive in the entire ninja world.

For a long time, all the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village have lived in a terrifying atmosphere where their lives are in danger at any time. Since entering the Ninja School, they have been told to kill people, and not to kill enemies, but to kill their companions who they have been with day and night. No normal person can bear this.

Ninjas are essentially human beings, so they naturally don't want to accept high-pressure rule, not to mention that the successors of Mizukage are more perverted and cruel. The previous one at least had a legitimate reason to kill people, but this one doesn't even bother to find an excuse. If he doesn't like you, he will just send a warrant to arrest you and kill you. Who can stand this?

At this time, Terumi Shiko was sitting in the office, cursing the ninjas under her command as useless because the unrest in the village was getting worse and worse: "What are you doing? You can't even deal with a few spies causing chaos. The village spends so much money every year to support you, but it's all for nothing!"

"Trash, it's all trash!"

Several high-ranking ninjas lowered their heads and said nothing, their dissatisfaction gradually spreading. You must know that the power structure of a ninja village is relatively fair. Everyone is the ruler of the village and represents the highest fighting power of the village. Why can you, Terumi Shikou, insult us like slaves?

It is true that you, Terumi Shiko, are the Mizukage, but we are not just minions who can be ordered around at will!

Even the powerful Hokage of Konoha Village, Hakugen Hayama, can't insult his subordinates. Do you think you, Terumi Shikou, can ride on the other person's head and shit on him?

An Anbu ninja arrived instantly, half-knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Report to the Mizukage-sama, a large-scale rebellion has occurred at the east gate of the village!"

Although the Hidden Mist Village has been stripped of the title of Kage, they still secretly call their leader the Mizukage, just for their own amusement behind closed doors.

Terumi Shiko's eyes lit up. Rebellion is good. Now she can kill the disobedient guys without restraint. As for whether the village will be seriously damaged by this, she clearly said that it is none of her business. Her purpose as the Mizukage is to destroy the village, so she will do it as quickly as possible.

The heir of that master hated the Hidden Mist Village and repeatedly ordered him to destroy it. On this point, the two of them had the same opinion. For Shimura Danzo, ninjas were just tools of rule. Since they were tools, they could not have their own thoughts and only needed to be obedient!

"This is rebellion! All of you, go and suppress the rebellion. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing Terumi Shiko's cruel order, the hearts of the people in the room were chilled. Someone immediately reminded them, "Lord Mizukage, the rebellion was just an act of instigation by a few people with ulterior motives. Most of the low-level ninjas may have been wrongly accused. Shouldn't we identify them?"

Terumi Zikou's expression turned cold, and she asked in a cold voice: "Are you questioning me?"

The ninja who was speaking was about fifty years old. He was a truly respected person in the village and had served as the leader of the jonin squad for a long time. He was panicked when he heard the words, and then he bravely said: "I dare not question you, sir, but you are so indiscriminate in clearing out your companions. Don't you really care about the foundation of the village?"

"Foundation?" Terumi Shikou laughed in anger: "The foundation of the village lies in me and the senior leaders, and they are just some usurpers! We must strike hard and eliminate them, otherwise who will take our words seriously in the future?"

"Where are the Terumi clan? Go after them and kill them!"

The head of the Terumi clan felt bitter upon hearing this. He looked at the unfamiliar Mizukage and wished he could kill him immediately. But now they were tied to the same chariot, and they would rise and fall together. He could not resist. He could only blame himself for being blind and supporting such a heartless guy as Mizukage!

"The garrisoned ninjas are untrustworthy. They are immediately relieved of their duties and placed under on-site supervision. From now on, all ninjas are not allowed to leave without my order!"

"Excuse me, Lord Mizukage, are we under supervision?" someone asked immediately.

Terumi Zikou stood up from her chair calmly, looked around and said, "You guys are all high-ranking officials in the village, and you are truly elites who have undergone the postgraduate entrance examination. Of course, you are not within the scope of supervision."

"In that case, I will return to work in the medical department!"

"I'm going back too!"

It was as if their butts were on fire. In the blink of an eye, all of them left, obviously disgusted by Terumi Zikou.

Terumi Zikou snorted coldly, turned to the clan leader and said, "Those who are not of our clan must have different hearts! At the critical moment, we have to rely on our own people. Go and gather the clan members to quell the rebellion now, and make sure to put them out in a short time!"

Chief Terumi was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, but in the end there was nothing he could do and he left in a depressed mood.

As soon as he left the Mizukage-sama, a ninja blocked his way: "Master clan leader, please follow me!"

Clan leader Terumi's eyes flickered, and she wanted to refuse, but for some reason she still followed. The two of them walked into a building one after the other, and they turned out to be the Anbu of the Hidden Mist Village!

So, the few people who were in Mizukage's office just now gathered together again, and everyone had a mysterious look on their face.

As soon as Chief Terumi sat down, someone immediately spoke up: "We want to overthrow Terumi Zikou's rule. What do you think?"

"..."

Patriarch Terumi opened her mouth and wanted to say a few good words for her niece, but after careful consideration, she realized that she had no achievements to show for herself!

The leader of the jonin squad slammed the table and said angrily, "The village has always been about democratic decision-making. In non-wartime, all matters, big or small, are discussed by the top leaders. This is the national policy set by the first generation! But since Terumi Shikou took over, she has been used to being arbitrary and even treated us like slaves! Now there is even a scandal of a large-scale rebellion, which is unprecedented in the decades of history of the ninja village! We can't continue like this, otherwise the Hidden Mist Village will perish!"

With fierce words and a firm attitude, the leader of the Jonin squad was the first to blow the horn of reckoning.

"Terumi Shikotsu is unworthy of her position, and her management of the village is a mess. First, the Mizunotsuki clan and the Kaguya clan rebelled against the village, and then the ninja troops stationed in the village mutinied. She has already caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people!"

"In diplomacy, they are submissive and treat the enemy as their father; internally, they strike hard and eliminate dissidents. I have never seen such a traitor!"

The more the Terumi clan leader listened, the more chilled he became. He looked at several people. Here were the head of the Anbu, the head of the jonin squad, the head of the medical department, the head of the mission department, the head of the intelligence department, and the captain of the village ninja. It can be said that all the powerful people in the entire Kirigakure Village were here. But the problem was that he was the last person to learn the news, which meant that the Terumi clan had been excluded from the core of power.

There are now only two paths before the Terumi clan: either follow Terumi Shikou until the end, or participate in the liquidation and suffer the consequences themselves.

It took only a few seconds for the Terumi clan leader to make up his mind. He said slowly, "Terumi Shiko's personality has changed drastically since a few years ago. I have reason to suspect that she has been controlled by the enemy ninja. As a member of the Hidden Mist Village, the Terumi clan is determined to obey the arrangements and safeguard the interests of the village at all costs!"

The jonin squad leader said soothingly, "The Terumi clan is a closely related fighting partner of the Hidden Mist Village and has withstood the test of several Ninja World Wars. We believe that the Terumi clan are all loyal to the village, and a traitor like Terumi Shikou is just an exception!"

"After overthrowing Terumi Shiko's rule, your clan's treatment will remain the same, and nothing will be reduced."

The leader of the Terumi clan knew that they couldn't trust even a single punctuation mark. No matter how nice they said it was, once the matter was over, the reckoning would begin! But there was no other way. All he could do was to bow his head and beg for mercy: "The Terumi clan has committed a serious crime. We dare not expect everything to remain the same. We only ask that you give us a place to recuperate!"

The head of the Anbu smiled and said, "You don't have to be so cautious. The village is not as strong as before, and we need to work together to boost our spirits. Naturally, we won't do anything that is not worth the loss."

"Mei Terumi from your clan is an absolute genius, and she is also a young person that the village intends to focus on training. After this incident, let her train in the Anbu!"

I am the fish on the chopping board, and Chief Terumi has no choice but to accept it carefully.

"Well, let's discuss how to overthrow Terumi Shiko. My suggestion is that you all return to your troops, publicize her faults, and mobilize the entire village to accomplish the task in one fell swoop!"

"I have no objection. The ninjas in the village have already been overwhelmed. As long as we raise our voice, everyone will respond!"

"I don't have any objection either!"

"it is good!"

The leader of the jonin squad stood up, looked around and said, "Everyone, the fate of the village depends on this. May the heroic spirits of our ancestors bless us!"

"This move will succeed!"

The storm stirred up by several spies eventually blew onto Terumi Shiko. To this day, the foresight of the Second Hokage continues. Facts have proved that Shimura Danzo is not a qualified leader. He is at most a politician, a politician who only seeks his own interests.
