Chapter 99 Madara’s mistake, an unexpected chess piece (please vote for me!!)

The land of water.

Everything as far as the eye could see was vast and dense white fog, and the meager skylight was completely blocked by the fog.

Looking from a distance, one could only see black shadows hidden under the clouds, and Kirigakure's outline melted into a hazy milky white.

Kirigakure Village is always so hazy in the fog, and the tall water towers are hidden in the fog.

It looked like they were covered by a white curtain. The villagers put up their collars and covered their mouths and noses while walking in the fog.

Perhaps they have always believed that when the wind comes and the fog dissipates, there will be sunshine.

But the wind never came. If the wind did come, these fogs would have dispersed long ago.

It seems as if the noisy wind from the outside world has traveled a long way to reach here, leaving behind the noise and chaos along the way, leaving only silence and solitude.

Therefore, no matter what happens in this village, it is difficult for the big country ninja village living on the mainland to hear the wind blowing from Kirigakure, and can only hear "the same as usual".

However, this time, they encountered an exception.

The noisy wind outside blew into Kirigakure, and the wind from Kirigakure also blew elsewhere, as if the entire shinobi world was filled with the sound of wind.

"Third Generation Sir, the actions of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost and Xue Yue failed."

The Third Mizukage just stood in front of the only window of the Mizukage Building, looking down at the slightly dim Kirigakure in the heavy fog, and at the crowd below like ants crawling on the ground.

In the village filled with white mist, a bloody color lingered for a long time, gradually invading Mizukage's office and gradually filling the entire space.

"fail?"

After a long period of dead silence, the Third Mizukage, who had his eyes closed, seemed to retract his gaze and looked behind Yagura, who had a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Obviously the other party still had his eyes closed, but when the other party looked over, Yagura felt a chill, subconsciously lowered his head lower, and whispered: "I have received the news that the invasion operation has failed. ”

"..."

The third Mizukage's face, as silent as a death, seemed to flash with a trace of pain at this moment, but soon fell into silence and lifelessness again.

It was a very brief and subtle change, but Yagura, who raised his eyes slightly at this moment, took in all this in his eyes, and his brows frowned subconsciously.

"What amazing news."

The Third Mizukage slowly turned around, looked out the window with his back to Yagura and said, "So, where are the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon and Xue Yue now? Don't they have the courage to face me anymore?"

Hearing this, Yagura put away the messy thoughts in his mind and replaced them with a more profound and complex sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Third Generation-sama."

Even though he had been horrified by it once before he came, Yagura still had a strange look on his face when he talked about it again, and said solemnly: "They may not be able to come to you in person to report their duties and admit their guilt."

"Because, the beheading team led by Suikoyama Fugu Oni, including Miya Castle, Kurigaraki Kushimaru, Black Hoe Raiga and Murashi Jinpachi, as well as the main force led by Xue Yue... have all died. The Kingdom of Whirlpool.”

"At the same time, according to the information we know, no survivors have been found yet!"

After saying that, he slightly raised his eyes again, but this time all he saw was the back of the third Mizukage.

However, Yagura felt that the sense of dissonance was getting stronger and stronger.

"……what happened?"

The Third Mizukage paused for a moment before continuing to ask in a calm tone: "Even if Konoha intervenes in time and causes the mission to fail, it is impossible for them all to die in the Country of Whirlpool."

Yagura naturally understood the meaning of his words. With the shrewd character of the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost, he would immediately run away once he discovered anything unusual.

Even if everyone else was treated as a victim by him, he would not die inexplicably in the Kingdom of Whirlpool. He would not care at all about the success or failure of the mission, let alone the life or death of his so-called companions.

Because he is the right-hand man of the Third Mizukage, he will only be held accountable by the top management after he comes back. The Third Mizukage will only give him a symbolic punishment, and no one dares to oppose the Third Generation's current decision.

"Perhaps in the eyes of the teacher, the importance of the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost has long surpassed mine." Yagura thought to himself.

But now, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost is dead...

"According to the traces and intelligence we collected, someone knew about our actions in advance and carried out targeted ambushes and attacks."

At this point, Yagura suddenly paused and whispered: "I received news from the underground money exchange. A lot of bounties have been collected against our Kirigakure, including those people from the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost. Inside."

"Furthermore, based on the traces on the scene, we finally concluded that maybe, maybe, it was not Konoha who did it, but an unknown force."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air seemed to become silent.

"..." The Third Mizukage repeated, "It was not done by Konoha? An unknown force?"

Not to mention the old man hiding in the dark at the moment, Yagura himself doubted his own speculation.

As for the details of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, with the secret guidance and help of Bai Jue, the intelligence department had already investigated them thoroughly.

Unless Konoha is truly sincere and will assist the Country of Whirlpool even at the risk as soon as it receives information about Kirigakure's unusual movements, then it is possible to block their Kirigakure attack.

Otherwise, the two kittens of the Whirlpool Kingdom, who had long been addicted to false peace, would not be able to deal with Kirigakure's premeditated actions.

However, the reality is so absurd...

"Although we did not find the body of the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, the bodies of other people with their heads cut off have been recovered."

Yagura lowered his head, puzzled, but still said truthfully: "Based on our calculations of the traces of the battle in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, in the end, no matter how unbelievable it is, it is still the case."

Those traces really don't look like Konoha's doing.

Because Konoha can no longer find a second "White Fang".

After telling the story of his and others' speculations, Yagura raised his head slightly as if he felt something.

Seeing the third generation Mizukage with a cold aura, the terrifying chakra has turned into substance, flowing like water on the surface of the body.

The atmosphere of the entire space gradually became extremely heavy, making Yagura find it difficult to move and breathe.

"I don't want to hear about anyone's death right now. They deserve to die if they don't complete their mission."

The third Mizukage turned his head slightly and seemed to be looking at Yagura, and said with a hint of coldness in his originally calm tone: "I just want to know how many Uzumaki clan members survived and where the surviving Uzumaki clan members went. "

Now that the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost and the others are dead, it doesn't matter that things are irreversible.

What's more, the "Third Generation Mizukage" doesn't care about the "tool"'s life or death.

If a useful "tool" is broken, just replace it with a batch of inferior ones.

Now the most important thing is.

The chess piece that suddenly jumped out of nowhere was playing tricks behind his back, and it actually avoided the eyes of Uchiha Madara, the chess player.

Not only did it completely disrupt his plan to wipe out the Uzumaki clan, it even put the "Third Generation Mizukage" chess piece in his hand into an embarrassing situation where no one could use it for a short time!
