As the door opened, Kawasaki stepped inside, a slight smile playing on his lips, his expression carrying a hint of mystery...
Chapter 63 Kawasaki's Showdown! Obito's Shock! The Name of Mr. Kawasaki!
Kawasaki's original intention in coming to Kirigakure was to find a few promising individuals to bring back.
Whether the Hidden Mist is shrewd or foolish is irrelevant to him.
Therefore, he directly facilitated the contact between Kyoko Kurita and Mei Terumi.
After all, Mei Terumi will soon be in power, and she is already a very important faction within Kirigakure.
"I have long admired Mr. Kawasaki. With a talent like yours in the Uchiha clan, the restoration of its former glory is just around the corner."
Mei Terumi remained polite at the beginning, after all, Tsuyoshi Kawasaki had provided them with evidence of the Mizukage's collusion with the enemy.
Moreover, the fact that this evidence was found on a Konoha ninja is quite intriguing.
Kawasaki looked at Terumi Mei, who was tall, mature yet graceful, with some confusion.
Do those hidden in the mist all turn a blind eye? Such beauty goes unnoticed.
But Kawasaki had no other intentions than to visit Mei; his trip was solely for official business.
"You flatter me. Miss Terumi Mei is also exceptional. Once this is confirmed, the position of the next Mizukage will undoubtedly belong to you."
After some pleasantries, Kawasaki and Mei Terumi got down to business.
"How does Mr. Kawasaki intend to cooperate with us?"
Mei Terumi asked.
"If you want to rightfully take the position of Mizukage, you must publicly expose the fact that Yagura is under the control of illusion."
"Now, there's probably no one in the village who can guarantee they can suppress the Water Shadow, right?"
It's not just that they're difficult to suppress; nowadays, Kirigakure is severely lacking in high-end combat power, and many famous bloodline limit families have been almost wiped out by Obito.
Mei Terumi is not yet strong enough to challenge the Fourth Mizukage alone.
Mizukage also possesses a unique skill... the Water Mirror Technique.
The Water Mirror Technique creates a water mirror that reflects an exact copy of the enemy, allowing the user to use the same ninjutsu and possess equal power.
Therefore, as a Jinchūriki, Yagura Karatachi was virtually unhindered in Kirigakure.
This is also the fundamental reason why Mei Terumi was unable to act despite her doubts earlier... because she was no match for her strength.
The Mist Village was already riddled with holes; sacrificing even more lives to fight a direct confrontation would be too much of a loss.
Mei Terumi looked at Kawasaki with an inquiring gaze, and Kawasaki smiled gently.
"If I can get this evidence, I'm confident I can deal with the Fourth Mizukage."
Mei Terumi nodded, naturally acknowledging the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Did Mr. Kawasaki go to all this trouble just to help me rise to power?"
Mei Terumi leaned back lazily in her chair, exuding charm.
However, Kawasaki ignored this and waved his hand, saying, "Just call me Kawasaki. You should know the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha."
Mei Terumi nodded; she naturally understood the delicate situation between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
The two sides maintained only a superficial peace, and the Uchiha clan hardly participated in any other affairs of Konoha except for carrying out some missions for Konoha.
It's like a foreign ninja seeking refuge.
The reasons behind this have already spread throughout the ninja world.
Mei Terumi smiled and said, "Mr. Kawasaki, please just say what you want."
Kawasaki held up two fingers: "After it's done, I need two people, and I also need you to find two more for me."
"Oh? Which two people have managed to attract Mr. Kawasaki's attention?"
Kawasaki nodded and pointed to Kyoko Kurita: "Her, and Kisame Hoshigaki."
Mei Terumi glanced at Kyoko Kurita and gave Kawasaki a meaningful look.
After a moment's thought, he thought, "Kyoko Kurita and Kisame Hoshigaki are both under Suigetsu Hobutsuki's command, so he won't let go easily."
Kawasaki spread his hands: "It doesn't matter. Suigetsu Hozuki is already a dying man, why should I care about his feelings?"
Mei Terumi frowned: "What makes you say that?"
Kawasaki chuckled: "This time, Suigetsu Fuguki ruined his plans. How long do you think Fuguki can live?"
"Are you sure?"
Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Suigetsu Hozuki is a veteran in Kirigakure, in charge of the Cipher Department and another assassination squad.
Since Yagura Karatachi was controlled by illusion magic, Fuguki has lived a secluded life and rarely appears in public.
He is one of the few remaining figures in the Hidden Mist Village who can still hold the fort.
However, Hozuki does not support Mei Terumi taking over, so for Mei Terumi, Hozuki's existence is a stumbling block.
The Misty Shadows have been ruined to this extent.
Mei Terumi has decided to first destroy and then rebuild.
Stubborn individuals like Suigetsu Hobutsuki from 893 are bound to be targets for elimination from 64.
"I am confident that as long as I keep a close eye on Kisame Hoshigaki, Suigetsu Fuguki will surely die."
"That will be the best time for you to take down Yagura Karatachi."
Terumi pondered for a moment, then thought, "Anyway, they're just two rogue ninjas."
"Okay! I agree!"
"Kisame, you bastard..."
Ouch... Suigetsu Hozuki coughed up blood again.
I never expected that my most trusted subordinate would turn against me.
Another stab came, and Suigetsu Hobutsu felt all his strength drained away.
He then collapsed heavily.
Kisame crouched down and removed Samehada from the back of Suigetsu Hobutsuki.
This is his spoils of war.
Kisame kicked the corpse and turned to leave.
At this time, a voice sounded.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kisame."
Kisame gripped Samehada as he turned around.
"I predicted that he would lower his guard against his subordinates, and sure enough, he did."
“This guy is colluding with the enemy. From now on, you will be the master of Samehada and will become my subordinate.”
When Kisame saw that it was the Water Shadow, he released his grip on Samehada, but did not show any joy.
He forced a fake smile: "In the end, I can't escape the fate of being eliminated by you, Fourth Mizukage."
For a long time, Kisame's missions have been either to kill his comrades or his superiors.
Even though the other party was the Fourth Mizukage, Kisame still felt no sense of belonging.
"It is precisely because you have completed countless dirty tasks for the country and the village, and personally experienced countless betrayals, that people like you are even more trustworthy."
Shuiying said expressionlessly.
"Because you understand that this world is full of hypocrisy."
Kisame's expression remained unchanged: "I already understood this when I first killed my comrades."
"As a ninja of Kirigakure, yet I kill other ninjas of Kirigakure, then what am I?"
Kisame seemed to be asking the Mizukage, and also seemed to be asking himself.
"Friend or foe, what are my goals, and where does my stance lie..."
"Where shall I go, and where can I find peace?"
Kisame looked at his hands.
"I only feel deeply that I am just a hypocrite."
A dark figure emerged from behind the expressionless Fourth Mizukage...
Kisame was suddenly startled.
A deep voice drifted over: "Let me free you, and help you escape this sea of hypocrisy and suffering."
"Should I find you a place to stay?"
"Who are you?...
Kisame Hoshigaki immediately became alert, his hand already on the hilt of his greatsword Samehada.
“Starting from this country, you have worked tirelessly to punish your comrades; from now on, you will act in the name of my comrades.”
The deep voice sounded again.
Kisame sensed the other party's unusual trust in him and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in me, but I don't know your true identity yet."
In the darkness, a bright red Sharingan quietly opened.
Kisame Hoshigaki felt a chill run down his spine; this was...!
Those eyes that gleamed in the darkness...
Kisame suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is. The Fourth Mizukage I thought was you..."
"You manipulated the Fourth Mizukage with those Sharingan eyes. Ha, the world is indeed full of hypocrisy."
