Chapter 124 Photos

"That photo... did Master Yuan ask you to send it?"

The pufferfish ghost instinctively felt that something was wrong. Why did he ask that? Is there something else hidden in the photo?

He saw that the servant did not have the photo in his hand. He looked through the door into the house and could vaguely see the vague figure of the head of the Ghost Lantern Clan. His expression changed. While speaking, he pushed the servant who was holding the door open and walked into the house: "Yes, Master Yuan also asked me to point out the story in the photo to Mr. Long Yan."

Long Yan is Ghost Lantern Long Yan, the current head of the Ghost Lantern Clan in the Hidden Mist Village.

The puffer ghost was not slow, but the attendant was even faster. He stretched out his legs and blocked the puffer ghost's strong steps. The two looked at each other. Even though he was covered by the shadow cast by the puffer ghost's huge body, the smile on his face was still kind and polite. He said with a smile: "No need to bother sir. The master of the family has found the 'story' in the photo. Please go back." The puffer ghost had a blank expression on his face, but he was sure that there was indeed a problem with the photo. He didn't know why the ninja in the laboratory failed to find the 'story' in the photo. What did the test reveal? But he didn't intend to admit defeat just like that:

"I haven't seen Lord Long Yan for a long time. He has been staying at home recently and not attending the meeting chaired by Lord Yuanshi. Lord Yuanshi asked me to stop by to see his condition. I wonder how his injuries are recovering?"

"Thanks to Mr. Tsao, the master of the family is doing well now. His previous injuries are almost healed. The doctor said that as long as he doesn't go to crowded places or pays attention to preventing foreign viruses from spreading, the master's illness will recover faster."

A flash of anger flashed across the face of the pufferfish ghost.

He stared at the servant, looking at his innocent and somewhat fake expression on his face, but he couldn't let his anger flare up. Gui Deng Long Yan was in the yard behind the door. This lowly slave dared to sneer at him like this, obviously with the tacit consent of Gui Deng Long Yan.

Although Tatsuhiko Kizuki is a sickly person, he is arrogant and annoying. Since the incident of Kisame's defection, Samehada was taken away, and the reputation of the pufferfish ghost in the Hidden Mist Village has plummeted. No matter where he goes, he will be looked down upon. The pufferfish ghost knows this very well. Although he is a little angry, this is the territory of the Kizuki clan after all, and the pufferfish ghost dare not make trouble here anyway. "In this case, I won't bother you." He knew that the matter was not possible. Although there was a high possibility that there was some kind of trick in the photo, from getting the photo to handing it to Tatsuhiko Kizuki, from the first person who took the photo from Mei Terumi to the current top leader of the Hidden Mist Village, Yuanshi, and then to Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, all the people who had handled the photo failed to see the hidden meaning in the photo. I am afraid that they have become pawns for Mei Terumi to send some kind of signal. Things are irreversible, and if they continue to struggle, they will only be humiliated by being stepped on. The puffer ghost clenched his fists, glanced at the wall of the mansion of the Hozuki clan, and retracted his outstretched foot while warning meaningfully: "The Hidden Mist Village has not been peaceful recently. There are many little ghosts and traitors who are waiting for an opportunity to destroy the stability and overall situation of the Hidden Mist Village. You, the Hozuki clan, should be careful not to be used as a gun by others..."

Although there are many rebels in the Hidden Mist Village at present, these large and small ninja clans are basically stable, which is also the main reason why Yuanshi has been able to stabilize the situation since the disappearance of Kuji Yagura.

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Puffer Ghost. The Hozuki clan will make a decision that is in line with the interests of the Hozuki clan," the attendant said lightly, "As for the words 'be careful of being used as a gun by others', I have learned from you. Mr. Puffer Ghost, you are indeed qualified to say this to us."

The puffer ghost's face sank. If there is indeed a problem with the photo, then he is very likely to be used as a gun by others.

Only with experience can you educate others.

He left with a gloomy face.

The servant who had made him very angry watched him walk away from the door until five minutes later, when he could no longer see the figure of the puffer ghost, he returned to the mansion of the Ghost Light Clan.

"Master." He said respectfully to a man in white who was feeding rice to fish by the pond.

"Have you asked?"

"I have asked, and judging from the expression of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, this photo was indeed handed over by the Yuanshi. The original intention of the Yuanshi should be to give us a warning through this photo - he, like all the people who have handled this photo, did not see the words on the photo." The servant said softly.

"This group of people is really powerful... It seems that there is no hope for the Hidden Mist Village..." Long Yan murmured.

He looked at the photo in his hand, which was still the picture of their fourth generation Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, being imprisoned. However, as the attendant said, in the center of the picture, there was a line of small words that could be clearly seen with the naked eye:

"The trend of change is irresistible. Those who are stubborn must either die or surrender."

"We will overturn all the old order and lead the people of this land to a new life."

"We are not going to rebuild a new Mist Village."

"We are going to rebuild a new Water Kingdom."

"This is a blessing, but also a fate."

"May the tree of peace thrive on this land, and may the sun's light dispel all the clouds in the world."

At the end, there are two words that seem like the author's comments:

Yangon.

Yangon?

Is this the name of this mysterious organization?

Tatsuhiko Hozuki didn't know. He was just shocked by the means and purpose of this organization to the point of almost trembling!

Obviously, the master, the puffer ghost, and even the entire Kirigakure's laboratory department failed to notice this line of highly inflammatory and foreshadowing text, otherwise it would not have returned to Tatsuhiko, who was already very dissatisfied with Kirigakure and even the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

The master hoped that the crazy means of the organization behind Mei Terumi could arouse Tatsuhiko's sympathy for Mizukage Yagura Karatachi. After all, Yagura Karatachi also came from a big family in Kirigakure. Although the two sides could not be said to be harmonious, the rabbit died and the dog was cooked. Since Mei Terumi decided to implement reforms in Kirigakure for Hashirama Senju, then from the Karatachi clan to the Hozuki clan, they were probably the targets of her "reform".

——If there was no small line of words, Tatsuhiko Hozuki would indeed be dissatisfied with Mei and Hashirama Senju's affair to harm Yagura.

But since there was this small line of words, Tatsuhiko Hozuki's attitude was completely different.

Mei Terumi.

She is not here to replace Yagura Karatachi and change the dynasty.

She is here to change the face of the entire Water Kingdom.

In this situation, in this pattern, the so-called personal honor and disgrace of Yagura Karatachi and his slight face as the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village are no longer important.

"What should we do?" the attendant beside him asked softly.

Just as the servants in the Hyuga clan's mansion are all members of the Hyuga branch family, although the Kido clan does not have the system of the main family and the branch family, their "servants" are also from the Kido clan and are truly their own people who are bound by the interests and blood of the Kido clan.

"Wait, watch." Long Yan whispered these two words.

This is exactly what these paragraphs of text on the photo mean.

It does not need Kido Long Yan to lead his tribe to rebel against the Hidden Mist Village and do something internal and external. It only needs Kido Long Yan to watch carefully and not be the "stubborn person" who is looking for death.

After the summary, there are these two words.

Wait.

Wait for Mei Terumi and the Yangon Organization behind her to make a move.

See.

See how Mei Terumi and the Yangon Organization behind her make a move.

The train that started up with a bang doesn't care whether the ants running over it on the track have self-esteem.

Whether you agree or not, they will run over them as usual.

Such a text full of ultimatum nature was delivered to his hands in such a playful form, and it was impossible for Ryuuji to not feel the horror contained in the text.

Although the Ryuuji clan has never had the idea of ​​​​rebellion, if the general trend really tilts downward, he will only choose to lead his own clan to follow the trend.

This text is obviously a warning and prophecy before the general trend is overwhelmed.

"But how are they going to do it?" Ryuuji had previously guessed that it might be Hashirama Senju who took away Yagura Karatachi and suppressed the entire ninja village again with unparalleled strength, but now after seeing such a revealing text, he felt that the possibility was not great.

After all, violence cannot bring about long-term submission. The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village may not be able to defeat Hashirama Senju, but strength has never been a necessary condition for ruling. After losing their homes, they will definitely use their advantage of being familiar with the terrain to cause countless troubles to Hashirama Senju, the former ninja god, in the future.

Since this Yangon organization has decided to subvert all the old order, it will naturally not use such rough means to accomplish this. Since external forces will bring resistance, according to Long Yan, the failure of the Hidden Mist Village is likely to start from within.

Only internal failure can crush the resistance spirit of the Hidden Mist Village into pieces, and it can't even stick together.

"Since it's not us ninjas, then who will be the breakthrough point?" Long Yan thought quietly for a moment. Soon after, the attendant reported that it was the Anbu sent by the Yuanshi who handed over an invitation, hoping that he could attend the inauguration ceremony of the fifth generation Mizukage, Yugao, the day after tomorrow.

Long Yan wanted to reject the invitation like he had done countless times before, but he suddenly stopped talking and scattered all the rice in his palm into the pond.

He murmured in a low voice:

"Breakthrough..."

The fish in the pond did not know the change of their owner. They just instinctively chased the rice and kept blowing bubbles.

...

The bubbles broke on the water surface.

The sun penetrated the shade of the trees.

The waves flickered.

The fifth generation Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, who was about to become the second youngest Mizukage in the history of the Hidden Mist Village after Yagura Kujitachi, the Six-tailed Jinchuriki, Yugao, was sitting in the shade of the trees by the lake, blowing bubbles quietly.

Several members of the Hidden Mist Village Anbu appointed by the elder Yuanshi of the Hidden Mist Village were guarding in the shadows not far away, quietly alert to the surrounding movements.

Just as Long Yan felt that Yugao, who was about to be promoted to the fifth generation Mizukage, might become a breakthrough for "subversive factions" such as Terumi Mei, Yuanshi also took precautions early. Of course, facing an opponent of the level of Senju Hashirama, such defensive power is no different from a basic piece of paper.

But if Senju Hashirama can really be forced to suppress others with force, then the so-called "innovation" of him and Terumi Mei is just a joke and not worth worrying about.

After all, the entire ninja world has always been that violence is suppressed by more violence, and the strong is exploited by more powerful forces. This is the background and unspoken rules of this world.

If the so-called innovation of Senju Hashirama is just to stop violence with violence and suppress exploitation with exploitation, it is just a meaningless class cycle. What is "new" about it?

How many people are willing to follow?

After seeing the reform of the Land of Waves, the master basically concluded that the so-called reform that Hashirama Senju was about to carry out in the Hidden Mist Village could not be so direct, but necessary defensive measures were still to be taken.

There were footsteps that crushed the leaves on the ground, and the surrounding Hidden Mist Anbu immediately became alert, but when they found the face of the person who came, they quickly relaxed.

The person who came was none other than Yu Gao's closest person in the entire Hidden Mist Village, his mentor, the Hidden Mist Village Jonin - Haruyu.

"Master." Yu Gao stood up immediately.

Haruyu pushed his glasses, smiled and nodded to several Hidden Mist Anbu, and then looked at Yu Gao, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Haruyu patted his shoulder, then sat down beside him and asked with a smile.

"No... I'm just a little confused," Yugao didn't hesitate to explain his feelings to Harusame, "I originally thought that I was just pretending to be a Mizukage, so I didn't take it too seriously... However, the closer the time is, the more panicked I feel..."

"Teacher... Mizukage is a position that so many people dream of, but I can't even subdue the tailed beast in my body. I'm so far behind Lord Yagura. Can I really take on the responsibility of Mizukage?"

"Can I really bear the responsibility of Mizukage?"

Harusame was stunned, glanced at the Kirigakure Anbu who were listening attentively, until their conversation would be reported to the master by this group of people, and then said solemnly: "Don't belittle yourself, Yugao!"

"The Kirigakure Village is now in a critical moment. Since the master has chosen you, it means that he trusts your ability and believes that you can do as well as the previous Mizukage!"

"The only thing you need to do now is to adjust your mentality as soon as possible and strive to become a perfect Jinchūriki in the next year, so that you can be justified!"

This is not quite like Harusame's usual speaking style, but Yugao is still very moved.

Master Yuanshi believes that he can be a good Mizukage.

Teacher Chunyu believes that he can conquer the tailed beast.

Although both of them have heavy expectations, this is a recognition of him, and he doesn't want to disappoint anyone.

Yu Gao showed a gentle smile on his face: "Thank you, teacher."

"After all, I am your teacher, I won't hurt you," Chunyu smiled slightly, stood up, and said casually, "Come on, I recently improved an experiment that can help you avoid being disturbed by the tailed beast in your body when you sleep. Do you want to try it?"

Yu Gao smiled lightly: "Of course!"
