LRAB Chapter 29 Yagura's Resolve
Chapter 29 Yagura's Resolve
The black market has special methods for transmitting messages.
In less than half a day, all four major ninja villages except Konoha knew about the 500 million bounty on the black market.
These major powers certainly don't lack one million.
They all bought the intelligence to read, wow!
You won't believe it until you look; the amount of information in the intelligence is astonishing.
It seems the Uchiha clan and Konoha are going to have a head-on confrontation.
Moreover, it seems that Konoha pushed the Uchiha too far.
The Uchiha clan is now targeting Konoha with a scorched-earth attitude.
Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure all dispatched their own intelligence teams.
Heading towards Konoha.
The Hidden Mist Village is too far away, and things are quite chaotic there, so the information is a bit delayed.
By the time Mizukage Yagura received the message, it was already the next day.
After he regained consciousness, he issued a policy of closing off the Land of Water, completely sealing off Kirigakure.
First, truthfully tell yourself that you are being controlled by illusion magic.
And, as long as someone can achieve good political results, he will step down and hand over power.
Subsequently, Yagura Karatachi, facing the depleted talent pool of Kirigakure, offered to pardon and recall the Kirigakure rogue ninja who had defected from the village.
However, the environment in Kirigakure was already in a terrible state, and Yagura's reputation had plummeted to its lowest point.
Nobody believed him.
The Hidden Mist also experienced a huge financial deficit.
Yagura Karatachi is under immense mental pressure and is nearing his limit.
At that moment, news arrived from the black market.
Five hundred million!?
Yagura was stunned after hearing Ao's report.
He carefully read through all the information released by Itachi Uchiha.
Yagura realized that the situation in Konoha Village had actually reached this point.
"Lord Mizukage, should we...?"
As a high-ranking member of the Hidden Mist Village, Qing was well aware of the village's financial deficit.
Obito, controlling Yagura Karatachi, wreaked havoc throughout the Land of Water, starting from Kirigakure.
Their finances are currently in the red, and if it weren't for the occasional support from the Daimyo Prefecture, things would be even worse for Kirigakure.
If they could get 500 million, their financial pressure would be greatly relieved.
After all, the Fog Shadows are professionals when it comes to assassinations.
After thinking for a long time, Yagura Karatachi said, "I'll go myself!"
Ao was also stunned: "Lord Mizukage, how can that be!? What if something happens to you!?"
Yagura Karatachi slowly exhaled: "I was controlled before, so I deserved to die."
"I shouldn't have been alive in the first place. If I can make some more contributions to Kirigakure, then I might as well die."
Ao had discovered earlier that after Yagura broke free of control, his immense guilt led to a strong tendency toward self-destruction.
Shuiying had this idea, and Qing had certain expectations.
But he still advised, "Lord Mizukage, you are a Jinchūriki. What if something happens to you..."
Yagura seemed to have known all along that Ao would say that.
He sighed, "We in Wuyin are in dire straits now and have no choice but to take a risky approach."
"I'm not here for this mission; I'm here to attack Konoha."
Qingwei pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Lord Mizukage, do you intend to start a war!?"
The Mizukage responded, "That's right. If Konoha is strong, I'll help the Uchiha. If the Uchiha is strong, I'll help Konoha."
"As long as they start fighting, it will deplete their manpower."
"If the final battle turns into a full-blown conflict, Konoha's strength will suffer a severe blow!"
"At that time, there will be even more people eyeing the Land of Fire."
"We, the Hidden Mist Village, can take this opportunity to recuperate and rebuild our strength."
It must be said that Yagura's move was indeed a risky one, but it really worked.
Once Konoha and the Uchiha clans start fighting, regardless of the outcome...
The strength of Konoha Village would be greatly diminished. The Land of Fire is a piece of fat meat, and no one would not want to take a bite.
Shisui was also caught up in this back then.
The Hidden Mist is isolated overseas, as long as all shipping routes are blocked.
By implementing a policy of isolation, no matter how much fighting occurs outside, it is not easy for them to be affected.
He pointed to his heart: "This time we're prepared. If I'm captured, you can blow me up."
One unique characteristic of the Three-Tails from Kirigakure is that it can revive at a specific location after death.
Even though Rin was stuffed with the Three-Tails before, she was still pierced through the heart by Kakashi's Lightning Blade.
The Three-Tailed Fox was resurrected on the shores of Thousand Island Lake.
Before this, and before that, all three tailed creatures were resurrected at Thousand Island Lake.
The Hidden Mist Village isn't afraid of its Jinchuriki dying; they're only afraid of being captured.
Therefore, a talisman has been placed in the chest of Yagura Karatachi, who was controlled once.
In other words, it is a detonator that can be remotely controlled.
Enough to blast Yagura's heart to smithereens in an instant.
Its functions are simple and straightforward.
However, the simpler the design, the higher the tolerance for error.
If Yagura were to die instantly, the Three-Tails would not fall into the hands of any other ninja village.
"Yu Gao is still in the village. Let Chun Yu teach him properly and don't do his separation research for now."
"Let's talk about it when the technology is more mature in a few years."
"If anything happens to me, Mei Terumi will succeed me as the Fifth Mizukage."
Shuiying wrote his will on the official document in his hand.
He instructed Qing.
Seeing that Shuiying had already arranged everything, Qing couldn't say anything more.
Although his Byakugan is very useful, Ao cannot go with the Mizukage.
There is a huge gap in strength between him and Yagura Karatachi. He has the Byakugan, which is convenient, but in a big battle, he would be the best point of attack.
If Yagura is careful, he should be able to escape without any problems.
Moreover, his eye roll was also used to determine whether Yagura Karatachi was under genjutsu control after his return.
He could no longer leave the village.
"Lord Mizukage, who are you planning to take with you?" Ao asked.
Mizukage slung his weapon over his shoulder and said:
"The people in the village are not suitable to take along, but there's a guy who tried to assassinate me, so I can go and ask him."
……
Rain-Hidden Village.
The current members of the Akatsuki organization are Juzo Biwa, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Pain, Konan, and Kakuzu's cannon fodder teammates.
At this stage, the Akatsuki organization has just taken down Hanzo the Salamander.
They are accumulating money and manpower in preparation for future major events.
However, Obito, who had been sucking blood from Kirigakure, brought some bad news.
Yagura has escaped control.
The Mizukage who had been providing them with large sums of money was gone.
Obito, who called himself Madara Uchiha, also returned empty-handed after his trip to Konoha.
This further fueled Pain and Konan's suspicions about Obito's identity.
They were already waiting for updates on Konoha and the Uchiha clan, so they were paying extra attention to information from that side.
Unexpectedly, Itachi struck first, taking out several ANBU members before defecting.
Although Itachi betrayed the village, he probably didn't betray his clan.
Because when Itachi left the village, he wasn't alone; he was accompanied by other members of his clan.
After Itachi Uchiha issued the mission.
The Akatsuki organization was also in an uproar.
