"Ah...if the previous Mizukage hadn't died too early, I wouldn't be taking the seat of the third Mizukage now, right?"
Whispering to himself, Shuang Yue clasped his hands and just stared at the night sky quietly. In his eyes, there was a bit of hatred in the nostalgia, a bit of hatred in the admiration, and a bit of confusion in the pride.
All kinds of emotions are entangled in Shuangyue, making his current expression so complicated that it is difficult to describe.
It is impossible to remember exactly when the grudge between the two began, and the various conflicts that the two sides experienced during this period are also countless. However, after successfully ascending to the Mizukage, Shuangyue knew that he had won.
After taking the position, although she wanted to kill him desperately, Shuangyue also knew:
Relying on the reputation that the other party has accumulated while competing with him for so many years, if he really insists on killing him, or even just sends some fatal missions to the other party, then many ninjas in Kirigakure Village will undoubtedly fight against him.
He, the water shadow, is eccentric.
The family ninjas are okay, but the important thing is...the base of civilian ninjas has become increasingly large in recent years.
He is a shadow, so he must consider the stability of the village, and he must admit defeat decisively without any intention of rebellion, so...
He tried his best to suppress him. He prevented him from going to the front line, prevented him from communicating with the geniuses in the village, and prevented him from continuing to contact his old subordinates. He simply used him as a jinchuriki and a strategic weapon of the village.
However, this only function of the body was decisively abandoned by Shuangetsu after the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki gradually took shape.
Even in this battle to destroy the country, he will place it in the rear area of the country of Waves to prevent the other party from entering the battlefield, thereby preventing the other party from gaining the huge reputation that is likely to arise.
Not being allowed to go on the battlefield may be a good thing for ordinary ninjas, or even ordinary jinchūriki, but for such a veteran Kage-level ninja who has experienced many battles, this is tantamount to a kind of torture.
But after all, Shuoyue had been a Mizukage for so long, and knew that she couldn't resist, so she resigned herself to fate and quietly lived as a salted fish in the Land of Waves.
But this time, the situation has changed a little.
Lei Luo, the absolute shadow of Konoha, suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of Whirlpool and killed the Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki in an extremely strange way. Although Shigetsuki's head hurt from the anger, he had no way to do anything about it.
Next, no matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to go to the Country of Waves in person and call his old rival over to help in the battle.
After all, compared to the "resurgence" that may happen to him, the task of destroying the Kingdom of Whirlpool is obviously more important.
Yes, it's a mission.
A commission originated from a transaction between him and a certain existence, and a task that must be completed.
Shuangyue has been planning this task for too long, so he has no intention of giving up.
'Do you want to contact Zetsu?'
Shuangyue's eyes flickered, and her expression was somewhat uncertain.
Although he is extremely reluctant to deal with those weird things and things that are not very smart, but now... the situation seems to be a little beyond his control.
Lei Luo's sudden appearance outside the Uzumaki Village, and the extremely strange death of the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki, gave Shigetsuki a hint of conspiracy, and also gave him a premonition of danger.
Intelligence, he wants to get more information!
…
In Uzushio Village, central area.
It was late at night and everything was silent except for the faint chirping of cicadas.
In a Japanese garden that has not been affected by the war, in the middle of the courtyard, Lei Luo and Uzumaki Makoto were sitting opposite each other.
The cool breeze blows by at night, giving people a sense of comfort, as if no matter how fierce the war outside is, it cannot disturb the tranquility here.
A round stone table stood between the two of them. On the table were placed several dishes, a teapot, several teacups, and a burning candlestick.
Lei Luo sat on a stone bench next to him. He lowered his head slightly and carefully read the note he had just received by the candlelight on the table.
A piece of paper was originally swallowed by several insects, but was spat out in front of him. When finally put together, it could form a complete piece of information.
But after reading for a while, when he understood the content of the information, Lei Luo suddenly smiled, and then he laughed involuntarily.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing Lei Luo laughing non-stop, Uzumaki Cheng looked at the other person calmly, then a smile appeared on his face, and he asked softly:
"Sir Lei Luo, why are you laughing?"
"Look at this." Passing the note over smoothly, Lei Luo reluctantly stopped his smile, and while waiting for Uzumaki Cheng to read the contents of the note, he said with a bit of laughter:
"I really didn't expect that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki would be directly blown to death. A perfect Jinchuriki would be blown to death by his own Tailed Beast... Don't you think this is interesting?"
"This..." Uzumaki Cheng was also unable to maintain the calm expression on his face at this time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It is indeed very interesting."
The two laughed for a while, and finally calmed down after a few minutes.
According to Lei Luo's wishes, he threw the note in his hand into the candlelight. After it slowly turned into ashes, Uzumaki Cheng retracted his sight and said to Lei Luo with a somewhat flattering expression:
"Sir Lei Luo, I have to say that your teammate is really awesome."
Hearing this, Lei Luo glanced at Uzumaki Cheng. He was not in a hurry to respond. Instead, he took a sip from the tea cup in his hand and used the sobering tea in it to refresh his somewhat groggy brain.
After a few seconds, he slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table and said calmly to Uzumaki: "Oh? Why do you say that?"
Seeing Lei Luo's calm expression, Uzumaki Cheng thought for a while, and after carefully considering his words, he slowly explained:
"First, we accurately searched for the location of the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki, and completed the locking work that cannot be completed by the thousands of members of our Uzumaki clan, including the powerful Kagura Heart Eye of the clan leader."
"Then, under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes in Kirigakure Village, you can forcefully rush to the vicinity of the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki."
"Finally, find the correct angle and throw the coordinate kunai with great precision. While achieving perfect coordination with your side, the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki will be unable to hide and avoid, without even a chance to react.
.”
"The things contained here..." After a pause, seeing Lei Luo listening intently to his speech, Uzumaki Cheng said sincerely:
