Chapter 440 Old Fox!
On a coast of the Water Country!

A small boat slowly stopped.

This place is only a few hundred kilometers away from the Hidden Mist Village. For a senior ninja, if you don't take into account the consumption of chakra, you can get there within two hours.

tread!
Dou Ping, wearing a cloak, jumped off the boat with Hinata Sogetsu.

Although you can get here by treading water, that would be a bit too tiring, so if there is a choice, you would naturally take a boat.

And the ship was also arranged by the other party, probably to prevent Tang Ping from doing anything.

After all, this meeting must not be known to anyone.

Because, the two parties that met were actually the castle tower and the high-ranking officials of the Hidden Mist Village who were fighting hard.

As soon as he got ashore, Tang Ping saw a bald old man standing on a rock, holding a snake staff and wearing loose long clothes.

Yuan Master!

He is also the real 'evergreen tree' and boss of the Hidden Mist Village.

To put it bluntly, the other party's power is not much weaker than that of the Mizukage, and he also holds a lofty status.

It is equivalent to a strengthened version of Chiyo from the Sand Village.

And behind the other party stood four figures.

Among them were two 'acquaintances'.

One of them is Mei Terumi, who has a charming and alluring temperament at a young age, the other is Ao who is wearing an eye mask, and judging from the aura of the remaining two, they should be elite jonin.

And Dohei's gaze was directed at Mei Terumi.

Quasi-shadow?

The opponent's strength gave him a faint sense of threat, so he must have crossed that boundary line.

Although he knew that the other party was talented, Tang Ping never expected him to be so powerful.

Is it so great to have two kinds of bloodline limits?

Sorry, that's really amazing.

Because Mei Terumi is not only talented, but also because she has witnessed the talent and strength of Dohei and others, her level of effort and mentality are different from the original plot.

The key is the transaction with the castle tower, which allowed it to obtain a large amount of resources, so it was able to enter the quasi-shadow level ahead of time.

Hinata Cangyue passed some information to Dou Ping.

There are still people hiding around!

Of course, not to ambush them, but to protect themselves.

It’s because Dohei’s record is so exaggerated that even the Third Mizukage died in his hands.

Meeting him without proper preparation would be simply courting death.

These people in ambush can also be regarded as a warning to Tang Ping not to act recklessly.

It is for these reasons that Tang Ping leaves the meeting place to the other party to choose and arrange, adhering to the principle of "sincerity is the best killer move".

If he hadn't arranged it this way, would you really think that Master Yuan would risk meeting the leader of a hostile force?

"Master Yuan really thinks highly of me and has prepared such a big 'show'!"

Tang Ping walked over and sneered.

At the same time, it also means that I know your arrangements, but I still stay, which fully demonstrates my sincerity.

"Faced with the famous Purifying Flame, how could I not be more prepared?"

Although Master Yuan is quite old, he is completely shameless. He tries to defuse his ambush by flattering Tang Ping.

Old fox!
Tang Ping cursed in his heart.

When she was a few meters away from the other person, Mei Terumi intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of Dohei.

With her current strength, combined with two bloodline limits, she is indeed capable of stopping him for a while.

So Tang Ping stopped, he knew that the other party would not let him get any closer, so he spoke directly.

"What I'm about to say is related to the life and death of the Hidden Mist Village. Are you sure you want to let them know?"

He glanced around as he spoke.

After hearing this, Master Yuan thought for a moment and waved his hand around.

After receiving the order, the ninjas hiding in the dark retreated a distance.

Even including the four people around him.

However, Master Yuan called out to Mei Terumi.

"Ming, you stay!"

The other party is the next Mizukage he favors, and he is also a junior he has personally trained. Naturally, he has to stay at this time.

After Tang Ping and the others left, he continued:
"I wonder if Elder Yuanshi feels that there have been huge changes since the Fourth Mizukage took office, and the Hidden Mist Village is constantly heading towards destruction in his hands?" He was not talking nonsense.

The bloody mist!
Just by listening to it, you can tell what the current state of the Hidden Mist Village is in.

One by one, the bloodline limit families were wiped out by the Mizukage's butcher knife.

Although this can solve the long-standing problems of the Hidden Mist Village, namely internal power struggles and resource monopoly.

But Mizukage acted too quickly and too decisively!
This directly caused fear and dissatisfaction among the major bloodline limit families.

If the castle tower had not been attacked suddenly, an internal fight might have already broken out.

"Everything that Mizukage-sama did was for the village. How dare you slander him? Aren't you afraid that I will prevent you from returning?"

The Master spoke with a grim expression, as if he was loyal to the Mizukage.

However, no one present made any movement, and they were not nervous about his "falling out".

Because it is obvious at first glance that this is just bluffing and there is no anger at all.

Zero points!

Tang Ping watched the other party's performance and gave a score directly.

The opponent might be old, and coupled with not being a ninja for many years, his acting skills have deteriorated greatly. Not to mention them, even a random person could see the flaws.

That's why Mei Terumi did not make any move, otherwise she would have definitely taken action immediately.

"Okay, I don't believe you haven't doubted it before. Now I can tell you for sure that your guess is right. There is indeed something wrong with the Fourth Mizukage!"

Tang Ping was too lazy to compete with the other party in acting and pointed out the point directly.

The other party will definitely suspect the Fourth Mizukage. After all, the changes between before and after he took the position are indeed too big. In the ninja world, various means emerge in an endless stream, and suspicion is the normal operation of a ninja.

"…What evidence do you have?"

After a moment of silence, Master Yuan asked.

The fact that he asked this proved that he indeed doubted the Fourth Mizukage.

However, this surprised Mei Terumi who was standing by.

Because she had never imagined that the elder Yuanshi, who was the pillar of the village, would actually doubt the Mizukage.

In other words, Dou Ping can't read minds.

Otherwise, she would tell Mei Terumi that if she didn't exist, you would also doubt the Mizukage, and kick him out and take the position of Mizukage.

It's just that due to the influence of Dohei and the castle tower, Mei Terumi changed her original route, so she didn't doubt the Mizukage at all. At most, she felt that the other party's methods were a little too cruel.

"Of course I have evidence, but Master Yuanshi, don't you think that I should show some sincerity first?"

Tang Ping did not respond directly, but said that he would get the benefits first.

To be honest, the biggest benefit would be civil unrest in the Hidden Mist Village, which is his goal.

As for the other stuff? .

After conquering the Hidden Mist Village, the entire village will belong to us, and there will be nothing we cannot take.

However, if he didn't show some greed, the old fox Yuanshi would definitely suspect that he had other goals.

"Sincerity...what do you want?"

Master Yuan thought about it and felt that it was appropriate to pay some price to get the evidence, even if it meant forcing the front-line troops to retreat.

Anyway, he didn't think that the Mist Ninja could really break through Konoha, so it would be a good idea to use the withdrawal as a bargaining chip.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Tang Ping's appetite far exceeded his imagination.

Kirigakure Village!
Even the entire Water Kingdom is what Dou Ping really wants.

Once this isolated overseas territory was taken, Tangping would have a super large rear base.

In particular, the "Blood Mist Village" strategy of the Hidden Mist Village was more to his liking.

Because of this, the other major ninja villages knew almost nothing about the Hidden Mist Village, which naturally facilitated his actions.

By then, no matter what he does in the Hidden Mist Village, the other major ninja villages may not know about it.

"I want to know which other forces are involved in this Mist Ninja attack!"

Tang Ping said what he wanted.

Although this is just a shield, it is indeed what he wants.

"can!"

Master Yuan nodded without any hesitation.

He had no burden at all in betraying these guys, and he even looked forward to it.
