Chapter 441 Forced into the palace!
"The Daimyo of the Land of Water, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire..."
Tang Ping didn't feel too surprised when he heard the names spoken by Master Yuan.
Well, it is impossible for the other party to deceive him with false information, because there are many ways to verify.
No wonder the Mist Ninja Army is not afraid of attrition and directly fights with them in a consumption battle.
It’s all because ‘other people’s children keep dying’!
noble!
It seems that although Dou Ping defeated the daimyo coalition last time and reached a secret ceasefire afterwards, the other side did not do anything on the surface, but took action in secret.
When they discovered that the Mist Ninja army was attacking the castle tower, they immediately took action in terms of supplies and manpower.
No wonder the Mist Ninja Army, which has always been short of supplies, was completely unhurried this time and just spent time fighting with the castle tower.
good news!
This is good news for Tang Ping.
Because if the Mist Ninja Army did not continue to attack, how could he attack the Hidden Mist Village without being alerted?
It is better to cause greater destruction so that the counterattack will be more logical.
"Now that you know the name, do you have the evidence?"
After the Master said the names of the forces involved in the Mist Ninja attack, he directly asked for evidence.
"Let Qing use that Byakugan to observe the Mizukage, then he'll know everything, right?"
Tang Ping gave a solution.
Just if he produced the "evidence", no matter what it was, the other party would be suspicious.
But if the evidence is found by the other party himself, it is irrefutable evidence.
"what!"
Mei Terumi had never expected that the verification method would be so simple.
However, no matter how simple it is, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to use the Byakugan to observe their own Mizukage. That would be a huge offense.
If Dohei suggested something like capturing the Mizukage, there was no way the Master would agree.
But if we just use the stolen Hyuga family's Byakugan to investigate, then it won't be a problem.
"Until we get the result, you must stay in the Hidden Mist Village!"
The master decisively gave restrictions.
The transaction between the two parties is not over yet and it must be verified before it is considered completed.
Even though Master Yuan knew that the other party took such a big risk to come to the Water Kingdom and it was impossible that he was trying to play a trick on him, he would not jump to conclusions easily.
Because this matter is so important, even if it is just to keep it secret, he must first restrain Tang Ping. In this way, no matter what plan he has, he can deal with it calmly.
Tang Ping had naturally anticipated this, so he nodded slightly to indicate that he agreed to the condition.
So, they all quickly headed towards the Hidden Mist Village.
Of course, the person responsible for guarding Dohei and Hinata Sogetsu was naturally replaced by Terumi Mei.
The relationship between the two sides is extremely complicated.
In the past, Dohei had captured a team from the other side, and later they traded together. At the same time, the other side would occasionally go to the castle tower to seek trouble.
It was also because of Mei Terumi's matchmaking that the remaining members of the Kizuna clan were able to move to the castle tower.
If it weren't for her, there might only be a few big and small cats left in the Kizuna clan in the future. It would be impossible for there to be thousands of people alive like now.
"Why did you come this time?"
While on the way, Mei Terumi turned her head and asked Dohei beside her.
"I said I was here to watch a show, do you believe me?"
It is naturally impossible for Tang Ping to tell the truth.
If he dared to tell the truth, the other party would immediately use the dissolution technique to dissolve him.
Because he came to instigate internal strife in the Mist Shadow so that the castle tower could take the opportunity to counterattack, directly enter the Mist Shadow Village, occupy the entire village, and then swallow up the Water Kingdom.
The plan is enormous.
But if successful, the power under Tang Ping will increase significantly.
Mei Terumi was very smart and naturally understood that Dou Ping must have other goals, so she snorted disdainfully:
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
The other party must want to take advantage of the opportunity to distract the Mist Ninjas from their own affairs, thus forcing the Mist Ninja army to retreat.
Both Master Yuan and she thought it would be better to retreat.
Because the effort is not proportional to the reward.
Even if they really captured the castle tower, they would not be able to gain a foothold once Konoha took action. It would be better for them to retreat directly and let those forces take the lead and act as a shield for the Hidden Mist Village.
This is also the reason why Yuanshi and she, although they saw Tang Ping's "goal", did not care too much.
In fact, how could anyone have thought that Tang Ping's appetite would be so big? The distance of several hundred kilometers, under the urging of the Yuanshi who was in a hurry to return to the village, took less than half a day.
Moreover, halfway through the journey, the Master had already sent messages to all the major ninja clans and village leaders, fully demonstrating his own connections and influence.
Uncrowned king!
It's about this level.
So, when they arrived at the Hidden Mist Village, undercurrents were already surging.
This is also Master Yuan taking a gamble with his own prestige.
Even if there had not been this deal with Dohei, he, who had long suspected the Fourth Mizukage, would have taken this gamble sooner or later.
After all, the village is the Yuanshi’s bottom line.
If it was for the good of the village, even if it meant slaughtering all the major ninja clans, he could just pretend he didn't see it.
But if he wants to destroy the village, then he will drag the other party into hell even if it costs him everything.
Wow!
There was a drizzle in the gloomy sky.
In the Water Kingdom, this kind of weather is the norm. Sunny weather is extremely rare in the Water Kingdom, and it is considered good if there are only a few days in a year.
It is precisely this harsh environment that has caused the Water Kingdom to have an astonishing food shortage.
Anyway, the number of deaths in the Water Kingdom has decreased in recent years, and everyone should kowtow to the castle tower. It is their large amount of food imports that has greatly reduced the number of people who starved to death.
Of course, the castle tower also gained huge profits from trade, otherwise its development speed would not be so exaggerated.
There is a huge difference between the castle tower and other major ninja villages.
Positioning and identity!
The Ninja Village positions itself as a 'thug', and everything is done to serve this purpose, and it never even goes beyond that.
But the castle tower is positioned as a "ruling force".
They not only take on ordinary ninja work, but also various missions.
At the same time, policies will be formulated, businesses will be developed, etc.
Strictly speaking, it is equivalent to a combination of the ninja village and the country.
It’s just that due to its small size, other forces have not noticed the difference.
Institutionally, this combined economic and military force is indeed much more advanced than the "one country, one village" system of the ninja world, which is also the reason for its exaggerated development speed.
The streets were now empty.
The villagers of the Ninja Village may not have much strength, but they are extremely sensitive to danger, and now they all hide in a safe place.
Although most of the Mist Ninjas are on the front line, there are still many ninjas in the village, so you can see ninjas everywhere.
However, these people are roughly divided into two opposing sides.
One side is loyal to the Mizukage, the other side is loyal to the Master and the major ninja clans.
The total number is about two thousand.
It’s not that there are only this number of ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, but because most of them are scattered outside and there is no way they can get back in just half a day.
Especially the large army on the front line, which can be regarded as the direct descendants of the Mizukage.
That's why Master Yuan had to seize the opportunity to launch the attack.
Once the news leaks out and the Mizukage calls back the troops on the front line, a civil war might break out in the Hidden Mist Village.
Now, with his prestige and power, he can still suppress the Mizukage and achieve his goal easily.
Dohei and Hinata Sogetsu, under the 'protection' of Terumi Mei and a group of Kirigakure ANBU, stood not far from the pen holder-shaped Mizukage Building and observed the situation.
The air was as still as ice, with only the sound of the drizzle echoing.
Da da!
Master Yuan stood out from the crowd protected by a group of ninjas.
"I am the Yuanshi, the elder of Kirigakure Village. I have something to ask of you, Mizukage-sama. Please come out and see me!"
He got straight to the point.
With his status as an elder, he is naturally qualified to meet the Mizukage, and it is impossible for the other party not to meet him.
But considering the current situation, the situation becomes very interesting.
However, Master Yuanshi's meaning was very clear, which was to let the Mizukage come out to see him.
If anything really happened in the Mizukage Building and no one knew about it, it would be better to explain the matter face to face under the watchful eyes of everyone.
If he had wronged the Mizukage, he could give him an "explanation" and would not let the matter get out of control.
All I can say is that Master Yuan has considered everything.
And Dohei received an affirmative look from Hinata Sogetsu.
There's something good to watch!
If the ungrateful person was there too, the scene that would happen next would be so beautiful that he wouldn't dare to watch it... No wonder.
