Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 640: This Request...

“Zabuza-sama.”

After Kanpū left, Haku, who had already gone upstairs, ran down. His eyes are full of excitement, and he looked Zabuza happily, “Zabuza-sama, that person is the same as me, he also has devil power! Why? Is he my relative?”

When he was young, Haku awakened his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, but the villagers told him that it was the power of the devil and then his mother was brutally killed. Although the villagers who wanted to hurt him were frozen to death by Haku’s outburst at the last minute, this incident also left a huge shadow in Haku’s heart.

Especially Ice Release, he is convinced that this is the power of the devil from hell, and he doesn’t even plan to use it again until he meets Zabuza and is told that he needs the power of Ice Release, so Haku then got the identity as the tool that can use Ice Release.

But today, he saw someone with the same devil power besides his mother!

Zabuza looked at the excited Haku coldly, and snorted: “Haku, you have no relatives in this world. You are just my tool, understand?”

“…Yes, I understand.” The light in Haku’s eyes gradually disappeared, and he lowered his head obediently.

“Go to sleep, and you are not allowed to get into contact with this person again!” Zabuza said coldly.

“Yes.” Haku responded with lowered head, then turned around and went upstairs step by step, disappearing to the corner of the stairs.

Zabuza’s cold face disappeared instantly. He pulled out the greatsword behind him fiercely and slammed it on the sofa, making a dull sound.

‘That guy just now definitely did it on purpose!’

‘He must have known that Haku has Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, so he deliberately exposed Ice Release in front of him!’

‘He wants to steal Haku from me!’

Although he only regarded Haku as a tool, a good tool is still important combat power, so how can Zabuza tolerate others stealing Haku?

Recalling the previous scene of being threatened by the bastard, Zabuza thought cruelly: ‘During the assassination five days later, he must pay the price!’

Zabuza started thinking and soon had an idea: ‘I can use his power to kill Yondaime Mizukage, and then leave him dead, letting him bear the responsibility of assassinating Yondaime Mizukage!’

Zabuza’s eyes flickered, and he formed hand seals while slowly letting out cold laughter: Hiding in Mist Technique!

The thick mist diffused with Zabuza as the center, and quickly overflows the living room, spreading in all directions.

The outside of the street was already filled with night mist, and when the dense mist flowed in, it instantly became impossible for people to see anything.

Zabuza took the opportunity to quietly leave his house, planning to find his colleagues to revise the assassination plan.

……

The next day.

Ao, who is entrusted by Mei, rushed to the door of Mizukage Building early and waited silently.

At around eight o’clock, a small figure came from the end of the street, and it was the Yondaime Mizukage.

Ao subconsciously observed Yondaime Mizukage’s behavior, but did not find any trace of him being manipulated by Genjutsu.

‘Do I really need to use Byakugan to check Mizukage-sama?’

Looking at Yondaime Mizukage’s immature and expressionless face, Ao inexplicably feels a sense of pressure.

“What are you doing, Ao?” Yondaime Mizukage walked up to him, looking at him coldly.

“Mizukage-sama, it’s like this…”

Ao casually found a reason to fool Yondaime Mizukage, and waited for him to enter the Mizukage Building. Then, Ao gritted his teeth and the Chakra inside his body suddenly poured into the Byakugan, which was blocked by the eyepatch, and the veins around his right eye socket burst out in an instant, and the pitch-black field of vision suddenly turned gray and white.

Yondaime Mizukage didn’t notice it, and still walked forward.

Ao closed his left eye and used Byakugan to see through Yondaime Mizukage’s body. After looking at it, Ao’s face suddenly changed drastically.

‘This is…’

Through Byakugan’s vision, Ao saw that in the Chakra Pathway System at Yondaime Mizukage’s brain, there is a Chakra circulating continuously!

‘Mei’s intuition is not wrong, Yondaime Mizukage-sama is really caught in someone’s Genjutsu!’

‘And to make a Shinobi at Mizukage-sama level to fall into Genjutsu, the only one who can do it in the entire Shinobi World is probably only Uchiha Shisui!’

At this moment, Yondaime Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura suddenly turned his head.

Ao’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned off Byakugan, and then flickered away without looking back.

Soon, Ao came to Mei’s house.

He felt that it’s too long knock on the door, so Ao jumped in directly from the backyard: “Mei, Mei, Mei…”

Ao shouted while rampaging.

At this moment, Mei was making onigiri in the kitchen, and when she heard Ao’s crazy shouting, she ran out unhappily: “I am here!”

“Mei, it’s not good!”

Ao quickly ran over and said anxiously, “I just checked with Byakugan, and Mizukage-sama really has strange Chakra in his mind. You guessed it right. Mizukage-sama seems to have really caught by Uchiha Shisui’s Genjutsu!!! What should we do, what should we do?!”

“Don’t panic!”

Mei’s eyes widened. Although she had expected it, she is still a little shocked when her guess is confirmed, and she needed time to think about the next move.

‘Capture Uchiha Shisui directly?’

Mei pondered for a while, then shook his head slowly.

‘Kirigakure is too big, it is difficult to find out the Uchiha Shisui hiding here!’

‘Even if we are lucky enough to find him, with Shisui of the Body Flicker’s strength, once a battle breaks out, it is very likely that half of Kirigakure will be affected, which is too much of a price.’

‘And if this happens then, the situation is likely to escalate and spread everywhere. If the matter of Yondaime Mizukage manipulated with Genjutsu leaked out, I’m afraid Kirigakure will become the laughingstock of the entire Shinobi World!’

‘Instead of doing this, it is better to find a way to unlock Genjutsu on Yondaime Mizukage.’

‘Once this Genjutsu breaks, Uchiha Shisui must know that his whereabouts have been leaked. Unless he is sure to fight the entire Kirigakure on his own, he will leave quietly. In this way, the village’s reputation can be preserved without affecting the villagers.

“Ao, can you unlock the Genjutsu on Mizukage-sama?” Mei asked.

Ao showed choked expression, and looked a little hesitant.

Ao used Byakugan’s perspective ability to see the weird Chakra flow in Yondaime Mizukage’s mind. If he used tenketsu as the break point, he may be able to destroy this Chakra flow, but it may also hurt Yondaime Mizukage’s brain.

“Can’t we hand it over to Anbu?” Ao clenched his teeth and asked.

There are professional Shinobi who specialize in cracking Genjutsu among Kirigakure’s Anbu. It is obviously better to leave it to them than leaving it to Ao.

But what didn’t expect was that Mei scolded him immediately: “You idiot! Anbu is a direct unit under Mizukage-sama. If you tell them that Mizukage-sama has fallen into Genjutsu, do you think they will believe you?”

Ao subconsciously shook his head when he heard this.

“And the matter of Mizukage-sama’s Genjutsu can’t be publicized, otherwise, it will cause a huge backlash!” Mei said with a grim face.

In the past few years, under Yondaime Mizukage’s reign, the atmosphere in Kirigakure is very unfriendly and there is a vague sense of splitting. Some Shinobi, who are afraid that the world is not chaotic enough, very much agree with Yondaime Mizukage’s bloody policy, while a considerable part of the Shinobi are against it, resisting overtly and secretly. If these ninjas know the truth about Yondaime Mizukage being controlled, God knows what terrible consequences will it cause.

Under Mei’s reminder, Ao also understood this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: “Mei, you think about the problem much more comprehensively than me.”

“Stop talking nonsense, tell me, can you unlock the Genjutsu on Mizukage-sama?” Mei asked.

“I… can try.”

Ao said, “Using Byakugan’s perspective ability combined with tenketsu, it should be possible to disrupt the Chakra flow in Mizukage-sama’s mind, thereby unlocking the Genjutsu, but doing so may affect Mizukage-sama’s brain.”

Mei was about to say something, but Ao started to speak again: “And there is another premise, that is, Mizukage-sama can’t resist!”

“This request…”

‘Isn’t it too difficult?’

Mei turned silent.
