Chapter 145 Death of Mizukage
Mist Village, Mizukage's office.

The Third Mizukage was a ninja who looked quite young, with long black hair with a few tiny ice crystals and soft facial lines. It was impossible to imagine that this ninja was the one who proposed the blood mist policy.

Even if the blood mist policy was caused by Uchiha Madara's mental suggestion, Uchiha Madara's mental suggestion was very clever, and its essence was to magnify people's own thoughts. In other words, this Mizukage himself had such cruel ideas, but was just used by Uchiha Madara.

"Lord Mizukage, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have all returned and have just entered the Ninja Village!"

The ANBU who suddenly appeared half-knelt in front of the Third Mizukage and reported the situation, causing the Third Mizukage to frown:
"All the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are back? That's beyond my expectation... I thought only half of them would come back!"

The undisguised tone of disgust made the Anbu, who was half-kneeling in front of the Third Mizukage, lower his head even more and pretend that he heard nothing.

"Okay, let's call in those problematic ninjas! I don't know how they performed their tasks..."

"Yes, understand!"

The ANBU ninja responded and disappeared into the Mizukage's office.

The mission to assassinate the Hokage was assigned by the Third Mizukage himself, but it was obvious that the Third Mizukage had no confidence in this mission. Just like the Iwagakure, this mission was just to test the strength of the current Fifth Hokage.

Of course, if he could kill a few disobedient members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it might be a better result for the Third Mizukage.

The elite jonin of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are different from ordinary elite jonin. They can only be truly called elite jonin when they are one with their swords. Without their swords, many members of the Seven can only be called ordinary jonin.

Therefore, the Third Mizukage did not feel bad about the loss. After all, as long as the ninja sword was still there, it would be much easier to train this kind of pseudo elite jonin than to train a real elite jonin!

Only Xiguashan Puffer Demon and Biwa Juuzou can be regarded as elite jonin even without their ninja swords. However, these two have always been very smart, and the Third Mizukage does not think that they will sacrifice themselves.

Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of all generations, the strongest are generally the large sword Samehada and the Broken Sword. These two are the strongest and weakest swords among the seven swords respectively, but the sword masters have always been very powerful.

The reason for this is that the large sword Samehada is incredibly effective and is extremely picky about chakra. Ninjas with slightly weaker chakra simply cannot gain recognition from this sword.

As for the Broken Sword, which is a beheading sword, to put it bluntly, the blood-sucking and reviving effect of this sword has no practical significance at all. The sword masters of all generations have relied on their own strength to stand among the Seven, and naturally they are stronger than those ninjas who rely on swords.

The door of the Mizukage's office opened, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen walked in one by one. The Third Mizukage glanced at the seven people casually, and suddenly his face became serious:
"Who are you? What a great illusion. Are you the Uchiha who controlled me back then?"

"Tsk, do you really need to be so careful? You've set up so many perception barriers in the entire Mizukage's office. You've even set up a sealing spell on the chair under your butt, which is constantly disrupting the chakra in your body - aren't you afraid that the chaotic chakra will go out of control and kill you!"

The person who spoke was naturally Uchiha Feiyu. To be honest, he had already guessed that the Third Mizukage had been traumatized by illusions and would definitely have made some arrangements, but it was still eye-opening for him to see them be so cautious.

Sitting on his chair, he arranged the sealing technique and constantly disrupted the chakra in his body. This practice was comparable to the ancient scholars' practice of hanging their heads on the beam and piercing their legs with awls. It was definitely very painful, but the effect was also amazing.

Even Uchiha Feiyu's illusion of manipulating the five senses is ultimately a manipulation of the five senses, making it impossible for people to actually sense the chakra in the body, so it cannot be broken. But now the chakra in the body of the Third Mizukage is already in chaos, and even Uchiha Feiyu can't pull him into the illusion.

Moreover, the Third Mizukage also condensed a layer of water film in his eyes to specifically rebound the power of the Sharingan - this was definitely a ninjutsu developed specifically for the Uchiha clan.

Seeing the Third Mizukage being so cautious, Uchiha Feiyu finally felt that his caution was not in vain. He casually snapped his fingers and pointed at the Third Mizukage:

"Seven Ninja Swordsmen, your target is him, go ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven people, each holding a ninja sword, rushed forward.

The Third Mizukage's eyes moved, but he did not take any action. Instead, an ice crystal mirror appeared behind him. He simply stepped back and entered the ice crystal mirror.

"Ice Styles Kekkei Genkai? Is this guy a ninja from the Snow Clan?"

Uchiha Feiyu was a little surprised, and at this moment, the attack of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had hit the ice crystal, smashing the mirror into pieces.

The mirror shattered into ice crystals, but the Third Mizukage had disappeared without a trace. Uchiha Feiyu sneered:
"Want to escape... can you escape?"

The Snow Clan's magic mirror ice crystal looks very similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, but both the moving distance and the required prior preparations are much worse than the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Third Mizukage escaped from the Mizukage's office, but only appeared at the outer door of the office and could not escape Uchiha Feiyu's perception at all.

Before the Seven Ninja Swordsmen could react, Uchiha Feiyu had already swung back, and several kunai that flashed with cold light pierced directly through the door.

Ding ding dang dang, the Third Mizukage casually condensed an ice blade to block the kunai that was stabbing at him. At the same time, he opened his mouth to shout, but at this moment, Uchiha Feiyu's figure flashed and appeared in front of him.

"Space-time Ninjutsu?! Not good!"

The Third Mizukage showed a hint of surprise on his face, but before he could react further, he had already seen the three magatama in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes:

"Do you think you can defend against the real Mangekyō Dojutsu with just a little trick? You are so naive! Tsukuyomi!!"

Compared to the subtle and silent illusion of controlling the five senses, Tsukuyomi's Kaleidoscope illusion is not only simple and crude, but most importantly, it cannot be blocked by ordinary methods of dealing with illusions!

The water film in the eyes of the Third Mizukage might be able to protect against ordinary illusions cast by the Mangekyo, but it definitely cannot block the exclusive illusion like Tsukuyomi!

"Ugh..." The Third Mizukage groaned, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen had already rushed over, and Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand:

"There are a few little rats in the Anbu here, I'll leave them to you to deal with!"

After saying that, Uchiha Feiyu stretched out his hand, and a strange suction force enveloped the Third Mizukage, instantly draining all of his blood, energy and spirit.

The originally slender Third Mizukage gradually shrank under the powerful attraction, with his limbs huddled up, turning into a shape like a dried baby corpse.

Feeling the increase in his own origin, Uchiha Feiyu nodded. With his current strength, he could only feel a slight increase in his origin when he absorbed the origin of a Kage-level strongman.

At this time, several screams were heard around the Mizukage's office. A moment later, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen came back, holding four heads in their hands.

These are the Anbu members who were on duty around the Mizukage's office. Now they have all been killed. It can be said that there is no ninja in the entire Mist Village who knows about the existence of Uchiha Toba.

"Next... we should go find that Mei Terumi. As for the rest of you, let's try to see if we can control the entire Mist Village first!"

With the strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, there is definitely no hope for them to control the Mist Village. After all, they are seven people, not just one, and their individual strength is still insufficient.

Even the strongest Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, holding the big sword Samehada, is only at the quasi-kage level in strength. It's not like all the strong men in the Mist Village are dead, so it's not his turn to give orders.

However, the strength of the seven of them was enough to cause a riot in the entire Mist Village and throw the entire village into chaos.

Only when the Mist Village is in sufficient chaos can Uchiha Feiyu ensure that his people can come to power, so these seven people are just Uchiha Feiyu's cannon fodder.

……

The Third Mizukage died very quickly, and didn't make any big noise until his death, but as the leader of the Mist Village, his death was undoubtedly a big event!
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not hide their actions at all. Although the body of the Third Mizukage had turned into a shrunken mummy, it did not stop them from showing off the thing as a trophy.

For a time, as the news of the tragic death of the Third Mizukage and the rebellion of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen spread, the entire Mist Village was in an uproar.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are well-known top figures in the entire Mist Village. Their deterrent power over ordinary Mist Ninjas is unparalleled. However, to real masters, these seven guys are just that.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen claimed that they could conquer a small country when they joined forces, but Scorpion of the Red Sand was the one who actually conquered a small country on his own. Not to mention that half of the Seven's strength was based on the power of their ninja swords, and most of their real strength was just that of the stronger jonin. How could they possibly suppress the strong men of the Mist Village?
As soon as the news of this group's rebellion got out, people came to the door, and the leader was none other than the Snow Clan of the Mist Village!
The Third Mizukage was a member of the Snow Clan. To be able to become the Mizukage, he must have been the chief of the Snow Clan. The chief was killed inexplicably, so naturally this group of people wanted to take revenge.

Similarly, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen also have a group of ninjas they have recruited. Their combined strength is not much worse than that of the Snow Clan, and they have already been gathered by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Right in front of the Mizukage's building, the two gangs of ninjas looked at each other sternly, and they were about to start a war.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen! You are clearly the direct subordinates of the Mizukage, yet you dared to commit treason and assassinate the Mizukage!"

"Hmph... What's the use of Mizukage or not? A Kage who has been controlled by illusions for so many years is simply a disgrace to our Mist Village. If we kill him, we will be able to wash away the stain on the entire Mist Village!"

"What nonsense! I think you just want to restore the cruel system in the blood mist, so you want to assassinate Mizukage-sama!"

"Hehe... Is there anything wrong with the village's blood mist system? It is precisely because of this system that the Mist Village can cultivate so many elites!"

Just when the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were arguing with the Snow Clan, Uchiha Feiyu's figure flashed and came to a corner of the Mist Village.

"The Terumi clan... So there really is such a clan in the Mist Village! But this small clan is famous for its fire escape technique, and I have never heard of any bloodline limit."

"Practicing Fire Style in the Land of Water, no wonder the Terumi clan is not well-known and has so few members... Given the environment of the Land of Water, the power of Fire Style will naturally be weakened by two or three levels."

The escape techniques of the five major ninja villages have a lot to do with their national environment. For example, practicing fire escape techniques in the Land of Water will not only weaken the power, but will also make training more difficult.

Of course, if one can hone the Fire Style Ninjutsu in such a harsh environment, then the ability to control chakra will be unparalleled. Perhaps this is why Mei Terumi became a genius with two different bloodline limits.

In the original work, the Kages of the five major ninja villages basically relied on the inheritance of their predecessors. Even Tsunade, her medical ninjutsu benefited a lot from her two grandfathers, and she also had the special physique of the Senju clan.

Only Mei Terumi developed two different bloodline limits entirely on her own. If we really don't count bloodline and only talk about talent, perhaps this Mizukage, who is at the bottom of the list in terms of strength, is the greatest genius among the Five Kage.

As a small ninja clan with a low presence in the Mist Village, the Terumi clan obviously has no intention of getting involved in the current chaotic situation in the village.

In the original work, the biggest reason why Mei Terumi was able to become the Mizukage of the Mist Ninja, in addition to her own talent, was that the Blood Ninja Clan had already been killed by the Fourth Mizukage. The Terumi clan was able to become a general among the dwarfs, and as an ordinary ninjutsu inheritance family, its strength was highlighted.

But now the Snow Clan, the Hozuki Clan, and the Kaguya Clan are all fine. The strength of the Terumi Clan is really not enough in front of these three blood-stained ninja clans, so naturally they have no intention of getting involved in the replacement of the Mizukage.

"I'm afraid it's because Mei Terumi's own strength is not enough! She is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and she should only have the strength of an elite jonin."

"And I've never heard of a ninja with dual bloodline limits in the Mist Village. Either her bloodline limit has not been developed yet, or she has been hiding her abilities. Whatever the case, Mei Terumi will definitely not be able to join this change in the top leadership."

While thinking in his mind, Uchiha Feiyu walked into the clan territory of the Terumi clan. He swept his perception ability and walked towards a very young and at the same time the most powerful aura he sensed.
