Next door, Jingzi fell asleep under Bai's care. Yesterday's family changes broke a woman's heart. Since ancient times, emotional pain has always been the most tormenting. It is invisible and intangible, but it kills you one by one and makes you live a life worse than death. Duke is powerless to do anything about it. There is no solution to emotional pain. Only time can heal the pain.

There’s a saying that goes, it hurts for a while and then you feel better… Bah, you get used to the pain after a while!

It was a pleasant surprise to meet Akiko and Haku during this trip to the Land of Water. Duke had already decided to bring Haku back to Konoha no matter what. It would be a shame to leave such a good talent to Zabuza.

Speaking of Zabuza, he was quite stunning when he first appeared. He was cold-blooded and ruthless and had the temperament of a ninja. What was unexpected was that such a manly man was actually gay... Mizunotsuki's genes are really scary.

Speak of the devil, and here comes the devil! People cannot stand being talked about. Duke sat by the small window, looking around at nothing, and he saw a familiar figure.

Kirigakure Kijin—Momochi Zabuza!

It is not an exaggeration to recognize Zabuza just by looking at his back. Although there are all kinds of exaggerated weapons in the ninja world, in the Water Country, there are not many ninjas carrying door-sized ninja swords on their backs. If you add the bandage on his face, the range can be further narrowed.

The key is Mei Terumi!

Qing covered his eyes and said with a look of fear: "I'm afraid it's hard for you to believe it, but the chakra flow in the Mizukage's body is not normal. He is being controlled by an illusion!"

"During this period of time, Zabuza was very close to defecting, so why is he here?" Duke suddenly recalled that the reason Zabuza defected to the Hidden Mist Village was because of the failed assassination attempt on the Mizukage and the coup.

"Is this the plot...If Bai hadn't met me, he would have ended up in this small town and been taken away by Zabuza." Duke scratched his chin and stared at Zabuza's back thoughtfully.

Zabuza walked slowly along the streets of the town, walked around a few times, bought some small items, and then left the town. It looked like he was taking a walk during the mission, but Duke followed his steps and found a mark carved on the wall in a hidden corner.

“…”

Those who can come here to meet Zabuza are all qualified ninjas. They did not get angry because of Zabuza's ridicule. Terumi Mei said calmly: "The big families are parasites that restrict the development of Kirigakure. Mizukage-sama overthrows them, and we should support them."

"What!?"

The sound of rustling footsteps came from all directions, and seven or eight Kirigakure dressed as ANBU appeared one after another.

"But he has the support of the daimyo!" A supporting actor added that the Mizukage Yagura was in the right and no one could blame him.

Assassinating the Mizukage is not something that Zabuza can do alone. He was meeting up with his accomplices, and Duke did not disturb him. He wanted to see who the smart people were who would join forces with him to start the rebellion.

"You don't need me to tell you that. I can see that." Zabuza stopped sarcasm and nodded in agreement, "Mizukage-sama's actions are too extreme. He is not doing this for the village at all. Judging from his posture, he wants to kill everyone before he is satisfied."

"Daimyo...why not just change it?" Zabuza said shockingly.

"You're late, ghost man!"

Qing's words were like adding ice water to boiling oil. Except for Mei Terumi who already knew about it, everyone else was silent for a moment and then immediately became excited. Everyone was unconvinced. One of them said bluntly, "This is impossible! The Fourth Hokage is the only Jinchūriki in the village who can perfectly control the tailed beasts. He can't be controlled by illusions."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with concealing your identity. But you, on the contrary, are walking around town with a beheading sword on your back. Aren't you afraid of exposing your whereabouts?" A Mist Ninja dressed as an Anbu said dissatisfiedly.

By the way, Zabuza has eyebrows, but they are a little short.

After passing through a snowy forest and coming to an icy river, Zabuza glanced at the secret code on the ice, tapped the thick ice with his toes, and sneered in a low voice: "I'm already here, why don't you show up?"

Mei Terumi ignored the sting in Zabuza's words and said, "At first, I also thought that the Mizukage was acting according to the Daimyo's will. Although he was cruel and ruthless, his starting point was for the good of the village. However, his various actions later on clearly contradicted the village's development plan, and there were more and more voices of dissatisfaction in the village."

Zabuza sneered: "Since you have left the village, why are you still wearing masks? Are you afraid that I will know your identity?"

"What's going on? Have I been too restless recently?" Zabuza let go of the hilt of the sword. The conspiracy to assassinate the Mizukage made him a little neurotic. He was suspicious and found something wrong in everything.

Zabuza left the town and stayed there for a while to make sure that no one was following him. He then sped away and ran towards the woods in the distance.

"He's the Mizukage! The strongest man in the village!"

Qing nodded after hearing this, and looked around at everyone present, his face gloomy as he said: "The behavior of Mizukage-sama is getting more and more weird. During a mission, I accidentally learned that the conflict in the village was actually instigated by him. This is not what a village knight should do. The matter is too strange, so I hid in the dark and observed him with this byakugan eye..."

What the extra said was quite right, which showed that he also had his own views on illusion. Illusion was one of the three essential skills of a ninja. It attacked the enemy's five senses and made them fall into an illusion world. A skilled illusion user could even manipulate the flow of chakra in the enemy's brain nerves at will.

"You are such an insightful person. Can you tell that there is something wrong with the Fourth Mizukage?" Duke chuckled and created a clone in the room, and his real body followed quietly.

Several Anbu looked at each other, nodded to each other, and took off their masks. They were all well-known ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, and they all had the same identity. They came from small families, and when the Fourth Mizukage Yagura overthrew the rule of the big families, they worked the hardest.

Zabuza on the street suddenly felt a chill rising up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The alertness of a ninja made him dare not be careless. He pressed one hand on the hilt of the beheading sword and quickly scanned all directions. However, there were passers-by with numb eyes all around him, and no suspicious people.

"Tsk tsk, that sounds really nice!" Zabuza didn't believe such nonsense and sneered, "After overthrowing the big family, facing the butcher knife of Mizukage-sama, can't you sit still?"

"Be careful with your words!" Mei Terumi looked at Zabuza deeply and said to Qing: "Tell me what you saw."

Zabuza looked at the familiar or unfamiliar faces and laughed, "It's you! How ridiculous! Are the running dogs of the Mizukage ready to devour their master now?"

"You chose such a remote town? You are being too cautious!" Zabuza frowned.

There are two acquaintances of Duke here, the future Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, and Qing who got a white eye in the Third World War. Let's put Qing, the middle-aged man, aside for now. He has a big mouth, a low forehead, a flat nose... He looks so unlucky, so let's not talk about him.

"How could this be possible?"

At the age of 18, she was extremely beautiful, with a hint of the demeanor of a future queen. Her long brown curly hair covered her right eye, and her emerald green pupils were like a pool of clear water, bright and clear.

"I came to this town because of a mission. If I acted sneakily like you guys, it would arouse suspicion." Zabuza said disdainfully: "Since you have come to me, I have come as promised. It's time to reveal your true identity and let me know who you really are!"

This appearance is only slightly worse than Duke's...

Illusions are very dangerous. To remove an illusion, one must be very powerful and able to resist interference from the other party, or borrow the power of others. Yagura belongs to the latter. The perfect Jinchūriki is not afraid of illusions. As long as the Three-Tails injects its chakra into his body and removes the interference of the illusion, he can regain consciousness.

"But there is indeed an unknown illusion chakra in Lord Mizukage's body, and my trophy will not be wrong." Qing didn't understand why the perfect Jinchūriki would fall into an illusion, so he could only use his Byakugan to firm his position.

Duke was hiding under the ice of the river. He shook his head when he heard Qing's words. The perfect Jinchūriki was not afraid of illusions. It depended on who cast the spell. If he met Uchiha who could control even the tailed beasts, not to mention the three-tailed beasts, even the nine-tailed beasts would have to kneel. Three years ago, Obito controlled the nine-tailed beasts to attack Konoha.

Obito didn't have to do much, he could hypnotize both of them by casting genjutsu on both the Three-Tails and Yagura at the same time.
