Konoha: Uchiha's Gorgeous Rebellion

Chapter 278 Terumi Mei's Worries

"Terumi Mei-sama?"

Qing brought two water ninjas and landed next to Mei Terumi. He noticed that her brows were furrowed and couldn't help but express his confusion.

"Something's wrong. Mizunotsuki Masato's reaction is very strange."

Mei Terumi whispered to herself.

At the same time, Mizunotsuki Masato was sitting in the empty room, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

"Master Yuan, you underestimate my Mizunotsuki clan.

It seems that for a long time, our Mizunotsuki clan has been so low-key and humble that people think we are weak and can be bullied.

If I confess my crime to Yagura, wouldn't that be begging for mercy from him? Although I am not a reckless man like Kaguya Kurokora, I will not do anything that would damage the reputation of my family.

You wanted to sacrifice me to save the Mizunotsuki clan, but the problem is that I cannot believe your guarantee. In the face of the Mizukage's strong will, even you, as the chief elder, have to submit.

I cannot rely on your so-called guarantee for the safety of my family."

On the other side, Mei Terumi entered the Yuanshi residence again.

"Master Yuanshi, I have conveyed your message to you, but I am a little worried about Mizunotsuki Masato's reaction."

Terumi Mei said solemnly.

Master Yuan put down the teacup in his hand, smiled calmly and said, "Could it be that Mizunotsuki Masato was angry and lost his temper, and was rude and disrespectful to me?"

"No, on the contrary, Mizunoe Masato has remained calm. He gave me the feeling that he didn't care at all about the suppression of their Mizunoe clan by the Mizukage-sama next."

"what!"

Master Yuan frowned, a solemn expression on his face.

If Mizunotsuki Masato expressed dissatisfaction and anger at his suggestion, that would be a normal reaction.

After a moment of contemplation, Master Yuan asked Terumi Mei, "What do you think?"

Mei Terumi said, "With what happened to the Kaguya clan, I believe that Mizunotsuki Masato knows exactly what will happen to the Mizunotsuki clan next.

But when I met him, I didn’t see a trace of anxiety on his face; this means he probably has a plan for dealing with it.”

The master's face darkened and he said, "From what you said, Mizunotsuki Masato should have rejected my proposal. Could it be that he wants to imitate the Kaguya clan and start a rebellion?"

"The Kaguya clan has proven that launching a rebellion is only to bring about their own destruction. It is impossible for Mizunoe Masato not to know this."

After a pause, Terumi Mei said in a deep voice: "Master Yuanshi, I suspect that the Mizunotsuki clan may have defected."

"Defection? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

The Master was startled at first, then immediately said: "There are already Anbu monitoring the area around the Mizunotsuki clan. How are they planning to defect?"

"What if someone responds?"

Mei Terumi showed a fearful look and said, "That white-bearded Edward Newgate has been in and out of the village without being noticed. It is very likely that Mizunotsuki Masato has secretly contacted him.

Since Whitebeard saved the orphan of the Kaguya clan, he must be interested in the bloodline of the Mizunotsuki clan."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan fell into silence, with the expression on his face changing several times.

After a while, he exhaled and said, "Mei Terumi, your guess is very likely."

"Master Yuanshi, if Mizunotsuki Masato is really colluding with Whitebeard, then we must make preparations early.

I suggest that you send a message to Harusame Jonin immediately and ask him to bring the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao back to the village."

Terumi Mei said.

"You mean that it will probably take the power of the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails to deal with that Whitebeard."

The Master showed hesitation and said, "The village let the Six-Tails Jinchuriki wander outside so that he can learn how to control the Six-Tails in his body. He has not yet fully mastered the power of the Six-Tails. Once the seal is released, it will probably cause incalculable damage to the village."

“Master Yuanshi, you are worrying too much. If the Mizunotsuki clan really defected, we can set up an ambush outside the village to stop them.

And if the obstruction fails, we can no longer show mercy to the Mizunotsuki clan if necessary.

We must never allow the Mizunotsuki clan to join other forces. Once the truth is exposed, our Kirigakure will probably become the object of ridicule by everyone in the ninja world.

So the village needs Vulpix's power."

Terumi Mei said with a determined expression.

"Mei Terumi, I am very confident that the future of the village will be in your hands."

Master Yuan looked at Mei Terumi and suddenly said this.

Then he changed the subject, “I will send a message to Harusame immediately and ask him to bring the Six-Tails Jinchuriki back to the vicinity of the village.

Well, I hope things won’t turn out as we fear.”

"As long as Lord Mizukage can change his mind, the Mizunotsuki clan will be at ease, but none of us can persuade Lord Mizukage."

Mei Terumi said with a complicated expression.

She understood the possible defection of the Mizunotsuki clan, but as a jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, she could not sit idly by and watch this happen.

In the next few days, as the ninjas of the Mizunotsuki clan in the Intelligence Department, Security Department, and Assassination Department were cleared out one by one, the atmosphere in the Hidden Mist Village became more and more solemn.

Everyone knows that the Mizunotsuki clan is the next Kaguya clan.

The land of the Mizunoe clan.

"Chief, Kirito and his men were directly stripped of their positions. Yagura made no secret of his ill will towards us."

In the elegant room, a middle-aged man stood in front of Mizunotsuki Masato and said with an angry look on his face.

"Now that all the tribe members have been relieved of their duties in the village, Yagura is trying to trick us. Chief, you should tell us the third option you mentioned."

"Chief, four more squads of Anbu have been added to monitor outside the clan territory."

Looking at the tribesmen with angry faces, Mizunotsuki Masato said: "I have reached an agreement with Whitebeard. He will help us leave the Hidden Mist Village."

Hearing this, the Mizunotsuki clan members, who had originally shown resentment on their faces, suddenly quieted down.

"Patriarch, do you mean that the family is preparing to defect?"

"That's right. Since the Hidden Mist Village can't accommodate us, then we should go to a place that can accept us."

Mizunotsuki Masato said.

“The Kirigakure Village insulted us like this. It’s not us who betrayed Kirigakure, it’s Kirigakure who betrayed us.

I support the Patriarch."

After a moment of silence, a member of the Mizunotsuki tribe spoke first.

His words immediately aroused the support of other clan members, and they all expressed their support for the family to leave the Hidden Mist Village.

After a while, as the tribesmen left, the room returned to silence.

Mizunotsuki Masato stood up and walked to the center of the room, then bit his thumb, used blood as a medium, and slapped the ground with his palm to draw a spiritual magic circle.

Along with the fluctuation of space, a figure flashed and appeared in the center of the spiritual circle.

"Huh? Who are you? Where's Whitebeard?"

Seeing the figure appearing in the spiritual circle, Mizunotsuki Masato couldn't help but speak with a wary look on his face.

This specific summoning ritual was left behind after Whitebeard and Mizunotsuki Masato reached an agreement that day, but unexpectedly, the person summoned was not Whitebeard, which made Mizunotsuki Masato feel uneasy.

You have to know that his family now relies entirely on Whitebeard's promise.
