Chapter 225 Dispelling the Illusion
Chapter 225 Dispelling the Illusion
"Isn't this supposed to be a coup rally?"
"Why did they all run away?"
Mo Shuang looked at Hozuki Mangetsu, who had just sat down opposite her, with a puzzled expression.
"Don't look at me, I don't know why either!"
"Also, we're even now, aren't we?"
Hozuki Mangetsu was still somewhat embarrassed as he recalled the situation. Thankfully, Zabuza seemed to have misunderstood, otherwise...
"Okay, we're even." Mo Shuang nodded and got up to leave the izakaya.
"Mo Shuang, what are your thoughts on the village's current policies?" Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly asked.
Mo Shuang stopped in her tracks, her foot about to step out. "What do you think?"
"Sorry, I only know how to treat patients!"
"Perhaps you could introduce me to Lord Mizukage."
This time she didn't linger and left directly.
Hozuki Mangetsu asked after hearing her reply, "What does Moshuang mean by this? Is she reminding him that there's something wrong with the Mizukage?"
Thinking about it from this perspective, many things seem to make sense.
Mo Shuang left the izakaya and headed to the training ground. Having just obtained an A-rank ninjutsu, she naturally wanted to practice it.
As soon as she arrived at the training ground, she saw her junior brother practicing. He seemed a little unhappy. "Yu Gao, did you argue with the teacher again?"
"Mo Shuang, all I want is to get the teacher's approval, why is it so difficult!" Yu Gao was immediately discouraged when he saw Mo Shuang.
"Why do you need recognition? In your teacher's heart, your safety and well-being are the most important things. You can't have missed that, can you?" Mo Shuang raised an eyebrow and calmly explained to him.
Is...is that so?
"Why doesn't the teacher ever say that?" Yu Gao asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Just pay more attention to it in your daily life, and you'll know," Mo Shuang pointed him in the right direction.
When I have some free time, I'll talk to Teacher Monroe about it. "Even if it's for the good of the disciple, not making things clear is the worst thing that can happen. It will only deepen the misunderstanding." I'll just let her be the mouthpiece.
Ye Li had already extracted the Yin Tail portion from Yu Gao's body, making it much easier for him to become a perfect Jinchūriki. She believed that Yu Gao could definitely do it.
After training for a period of time, Mo Shuang mastered this A-rank water-style ninjutsu.
She has only grasped the basics; she's far from being able to use it skillfully. She wants to improve it further, making it so that she can turn water into ice and ice into water anytime, anywhere. This would require exceptional chakra control and comprehension.
She had previously been able to easily convert S-rank ninjutsu, so A-rank ninjutsu was naturally a piece of cake for her; it was just a matter of time.
That's all for today, let's call it a day.
It was already dark, and at this time of night, Kirigakure was very unsafe. Although she was not afraid, she found it troublesome.
Back home, Mo Shuang found a water stain on the table. She infused it with a little chakra, and the originally irregular water stain slowly turned into two lines of text.
Without a doubt, it was Hozuki Mangetsu's doing.
I thought he would endure it for a few more days, but I didn't expect him to not even be able to endure it for a day.
The next day, Mo Shuang arrived at a breakfast shop as agreed.
"Are you treating us?" she asked the person next to her without any politeness.
Hozuki Mangetsu paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Boss, one of each, please!"
After taking the food, Mo Shuang turned to Hozuki Mangetsu, signaling him to hurry up and pay.
Hozuki Mangetsu smiled helplessly and stepped forward. "She really doesn't hold back at all. Luckily, he brought money with him today."
The two walked together for a while, and seeing that Mo Shuang's food was getting less and less, Hozuki Mangetsu was about to say something when she spoke first, "You keep staring at the food in my hand. Haven't you had breakfast yet? I'm full, so you can finish the rest!"
"That's not what he meant!" Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly became a little frantic, wanting to throw it away but not wanting to do so in front of her.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Mo Shuang asked, extending her hand.
Although the remaining two breakfast options didn't suit her taste, she could still finish them.
“You give things away, and you take them back!” Hozuki Mangetsu instantly understood what she meant.
After saying this, he picked up the food and started eating.
"Hmm? It's his favorite red bean bun!" Actually, she's quite thoughtful, not as cold as she appears, Hozuki Mangetsu thought to himself.
Upon arriving at the Mizukage's office, Mo Shuang was able to meet the Fourth Mizukage as she had hoped.
"Man Yue, what's the meaning of bringing this person here?"
In a single sentence, the cooperative relationship between the two of them was directly exposed.
Mo Shuang somewhat understood why Zabuza failed to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage in the anime; Hozuki Mangetsu's backstabbing was a major reason.
Hozuki Mangetsu's current change is probably because he's recovered from his illness!
Mo Shuang guessed the truth pretty accurately with just a few words.
She looked at the Fourth Mizukage, and Yagura also looked over. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Shuang held up two fingers, "Release!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yagura collapsed to the ground.
"Mo Shuang, what do you mean by this!" Hozuki Mangetsu quickly came to Yagura's side.
"Didn't you ask me to come and treat him?"
"You're not thinking of backing out, are you?!"
"Send over an S-rank ninjutsu scroll as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, I'll just take Shuiyue with me." Mo Shuang left these words, turned and left, casually leaving behind a Flying Thunder God mark.
"I've learned another new ninjutsu. What a wonderful day."
The next day, Mo Shuang noticed that the atmosphere in the village had changed.
"Has the Blood Mist policy ended?" she guessed.
Unfortunately, no one could answer her question, and she didn't want to go out today.
Not long after, the secret service came to visit, and Mo Shuang had no choice but to go out.
"Is there something you need from me?" She looked at Hozuki Mangetsu, whom she had met many times before.
"Here is the S-rank ninjutsu scroll you requested." Man Yue handed over a scroll.
Seeing the scroll, her disturbed mood finally improved a lot.
"How did you know that the Fourth Hokage was under a genjutsu?" Hozuki Mangetsu finally couldn't help but ask as he watched the departing figure.
"I don't know if the Fourth Hokage was under a genjutsu. I was just helping him remove chakra that didn't belong to him," Mo Shuang offered a reasonably plausible explanation.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
"I can leave without you."
For the sake of the S-rank ninjutsu scroll, she could allow Hozuki Mangetsu to ask a few more questions.
Hozuki Mangetsu stared at her for a moment, "I didn't let the Fourth Mizukage know that you can break genjutsu."
"Also, the village is going to implement a peaceful and open policy, and there will be many missions to be entrusted to you in a while. You should be sent to carry out the missions."
Seeing that Mo Shuang's expression was somewhat unpleasant, Hozuki Mangetsu finally managed to turn the tide.
"Doing a mission?" Mo Shuang thought to herself. "That's such a distant concept."
If Mo Shuang were given another chance, she probably wouldn't help the Fourth Mizukage break the illusion, even though the reward was very generous.
Mo Shuang was feeling a bit irritable, and without realizing it, she walked to a place she had never been before.
Just then, a villager ran out of a wooden house not far away, his face filled with terror.
"What the hell?"
Going there will help dispel the restlessness in my heart.
