The Chapter get Retranslated
While Mizu was thinking, Deidara said to him, "Mizu, where do we go next? We probably can't stay in the Land of Earth."
"Huh?" Mizu was startled by Deidara's words, stopping his thoughts about the Sharingan. He then fell into contemplation, considering what Deidara had said.
The setting sun was particularly vivid at this moment, appearing exceptionally poignant and sorrowful. Mizu looked up at the sun, which was fast sinking below the horizon, and made a decision. His eyes grew sharp. "It's time."
"We're going to the Land of Water! Some things need to be settled," Mizu said calmly, a hint of killing intent in his tone.
"The Land of Water? What for? I heard the Land of Water is currently in a civil war, and it's already reached a white-hot stage. Do you want to join the fun?" Deidara asked, his face full of interest.
"Of course. How can we miss such a grand show? Our goal in the Land of Water is singular: to help those so-called Rogue Ninja Army attack Kirigakure and kill the Fourth Mizukage!" Mizu stated calmly.
"Kill the Fourth Mizukage!!!? Interesting, very interesting. How can I miss out on something so amusing!! I'll let everyone witness my art!!
Surely, the name of the artist, Lord Deidara, will resound throughout the Ninja World!! Hahahaha…" Deidara became excited upon hearing Mizu's words and burst into laughter.
"Hmph!" Mizu chuckled lightly and then said, "Don't worry, there will be a time for you to shine! Everyone will see your art then. For now, let's find a place to rest and prepare, then head to the Land of Water!"
With that, the white clay bird quickly flew into the distance, disappearing into the faraway sunset.
It was now Konoha Year 57, spring, but the Land of Water was still filled with coldness and blood. The civil war had reached its most crucial moment.
Countless shinobi joined the Rogue Ninja Army, all the shinobi of the Land of Water who sought to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage's bloody rule gathered.
The leader of the rebel army was a very famous elite Jonin from Kirigakure, a female shinobi named Mei Terumī. She was rumored to possess two Kekkei Genkai,
not only having extraordinary strength but also a calm and resourceful mind. She surpassed countless male shinobi to become the leader of the rebels, standing out in the Ninja World.
Many shinobi of the Land of Water had vaguely sensed something amiss with the Fourth Mizukage, speculating that he might have been controlled by a jutsu. Thus, they joined the rebels to fight the Fourth Mizukage and the mastermind behind him.
The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, however, declared that the rebels were merely staging a coup to seize power and that rumors of him being controlled were pure nonsense, with their fundamental purpose being to seize control of the Land of Water.
Now, the battle between the two sides had reached a white-hot stage, with the entire Land of Water as the battlefield.
Both sides fought fiercely, refusing to give an inch, forming a standoff. The strength of the rebel army was no longer weaker than that of Kirigakure.
However, Mei Terumī, as the leader of the rebels, clearly realized that if the meaningless slaughter continued, the national strength of the Land of Water would quickly be depleted, while other countries were developing rapidly.
If this continued, the Land of Water's strength would be far surpassed by other countries, and eventually, even its title as one of the Five Great Nations would become nominal.
So, Mei Terumī made a very bold decision: to use all the strength of the rebel army to directly attack Kirigakure and kill the Fourth Mizukage. Then, everything would end. Indecision only leads to further trouble;
rather than slowly depleting national strength and weakening the country, it was better to resolve it all at once, quickly unify the Land of Water, and recuperate as soon as possible. This showed Mei Terumī's courage and confidence, which were no less than any man's.
The first to discover that the Fourth Mizukage was controlled was a shinobi named Ao. This shinobi was extremely famous in the Land of Water because he was not
only the only non-Hyuga Clan shinobi in Konoha to possess the Byakugan, making his reconnaissance and perception abilities the strongest in the Land of Water, but also because he was the first to discover the Fourth Mizukage's control.
The Byakugan could see through the flow and condition of chakra within a shinobi's body. Ao discovered the abnormality in the Fourth Mizukage's chakra flow through the Byakugan's observation and thus realized that the Fourth Mizukage had been controlled by Genjutsu.
In the original work, during the Five Kage Summit, Danzo's attempt to control Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, with Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan was also seen through by Ao using his Byakugan. At this time, Ao had become Mei Terumī's right-hand man.
In a damp forest in the Land of Water, Ao was currently leading a squad of rebel shinobi clashing with shinobi loyal to the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure.
"You rebels, you'd better surrender obediently! Lord Fourth Mizukage said that any rebel shinobi who willingly surrenders to Kirigakure will be treated leniently!" a Kirigakure Jonin,
wearing a Hidden Mist Forehead Protector, said coldly to the surrounded group of four or five individuals, leading a dozen Kirigakure shinobi surrounding Ao's squad.
Among the four or five individuals surrounded by a dozen Kirigakure shinobi, the one standing in the center was a middle-aged man with a black eye patch over his left eye,
short gray hair, and a talisman paper hanging from his ear. This was Ao, and the eye covered by the black eye patch was his Byakugan.
