"Hmm? What is Mizukage-sama doing just sitting there?" After clearly seeing the scene inside the Mizukage's Office, Ao was still somewhat dumbfounded.
He had thought Karatachi Yagura was plotting against Genji, which was why he had refused to see him.
So it had all been a misunderstanding!
Ao could not help feeling embarrassed and ashamed, thinking that he had made a mountain out of a molehill.
Still, he was very curious. Why was the Mizukage sitting there blankly, not even dealing with the documents on his desk? What exactly was going on?
Forget it. These are Mizukage-sama's affairs, so why should I meddle? Peeping on Mizukage-sama is already a serious crime. It would be even more inappropriate to look into anything else. With that thought, Ao prepared to withdraw his gaze and seal his Byakugan again.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of something that made every hair on his body stand on end.
"This... this is... H-how is this possible? Impossible! Why is the Chakra inside Mizukage-sama's body in a state of disorder?" Cold sweat trickled down Ao's temples drop by drop.
At that moment, it felt as though he had uncovered some unknown secret.
Thinking of everything that had happened in Kirigakure over the years, Ao felt as if the sky above Kirigakure had collapsed.
"Damn it! Mizukage-sama has been controlled by someone's genjutsu! Who could have done this? No, I must immediately tell Genji-sama!" Ao clenched his fists, his gritted teeth showing the extreme fury in his heart.
Someone had secretly manipulated their Mizukage right under the noses of everyone in Kirigakure!
If word of this got out, it would be the greatest humiliation in Kirigakure's history!
What worried Ao most was that they had no idea when Mizukage-sama had begun being controlled.
