Hidden Mist Village, one of Five Great Hidden Villages, is located in a deep mountain. It is named after the thick fog that cannot be cleared all year round.
When the village was first built, many ninjas were not used to it, but over time they gradually adapted.
However, this thick fog still brings a lot of inconvenience, especially for those road warriors who can only identify the direction by the landmarks in their field of vision, Hidden Mist Village is like a nightmare.
There was even a statement in early travel brochures: People with road fever should be accompanied by family members when entering the village, otherwise there will be consequences at your own risk.
Therefore, if any crazy person travels to Hidden Mist Village, it will be... a hellish start, and the series will be dismissed.
Many people don't understand why Land of Water has to choose a place where there are so many blue seas and blue skies, as well as bikinis and beaches.
...Actually, this is the result of First Mizukage's many considerations.
Hidden Mist Village is not too strong among Five Great Hidden Villages, but being alone overseas is a layer of protection, and the enveloping fog is another layer of protection.
Most importantly, he developed a move called Hidden Mist Self-Control Technique, which allows him to inject his chakra into the mist, allowing him to sense intruders.
There is no better place to build a village than this place.
As long as Mizukage stays in the village, he can quickly gain insight into the enemy's location and always be in an invincible position.
But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is precisely based on these protection methods that many ninjas have become unwilling to communicate with outside villages, preferring to shrink within Land of Water.
Especially after First Great Ninja War, this situation reached its peak.
However, Third Mizukage has a vision beyond that of ordinary ninjas, so while he is letting the village recuperate, he is also preparing to actively open up and seek communication with the outside world.
This was the first trip to Konoha.
It's a pity... his expectations are destined to be disappointed.
September.
The sky is getting brighter, and Hidden Mist Village in the early morning looks even hazier.
Normally at this point, the streets would be very sparse with pedestrians, but today was unusual. A large number of ninjas were rushing towards Mizukage Building like a tide.
Along the way, many familiar ninjas gathered together and whispered.
"Hey, did you hear that Mr. Third Mizukage is injured?"
"How is it possible? Master Mizukage is the strongest among Five Kage. Who can hurt him? Is your news false?"
"I also hope it's fake, but if you're not injured, why did Master Mizukage show up now? Today is four months since the end of Chunin Exams."
"What you said... makes sense. Could it be that Konoha did it?"
"Hey, why do you think so?"
"Isn't it? We didn't participate in Second Great Ninja War, and our strength has been completely preserved. Konoha must be jealous of us!"
"Awesome, I didn't expect you to have something in the international situation..."
"That is."
"... Then you can help me analyze it."
"What?"
"I heard that the patriarch of a big family was invited to Mizukage Building for tea, but he hasn't come out yet. Do you think... could it be that they colluded with Konoha?"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to be overheard." The man looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Who did you listen to? Is the information reliable?"
"Reliable, that person is a distant relative of my second uncle's neighbor."
"..."
"Shh, Kaguya Clan's ninjas are here..."
Both of you should keep your mouths shut, as if your eyes are looking at your nose, and your nose is looking at your heart.
As time slowly passed, more and more ninjas gathered in front of the building.
"Mizukage-sama appears!"
With an exclamation, everyone raised their heads.
On Mizukage Building, a long-haired man slowly walked over. He was carrying Mizukage Hat and wearing Hokage Robe. His face was extremely rosy and he could not look injured.
His appearance caused the Mizukage Building below to burst into cheers, and even the Kirigakure who were maintaining order looked as if they were relieved.
After not showing up for four months, Hidden Mist Village was already in a state of confusion and rumors were spreading.
The most exaggerated statement is: the four shadows teamed up with Demigod to jointly attack Third Mizukage. Mizukage Although the old man escaped unharmed, he was also seriously injured.
Now, Mizukage appears in front of everyone safe and sound, no matter what happened, it doesn't matter.
This is the charm of shadow.
It was like a kind of belief. Just by his appearance, even if he didn't say a word, the ninjas below seemed to have a backbone.
"This period has made everyone worried. Something happened after Chunin Exams, so he didn't show up for a long time..." Third Mizukage finally spoke.
"Do you want to know what's going on?"
"Think!" Many people shouted.
On top of the building, Third Mizukage heard this and nodded with a half-smile.
"It's simple, a ninja attacked me."
"What!" Third Mizukage's words were like spring thunder.
"Who dares to attack Mizukage."
"It can't really be those grandsons of Konoha..."
Third Mizukage pressed his hands and continued, "I won't say who attacked them, I have already caught them.
Over the past hundred days, I have been thinking about my own problems over and over again. I asked myself that since I became Mizukage, I have been working hard for more than ten years.
But our village, from Elder Council to individual families to some ordinary ninjas, don't see it this way. They stand on the standpoint of other countries and attempt to carry out a coup to oust me.
They confuse right and wrong, confuse right and wrong, suppress different opinions, and rebel against the village in the name of loving the village. They also think that they are proud of themselves, enhance the prestige of other countries, and destroy Kirigakure ambitions. How poisonous! "
Third Mizukage's eyes sparkled with brilliance, but everyone saw a slight cold light in his eyes from a distance.
"This trip to Konoha and the experience of the attack gave me a lot of ideas, so next, I will reform Hidden Mist Village!"
The ninjas below were shocked by the word "reform".
"It's time for a change. Hidden Mist Village should have changed a long time ago. Only by touching Elder Council, touching major institutions, and touching the training of ninjas can Hidden Mist Village really become stronger.
In the past, when ninjas from other villages saw us, they would always say that we are the Mysterious Village, but from now on... I hope they call us - Bloody Mist Village. "
After saying that, Third Mizukage glanced at the ninja below, turned around and left everyone's sight again.
After Third Mizukage left, the crowd in front of Mizukage Building slowly dispersed, but the solemn atmosphere that shrouded the entire Hidden Mist Village was like a thick fog that could not be dispersed no matter what.
The ninjas gathered in twos and threes again and began to make guesses and inferences about what Third Mizukage said just now.
Bloody Mist Village... Many ninjas think that this "blood" is the blood of their enemies, but they don't know that it is more for themselves.
The nightmare has just begun.
