"That's simply asking the impossible!"
Jūzō Biwa complained to Kagami, extremely dissatisfied.
"I have absolutely no desire to go back to that annoying place!"
Early the next morning.
Kagami asked,
"You said last night that you didn't want to go back. Is there a reason?"
Jūzō Biwa pulled a bitter face, as if he didn't want to remember it at all.
"Didn't I already tell you? I fled because of Kirigakure's tyranny. I don't have the slightest bit of fondness for that place. It's a disgusting place."
"Disgusting? Is it really that serious?"
"The Blood Mist Village. Have you heard of it?"
Kagami suddenly raised his head. When Jūzō Biwa said that, he suddenly remembered something.
"Could it be—"
"That's right. It's exactly what you heard. The rumors outside haven't exaggerated things in the slightest. Kirigakure is currently a village that wantonly murders shinobi with Kekkei Genkai. It's bloody, cruel, and disgusting."
Kagami stared fixedly at Jūzō Biwa. He had felt that something was wrong last night, and now, after thinking about it, he finally knew what it was.
The Bloody Mist policy. Who had started it? The Fourth Mizukage!
And there was something very important about the Fourth Mizukage. Not long after Obito turned evil, the Fourth Mizukage had been controlled by Obito's genjutsu the entire time. Kagami vaguely remembered one detail about this: the Fourth Mizukage's genjutsu was eventually dispelled by Sei, and he died not long afterward.
This raised a question. Since the Fourth Mizukage died not long after his genjutsu was dispelled, that meant that from the time Obito turned evil until the Fourth Mizukage's death, the Fourth Mizukage had essentially been controlled by Obito!
There had been no period when the Fourth Mizukage acted according to his own will! Everything he did had been Obito's
