"... So he really is the Second Mizukage?"
"This is amazing! People from all over the world have come; it seems like only the Kumogakure is missing."
After Hozuki Gengetsu proved his identity, the others were not surprised by his identity; instead, they marveled at Grandma Chiyo's charm.
"By the way, does the Raikage have Impure World Reincarnation of the previous Raikage?"
"I don't know, probably not?"
After learning that Hozuki Gengetsu was Impure World Reincarnation by the current Mizukage through the Impure Amegakure Reincarnation technique, the group immediately wondered if other ninja villages would do the same.
If the Third Raikage were also Impure World Reincarnation using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and also harbored feelings for Grandma Chiyo, wouldn't Grandma Chiyo be destined to suffer the Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite?
This is even more powerful than the special skill of Kato-senpai, Shizune's distant relative.
The group had originally planned to go find Grandma Chiyo to confirm things, but now they were starting to dawdle.
What are you looking for?
Hozuki Gengetsu head, puzzled.
"N-nothing."
Several people waved their hands in denial.
"... Take me there quickly, don't bother looking for the Raikage, he won't show up."
The man with the mustache twitched at the corner of his mouth, suppressing the urge to explode.
He reassured himself, telling himself that the Shinobi World was now in a time of peace, times had changed, and the Five Great Shinobi Villages had united to fight against external enemies—this was a good thing.
He must treat the younger generation from other villages as if they were his own, and take the lead in demonstrating the demeanor and elegance of a senior from Kirigakure...
"Huh? Second Mizukage, how did you know?"
"I don't know, but I understand the Third Raikage's personality."
"Personality? What does this have to do with personality? Didn't someone with Madara Uchiha's personality fall for Grandma Chiyo?"
"..."
Hozuki Gengetsu.
The personality he was referring to was that the Third Raikage wasn't as intelligent as him. If the Third Raikage suspected Madara Uchiha of having a conspiracy, he would simply rush Past and fight, trying to kill and seal Madara Uchiha.
In any case, the Third Raikage could never be as great as him, enduring humiliation and sacrificing his reputation to uncover the truth.
But he couldn't shatter these young girls' fantasies.
Otherwise, what if they found out that Madara Uchiha and Grandma Chiyo's relationship wasn't a sweet romance but a dark conspiracy, and then they had a meltdown and refused to take him along?
What if he goes to confront Madara Uchiha and alerts him?
Tolerate!
"You're right, but what you don't know is that the Third Raikage actually likes men, and he has a secret relationship with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Hozuki Gengetsu smiled and rephrased the statement.
As for slandering the Third Raikage?
He sacrificed his reputation for the safety of the Shinobi World, claiming to be Grandma Chiyo's suitor. Couldn't the Third Raikage have done the same?
Besides, what if what he said is true?
"What?! The Third Raikage is one too?"
The group was surprised.
"Hmm, right—hmm?! What do you mean by 'also'?"
Hozuki Gengetsu nodded, then realized something was wrong.
"Well, it's just what we've heard, but the Fourth Raikage and the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B, are said to be closer than brothers."
"Yes, yes, they said the two of them ate at the same table, slept in the same bed, and even bathed in the same tub."
" The Fourth Raikage is almost fifty years old, isn't he? He's still unmarried, probably to avoid letting women interfere with his brotherly relationship with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Three women make a drama, and when it comes to gossip, these women are professionals. With each of them chiming in, they've created a whole story about the Raikage and Killer B.
?
Is it true or false?
Does that mean the Raikage is going to die out?
Hozuki Gengetsu somewhat taken aback.
He made it up on the spot, and it actually came true?
No matter how the Third Raikage tries to fabricate stories, the fact that he married and had children cannot be erased.
The Fourth Raikage is almost fifty and still unmarried. Isn't that just plain stubborn?
Hozuki Gengetsu was inwardly astonished, but outwardly he maintained a calm expression, acting as if he were a seasoned veteran who had seen it all and was no longer surprised.
"That's normal. The A-B Combo in Kumogakure actually means 1 and 0."
Furthermore, according to what you've said, the current Raikage has toned it down considerably.
Thinking back to the Third Raikage, that was truly terrifying.
Did you know that the Third Raikage had two titles?
The Strongest Spear, the Strongest Shield!
Do you know what this means...?
" The Third Raikage was both the attacker and the defender!?"
Matsuri and Yukata answered in unison.
"... Absolutely correct."
Hozuki Gengetsu was shocked to find that the ninjas of the Shinobi World today were so knowledgeable and so filthy. He was overcome with sorrow, but he could not show it.
"The wounds on the Third Raikage's body were all inflicted by him as the one who was attacked."
As the attacker, the Third Raikage once nearly killed the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Kakuzu in half. ( Kakuzu:?)
Hozuki Gengetsu continued spreading rumors about the Third Raikage without any remorse.
He was just disappointed that these people were only curious about why the Third Raikage hadn't come, not why the Second Tsuchikage, his old rival, hadn't come.
Otherwise, he could have enjoyed the endless supply of yellow peaches.
He'll just say later that he actually likes little boys, so Ōnoki, who never grows up, is his favorite... What a pity, what a pity.
"But wasn't the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha in that kind of relationship? Yet Madara is still pursuing Grandma Chiyo."
"..."
The question posed by the Yukata froze Hozuki Gengetsu's smile.
Damn it, how could he forget about that!
"Ahem, you all don't know this, but look, the First Hokage was married and had children."
Madara Uchiha's current pursuit of Grandma Chiyo is actually a form of First Hokage.
What he was thinking was, "Great, if you get married, I'll get married too; if you're heterosexual, I'll be heterosexual too."
He doesn't truly love Chiyo at all!
That's why I want to stand up and stop him!
If Chiyo pursues her own love, I will absolutely not stop her.
As long as I see Chiyo happy and content, even if I am all alone, I will be satisfied.
But Madara Uchiha is different; he sees Chiyo as a substitute. I absolutely will not allow that to happen!
I must stop Madara Uchiha and save Chiyo's happiness!
As Hozuki Gengetsu, his speech became increasingly fluent and his tone and emotions were very rich, which deeply moved the three little ones.
Only Temari noticed the problem.
She remembered, it seemed, it appeared.
Isn't the name Hozuki Gengetsu the legendary love triangle between the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and the Second Tsuchikage Mu had an improper relationship but were ultimately separated due to the village's hatred?
It seems that the "grass" in Kusagakure refers to the combination of the Mizukage and the Tsuchikage, and the "hozuki" in Hozuki Castle refers to the name of Hozuki Gengetsu.
No wonder Hozuki Gengetsu knows so much about this; it turns out he's one of them.
Wait, that's not right!
If Hozuki Gengetsu loves Mu, then why does he now say he admires Grandma Chiyo?
There's a problem!
After careful analysis, Temari came to the conclusion--
What Hozuki Gengetsu was saying was actually all about himself!
Because Wuwei (無為) reproduced in Hozuki Castle, the successive lords of Hozuki Castle were all named Wuwei (無為) or something similar.
Hozuki Gengetsu believed that Mu had betrayed him, so he wanted to betray Mu in return, and thus went to find Grandma Chiyo!
