Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on him, Minato scratched the back of his head sheepishly, his cheeks tinged faintly red.
But soon, as if he had remembered something, Minato's expression changed slightly:
"Lady Tsunade, something's not right about this Third Mizukage..."
Not right?
What did he mean?
Was this Third Mizukage an impostor?
Seeing the confusion in Tsunade's and Orochimaru's eyes, Minato pointed to the Third Mizukage's body lying on the ground, a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"During the battle, I could clearly tell that the Third Mizukage's movements and techniques were very unnatural."
"Unnatural? What do you mean?"
Minato scratched his head, explaining as he recalled the fight:
"I mean, his movements were very stiff and disjointed during the battle. It was as if... someone were controlling him."
Ye Ning clicked his tongue from the side.

Ye Ning couldn't think of anyone besides Madara Uchiha who could control someone so subtly that even Minato had only suspected it, without noticing anything amiss.
Besides, Kirigakure's actions this time had clearly been orchestrated by Madara Uchiha.
The sound of Ye Ning clicking his tongue caught the attention of the other three.
Seeing their reaction, Ye Ning blinked and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Go on."
Only then did Tsunade turn her gaze away. Her brows furrowed slightly, disbelief written all over her face:
"The leader of an entire village was controlled? That's absurd."

A shinobi village of one of the Five Great Nations had two of the Uchiha Clan's members control two Mizukage, one after the other...
It was so absurd it was beyond belief.
"Minato, are you sure?"
Tsunade's expression grew serious.
This was no small matter.
A village leader controlled by someone
