Chapter 116 The truth about Kirigakure

Upon hearing the question, Sasuke couldn't help but picture the Kirigakure ninja with his face covered with bandages.

That was the first enemy he faced in his ninja career.

"He died an honorable death as a ninja. When he died, he was surrounded by the people who were most important to him."

Sasuke looked into the distance and seemed to see the heavy snow in the sky that day again.

"Don't mind, Zabuza is the senior that these children admire the most."

Terumi Mei's tone was calm, but she lightly wiped her face with her hand, as if wiping away tears.

"Now that you have accepted the mission, you must fight with your life. This is the fate of a ninja."

As Mei Terumi spoke, she seemed to be comforting Chojuro, and also seemed to be explaining to herself.

Chojuro couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself into Terumi Mei's arms and cried loudly.

"But, I heard that if Zabu kills him, he is a traitorous ninja of Kirigakure."

Seeing this, Sasuke couldn't hold back his inner confusion anymore and asked.

"No, let me tell you what the real history is."

Terumi Mei gently stroked Changjuro's hair and motioned for everyone to return to the house.

"Eighteen years ago, under the command of the Third Mizukage, the Kirigakure Ninja Village soldiers were divided into two groups, with all their elite troops marching towards Konohagakure Ninja Village. It was a huge gamble in the national destiny."

"However, both the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the three-tailed beast, which symbolized the highest combat power, ended in failure in that war.

"Since then, the ruling foundation of the 'Blood Mist' created by the third Mizukage has been severely shaken."

"In the blood mist, what does it mean?"

Shikamaru wondered.

"I heard Kakashi-sensei say that when we fought Zabuza."

Sasuke recalled: "The Kirigakure Ninja Village lacks resources and cannot train too many ninjas at the same time, but in order to maintain combat effectiveness, it has to embark on the path of elite ninjas.

"It is said that over a long period of time, in order to cultivate the consciousness of ninjas and ensure the improvement of combat power.

"Every year when the Ninja School graduates, the Kirigakure Ninja Village requires the students who have lived and studied together to fight each other. Only those who survive are qualified to become ninjas."

"hiss--"

Shikamaru couldn't help but take a breath, and couldn't help but think about what if he had to kill Choji or Ino to become a ninja.

Shikamaru shook his head. He was convinced that if this was the case, he would definitely not become a ninja.

"After the Third Ninja War, there was chaos at home and abroad. Under such circumstances, Gotachibana Yagura, a rising star among the younger generation of Kirigakure, turned the tide and stood up."

"Externally, he signed an armistice agreement with Konoha. Internally, he was committed to revitalizing Kirigakure's construction and economy, and took the initiative to seal the three-tails in his body, becoming the new three-tailed jinchūriki to protect Kirigakure. Over time, he has won the trust of young people and high-level rulers."

"Jinchūriki?"

Sasuke wondered.

"That's right. You don't even know this, right?"

Terumi Mei said in surprise.

Sasuke nodded awkwardly.

"Okay. To put it simply, there are nine tailed beasts in the ninja world. They are powerful and are controlled by the five ninja villages.

“The tailed beast is both a weapon and an important force in the village.

"But at the same time, if it gets out of control, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, the key point is control. And as the container, the person who seals the tailed beast is the Jinchuuriki."

Terumi Mei briefly introduced that in the ninja world, this is actually not a secret.

In her opinion, with the strength that Sasuke showed, it stands to reason that he would have been able to access such information a long time ago.

It seems that Konoha Hidden Village is really full of talents.

On the other side, Sasuke's heart was pounding.

Therefore, Gaara and Naruto are the jinchūriki.

At this time, Sasuke also had a better understanding of the monster inside Naruto.

".Since the Fourth Mizukage came to power, he soon became the partner recognized by the Three-Tailed Isofu and became the perfect Jinchūriki who shocked the ninja world."

"His responsibility, his tenacity, and his advanced ideas for the village made Brother Zabuza, Brother Mangetsu, and I all admire him very much."

Terumi Mei recalled, her eyes showing nostalgia and tenderness for the old days.

"But, it was during his reign that Zabuza killed all his students at the same time."

Sasuke couldn't help but said.

There is no doubt that what Zabuza did was completely the act of a devil.

Sasuke still doesn't understand why such a terrible person is so respected by Chojuro, Terumi Mei and others.

"No! Regarding that matter, no one will suffer more than Brother Zabuza."

Terumi Mei's voice was a little excited and she said tremblingly: "After the total defeat of Kirigakure Village, although Yagura wanted to push forward reforms, the conservative forces in the village did not accept it.

"In order to encourage the upper-class conservatives to make up their minds, the fourth Mizukage Yagura, who had just taken office, quietly found his own die-hard follower, the eldest brother Momochi Zabuza."

"Eleven years ago, when Zabuza was still a child, he killed all the more than a hundred candidates in the same period and became the only ninja to graduate that year."

Shikamaru couldn't help but feel horrified when he heard this story for the first time. Kimimaro, who was used to seeing death, also frowned slightly.

"This incident finally prompted the village to make up its mind and put an end to the 'blood mist' policy. Brother Zabuza used the blood in his hands to achieve success for us who came after us, and we no longer need to bear the pain they did."

Terumi Mei said slowly.

"Subsequently, Kirigakure Village returned to its prosperous period. Everyone in the village was united and everyone recognized and respected the fourth generation of Mizukage Goju Yagura. "At that time, there were Suigakuyama Fugu Oni, Ao, Genshi, Gonbei, etc. With the assistance of veterans, Zabuza, Mangetsu, and Yuri Ringo have each inherited the legendary ninja sword that symbolizes Kirigakure's highest honor, and everything is evolving towards a beautiful place."

Thinking about the hope of the past, Terumi Mei felt resentful and could no longer speak.

"Let me explain what happened next."

Qing picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank the gradually cooling tea in one gulp, and recalled: "All these beautiful things ended with the retreat of the Fourth Mizukage."

"Without any warning, Goju Yagura's temperament changed drastically and he did not allow anyone to approach him again. At the same time, he restarted the Blood Mist policy in the village.

"Because of fear of Yagura's prestige and strength, Kirigakure returned to the pre-reform reign of terror overnight."

"At that time, for Momochi Zabuza, the sky may have collapsed."

Qingxin Youqi said, at that time, he felt the same way.

"If the top management is allowed to restart Kirigakure's dark rule, it means that everything Zabuza has done with his companions, and the blood of all the innocent companions on his hands, will be meaningless."

"So, he decided to assassinate Mizukage?"

Shikamaru replied quickly.

"That's right, but I'm afraid the first one to do it is someone else."

"what?"

"That is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the previous generation, the strongest Ninja Sword, the holder of the Great Sword Samehada, Suikoyama Fugu Oni."

This name is quite unfamiliar.

But Samehada Sasuke is very familiar with it.

Isn't that shark-like man standing next to Itachi the current holder of the Great Samehada?

Terumi Mei continued: "Brother Zabuza once told me that because he noticed something unusual about Yagura, the Suikoyama Fugu Demon alone began a secret investigation.

“But soon, he was entrusted by the Fourth Mizukage to perform a mission out of the village.

"Before setting off, he handed over the information he collected to Zabuza. Then, during that mission, for an unreasonable reason, he was killed by Kisame the Inkisaki beside him."

Qing took over the conversation and continued:

"The death of the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon greatly stimulated Momochi Zabuza. From then on, he could no longer maintain his fantasy about Gotachibana Yagura.

"At the same time, as the leading assassination master, he finally made up his mind to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage."

Qing glanced sideways at Kimimaro beside him, then suddenly changed the subject and asked:

"If I'm not mistaken, the ninjutsu you use is the bloodline of the Kaguya clan that was once famous in the Kirigakure ninja village, right?"

Kimimaro was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"On the night of the coup, the Kaguya clan, Zabuza, and Demon Lantern agreed to attack at the same time. After a night of fierce fighting."

"Zabuza escaped and became a traitorous ninja. The strongest genius among his peers, Kito Mangetsu, died in battle. The Kaguya clan, the strongest in the ninja village, were all slaughtered and the clan was completely exterminated."

"But! People say that it was because the Kaguya clan was stupid and bellicose, and used their clan's power to actively provoke the Kirigakure officials, and that was the end result."

Kimimaro became emotionally excited in a rare moment.

"You were so stupid and belligerent, and why did you survive for so long, and only after the Third Ninja War did you exterminate your clan?

"You are so stupid and belligerent, why did you attack at the same time as Momochi Zabuza?"

Kimimaro suddenly remembered that when he walked out of his home and headed to the battlefield, he met two escaping ninjas on the road.

Those two people were Momochi Zabuza and Haku.

"History is always written by the victors. If you fail, you will only be remembered as 'stupid and belligerent'."

Qing smiled to himself.

Just like now, when I stand alone in the sentry tower, no one calls me the "white-eyed killer" anymore. Instead, I am called "the weirdo on the tower."

Kimimaro finally became emotional.

Before that, he had been listening to this story as a bystander. He never thought that the reason for his family's downfall was among them.

And the long-standing sense of emptiness and inferiority disappeared with the moment of learning the truth.

Now, if you think about it carefully, the tribesmen have locked themselves in the house and hid them for a long time, so why don't they want to save themselves from this blood mist?

Thinking of this, two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down Kimimaro's cheeks.

At this moment, he finally found his new mission.

To survive, for the sake of the continuation of the family, I have to work hard to survive.

Before that, he must also contribute to the subversion of the current Kirigakure Ninja Village.

"Please let me join you in this effort."

Kimimaro said solemnly to Mi Mei.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "So, the three of you are not together?"

Shikamaru couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, Kimimaro and Sasuke tacitly understood each other, and also laughed.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the gate of the Elder's Mansion.
