Chapter 218: Mei Terumī, You Already Have The Answer In Your Heart
But at that moment, Juzo Biwa’s suddenly slightly cold voice made Momochi Zabuza stunned for a moment.
“I know you’re also dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage and the Bloody Mist Policy. But don’t think you can finally breathe a sigh of relief, don’t think you can feel fortunate, just because he was killed by a Uchiha member, just because those who supported the Bloody Mist Policy are basically all dead.”
Juzo Biwa stared at Momochi Zabuza, and slowly spoke to this junior from Hidden Mist Village: “Demon. I’ve heard about some of your methods. On the stance regarding the Bloody Mist Policy, yours is the same as mine and Uchiha Ikeizumi’s.”
“But in other aspects, your stance is completely different from ours. In Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes, you are one of the villains. Don’t tell me that you, as a member of Mist Anbu, have never committed evil deeds.”
“Killings on the battlefield can be excused from being evil deeds, but during the process of helping the Fourth Mizukage carry out ninja missions… can you truly say with a clear conscience that you haven’t crossed any bottom lines?”
The warning and questioning from Juzo Biwa.
Made Momochi Zabuza fall into silence.
He could clearly feel that the Juzo Biwa in front of him was emanating a killing intent targeted at himself.
And the other had already gripped the Executioner’s Blade in hand.
Clearly, Juzo Biwa had already sided with the Konoha Ninja, and he was also very familiar with that Konoha Ninja’s methods. His own existence was something that Konoha Ninja could not tolerate.
“Heh…” But the next second, Momochi Zabuza, whose body was already exhausted to the extreme in every way and had no strength left to leave Hidden Mist Village, suddenly laughed out.
He even laughed with some relief.
“Juzo Biwa. Even if you were once a senior I respected, you can’t underestimate my capacity like this.” Momochi Zabuza grinned ferociously and raised his head, staring straight at Juzo Biwa.
“For someone like me, the only meaning of life is to kill the Fourth Mizukage! To dismantle the Bloody Mist Policy!”
“My inner schemes, my secret actions, were all preparations for assassinating the Mizukage. Since that guy has already been killed, since the Bloody Mist Policy has basically been dismantled, for me, the meaning of clinging to life has ceased to exist.”
“Do you think I’ll fear death? Are you deliberately reminding me so that I’ll exhaust all my strength to escape, letting me off in this way? Heh, if that Uchiha Ikeizumi finds out you’re doing this, he definitely won’t trust you anymore?!”
Having said so much in one breath seemed to have aggravated his internal injuries, and Momochi Zabuza coughed a few times.
He reached out and wiped the blood that had already stained his chin.
His other hand had at some point reached for the ninja tool bag and pulled out a kunai from inside.
Momochi Zabuza gripped the kunai tightly, gasping for breath, staring straight at Juzo Biwa: “My life won’t end in the hands of a Konoha Ninja. Juzo Biwa, if you’re willing to be a dog for the Konoha Ninja, that’s your choice, and I have no right to interfere.”
“Let me see the power of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist…”
Puchi—
Before Momochi Zabuza could finish his words, he felt that Juzo Biwa’s figure in front of him suddenly became extremely blurry, as if in the blink of an eye, the whole person had disappeared.
Momochi Zabuza murmured in a daze: “So fast… But if I weren’t injured, I definitely could have reacted…”
Clang, it fell to the ground.
The kunai in hand had dropped to the ground, and Momochi Zabuza’s whole body collapsed forward, blood spilling all over the damp ground underfoot.
Juzo Biwa had at some point stood behind Momochi Zabuza.
He stared at the blood on the Executioner’s Blade, which was gradually being absorbed by the Executioner’s Blade, then lightly sighed.
……
On the other side.
Mei Terumī, Ao, and Elder Yuan had already met Uchiha Ikeizumi again.
To be honest.
When this neatly dressed, not a drop of blood on him Konoha Uchiha Ninja stood in front of them. Even Elder Yuan, who had the longest seniority in Hidden Mist Village and was the most respected, felt a trace of nervous emotion unconsciously rising in his heart.
‘To think that I, in my old age, feel unprecedented pressure from such a young man. Unbelievable.’
Elder Yuan sighed inwardly.
Feeling that the era belonging to his generation seemed to have passed.
Now…
The Ninja World was already the stage for these young people.
“Sir…” Elder Yuan said to Uchiha Ikeizumi: “You have already killed our village’s incompetent Fourth Mizukage, and also killed many stubborn supporters of the Bloody Mist Policy who caused Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Water to become increasingly decayed and backward…”
With just a short sentence, Elder Yuan defined today’s events in Hidden Mist Village and who was right or wrong between both sides.
He paused, then continued: “So… shouldn’t the killing stop now?”
Uchiha Ikeizumi glanced at this elderly man.
He slowly said: “Do you think the sins of Hidden Mist Village or the Land of Water have been completely eradicated?”
Elder Yuan was stunned.
“…They have been completely eradicated!” After thinking, Elder Yuan nodded solemnly. At least in his eyes, it was so, after all, it seemed only the Bloody Mist Policy had been hindering the development of the Land of Water and Hidden Mist Village, and it was the Bloody Mist Policy that had been harming the people.
Uchiha Ikeizumi then looked at Mei Terumī: “And you? Do you think it’s over?”
When the question turned to Mei Terumī, Elder Yuan was already drenched in sweat, because he felt like he had given the wrong answer.
Mei Terumī also realized that Master Gen had given a wrong answer.
She could only forcefully swallow back the three words “It’s over” in her throat.
With a tense and pretty face, she answered: “Not yet!”
“Where is not over yet?” Uchiha Ikeizumi asked again.
The problem was, how would she know where it wasn’t over? So many people had already died, could it be that the sins of Hidden Mist Village really hadn’t been ended?
So where exactly were the sins?
Did this man intend to kill everyone in Hidden Mist Village before stopping? What exactly did she need to do to prevent Hidden Mist Village from being completely destroyed by Uchiha Ikeizumi?
Just as Mei Terumī was breaking out in cold sweat… suddenly, a flash of insight crossed her mind.
But she hesitated.
“You seem to already have the answer, why not say it?” Uchiha Ikeizumi took a few steps forward, now close to Mei Terumī.
This extremely close distance made cold sweat ooze from Mei Terumī’s palms.
“There are still…”
Mei Terumī gritted her silver teeth. Whether it was her survival instinct or some other reason, she finally gave up hesitating.
She said: “There are still… those who profited from the Bloody Mist Policy! And those who took advantage of the chaos brought to the Land of Water by the Bloody Mist Policy to commit evil… Most of these people are those holding certain authority… or those with certain status in the Land of Water…”
“To be precise… it’s that group of merchants, nobles, and the Daimyo!”
