(Dear readers, please rate this book with a 5-star review to support the author! I really need your encouragement!)
The land of water, a night shrouded in thick fog.
Yagura Karatachi stood by the window of the Mizukage's office, holding a newly delivered secret letter in his hand.
The ink on the letter was not completely dry, indicating that it had been delivered in a very short time.
"The Daimyo... dares to betray Kirigakure?... Is this information reliable?"
Yagura's pupils contracted sharply in the dim light.
The contents of the secret letter were clear and cruel... The daimyo of the Land of Water was planning to use the Uchiha clan's three peaks to eliminate him, along with some ninja clans from Kirigakure.
The commander of the Hidden Mist Army spoke with unusual calm: "These are our spies planted in Daming Prefecture, sent here urgently."
The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon grinned, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly, and its sharkskin writhed restlessly on its back.
"Have those noble lords finally lost their patience?"
Juzo Biwa leaned against the wall, the blade of his guillotine reflecting the candlelight: "We're still risking our lives on the front lines, while they're lying in the backyard, plotting how to get rid of us."
Raiga Kurozuki toyed with his Raiga-no-Kami, lightning crackling at his fingertips: "If you ask me, why don't we just... tonight?"
"Quiet."
Suddenly, Yagura raised his hand, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
He drew a circle in the air with his finger, and a ripple spread outwards.
"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique".
On the water, the scene of Daming Prefecture appeared!
In the brightly lit banquet hall, nobles clinked glasses and drank merrily, while the daimyo of the Land of Water raised his cup in celebration.
Minister Fujiwara no Satoshi, with a fawning smile, said, "Your Highness, as soon as the Uchiha Mitsurugi makes a move, Yagura Karatachi will surely die! At that time, Kirigakure will be yours for the taking!"
The daimyo of the Land of Water took a smug sip of sake: "Hmph, that madman Mizukage should have died long ago..."
The constantly changing images on the water mirror, along with the discussions, all revolved around eliminating the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and some disobedient Kirigakure ninja clans.
Yagura slowly turned around and looked at his trusted confidants standing in the shadows.
His voice was icy and chilling: "The Daimyo... no longer trusts Kirigakure. They would rather believe an outsider Uchiha than accept us again."
With the situation already in this state, Suigetsu Hobutsu began to ponder how to seize the astonishing wealth of those nobles.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Those noble gentlemen should have died long ago."
Raiga Kurosuki frowned slightly: "But wouldn't attacking the daimyo directly trigger a civil war?"
A glint of murderous intent flashed in Biwa Juzo's eyes: "Civil war? No... this will be a purge."
As soon as the midnight bell rang, a thick fog enveloped the entire Daming Prefecture.
This is not ordinary water mist, but a "blood mist technique" mixed with chakra, which can interfere with the detection of sensory ninjas.
"First squad, take out the outer guards."
The captain of the Hidden Mist Anbu stood atop the highest roof of the Daimyo's mansion, his voice carried through water magic to every member of the Hidden Mist Anbu.
The assassination squad led by Pipa Juzo infiltrated like ghosts.
Just as a guard noticed something amiss, his head was severed by a decapitation blade. Blood splattered on the wall, but was strangely absorbed by the mist.
Suigetsu Hozuki burst through the wall, and Samehada trembled with excitement.
A noble guard charged forward with his sword, but the moment he touched Samehada, his chakra was drained, and he collapsed as a dried-up corpse.
The pufferfish demon spat, "Too weak. With this little chakra, it can't even feed Samehada."
The sounds of fighting and screams continued to rise.
When Yagura Karatachi slowly walked into the banquet hall, the battle was already over.
The music in the banquet hall suddenly stopped.
The few surviving nobles huddled in a corner, while Fujiwara Tomo knelt on the ground, trembling.
The daimyo of the Land of Water smashed his wine cup on the ground with a "crack".
He cried out in terror, "Guards...guards...come quickly and protect me..."
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the daimyo of the Land of Water forced himself to remain calm.
But his trembling voice betrayed him: "Karagi Yagura...do you...do you know...this is treason!"
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, did not answer. He walked to the dining table and picked up an exquisite wine glass, playing with it.
"We risk our lives for the Land of Water, while you drink the most expensive wine and plot how to eliminate us?"
Minister Fujiwara Satoshi screamed, "Th-th, it was Uchiha Mitsunori who contacted us! He said it was possible..."
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
A 3-meter water sphere instantly enveloped Fujiwara Satoshi's body, and his explanation... turned into blurry bubbles in the water.
Yagura Karatachi walked up to the daimyo and activated the Water Mirror Technique once more.
"The scene in the mirror kept changing, showing the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water discussing how to eliminate them."
The daimyo of the Land of Water turned deathly pale instantly: "No... this is impossible... how could there be such a ninjutsu..."
Yagura's eyes were icy: "Truly... a bunch of fools... You think you can do this without anyone noticing?"
"Snap!"
The daimyo of the Land of Water had his neck snapped, and his body was thrown to the ground like a rag doll.
Meanwhile, screams of agony echoed from the various noble mansions of the Land of Water.
Yagura slowly turned around and turned his gaze to the remaining nobles.
These people were already terrified, staring at Yagura as if he were a demon from hell.
In a cold and ruthless voice, Yagura Karatachi said, "From today onwards, the Land of Water will be directly ruled by Kirigakure."
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the thick fog that reeked of blood.
This bloody purge has finally come to an end.
The commander of the Hidden Mist Army, expressionless, tallied the casualty figures: "The daimyo and his cronies totaled 731 people; 12 noble families were involved in the conspiracy; a total of 4214 people were eliminated..."
Yagura, gazing at the western horizon, interrupted, "Enough. Issue the order: seal off all ports immediately and increase border patrols. Also... prepare to receive our 'special guests'."
Suigetsu Hozuki, wiping the blood from Samehada, said, "You mean Uchiha Mitsumine?"
A cold glint flashed in Yagura's eyes: "This matter is definitely not that simple. Order all Kirigakure ninja to enter combat readiness."
Soon, Kirigakure sealed off all the ports of the Land of Water.
However, news of the coup in the Land of Water still spread throughout the entire ninja world.
"The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi... staged another coup... and Kirigakure seized control of the Land of Water."
"The daimyo and many nobles of the Land of Water... were wiped out and their clans exterminated by the ninjas of Kirigakure."
Overnight, the entire aristocratic class of the ninja world was plunged into unprecedented panic.
