Chapter 701: Terumi's guess—

Not only Zabuza, Raiga, and Utakata are also the same.

Originally, these people just came to the border of Kirigakure, intending to look at the village from a distance.

Waiting to make a decision later on whether to return to Kirigakure.

How do they know, because Orochimaru had appeared on the border of Kirigakure a few days ago and was not detected by the Kirigakure ninjas?

Terumi deliberately stepped up inspections of the village borders, and even volunteered to join the inspection team after her Mizukage's work was over.

Although Rifan did not specifically train Terumi in perception, it didn't mean her perception is weak, it just can't compare to Rifan's level.

In order to ensure that Terumi will not be assassinated, Rifan still guided her, and Terumi's current perception ability is also among the best in the ninja world.

As a result, Zabuza and the others were discovered by Terumi as soon as they arrived at the border of Kirigakure.

Then they were invited "friendly" by Terumi to the Mizukage building.

Utakata and Raiga didn't speak, but their eyes revealed similar thoughts.

Apparently, they haven't been sure yet to actually return to Kirigakure.

"Understandable, after all, the village has treated you like that before."

Terumi did not get annoyed by the words of Zabuza, but said with a smile:

"Let's do it, now the Second Mizukage-sama is fighting with the First Hokage."

"First Hokage should still challenge me later."

"If I can be good enough to fight the First Hokage, how about you joining by then?"

The corners of Terumi's mouth arched, and a sly light was hidden in her eyes.

She didn't say she was going to beat First Hokage, she just said she was good enough.

It also gave her a space for herself.

After all, even if she feels confident in her own Teigu's abilities.

But if she really wants to fight Hashirama, Terumi is not completely confident to defeat him.

If the trick of freezing time and space didn't work, she could only choose to prolong the battle time as much as possible.

"As expected of a Mizukage, they will really find themselves a step down."

Zabuza sneered.

As an elite, how could he not see Terumi's thoughts?

But he didn't say much about it.

"It's not just about strength." Utakata, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time. "Your strength has been shown in the battle with the Third Hokage."

"Even if you can't beat the First Hokage, you will never be considered unqualified in strength."

"What we want to see is what Kirigakure will look like under your leadership."

"If it's the way it used to be..."

Having said this, Utakata fell into silence again.

"Don't worry, everyone."

"The future Kirigakure will definitely not be what it was during the reign of Lord Fourth Mizukage."

"Please, believe me, even the four elders don't want that."

"All of this is due to the genjutsu that the masked guy performed."

Terumi said loudly.

"The guy in the mask?"

Zabuza frowned.

"That's right, not many people know about it. But now that it's been said on the Golden List, it's okay to tell you."

Terumi paused, then continued:

"Lord Fourth Mizukage once told us that he was controlled by a person with a Sharingan after he was freed from the Genjutsu."

"And that person's genjutsu is so powerful that it can directly affect the tailed beast in Lord Fourth Mizukage."

"It is precisely because the tailed beast is affected that the Fourth Mizukage will be defeated so thoroughly."

In order to be able to keep the two Elite Jōnin and Six Tails Jinchūriki.

Terumi didn't even bother to hide about things that would embarrass the Fourth Mizukage.

After all, as the Kage of a village, being controlled by the mysterious person of Uchiha, which is a bad thing to say.

"Sharingan?" Zabuza became more and more puzzled, "Is there a strong person who can control the Fourth Mizukage in the Uchiha clan of Konoha?"

"After our investigation, that person should not be from Konoha." Terumi shook her head, "Or, that person may be Konoha Village Rebel."

"After the incident of Lord Fourth Mizukage, although the village is closed, we can still investigate many things."

"Six years ago, the Nine Tails riot in Konoha caused a great disaster, and Fourth Hokage also died in that riot."

"However, it stands to reason that, given the circumstances of Konoha at the time, there was no such thing as a situation where Nine Tails was out of control."

"Recalling the situation of Lord Fourth Mizukage, I suspect that Nine Tails of Konoha was also controlled by the mysterious powerhouse who controlled Lord Fourth Mizukage at that time, which caused the riot in Konoha."
