Chapter 317 Surprise Change

With such a crime, the Third Mizukage wiped out all the members of the traitors, and no one dared to raise any doubts.

In this way, the people of Kirigakure and the Kirigakure ninjas will also transfer their hatred to Konoha Village.

In this way, the public's attention will be diverted, which will be of great benefit to the Third Mizukage in quickly establishing his own rule.

After Minato saw through his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel that the third Mizukage had a radical tough.

No wonder the Hidden Mist Village became like that afterwards. It was because such a person served as the third Mizukage.

He actually used the corpse of a Konoha spy to make a fuss. The Third Mizukage had some political skills.

And these are exactly what Minato lacks the most. After all, he died after only succeeding as Hokage for a short year.

However, Minato would never learn the Third Mizukage's skills.

"Ensui? Isn't that Master Ensui of the Hozuki clan?" At this time, some civilian ninjas of Kirigakure recognized a man next to the Third Mizukage.

It was the elder of the Hozuki clan, Hozuki Ensui.

The Third Mizukage smiled and nodded, saying, "Hozuki Ensui is loyal to the Hidden Mist Village. He has made a great contribution to the purging of the Hozuki clan this time. He will rebuild the Hozuki clan with his clansmen, and will become one of the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village."

"It is my duty as a Kirigakure ninja to protect the village and eliminate threats. The old clan leader is actually colluding with Konoha, which has greatly damaged the reputation of the Hozuki clan. I will rebuild the clan, obey the orders of the Mizukage-sama, and revitalize the clan!"

 Ensui's passionate speech made the civilians and the Kiri ninjas below even more convinced.

"Hozuki Ensui."

Minato's eyes sank slightly, he had never heard of this person, but he had often heard of the Hozuki clan during the Third Ninja World War.

This is an extremely powerful clan, and all members of the clan have mastered special water-based release techniques.

It seems that although the Hozuki clan was also listed as a target for purge by the Third Mizukage, some of them still support his rule.

It seems that all the Hozuki ninjas he heard about on the battlefield later were alive at this time.

With the testimony of Ensui, I am afraid that after the incident of exterminating the two clans, the Third Mizukage will not only not be questioned by the village ninjas, but his position will become even more solid.

"This is just the first step of my reform. Many clans in the village are still colluding with Konoha and trying to rebel. I am afraid that there may still be such people among the Kirigakure clan and ninjas."

The Third Mizukage said, his eyes darkened, and said: "I don't want to give you any chances. Next, I will continue to purge you all. The Hidden Mist Village does not need traitors!"

He said nothing, snorted coldly, and walked away.

At the same time, the unaware Kiri ninjas looked at each other, because they didn't want to be associated with the traitor unknowingly and lose their lives.

However, Minato knew that this was just an excuse for the Third Mizukage to eliminate dissidents.

"Miki-senpai, I'm sorry!"

Minato stared at the body of the Konoha ninja, mourned silently for a few seconds, and then left with the crowd of civilians.

Under these circumstances, Minato knew that he couldn't take him home.

For him who fell into the hands of the enemy ninja village, it was obviously impossible to retrieve.

The doubts that were originally in his heart were all answered, and there was no point for Minato to continue staying in the Hidden Mist Village.

He planned to leave the Hidden Mist Village after sending Mei Terumi home.

Calculating the time, the time he has been out this time is not short.

In the evening, Minato returned to the Alley where Mei Terumi was placed. When the latter saw him coming back, anger flashed across her young face.

Before she could say anything, Minato looked thoughtful and smiled, "Do you want to go out?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi swung her fist hard and punched the air, but it seemed as if an invisible wall was blocking her movements.

"This is the barrier you set up, right?" Mei Terumi said angrily.

"Of course, you should know that I can't let you run around." Minato shrugged.

"Tsk." Mei Terumi looked unhappy, but her heart was as clear as a mirror and she knew the reason why he did that.

He was also afraid that he would be in danger.

"Hurry up and eat. I'll take you home when it gets dark. It's time for me to leave too," said Minato, taking out some cooked food he bought from the street and starting to eat.

After hearing this, Mei Terumi suddenly quieted down and squatted beside him obediently, eating her dinner.

There were ripples in her eyes.

After this brief contact, she was actually a little reluctant to let a spy from another country leave?

The sky gradually darkened. Minato removed the barrier and cleaned up all the traces that might have been left. Then he took Terumi Mei and took advantage of the fog to rush to the Terumi clan.

He did not leave the mark near the Terumi clan because this clan was also full of experts.

As they gradually got closer to the Terumi clan, a look of ease gradually appeared on Terumi Mei's face.

Having experienced such a horrific scene, it is natural for her to cling to and yearn for her family.

Minato felt the same way when he experienced the Great Ninja War.

However, when he arrived outside the wall of the Terumi clan, Minato could faintly hear the sound of fighting coming from inside.

Immediately, he stopped Mei Terumi who was about to walk towards the main entrance, frowned and shook his head.

Mei Terumi was also extremely smart and she calmed down immediately.

Minato pulled her to the courtyard wall where the sounds of fighting were farther away, and stabbed the wall with a special kunai, and the wind chakra cover with the wind release directly pierced through it.

The crack was only a few inches wide, but Minato observed it and threw the kunai through the hole.

He took Mei Terumi's hand, and the next moment, the two of them suddenly appeared inside the courtyard wall.

The two of them walked through the deserted area and gradually approached the location where the fighting sounded.

On the way, when Mei Terumi saw the corpse of a member of the Terumi clan lying on the ground, her eyes widened.

Then she was about to rush out, her eyes red, but was immediately held back by Minato.

Minato took him and finally saw the scene where the fighting sound came from.

Just like yesterday, dozens of black shadow ninjas surrounded the members of the Terumi clan, and around them lay the bodies of more than a dozen members of the Terumi clan and the Kirigakure ANBU ninjas.

When Minato saw this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Why is the Third Mizukage here?" Doubts rose in his heart. The head of the Terumi clan was standing with the Third Mizukage this morning. He must be his right-hand man.

How could he send out the Anbu to massacre Terumi's clan.

In Minato's arms, Mei Terumi, whose eyes were already red, widened slightly when she saw a female corpse among the dozen or so corpses, and then her pupils gradually dilated.

An expression of extreme pain and struggle appeared on her face, which made it impossible for her to remain calm.

Minato was stunned for a moment, and she jumped out of his arms and ran madly towards the female corpse.

A heart-wrenching cry emanated from Mei Terumi's throat.

"Mother!"
