Chapter 313 Miscalculation

Mizukage Building.

In the room where the Mizukage and the village's jonin discussed major issues and arranged secret missions, there was a barrier, and its patterns covered the walls of the room like a spider web.

There were more than a dozen ninjas tied up there, several of whom were the Jonins from the Hozuki clan who had entered the Mizukage building earlier.

At this time, the door of the room was open, and there were several Anbu wearing strange masks guarding it.

In the corridor outside, several figures walked together. The Third Mizukage was in the front. When he arrived, those Anbu leaned over directly.

"What is the situation?" asked the Third Mizukage indifferently.

"Your Excellency Mizukage, they still refuse to surrender," one of the Anbu said very respectfully.

The Third Mizukage's expression didn't change much when he heard this. He waved his hand for them to stand up and walked to the door.

When more than a dozen ninjas saw this, their eyes were as fierce as fire.

"The chiefs of both of your clan have been controlled by me. Let me ask you again, from now on, will you obey my order, the Third Mizukage?" said the Third Mizukage.

"It is true."

One of the ninjas from the Hozuki clan heard this, murmured something, then raised his eyes and said with a firm look.

"We are born into the same clan, so we must obey the clan leader. Even if you are the Mizukage, we still won't obey you!"

"oh?"

The Third Mizukage hummed softly and glanced at the rest of the people. Their expressions were exactly the same as that man.

"very good."

He then chuckled, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Then send them down to reunite with their family."

Having said that, he suddenly turned around.

Just as he was about to return to the Mizukage's office, an Anbu, still wearing his previous night clothes, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Is everything resolved?" the Third Mizukage asked calmly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Yes." The ANBU answered, but his tone paused again, and said: "But just now, the Terumi clan suddenly arrived when we were about to leave."

"Didn't we tell them not to act without permission tonight? What's going on?" The Third Mizukage frowned.

"Yes, but the daughter of the clan leader of the Terumi clan, Mei Terumi, is a playmate of the clan leader's son. And when we took action tonight, the daughter of the clan leader of the Terumi clan, Mei Terumi, was also present," the Anbu continued to report.

"They disobeyed orders and their daughter died, they deserve it!" The Mizukage snorted coldly, not caring at all about how the Terumi clan would react.

As soon as he finished speaking, the look in the Anbu's eyes froze for a moment.

This naturally could not be hidden from the Mizukage, who immediately asked, "Did something unexpected happen?"

The ANBU nodded and said in a trembling voice: "Mei Terumi was not killed by us. Instead, the Anbu who tried to kill her was stabbed in the throat and died."

"What!?"

The Third Mizukage's face suddenly turned stern. The people from Terumi's clan came to look for Terumi Mei, which meant that the person who rescued her was not from Terumi's clan.

With all the arrangements he had made, there should be no one else in the Hidden Mist Village who could save her.

"Could it be!?"

After pondering for a while, the Third Mizukage's heart suddenly trembled, and then asked the Anbu: "So what information did you find?"

"Except for the corroded ground, there seems to be no signs of a fight. The opponent's attacks were very swift and ruthless. He must be a master!" said the Anbu.

"Is it really him?" the Third Mizukage thought to himself.

"Okay, I got it." He waved his hand, and the Anbu disappeared in front of him.

After the Anbu left, they returned to their seats. The Third Mizukage did not get angry but laughed instead, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Haha, Uchiha Madara, you also make mistakes sometimes."

Beneath the darkness, the ground was wriggling, as if ripples were appearing.

A huge field of grass protruded from the ground and slowly spread out, revealing a white human figure.

"Is that boy dead?" In the darkness, the old man's voice was as faint as the twilight.

But when talking about a person's life and death, he spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he were the god of death who held the power of life and death.

"No." said the white figure.

Unexpectedly, in the darkness, the old man suddenly opened his only remaining eye, and in the scarlet glow, three black magatama spun at high speed.

"What!?"

He was no longer as calm as before, and his voice was trembling.

"Namikaze Minato never sneaked into the Mizukage Building. I just searched the area around the Mizukage Building but couldn't find his figure." The white figure added again.

"Didn't show up?"

The old man was unable to communicate for the time being. Based on his current understanding of Namikaze Minato's character, he would definitely sneak into the Mizukage Building in an attempt to obtain some information.

 If the Third Mizukage makes a big move, the defense of the Mizukage Building has become weak, which should be a perfect opportunity to sneak in.

If it were an ordinary spy, he would be frightened by this and would not dare to act rashly.

But given Namikaze Minato's style of doing things, the more times like this, the more likely he is to take action.

He was 90% sure that this plan would succeed, but he didn't expect that Namikaze Minato would not take any action.

Is he afraid ?

In fact, his judgment was not wrong. If it were based on Minato's personality, he would definitely sneak into the Mizukage Building.

But that was based on the fact that Minato didn't know the subsequent history of the ninja world.

After learning about the history of the Bloody Mist Village in the Hidden Mist Village, Minato had already guessed the purpose of the third Mizukage's actions tonight. For him, observing from the sidelines was more beneficial than taking the risk of sneaking into the Mizukage's building to obtain intelligence.

Although he was a shrewd and calculating person, he never expected that his opponent knew the history of the ninja world for more than ten years after today.

It was the first time for the white figure to see the old man like this, and his plan had failed.

"Could it be that Namikaze Minato has already noticed you?" The old man was puzzled and then raised his eyes to look at the white figure in front of him.

"I don't know about that." The white figure seemed to have no human emotions, so he was unmoved by the old man's somewhat frightening tone.

"That's unlikely."

However, the old man was a legendary figure in the ninja world after all, and he calmed down immediately. Even if Namikaze Minato was very sensitive, he would not be able to discover the White Zetsu hiding in the dark.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the darkness.

"Haha, it seems that you are a little upset now." The Third Mizukage walked up to the old man with a smile on his face.

"Are you here to mock me?"

The old man's eyes sank, and there was a frightening gleam in his scarlet pupils, as sharp as a sword and dazzling.

"How could I have the courage?" His expression made the Third Mizukage's heart shrink slightly.

"I came to tell you a piece of news," he continued.

"What news?"

The old man's eyes were still sharp. In his view, the person in front of him was just a chess piece. As long as he was not satisfied, he could replace the chess piece with another one.

"The boy named Namikaze Minato you wanted to get rid of seems to have rescued the daughter of the head of the Terumi clan, Mei Terumi."
