Chapter 149 What Is the Role of the Village?
Mei Terumi was not too surprised to hear the three questions raised by Mangetsu Hozuki. After all, she had a deep understanding of the situation in Kirigakure in the past two years.
Except for the first one that Mei Terumi did not remember, the next two were all within Mei Terumi's expectations.
And the first one was also ignored by Mei Terumi, especially since Mei Terumi had been developing in Kirigakure, resulting in no major actions in Kirigakure, so Mei Terumi ignored this point.
"Don't worry about Zabuza, leave the rest to me, I will take care of it."
Seeing that Mangetsu Hozuki was still a little confused about Zabuza, Mei Terumi smiled, walked to the table, and looked at Mangetsu Hozuki.
"Zabuza was my target from the beginning, but I didn't do it because of the master's obstruction, saying that he had other uses, otherwise Zabuza would have died long ago."
Hearing Mei Terumi's words, Mangetsu Hozuki said that he understood, but he was still worried.
So Mangetsu Hozuki told Zabuza's performance on the battlefield in detail.
When Mei Terumi heard Mangetsu's description of Zabuza, she was also surprised.
You know, judging from Mangetsu's description, Zabuza may have the combat power of the tailed beast level, and Mei Terumi did not expect Zabuza's strength to be so high.
"It seems that I have always underestimated Zabuza, but this is right, otherwise Zabuza would not dare to come back."
Seeing that the Mizukage finally valued Zabuza, Mangetsu's heart was relieved.
"Then when are you going to fight against Zabuza and his opponents?"
Mei Terumi, who was thinking, heard Mangetsu's question, glanced at Mangetsu, and replied curiously.
"What's wrong? Do you want to participate in this too?"
"If the Mizukage is willing, of course I can, even if I am seriously injured, for the sake of the Hidden Mist Village, I will do my duty."
After that, Mangetsu knelt on one knee in front of Mei Terumi and said to Mei Terumi righteously.
Hearing Mangetsu's words, Terumi Mei did not raise her head, turned around and sat back in her chair, looked at the information in her hand, and said lightly.
"The victory of this war is your credit. Tell me, what do you want?"
Terumi Mei felt that she had a clear grasp of what Mangetsu Mangetsu was thinking, and the other party was just here to take credit.
As for Zabuza, Terumi Mei ignored him directly.
"Lord Mizukage, after this operation to get rid of Zabuza, I want Zabuza's special assassination operation team, and I beg Lord Mizukage to spare their lives."
Hearing Mangetsu's words, Terumi Mei raised her head instantly, and looked straight at Mangetsu Mangetsu, as if she wanted to see through Mangetsu Mangetsu.
And Mangetsu Mangetsu also lowered her head with a nervous look, staring at the ground under her, as if she had seen some peerless beauty, and her body did not move.
In this way, the two people were deadlocked for a while, and finally Terumi Mei exhaled, looked at Mangetsu Mangetsu with complicated eyes, and said to Mangetsu Mangetsu.
"Change the condition. Zabuza's assassination team must also be eliminated. No future troubles can be left."
"Man Yue wants nothing except the assassination team. I wonder what Mizukage-sama can give me?"
However, Mei Terumi's words obviously did not persuade Man Yue Hozuki. Although she showed a panic expression on her face, Man Yue Hozuki continued to ask.
"From today on, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be officially led by Man Yue Hozuki. Man Yue Hozuki hopes you won't let me down."
Man Yue Hozuki was stunned, thought about it, and then reacted and answered Mei Terumi.
"Thank you for the kindness of Mizukage-sama. I will definitely not let you down."
"Okay, you go down."
After hearing what Mei Terumi said, Man Yue Hozuki didn't say anything, but stood up and left the office quickly.
Just after Man Yue Hozuki left the office, Man Yue Hozuki's eyes instantly turned cold again, as if what happened just now was not what he said.
In fact, those words were not said by him, but because the patriarch of the Hozuki clan asked Hozuki Manyue to say so, so Hozuki Manyue also narrated Hozuki Manyue's words in front of Mei Terumi.
After Hozuki Manyue became the leader of the army, Hozuki Manyue wanted to control more power, but now the power of Kirigakure Village has been controlled by Mei Terumi.
This also led to Hozuki Manyue's hopes being shattered again and again, but because of Zabuza's incident, he once again saw hope. Hozuki Manyue wanted the assassination force under Zabuza.
Although it is not clear what this force is like, it is said that even Mizukage Mei Terumi wants it, so it can be imagined that this assassination force should not be underestimated.
Hozuki Manyue wants to take advantage of the victory of this war to get this assassination force.
At that time, once the Hozuki clan has the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the assassination force, even if it is not the Mizukage, it will have extremely high power in Kirigakure.
In this way, Hozuki Manyue began his fantasy.
But the reality is cruel. First of all, Mangetsu Kizuki did not agree to this method at the beginning. For Mangetsu Kizuki, the Hidden Mist Village should be managed by Mizukage Mei Terumi.
Secondly, Mangetsu Kizuki knew very well that even if he did this, the Mizukage would not give him the assassination team.
However, under the strong request of Satsuki Kizuki, Mangetsu Kizuki finally agreed to Satsuki Kizuki Kizuki, but Mangetsu Kizuki also said that he could not guarantee the result.
Hozuki Satsuki, who was completely immersed in his own fantasy, waved his hand without any concern. In his opinion, with the strength of the Hozuki clan and the achievements of Hozuki Mangetsu this time, what could Terumi Mei use to refuse them.
Inside the room.
Terumi Mei looked at Hozuki Mangetsu who walked out, and the serious expression on her face suddenly turned into a smile.
"It seems that Hozuki Mangetsu still has some respect for me, the Mizukage."
After saying this, Terumi Mei picked up the report on the table and read it.
If Hozuki Mangetsu saw the report in Terumi Mei's hand, she would find that the report was all the information of the Hozuki clan.
Outside the room.
Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the closed door and shook his head.
The coercion of the family and the loyalty to the Mizukage made him choose this seemingly best of both worlds method, but in fact it offended both parties.
Tell the words of the clan leader to the Mizukage, but let the Mizukage take away the assassination team.
In this way, the family's mission was completed by himself, and there was no harm to the Mizukage.
However, in this way, he would offend the family, and once the Mizukage knew about it, he would also distrust him.
After repeated consideration, Mangetsu Kizuki chose this situation. Although he offended both parties, because of his high strength and high status, the Mangetsu clan could not ignore him.
And because of his strength and the identity of the Mangetsu clan, the Mizukage could not ignore him.
This was Mangetsu Kizuki's plan.
However, this incident obviously made Mangetsu Kizuki think of something else.
Walking on the stairs, Mangetsu Kizuki thought about the open and secret struggles between the family and the village, which made Mangetsu Kizuki think.
"What is the role of the village?"
