Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 548 Blood Mist of Hegemony

"Alright, since Lord Mizukage has chosen to trust you, I will naturally tell you everything I know. If you want to hear it, I will tell you."

Nanami Hoshigaki nodded, shifting her gaze from Kakashi to the distant sea. "I have a younger brother..."

vigilance.

Kakashi immediately frowned: "You and your brother have a good relationship?"

"?"

"No, I hate him."

Nanami Hoshigaki, who had been interrupted by Kakashi, looked at him with a puzzled expression.

She didn't understand why Kakashi would suddenly ask such a question.

however……

Kakashi became alert again.

"You just said that your Mizukage trusts us, so you've been telling us everything. Now, please tell us the truth."

Kakashi looked intently into the other person's eyes.

"?"

"I'm telling the truth. I despise my brother. Others might be misled by that old man, but my brother is definitely not. He genuinely wants to follow that old man and bring back the Blood Mist!"

Nanami Hoshigaki frowned as well.

She really didn't understand why Kakashi always thought she had a good relationship with her brother. Even though she had told him she hated him, Kakashi still thought she was lying.

"I'm sorry, but the story you told sounds familiar to me. Something similar happened in Konoha before."

Kakashi waved his hand, gave an awkward smile, and apologized.

Unfortunately, before Itachi's affair was exposed, everyone thought Itachi and Sasuke were mortal enemies.

The results of it?

When he led Team 7 to encounter Itachi and Kisame, Kakashi was anxious to protect Sasuke, but Itachi didn't even intend to attack Sasuke. Instead, he used Tsukuyomi on him.

He's like a clown.

The current situation is too similar. Kakashi is really afraid that if things escalate to the point where the woman in front of him is just like Itachi.

"Is that so? That's alright, I understand."

"Continue..."

Nanami Hoshigaki continued to tell the story of the small island where her clan lived.

Since the Third Mizukage, who was controlled by "Uchiha Madara," expanded the influence of the Blood Mist, the bloodline limit families of Kirigakure have been persecuted and regarded as monsters.

The appearance of the dried persimmon clan has fish-like features, so naturally they couldn't escape it.

The discrimination and persecution perpetrated by families with bloodline limits was orchestrated by the Hidden Mist Village government.

The Hoshigaki clan is too small a threat; Kirigakure doesn't even need to guide them. After witnessing the persecution of a bloodline clan, the Hoshigaki clan voluntarily fled Kirigakure.

At that time, only Kisame remained in Kirigakure.

Therefore, Kisame and his family can be said to have absolutely no connection.

There was absolutely no trace of the Hoshigi clan in his memory or in his life.

Then there's her father, the current head of the Hoshigaki clan. After learning of the Fourth Mizukage's death, he has been cultivating his power, hoping to return to Kirigakure and take control.

He even fantasized about having Kisame Hoshigaki help him seize power.

He was furious and jealous when he learned that Mei Terumi had become the Fifth Hokage.

Upon learning that Mei Terumi had begun a transformation that would allow Kirigakure to emerge from the blood mist, he became even more anxious.

"We were forced to leave the village by the Blood Mist policy, yet he not only doesn't hate the Blood Mist, he has even become a loyal supporter of it."

I asked him, and he said, "We were persecuted and driven out because of the Blood Mist, so why should the Blood Mist disappear now that it's our turn to persecute others?"

He has become completely obsessed, and those he has bewitched have also become obsessed.

They all fantasize about seizing power and reclaiming what assets and rights belong to them.

I really didn't know what to do, so I had to ask the Mizukage for help.

Before I went to find the Mizukage, I kept having dreams where I was holding a ninja sword and killing all the lunatics in my clan…”

vigilance!

Kakashi was listening very attentively, but then he realized that somehow the story was turning into the Night of the Clan Massacre.

Although it was just a dream, it's true that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

If the other party can keep dreaming of wiping out her clan, doesn't that mean she has always been thinking about wiping out her clan?

Could it be that they weren't destroyed because they weren't strong enough?

"You wiped out your entire clan, but spared your brother?"

Kakashi asked tentatively.

"?"

"Kakashi, are you the kind of ninja they're talking about who has bonds? Where did you get my brother's picture from? What kind of perverted idea did you have?"

Why did I spare my brother when I exterminated my entire clan? Huh?

Nanami Hoshigaki finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Kakashi is going too far; he's been picking fights for no reason since just now.

"Of course I'm not a bond-type ninja, don't get me wrong..."

Kakashi quickly waved his hand in denial.

"I don't believe it! The Mizukage said that our Hidden Mist Village is full of effeminate men, while your Hidden Leaf Village is full of bond-type ninjas! And you like to bully your own people."

The Fourth Mizukage, Lord Yagura, was controlled by your Konoha's "Uchiha Madara," which caused the Third Hokage's ordinary blood mist to evolve into the Overlord's Blood Mist!

From then on, the villagers of Kirigakure became like the villagers of Konoha.

—Even though she knew that provoking a family with a bloodline limit might get her killed, she still risked her life to bully and drive them away.

Some people have even been injured or killed as a result, which may have fueled their bullying even more intensely!

The Mizukage also said that the Will of Fire of Konoha is the Will of Conqueror.

If you don't bully others because you're afraid of dying, what's the difference between that and being dead?

"Your Konoha is a village built on bullying and bonds!"

Nanami Hoshigaki unleashed a torrent of profanities at Kakashi and Konoha.

There was nothing she could do; she was constantly being attacked by Kakashi.

It's the same as encountering mindless trolls online.

Reasoning with him is useless. Only by attacking him will he shift from looking for loopholes in your words to defending his family.

"..."

Kakashi was speechless.

The key point is that these criticisms are all true, and he really can't refute them.

The will to dominate Konoha is a problem that is even more difficult to solve than the opposition.

The main point is that for people with high moral character, their crimes don't warrant the death penalty, while for people with lower moral character, they are not afraid of death.

As for bond-type ninjas...

With the deeds of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha standing out, Kakashi couldn't very well lie through his teeth.

Konoha is indeed built on bonds.

The name Konoha was supposedly given by Madara Uchiha because the First Hokage used Wood Release, hence the name Konoha.

That's too much.

Kakashi was unable to refute it.

As for the Hokage, it was because Madara Uchiha used Fire Release, which shows the First Hokage's cunning.

The Hokage are clearly distinguished because they built their village in the Land of Fire.

If it must be used to commemorate Uchiha Madara, it should be called eyeshadow.

"Hey, Kakashi, what are you doing arguing with a woman?"

A voice came from the side.

Kakashi, who was looking on with a pained expression, looked over.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance, Zabuza.

"Zabuza? You were also invited here by the Mizukage?"
