Chapter 290: Jūzō Biwa
"Jūzō Biwa, I see that you have made a lot of contributions to Kirigakure. Leave!" In Mizukage's office, Yagura coldly said to Jūzō Biwa.
"You little… Can't you see that so many people oppose you?" Jūzō Biwa clenched his fist and suppressed his anger.
"Don't you understand? I am Mizukage." Menacing aura came out from Yagura's small body as he looked at Jūzō Biwa with cold eyes.
"You..." Jūzō Biwa looked at Yagura in disbelief. He could feel the strong killing intent from Yagura.
Yagura was warning him that Yagura would really strike if Jūzō Biwa dared to order him around again.
"Forget it, one day you will regret it!" Jūzō Biwa walked out of Mizukage's office without looking back.
He was completely disappointed in this crazy village.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had worked hard for Yagura for so long, but in the end, they were discarded like tools.
Jūzō Biwa had given up on Yagura. Today, he would leave and take Kubikiribōchō with him.
But Jūzō Biwa was unaware that someone was watching all this silently in the dark.
"Tsk tsk, Obito, you are really heartless. You actually used this method to force others to become Missing-nin." Zetsu said to Obito, who was manipulating Yagura with a smile.
Akatsuki now had gathered seven members. Aside from Hiruko and Zetsu, each of them was highly skilled in their own right.
For the sake of his grand plan, Obito would not just recruit some random people just to make sure he had ten members.
In addition, the current Fourth Mizukage was under his control, so Obito focused his attention to Kirigakure.
He'd make sure to do everything in his power to make Kirigakure suffer.
Hadn't it been for them, Rin would not have died.
Obito implemented extreme policies to pressure the well-known Clan and win over the other higher-ups. On top of that, he investigated the Kirigakure's promising Shinobi and figured out a way to make them join Akatsuki.
"It's all for the sake of the plan. Isn't this what you want as well?" Obito glanced at Zetsu indifferently.
'Why do you think you're so high and mighty? Do you think I don't know that you are one of Madara's backup plans?'
"Hehe." Zetsu just laughed it off and then added, "You should get what Hiruko asked ready. I've got the information about the Shinobi who had Dark Release and Storm Release."
"No need to be in such a hurry. If we give him what he wants too fast, it will just make us seem desperately need his Secret Technique?" Obito shook his head.
Hiruko had already joined Akatsuki, so the Chimera Technique wasn't going anywhere. He also deliberately made Hiruko wait to make sure that Hiruko didn't think that they desperately needed his Chimera Technique.
In the meantime, he could look up the information he obtained from the ruins and see if he could unravel even more ancient secrets.
You should send a clone to keep an eye on Jūzō Biwa. That guy will probably betray the village soon.
"Once he does, just let him wander around for a while before Nagato recruit him." Obito ordered.
Zetsu nodded and then submerged into the ground.
...
After leaving Mizukage building, Jūzō Biwa returned home and searched for the money he had saved up.
After that, Jūzō Biwa wanted to write a note for Raiga Kurosuki, who might come looking for him. However, halfway through, Jūzō Biwa tore it apart and left, carrying Kubikiribōchō with him.
He laughed as he walked, causing the people around him to steer clear. They were all afraid that this man with the unusual sword would kill them out of a whim.
When he reached Kirigakure's main gate, two Chunin that were guarding the door stopped Jūzō Biwa and said,
"Lord Jūzō, as per Lord Mizukage's order, you have to show us the permit to leave the village if you want to leave the village."
Jūzō Biwa laughed loudly and waved the huge Kubikiribōchō, sending the two Chunin flying with the blunt side.
"A permit? Who do you think I am? I am Jūzō Biwa. As if I care about that bastard's rules!"
There were two Chunin at the door. When they saw this situation, they couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know what to do for a moment.
He was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He didn't want to be bothered by such bullshit.
However, when he thought about how Shinobi had been punished for making a mistake recently, one of Kirigakure Shinobi braced himself and walked up to him,
"Lord Jūzō, this is an exceptional time. Even if you are one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, you still have to show your permit."
However, Jūzō Biwa did not even look at this Kirigakure Shinobi as he strode forward.
"Lord..." When the other Kirigakure Shinobi saw this, he wanted to run in front of Jūzō Biwa and stop him, but he was sent flying by Jūzō Biwa's blade.
This time, the last remaining Shinobi did not dare to move because a terrifying idea crossed his mind; Jūzō Biwa was about to defect.
In fact, in the past few days, Kirigakure's defection rate was considered the highest since Kirigakure's founding.
However, the Kirigakure Shinobi that guards the gate did not expect that even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would also defect.
'Maybe Lord Jūzō is just in a bad mood today.' The Kirigakure Shinobi tried to reassure himself.
But he actually did not think that was the reason at all.
No matter how upset he was, he wouldn't send everyone asking him for his permit flying.
If he truly believed that Jūzō was just in a bad mood, he would have stopped him long ago.
However, he did not dare to do so, because a Missing-nin wouldn't care about the Shinobi of their former village.
"Phew, the air is much fresher after leaving that crazy village." Jūzō Biwa sighed once he walked out of Kirigakure.
He now felt at ease.
Up until an hour ago, he had to worry about that brutal and unreasonable policy, and he would think of a way to advise the Fourth Mizukage.
He would worry about the development of Kirigakure and what other trouble the Fourth Mizukage would cause.
Now that he had defected, it was none of his business anymore.
He wouldn't be able to see whatever heinous things the Fourth Mizukage anyway.
"I have to leave Land of Water first. I'm sick of this place."
Jūzō Biwa was not stupid. He had already defected. Sticking around in Land of Water was like asking to be caught?
However, Jūzō Biwa had not decided where to go yet. He left on the spur of the moment, so he hadn't decided where to go after this.
While walking towards the port, Jūzō Biwa was thinking about which country he should go to.
The scenery of Land of Fire was good, but Land of Fire was too strong. It was a bit dangerous to go there.
It was better to go to a small country. He heard that Amegakure's environment was a bit similar to Land of Water, so he would rather not go there.
Yugakure seemed to have a good scenery, and there was no Hidden Village there, so he went there.
