Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Uchiha Shisui feels lost!
"Masui, sit."
Third Mizukage looked at Kaguya Masui, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The Kaguya Clan, in the eyes of the Third Mizukage, seemed to be quite problematic.
He is irritable, arrogant, and extremely self-centered...
However, among the many members of the Kaguya Clan, there are also a few who are good.
Kaguya Masui is one of them.
The Third Mizukage can see that Kaguya Masui's caliber is different from that of other Kaguya members.
His vision is not limited to the Clan, but extends to the entire village.
If anyone could change the Kaguya Clan's future, the Third Mizukage thinks it's only Kaguya Masui.
"Mizukage-sama."
Kaguya Masui sits down, looking at the Third Mizukage, hesitating.
"What do you want to say, Masui, just say it."
"Mizukage-sama, how should we balance between the family and the village?"
Kaguya Masui looks troubled.
"I can feel that there seems to be an increasing estrangement between the Kaguya Clan and the village. How can we bring the Kaguya Clan and the village closer together again?"
The Third Mizukage sighed.
"This issue is indeed a problem."
"It's a problem that has been forming for a long time and won't be resolved in a short while."
"But, Masui, I believe this issue can be resolved."
"It's just that we need more people like you, Masui."
"Currently, the situation within the Kaguya Clan is complicated, and outsiders getting involved will only lead to resentment."
"Therefore, the only one who can change this situation is you, Masui."
"Masui, you can communicate more with other members within the Kaguya Clan and change their mindset."
"But don't clash with the stubborn ones."
"Gradually, you will influence some people."
"In the future, you may even become one of the Elders of the Kaguya Clan, or even the future Clan Head."
"I will support you."
"Masui, you will be in charge of the internal affairs of the Kaguya Clan."
"I will control the affairs outside the Kaguya Clan."
The attitude of the Third Mizukage made Kaguya Masui relax a lot.
"Alright, Mizukage-sama, I will do as you say."
The Third Mizukage patted Kaguya Masui's shoulder.
"Masui, don't worry too much, all problems will be solved."
At this moment, on the battlefield in the Land of Fire.
A small figure raised his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Shisui, what's wrong?"
A companion asked.
Uchiha Shisui shook his head.
Just now, Uchiha Shisui suddenly felt like he had lost something.
...
Not long after Kaguya Masui left.
A figure swiftly entered the Mizukage's Building.
"Mizukage-sama."
"What is it?"
The Third Mizukage looked at the ANBU Ninja in front of him.
"Ao-sama has awakened."
"Awake? How is the situation?"
"The surgery went smoothly. There shouldn't be any problems. The Byakugan has also integrated well."
Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage felt even more delighted.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Where is Ao now?"
"He's still on Forging Island."
"I'll go over there now."
The Third Mizukage flashed his figure, disappearing. When he reappeared, he had already left the Mizukage's Building. Instead of taking the usual route, he walked directly on the water, taking the shortest route to arrive at Forging Island.
"Mizukage-sama!"
Uehara Soma, Biwa Juzo, Arafuni, all looked over.
"Juzo, Soma."
"Mizukage-sama, Ao-senpai is still unable to move. He's currently resting in bed, but his spirits are good."
"Take me to him."
"Yes, Mizukage-sama."
Uehara Soma led the way ahead.
Arriving at the door of the operating room, which had been converted from a vacant forge, no, this was no longer an operating room. It was now Ao's recuperation ward. He reached out and knocked on the door.
"Ao-senpai, Mizukage-sama is here to see you."
"Please let Mizukage-sama in."
Ao struggled to get up, but with a futile effort, he couldn't rise.
The Third Mizukage hurried forward.
"Don't move, don't worsen your injuries."
"Mizukage-sama, thank you."
Ao looked at the Third Mizukage, genuine gratitude shining in his eyes.
He was well aware of his injuries.
To save him was not an easy task.
The ones who truly treated him were Mayuko Ringo and Uehara Soma.
But it was the Third Mizukage who allocated resources.
And, Ao had thought the Byakugan was no longer within him.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Soma and Mayuko."
The Third Mizukage paused for a moment.
"Ao, how's your usage of the Byakugan?"
"Mizukage-sama, it's quite smooth."
Ao continued, "It's better than I imagined, with fewer side effects. And I can freely control the activation of the Byakugan, perhaps slightly inferior to the Hyuga main family."
"That's very good."
The Third Mizukage smiled.
"Take good care of yourself. In the future, our Hidden Mist Village will have its own Byakugan."
"In the battles to come, we won't continue to suffer such losses at the hands of Konoha in this regard."
The Third Mizukage sighed.
"Because of the issue with the Byakugan, countless ninja from our Hidden Mist Village, despite having stronger abilities, have been killed in ambushes by Konoha ninja."
"Mizukage-sama, I also thought the same way, so I spared no effort to bring back this Byakugan at any cost."
Ao said with some emotion.
"Fortunately, it was successful."
"It wasn't in vain for everyone's sacrifices."
For this plan, Ao had made arrangements for a long time.
The counterattack from Konoha was somewhat beyond Ao's expectations.
Therefore, in order to protect this Byakugan, Hidden Mist Village sacrificed many ninjas.
Some of these people were Ao's trusted companions.
Others were loyal subordinates.
"I won't let their sacrifices be in vain. Once I recover, I will make good use of this Byakugan and strive to gain an advantage on the battlefield, showing Konoha Ninja what we're made of."
"Good."
A figure quickly approached.
"Mizukage-sama."
"What is it?"
The Third Mizukage looked at the appearing ANBU Ninja.
The ANBU Ninja stepped forward, lowering their voice.
"What is it?"
The next moment, the Third Mizukage disappeared instantly.
A young man was brought to the edge of Forging Island by the ANBU Ninja.
The Third Mizukage looked at the young man, furrowing his brow.
"Kaguya Neko, what happened exactly?"
Kaguya Neko bowed his head and quickly explained.
...
In the recuperation room.
Ao looked towards Uehara Soma.
"Soma, thank you."
"Ao-senpai, don't mention it."
"Oh, by the way, Soma, did you do something to my right eye?"
After much hesitation, Ao finally asked the question.
Biwa Juzo couldn't help but look over.
Uehara Soma nodded.
"Yes."
"When we were performing surgery on you earlier, Ao-senpai, I felt that your right eye didn't quite match the Byakugan. Some parts seemed to be obstructed."
"This is somewhat similar to the issue I encountered during forging."
"So, I tried to make some changes to the right eye part of Ao-senpai following the principles of forging ninja tools. After confirming that it had a positive effect, I continued with the procedure."
Ao's expression turned surprised.
