"The Fourth Mizukage himself is an extremely terrifying monster."
The shadow of a village is the strongest person in the village.
Hidden Mist village is also well-known in the ninja world, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Don't be fooled by the Fourth Mizukage's appearance of a child, he's actually a middle-aged uncle.
Hearing Zabuza's words, Ryosuke asked in confusion, "Who told you I was going to kill the Fourth Mizukage? As long as the genjutsu cast on him is lifted, that's enough."
He and the Fourth Mizukage don't have any grudges. As long as he can extract the tailed beast and seal it into the treasure bottle, that's enough.
As for whether Fourth Mizukage lives or dies in the end, it's not his concern.
Zabuza's face drastically changed, his eyes widened. "What did you say? The Fourth Mizukage is under a genjutsu? Who can cast genjutsu on that kind of monster?"
"He has the Three-Tails sealed inside him, and is even a perfect jinchuriki. Genjutsu can't be maintained if there's an external force breaking it."
He truly couldn't believe such a thing. But this matter also seemed to be true, otherwise, it couldn't explain why the Fourth Mizukage had become so brutal, ignoring the deaths of the village's ninjas.
But Ryosuke calmly replied, "What you said is right. With the tailed beast's power helping, it's not easy to fall into genjutsu. But does that mean it's impossible to control a perfect jinchuriki?"
"As long as you cast genjutsu on both the tailed beast and the person, and control them together, wouldn't that work?"
He remembered in the original plot, Obito had gone to Hidden Mist village to subdue the Fourth Mizukage.
Hearing this, Zabuza was inwardly shaken.
Although this analysis made sense, if you controlled both the person and the tailed beast, then even a so-called perfect jinchuriki could be controlled by genjutsu, but is that something humans can really do?
Just how powerful must the genjutsu be? Are there really such experts in the ninja world?
It was just too hard to believe. But the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
Back when he was little, the Fourth Mizukage rose to power. At that time, he was quite gentle and didn't enforce this kind of cruel, life-disregarding tyranny.
Now, not only did he make the ninja school students go through cruel battles, he even made them kill each other, in order to cultivate powerful ninjas.
He even persecuted those with kekkei genkai. The Hozuki clan, descendants of the Second Mizukage, were also persecuted by the Fourth Mizukage. Otherwise, the Hozuki clan wouldn't have contacted him to join in the rebellion.
It really seemed possible that he was under genjutsu. Anger rose in his heart.
"Since you know he's under genjutsu, then you must know who did it. I'm going to tear them to pieces."
Ryosuke smiled and said, "That's interesting. A person capable of controlling both the tailed beast and the Fourth Mizukage, can you really kill them?"
Zabuza naturally knew what Ryosuke said was the truth. A person who could control both the Fourth Mizukage and the tailed beast, what power did he have to deal with such a person?
After calming down for a moment, he realized now wasn't the time to think about revenge, they had to solve the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage first.
He asked with a bit of anticipation, "So, do you have a way to remove the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage?"
As long as the genjutsu was lifted, then the country's problems would naturally be solved.
Hearing Zabuza's words, Ryosuke firmly said, "Of course I can."
His eye power wasn't low, and he was even proficient in his clan's genjutsu techniques, so of course he could dispel Obito's genjutsu.
Zabuza got a bit excited. "Then let's head out immediately. Maybe we can even tell the people in the village, so they won't stop us."
But Ryosuke directly interrupted, "That might not work. You're a missing-nin now, and who would believe the Fourth Mizukage is under genjutsu?"
"This time, my goal is to take the Three-Tails from inside the Fourth Mizukage. That is also the goal of our Illuminati. You won't stop me, right?"
It seemed Zabuza still cared about the village. Ryosuke wasn't sure whether Zabuza would give up or even become hostile once he learned the true goal.
Hearing Ryosuke's words, Zabuza was a little stunned. At first, even he hadn't believed the Fourth Mizukage was under genjutsu, so the villagers might not believe it either.
He might be killed if he returned. He hadn't expected the Illuminati's purpose to be collecting tailed beasts. He couldn't help but ask, "Our organization is for peace in the ninja world, what does that have to do with collecting tailed beasts? Aren't tailed beasts just weapons of war?"
Ryosuke slowly said, "You don't need to worry about that."
Zabuza thought to himself, 'The priority now was lifting the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage. Being under genjutsu had already caused many disasters for Hidden Mist village. It can't go on.'
And the man in front of him wasn't easy to mess with.
"I naturally won't stop you. Besides, I know a secret passage leading to the Fourth Mizukage's office. But there's a rebellion going on in the village now, the whole village may be under lockdown, and it won't be easy to sneak in."
Hearing this, Ryosuke was inwardly pleased. So there was such a thing, if careful enough, he could still make it through.
He could meet the Fourth Mizukage directly, knock him out, and take him away, problem solved.
He had sealing knowledge, and the treasure bottle. But transferring the tailed beast from the Fourth Mizukage to the bottle would take time, and he didn't want mass killing in the village.
"Tell me the route. I'll go alone."
Hearing Ryosuke's words, Zabuza couldn't help but ask in shock, "Are you sure you want to go alone? You'll be facing the Fourth Mizukage. You might even face a concentrated attack from all the village's ninjas."
Ryosuke was, of course, sure.
Zabuza could only agree. This guy wouldn't joke with his own life. He said seriously, "Then after you lift the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage and save this country, I will serve you with all my heart."
Ryosuke could tell, this Zabuza guy was truly loyal to Hidden Mist village. If he succeeded in getting the Three-Tails, he'd also gain a very loyal subordinate.
He was very satisfied inside.
"Then let's head out."
