The Land of Water, outside Kirigakure.
"Is that Kirigakure ahead?"
Standing on a hillside as Vergo and the other three were looking ahead, Crocodile asked lightly.
The village in front was surrounded by a large river and surrounded by large and small lakes, making Crocodile uncomfortable.
"That's right, Kirigakure is ahead, I'll go in first and convince everyone.
Ao nodded and then planned to jump off the hillside.
"Let's go with you, as you are now, I hold nothing against you, but if there is nothing you can do, then..." Vergo said causing Ao's body to tremble.
Nodding his head, Ao didn't want to refuse, and he quickly appeared at the entrance of the village rushing all the way.
"Captain Ao, where have you been?"
"Elder Hozuki Yamigetsu! You are back too!"
When they just arrived at the entrance of the village, the two ninjas who were in charge of guarding the entrance of the village immediately greeted them. When they saw Hozuki Yamigetsu appear, the two of them were surprised and one of them asked excitedly.
Because Ao was wearing a cloak, the two ninjas did not see that Ao had lost both arms.
"Yes, Elder Hozuki Yamigetsu, you are back. Have the rebels in Kadan Island been wiped out?"
"By the way, who are these two? What about the others who went with you on the mission?" The other guard also asked with the same excitement and compliance. They glanced back and found that there was no one else except Crocodile and Vergo.
"The other people are dead, these two are the bodyguards of the Lord of Kadan Island.
Hozuki Yamigetsu said lightly, and walked in with the three of them.
"What? All dead? These two are guards of the Lord of Kadan?" The two Kirigakure ninja guards looked at the four who entered the village and looked at each other in disbelief.
"I didn't expect that Elder Hozuki Yamigetsu also liked to joke. It seems that he attacked Kadan Island and found something good." Regarding the words of Hozuki Yamigetsu, the two of them didn't believe it at all. Instead, they thought that he was joking, so they didn't think much about it.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!"
Yamigetsu passed the square not far from the village entrance and a rang a bell.
This is the assembly bell, which usually only rings when Mizukage-sama summons the whole village.
The bell rang, and everyone in the village put down what they were doing and gathered at the entrance of the village with doubts.
The ninja guards at the entrance of the two villages heard the bell ringing, and they also confirmed their guesses even more.
"What? Uncle Yamigetsu, you are back, is the Kadan Island mission successful?" Seeing the figure of Hozuki Yamigetsu, Hozuki Zangetsu immediately asked with a look of joy.
"Zangetsu, don't talk."
Hozuki Zangetsu's voice just fell and was suddenly stopped by a person beside him.
"It turned out to be the ones who killed each other back then." Crocodile raised his head and looked at the man, and found that the one who stopped the voice was the Hozuki Mangetsu, one of the Seven Swordsmen Of Kirigakure, who attacked the lord's mansion.
"You! Ao, what's going on? Why did people from Kadan Island appear here!"
Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed, pointing at Crocodile and he suddenly asked Ao.
"People from Kadan Island?!"
Hearing Hozuki Mangetsu's words, the faces of the ninjas below suddenly changed, and they subconsciously dispersed around.
At the entrance of the village, the two guards who had originally intended to listen to Mizukage coming out to announce the good news were shocked when they heard Hozuki Mangetsu's question, and looked at each other in disbelief.
"I brought them here." Hozuki Yamigetsu looked at Hozuki Mangetsu calmly.
"Yamigetsu! What happened to you Ao? Did you betray Kirigakure too? I want to see Mizukage-sama."
Hozuki Mangetsu was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked with annoyance and for a while the entire square was in chaos.
"Mangetsu, calm down first, everyone listen to me." Seeing that the Hozuki Mangetsu demanding to meet the Mizukage, Ao hurriedly stopped him.
"Mizukage-sama is dead." Seeing the scene quiet down, Ao took a deep breath and said sadly.
"Buzz!"
Hearing Ao's words, all the ninja villagers in the audience were in an uproar, and countless people looked at Ao in horror.
"What?! Did you collude with Kadan Island?"
Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes widened and she stared at Ao blankly. He didn't doubt Ao's words, he knew Ao's personality and even if Ao betrayed them, he wouldn't lie to them.
"I have done no such thing."
Ao sighed, his face a little dejected.
"Yesterday, Lord Mizukage asked me to inform the three patriarchs of the Hozuki clan, the Yuki clan, and the Kaguya clan to go to the port to perform a mission, but the three patriarchs failed their mission. It turns out that someone pretending to be Mizukage-sama has been running the village for a long time."
Ao sighed, and a sad tone filled the entire village square.
"But, then you can't collude with Kadan Island, they killed so many of us."
Everyone in the audience was full of grief. Mizukage had not been seen for such a long time. It must have been as Ao said. Hozuki Mangetsu continued to question.
"Master Mizukage died and the three patriarchs died. To put it bluntly, there are only a few Jōnin left in the village. Do you think that after this news spreads, do we still have a way to survive and protect Kirigakure?"
Ao said with a sad expression, the village quickly became quiet and they all understood the threat of neighboring countries to the Land of Water and Kirigakure.
"So, I decided to bring Kirigakure to surrender to Kadan."
After straightening his face, Ao stood up straight and said with a serious face. His voice was loud and without too much emotion. The news was so shocking that everyone felt a little confused.
"Damn it, you really are a traitor!"
Hearing Ao's words, Hozuki Mangetsu, whose face had just softened, screamed again.
"Our Hozuki Clan's patriarch died, I, as the highest elder of Hozuki Clan, declare the Hozuki clan surrenders to His Highness Shimizu Akihiro of Kadan Island and those who disobey will be expelled from the clan."
As soon as Hozuki Mangetsu's voice fell, Hozuki Yamigetsu's voice sounded immediately.
