Now...
It's practically defunct in name only.
"Whether it works or not isn't up to you to decide," the man sneered, clearly something was amiss.
The leader of the Grass Village suddenly changed his expression upon seeing this, realizing something was wrong. He had been on guard day and night, but it was hard to guard against a traitor within his own ranks. The traitor had colluded with Wuwei, or rather, was one of Wuwei's people.
Just then, the conference room door was kicked open, seemingly smashed by someone.
Then, Wuwei led a group of people in.
Those people are all people of humble origins.
There were at least a dozen people.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Grass Village was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected someone to sneak back. It seemed that someone was secretly plotting against him. He knew that some people in the village were still up to no good!
"Wuwei, how dare you come back without my orders!"
We must now unite with the village's Jonin to deal with Wuwei.
Although it's said that someone colluded with Wuwei, within the village...
Most people are still on my side.
The leader of Kusagakure was very firm on this point.
He believed that most people knew when to advance and when to retreat, and knew how to make choices. They couldn't possibly choose a madman like Wuwei, because that would be abnormal.
"The capable rise to the top, it has always been so since ancient times. I, Wuwei, am stronger than you, so naturally I can be the leader of Kusagakure." Wuwei didn't care about anything else and looked at the leader of Kusagakure with an arrogant expression.
He held this person in utter contempt, considering him a complete waste of space.
It was simply the choice of the previous leader.
Anyone who chooses me...
Why has Kusagakure Village come to this?
In the Third Shinobi World War, we could have gotten a share of the spoils instead of becoming food for others or being used as a battlefield. This is all due to your incompetence.
To put it bluntly, it's because you're too useless; otherwise, Kusagakure wouldn't be so pathetic.
"Do you dare to rebel?"
The leader of Kusagakure was terrified, but he suppressed his anger and said sternly.
Upon hearing this, Wuwei spread his arms wide and said arrogantly, "It's not me who's rebelling now, it's you who's rebelling. Look at how many people you have around you. Everyone supports me. Kusagakure doesn't need a cowardly leader, but rather a war advocate like me, Wuwei."
What are you talking about?
It's not me who's rebelling now, it's you.
Furthermore, can't you see who you support?
"You..." Sure enough, the leader of the Grass Village realized that he no longer had much support from the higher-ups, as most of them had chosen the side of Wuwei.
why?
I don't know!
As for him, he certainly didn't understand everyone's choice. "I am the leader of Kusagakure, so why are you supporting Wuwei instead?"
Besides, don't you all dislike him too?
A Jonin spoke up, "Leader, times have changed. Our Kusagakure needs a way out, but you're still clinging to some unrealistic ideas. How can we support you?"
The coup d'état in Konoha a year ago undoubtedly made all the villages understand one thing: rebellion is never the problem, because failure is the problem, while success is not a problem.
Isn't it just a coup?
What's the big deal? If you succeed, you'll eat meat; if you fail, you'll die. That's all there is to it. So compared to the benefits of success, what does failure matter?
They might even be able to run away, so if the opportunity arises, it's worth a try.
A sudden coup occurs within the village of Kusagakure.
The current leader, with only seven or eight trusted confidants, is facing off against the dozen or so men brought by Wuwei and the ten high-ranking officials who have defected. The current leader has a clear advantage.
Non-action completely prevails.
But this is a minor issue, because Kusagakure is about to welcome guests.
Bai Mu has arrived, with Eileen and Esdeath standing on his left and right sides.
They landed directly at the gate of Kusagakure, a scene that naturally attracted the attention of the two Kusagakure ninjas guarding the gate, who were only Chunin in strength.
Therefore, when faced with the sudden appearance of Shiro, Irene, Esdeath, and the others, the two guards were extremely flustered, not knowing how they had suddenly appeared...
Tell me, are you scared or not?
In any case, the two guards were terrified. If they had been ambushed earlier, they would have been killed. So their fear and anxiety were understandable; anyone would be scared in that situation.
"Who are you people?"
The two dared not be careless and were already on high alert, their hands already in their ninja tool pouches, ready to pull out kunai or shuriken at any moment.
These little tricks are completely meaningless.
Bai Mu ignored this and coldly said, "We are Konoha ninjas, and my name is Uchiha Bai Mu!"
Konoha ninja?
Uchiha Hakubaki...
Holy crap, it's Uchiha Hakumu's copy!
The two grass ninjas' expressions changed drastically, and their gazes towards Bai Mu became different.
Fear and dread were overwhelming; they couldn't suppress their inner terror. Although they were only Chunin, being assigned to guard the gate naturally placed high demands on them.
At the very least, you need to know who you can mess with and who you can't, otherwise you won't even be able to guard the gate properly.
Bai Mu is clearly someone you can't mess with, and someone you absolutely must not offend.
If you really offend someone, even dying to atone for it won't be enough.
Therefore, this must be handled properly.
Otherwise, if not handled properly...
Even in death, there's nowhere to seek justice.
He died in vain.
Chapter 195 Disobedience means certain death
Silence, still silence.
After a long while, the grass ninja on the left finally dared to ask, "May I ask what brings you here, sir?"
There's no way around it, you really have to be careful. You can't beat the other person, but your life is your own, so being careful is always the right thing to do.
Otherwise, he would get himself involved, and Kusagakure might face an undeserved disaster. That was Uchiha Hakumoku, the Hokage's assistant and the head of the Uchiha clan.
Second only to one person, above ten thousand others, the Hidden Grass Village is not to be trifled with, truly not to be trifled with!
“You are not qualified to speak with me. Call your leader out.”
"Three minutes, I'll only give you three minutes."
If you don't show up in three minutes, I'll go in directly.
"Whether Kusagakure will still exist at that time is hard to say."
Bai Mu said coldly, his voice icy and carrying a hint of murderous intent, devoid of any emotion.
Upon hearing this, the two guards at the door looked at each other, unsure of what to do. As for whether to angrily rebuke the other party for his shameless talk...
Forget it, they have that ability.
Furthermore, they genuinely couldn't handle it.
Hurry up and let the higher-ups handle it.
Soon, the two reached an agreement, and the guard on the right rushed into the village, his legs moving as if they were missiles, accelerating at lightning speed.
If we're too slow, Kusagakure will be doomed.
Very quickly, less than three minutes, just one and a half minutes, the leaders of Kusagakure arrived.
Not only the leader of Kusagakure, but also the higher-ups, and even Muwei rushed over. In fact, the leader of Kusagakure was happy when he learned about this.
He knew he had temporarily escaped the coup, but what followed was even bigger trouble: why were the people from Konoha here?
The key is……
Uchiha Hakumu, what brings the Venerable God here?
He was terrified, but he had no choice; he had to step up himself.
Just moments ago, Wuwei was arrogant, clamoring to become the leader of Kusagakure, but upon learning that Bai Mu had arrived, his attitude immediately changed, saying, "You are still the leader..."
Damn it, you're clearly scared to death, why are you yelling?
This earned the Grass Village leader's utter contempt.
That's it?
All they do is make a lot of noise; in reality, they're still the same. They're probably not even as good as me.
Kusagakure is full of talented people; dozens of them arrived at once and occupied the main gate.
The leader of Kusagakure stood at the front, looking at Bai Mu, Irene, and Esdeath, feeling extremely uneasy and afraid deep down.
But at this moment, he could only force himself to remain calm and stepped forward, saying, "May I ask what brings the Hokage here?"
Bai Mu holds three positions: head of the Uchiha clan, captain of the security force, and assistant to the Hokage. However, he can only truly represent Konoha as an assistant to the Hokage.
Because this is the most powerful position.
The clan leader represents the Uchiha clan.
The Security Department maintains stability within Konoha.
The assistant to the Hokage is the most powerful person after the Hokage, possessing supreme authority. Therefore, the leader of Kusagakure knew exactly how to address him.
