Looking at the backs of the disappearing group, a pensive expression appeared on Misu's face. Although they were a bit far away, Misu clearly heard a word when they passed in front of Misu, "Defectors!"
"Defectors? Does that mean rebels? Ninjas who launched a coup because they were dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage's brutal policies?" Misu pondered slightly in his heart.
One thing that puzzled Misu was why the Fourth Mizukage was implementing such a brutal rule. Although the Mist ninja used to be cold-blooded, they weren't like this now. To pass the Genin and Chunin tests, they even had to kill their companions who they had been with day and night, and even persecute and exterminate the Kekkei Genkai families and meritorious veterans of Kirigakure. What was going on?

As the leader of a village, the first thing to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} consider was the stability of the village. No matter how incompetent a leader was, they should know this, especially in the background of the Ninja World War having just ended. This was the best time for the village to recuperate.
Persecuting those meritorious elders could be said to be for maintaining his rule, which was barely understandable, but persecuting the Kekkei Genkai families seemed very brain-dead. The Kekkei Genkai families could be said to be extremely high-end forces for a village. As long as they didn't revolt, even if the high-level officials had a bad relationship with them, these Kekkei Genkai families had great value for the village. To execute and persecute those families was undoubtedly cutting off one's own arm and seriously damaging the village. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like something a village leader should do.
However, for Misu, he hoped that those rebels could successfully overthrow the Fourth Mizukage. In that case, Haku and her mother wouldn't have to live in fear all day long.

But then Misu shook his head. These were not things he could decide at all. He could only silently bless those rebels to succeed in his heart. At this time, Haku had completely quieted down, but his face was still a bit pale. It seemed that the murderous aura on those ninjas had frightened Haku.
Holding the rice bag in one hand and gently pulling Haku's hand in the other, Misu smiled and said, "Let's go back." "Yeah," Haku nodded with a pale face.
At night, the fog was even thicker, almost covering the entire village, and flickering lights could be vaguely seen in the village through the thick fog, adding a touch of mystery to the village.

At this time, in Misu's home, the father and son were quietly eating dinner. Misu told his father some of the things he had seen today. "Mist ninja?" Hayato's eyebrows furrowed slightly on his pale face.
"Yes, those ninjas seem to be chasing after those so-called rebels. I guess it's probably the ninjas in the Land of Water who were persecuted and dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage's rule who have united to denounce and suppress the Fourth Mizukage," Misu said faintly, taking a bite of a dish.
"Then be careful recently, go out less, and don't let anyone discover anything. I'm afraid the entire Land of Water will be in chaos recently. The Fourth Mizukage will probably intensify the crackdown on the rebels, including those with Kekkei Genkai," a trace of worry appeared on Hayato's pale face.

"I understand, and I've already told Haku," Misu said slowly. "Yes, that child Haku can't completely control his Kekkei Genkai yet. If he shows his face too much, it will be easily noticed," Hayato said slowly.
"But what on earth is that Fourth Mizukage thinking? Turning this country and the ninja village into a mess. What good does that do for him?" At this time, Misu couldn't help but to complain.
After a moment of silence, Hayato said slowly, "I feel that this Fourth Mizukage is a bit strange." Saying this, a trace of contemplation appeared on Hayato's face.

"What's going on?" Seeing his father's expression, Misu was stunned and asked with some doubt. Misu believed his father's words very much. As an elite Jonin who had participated in the Ninja World War, his experience was far from what this rookie could compare to.
"When I first came to the Land of Water and settled down, I went out to explore the intelligence of the entire Land of Water in order to ensure safety, including the Mist Ninja Village at that time and this Fourth Mizukage," Hayato said slowly.
Hearing his father say this, a look of understanding flashed across Misu's face. For a ninja with rich experience, the first thing to do after coming to a strange area to live was naturally to find out the situation in this area. For an excellent ninja, the most basic vigilance was essential.

"At that time, the Fourth Mizukage had just taken office for less than a year, and according to the information I had investigate, this Fourth Mizukage was kind to people and was gentle and courteous, and even proposed reforms to the village's existing system," Misu seemed to be recalling something, looking at the snowflakes outside the window.
"Reform?" Misu was stunned. "That's right. At that time, I went to the villages around the Mist Ninja Village alone to investigate, and I heard that this Fourth Mizukage, although he came from the Mist Ninja Village with a relatively cruel system, had a relatively cheerful personality and did not be infected by the cold-blooded personality unique to Mist ninja. So he was very disgusted by the existing cruel system in the Mist Ninja Village, so he proposed reforms, hoping to establish a more humane system, and also to increase the village's cohesion, and reduce the number of fleeing ninjas, because in his view, no matter how excellent the ninjas cultivated through the cold-blooded elite policy were, those fleeing ninjas were a great loss to the village," Hayato said faintly.
"This proposal was said to have encountered great resistance at that time, because the Land of Water, although it was one of the five major ninja countries in the Ninja World, was also the smallest of the five major countries due to its isolated location overseas, so it was at a disadvantage in terms of resources compared to the other major countries except for the Wind Country, which was full of deserts. Therefore, it was a huge burden for the entire Mist Ninja Village to maintain such a large ninja organization even in non-wartime, so the Mist Ninja Village insisted on taking the elite ninja route. Moreover, because the Land of Water was isolated overseas, war was almost impossible to reach the Land of Water, so maintaining such a large ninja organization was a huge waste for the Mist Ninja Village and the Land of Water," Hayato explained to Misu.
"But the Fourth Mizukage seemed to have suppressed all the opposing voices and resolutely implemented this policy. But the good times didn't last long. Just two years later, I don't know what happened, the Fourth Mizukage suddenly changed his temperament drastically. Not only did he completely overturn the new policies he had previously proposed, but he also intensified the old policies, and even persecuted the meritorious ninjas and Kekkei Genkai families in the village."

"What exactly happened to the Fourth Mizukage that his temperament changed so much?" Misu also said with a confused expression.
"Yeah, it's hard to imagine that such a person would actually do such terrible things, that's why I said that this Fourth Mizukage is a bit strange," Hayato also said, unable to understand.
