Kaito still had an impression of Gonbei. He was the personal guard who had always been beside Elder Genji.
After a while, the man arrived at the Mizukage's office.
However, he first glanced at the Third Mizukage warily, then noticed that Ao and Kaito were present, and then he relaxed a little.
Although the Third Mizukage saw Gonbei's expression, he did not point it out directly. Instead, he asked directly.
"Tell me, where is Elder Genji now?"
"Elder Genji.."
Gonbei looked at the Third Mizukage somewhat at a loss, and hesitated in his tone, not knowing whether he should speak.
However, the Third Mizukage spoke in an uncharacteristically gentle manner.
"Don't worry, it's all over."
After Gonbei looked at the Third Mizukage's expression carefully, he gritted his teeth and then spoke.
"Third Mizukage-sama, Elder Genji has been in the secret room of his home. With..."
"He sealed himself together with the Three-Tails' container."
The Third Mizukage just shook his head and smiled when he heard this, with some emotion in his tone.
"This old guy is really cunning. I didn't even know he had a secret room in his house."
Upon hearing this, Gonbei immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The Third Mizukage saw how cautious he was and didn't say anything to him. He just turned and looked at Kaito and the others.
"Kaito, Ao, the two of you come with me to see that old guy."
"The rest of you can go back and rest. This incident will be considered an S-level mission."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard that, and finally turned their eyes to Kaito, making him very embarrassed.
Kaito, with a frown on his face, winked at Kisame, but immediately thought of something and turned to look at the Third Mizukage.
"Third Mizukage-sama, Captain Harusame and I still have..."
Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage smiled and patted his head.
"I'm old now, don't worry, it's all in the past."
Then, the Third Mizukage called another Anbu and gave orders again.
"Take back the rebel ninja Wanted Notice of Kaito and others."
Having said that, the Third Mizukage paused for a moment, looked at Kaito, and asked in a suddenly dry voice.
"Is Yagura dead?"
Upon hearing this, Kaito wanted to remind the Third Mizukage that he was not the leader in the last operation.
However, when he looked up and saw the Third Mizukage who suddenly looked older, he didn't say anything more and just answered honestly.
"Yakura-senpai's body disappeared."
The Third Mizukage just said "hmm" after hearing this. Since there was no body, he would treat him as if he was alive.
"Karatachi Yagura has defected, and a wanted notice for traitorous ninja has been issued."
The Anbu who received the order asked at an inappropriate time.
"Third Mizukage-sama, do I need to report the reason for his defection?"
The Third Mizukage simply glanced at the Anbu indifferently, and his tone returned to its calm state as he spoke slowly.
"No reason, just issue the order."
"Yes!"
The Anbu seemed to realize that he had been a little too talkative and quickly took the order and retreated.
Despite this situation, the disclosure of Karatachi Yagura's identity as a traitor is a big blow to the Kirigakure Village.
But after all, it is not certain whether Yagura is dead or not, if the other party is still alive.
Given his previous status in the village, if he was not clearly defined as a traitor, and it was unknown what he would do with the help of his original identity.
However, if they directly said that the other party was controlling the Third Mizukage, it might be a bigger blow to the village.
It was not until this time that the rest of the people left the Mizukage Building one after another.
In the end, only Ao and Kaito were left, and they followed the Third Mizukage to the residence of the Elder Genji.
The residence of the Elder Genji is much better than the overly simple house of the Third Mizukage, but it is also not very big.
Kaito also suddenly realized that it seemed that these two people had no family or relatives. He didn't know whether they died in battle or something else.
However, it is obviously not a good idea to ask the person directly about this matter.
After entering, Gonbei led the way carefully.
When they reached an empty room, Gonbei turned the mechanism to reveal the wooden door of the secret room.
But now this wooden door is covered with dense sealing patterns.
Kaito and the other two all looked at Gonbei, waiting for his next move.
Unexpectedly, this guy looked at the three of them awkwardly and said with a stiff upper lip.
"Third Mizukage-sama, the seal of this secret room of the Elder Genji can only be automatically lifted after the time is up. Forcible removal will cause an explosion, causing everything inside to be destroyed."
Now even Kaito was speechless.
‘No wonder he has been with the Elder Genji for so long and has decent strength, but is still only a personal guard and has not been able to get any official position in the village.’
‘Shouldn't you have said this earlier? Why did the Third Mizukage come all this way just to see the prints on the wooden door of Elder Genji's old house?’
However, the Third Mizukage did not intend to blame the other party, and asked in a gentle tone.
"How long will the seal last?"
"Twenty days, there are still sixteen days left."
Kaito only then realized that just after they left the village to carry out the "Zero" mission, the elder Genji took the three-tailed beast and sealed themselves up.
Kaito doesn't know whether he realized something was wrong, or whether Yagura and the others took some action at that time.
"Just sixteen days."
When the Third Mizukage heard what Gonbei said, he laughed even more happily and looked at Kaito with squinted eyes.
"The old man does have confidence in you, but you've done better than he thought."
The Third Mizukage kept calling him "old fellow" and "old thing" left and right, but Kaito didn't dare to respond and could only give an awkward smile.
But then he remembered what he had just said that it would take sixteen days to lift the seal, and he was hesitant to talk to the Third Mizukage.
Unexpectedly, when the Third Mizukage saw the awkward expression of Kaito, he spoke directly in a casual manner.
"I only have ten days to live, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ao and Gonbei, who were present, both had their pupils dilated and looked at the Third Mizukage with disbelief.
Only Kaito looked at the indifferent expression of the Third Mizukage, with a hint of bitterness in his words.
"Yes, Third Mizukage-sama, at most eleven or twelve days, but you will definitely make it after that."
"Two days longer than I thought? That's good, but it's a pity that I can't see old Elder Genji for the last time."
The Third Mizukage shrugged indifferently after hearing this. He didn't look like an old man who was about to die at all. Instead, he looked much younger than before.
Kaito really wanted to save the Third Mizukage, but his "Revival Blessing" could only revive people to their state before death.
That is to say, those who died in battle can still be saved, but for people like the Third Mizukage who have reached the end of their lifespan, there is really nothing that can be done. Even other medical ninjutsu and other means cannot prolong their life.
Seeing that Kaito and the other two fell silent for a moment, the Third Mizukage smiled silently, and then spoke words of comfort.
"Come on, young men."
"Since we can't see that old man Genji, let's go back. We still have a lot of things to do these days."
