"But they heard your voice and saw your silhouette—there's a chance they might recognize you."
"Also, I—"
"They're caught in my genjutsu. Ordinary shinobi can't see through it, but that doesn't an no one can."
"Controlling more than a dozen jonin-level ninja simultaneously—besides the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, what else can do that in this world?"
"Do you want people to start guessing my existence? Wondering if I'm secretly working behind the scenes?"
Uchiha Haru looked at i Terumi and explained slowly.
"But..." i Terumi frowned slightly.
She wanted to argue, but she couldn't—because she knew Haru was right.
If those ninja were allowed to leave, they risked exposing him.
But she still couldn't bear to see those loyal Hidden Mist shinobi hard.
"No buts!" Haru cut her off sharply. "To accomplish great things, you must be decisive and ruthless."
"There's no right or wrong, no should or shouldn't—only what benefits you."
"These people must die!"
With those words, thick vines suddenly sprouted from the ground, wrapping tightly around the illusion-bound ninja.
Crack! They were crushed and broken on the spot.
All those Hidden Mist shinobi died instantly.
i Terumi's eyes widened in horror as her whole body trembled.
At that mont, she truly realized what kind of shinobi this Uchiha man before her was—roughly her age but utterly cold and composed.
Decisive in killing, calm in the face of death, never hesitating or dragging his feet.
He made the best choice for himself, without regard for anything else.
There was no doubt these 26 deaths were terrifying.
She couldn't do it.
At least, not now.
But this was the woman destined to beco the Fifth Mizukage.
After a brief mont of shock and reluctant acceptance, she cald herself.
What Uchiha Haru did was right.
Though cruel and hard to accept,
right is right.
Perhaps she should beco soone like Haru.
The two left together.
More enemies could arrive at any ti—this was no place to linger.
Besides, standing next to the corpses of forr comrades stirred painful emotions in i Terumi.
They reached a secluded spot.
i Terumi answered Haru's earlier questions.
"The Fourth Mizukage really is compromised..."
She recounted how she tested the Mizukage and was discovered.
"A man wearing a mask?"
Haru's eyes narrowed.
"Yes—a man with a spiral mask, with only his left eye visible."
i Terumi still vividly rembered the terrifying pressure radiating from that figure.
So he'd arrived too.
With such distinctive features, Haru certainly had a good guess who the man was.
The masked man claiming to be Uchiha Madara.
He was here as well.
"Are you uneasy?" i Terumi asked.
A woman's intuition was often accurate.
Haru did not deny it. "I suspect so."
"Oh," i Terumi nodded—but then her expression abruptly changed.
She took two steps back, struck by a terrifying thought.
If Uchiha Haru knew the masked man, could it be that...
They were once on the sa side?
Yes—the Sharingan symbolized the Uchiha clan.
The masked man was an Uchiha.
Haru was also an Uchiha.
They were from the sa clan.
The thought sent a chill through her.
Haru noticed i Terumi's sudden shift in mood.
"Is sothing wrong?" he asked.
"What is your relationship with that mysterious masked man?"
"Are you two working together to destroy Hidden Mist?"
"What's the real conspiracy?"
i Terumi's voice trembled with anxiety.
If her suspicions were true, Hidden Mist might be dood.
"We've had dealings, but we're not friends," Haru explained carefully.
He saw i Terumi's suspicion and knew her thoughts were understandable.
In such a sensitive situation, trusting a stranger blindly would be foolish.
Still, i Terumi's eyes held doubt.
Though she recognized her suspicions as baseless—even absurd.
If Haru and the masked man were truly colluding, why would they have approached her, warning that the Fourth Mizukage was controlled?
Yet from what she had learned,
there were secrets hidden from her knowledge,
secrets tied to the survival of all Kirigakure.
Even the Fourth Mizukage was being manipulated.
Now she trusted no one.
However, this ti Uchiha Haru didn't explain too much.
He said lightly, "You can either choose to believe or leave on your own—I won't stop you."
Now it was i Terumi who needed him, not the other way around.
Haru only needed a spokesperson within the Hidden Mist Village.
That person could be i Terumi or soone else.
But i Terumi was different.
Besides herself, there was no other choice.
Hearing Haru's words, i Terumi frowned even deeper.
She had expected Haru to co up with all kinds of reasons, but never thought he would let her walk away so easily.
For a mont, she was at a loss.
She now clearly understood just how much she needed help.
Most people in the Hidden Mist Village would never believe she was just an ordinary ninja with little influence.
She needed a powerful ally—soone strong enough to turn the tide!
Uchiha Haru was the best choice.
The question was... was there really no risk in doing this?
i Terumi pondered carefully, hesitating, wrestling with her doubts.
Finally, after so ti, she raised her head and asked solemnly, "Uchiha Haru, I have only one question. I hope you will answer honestly."
"Will you harm the Hidden Mist Village?"
The Hidden Mist Village—this was what she cared about most.
No matter how dark or bloody the Hidden Mist Village had beco,
this was the place where she was born and raised.
She held the deepest feelings for it.
No matter what the future held, she wanted to be certain the village would remain safe.
"No," Haru replied firmly.
"I promise the Hidden Mist Village will only grow stronger and better."
"Moreover, I will help you beco the Fifth Mizukage and give you control over the village."
Since he had chosen the Hidden Mist Village as his foundation, he naturally hoped it would thrive and grow powerful.
That way, during the coming upheavals, he would gain greater influence and a stronger position.
"Let beco the Fifth Mizukage, and then just be your puppet—like the Fourth Mizukage, who's controlled right now?"
i Terumi said bitterly, sarcasm sharp in her voice.
She suddenly realized sothing important.
This wasn't about helping the Hidden Mist Village or even helping her beco Mizukage.
Uchiha Haru wanted to control the entire Hidden Mist Village.
"That's right," he said calmly.
"I will control Kirigakure behind the scenes, but at least I won't use genjutsu illusions to manipulate you."
Haru had plenty of excuses for his actions.
After all, he had invested so much effort; of course he wouldn't make it easy for others.
Kirigakure had to be firmly in his grasp.
There was no need to explain—if he even tried, it wouldn't work, since it was all too obvious.
"You... you can't even think about it!"
i Terumi's brows knitted tightly.
"I will never agree to that!"
She couldn't bear to hand over her village to an outsider.
"You can refuse, and then I will kill you and find soone else. Soone will agree."
Haru said calmly.
He needed i Terumi—not only as a puppet, but as soone who could genuinely handle village affairs.
But if i Terumi was truly stubborn, then she simply wouldn't be i Terumi anymore.
"You..."
i Terumi was furious, but had no way to vent her anger.
The Fourth Mizukage was already controlled by others.
Though sowhat famous within the village, she was still young and lacked real influence.
How many people would believe her?
Uchiha Haru was the sa—both wanted to use her to control Kirigakure.
A deep sense of helplessness washed over her.
She had no way to break the deadlock.
In just a few minutes, she tried countless options and weighed their consequences.
The best choice was... to listen to Uchiha Haru and beco his puppet.
After all, that way she could still maintain so control and prevent Kirigakure from falling completely out of control.
Although Haru insisted she was not the only one involved,
i Terumi keenly sensed it was far more complicated than he let on.
She didn't know why Haru had co to her.
But she knew one thing—she possessed sothing unique, sothing Haru needed.
Otherwise, why would he bother with her at all?
As long as she was irreplaceable to so extent,
she now held the upper hand in dealing with Uchiha Haru.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
i Terumi lowered her head and fell silent.
Haru did not press her, standing patiently to await her answer.
Finally, after a long pause, i Terumi lifted her head, exhaled deeply, and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"However, you must promise you will never use illusions to control , and you will not do anything that harms the Hidden Mist Village."
"Agreed."
Haru nodded firmly.
i Terumi felt more at ease.
A strong man like Uchiha Haru—his words shouldn't be empty promises.
They reached a unanimous agreent.
Imdiately, they began discussing their next steps.
What should be done next?
