AWB Chapter 427 Making Yellow Peaches
Chapter 427 Making Yellow Peaches
"...So it really is the Second Mizukage?"
"This is amazing! People from all over the world have come. It seems like only the people from Kumogakure are missing."
After Hozuki Gengetsu proved his identity, the others were not surprised by his identity; instead, they marveled at Granny Chiyo's charm.
"By the way, does the Raikage have any reanimated versions of the previous Raikage?"
"I don't know, probably not?"
After learning that Hozuki Gengetsu was resurrected by the current Mizukage through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the group immediately wondered if other ninja villages would do the same.
If the Third Raikage were also resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and also had a crush on Granny Chiyo, wouldn't Granny Chiyo be subjected to the Hell Thrust One-Hit Jutsu?
This is even more amazing than the special skill of Kato-senpai, the distant relative of the silent one.
The group had originally planned to go find Granny Chiyo to confirm things, but now they were starting to dawdle.
"What are you looking for?"
Hozuki Gengetsu scratched his head in confusion.
"N-nothing."
Several people waved their hands in denial.
"...Take me there quickly, don't look for the Raikage, he won't show up."
The little mustache's lips twitched twice, suppressing the urge to explode.
He reassured himself, telling himself that the ninja world was now in a time of peace, times had changed, and the five great ninja villages had united to fight against external enemies, which was a good thing.
He must treat the younger generation from other villages as if they were his own, and take the lead in demonstrating the demeanor and elegance of a senior from Kirigakure...
"Huh? Second Mizukage, how did you know?"
"I don't know, but I understand the Third Raikage's personality."
"Personality? What does this have to do with personality? Even someone with Madara Uchiha's personality fell for Granny Chiyo, didn't he?"
"..."
Hozuki Gengetsu remained silent.
The personality he was referring to was that the Third Raikage wasn't as intelligent as him. If the Third Raikage suspected Madara Uchiha of having a conspiracy, he would simply rush over and fight, trying to kill and seal Madara Uchiha.
In any case, the Third Raikage could never be as great as him, enduring humiliation and sacrificing his reputation to investigate the truth.
But he couldn't shatter these young girls' fantasies.
Otherwise, what if they found out that Madara Uchiha and Granny Chiyo's relationship wasn't a sweet romance but a dark conspiracy, and then had a mental breakdown and refused to take him with them?
What if he goes to confront Madara Uchiha and alerts him?
Tolerate!
"You're right, but what you don't know is that the Third Raikage actually likes men, and he has a secret relationship with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Hozuki Gengetsu smiled and changed his words.
As for defaming the Third Raikage?
He sacrificed his reputation for the safety of the ninja world, claiming to be Chiyo's suitor. Couldn't the Third Raikage have done the same?
Besides, what if what he said is true?
"What?! The Third Raikage too?"
The group was surprised.
"Hmm, right—hmm?! What do you mean by 'ye'?"
Hozuki Gengetsu nodded, then realized something was wrong.
"Well, it's just what we've heard, but the relationship between the Fourth Raikage and the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, is so close that they're even closer than brothers."
"Yes, yes, they say the two of them eat at the same table, sleep in the same bed, and even take a bath in the same tub."
"The Fourth Raikage is almost fifty years old, right? He's still unmarried, probably to avoid letting women interfere with his brotherly relationship with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Three women make a drama, and when it comes to gossip, these women are professionals. With each of them chiming in, they've created a whole story about the Raikage and Killer Bee.
?
real or fake?
Does that mean the Raikage lineage is going to die out?
Hozuki Gengetsu was somewhat taken aback.
He made it up on the spot, and it actually came true?
No matter how the Third Raikage tries to fabricate stories, the fact that he married and had children cannot be erased.
As a result, the Fourth Raikage is almost fifty years old and still unmarried. Isn't that just plain stubborn?
Hozuki Gengetsu was incredibly surprised inside, but on the surface he maintained a calm expression, acting as if he were a seasoned veteran who had seen it all and was no longer surprised.
"That's normal. The AB combination in Kumogakure actually means 1 and 0."
Moreover, according to what you've said, the current Raikage has toned it down considerably.
Thinking back to the Third Raikage, that was truly terrifying.
Did you know that the Third Raikage had two titles?
The strongest spear, the strongest shield!
Do you know what this means...?
"The Third Raikage is both the attacker and the defender!?"
Matsuri and Yukata answered in unison.
"...Absolutely correct."
Hozuki Gengetsu was shocked to find that the ninjas in the ninja world today were so knowledgeable and so corrupt, and he was overcome with sorrow, but he could not show it.
"The wounds on the Third Raikage's body were all inflicted on him as the one who was attacked."
As the attacker, the Third Raikage once nearly killed the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, even breaking Kakuzu in half. (Kakuzu: ?)
Hozuki Gengetsu continued spreading rumors about the Third Raikage without any qualms.
He was just disappointed that these people were only curious about why the Third Raikage hadn't come, not why the Second Tsuchikage, his old rival, hadn't come.
Otherwise, he could have enjoyed the yellow peaches to his heart's content.
He'll just say he actually likes little boys, so Onoki, who never grows up, is his favorite... What a pity.
"But wasn't the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha in that kind of relationship? Yet Madara is still pursuing Granny Chiyo."
"..."
The question posed by the yukata froze Hozuki Gengetsu's smile.
Damn it, how could he forget about that!
"Ahem, you don't know this, but look, the First Hokage got married and had children."
Madara Uchiha's current pursuit of Granny Chiyo is actually a way of taking revenge on the First Hokage.
What he was thinking was—okay, if you get married, I'll get married too; if you're heterosexual, I'll be heterosexual too.
He doesn't truly love Chiyo at all!
That's why I want to stand up and stop him now!
If Chiyo pursues her own love, I will absolutely not stop her.
As long as I see Chiyo happy and content, even if I am all alone, I will be satisfied.
But Madara Uchiha is different. He uses Chiyo as a substitute. I absolutely will not allow that to happen!
"I must stop Madara Uchiha and save Chiyo's happiness!"
As Hozuki Gengetsu spoke, his speech became increasingly fluent and his tone and emotions were very rich, which deeply moved the three little ones.
Only Temari noticed the problem.
She remembered, it seemed, it appeared.
Isn't the name Hozuki Gengetsu the legendary love triangle between the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and the two star-crossed lovers who had an improper relationship but ultimately parted ways due to the village's hatred?
It seems that the "grass" in Kusagakure refers to the combination of the water shadow and the earth shadow, and the "hozuki" in Hozuki Castle refers to the name of Hozuki Gengetsu.
No wonder Hozuki Gengetsu knows so much about this; it turns out he's one of the same kind of person.
Wait, that's not right!
If Hozuki Gengetsu loves Mu, then why is he now saying that he admires Granny Chiyo?
has a problem!
After careful analysis, Temari came to the conclusion—
What Hozuki Gengetsu was saying was actually all about himself!
Because Wuwei reproduced in Hozuki Castle, the successive lords of Hozuki Castle were all named Wuwei or something similar.
Hozuki Gengetsu believed that Mu had betrayed him, so he wanted to betray Mu in return and went to find Granny Chiyo!
