Bonus Part: What happened in the mist? Part 2

Everyone just stared at Kagura in bewilderment.

Mei coughed as she regained her composure.

"What are you really here for?"

"Simple, I'm here to give you the information for the next battle, and to teach the person who is becoming the next Mizukage, on everything they need to know about it."

Everyone was shocked again that the Mizukage's own twin brother was going against him.

"You are betraying your own twin."

Kagura gave Chojuro a death glare, which made the latter shrink into his collar.

"The Mizukage is not my twin, he would never do something like this."

He said in a stern tone.

"So who is becoming the next Mizukage?"

"Me."

"Great choice, now let me tell the plan for the next battle, and as I am teaching Mei-sama, the rest of you will be training, sound good."

"Yes, sir."

And that's what happened for the rest of the week. As this was going on Lagura, Kurama, Isobu and the real Kagura were on the way to Yagura's office. When they arrived, they concealed their chakra, and presence and sneaked in. Yagura was doing paperwork, after he made a blood clone with a seal that will make it stay after being killed. The others went into Yagura's mindscape and boy was it a mess, that didn't matter right now they freed Isobu by placing a genjutsu releasing seal on him, left the mindscape, swapped the real Yagura with his clone, and headed towards the Karatachi Compound. When they arrived, they immediately went to lay Yagura down to rest. Lagura felt something off with him.

"Hey, Yagura?"

"Yes, Lagi?"

"Did you put a illusion on yourself?"

Yagura's eyes widened, astonished that she managed to sense the genjutsu.

"Yes, but it's to hide what I look like."

"Can you release it?"

Yagura hesitated but nodded, he started doing hand signs, then smoke surrounded Yagi, when it cleared, the others were horrified at what they saw. Yagura had huge, dark bags under his eyes, he was a thin as a twig, you could literally see his bones, bruises, cuts and blood covered his entire body. Yagi lifted his head up to face them with a weak smile. Lagura started crying uncontrollably. The other males had their hands over their mouths.

"W-W-What happened to you?"

Isobu said in a shaky voice. Yagura then turned his head away in shame.

"I-I-I will tell you when I'm ready to."

"We understand, take your time, no need to rush."

Yagura then gave them a weak but thankful smile as he passed out from exhaustion. Kurama caught him and gently laid him down on the bed.

"Who ever did this to you will pay, that's a promise."

"Let's pack our things first, then will leave. Lagura you stay here and watch over Yagura, I'll pack your things for you."

"Okay."

The males left to pack their things, when they finished, Kagi gave Lagi her things, he then carefully carried Yagura on his back, and with that they left.

Time skip:A week later.

The Resistance and the Loyalist were facing each other on the battlefield.

"Well well, you fools actually showed up, but this will be your last."

'Yagura' said in a cold tone. Just when he finished, someone in a cloak landed in between them. The mysterious figure then faced him.

"No it won't, it will be the last battle of the war, which will be the rebels victory."

Yagura started shaking as he dropped his staff, which caused everyone shock. The figure then approached 'Yagura' poked his forehead as he said release, after a few minutes the figure removed his finger as 'Yagi' shook his head and looked around.

"Where am I and what's going on?"

That shook everyone to the core, that the very person that started this whole thing, has no clue on what is going on.

"Yagura."

"That voice, no it can't be."

He said in disbelief as he began crying, shocking everyone even more. The figure then threw off his cloak to reveal a someone who looked identical to the Mizukage, crying tears of joy, stunned everyone including the resistance into silence.

"Welcome back, My Beloved Little Brother."

Yagura smiled warmly sobbing, as he launched himself into the elder one's waiting arms, the said person sobbing joyfully at being reunited with his little brother after years. While the rest stood there, stunned at the fact that the Mizukage, whom they though was blood thirsty and cold hearted, was currently a sobbing mess.

"I'm back."

Suddenly a flood of memories came rushing to Yagura's mind. He stumbled back, face full of shame, disbelief, sadness, as he raised his head.

"I-I-I did that, I ordered every single blood line to be killed."

Kagura lost his smile as sadly nodded. Yagura looked terrified. Kagura's form started to disintegrate as he said his final words.

"I love you little brother."

Yagura began sobbing tears of pain and sadness as he fell to the floor, screaming at the fact, he lost his brother again, after seeing him. Immediately, the shinobi, including those from the rebels started to try to help him, now knowing that he wasn't himself during the bloodline purge. The Mizukage then suddenly stood up, still crying, to face Mei.

"I suppose your going to be the next one?"

Mei nodded in curiosity. He gave a sad smile.

"Well then, I hereby declare Mei Terumi the Fifth Mizukage, in hopes that she will rebuild what I've destroyed."

He sudden declaration made everyone gape at him. He then grabbed a kunai, placed it next to his throat. Everyone including the resistance immediately tried to persuade him not to. He sadly shook his head.

"This is my redemption for the suffering I caused, I'll finally be free from my burden of being a jinchuriki. Mei please be the Mizukage I couldn't be, make the village bloom into a beautiful one. And make sure that the Sanbi goings undisturbed and protected, where ever they end up, that is my last wish. And thank you for everything,  even after all the pain I caused you still follow me."

And with that he slit his throat. Everyone just stood there as the lifeless body fell to the ground. Mei then started approaching it, kneeled down, clasped her hands into a silent prayer. She then stood up.

"Well, you all heard him let's make this village into a beautiful one. We're going to give him a proper burial, he was a victim just as much as we are, in respect, no objections, now move it!!"

"HAI!!"
