Chapter 212: The end of the blood mist (1)
Chapter 212 The End of the Blood Mist (1)
"Namikaze Minato is dead."
The next day, in an inn in a town in the Land of Water, Shiraishi said in a calm tone the news he had just sent from Konoha.
The specific battle damage has not yet been calculated, so Shiraishi does not know how many ninjas Konoha sacrificed to suppress Kyuubi.
Of course, the battle losses of the other ninjas are not in Shiraishi's consideration.
The point is that Minato Namikaze is dead. In Shiraishi's view, none of the thousands of Konoha ninjas has brought him as much pressure as Minato Namikaze.
Hearing Shiraishi's news, Liuli was also slightly stunned. She knew that Shiraishi used Nagato to attack Konoha, but she didn't expect the other party to make such a big noise.
Hokage died, this is not a trivial matter that can be taken lightly.
Konoha is probably in a mess now.
"It seems that the power of the reincarnation eye cannot be underestimated."
Shiraishi knew that Liuli must have misunderstood something, and said, "It's not what you think, Liuli. Although the cause of Namikaze Minato's death is still uncertain, there is a high probability that he was not killed in battle."
"Yeah?"
Liuli is not very interested in this.
The cause of Minato's death was a trivial matter to her.
Firstly, although they were both Konoha ninjas in the past, they had never had much social interaction. Second, now that she is standing on the opposite side of Konoha, after being surprised by Minato's death, there is no disturbance in her heart.
It was just that an enemy who had nothing to do with him died.
There are also regrets, that is, from the beginning to the end, I have not been able to have a one-on-one fair battle with a powerful ninja like Minato.
This opportunity has never existed before, and it is even more impossible to have such an opportunity after Minato's death.
"But in this way, this guy died in your hands twice."
Thinking of this, Liuli laughed with great interest.
When he left Konoha five years ago, he used Kushina as bait and designed to kill Minato once.
In addition to this death, it was the second time Shiraishi made a move against Namikaze Minato.
"Hey, don't label me indiscriminately for this kind of thing. I wasn't the one who killed Namikaze Minato this time."
Shiraishi wanted to disassociate himself, to prove that this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.
"But you provided the information, right? Do you dare to say that you can stay completely out of it?"
"I just provided information, how to use that information is beyond my control."
Up to this time, Shiraishi was still denying that he was the one who killed Minato for the second time.
After all, Shiraishi himself could not have predicted the consequences of giving the information to others.
He didn't have much confidence in Nagato's use of the Nine-Tails Riot to get rid of Namikaze Minato from the beginning.
It can only be said that Nagato has done a very good job, and Shiraishi is not dissatisfied in the slightest.
As far as the result is concerned, even if the ninja Konoha survives, as long as the yellow flash of Minato is sacrificed, then the plan will not be considered a failure, and it can be said to be a complete victory.
"Even so, Konoha's power should not be underestimated. Although the strength of the third Hokage has declined, it still retains some of the style of the peak period. The two consultants of the same generation, the leader of the roots, Shimura Danzo, are also top-notch ninjas. What's more, Konoha has a powerful faction like Sannin."
Liuli folded her hands on her chest and poured cold water on Shiraishi, telling him not to relax his vigilance towards Konoha just because Namikaze Minato died.
In the ninja world, there are not a few people who capsize in the gutter because of laxity.
"Of course I understand this kind of thing. Compared with the older generation of Sandai Hokage and others, the existence of Sannin should naturally be paid more attention to. However, I am very clear about the strength of Tsunade-sensei. Except for medical ninjutsu, her strength is not enough to pose a big threat to us. The remaining two Sannin are the key."
Baishi's tone was a little more serious.
"Jiraiya and Orochimaru?"
"That's right. Leaving aside Zirai, Orochimaru is an all-round genius ninja. There are no shortcomings in the three genres of ninjutsugen. He also has a huge psychic beast in Ryuchidong, and has strong scientific research capabilities and commanding capabilities. In addition, he has a cautious personality... Even if Kakashi came into contact with him, he has not obtained any useful information so far."
It can be said that he is a ninja with no weaknesses.
No matter how strong a ninja is, he can always find some shortcomings to target.
However, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, does not have this defect, and can fight any type of ninja in any environment without being at a great disadvantage.
Like an undead poisonous snake, at a critical moment, it gives a fatal blow.
"Maybe after Namikaze Minato's death, he will immediately take over as the Fifth Hokage."
Liuli nodded, Orochimaru is indeed a difficult ninja.
"Yeah, no surprises, Orochimaru is the fifth Hokage. In the fifth Hokage campaign, Konoha has no opponent for Orochimaru... But killing a fourth Hokage is already the limit. It is difficult to target Orochimaru who is under the protection of Konoha. The most important thing is that we still have too little information about Orochimaru, and we didn't have much contact with him in the past."
Shiraishi sighed.
I feel that Konoha is really full of talents. The third Hokage abdicated, the fourth Hokage sacrificed, and the fifth Hokage immediately had a suitable candidate.
After a series of tossings, he can still come up with such a background, which can only be described as terrible.
"Of course, there is another guy worth noting. The Konoha ninja who has learned the eight-door Dunjia and is called Maitedai. Remember his son, he was your student in Konoha in the past."
After Baishi reminded her, Liuli also remembered the existence of such a person.
On the night of his defection, Matt Dai's taijutsu really made people feel bright, and he was a taijutsu ninja worthy of attention.
"It happened. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about this guy."
"Ayane said that after he opened the seven gates, physical skills will become extremely difficult, so please pay attention when encountering them. After all, a few years have passed, and his strength must be stronger than before."
"Is it the legendary gate of death? If there is a chance, I would like to see it with my own eyes."
According to the legend, the ninja who opens the Eight Gates Dunjia Formation will gain unrivaled power in a short period of time. I don't know if it is true or not.
"There will be such opportunities in the future. If the country of ghosts wants to develop, it must touch the cake of vested interests. And Konoha is the biggest vested interest in ninja village in the era of one country and one village. Sooner or later, he will meet them."
Liuli nodded, agreeing with Baishi's words.
"It's almost time, let's go. The news of the death of the Fourth Hokage will not spread so quickly. The most important thing now is to solve the blood mist faction inside Kirigakure and make Yakura the fourth generation of Mizukage."
After Baishi finished speaking, he walked out of the hotel, and Liuli also went out together, heading towards Wuyin Village.
◎
The vast sea is covered with a layer of tulle-like water mist, which is not a bad view, but for those who are new to this country, the view will indeed be affected a little.
Wuyin Village is located in such a coastal area.
One side is leaning on the sea, the other side is leaning on the mountain forest. The whole village is shrouded in pale mist. From a distance, you can only see the huge outline of the village, the towering water tower buildings, and the dam that intercepts the water.
Compared to the name of a village, the area of Wuyin Village looks more like a bustling metropolis.
There are tens of thousands of well-trained ninjas living here, together with countless civilians, who provide the village with a large number of new ninja troops every year. Even if there is a large-scale war, with the size of Wuyin Village, it will be able to recover quickly.
The same is true for ninja villages in other big countries.
Chunin, representing the backbone, and Jonin, representing the elite, have never been lacking.
It is precisely because the power of the ninja villages of the five major countries is too strong, and the military strength has increased year by year, there is an insurmountable gap with the ninja villages of the small countries.
Besides, the leader of the Great Ninja Village is a powerful ninja named "Five Kages".
Each of them can influence the outcome of a war.
However, compared to the other four big ninja villages, Wuyin Village is isolated overseas and rarely communicates with mainland countries. It only fought against Yanyin Village in the Land of Earth during the First Ninja World War. At other times, it has been concentrating on overseas development.
Therefore, what happened in this ninja village, it is difficult for the ninja village of the big country living on the mainland to obtain information on Wuyin village.
But today is an unusual day for Wuyin Village.
The election of the fourth Mizukage will be held today.
It has been more than thirty years since the third generation of Mizukage ruled Kirigakure. Now that he is old, coupled with his series of stupid tricks, the interior of Kirigakure Village is in chaos, which has led to many tragedies, and has made many ninjas in the village feel dissatisfied.
It was only due to his orthodox identity, and the fact that he had worked hard all these years, and it was considered hard work, that didn't make everyone explode.
But if it continues to delay, it will only make Kirigakure more chaotic.
In order to calm the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people, the election of the fourth Mizukage is imminent.
Driven by a mysterious undercurrent, the election of the fourth Mizukage has nothing to do with the will of the third Mizukage himself.
The election meeting of the Fourth Mizukage was held in the large meeting room of the Mizukage Building, and the official start time was 9:00 am.
It is now 8:50, and the meeting will officially start in ten minutes.
But at this moment, the people attending the meeting have basically arrived.
Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage, Mizukage Secretary Goju Yakura, Suikayama Puffer Demon, Tsukusa Yebaito, and the rest of the high-level staff, there are a total of more than 20 people.
"That guy Tozo doesn't seem to be here? What's wrong?"
A high-ranking ninja pointed to an empty seat and had doubts about it.
Pipa Juzo is the owner of the contemporary Ninja Seven, the beheading sword, and one of the few elite Jōnin in Wuyin Village. With the natural influence of the Seven Ninja, there are many followers in the village. Although that power is not strong, it cannot be completely ignored.
"He chose to abstain from the vote of Ten Zang. He is currently stationed at the border and does not plan to participate in this Mizukage election meeting."
The owner of the big sword and shark muscle, Xiguashan puffer ghost, answered the other party's question.
"Really? I didn't expect that there are only the two of you among the famous seven ninja swords in our village."
Looking at Xiguashan puffer ghost and Tongcao Yebaiten, the tone is quite emotional.
"Don't worry, as long as I become the fourth Mizukage, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be completed automatically soon."
Pufferfish Demon grinned, for the fourth generation of Mizukage is bound to win.
After waiting for so many years, what he was waiting for was this moment.
"However, Kuri Sakushimaru and Murashi Jinhachi were killed by Konoha Rennin Hinata Ayane, and the long sword, sewing needle and explosive sword, spray are missing. It is not an easy task to get them back."
"That's right, that Hyuga Ayane, it is said that even the Fourth Raikage of Yun Yin is not her opponent."
The ninja swords held by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen each have a special ability, and now they have lost two at once, and they have not been found for several years. Everyone knows that the chances of getting them back from the rebellious ninjas are slim.
If the rest of the ninja villages got two ninja knives, they can get them back peacefully through normal diplomatic means.
But it fell into the hands of the defecting ninja, and it is not that simple to get it back.
The most important thing is that they can't keep track of each other's whereabouts, and they can't find anyone to negotiate with if they want to negotiate.
Puffer ghost snorted coldly, and didn't say such big words that he could kill Konoha's S-class rebellious ninja easily.
Being able to defeat Raikage, one of the Five Kages, is a testament to the strength of the other party. It is estimated that all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in their heyday have the possibility of victory.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are not on the same level as the 'Five Kages'.
As long as I master Kirigakure, I can send a large number of ninjas to hunt down each other, and if I don’t believe it, I won’t be able to get back the two missing ninja swords! The puffer fish ghost thought indignantly in his heart, because the other high-level people looked down upon him, which made him quite unhappy.
Even if it is the truth, as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he cannot be underestimated.
"Since Juzo abstained, the rest of the people are here, let's start the meeting, Mizukage-sama."
said the blowfish ghost.
Three Mizukage's old face wrinkled, and he sighed inwardly, this moment has come.
After all, I was ashamed of my teacher's second-generation Mizukage Onito Genzuki's dying entrustment, and did not lead Kirigakure to develop well.
In the future, Kirigakure should be handed over to young people with more ideas.
"Master Yuan, what do you think?"
Three Mizukage looked at the old man sitting beside him who had been silent all the time.
Older than his face.
The name of the other party is Master Yuan, and his seniority is higher than his teacher, the second generation of Mizukage Ghost Lantern Huanyue. He is a person of the same age as the first generation of Wukage. When he was young, he was also a famous ninja in Wuyin Village. He contributed his whole life to the construction and development of Wuying Village.
"Let's start, this era should be dominated by young people, and Konoha is doing the same."
Master Yuan is a ninja who has experienced various periods in Wuyin Village.
In the past, Mizukage Onito Genzuki imitated Konoha and established the Anbe and Ninja School of Kirigakure Village, which made the military power of Kirigakure Village grow by leaps and bounds.
Even Konoha is in this era, and made the choice to let young people guide Konoha, and Yuanshi naturally agreed to the election meeting of the Fourth Mizukage.
At least in this way, it can inject fresh vitality into Wuyin Village.
Three generations of Mizukage are old after all, unable to deal with many things, and lack the decisiveness of their youth.
Caused cracks inside Kirigakure, and the third generation of Mizukage cannot escape the blame.
"Then, the fourth Mizukage's election meeting will officially begin."
With the consent of the elder Yuanshi, the third Mizukage nodded. Even the most far-sighted elder Yuanshi in the village believed that the election of the fourth Mizukage was imperative. He, Mizukage, had indeed reached the age to abdicate.
It is said that it is an election meeting, but in fact, the prerequisite preparations have been made before the meeting.
The Mizukage election system in Wuyin Village is divided into three steps. The first is public opinion surveys, the second is Jonin surveys, and the third is high-level surveys.
Among them, public opinion survey imitation Konoha is the top choice.
Followed by Jnin and high-level votes, which also accounted for a certain proportion.
"So, how did the polls turn out?"
A high-level inquiry.
The executive in charge of this aspect stood up from his seat and said: "Among all the candidates participating in the selection of the Four Generations of Mizukage, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost jonnin received the most votes. Not only that, but the jounin side also had a similar result, completely ahead of the other candidates."
"A victory without the slightest suspense? It looks like it was done deliberately."
A high-level executive who was dissatisfied with the behavior of Xiguashan puffer ghost snorted coldly, as if he had doubts about the result.
The watermelon mountain puffer ghost remained calm and didn’t get angry because of it. It’s fine to deal with the objections afterwards. There’s no need to make a big fuss here now.
Especially if the person involved is still him, the quarrel at this time will only deepen others' doubts about his ability.
"However, this is indeed the result of voting according to the formal process."
The high-level person in charge of statistics said again.
"What if you, as an intermediary, are bought off and become colluded with someone?"
The senior executive before him smiled coldly.
"What did you say? Are you questioning my position?"
The high-level person in charge of counting the votes glared over.
"Who knows what's going on inside? Compared to Suikayama Puffer Ghost, I prefer Kutachi Jominin as Mizukage. His strength is not weaker than Suikayama Puffer Ghost, and he has been working hard to assist the third generation and has accumulated quite a lot of experience. After being promoted to Mizukage, he can immediately restore the village from the shadow of the past."
"I'm sorry, among the candidates, Goju Jonin only ranked fourth in the number of votes. It's a rather delicate term. Even if you have strength and experience in dealing with things, if you don't have good popularity and make the people dislike it, you can only stop here. The will of the people is the most correct notary."
The high-level person in charge of statistics glanced at Yakura, who was sitting on Mizukage Mizukage's right hand with a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't care about it.
"How can it be?"
"There is no need to question the eyes of the people. They can see who is more capable at a glance."
The high-ranking vote counting officer standing in the middle answered this way.
"Can the people who are deliberately blinded really be able to see so far away? What did the inspection team say?"
The high-level supporter of Yagura is still not giving up. He thinks that the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost will only bring Kirigakure to **** if he takes office as the fourth generation of Mizukage.
The high-level executive responsible for checking the votes mechanism picked up the manuscript, hesitated and said: "There is no mistake. After investigation, most of the people are inclined to the watermelon mountain blowfish ghost jominin."
As for what's tricky in it, it's unknown.
Opinion polls are the most important part of the Mizukage election, but they can also be said to be the most useless part.
As long as someone deliberately guides it, the public opinion below can be controlled and the public's tone can be changed.
Compared to seriously thinking about who to support, they are more like unrelated people watching and joining in the fun, and what they see may be just an illusion made by others.
Because of the unequal information and intelligence, they were seriously misled.
But in any case, the result has been set.
"Damn it! This kind of thing is problematic no matter how you look at it. I demand a new vote! There must be something wrong here!"
The high-level supporters of Yagura still can't believe that Xiguashan puffer ghosts have so many supporters.
"The yelling looks really ugly. Believe it or not, this is the truth. You can't deny this fact just because you don't believe it. Mizukage-sama, Elder Yuanshi, the result is already obvious. Suikayama Shinobi has won such strong support. Even if the final high-level vote is not made, I believe you two can see the final result."
The high-level person looked at the third Mizukage and the elder Yuanshi.
Master Yuan just frowned, but didn't speak.
Third Mizukage sighed, for him, it doesn't matter who is the Fourth Mizukage, as long as Kirigakure's power can be restored as soon as possible, it doesn't matter whether it is a member of the Blood Mist faction or a reformer.
The watermelon mountain blowfish ghost had no emotion on his face, but he was also happy in his heart.
There is no doubt that the Fourth Mizukage belongs to him.
"Also, I have one more question."
The high-level person in charge of counting the votes suddenly said again.
"what is the problem?"
Three generations of Mizukage asked.
"This question needs to be answered by Goju Jonin."
"Yakura?"
Sandai Mizukage turned to the right and looked at Yakura with a surprised expression.
Did Yakura do something?
Yakura replied flatly: "Excuse me."
"According to the information I received suddenly this morning, the garrison troops on the southern border began to abandon border defense and returned to the village aggressively. It is said that it was ordered by someone."
The meaning is very clear. He means that the Kirigakure garrison on the southern border was mobilized by Yakura.
"What!? Goju Jonin actually—"
The meeting room exploded immediately, and everyone stared at Yagura with shocked eyes.
The garrison troops on the border can never be transferred back without special permission.
Even if Mizukage ordered it, it must be decided by a high-level meeting, otherwise the high-level group has the right to hold Mizukage accountable.
Because once there is a problem with the garrison troops, foreign ninja forces may directly invade the country of water, bringing disaster to Wuyin Village.
"That's right, the garrison troops in the south, I gave the order without authorization to let them return to the village."
Yakura admitted it frankly.
This made the previous high-level person who asked Yagura choked up. He hadn't produced further evidence yet, so why did Yagura just admit it so simply?
This kind of crime is enough to drive Yagura into a situation of eternal doom!
The high-level supporters of Yakura were also dumbfounded. He didn't expect Yakura to be so bold. He directly skipped the high-level meeting and dispatched the southern garrison to return to the village under the guise of Mizukage's order.
"Yakura, are you crazy? If at this time, the south is invaded by foreign enemies, what should we do?"
Now everyone has no time to deal with the election of the Fourth Mizukage, because the position of the Fourth Mizukage has been determined, the most important thing now is to get the southern garrison back to the border as soon as possible, so as not to make mistakes in the southern military deployment of the Kingdom of Water.
The watermelon mountain puffer ghost was very happy. He didn't expect Yakura to be so crazy at the beginning, and directly dispatched the garrison troops back beyond his authority.
It seems that the other party has run out of skills and knows that they are no opponents in the voting, so they take a behavior that is tantamount to a lunatic in the eyes of everyone - a coup d'état!
The rest of the top executives also realized this, and glared at Yakura with unkind eyes, ready to take him down at any time.
But taking pictures of Yakura's strength, he didn't make a move immediately, but looked at Mizukage Mizukage.
Among all the people here, only Mizukage Mizukage can restrain Yagura.
Third Mizukage looked at Yakura with complicated eyes. He never thought that Yakura, who has been following him and performing his duties silently, would be such a crazy person.
"Yakura, don't you have anything to say?"
"The success of the king and the defeat of the bandits, as long as they want to get the position of the fourth Mizukage, isn't this the natural result, the third generation?"
Yakura stood up from his seat, his immature face like a doll was emotionless, but his purple eyes revealed astonishing determination.
"It's still too late to stop now, don't make mistakes again and again! Even if you don't become the fourth Mizukage, you are still an excellent jonin in the village!"
Mizukage Mizukage also stood up, not wishing to meet Yakura in battle, because that would cause Kirigakure to lose a powerful ninja.
There are only three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen left. If Yakura loses another powerful faction, Kirigakure will have no deterrent power for a long time in the future.
This is something Mizukage Mizukage does not want to see.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to betray your trust, Mr. Three Generations."
Yakura shook his head, the matter has come to this point, there is no other possibility except a coup d'état.
Moreover, for today's game, he has arranged for more than five years, and it is impossible to give up halfway here.
"Do it."
After Yagura finished speaking, the door of the meeting room suddenly exploded, flashing fierce thunder.
A figure sprang out like lightning, the soles of his feet stepped on the ceiling, his long brown-red hair hung down, and the whole person hung there upside down.
"Yakura, you are really moaning, I'm already impatient waiting outside! I have endured it for several years, and now I can finally have a big fight!"
"Lin, Lin Ayuri!?"
When everyone saw the true face of the female ninja who was ignorant of etiquette and rushed into the conference room to make trouble, they immediately widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
Didn't she die because of a serious illness?
How is this going?
Why are you still in collusion with Yagura?
The watermelon mountain puffer ghost also stared round his eyes, looking at Lin Yuyuli in disbelief, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Facing the panicked expression of this person, Hayashi Uyuri just accumulated thunder and lightning with his two swords, and showed a kind and kind smile to everyone.
"Thunderstorm Thunder Gate!"
Boom!
Thick smoke and explosion swept across the meeting room immediately, causing a large area of the external Water Shadow Building to collapse.
The sky was covered with overcast clouds, and the thunder was flickering, and the thunder was constantly falling, hitting the Water Shadow Building, trying to turn the whole building into powder.
Yakura was the first to escape from the explosion, jumped outside, and stared helplessly at Hayashi Uyuri, who was making a fuss there.
Even the important symbol of the village—Shuiying Building dared to bomb, which is not insignificant.
But thinking of the grievances the other party has suffered in the past few years, it is inevitable to go back to the village to decompress first, which is completely understandable.
"Forget it, just destroy it. Anyway, I also think that the current Mizukage Building is too old, and I can just rebuild a good-looking building in the future."
