Chapter 216: post-disaster

Chapter 216 After the Disaster

It has been more than ten hours since Kirigakure's coup.

The battle in Wuyin Village is not yet completely over, and occasionally the sound of battle can be heard somewhere.

Although the main force of the Blood Mist Sect has been extinguished, there are still some diehards who do not want to surrender and plan to fight to the end.

However, Yakura does not need to personally lead the team to destroy the next battle. The Blood Mist Faction is about to be wiped out, and the most important thing is the immediate village reconstruction work.

Because most of the fog hidden area was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, many places were destroyed due to the battle, including important facilities such as the Water Shadow Building.

The area where he fought with Mizukage Mizukage was the most serious disaster area, with continuous large-scale destructive water escape techniques and the bombing of Tailed Beast Jade, all buildings and streets were completely destroyed, leaving ruins like residues.

On the rocky island a little north of Wuyin Village, the sea breeze blows slightly across the border.

Yakura waved his left arm lightly. This left arm was cut off by Mizukage Mizukage's water flow blade before, and it has been completely connected to the shoulder at this moment, intact as before.

"I didn't expect your medical ninjutsu to have reached this level. I was already ready to use prosthetics."

He looked at Shiraishi who performed medical ninjutsu for himself and connected the broken arm on his left, with admiration in his tone.

He believes that even Tsunade Hime, one of the Konoha Sannin, may not be able to do this.

Compared to Konoha's medical technology, Wuyin Village's medical technology is even less likely to reach this level.

Thinking of Hayashi Yuyurina's injury that made many people feel helpless, Shiraishi also healed it. Yakura has a more intuitive understanding of Shiraishi's medical ability.

Shiraishi looked at Yagura swinging his newly recovered left arm, and said, "I advise you not to move that arm at random in the next half month, otherwise I won't guarantee that it won't fall off again. Moreover, the jutsu I used just now is essentially different from medical ninjutsu.

"The legendary slug fairy? I didn't expect you to sign a contract with Wetbone Forest."

Yakura was quite surprised.

But thinking that Shiraishi was once one of Tsunade's students, maybe the contract with Shibone Forest was recommended by Tsunade, so I feel relieved.

Shiraishi didn't intend to explain more, because this kind of thing is irrelevant to the follow-up cooperation between himself and Yakura.

"Compared to this, you are the one who really surprised me."

"What?"

"You can control the Three Tails."

Shiraishi was really unexpected that Yakura controlled Mio and became the perfect Jinchuriki.

Because as far as he knows, Yunyin Village in the Land of Thunder is the ninja village that has the most thorough research on tailed beasts, and Yunyin Village has always been the most complete in developing the power of tailed beasts.

Unexpectedly, Yagura was able to perfectly control the power of the three tails under the condition that the research on Kirigakure Village Tail Beast was not perfect.

I have to say, this really surprised Shiraishi.

This also means that Yagura, who is a human being, and the Tailed Beast, who is hostile to humans and regards humans as despicable, have become best friends who can connect with each other.

"I don't want the intelligence system of Wuyin Village to be completely infiltrated by you like Konoha."

Yakura glanced at Shiraishi speechlessly.

After all, he has been dormant for a long time for the position of the fourth Mizukage and the Blood Mist Suppression Faction. If Shiraishi knows everything, he is too inferior as the future Fourth Mizukage.

"I'm just collecting some information symbolically, just to prevent problems before they happen."

Shiraishi shrugged his shoulders, because he used to be a Konoha ninja, so he knew more about Konoha's power than Yakura.

There are indeed many problems in that village, but the flaws are not hidden, and the strength of Konoha is also genuine.

Whether it is a top ninja or an intermediate ninja, they must surpass other ninja villages.

In addition, relying on the rich resources of the Fire Nation, sufficient development funds, and maintaining good cooperative relations with important national officials such as the Fire Nation Daimyo, Konoha's armament strength is often rising steadily, rather than regressing.

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what's the current situation on Konoha's side?"

Yakura suddenly remembered something and asked Shiraishi this question.

Due to internal strife, Wuyin Village's strength has been greatly reduced, and it is difficult to recover without a few years of development.

For this reason, he needs a shield that can attract the attention of all parties and reduce the presence of the fog.

Konoha is the most suitable candidate.

"Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato sacrificed. If Yun Yin does not change his strategy, I believe that within the next month, he will attack Konoha again."

"Did you even sacrifice Hokage himself? The noise you made this time is a bit too much."

Yakura was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Shiraishi's handwriting to be so big.

There is no one worthy of fame, and Yellow Flash can be said to be the most popular ninja in the ninja world in recent years.

With the strength of one person, the Yanyin battlefield was ended.

Then, with a thunderous speed, he blocked Yun Yin in the Kingdom of Tang, making it impossible for Yun Yin to enter the Kingdom of Fire, and lost troops.

The sudden sacrifice of such a legendary ninja, which has made all countries fear, Yagura did not expect.

"I've been looking for opportunities to deal with him, but I haven't been able to find the right time. I didn't expect to complete the task this time by accident."

Minato, who can use time-space ninjutsu to the level of perfection, is definitely one of his future enemies.

Now that Minato is dead, a big stone has fallen in Baishi's heart.

"It seems that Konoha doesn't need to worry about anything for the time being, and the next step is to see Yun Yin's efforts."

Yakura nodded.

"But before that, I want to remind you of one thing."

Shiraishi's face became a little more serious.

"What's up?"

"The person who used Kyuubi to cause Namikaze Minato's death this time was not me. I provided this information to a person named Nagato. He had joined an organization called 'Akatsuki' before, and he did it this time."

Shiraishi said so.

"Akatsuki?" Yagura stroked his chin for a moment, looked into Shiraishi's eyes and said, "I seem to have heard of this organization somewhere. It is said that it is a well-known organization in the Land of Rain. I followed the War of the Land of Rain a few years ago. I made some intelligence summaries about it, and the organization 'Akatsuki' was among them."

"Generally correct. Although Yuyin Village is now reduced to Konoha's vassal, 'Akatsuki' will not be disbanded because of this, and it will definitely set off a **** storm in the ninja world in the future."

Shiraishi said so.

"Even so, it shouldn't have anything to do with me, right? I have no connection with Yuyin."

Yakura asked back.

The tragedy of the Land of Rain was caused by its special geographical environment, and it was devastated by the ninjas of Konoha, Sand Yin, and Rock Yin.

But this has nothing to do with Kirigakure, who is alone overseas. In the previous wars of the Kingdom of Rain, there was no Kirigakure ninja involved. Naturally, the relationship with the Kingdom of Rain is not deep.

"No, it has a lot to do with it. Nagato has the eyes of reincarnation. If my guess is correct, his next goal should be to secretly collect information on the tailed beasts of the five major countries, and launch a plan to capture the tailed beasts. Now that you have become a three-tailed Jinchuriki, you will be targeted by him sooner or later."

Hearing what Shiraishi said, Yagura's eyes widened.

Reincarnation eye? Tailed Beast?

If it wasn't for sure that Shiraishi wasn't the kind of person who would aim at nothing, Yagura really thought that Shiraishi was telling a fairy tale.

The reincarnation eye of the Sage of the Six Paths, he always thought it was a myth and legend created out of nothing.

"This is some information about Nagato, please destroy it after reading it. According to the news I got recently, Nagato's subordinate Bai Ze is secretly collecting information about defected ninjas from various countries. I don't know what they are doing, but there is a high probability that they want to use the power of recruiting defected ninjas to help capture the tailed beast."

Shiraishi took out a scroll and put it in front of Yakura.

Yakura took the scroll and felt that things suddenly became troublesome.

He knows how powerful Shiraishi is, and even he pays more attention to Nagato of Akatsuki, and he has already explained some problems before eliminating this threat immediately.

"I know, I will be careful about the reincarnation eye, and I will strengthen the protection around me."

If the opponent is an existence that even Shiraishi must take seriously, Yagura thinks it is necessary to increase the protection force around him.

Because in the future he is not only Kirigakure's Sano Jinchuriki, but also Kirigakure's fourth Mizukage.

Seeing Yakura approaching the enemy, Shiraishi paused for a moment and smiled and said, "Of course, there is no need to be too nervous about this matter. When Nagato actually takes action, it will take a long time to prepare. Moreover, I still need him to attract Konoha's attention for me for the time being."

"..."

Yakura suddenly felt that Konoha Ninja, the strongest of the Five Great Nations, was actually in a difficult situation.

To be targeted by the ninja who defected from his own village, and also to be targeted by the holder of the Samsara Eye, is it an honor or a bad luck?

After that, there is nothing to talk about. For further cooperation, we have to wait until the situation in Kirigakure stabilizes before discussing it.

Saying goodbye to Yakura, the other party rushed back to Wuyin Village not far away, and had no extra time to discuss things with Shiraishi.

"finished?"

Liuli came over at this time.

"It's over, it's smoother than expected. Next, we just need to wait for the news from Yunyin."

Shiraishi breathed a sigh of relief, and won Kirigakure, and the layout of Oni Nation in the Ninja World will be much smoother.

"It is not that simple for the traditional ninja village to break away from the 'rule' of daimyo and nobles."

Liuli mentioned this sentence.

Traditional ninjas don’t do production. Most ninjas usually earn remuneration. After maintaining ninja equipment and purchasing training resources, they can barely solve the problem of food and clothing.

Funds for the development of Ninja Village can only be provided by the daimyo and nobles of the country.

Once the daimyo and nobles cut off the supply of funds, Ninja Village will have to 'layoff' to reduce the number of ninjas, which means that Ninja Village's military strength will become weaker.

Mist Hidden Village is a typical example of this, and it is also a very bad example.

The root cause of the blood mist is that the daimyo and nobles of the country of water kept reducing the military expenditure of Kirigakure Village, which prevented the healthy development of Kirigakure's military power.

As Mizukage, the first job is to hope that Ninja Village will be more prosperous and developed.

For this reason, in order not to reduce the overall military strength of the village under the circumstances of a sharp decline in military expenditure, they began to take the elite route.

The so-called elite route is the prototype of the current 'Blood Mist'.

Let the graduates kill each other and learn the essence of ninja fighting in advance.

Later, not only the ninja school, but also spread to many classes outside the school, making Wuying Village full of fighting smoke and **** smell.

To a certain extent, it has indeed strengthened the military power of Wuyin Village, but it also left behind a very terrible disaster.

The spirit of many Kirigakure ninjas was strongly stimulated, and the suicide rate and defection rate increased rapidly. The Kirigakure ninjas who were able to maintain their sanity were squeezed out and assassinated in various ways. In the end, they had to be stationed at the border to escape the persecution of the Blood Mist faction ninjas.

Behind this scene, there are also the shadows of the daimyo and nobles of the country of water. They hope that through the change of blood fog, they can turn Wuyin Village into a personal weapon in their hands, instead of just maintaining a "cooperative" relationship.

"Because of this, there is a need to cooperate with Yagura. In the final analysis, it was the daimyo of the country of water and those nobles who pushed Yagura and Kirigakure to our side. For this, I really want to thank them for their overreaching ambitions, which helped me a lot."

The matter of Kirigakure is over, there is no need for Shiraishi to stay here, and he returns to the kingdom of ghosts with Liuli.

◎

"sit."

After saying goodbye to Shiraishi, Yakura returned to the village and came to a fairly complete room.

Someone is already there waiting for me.

The other party was sitting on a loose chair, holding a snake-shaped crutch in his hand. He was the elder Yuanshi of Wuyin Village.

Prevented Yagura from further riots, let him and the third Mizukage stop, so that Kirigakure would not fall into worse chaos.

"Most of the Blood Mist Sect has already surrendered, and only a small number of stubborn forces are still resisting. I believe that before sunset today, the turmoil will be completely quelled."

Yakura sat opposite to Master Yuan and spoke first.

Master Yuan nodded and said, "Restoring the development of the village as soon as possible is the most important thing right now. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the village couldn't find a suitable candidate, I would definitely not support you to become the fourth generation. Even if you master Sanwei, the result will be the same."

Yakura's biggest problem is that he is not in the right position. After this incident, the topic of controversy in the village will become more and more serious.

Supporting Yakura to become the Fourth Mizukage, Yuanshi is also under enormous pressure from public opinion.

The most important point, as Yuanshi said, among all the ninjas in the village under the age of forty, there is no one who can surpass Yakura in ability and strength.

What's more, Yagura has many subordinates. Master Yuan suspects that Yagura has already secretly controlled all the garrisons in the country of water. In addition to the ninjas in the village, there are at least thousands of them.

If Yagura is not designated as the next generation of Mizukage, once those people are dissatisfied and protest, it will turn into a very terrible situation.

Instead of doing this, it is better to go with the flow, which not only fills the vacancy of the Fourth Mizukage's position, but also appeases many of Yagura's subordinates, giving them a reassurance, and proving that the high-level will not settle accounts with them.

"It's just a last resort. If Master Yuan wants to retrain a Shuiying, it won't take more than ten years."

Yakura also knew that Genshi supported him because of the overall situation of Kirigakure, not because he really liked him and became the fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure.

On this point, Yakura still has self-knowledge.

"Before then, Mizukage's position is temporarily placed with you. Your way of handling things is too messy, please pay attention to it in the future, and don't use violence to solve the problem at every turn."

Master Yuan's tone sounded quite dissatisfied with Yagura's previous behavior.

Because the follow-up processing is very troublesome, and once there is a problem, it may cause more confusion.

Shuiying handed over in this way, in the name of orthodoxy, will also be greatly provoked, and will set a very bad example for future generations.

And this power of example was brought by Yakura.

"Gentleness is not suitable for today's Kirigakure. For the Blood Mist faction, we must use strong medicine. Yuanshi, don't you also know that they are secretly colluding with Yunyin's ninjas? In fact, without my help, you would have put forward the proposal against Xiguashan puffer ghost becoming the fourth generation of Mizukage at the meeting."

Yakura understands the truth.

It's just different from Master Yuan, he didn't take the overall situation into consideration, but chose to take the lead with his sword.

If you fail, you will die, if you win, you can usher in a new era for Kirigakure.

As for whether this new era will be good or bad for Kirigakure's future, Yakura can't see clearly either.

But apart from this road, there is no other way to go.

In recent years, he has been observing the ruling system of the Oni Country, because the names and nobles of the Water Country are no longer trustworthy, and Kirigakure must find another way out.

However, the era of one country, one village has gone through decades of ups and downs, and has received the full support of most countries and ninja villages. After all, the name of the person who created this era is Senshouzhuma.

is the **** of ninjas!

It is still very rare for a ruling class like the daimyo and nobles of the country of water to dig their own graves and ignore contracts and rules.

Kirigakure's blood mist evolution is just an accidental variation in the ninja's historical evolution route, and it cannot be regarded as a universal meaning.

Of course, it is also possible to lead Kirigakure again and reconcile with the ruling class of the country of water... But once some things are destroyed, it is difficult to reunite.

It takes ten years or decades for the two parties to build trust, but losing trust often happens in an instant.

"Since you have this awareness, let's lead Kirigakure to become stronger. However, I will also monitor your every move behind the scenes, and I will not let you mess around in this village again."

Master Yuan sighed.

Yakura is not his favorite candidate for the fourth Mizukage.

Hiding his ambition beside the Mizukage Mizukage for many years, he even got involved with the Mizukage in the village without anyone noticing, and under the condition that the research on the Kirin Tail Beast was not perfect, through tempering himself, he became the perfect Jinchuriki.

All of these things show that Yakura is a ninja whose aggressiveness is more terrifying than that of Suiguashan puffer ghost.

It's just that all his radical thinking in the past has been covered up by his harmless face.

If Yakura hadn’t initiated a coup this time, it would be hard for him to believe that there are such excellent ‘ninjas’ in Kirigakure.

Failed to discover Yagura's plan in advance, and only focused on the Blood Mist faction, Yuan Shi thought it was his own dereliction of duty.

Otherwise, he would be able to negotiate with Yakura in advance to subvert the ninjas of the Blood Mist faction in a more gentle way.

"It's really stressful to be watched by you, the most respected person in the village. However, this is the consequence I have to blame. As for the next generation of Mizukage, I already have a good candidate. In fact, I also know that my fourth generation of Mizukage will not sit for a long time, and it is impossible to retire at the age of sixty or seventy like the third generation."

No matter how you cover up the fact that you are not in the right place, you will be criticized by others.

Even in the position of the fourth generation of Mizukage, whether he can work until the age of forty is also a question.

"who is it?"

Master Yuan slightly opened his eyes, staring at Yagura's childish smiling face like a baby.

"Terumi Mei in the Anbe, she is absolutely loyal to Kirigakure, and she has not been swayed by the bad atmosphere of the Blood Mist School. She is proficient in the four chakra attribute changes of fire, thunder, earth, and water, and has the two blood-successor limits of melting escape and boiling escape. If she focuses on training, she is enough to become a solid rock in the village."

Yakura recommended this candidate to Master Yuan.

Genshi nodded slightly. Terumi Mei knew that the ninja with two blood successors, who were extremely rare in the ninja world, was already a jounin in the village at a young age, and his strength was not bad.

In fact, he paid a lot of attention to the younger generation of Kirigakure ninjas.

He originally meant to prepare to leave the fourth Mizukage position vacant, and he would be at the helm of Kirigakure, slowly crowding out the blood mist policy, and then start training the younger generation of ninjas, waiting for the right opportunity to elect the fourth Mizukage.

However, all of this was disrupted by Yagura, forcing him to change his plan.

"I will train her myself."

Master Yuan held the snake-shaped cane in his hand, more like an unquestionable attitude.

"Of course, it is her honor to have Master Yuan cultivated by you personally. I believe she will be an excellent Mizukage in the future."

Yakura smiled slightly.

Standing up from the seat, the conversation was almost over here, and Yagura walked outside.

"Has your arm recovered yet?"

Master Yuan's voice came from behind.

Yakura stopped, nodded, and said without looking back: "Yes, he was healed by a friend with a good relationship."

"Is Ringo Yuri too?"

"yes."

"It seems that there are still many unknown secrets about you. According to my informant, yesterday, on the sea not far from the village, overwhelming thunderclouds appeared out of thin air, surrounding 500 Yunyin elite ninjas. After the thundercloud dissipated, the five hundred Yunyin ninjas also disappeared, leaving only a few traces of fighting."

Yakura just nodded silently and didn't say much.

It’s not yet time for a showdown with Master Yuan, if he exposes his cooperation with Shiraishi, Master Yuan will definitely object because of Baishi’s rebellious status, causing him to change his mind and vacate the position of Fourth Mizukage.

Wait until he has completely controlled the village and restored Kirigakure's power, then it will not be too late to have a showdown with Master Yuan.

Even if Master Yuan wanted to object at that time, he would not shake his position as Mizukage.

"I won't say much about your friend, but don't provoke Konoha like the watermelon mountain puffer ghost. The strength of that village is beyond our Kirigakure."

In Teacher Yuan's tone, there was a rare sense of helplessness and avoidance.

Because many institutions in Wuyin Village, such as the important ninja school and the Anbu system, were established by imitating Konoha, the military strength of Wuyin Village has been greatly improved.

The more this is the case, the more Master Yuan knows how powerful and terrifying Konoha is.

Just by imitating, the power of Kirigakure can be improved by leaps and bounds. As Konoha, the pioneer of the ninja school and the Anbu system, their power can be imagined.

War broke out between the two sides, and it will definitely end in Kirigakure's fiasco.

Sand hidden, rock hidden and cloud hidden are examples.

Ninja villages that have fought against Konoha have all been defeated without exception, and their position as the number one in the ninja world is unshakable.

"Don't worry, what Kirigakure needs now is recovery, and there are not too many internal conflicts to transfer, foreign wars."

At least for now, he won't attack Konoha.

As for the future, let the future judge.

Ending the era of one country and one village established by the God of Ninja sounds quite exciting. Yagura thought to himself.

Master Yuan is old. Although it is for the overall benefit of Kirigakure, after all, his thinking is too conservative.

But I am different, I am still very young and have enough time to develop Kirigakure.

Compared to saying some meaningless beautiful big words, Yagura prefers to prove his strength with practical actions.

If even Kage loses his aggressive ambitions, Yakura feels that this is the real source of sorrow for Kirigakure.

On this point, he still admires Yunyin's strong thinking that is persevering and constantly looking for a way to become stronger.

"This is the best. The third generation has retired, don't shoot him again, let him spend his old age in peace. I will send someone to watch him, and won't let him affect you."

Mizukage Mizukage and Mizukage Mizukage had deep conflicts with Yakura due to previous incidents. Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage, who had lost the support of a large number of Kirigakure ninjas, had become a loner in the village. Sensei was very worried that Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage would secretly plan against Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage.

"This is the best way, and I don't want to be charged with killing my boss."

Yakura dropped those words and left the room.

Walking outside, Terumi Mei, who was wearing an Anbe uniform, had been waiting there for a long time.

"Master Yakura."

"Has the battle damage statistics been calculated?"

Yakura asked.

"Yes. More than 2,300 people were killed in battle, more than 600 people were seriously injured, and more than 3,000 people were slightly injured. As for the damaged buildings and facilities... countless."

Terumi Mei answered truthfully.

Yakura couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this number.

"After I succeed the Fourth Mizukage, I'll go meet that daimyo. Wuyin Village has suffered such a heavy blow, so there should be something to say. Have you prepared all the materials?"

Terumi Mei nodded, the correspondence between the Blood Mist Sect and the daimyo and nobles of the Water Country, as well as other evidence materials, are all ready.

Not only the physical evidence, but also the witnesses are all in place, among which many big fish were caught.

Wuyin Village is now in disrepair, and to restore funds, it can only be blackmailed and threatened from the daimyo in a disgraceful way.

The ninja village and the rulers of the country, who were supposed to help each other, can only use extortion to obtain funds. It has to be said that this is a kind of sadness.

Terumi Mei believes that the relationship between Kirigakure and the country of water has completely entered the twilight stage, and darkness must not be far away.

"However, what if they refuse to admit it?"

Terumi Mei asked worriedly.

"At this point, it doesn't matter whether they admit it or not, and I don't need them to admit it, as long as I can stop their stinky mouth and continue to provide funds for Hidden Fog. I am different from the third generation, and I will not be used to them."

Yakura's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Seeing this, Terumi Mei has no doubt that when the time is right, Yakura will personally lead the Kirigakure ninjas all the way to the capital of the country of water, and twist the head of the daimyo and nobles who interfered in Kirigakure's internal affairs.

(PS: In the original manga, it was mentioned that the relationship between Kirigakure and the ruling class of the country of water is very bad. During the Five Kages Conference, the daimyo of the country of water publicly stated that he did not believe in the ninjas of the country of Kirigakure. When forming the ninja coalition, he also looked reluctant. This content is found on the first page of the manga in chapter 488. During the period of the second generation of Mizukage, after imitating the ninja school and Anbu system of Konoha, the military power has advanced by leaps and bounds, and there are traces to follow.)
