"Minato Namikaze is dead."

The next day, in a hotel in a town in the Land of Water, Shiraishi spoke in a calm tone about the news just sent from Konoha.

The specific battle losses have not yet been calculated, so Shiraishi doesn't know how many ninjas Konoha sacrificed in order to suppress the Kyuubi.

Of course, the battle losses of the other ninjas were not considered by Shiraishi.

The point is that Namikaze Minato is dead. In Shiraishi's opinion, among the thousands of Konoha ninjas, none of them brought him as much pressure as Namikaze Minato.

When Shiraishi told this news, Liuli was slightly startled. She knew that Shiraishi used Nagato to launch an attack on Konoha, but she didn't expect that the other party would make such a big noise.

The death of the Hokage is not a trivial matter that can be brushed aside.

Konoha is probably in chaos now.

"It seems that the power of the Samsara Eye cannot be underestimated."

Shiraishi knew that Ruri must have misunderstood something, and said: "It's not what you think, Ruri. Although the cause of Namikaze Minato's death is still uncertain, there is a high probability that he was not killed in the battle."

"Yeah?"

Liuli was not very interested in this.

The cause of Minato's death was a trivial matter that didn't matter to her.

Firstly, although they were both Konoha ninjas in the past, they never had much contact with each other. Secondly, now that she was on the hostile side of Konoha, she was surprised by the news of Minato's death, but her heart was at peace.

He just died of an enemy that had nothing to do with him.

There are also regrets, that is, I was never able to have a fair one-on-one battle with a powerful ninja like Minato.

This opportunity didn't exist before, and it would be even less possible after Minato died.

"But in this case, this guy will die in your hands both times."

Thinking of this, Liuli laughed with interest.

When he left Konoha five years ago, he used Kushina as bait and designed to kill Minato once.

Coupled with this death, this was the second time Shiraishi had taken action against Namikaze Minato.

"Hey, don't blame me for this. It wasn't me who killed Namikaze Minato this time."

Shiraishi wanted to clear up the relationship and prove that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"But you provided the information, right? Do you dare to say that you can completely stay out of it?"

"I just provided information. How to use that information is beyond my control."

Up to this point, Shiraishi was still denying that he was not the one who killed Minato for the second time.

After all, Shiraishi himself cannot predict the consequences of giving information to others.

He didn't have much confidence in whether Nagato could use the Nine-Tails rebellion to get rid of Namikaze Minato from the beginning.

It can only be said that Nagato did this very beautifully and Shiraishi was not dissatisfied at all.

As far as the results are concerned, even if a single ninja in Konoha survives, as long as Minato, the yellow flash, is sacrificed, then the plan is not considered a failure and can be said to be a complete victory.

"Even so, the power of Konoha still cannot be underestimated. Although the strength of the Third Hokage has declined, it still retains some of the style of its peak period. The two advisors of the same generation, the root leader Shimura Danzo, are also first-class ninjas.

Besides, there are powerful factions like the Sannin in Konoha."

Ruri clasped her hands on her chest and poured cold water on Shiraishi, telling him not to let down his guard against Konoha just because Namikaze Minato was dead.

In the ninja world, there are many people who capsize in the gutter because of their carelessness.

"Of course I understand this kind of thing. Compared with the older generation of the Third Hokage and others, the existence of the Sannin should naturally be paid more attention to. However, I am very clear about the strength of Tsunade-sensei. In addition to medical ninjutsu, her strength

It's not enough to pose a big threat to us. The remaining two Sannin are the key."

Shiraishi's tone became more serious.

"Jiraiya and Orochimaru?"

"That's right. Regardless of Jiraiya, Orochimaru is an all-round genius ninja. There are no shortcomings in the three genres of ninjutsugen. He is also a huge psychic beast in Ryūchi Cave, and he has strong scientific research capabilities and commanding abilities.

, coupled with his cautious personality... Even if Kakashi comes into contact with him, he has not gotten any useful information so far."

It can be said that he is a ninja without any weaknesses.

No matter how strong a ninja is, he can always find some shortcomings to address.

However, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, does not have this flaw and can fight any type of ninja in any environment without being at a big disadvantage.

It's like an unkillable poisonous snake that delivers a fatal blow at a critical moment.

"Maybe after Namikaze Minato dies, he will immediately take office as the fifth Hokage."

Liuli nodded, Orochimaru was indeed a difficult ninja.

"Yes, as expected, Orochimaru is the Fifth Hokage. In the election of the Fifth Hokage, no one in Konoha is Orochimaru's opponent... But killing a Fourth Hokage is already the limit. I want to

It is extremely 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 have not had 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 died, and the Fifth Hokage immediately found a suitable candidate.

After a series of twists and turns, he was able to come up with such a foundation, which can only be described as terrifying.

"Of course, there is another guy worth noting. The Konoha ninja who learned the Eight Gate Dungeon and is called Matt Dai. Remember, his son was your former student in Konoha."

After Shiraishi's reminder, Liuli finally remembered the existence of such a person.

On the night of his defection, Matt Dai's taijutsu skills really impressed people, and he was a taijutsu ninja worth paying attention to.

"This happened before. If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot about this guy."

"Ayane said that after he opens the Seven Gates, his physical skills will become extremely difficult. Please pay attention when encountering them. After all, after a few years, his strength must be stronger than before."

"Is it the legendary door of death? If I have the chance, I would like to see it with my own eyes."

According to legend, a ninja who activates the Eight Gate Armor 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 Demon Country wants to develop, it must touch the cake of the vested interests. And Konoha is the largest vested interest in the shinobi village in the era of one country and one village. Sooner or later, it will come into contact with them.

Up."

Liuli nodded and agreed with Baishi's words.

"It's almost time, let's go. The news of the Fourth Hokage's death will not spread so quickly. The most important thing now is to solve the Blood Mist Sect within Kirigakure and make Yagura the Fourth Mizukage."

After Shiraishi said this, he walked out of the hotel, and Liuli followed him out, heading towards Kirigakure Village.

◎

The vast sea is covered with a gauze-like mist, which is not a bad view, but for those who are new to this country, the view will indeed be affected a little.

Kirigakure Village is located in such a coastal area.

Relying on the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, the entire village was shrouded in light white mist. From a distance, you can only see the huge outline of the village, the tall water tower building, and the dam that intercepts the water.

Compared to being called a village, the area of ​​Kirigakure Village looks more like a bustling metropolis.

Tens of thousands of well-trained ninjas live here, plus countless civilians, providing the village with a large number of new ninjas every year. Even if it encounters a large-scale war, with the size of Kirigakure Village, it can quickly

Recover.

The same is true for ninja villages in other big countries.

Chuunin, who represents the backbone of the force, and jounin, who represents the elite force, are never in short supply.

It is precisely because the Ninja Villages of the five major countries are too powerful and their military strength has increased year by year that there is an insurmountable gap between the Ninja Villages of the smaller countries.

What's more, the leader of the Great Country Ninja Village is a powerful ninja named "Five Shadows".

Each of them can influence the outcome of a war.

However, compared to the other four major country ninja villages, Kirigakure Village is isolated overseas and rarely communicates with mainland countries. It only fought against Iwagakure Village of Earth Country during the first ninja war. At other times,

We have always focused on developing overseas.

Therefore, what happened in this ninja village? It is difficult for the big country ninja village living on the mainland to obtain information about the Kirigakure village.

But today is an unusual day for Kirigakure Village.

The election of the Fourth Mizukage will be held today.

It has been nearly thirty years since the third generation Mizukage ruled Kirigakure. Now that he is old and his series of unlucky moves have caused chaos within Kirigakure, many tragedies have arisen and the village has been shaken.

Many ninjas here were dissatisfied.

It was only because of his orthodox status, coupled with his hard work and hard work over the years, that he did not let everyone explode.

But if it continues to be delayed, it will only make Kirigakure internally more chaotic.

In order to quell the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, the election of the Fourth Mizukage is imminent.

Under the secret promotion of a mysterious undercurrent, the election of the fourth generation Mizukage has nothing to do with the will of the third generation Mizukage himself.

The election meeting of the Fourth Mizukage was held in the large conference room of the Mizukage Building, and the official start time was nine o'clock in the morning.

It is already 8:50, and the meeting will officially start in ten minutes.
To be continued...
