"finished?"

Liuli came over at this time.

"It's over. It went more smoothly than expected. Next, we just have to wait for news from Yunyin."

Shiraishi breathed a sigh of relief and won over Kirigakure. The future layout of the Kingdom of Demons in the ninja world will be much smoother.

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

Liuli mentioned this.

Traditional ninjas do not engage in production. The wages most ninjas earn in daily life, after maintaining their ninja tools and purchasing training resources, 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, the Ninja Village will have to 'lay off' and reduce the number of ninjas, which means that the Ninja Village's military strength will become weaker.

Kirigakure Village is a typical example of this, and a very bad example.

The fundamental reason for the blood mist is that the daimyo and nobles of the Kingdom of Water continue to reduce the military expenditure of Kirigakure Village, which prevents Kirigakure's military power from developing healthily.

As a Mizukage, the first priority is to hope that the Ninja Village will become more prosperous and developed.

For this reason, in order not to reduce the overall military strength of the village when military expenditures have declined significantly, the elite line has begun to be adopted.

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, it was not just the ninja school, but also affected many classes outside the school, leaving Kirigakure Village filled with the smoke and blood of battle.

To a certain extent, it did strengthen the military strength of Kirigakure Village, but it also left behind a very terrible curse.

The spirits of many Kirigakure ninjas have been strongly stimulated, and the suicide and defection rates have increased rapidly. Those who can maintain their sanity have encountered ostracism and various assassinations. In the end, they can only be stationed at the border to escape the persecution of the Blood Mist ninjas.

.

Behind the scenes, there are also shadows of the daimyo and nobles of the Kingdom of Water. They hope that through the change of blood mist, Kirigakure will be turned into a private weapon in their hands, instead of just maintaining a 'cooperative' relationship.

"That's why it's necessary to cooperate with Yagura. In the end, it was the daimyo of the Kingdom of Water and those nobles who pushed Yagura and Kirigakure to our side. I really want to thank them for this

That overestimating ambition helped me a lot."

The matter with Kirigakure is over, Shiraishi no longer needs to stay here, and he takes Ruri back to the Kingdom of Demons.

"sit."

After bidding farewell to Shiraishi, Yagura returned to the village and came to a relatively complete room.

Someone is already waiting for you there.

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

It prevented Yagura from further rioting and allowed him and the Third Mizukage to stop, preventing Kirigakure from falling into even worse chaos.

"Most of the people in the Blood Mist Sect have surrendered, and only a few stubborn forces are still resisting. I believe that the unrest can be completely quelled before sunset today."

Yagura sat opposite Genshi and spoke first.

Master Yuan nodded and said: "Restoring the development of the village as soon as possible is the most critical thing at the moment. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the village can't find a suitable candidate now, I would never support you to become the fourth generation, even if

If you master the three tails, the result will be the same."

The biggest problem in Yagura is that the position is incorrect. After this incident, the topic and controversy in the village will become more and more serious.

Supporting Yagura to become the Fourth Mizukage, the Genshi side is also under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

The most important point is, as Genshi said, among all the ninjas under the age of forty in the village, there is no jounin who surpasses Yagura in ability and strength.

What's more, Yagura has many subordinates. Genshi suspects that Yagura has secretly controlled all the garrison troops in the Kingdom of Water. Including the ninjas in the village, there are at least thousands of them.

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

Instead of doing this, it is better to follow the trend, which not only fills the vacancy of the Fourth Mizukage's position, but also appeases many of Yagura's subordinates, giving them reassurance and proving that the higher-ups will not settle accounts with them in the future.

"It's just a last resort. If Master Yuan wants to train a new Mizukage, you won't be able to do it in less than ten years."

Yagura also knew that Genshi supported him because of the overall interests of Kirigakure, rather than because he really liked him and became Kirigakure's fourth Mizukage.

Yagura is still self-aware of this.

"Before that, Mizukage's position will be temporarily stored with you. Your way of dealing with things is too chaotic. Please pay more attention in the future and don't use violence to solve problems."

Genshi's tone sounded quite dissatisfied with Yagura's previous behavior.

Because it is very troublesome to deal with it later, and once problems arise, it may cause more chaos.

If Mizukage takes over in this way, in the name of orthodoxy, he will be greatly provoked and will set a very bad example for future generations.

And this power of example was brought by Yagura.

"Gentleness is not suitable for today's Kirigakure. To target the Blood Mist Sect, strong medicine must be administered. Genshi, don't you also know that they are secretly colluding with Kumogakure's ninjas? In fact, without me taking action, you would have

At the meeting, let’s put forward a proposal to oppose the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon’s becoming the Fourth Mizukage.”

Yagura understands the reason.

It's just that unlike Master Yuan, he didn't take the overall situation into consideration, but chose to take a sideways approach.

The result of failure is death. If you win, Kirigakure can usher in a new era.

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

But there is no other way to go but this way.

Over the years, he has been observing the ruling system of the Kingdom of Demons, because the daimyo and nobles of the Kingdom of Water 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 called Senju Hashirama.

It's the Ninja God!

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

The evolution of Kirigakure's blood mist is just an accidental mutation in the historical evolution route of ninjas, and cannot be regarded as a universal significance.

Of course, you can also lead Kirigakure again and make peace with the ruling class of the Kingdom of Water...but once something is broken, it is difficult to reunite.

It takes ten or decades for both parties to establish trust, but losing trust often only happens in an instant.

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

Master Yuan sighed.

Yagura was not his favorite candidate for the Fourth Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage has been hiding his ambitions for many years, and has been involved in the village's Three-Tails without anyone noticing, and despite the incomplete research on the Kirigakure Tailed Beast, he has become a perfect Jinchuuriki by training himself.

All these things show that Yagura is a ninja whose aggressiveness is more terrifying than that of the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost.

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

If Yagura hadn't initiated the coup this time, it would be hard for him to believe that there were such outstanding 'ninjas' in Kirigakure.

He failed to detect Yagura's plan in advance and only focused his attention on the Blood Mist Sect. Genshi believed that this was his dereliction of duty.

Otherwise, he could discuss with Yagura in advance and use a gentler method to subvert the ninjas of the Blood Mist faction.

"Being personally monitored by you, the most respected person in the village, is really stressful. However, this is also the consequence of my own fault. As for the next generation of Mizukage, I already have a good candidate. In fact, I also know that I

This fourth generation Mizukage will not sit there for long, and it is impossible for him to retire at the age of sixty or seventy like the third generation did."

No matter how much you cover up the matter of improper positioning, you will still be criticized.

Even in the position of the Fourth Mizukage, whether he can work until he is forty is still a question.

"who is it?"

Yuan opened his eyes slightly and stared at Yagura's baby-like smiling face.

"Terrumi Mei among the ANBU, she is absolutely loyal to Kirigakure and has not been swayed by the bad atmosphere of the Blood Mist Sect. She is proficient in the changes of the four chakra attributes of fire, thunder, earth and water, and has both melting and boiling escapes.

The blood will inherit the boundaries, and if you focus on cultivating it, it will be enough to become a solid rock for the village."

Yagura recommended this candidate to Genshi.

Genshi nodded slightly. Terumi Mei knew that he was a double-blooded ninja who was extremely rare in the ninja world. He was already a jounin in the village at a young age and was very powerful.

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

His original intention was to leave the position of the Fourth Mizukage vacant, let himself take the helm of Kirigakure, slowly squeeze 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 this was disrupted by Yagura, forcing him to change his plan.

"I will train her personally."

The snake-shaped crutch in Yuan Shizuo's hand is more like some kind of unquestionable attitude.

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

Yagura smiled slightly.

Standing up from his seat, the conversation was almost over, and Yagura walked outside.
To be continued...
