Chapter 18: Mizukage-sama

It was another rainy day, and after dealing with the government affairs in the village, the fifth generation of Mizukage Terumi stretched her waist and turned her head to look out the window.

There was nothing but rain and mist, and after staring out the window for a moment, she withdrew her gaze in displeasure.

It has only been five years since the Mio Disaster, and although the destroyed buildings have long since been rebuilt, the lost population cannot be replenished in just five years.

Thanks to the long-standing policy of locking the country and closing the village, the information about the three-tailed disaster in Wuyin Village has not been leaked. The Land of Water is adjacent to the Land of Thunder and the Land of Fire, whether it is the Land of Thunder with strong military power or the Land of Fire at the head of the Five Great Powers, it is not a simple existence, if they find out that the Land of Water is weak, these two beasts will definitely divide the interests that the Land of Water cannot protect after its weakness.

'It's really hard to do,' he sighed, and Terumi paced around her office.

Wuyin Village is the village where the ninja family is most entrenched. In the village, the patriarchs of each family have great power, and can even unite to fight against Mizukage. This situation was resolved under the large-scale extermination of the four generations of Mizukage who were manipulated. Of course, Terumi is grateful to the masked man who manipulated the Mizukage.

After the death of her grandfather, the excellent Terumi naturally served as the patriarch of the Ninja Village clan, Terumi clan. As a result of the Misfortune of the Three Tails, the patriarchs of the various clans also united unprecedentedly in support of Terumi's rule.

The policies of reform have been implemented after consultations, and the Wuyin Village in Zhaomei's mind is also being built little by little.

Despite this, the new policy implemented by Terumi was met with the help of a few diehards. The core of the so-called New Deal is to emulate Konoha's leading education policy.

Prior to this, the ninja training mode in the Fog Hidden Village was a selection mode. Select a small number of outstanding ninjas among the newcomers of the large number of ninja professors, and let them form their own teams to complete the tasks of the ninja village to grow, and there is no teacher to lead the team, and the team is only the middle ninja who graduated and grew up in previous years.

Unlike Konoha, the Fog Hidden Village, which is just an island country, can only use human lives to fill the lack of economy and develop an elite ninja route.

And the blood mist policy of the four generations of Mizukage is an extreme manifestation of this elite model. Concentrate people on a small island, and finally reach the required number by killing other people, this strength of the selection is the root of the dark part of Konoha has, but the Fog Hidden Village uses it to select the lower ninja.

The patriarchs of the Fog Hidden Village used the waste of ninja resources as an excuse to oppose Terumi Ming, whom they had been supporting. Yes, this kind of policy will greatly weaken the military power of the Water Country, and the Fog Hidden Village, which has lost the elite ninja cultivation mode, will lose its powerful military deterrence.

Shangnin is originally a valuable resource of the ninja village, once the mode of leading the team is adopted, then at least two-thirds of the upper ninja in the ninja village cannot take on the task of A-level or above. Because it is impossible for the upper shinobi to ensure the safety of students under the intensity of A-level tasks.

In this way, Shinobi Village will lose a lot of income. Unlike the powerful Konoha tree, the economy has always been the weakness of Fog Hidden Village.

But Terumi felt that this was the path that Fog Hidden Village had to go through to a better future.

At present, the ninja education and team leadership model she implements has only received half of the support in the ninja village. And as the fifth generation of Mizukage, she must unite the ninja village.

"Maybe tomorrow it's time to talk to the Ghost Lantern Patriarch" The Ghost Lantern Patriarch was not involved in the conspiracy of the Three-Tails Disaster. This long-established water country has always sat firmly in the Diaoyutai. There are many talents in the clan, and now the most famous is the dead ghost lamp full moon. If the ghost lantern full moon hadn't died, then it wouldn't have been her who had ascended to the position of Mizukage.

Now the Ghost Lantern clan is the leader of the old school in the village. Although it is also for the development of Fog Hidden Village, their ideas are contrary to Terumi.

With a click, Terumi Ming, who had made up her mind, stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the hat on her table for a moment, gently rubbing the water characters printed on the hat.

Retracting her hand, she turned and left the room where Mizukage was dealing with government affairs.

"Five generations of Mizukage-sama. Said the ninja who was guarding next to the door.

With a gentle smile on his face, he glanced approvingly at the loyal guard ninja. Terumi walked out the door.

The rain condensed and flowed down the eaves of the house, and Terumi took a light blue monochrome umbrella from the umbrella bucket by the door.

The open umbrella made a clattering sound, and Terumi walked into the rain with the umbrella in this way.

In the land of water in spring, there is no shortage of such rainy weather. Spring is one of the rare times in Fog Hidden Village that is not shrouded in mist.

Through the rain curtain, Terumi could see the newly built houses on the east side of the village. There had been a ruin, and a giant turtle-shaped beast had whipped its flat tail and rode the waves, tearing and roaring.

After many years, that scene still appears in Terumi's mind from time to time.

Terumi thought of the young man in the white kimono again, and although she didn't know why she thought of him, it suddenly appeared in her mind.

The long black hair flying in the hurricane, the fluttering corners of the clothes, the arrogant and cold expression, everything can still be recalled in detail.

"Five generations of Mizukage-sama!"

Walking through the rain, Terumi heard someone calling for herself, and she came back to her senses to see a group of young ninjas wearing the forehead guards of the Rain Ninja Village.

"Ah, it's Yuko, Sawamura, and Chojuro. Did you come back from a mission? With a constant smile, Terumi greeted her.

"Yes, the A-class mission was successfully completed. The girl named Yuko said with a red face, looking like she was waiting for praise. "Very good, you guys. ”

As she spoke, Terumi turned her gaze to Chojuro, who had been blushing and holding an umbrella.

"Chojuro. She screamed softly.

"Ah, yes. The other party was overly nervous.

"How well do you know flounder? ”

"It's like... Probably, maybe... I got the hang of it. Dodging his gaze, Chojuro said.

"Alas~ you have to be a little more confident, Chojuro. You're the heir to flounder. I have to take on the name of the owner of the ninja sword. ”

"How do you feel about wanting you to be my bodyguard?"

"Alas~ Guard!" Yuko, who was stunned, reminded Nagashiro with her elbow that she agreed.

"Thank you for your trust... If you want to do the work of the guards, I may ・・・・・" Cheeks flushed, and Chojuro frowned unconfidently.

"Hurry up and agree, you idiot" Yuko's ability on the side was anxious.

"It's decided, Nagajuro, you won't refuse me, right? Let's go and report to Qing tomorrow. Terumi said and took another step.

"Goodbye, Chojuro, Yuko and Sawamura. ”

"Goodbye, Mizukage-sama of the fifth generation. ”

After only a few steps away, Terumi heard Yuko's suppressed screams of excitement, and she raised the corners of her mouth and continued to walk towards her home.

Pushing open the door, hanging the wet coat on the hanger, putting the umbrella in the umbrella bucket, and turning on the light switch, Terumi noticed that something was wrong in an instant.

The floor shimmered in the light of the lamp, which was a wet mark of rain, and it seemed that there was an uninvited guest in the house.

The corners of Terumi's mouth curled, and she was full of interest.

She heard the noise of her bedroom, and when she walked into the room, the uninvited guest was standing by the window.

He had no intention of hiding, his hands behind his back, and he looked out the window at the rain. Terumi had seen the white kimono that the man was wearing, and she knew who he was.

"It's so rude to go into a girl's bedroom casually. "Sitting casually on the edge of the bed, I will be able to walk in the dark.

"Well, I'm sorry. Yagami turned around in response.

The terrifying face made Terumi frown, "Did you let this pervert of Orochimaru do some terrible experiments?" ”

"You guessed it wrong. Yagami touched the white scales on his face with his fingers, "This is just a small mistake in my pursuit of power. ”

"Why don't you stay in Otoshinobi Village, why don't you come to Fog Hidden Village? ”

"You don't welcome me?" Moving to the chair next to the dresser, Yagamiki sat down in front of Terumi Ming.

"If you're here, it's just because you're in trouble. ”

"That's true. Licking his tongue over his lips, Yagami said, "I need to know where Nakayoshi, the ninja of your village, is?"

"Nakayoshi, what are you looking for him? He went on a mission with the graduating students. ”

"Someone wants his life. ”

"Who?"

"The S-class traitor of the Fire Country, Beiliuhu. ”
