Chapter 19: Coup d'état
Fog Hidden Village, Mizukage Building, inside Yakura's office. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A middle-aged man with a serious face pushed open the door and walked in, looking at the people in the room quietly, his brows furrowed.
Yakura sat at the top as usual, with his personal bodyguard Kiyamaru standing behind him, and the other four guards standing at the four corners of the room, along with many of the village's shinobi in the seat.
"Elder Osaka, sit here." Yakura said lightly and beckoned.
Osaka Kaftori silently walked to the lower seat of Yakura and sat down.
"Advisor Yoko, what's going on?" Osaka Kaftori asked in a low voice to a female ninja next to him.
Yoko didn't squint and said softly, "I don't know." ”
A number of ninjas came in one after another, filling their seats, and then Yakura stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
Everyone present had a straight face and sounded intently.
Yakura looked around and said in a loud voice: "During this time, I carefully studied the shadows of other villages, and thought about the political strategy of our Wuyin Village, and found something very interesting......"
Everyone secretly speculated in their hearts about what Yakura meant, and no one spoke.
"Although Wuyin Village is one of the five great ninja villages, you should also know that the strength of our village can only be regarded as the countdown, the inherent defects of strategic location, the constraints of geographical conditions, and the lack of concentration of power of the village leaders......"
"Ahem......" Osaka Kazatori coughed heavily and said: "I understand what Mizukage-sama means, the conditions of the Fog Hidden Village are indeed a little worse, our Water Country is an island country, and it is of course very difficult to do what the Fire Country is, however, as one of the five great ninja villages, we also have our own advantages, and it is really difficult for Lord Water Shadow to revitalize the Fog Hidden Village during his tenure." ”
Hearing Osaka Kaftori's words, everyone laughed in their hearts.
Although Yakura's words were said tactfully, the people here were either advisors or elders or heads of various departments, elite shinobi, they saw it very clearly, the most important thing in Yakura's words was the last sentence, the lack of concentration of power among the village leaders, that is, Yakura wanted to take back some of his power to ensure that his political ambitions were not constrained, and Osaka Kaftori This was completely deliberately misinterpreted.
However, no one has yet realized the seriousness of the matter this time.
Yakura said expressionlessly: "No, I mean, all the elders and advisors are hard workers, and some of the usual workloads are too much, and I, the Mizukage, am very unhappy, as the Mizukage, I am responsible for this responsibility, so I will hand it over to me in the future." ”
"What!" Osaka Kaftori looked surprised and subconsciously stood up.
"What's the situation? How could this suddenly happen? ”
Osaka Kazatori realized that something was wrong, and said with a frown: "Mizukage-sama has praised it falsely, since you have become the elder of the village, then you should pay for the village, so I don't have to worry about you." “
At this time, Yoko next to Osaka Kaftori gently patted him on the back, motioned for him to sit down, and said lightly: "Yakura-sama is Mizukage, the supreme leader of the village, there is no such thing as a lack of concentration of power, our existence is just to assist you, Mizukage-sama, you think too much." ”
"Really?" Yakura was noncommittal, and did not mention the matter again, and looked at a white-haired man who had been bowing his head and not speaking.
"Mr. Immortal, what do you think about this?"
Taketori is immortal, just look at his surname, you can know that this is a member of the Taketori clan, and he is also the representative sent by the Taketori clan in this meeting.
Taketori Immortal raised his head and said coldly: "I'm not from Wuyin Village, I don't have any opinions, of course your meeting is arranged by you, the Mizukage, yourself." ”
"Oh? That's fine. Yakura smiled faintly and fell silent.
The people in the audience looked at each other, not understanding what Yakura was thinking.
After a long time, Yakura spoke.
"In this case, in the future, the Taketori clan will belong to our Wuyin Village."
Click! Taketori's palm tightened, and the armrest of the chair was crushed by him at once, and his eyes stared at Yakura.
"I don't understand, what the hell does Mizukage-sama mean?"
The Taketori clan is located outside the Fog Hidden Village, and the relationship with the Fog Hidden Village is very delicate, on the one hand, the strength of this family is very strong, all the members are battle maniacs, and their skills are extraordinary, and they have always been the object of the Fog Hidden Village's recruitment. But on the other hand, the Taketori clan didn't want to participate in some political struggles at all, so they turned a blind eye to the olive branch of Wuyin Village, which made Wuyin Village a headache.
On weekdays, the meetings of the Fog Hidden Village are only attended by the people in the village, and the Taketori clan does not have the identity and qualifications to participate, but this time it is a bit weird, Yakura actually invited the Taketori clan, which can be regarded as the representative of the blood stain family within the rule of the Fog Hidden Village, to participate.
Originally, the Taketori clan thought that this time was the same as before, it was the Fog Hidden Village that wanted to give some benefits and then test their ideas, so they sent Immortal, a member of the Immortal who was not too strong, but had a good mind, as a representative, in fact, they didn't want to pay attention to the Fog Hidden Village at all, but now it seems that this time it was a little difficult, and the Fog Hidden Village directly ignored their face and invited them to join directly.
For a while, Taketori Immortal also became cautious, and said euphemistically: "I can't be the master of this matter, if Mizukage-sama must need it, please talk to our patriarch in person in the future." ”
"Oh......" Yakura replied, but he couldn't see what it meant, and just closed his eyes.
Osaka Kaftori was restless now, his mind was confused by Yakura's jumping moves, and he gently touched Yoko and said, "Consultant Yoko, do you feel ...... Spooky? ”
"It's you who find it weird." Yoko looked straight ahead, looking unfazed, "Mizukage-sama wants to make some achievements, it's not a big deal, some of our departments in Wuyin Village are indeed a bit redundant." ”
"You ......" Osaka Kazatori snorted and held his breath and fell silent.
Ninja is originally a profession that worships force, but since it has gathered together to form a large organization such as the Five Great Ninja Villages, it is necessary to have a leader and various government departments, and it is inevitable that various political struggles will arise. Of course, this kind of struggle cannot be seen as a struggle for power for personal gain, but as a necessary means to ensure that one's ambitions can be realized. Everyone who can be a shinobi is the elite of the elite, the ministers of those departments, the heads of authoritative organs, no one wants their work to be criticized, and among them, the shadow of a village is the most.
To be able to become a shadow, that is, to stand at the pinnacle of power and force in this world, generally speaking, the elder or advisor only gives advice to the shadow, and has no actual rights, but, as a figure who can influence the shadow's decision-making within a certain range, they can be seen as a supplement to the shadow on the one hand, and a constraint on the shadow on the other hand. They need to ensure the normal operation of the village, and they can't let Shadow Hu come, which determines that they must have a cool heart and mind, which just hinders some of Shadow's decisions, although it will not cause any loss to the village, but some opportunities will be lost in vain, but it can't be said that it is their fault, after all, they are responsible for the village, and they can't mess around as soon as they get up.
There are two advisors around the shadow of Konoha and Sand Hidden Village, and there is no elder's council, and the thunder shadow of Yunyin Village directly grasps all the power in his hands, which can be said to be unified, or it can be said to be bent on going his own way, the shadow of Rock Hidden Village is very prestigious, basically he has the final say, only the Fog Hidden Village of the Water Country, because the national strength is the weakest, the geographical conditions are not good, and major decisions must be made more carefully, so there are two kinds of organs in the village: advisors and elders.
"Although I also support the elimination of these bloated institutions, Mizukage-sama, don't mess around......" Yoko thought silently and sighed.
At this time, Yakura stood up and said softly: "If a village wants to develop better, then all kinds of constraints must be eradicated!" Whether it's those redundant departments, or the bloodstained family members who occupy most of the positions, or the families like the Taketori clan who don't listen to the dispatch and wander outside the village, there is no need for these things to exist! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Extra departments! Bloodstained Family Members! Such a family as the Taketori clan!
Mizukage is going to carry out a coup d'état! In this situation, whoever comes out on top will die!
Syllable! Taketori slapped his palm on the arm of the chair, stood up, and shouted, "Mizukage! What do you mean! The relationship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan is much better than that between us, the princess of the Uzumaki clan is still the wife of the first Hokage, and they have not said that they have to force the Uzumaki clan to join Konoha, why do you have to ask our Taketori clan to join the Fog Hidden Village? ”
"It's not interesting, the country of fire has the practice of the country of fire, this is the village of fog, and I am the water shadow." Yakura said lightly, stretching out his hand.
"As a ninja in the land of water, he disobeys the orders of the Fog Hidden Village...... Take him down! ”
Swish! A figure instantly stepped in front of Taketori Immortal, and he drew his sword and slashed!
When the Shangnin of the Fog Hidden Village was still struggling with whether he should come out or not, the guard "Kiya Maru" in Yakura did it directly!
Taketori Immortal didn't say a word, his cuffs shook, and a slender white bone blade was exposed, just like that, he slashed horizontally against his arm.
Although Taketori Immortal is one of the few people in the family who can see the general trend clearly, after all, he is still a ninja with the blood of the Taketori clan in his body, and he has a fighting heart, and now when he sees someone doing something to him, he doesn't care that he is still in the territory of Fog Hidden Village, and he turns his face blatantly.
While! The long knife slashed at the blade of the white bone sword, making a sound of gold and iron, and then, "Kiyamaru" turned over in a relay, and his body jumped to the top of Taketori Immortal's head, and the palm of his right hand flipped and pressed directly on his head.
"The bones left behind by the bloodstain owner of the Taketori clan?" "Kiya Maru" exclaimed, and with a single scoop of his left hand, he held the elbow of Taketori Immortal's counterattack.
"Humph!" Taketori was unmoved, his body was slightly off, and with a wrong step, he forked into the legs of "Kiyamaru", and the next moment he was about to break his leg bones.
But "Kiyamaru" showed a hint of a smile, bent his thighs, and pressed directly against Taketori's immortal joints, pressing his body. Then, "Kiya Maru" pressed his right hand violently.
Peng! The floor suddenly cracked, and Taketori was directly pressed to his knees by this palm.
"Damn!" Immortal roared, his hands pressed to the ground, trying to prop himself up.
Peng! There was another loud bang, and the floor exploded completely, and a cloud of dust and smoke filled the air, obscuring everyone's view.
Swish! A dark shadow flashed, and "Kiyamaru" returned behind Yakura.
The dust fell, and the situation in the field was clearly seen by everyone.
"It's a strong ......"
"I didn't think I was so good before......"
In the middle of the field, Taketori Immortal lay on the broken floor, and an obvious palm print on the back of his head was actually pressed by the "Kiya Maru" and passed out.
"The Taketori clan has always been a hidden danger in my Fog Hidden Village, and now, in the name of the fourth generation of Mizukage, I hereby announce that the Taketori clan is attempting to rebel, and a wanted warrant will be issued on the same day!"
"It's so ruthless......"
"Looks like it's real this time."
Everyone talked about it, but no one said anything, after all, it was not his companion, so there was no need to come forward.
But the next moment, Yakura's words caused an uproar in the field.
"In addition, Wuyin Village will cancel the existence of the Council of Elders from today, in order to avoid bloodstained families like the Taketori clan, the members of each department must be redistributed, and each family will also be investigated by the dark department of Wuyin Village, if there is a family dissatisfied, vainly trying to resist, and the Taketori clan will be guilty of the same crime!"
"Mizukage-sama!" As soon as Yakura's words spoke, Osaka Kazatori stood up and said with a sad face: "This can't be done! That's not going to work! ”
Yakura asked coldly, "What?" What is your opinion? ”
"Those bloodstained families occupy a large part of the village's armed forces, and if we do this, we will ...... in Wuyin Village."
"You're against it?" Yakura didn't listen at all and interrupted Osaka Kaftori's words.
Osaka Kazatori gritted his teeth and said heavily: "Against...... I oppose Mizukage-sama's decision! This is wrong! Absolutely not allowed! ”
Yakura nodded and looked at the Shinobi present: "What about you?" Are you also against it? ”
No one spoke, and everyone stared at the bridge of their noses as if they hadn't heard Yakura's words.
"What about you? Yoko Advisor? Yakura looked at Yoko again.
Yoko said stiffly, "I obey Mizukage-sama's orders. ”
"Good!" Yakura said lightly, stretching out his hand and pointing at Osaka Kazatori.
"Huh?" Osaka Kazatori was startled by this familiar finger, and his body immediately tensed.
Sure enough, Yakura's next sentence came out.
"Now, I suspect that the former Fog Hidden Village Elder Osaka Kaze is collaborating with the enemy, hindering the development of the village, and vainly trying to influence Mizukage's decision-making and take him down!"
Swish! A black shadow burst out and stood in front of Osaka Kaftori, raising his hand.
"Hey......" Osaka Kaftori didn't resist at all and hung his head.
Seeing his appearance, "Kiyamaru" smiled, and it was not difficult for him, he reached out and lifted him behind Yakura.
"It's decided! Act on the appeal decision! Meeting! ”
