Chapter 52: So What
At some point, dark clouds drifted through the sky, obscuring the sky, and the light suddenly dimmed.
There was a rattling sound all around, the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and plucking the leaves.
In addition, there is no noise in the square where tens of thousands of people gather.
The air was paved with an unusually dignified, oppressive atmosphere.
It's like a prelude to a storm.
"Just ask."
On the high platform, the four generations of Mizukage Yakura had no waves on his face, without the slightest expression.
He is a human being, but to everyone he feels, he is more like a detached and unearthly ...... Gods and demons!
The era of blood mist arose because of him.
He sat high above the power of Mizukage, single-handedly creating the terror that hung over the Kirishinobi Village, staining countless human lives.
His prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone.
People lowered their heads, afraid to look at them.
"Mizukage-sama, the elimination exam was originally the village's way of selecting the elite to become the ninja sword seven. But can you give an explanation for why you suddenly made it popular in the general graduation exam seven years ago? ”
At the beginning, the Blood Mist Elimination Tournament was not set up for ordinary people.
During the first generation of Mizukage, the Mist Ninja Village gathered the strength of the entire village to create seven powerful weapons, each of which has the ability to greatly improve the strength of the user.
In order to encourage development, it was decided that whoever could defeat the knife wielder would become the master of the ninja sword.
As a result, the prestige of the Ninja Sword Seven began to spread in the ninja world.
Later, after the baptism of war and the transfer of high-level power in the Kiri Ninja Village.
In order to cultivate henchmen, the second generation of Mizukage took back the ninja sword of the d-wielder who fell during the war.
Subsequently, the second generation collected a large number of orphans in the territory of the water country as the reserve master of the ninja sword.
And the conditions for them to become the official owner of the ninja sword are:
Kill your companions and become the strongest of them all.
It was also since that generation of the Ninja Sword Seven that the prestige of the Seven of the Mist Ninja Village began to shock the ninja world.
However, this method of selection is only a way to select the elite seven, and the brutal bloody elimination exam has nothing to do with ordinary people and the graduation exam of the Mist Ninja Village School.
It's always been like this.
It wasn't until after the Third Shinobi War that the fourth generation of Mizukage Yakura suddenly changed everything.
Knockout exams spread from the elite seven to schools.
At the beginning of the end of World War III, both the family and other ninja forces in the ninja village were reduced by the war, resulting in a situation where the four generations of Mizukage Yakura were dominant.
Later, while the elimination test was popularized in schools, Yakura did not get mad enough to reach out to the ninja's home, as long as it was a ninja's relative, his family had the right to go to the school to study for the exam.
Therefore, the popularization of the policy did not cause much resistance.
Even if some people couldn't bear it, those dissent dissipated under the bloody repression.
As a result, that policy lasted for seven years, and it is still today.
No one dared to resist before, and there was no capital and strength to resist, so most people pretended to turn a blind eye.
But now, things are different.
Terumi has prepared everything, and the policy implemented seven years ago has become her best problem.
If Yakura can't give a reasonable explanation, then she will have the most favorable momentum.
Seven years have passed, and the people's resentment has accumulated to the point where it is about to explode, and if it is not handled well, it is enough to blow Yakura to pieces.
"Well, didn't I explain it?"
Yakura said lightly, without the slightest fluctuation on his face.
"Sacrifice is necessary, everything is for the strength of the Fog Ninja Village, and the survival rate of the ninjas who walk out of the school."
"However, Mizukage-sama, the seven-year policy has not brought strength to the Kirist Ninja Village."
Terumi said quietly.
"The war is over, but the number of ninjas in the village has changed from more than 20,000 to less than 20,000, and the number of new ninjas is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of people who have died in the graduation exam in the past seven years has reached at least a thousand."
"Originally, these thousands of people should have been able to help the Misty Ninja Village, but because of that policy, they all died in this meaningless consumption."
Silence, silent silence.
Anyone, even the stupidest fools.
I can also hear the strong irony in Zhaomei's words.
How dare she? How dare you oppose the four generations of Mizukage head-on?
For many years, those who opposed it were purged afterwards.
Could it be that Terumi has forgotten all those who died in one spy case after another?
Yakura is a mountain in the hearts of many people, a bloody and heavy mountain.
Those cruel decrees overwhelmed everyone, which also left an indelible shadow in the hearts of many people.
God, is it going to change?
Terumi is also a celebrity in the Kiri Ninja Village, and she has a good and general reputation in the Ninja Village, otherwise she would not have become the fifth generation of Mizukage after driving away Yakura.
Zhaomei's attack caught many people off guard and was stunned.
"Oh, that's right...... It turned out that thousands of people had died. ”
On the high platform, in the eyes of everyone, Yakura clenched his hands into fists and propped himself on his chin, revealing a look of sudden contemplation.
Then, he raised his head and smiled inexplicably at everyone.
"But...... So what. ”
The naked mockery and playful laughter were imprinted in everyone's eyes.
Rumble!
It was as if there was a thunderclap in the flat ground, and everyone froze, their faces full of disbelief.
The shadow of the Misty Ninja Village, the existence in charge of the fate and future of the whole village, would say such a thing!
Everyone wondered if they had heard something wrong, but the reactions of those around them had already told them everything.
It's true.
It is possible for one person to hear it wrong, and it is possible for a dozen people, but thousands, tens of thousands of people, mixed with all kinds of ninjas, it is absolutely impossible!
A shadow is indifferent to his village.
I didn't pay the slightest attention to the policy promulgated by myself, which caused thousands of people and the death of children!
Yakura's indifference, his business is not his own business, and he gave all the villagers of the Misty Ninja Village a heavy blow!
The crowd is outraged!
The flames of anger burned, spreading.
There is no doubt that after today, Yakura will no longer be the Mizukage of the Fog Ninja Village.
In the midst of the surging public sentiment, Terumi suddenly sensed a deep uneasiness.
Things have been getting better, and there is no chance of a comeback.
However, his reaction was too strange.
It's so strange that it seems that it knows that it is going to fail, and it doesn't care about everything.
But is the person behind the scenes really giving up so easily?
What the hell is he planning!
