"Bo Feng Shuimen is dead."

The next day, in an inn in a town in the Land of Water, Shiraishi said the news that had just been sent from Konoha in an indifferent tone.

The exact battle damage has not yet been counted, so Shiraishi doesn't know how many ninjas Konoha sacrificed in order to suppress the Nine-Tails.

Of course, the battle damage of the rest of the ninjas is not in Shiraishi's consideration.

The point is that Bo Feng Shuimen is dead, and in Bai Shi's opinion, none of the thousands of Konoha ninjas has brought him more pressure than Bo Feng Shuimen.

Hearing Shiraishi say the news, Ruri was also slightly stunned, she knew that Shiraishi used Nagato to attack Konoha, but she didn't expect the other party to make the movement so big.

Hokage's death is not a trivial matter that can be brushed aside.

Konoha is probably in chaos right now.

"It seems that the power of the eye of reincarnation should not be underestimated."

Shiraishi knew that Ruri must have misunderstood something, and said, "It's not what you think, Ruri." Although the cause of Bo Feng Shuimen's death is still uncertain, it is most likely that he was not killed in battle. ”

"Really?"

Ruri has little interest in this.

The cause of Watergate's death was a trivial matter of no importance to her.

First, although she was a Konoha ninja in the past, she had never had any communication, and now she is standing on the opposite side of Konoha and the death of Watergate, after being surprised, there is no wave in her heart.

It's just the death of an enemy who has nothing to do with him.

There are also regrets, that is, they have never been able to have a one-on-one fair fight with a powerful ninja like Mizumon.

This opportunity was not available before, and it is even less likely to be such an opportunity after Watergate died.

"But then, this guy died at your hands twice."

Thinking of this, Ruri laughed with interest.

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

Coupled with this death, it was the second time that Baishi had shot at Bo Feng Shuimen.

"Hey, don't button my hat for this kind of thing, it's not me who killed Bo Fengshuimen this time."

Shiraishi wants to clear up the relationship and prove that this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.

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

"I just provided information, and how to use that information is not something I can control."

By this time, Shiraishi was still denying that the person who killed Watergate a second time was not his own.

After all, what kind of consequences will happen if the information is given to others, Shiraishi himself could not have predicted.

He didn't have much confidence in Nagato's use of the Nine-Tails Riot to get rid of Bo Feng Shuimen from the beginning.

It can only be said that Nagato did a very beautiful job, and Shiraishi was not dissatisfied in the slightest.

As far as the result is concerned, even if a ninja in Konoha does not die, as long as the yellow flash of the water gate is sacrificed, then the plan is not a failure, and it can be said that it is a complete victory.

"Even so, Konoha's power is still not to be underestimated. Although the strength of the three generations of Hokage has declined, it has also retained a bit of the style of its peak, and the two advisors of the same generation, the leader of the roots, Shimura Danzo, are also first-class ninjas. What's more, Konoha still has a powerful faction like Sannin. ”

Liuli clasped her hands in front of her chest and poured cold water on Shiraishi, telling him not to relax his vigilance against Konoha just because Bo Feng Shuimen died.

In the ninja world, because of relaxation and carelessness, there are not a few people who capsize in the gutter.

"Of course I understand that. Compared with the three generations of Hokage and others of the older generation, the existence of the three ninjas should naturally be paid attention to. However, Tsunade-sensei's strength is well known to me, and apart from medical ninjutsu, her strength is not enough to pose much of a threat to us. The remaining two three ninjas are the key. ”

Shiraishi's tone was a little more solemn.

"Jiraiya and Orochimaru?"

"That's right. Regardless of the beginning, Orochimaru is an all-round genius ninja. The three schools of ninja body illusion have no shortcomings, and they have both the huge psychic beasts of the Dragon Cave, and they have strong scientific research capabilities and command abilities, plus a cautious personality...... Even if Kakashi had been in contact with him, he hadn't found any useful information so far. ”

It can be said that he is a ninja with no weaknesses.

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

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 great disadvantage.

It's like a poisonous snake that can't be killed, giving people a fatal blow at a critical time.

"Maybe after Bo Feng Shuimen dies, he will immediately take up the post of the fifth Hokage."

Ruri nodded, Orochimaru was indeed a difficult ninja.

"Yes, it's no surprise that Orochimaru is the fifth Hokage, and in the election of the fifth Hokage, no one in Konoha is Orochimaru's opponent now...... But taking out a fourth-generation Hokage is already the limit. If you want to target the big snake pill under the protection of Konoha, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. On top of that, we still have too little information about Orochimaru, and we haven't had much contact with him in the past. ”

Shiraishi sighed.

sighed that Konoha was really full of talents, the three generations of Hokage abdicated, the fourth generation of Hokage sacrificed, and the fifth generation of Hokage immediately had a suitable candidate.

A series of tosses, and such a background can only be described as terrible.

"Of course, there's one more guy to note. The Konoha ninja who learned the Eight Gates Dunjia is called Maite Dai. Remember his son, who was your former student in Konoha. ”

After such a reminder from Baishi, Liuli also remembered such a personal existence.

On the night of his defection, Maite Dai's physical skills did make people feel like they were shining, and he was a physical ninja worth noting.

"Yes, there has been such a thing. You don't say it, I almost forgot about this guy. ”

"Ayane said that after he opened the Seven Gates, the physical technique would become extremely tricky, so pay attention to it when you encounter it. After all, after a few years, his strength is definitely stronger than before. ”

"The legendary Death's Door? If I had the chance, I'd like to see it for myself. ”

Legend has it that the ninja who opens the Eight Gates Dunjia Array will gain unrivaled strength in a short period of time, and I don't know if it's true or not.

"There will be such opportunities in the future. If the country of ghosts wants to develop, it must touch the cake of vested interests. And Konoha is the biggest ninja village vested interest in the era of one country and one village, and sooner or later he will run into them. ”

Ruri nodded, agreeing with Shiraishi's words.

"It's almost time, let's go. The news of the death of the fourth generation Hokage has not spread so quickly, and the most important thing now is to solve the Blood Mist Sect inside the fog and make Yakura the fourth generation of Mizukage. ”

After saying this, Shiraishi walked towards the outside of the hotel, and Ruri also went out with him, heading in the direction of Wuyin Village.

◎

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

Wuyin Village is located in such a seaside area.

Leaning against the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, the whole village is shrouded in a pale white mist, and from a distance, only the huge outline of the village can be seen, the towering water tower buildings, and the dam that intercepts the water.

Compared to the name of the village, the area of Wuyin Village looks more like a bustling metropolis.

There are tens of thousands of well-trained ninjas living here, plus countless civilians, who provide a large number of ninja troops for the village every year, and even if they encounter a large-scale war, with the size of the Fog Hidden Village, they can recover quickly.

The same goes for the ninja villages of the rest of the big countries.

There is no shortage of the middle ninja that represents the backbone of the force, and the upper ninja that represents the elite force.

It is precisely because the ninja villages of the five major countries are too strong, and the military strength has increased year by year, and there is an insurmountable gap with the ninja villages of small countries.

What's more, the leader of the Great Ninja Village is a powerful ninja who is known as the 'Five Shadows'.

Each of them can make or break a war.

However, compared to the other four great ninja villages, the fog hidden village is isolated overseas, rarely communicates with mainland countries, and only during the first ninja war, it has fought with the Iwayin Village of the land country, and other times, it has been concentrating on overseas development.

Therefore, what happened in this ninja village, it was difficult for the big ninja village living on the mainland to obtain information about the fog hidden village.

However, today is an unusual day for Wuyin Village.

The election of the four generations of Mizukage will be held today.

The third generation of Mizukage has ruled the fog for nearly thirty years, and now he is old, coupled with his series of faint moves, which has caused chaos within the fog hidden village, resulting in many tragedies, which has made many ninjas in the village dissatisfied.

It's just because of his orthodox identity, coupled with his conscientious work over the years, that he didn't let everyone break out.

But if it drags on for a long time, it will only make the interior of the fog more chaotic.

In order to appease the discontent in everyone's hearts, the election of the four generations of Mizukage is imminent.

Secretly driven by a mysterious undercurrent, the election of the fourth generation of Mizukage has nothing to do with the will of the third generation of Mizukage himself.

The election meeting of the four generations of Mizukage was held in a large conference room in the Mizukage Building, and the official start time was 9 a.m.

It's 8:50 a.m., and the meeting has 10 minutes to go.

But at this moment, the participants in the meeting have basically arrived.

Three generations of Mizukage, Mizukage's secretary Goji Tachibana Yakura, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost and the Tongkusa Wild Bait of the Shinobi Knife Seven, and the rest of the high-level, there are more than 20 people in total.

"That guy doesn't seem to have arrived? What's wrong? ”

A high-ranking shinobi pointed to an empty seat, questioning.

Loquat Shizo is the contemporary ninja sword seven, the holder of the beheading sword, and is also one of the few elite ninja in Wuyin Village, plus the natural influence of the ninja seven, there are also many followers in the village. Although that force is not very strong, it cannot be completely ignored.

"He chose to abstain from the vote of Shizang, he is stationed at the border at this time, and he does not plan to participate in this Mizukage election meeting."

The Broadsword Shark Muscle Bearer, the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost, answered the other party's question.

"Really? I didn't expect that there are only two of you left in our village's famous ninja sword seven. ”

looked at the watermelon mountain puffer ghost and the wild bait man with emotion.

"Don't worry, as long as I become the fourth generation of Mizukage, the ninja sword seven will be automatically completed soon."

The puffer fish ghost grinned, and it was inevitable that he would win the position of the fourth generation of Mizukage.

After waiting for so many years, this is the moment he has been waiting for.

"But Kuriya Kushimaru and Shihachi Muri were killed by Konoha traitor Hinata Ayane, and the long knife, stitches, and blasting knife droplets are missing, and it is not easy to take them back."

"Yes, that Hinata Ayane, it is said that even the four generations of Thunder Shadow of Yunyin are not her opponents."

The ninja swords held by the seven ninja swords, each of which has special abilities, and now they have lost two at once, and they have not been accounted for for several years, and if they want to take it back from the hands of the traitorous ninja, everyone knows that the chances are slim.

If the rest of the ninja villages get two ninja swords, they can also get them back peacefully through normal diplomatic means.

But in the hands of the defector ninja, it is not so simple to get it back.

The most important thing is that they can't grasp the whereabouts of the other party, and they can't find anyone to negotiate if they want to.

The puffer fish ghost snorted coldly, and did not say such a big thing as killing Konoha S-class rebel ninja with his hand.

Being able to defeat one of the five shadows, Thunder Shadow, shows the strength of the other party, and it is estimated that all the seven ninja swords in their heyday will have the possibility of victory.

The seven ninja swords are not at the same level as the prestige and strength of the 'Five Shadows'.

As long as I master the fog hidden, I can send a large number of ninjas to hunt down and kill each other, and I don't believe that I can't get back the two missing ninja knives! The puffer fish ghost thought indignantly in his heart, because the other high-level people looked down on him, which made him quite unhappy.

Even if it is a fact, as a member of the Seven Ninja Swords, he cannot be taken lightly.

"Now that the Ten Collections are complete and the rest of the people are here, let's start the meeting, Mizukage-sama."

Fugu Ghost said.

The faces of the three generations of Mizukage were furrowed, and he sighed secretly in his heart, this moment has still come.

After all, he was ashamed of the teacher's deathbed entrustment of the second generation of the water shadow ghost lamp Phantom Moon, and did not lead the fog to develop well.

In the future, the fog will be handed over to a more thoughtful young man.

"Elder Yuanshi, what do you think?"

The third generation of Mizukage looked at the old man who was sitting beside him, silent.

He is older than his own countenance.

The other party's name is Yuan Shi, and his generation is higher than that of his teacher, the second generation of the Water Shadow Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon, and he is a person of the same era as the first generation of Five Shadows, and when he was young, he was also a famous ninja in the Fog Hidden Village, and he contributed his life to the construction and development of the Fog Hidden Village.

"Let's start, in this era, it should be dominated by young people, and Konoha does the same."

Genshi is a ninja who has gone through various periods of the Fog Hidden Village.

In the past, the second generation of the Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon followed the example of Konoha and established the Shadow and Ninja School of the Fog Hidden Village, which made the military power of the Fog Hidden Village grow by leaps and bounds.

Even Konoha made the choice of letting young people guide Konoha in this era, and the Motoshi naturally agreed to the election meeting of the four generations of Mizukage.

At least in this way, it can inject fresh vitality into Wuyin Village.

After all, the three generations of Mizukage are old, and they are unable to deal with many things, and they lack the decisiveness of their youth.

As a result, there was a crack in the inside of the fog, and the three generations of water shadows could not escape the blame.

"Then, the election meeting of the four generations of Mizukage has officially begun."

With the consent of the elder master, the three generations of Mizukage nodded, even the most far-sighted elder master in the village thought that the election of the fourth generation of Mizukage was imperative, and he was indeed at the age of abdicating to make way for Xian.

It is said that it is an election meeting, but in fact, the prerequisites have been prepared before the meeting.

The Mizukage election system in Fog Hidden Village is divided into three steps, the first is a public opinion survey, the second is a Kaminobu survey, and the third is a high-level survey.

Among them, the poll imitation of Konoha is the most preferred choice.

The second is the voting of the upper ninja and the higher-level, which also occupies a certain proportion.

"So, what are the results of the polls?"

A senior executive asked.

The high-level person in charge of this aspect stood up from his seat and said: "Among all the candidates who participated in the selection of the four generations of Mizukage, the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost Shangnin had the most votes, and not only that, but the Shangnin's side also had a similar result, completely ahead of the other candidates. ”

"A victory without the slightest suspense? It looks like it was made on purpose. ”

A high-level person who was dissatisfied with the style of the watermelon mountain puffer ghost snorted coldly, as if he had questioned the result.

The watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost was not alarmed, and he was not angry because of this, just go and solve the opposition afterwards, there is no need to make a fuss here.

Especially if the person concerned is still him, making a lot of noise at this time will only deepen others' doubts about his ability.

"However, this is indeed the result of voting according to the regular process."

The senior in charge of statistics said again.

"What if you, as an intermediary, are bribed and colluded with someone?"

The previous senior smirked coldly.

"What do you say? Are you questioning my position? ”

The high-level executive in charge of counting the votes glared angrily.

"Who knows what's going on inside, I'm more inclined to be the water shadow than the watermelon mountain puffer ghost. His strength is only stronger than that of the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost, and he has been conscientiously assisting the three generations and has accumulated quite a lot of experience. After ascending to the Mizukage, he was able to restore the village from the shadows of the past as soon as possible. ”

"I'm sorry, but the number of votes received by the candidates is only in fourth place, a rather subtle term. Even if you have the strength and experience to deal with things, if the popularity is not good and the people don't like it, you can only end there. The will of the people is the most correct notary. ”

The senior in charge of statistics glanced at Yakura, who was sitting on the right hand side of Mizukage, his face expressionless, and he didn't seem to care about it.

"How is that possible?"

"There is no need to question the gaze of the people. Whoever is more capable can be seen at a glance. ”

The centrist vote-counting executive replied.

"Can people who are deliberately blinded really be able to see so far away? What did the people from the inspection team say? ”

The high-level who supported Yakura still didn't give up, he thought that the watermelon mountain puffer ghost had taken office for four generations, and it would only lead the Fog Hidden Village to hell.

The high-level person in charge of checking the vote mechanism picked up the manuscript, hesitated for a moment and said: "There is no mistake, after investigation, most of the people are inclined to the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost to shinobi." ”

As for what is in it, I don't know.

The poll is the most important part of the Mizukage election, but it can also be said to be the most useless part.

As long as someone deliberately guides, you can control the public opinion below and change the tone of the people.

Rather than seriously thinking about who to support, they are more like irrelevant people watching the excitement and joining in the fun, and what they see may just be an illusion made by others.

Because of the asymmetry of information and intelligence, they were seriously misled.

But in any case, the results have been set.

"Damn! No matter how you look at this kind of thing, I ask for a new vote! There must be something wrong with this! ”

The high-level who support Yakura still can't believe that the watermelon mountain puffer ghost will have so many supporters.

"The way you yelled was ugly. Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth, and you can't deny such a fact just because you don't believe it. Mizukage-sama, Elder Yuanshi, the results are already obvious, Shinobu in the Watermelon Mountain has received such strong support, even if the final high-level vote is not conducted, I believe the two of you will be able to see the final result. ”

The high-ranking person looked at the three generations of Mizukage and the Elder Elder Master.

Yuan Shi just frowned and didn't speak.

The third generation of Mizukage sighed, for him, it didn't matter who was the fourth generation of Mizukage, as long as he could restore the power of the mist as soon as possible, it didn't matter whether it was a person from the Blood Mist Sect or a reformist.

The watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost has no emotion, and his heart is also happy.

There is no doubt that the four generations of Mizukage belong to him.

"Also, I have a question."

The senior in charge of counting the votes suddenly said again.

"What's the problem?"

Three generations of Mizukage asked.

"This question needs to be answered by the shinobi of the wolf."

"Yakura?"

Mizukage turned to the right and looked at Yakura with a surprised expression.

Was it Yakura who did something?

Yakura replied in a flat voice, "Excuse me." ”

"According to the information I received this morning, the garrison on the southern border began to abandon the border defense and returned to the village in a menacing manner. It is said that it was because of someone's order. ”

The meaning is very clear, what he means is that the Wuyin garrison troops on the southern border were transferred back from Yakura.

"What!? Goji Ueshinobu turned out to-"

The conference room immediately exploded, and everyone glared at Yakura with shocked eyes.

The troops stationed on the border are absolutely not allowed to be repatriated without permission.

Even if Mizukage orders it, it must be decided by a high-level meeting, otherwise the high-level delegation has the right to hold Mizukage accountable.

Because once there is a problem with the garrison, it may allow foreign ninja forces to directly attack the land of water, bringing disaster to the Fog Hidden Village.

"That's right, the garrison in the south, I gave the order to return to the village without authorization."

Yakura admitted it calmly.

This made the senior executive who asked Yakura questions before choked, and he hadn't come up with further evidence, why did Yakura simply admit it?

This kind of crime is enough to put Yakura into a situation from which he will never recover!

The high-level who supported Yakura was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect Yakura to be so bold, directly bypassed the high-level meeting, and sent the southern garrison back to the village under the pretense of Mizukage's order.

"Yakura, are you crazy? If at this time, the south is invaded by foreign enemies, what should be done? ”

Now everyone has no time to deal with the election of the four generations of Mizukage, because the location of the four generations of Mizukage has been determined, and the most important thing now is to let the southern garrison troops who returned to the village return to the border as soon as possible, so as not to make a mistake in the southern military deployment of the water country.

The watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost was happy in his heart, he didn't expect Yakura to be so crazy at first, and directly overstepped his authority to send the garrison troops back.

It seems that the other party has exhausted his skills and knows that he is not an opponent at all in voting and election, so he takes an act that is tantamount to a madman in the eyes of everyone - a coup d'état!

The rest of the higher-ups also realized this, and glared at Yakura with unkind eyes, ready to take him down at any moment.

But the strength of Yu Yakura did not do it immediately, but looked at the three generations of Mizukage.

Of all the people here, only three generations of Mizukage were able to suppress Yakura.

The third generation of Mizukage looked at Yakura with a complicated gaze, he didn't expect that Yakura, who had been following him and silently performing his duties, would be such a crazy person.

"Yakura, don't you have anything to say?"

"Becoming a king or defeating a king, as long as you want to get the position of the fourth generation of Mizukage, isn't this a natural result, three generations of adults?"

Yakura stood up from his seat, his childish face like a doll, and his purple-red eyes showed astonishing determination.

"It's too late to stop, don't make mistakes again and again! Even if you don't become the fourth generation of Mizukage, you are still an excellent shinobi in the village! ”

The third generation of Mizukage also stood up, not wanting to meet with the Yakura soldiers, because in that case, it would cause Kigakure to lose a powerful ninja.

There are only three of the Ninja Sword Seven left, and if a powerful faction like Yakura is lost, the fog will have no external deterrent for a long time to come.

This is something that the three generations of Mizukage do not want to see.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to betray your trust, Miyo-sama."

Yakura shook his head, the matter has come to this, there is no second possibility except a coup d'état.

Moreover, for today's bureau, he has been arranging for more than five years, and it is impossible to give up halfway here.

"Let's do it."

After Yakura said this, the door of the conference room suddenly exploded, flashing with fierce thunder.

A figure burst out like lightning, the soles of its feet stomped on the ceiling, and its long brown-red hair hung down, and the whole person hung upside down.

"Yakura, you're really grinding, I'm already impatient to wait outside! After enduring it for a few years, now I can finally do a big job! ”

"Hayashi, Hayashi Yuuri!?"

When everyone saw the true face of the female ninja who didn't know the etiquette and rushed into the conference room to make trouble, their eyes suddenly widened as if they had seen a ghost.

Didn't she die because she was seriously ill?

What's going on?

Why are you still colluding with Yakura?

The watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost also stared at the round eyes, and looked at Lin Yu Yuri in disbelief, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Faced with this man's panicked expression, Lin Yuri just accumulated thunder and lightning in his double blades, and showed a kind and kind smile to everyone.

"Thunderbolt Kaminarimon!"

Rumble!

Thick smoke and explosions suddenly swept through the conference room, causing the Mizukage Building outside to collapse as a large number of buildings.

The sky was cloudy and thundering, and the thunder continued to slash and hit the Mizukage Building, trying to turn the entire building into powder.

Yakura was the first to break away from the explosion and jumped outside, staring helplessly at Hayashio Yuri, who was there with a troubled brain.

Even the important symbol of the village, the Mizukage Building, dared to bomb, which is not insignificant.

However, thinking of the grievances that the other party has suffered in the past few years, it is inevitable that he will have to go back to the village to decompress first, which is completely understandable.

"Forget it, if it's ruined, it's ruined. Anyway, I also think that the current Mizukage building is too old, and then just rebuild a beautiful building. ”
