Kirigakure Village.
When the Third Mizukage received the information that a new Hokage would be born in Konoha Village, the lines on his face became much softer.
At this time, among the seven ninja swordsmen in Kirigakure Village, the remaining six are still in the village, and only Loquat Juzo has gone to Konoha Village.
"The new Hokage of the Leaf Village is Minato Namikaze!"
When the Third Mizukage said these words, his emotions were like opening a lottery ticket and finding out that he had won. And this was not just an ordinary win, it was after he had known the winning number before. He went out of his way to buy this bet, and he just happened to win, and he still allined all his money.
This feeling was so wonderful that he no longer knew how to describe his mood. Although his eyes were invisible, he could also feel the emotions of the people around him through the perception of chakra. The mood is similar to his.
"Loquat Juuzang has made a meritorious service this time."
The Third Mizukage still remembered the conversation he had with Loquat Juzo, who talked about his relationship with Namikaze Minato and the things between Namikaze Minato and the Third Tsuchikage.
At that time, a scandal about the third generation broke out in Konoha Village.
Of course, it’s not just the scandal, but also the incredible one. Even Orochimaru and Danzo stood up together, told the whole village what they had done at that time, and admitted everything frankly. No matter how you think about this kind of thing It's all incredible.
At that time no one in the entire ninja world had the answer.
But Loquat Juzo had contact with them before returning to Kirigakure Village, and learned about some of the more critical issues, and understood the subtle hostile relationship between Namikaze Minato and the Third Generation.
Konoha Village can be said to be the most harmonious village in the entire ninja world.
In this case, if it were another person, he would never believe that who could have thought of the real contradiction in Konoha Village. It was actually that the third generation wanted to stay in the position of Hokage, but Minato Namikaze was about to take over the scepter of the new era.
There is only one Hokage, and both of them want to compete for the old Hokage and do not want the new Hokage to disagree, which has contributed to the current situation.
When that scandal broke out, looking at the entire ninja world, everyone was busy laughing at Sandan, laughing at Konoha Village, and laughing at such things, but their Kirigakure Village had already been prepared, because Loquat Ten They knew that Namikaze Minato would become the new generation Hokage of Konoha Village.
And precisely because of this little relationship, they all understood that Namikaze Minato had already begun to take action against the third generation.
Orochimaru and Danzo would expose a scandal involving the third generation. This is definitely not just a coincidence. This must be controlled by Minato Namikaze behind the scenes. Otherwise, such incredible things will never happen. Looking at the entire ninja In the world, since the establishment of the Ninja Village, no such thing has happened in any village, even in the small Ninja Villages that are too weak, let alone the Konoha Village that first founded the Ninja Village.
The sudden occurrence of something that shouldn't have happened means there must be something wrong with the situation, so based on the information provided by Loquat Juzo, they later jointly determined that this problem might be Namikaze Minato's revenge for the Third Generation and the others. Made on purpose.
Since they figured this out, they have understood that there is no one else besides Namikaze Minato who is the new generation of Hokage in Konoha Village. They have never doubted the candidate. Now when the information really comes, After Minato Namikaze was about to take over as Hokage and become the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, everyone had a very clear feeling in their hearts, and they had never doubted this.
"Loquat Juuzang is about to arrive at Konoha Village. She should be the first person from other villages to arrive at Konoha Village. He will send the first condolence to Konoha Village's newest Hokage on behalf of our Kirigakure Village. This is also It means that our Kirigakure Village and Konoha Village are about to establish a very friendly relationship."
There was a faint smile on the face of the Third Mizukage. After the previous discussion, he was fully prepared for the current events, and he felt a strong sense of satisfaction in this preparation. It was the thing he felt he had done that made him happiest after becoming the Mizukage.
In the past, when he first became the Mizukage, he was still subject to some restrictions from the Yuanshi. After he actually took over the Mizukage, he faced another battle with the Hidden Cloud Village. He had always had nothing in his heart. It felt too relaxed, because he had been wiping the butt of the Kirigakure before.
But at this time, when he is actually in charge of Yuwu, what Yan Chunlai is doing now is just what he thinks is the most meaningful thing after he becomes Mizukage.
Originally, Kirigakure Village stood far behind Kumogakure Village, and it could be said that it was a must-visit to a certain extent. Although Kumogakure Village was also a vampire, constantly sucking away the resources of Kirigakure Village, it was true. It is indeed necessary for them to get what they have. Otherwise, with the strength of Kirigakure Village in recent times, if they are exposed to the ninja world, they are likely to be plundered by other major forces.
But at this point in time, they have lost the care of Yunyin Village and are completely in a very crude state. They have no contact with any other ninja village. They cannot be said to be hostile, but they are also It is definitely not friendly, so in the future, he can see that their Kirigakure Village will continue to be attacked by Kumogakure Village. After all, Kumogakure Village is very powerful, and there was no such thing in the just-concluded Third Ninja World War. Weakened by something.
Except for Kirigakure Village, the other three major ninja villages are different to Kirigakure Village.
Among them, the distance between Sunagakure Village is too far, and there is no possibility of establishing diplomatic relations at all.
As for the Iwagakure Village, they have a huge grudge against their Kirigakure Village. The second-generation Mizukage of the Kirigakure Village died in the second-generation projection war with the Iwagakure Village. It can be said that both old and new grudges have been repaid. It is completely impossible to put aside the previous grudges and stand together and shake hands to make peace.
If this is the case, the only one left that can establish friendly contact with Kirigakure Village is Konoha Village.
The Third Mizukage knew about such a thing at the time, but he did not know how to establish friendly relations with the Leaf Village. There was indeed no enmity between them and the Leaf Village in history.
The information brought by Loquat Juzo and his relationship with Namikaze Minato suddenly seemed to open a door to the Leaf Village in front of the Third Mizukage.
Especially now.
When the third Tsuchikage saw that Namikaze Minato was about to become the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, the excitement in his heart far exceeded any other moment, and it seemed to be comparable to his being elected as the Mizukage.
Namikaze Minato became the Hokage of Konoha Village, which is equivalent to leading Konoha Village to a new era. The current Konoha Village will not be the Konoha Village of the past, but a new Konoha Village. According to To be honest, Namikaze Minato will take Konoha Village to a completely new level.
It is even possible to return Konoha Village to the pattern it had when the Ninja Village was first established in the Ninja World. At that time, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama single-handedly overwhelmed all other villages. Now, It is indeed possible for Namikaze Minato to reach such a situation.
After all, the Third Mizukage knew very well that the current situation in the ninja world was that the Third Kage would gradually withdraw from the stage of history, while the fourth generation should be in a state of relative inactivity in each village. Although he did not go to the Ninja World to interact with other The people in the village had too many contacts with each other, but when considering establishing diplomatic relations with each village, he did think about this type of issue.
First of all, their old enemy, the Third Raikage of Cloud Hidden Village, is indeed very strong, but the only one who can inherit the position of Raikage is his son.
Xiao Ai's physical talents are at the upper level in Iwagakure Village, but there is still a long way to go before he can reach the height of his father, the Third Raikage, but this is already very powerful.
In Iwagakure Village, there is absolutely no shadow that can inherit the Tsuchikage. Even the third generation Tsuchikage Ohnoki himself does not know. Even if he wants to pass on the position of Tsuchikage, who should he give it to? A very difficult question.
As for Sunagakure Village, except for the Third Kazekage, it is difficult to choose a winner, not to mention some of the village's senior officials. There are really too few people in Sunagakure Village.
Except for the Leaf Village, almost no other village has talent, and young people keep popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
As for their Kirigakure Village...
The third Mizukage was unwilling to talk about his own village. Even he himself was not qualified as a Mizukage. It was really because he could not take over the Mizukage without Mizukage. Previously, Kirigakure Village had always been run by Genshi. In control, that is an elder from the Kingdom of Water.
This is why the ninjas in Kirigakure Village don't feel anything, but in fact this is a relatively humiliating thing. After all, their Kirigakure Village is indeed in the country of water, but they are in a cooperative relationship with each other. , the consultant of Kirigakure Village is the bridge between the village and the Kingdom of Water, but because the Kingdom of Water has not been able to select a suitable Mizukage, this is not to blame the name of the Kingdom of Water, but the Kirigakure Village. There is no one left.
It is precisely because of this reason that the power of Kirigakure Village has always been in the hands of the elders and Yuanshi of the Kingdom of Water. The Kingdom of Water directly controls the rights of Kirigakure Village without any secret.
In fact, he was able to become the Mizukage because Kirigakure Village really couldn't live without the Mizukage. But if he was asked to pass the Mizukage on, he didn't know who to pass it on to. Looking at this village, it was simply... It's a mess, and everything is in ruins, and all the resources are being squeezed by the Kingdom of Water and Yunyin Village.
If there is anything that Kirigakure Village can be proud of, it might be that there are more rebellious ninjas...
Many ninjas chose to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Water after experiencing dissatisfaction. Finally, he left the Kingdom of Water and became a rebel ninja.
After the third Mizukage took over Mizukage's position, he was not so high-spirited, nor did he feel any inner excitement and comfort because he stood at the pinnacle of power in Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water.
During this period of time, he has been busy dealing with these issues left over from history. Various past experiences have forced him to pay more attention to the problems that are happening now.
The Kirigakure Village was already in deficit, so he had to fill in all the previous loopholes before it could achieve greater glory.
But now he got a very good opportunity.
That is to establish a very friendly connection with the Konoha Village of the new era.
In fact, in his opinion, Loquat Juuzang's mission was chosen by mistake to his favorite point.
If he had a choice, he would prefer to cooperate with a new Hokage like Minato Namikaze rather than an old fox like Sandai.
The longer someone who has been the Hokage for a long time, the more tactful and sophisticated he is in dealing with problems, and the more likely he is to be exploited, because he has just become the Mizukage not long ago, and he will definitely not be able to match the third generation in terms of experience. Yes, but if compared with Namikaze Minato, the most advanced Hokage in Konoha Village, then she is actually more sophisticated.
The third generation water friend has this idea, not because he intends to use Namikaze Minato, but because he does not want to be used in this relationship, not to mention that he has no interaction with the third generation hokage of Konoha Village, and the third generation Tsuchikage and Kirigakure What kind of views the village has, and he has no idea at all. In this situation where he doesn't know the other side, he feels that there is no way to deal with the relationship between him and the Hokage particularly well, and he can't completely handle it. Clearly see the relationship between each other.
On the contrary, it is precisely this kind of new Hokage who had no experience before he became Hokage and has no intersection with each other. He is completely like a blank piece of paper. He can restructure the relationship between them and go in the direction of a win-win situation. develop.
As the new Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, the Third Mizukage is more inclined to use characters like the new Hokage to collide with each other to create sparks that he feels are perfect.
The news that Namikaze Minato became the Hokage of Konoha Village was the happiest piece of news he had received since succeeding the Mizukage, and it was also the most perfect piece of news in his opinion.
"Hahahahahaha."
The Third Mizukage couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought about it. He was in a very happy mood. At this time, he had completely reached a peak of excitement. His eyes swept across the other six people in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He could clearly see I can see the excitement and excitement exuding from these six people.
After all, the six of them had been sweating over the matter of Loquat Shizang before. Now that they have gotten this result, the dust has settled to a certain extent, giving them a kind of release and relief deep in their hearts. .
"I believe that Loquat Juuzang can complete the task perfectly."
"In this way, our Kirigakure Village will usher in a new peak."
"I hope that our Kirigakure Village can build a new Kirigakure Village together with the new Konoha Village, so that we can regain our name in the ninja world."
"At least one thing I can confirm is that after we successfully establish friendly contact with Konoha Village, Yunyin Village will not dare to bully us so easily!"
The Third Mizukage said one sentence after another. When he said these words, the day when Yuanshi died appeared in his mind. Although the original death was helpful for him to control the power of Kirigakure Village, he They still can't forget the feeling of powerlessness that radiated from the inside out when they entered the Tao with their fists and left the Hidden Mist Village, making them feel extremely aggrieved and desperate in their hearts.
At that time, he had such a feeling that as long as the Third Raikage survived, he would never be able to turn over, but now he found that the time to turn over had come, because even if the Third Raikage represented the past and the present, it would certainly not be able to represent the future. And Namikaze Minato is a ticket to the future, a ship that can take you to the new world.
"This is really good news."
"I hope Loquat Juzo can succeed."
"Now I'm even more looking forward to the news that Brother Loquat Juuzang will send back."
"I didn't expect that boy to actually become Hokage."
"Namikaze Minato is really powerful. I never thought he could use the space-time ninjutsu. When I saw him performing that jutsu, I knew he was invincible."
"Brother Juuzang's judgment is very correct. It is indeed possible for Kado to reach the level of the first Hokage in the future."
“…”
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village also started discussing together. He didn't have much to discuss, and everyone became very comfortable.
"Now we are just waiting for the good news from Loquat Juzo."
The Third Mizukage said with a smile. Although he couldn't see the other people, he could feel the chakra dancing on these people. The only thing he could still worry about now was that Loquat Juuzang had not yet passed on. If any news comes back, once Loquat Juzo comes back, he will release all the pressure in his heart with a positive reply that can establish diplomatic relations.
This is precisely what he is most troubled about at the moment.
Everything they had guessed before was correct, and they were already on the right path. If they got here, their strength or luck told them that they would not make it through.
What a tragedy this would be.
The Third Mizukage felt that fate might not mock them like this. He had a very strong sense in his heart that Loquat Juzo's trip would definitely be successful. He couldn't help but squeeze his fists with both hands, but not so hard, he could just feel it. With the sweat soaked into his palms, all he could do now was wait. Apart from waiting, there was no way that could help him.
"I hope nothing will happen to Loquat Juzo."
The Third Mizukage prayed silently in his heart. This was his greatest hope for the rise of Kirigakure Village!
