I teach kendo in the ninja world

Under the humid and hazy air and the thick fog that persists all year round, stands one of the five most powerful military organizations in the world - Kirigakure Village.

Compared with usual, the village seemed to be less crowded at this time, but the number of ninjas that could be seen on the streets was more than usual.

Sa!

A black shadow passed over the roof like the wind. After a few flickering jumps, it stopped at the door of the tallest and majestic building in the village.

A large word "water" is clearly written on the outer wall of this building.

It's the Mizukage Building!

The black figure that stopped was revealed. It turned out to be a young man with green hair and purple eyes, and a suture-like scar under his left eye.

"Yakura-sama!"

When the ANBU ninja outside the Mizukage Building saw this, they immediately stopped their interception movements and half-knelt on the ground to salute.

"Well, hard work."

Goji Yagura nodded, said something casually, and then hurriedly walked in.

Tuk Tuk!

"Lord Mizukage, Jounin Tachibana Yagura wishes to see you!"

"come in."

An old voice came from the room.

After receiving permission from the Third Mizukage, Goju Yagura pushed the door open and bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him.

"Master Shuiying."

"sit down."

The Third Mizukage sat behind the desk, waved his hand gently, and asked Mansheng: "How is the recent war with Konoha?"

Goji Yagura was sitting on the sofa. After hearing this question, he subconsciously stood up and answered.

"Sit down, sit down and speak slowly."

The third Mizukage pressed his arm.

"……Yes."

Yagura straightened up, thought for a moment, sorted out his words, and said seriously: "According to the news from Ghost Light Qianyue, since the fierce battle a week ago, the Konoha ninjas trapped in Qingyu Island have been No large-scale counterattacks were launched, and now the war seems to have leveled off."

"Oh? After suffering such a big loss, they can still endure it? Ahem..."

The Third Mizukage's tone rose slightly, and he coughed twice as if his lungs were inadvertently affected.

"Mizukage-sama, your body..."

Goju Yagura looked concerned.

"It doesn't matter, people get old, that's what happens."

The Third Mizukage waved his hand for him to continue.

"Yes, I also think that it is unlikely that Konoha will just let it go, so I have sent someone to remind Qianyue, the ghost, to pay more attention to defense while maintaining the pressure, and also spread nearly one-third of the Anbu Go out and find out the news.”

Goju Yagura told him about his arrangement.

"You did a good job, but what you said was not entirely correct."

The Third Mizukage nodded first, then shook his head, "It's not that Konoha is unlikely to give up, but it will definitely not give up! You guys, almost none of you have ever experienced a real ninja war, and you don't understand what Konoha Village is like. How terrifying is the potential for war.”

"Mizukage-sama, we wiped out at least 1000 of them in the previous battle!"

Gotachibana Yagura argued.

Those were not a thousand cannon fodder genin. After salvaging them later, they confirmed that most of them were ninjas of chunin or above.

If such a loss were placed in Kirigakure Village, it would be heartbreaking. Just imagining it would make Goji Yagura feel his eyes darken.

"These are nothing to Konoha."

Compared to Yagura's anxious appearance, the Third Mizukage's performance was much calmer.

"You have never really seen the full force of Konoha's attack. Remember that after Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage, the two pillars of Konoha, collapsed, our four major ninja villages joined forces to attack Konoha. That battle was so complete Ah, it’s still fresh in my memory.”

The Third Mizukage looked up at the ceiling, his eyes slightly vacant, as if he was remembering something.

After a moment, he said with emotion: "No matter how we kill, the ninjas in Konoha seem to be endless. Kill a few hundred of them today, and there will be more people to fill in tomorrow. The entire battlefield is like a real castle." It’s the same as the meat grinder, grinding them and grinding us. It’s just that our manpower is limited, and they..."

He shook his head and said meaningfully.

"So I never expect that we can really defeat Konoha, or even hold off Konoha for a long time, as long as we can stop them for a month."

Goji Yagura frowned when he heard this.

As a passionate young man who is full of energy and determined to fight for the rise of Kirigakure Village throughout his life, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the third generation Mizukage's depressing words that would destroy his family's breeze.

However, this is not a matter of principle. As a subordinate, there is no need to contradict him. Just treat it as an old man who wants stability.

So he said a word of comfort: "If we only support it for a month, it doesn't seem to be difficult at the moment. We have survived for more than ten days."

"Yeah, it's been more than ten days."

The Third Mizukage gently picked up the Mizukage bamboo hat placed on the table, "Counting the time, I should almost leave for the Land of Thunder. I wonder how Araki is doing there."

"No matter what, he won't suffer." A smile appeared on Yagura's baby face.

Speaking of Araki, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two suddenly became more relaxed.

"By the way, when do you plan to leave, I will arrange two teams of guards for you. To prevent Konoha Village from doing despicable things on the way again."

The assassination by someone sent by Konoha on the way back from the Land of Thunder left a deep impression on Goju Yagura.

This time Mizukage traveled in person, and the two sides were at war, so there was no guarantee that they wouldn't repeat their old tricks.

During the war, if the domestic situation is turbulent due to Mizukage's accident, there will be big problems on the front line.

"Haha, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

The third Mizukage smiled and said, "As long as my Shadow Guard follows you. I have been here since the Warring States Period. I have never seen any big scenes. Don't forget, I am a Mizukage!"

"……Yes."

Goji Yagura was silent for a moment. Faced with Mizukage's insistent rejection, he could only bow his head and accept.

"The reason why I called you here this time is to tell you that after I leave, you will decide all matters in the village. If you are undecided, ask the elder Yuanshi. Also, don't take Konoha lightly. , the calmer they act, the more turbulent the dark torrent is, and when it is activated, the power will become more and more devastating." The Third Mizukage warned earnestly.

"I understand, please don't worry."

Goju Yagura stood up from the sofa and said seriously.

"very good."

……

The process of the Joint Chuunin Examination was already halfway through. In addition to the Mizukage, several other Kages who were interested in watching the finals were also preparing to set off in their respective villages.

Rock Hidden Village.

"Father, should I go with you?"

Huangtu, who was wearing a red turban and a beard, looked at the third Tsuchikage sitting on Wenya's shoulder and said.

"Fart, you went with me, who will be in charge of the village?"

Ohnomu floated up from Wen Ya's shoulder and gave Huang Tu a violent shudder on his head.

"But your waist..."

Loess wanted to speak but stopped.

"What waist? I have a very good waist! Go back to the village!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted angrily by Ohnoki.

The Tsuchikage's old waist is a taboo topic in Iwagakure.

Even his biological son cannot be mentioned!

Ohnoki returned to Wen Ya's shoulder, turned his head and didn't look at Huang Tu again.

Wen Ya, who was tall and strong and not inferior to Huang Tu in any way, lowered his head and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Huang Tu, I will definitely take good care of Lord Tsuchikage."

"Well, then please."

Huang Tu obviously had nothing to do with his stubborn father, so he had to hold Wen Ya and give instructions for a while before letting them go.

……

The land of wind, the hidden sand village.

"Elder Qianyo, Luo Sha, the village will be left to you during my absence."

Luo Sha looked at the old man and the young man in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Kazekage-sama, I will do my best."

Chiyo and Rasa replied solemnly.

"set off!"

Feng Ying swung his god robe, turned around and stepped into the vast yellow sand with his shadow guards.

……

Fire Country, Konoha Village.

Orochimaru, who was wearing a Hokage robe, was sitting in his office, holding three pieces of information in his hand, and said playfully: "According to the news from Anko, the Mizukage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage have all left the village and gone to The Kingdom of Thunder has gone."

"This is a rare opportunity. As long as we can get Mizukage halfway..."

Danzo made a cutting motion with his only remaining arm, and the meaning was self-evident.

Tsunade frowned, but didn't say anything against it.

Although she is dissatisfied with Danzo, she is still an elite ninja who kills Yingye on the battlefield. Naturally, she understands that no matter what method is used to attack the enemy in war, it is allowed.

"But...who shall we send?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard with one arm and said thoughtfully, "Although the Third Mizukage is old, not just anyone can defeat him. Plus the guards around him...and there are all waterways between them and the Kingdom of Thunder. , want to assassinate a water shadow on the sea..."

There is a story about assassinating Mizukage on the vast sea. If they didn't have accurate information that showed that the third Mizukage's body was not in good shape, even a madman would not be able to come up with such a plan.

But even if the other person's body is not as good as before, he is still a shadow, and not everyone can touch Porcelain!

Sarutobi's words caused the four people present to fall into a brief silence.

During this period of time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was doing very well in the position of advisor to the Hokage, as if he had a second spring.

He has become indecisive as he gets older and is not good at decision-making. He is annoyed by the three consultants on weekdays. In recent years, he has even felt a little powerless.

It was only now that he had stepped back from the position of Hokage that he understood what it meant to "take a step back to broaden the horizons".

No longer having to bear the pressure of the entire village, he only had to make suggestions from all aspects, making him even look younger than when he first took office.

"Huh, if Sakumo is still here..."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo singing along, Tsunade couldn't help but stab them.

But how could Danzo's face be penetrated so easily by her?

He directly ignored Tsunade, looked at Orochimaru and suggested: "There are not many people in the village who have the strength to carry out this task. Excluding those who are not suitable, only Namikaze Minato and Aburame Shimi are doing it. They should be able to match a ninja from the Hyuga branch."

"Minato Namikaze, Shimi Aburame, Hinata..."

Orochimaru chewed on these names and fell into thinking.
