Konoha's Clow Magician

early morning.

The day was rising, and the dense fog that had accumulated all night became thinner under the light.

Under the morning light, the gray stone walls and cyan floor seemed to be covered with a layer of moisture, hazy, as if the girl's thoughts were not clear.

In the room, the red-haired girl sat blankly behind the table, her eyes lost their usual agility, and there was a faint bloodshot look in her eyes.

On the table, papers were piled randomly, and messy handwriting could be faintly seen on the wrinkled straw paper.

Terumi Mei sighed softly. It was difficult to find a way to save Kirigakure Village in one night, but it was enough to sort out the complex forces and their respective demands in the village.

She was an extremely talented ninja, as smart as a man, but before that, when she wanted to take action on the situation in the village, she still felt constrained and timid. This had nothing to do with her personal intelligence, but was just due to her character.

Her mentality has not changed, and she cannot recognize what is most important to her. She cannot regard Mizukage as an enemy, and she is also worried that the battle will bring blood and sacrifices to the village.

In other words, peace and stability, light and future, Terumi Mei wants them all, so Kito Mangetsu excludes her from joining, thinking that her talents have not yet been realized and her thinking is not mature enough.

Only children want it all, but adults know their waist...you have to know the trade-offs and trade-offs.

Mizukage's life and personal safety are not as important as the survival of the village... It's that simple.

But now that we have established our position, made up our mind, and shouldered the blood and responsibility, it is clear at a glance how to make a decision, and there is no need to look forward or backward, or hesitate.

Some just try their best to gain strength, reduce variables, and increase the winning rate.

Terumi Mei pursed her lips and quickly sketched on the paper with a pencil. After a while, there were only a few names left in the pen.

According to the content of the eavesdropping, Senior Brother Man Yue will lead people to assassinate Mizukage tonight if he doesn't do it. Those who are hesitating and watching because it has nothing to do with him will naturally have no time to convince him, and Senior Brother Man Yue will not let go of those who can be moved by the benefits. , the only ones left are a group of people who also hold firm beliefs and long for the prosperity of the village.

And among this group of people, the one with the greatest prestige and the one who seeks stability the most, I am afraid that Senior Brother Man Yue will not be able to convince.

Thinking of this, Terumi Mei's expression changed, she dressed up in the mirror, jumped out of the room and disappeared into the mist.

……

The back bedroom of Kirigakure Village Council Hall.

An old man with a wrinkled face was lying on his side on the bed.

He is the elder of Yuanshi, and almost all the political system and economic strategies of Kirigakure Village come from him.

Unlike Konoha, where all matters of the village, large and small, are decided by the Hokage and the opinions of the advisory group are used as a reference, Kirigakure Village adopts a system of separation of military and political affairs.

As the representative of military power, Mizukage is the most powerful ninja in the village, while political and economic affairs are the responsibility of the village elders.

Putting it this way, it seems that the elder's status and prestige are equal to or even exceed Mizukage's, but in fact this is not the case at all.

After all, Kirigakure Village is the military force of the Kingdom of Water. As a violent organization, improving the village's war capabilities is the first priority.

Because of this, the Third Mizukage implemented the blood mist policy and required ninjas to work in pairs and kill their companions when they graduated from school. As an elder, the Genshi succumbed.

Even if from a political point of view this was not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts, and from an economic point of view, half of the village's investment in the ninja school was wasted, there was nothing he could do.

Because the Third Mizukage and the forces he controls are the strongest violent institutions in the village, what can be done with a kunai on his neck.

So, the barrel of a gun...ah, bah, political power comes from under the kunai.

Elder Yuan Normal University felt miserable.

Having managed Kirigakure Village for decades, not to mention military means, his skills in economics and government affairs have undoubtedly reached the full level.

Seeing why the Third Mizukage wanted to make these young ninjas mature as soon as possible, so they needed to see blood when they graduated, so he wanted them to kill their companions and other bullshit operations, he was anxious in his heart and scratched his head, only 80 The hair on his head was scratched all away.

It's like a champion player, looking at a relative who is a noob forcing his teammates to pick his feet while still feeling proud, and really want to stuff the mouse and keyboard into his mouth.

But he couldn't do it because he was just a child...ah, bah, because power came from under the kunai!

After finally waiting for the third generation Mizukage's ruling team to collapse, the genius ninja he trained became the Mizukage. On the surface, secretly, he has become the actual controller of Kirigakure Village.

Now thinking about the moment when Goji Yagura became the Fourth Mizukage, and remembering his original lofty ideals, Genshi couldn't help but smile a little on his wrinkled face.

I, Yuanshi, am over 80 years old, and now I have to shape the village into my own shape.

But the good times did not last long. After only a year or two, the village had not turned into what he wanted, and he still had many ideas that had not been implemented, and the biggest hidden danger broke out.

This kid Gotachibana Yagura actually rebelled against the revolution. It didn't take long for him to completely transform into the shape of the third Mizukage, even bigger than the third generation.

Even though there are many doubts about the sudden change in personality, it doesn't matter whether the fourth Mizukage is being manipulated or if this is his original thought.

Power is power after all. As a perfect Jinchuuriki, the power of the Fourth Mizukage cannot be blocked by his men. If it is the first possibility, how strong must be the person who can control the Fourth Generation.

Thinking of this, Master Yuan sighed, he was still old.

If he were 60 years younger, he would probably fight as hard as Zabuza and the others, but he is old, and even though he still has experience and wisdom, his courage is no longer there.

Now he just wants to retain the last strength for the village, waiting for the opportunity and change.

"Sir, Terumi Mei please see me!"

"Bring her in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, a red-haired girl followed Quan Bingwei, her face looked tired, but her eyes were shining, she was obviously a determined person.

Master Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was a little surprised. The other party's current behavior was not in line with his previous observations.

As a genius ninja, Mei Terumi has had her information on the table since she awakened the Double Blood Stain Limit, and she has met and talked with her several times in private.

The evaluation of her is that although she has faith, it is only based on the fantasy and passion of young people, and has not experienced the polishing of reality. She is not as good as Gui Deng Man Yue, whose family has been suppressed by three generations, and even not as good as from the past. Zabuza climbed up from the bottom step by step.

But now, the opponent's aura is somewhat interesting, as if it has been refined and refined, and it is worthy of him to take a high look.

Terumi Mei didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she stood up and bowed first, and then said all the words she had carefully considered, hoping to persuade the old man to help Senior Brother Zabuza and the others, kill the Mizukage in one fell swoop, and bring peace to the village again. .

"Cough cough..."

Master Yuan coughed twice and said nothing, his eyes slightly narrowed with thought.

He didn't even think about Terumi Mei's suggestions and persuasion for a second. He had decided long ago and would not make any changes when things came to pass.

However, Terumi Mei who said these words is very interesting. At a young age, he can already think about the village like Kage.

Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Master Yuan's eyes.

There was nothing wrong in supporting Goju Yagura to ascend the Mizukage. He had no strength. If he wanted to manage the village like a Kage, he would not have enough force after all, but his choice was not correct.

The second generation Mizukage was someone who would ignore anything when it came to fighting, the third generation Mizukage was even more so for the sake of war and would not hesitate to fish in dry swamps, and the fourth generation Mizukage was even more so.

Men are unreliable, old, and will swell when the blood comes.

Maybe the next generation of Mizukages can support a female Mizukage.
