From Naruto, Reincarnation Eyes Overlook Ninja World

In the conference room of the Mizukage Building.

The Fourth Mizukage Yukiren and his escort Yagura arrived at the office early.

He had something important to announce today, so he had notified all the ninja clan leaders with certain status in the Water Kingdom to the office in advance.

By the time Xue Lian arrived, many representatives of the ninja clan were already standing at the door. Even the elders who usually didn't pay much attention to the internal affairs of Kirigakure Village came over in person this time.

After all, the matter was so important this time that the elder had to step forward.

"Master Shuiying."

Seeing Xue Lian's arrival, all the ninja clan leaders present stood up and saluted him.

Xue Lian nodded and returned the greetings to everyone around him.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Let's go in together."

To be honest, Xue Lian's attitude was somewhat beyond the expectations of those present. After all, he was not too old, and he had just helped Kirigakure Village recover the three tails.

Such achievements are enough to make others of his age forget themselves, but the patriarch of the Snow Clan behaves quite calmly and already has a good sense of magnanimity.

Following Xue Lian's lead, everyone filed in, and then sat down on the seats with their respective ninja nameplates written on them.

As the elder of Kirigakure Village second only to Mizukage, Xue Lian specially arranged a move for the opponent on his right side.

But, wait until everyone is seated.

Some sharp-eyed ninja representatives have discovered that there is an empty seat on Xue Lian's left hand side, and there is no nameplate on it.

This gives those who are interested in it an excuse to make use of the topic.

"Mizukage-sama, I wonder who is so proud that we need to wait for him together?" a representative of the ninja clan sitting on the right said.

Xue Lian put down the water shadow hat on her head without changing her expression, and said slowly: "He is a very important ally. You will see him soon, but there is no need to worry. Let's discuss internal affairs first."

"It's good, it's not the outsiders' turn to dictate the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Water."

The speaker was an old fish with white beard and hair. This kind of old fish was not an exaggeration, but his face really looked like a fish.

It's similar to the shark face of Kisame Inikaki, but because of his age, the fish-like features of this representative of the ninja clan are much more obvious.

And his words also made the atmosphere in the entire Mizukage office become subtle in an instant.

Everyone looked at Xue Lian quietly.

Because the Snow Clan is what he calls "outsiders".

The Snow Clan are not native residents of the Land of Water, but a bloodline limited ninja clan who escaped from the Land of Snow during the First Ninja War.

The second-generation Mizukage, who advocated war at that time, took in this ninja clan because their clan had the blood inheritance limit of [Ice Release] and had great fighting potential.

Therefore, in the eyes of those ninja clan who stick to their traditions, the Snow clan is equivalent to outsiders.

When the ninja elder named Ghost Swordfish said this, he was undoubtedly referring to Sang Shuhuai.

But before Xue Lian could say anything, a ninja elder next to him objected: "If the Kirigakure ninjas are divided into third and sixth levels because of their seniority and closeness, then what should be the standards for [outsiders]? What about the formulation? There are many ninja clans in this Kingdom of Water who have existed longer than us. According to Elder Ghost Swordfish, we [outsiders] are not qualified to dictate the policies of the Kingdom of Water."

The representative of the Ghost Lantern clan on the side also echoed: "Well, although qualifications are important, the contribution to the Kingdom of Water is the more important factor that should be considered."

The ninja sitting next to Ghost Swordfish responded: "Of course the size of the contribution is important, but everything comes down to one size. This time we are not discussing the size of the contribution."

In just a few sentences, all kinds of subtexts fly.

Yagura stood behind Xue Lian, looking confused.

Although he has outstanding strength, he cannot keep up with the other party's thinking when faced with this kind of communication method that is full of words and hidden in words.

In fact, the meaning of this exchange is quite obvious.

As a traditionalist of the Kingdom of Water, Elder Ghost Swordfish is firmly opposed to Xue Lian's open policy, but due to the strength gap between the two sides.

He didn't dare to blatantly express his dissatisfaction, so he could only rely on his qualifications to beat him.

Although the Oniden clan has produced conservative Mizukages like the Second Generation Mizukage, the Oniden clan is essentially an extremely militant ninja clan.

You know, Guideng Huanyue's temper is notoriously belligerent.

Can I bear this anger?I just learned the steaming danger and explosive power.

Unfortunately, he met the second-generation Tsuchikage [Museless] who was able to fly and also mastered the great killer dust release.

After both sides perished, the Kingdom of Water had to give in in order to preserve its strength.

The descendants of the Ghost Lantern clan are holding back their anger and always want revenge.

And this is why they support the Snow Clan uncharacteristically.

The objection from the representative of the ninja clan was also very simple: Tradition belongs to tradition, but now the top leader of the Kingdom of Water is the Mizukage, unless you want to subvert the Five Shadows system.

And the last ninja clan came out to smooth things over.

His subtext is to avoid the important and ignore the important, indicating that they also recognize the status of Yukiren Mizukage, but not everything in Kirigakure is decided by the Mizukage.

Xue Lian didn't say a word during the entire process.

In fact, this scene was not unexpected by him.

Before the meeting, he had already made some remarks to test the attitude of the ninja clan.

As expected, the overall attitude within the Water Kingdom is divided into two groups towards the new policy.

Conservatives who oppose openness and progressives who support openness.

Although in terms of strength comparison, Xue Lian, as a newly promoted Mizukage, has already taken the initiative in the situation.

But if she wanted to change the policy of the Kingdom of Water that had been established since the second generation Mizukage period, Xue Lian also knew that it would not be easy to push it forward with just her mouth and Mizukage's status.

Conservative policies have been deeply rooted in people's hearts for two generations.

The people who support conservatism are not just the ninja representatives sitting in front of Xue Lian, but behind them there are also a large number of ordinary people in Kirigakure Village who are used to and adapted to this way of life.

As a Mizukage, if Xue Ren wants to change the status quo, it is not advisable to take strong measures.

He must let those who oppose him see that doing so can bring tangible benefits...or the harm that will be caused by not doing so.

In this way, he can promote change.

Thinking of this, Xue Lian finally spoke: "Everyone, please be patient."

As the Mizukage spoke in person, the quarrel among the people present immediately subsided.

Only then did Xue Lian take the initiative and said: "I know your position and attitude very well, so I hope to convince you with facts."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll-like thing from his arms and handed it to Yagura beside him.

"Yakura, it's up to you."
