Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 231 Lord Ye is just too kindhearted
After this incident, Sand Village's status in the ninja world will inevitably plummet, and it may even fall out of the level of the five major countries and become a second-rate force.

How to get through the difficult times that are coming is the biggest headache for all the Sand Village leaders.

Obviously, the best way at the moment is to cling to Mizunotsukiyomi, strengthen the alliance between himself and Kirigakure, and obtain Kirigakure's protection.

Only in this way can Sunagakure protect itself in the chaotic situation that will follow.

Fortunately, their expectations were not disappointed. The merciful Mizunotsuki Ye showed the magnanimity of a 'shadow'. Not only did he not take advantage of their misfortune, he also acknowledged the alliance status of Sunagakure and Kirigakure, and said that he would send a support team to aid Sunagakure in the next process.

Rasachiyo and others were extremely grateful to Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, and even openly stated that Sunagakure was the "subordinate" of Kirigakure. The Fourth Mizukage Mizunoe Tsukiyomi was not only the jade of the Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water, but also the jade of Sunagakure!
There is no double sun in the sky, but Sand Village has double jades!

In response to this, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi smiled and said that Kirigakure would not interfere with Sunagakure in any way, and that the sovereignty of Sunagakure belonged to Sunagakure itself, and he was just here to help his allies.

However, given that Sunagakure has the gold miner Rasa, Kirigakure did not provide financial assistance this time. It only provided ninjas and engineering teams to help Sunagakure rebuild after the war, and asked Kirigakure's merchants to provide a large amount of supplies and sell them to Sunagakure.

Of course, given the alliance, there is still a discount, so let's take a 11% discount~
What? Why is it 11% off?
Lord Mizukage has issued a price limit order. The price of all commodities cannot be higher than 10% of the limit, nor can it be lower than 10% of the limit. We have come all the way from the Water Country, and we are making an extra 10 points from you. That's not too much, right?

Supplies and manpower are secondary. The most crucial thing is that the top management of Sand Village has clearly stated that in the future, Sand Village will benchmark Kirigakure in all aspects and follow Kirigakure's pace of development.

In response, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi said that it was an honor for Kirigakure to be recognized by Sunagakure, one of the five major countries, and it was also a success of Kirigakure's current policy. He then handed the Shadow Island Scroll that he had prepared long ago to the Sunagakure top leaders.

"Then we'll take our leave."

At the gate of the Sand Village, Ye smiled and waved goodbye to Rasa. Under the gazes of enthusiastic respect and reluctance from countless Sand Village people and ninjas, he left Sand Village with Zabuza's team, Mei Terumi and others.

The convoy drove slowly on the yellow sandy streets, just as leisurely and calmly as when they arrived, just like tourists visiting the Land of Wind.

"I don't know."

In the carriage, Guang stared at Ye and asked in confusion, "With your strength and influence, you are fully capable of taking over the Sand Village, one of the five great nations. Why did you leave like this?"

"Allies are meaningless. The current Sand Village is in ruins. Since you want Sand Village as an ally, you will have to pay a huge price to help Sand Village. This is a completely unprofitable deal."

"Then what do you think I should do?" Ye leaned in Terumi Mei's arms and asked calmly, "Dismember them and eat them?"

"Not bad!"

Uchiha Hikaru didn't care about Ye Cang who frowned beside him, and nodded and said: "I have read the Shinobi World Geography. The greatest value of this village lies in its mineral resources buried deep underground, which happens to be scarce in your Kirigakure."

"You can destroy the Sand Country, or even the Wind Country, and swallow up this old country with the absolute power of the Mist Country, dig out its resources, seize bloodline, magnetic style, and burning style, which are also good things."

"Of course, you can form an alliance with Sunagakure and rely on your own strength to accomplish this to a certain extent, but the political intrigues and transactions in the middle are really troublesome, and may even breed parasites and hidden dangers. It is better to do it in one go!"

Hearing Uchiha Guang's words, Ye Cang's eyes became even colder, but Ye Shen nodded in agreement.

What Guang said makes sense. If Sand Village wants to truly tap its value at this stage, it must indeed do it according to what Guang said. This is also what most of the ninja clans in the Warring States Period did.

They seized resources and bloodlines, turning men into slaves and women into maids.

Eat their flesh, drink their blood, knock their bones, and dig out their marrow!

But there is no way, this is not the most valuable thing for Ye.

Looking at Ye who nodded and shook his head, Uchiha Guang showed a puzzled look. On the contrary, Terumi Mei, who was rubbing Ye's forehead, explained casually: "Just think of this guy as being kind."

Mei Terumi, who came with him, was no longer surprised by Ye's actions.

Not to mention Sand Village, even if it was Konoha, the richest city in the ninja world, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi had several chances to seize it.

But Ye did not do that, he just took Muye as his younger brother.

As the secretary of the Mizukage and one of the people who knows best at this stage the extent of the power of the Hidden Mist Village and Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, Mei Terumi has long known that the man lying in her arms has the power and influence to overthrow the entire ninja world.

Even if it is to deal with the people from outer space and the immortals in the netherworld, it is better to conquer the sky first and then reorganize the forces, so as to unite all the forces into one rope, than the current situation.

But as time passed, and as Ye's plan slowly unfolded, Mei Terumi actually guessed some of Ye's thoughts...

Kindness?

This adjective made Ye Cang's mouth twitch slightly, and also made Uchiha Guang frown deeply.

"Checks and balances are indeed what a ruler should think, but being too lenient will inevitably lead to hidden dangers."

"I accept your kind reminder." Ye Dan smiled, then changed the subject and looked up at Terumi Mei: "Ming, what do you think about sending Guang to the Ninja School to study for two years first?"

"Read, read?!"

The young girl who was originally giving advice suddenly froze in her face.

Mei Terumi frowned slightly, looked up and down at Uchiha Hikaru, and was a little hesitant.

"In terms of strength, whether Miss Guang is directly transformed into a Shinigami or a Quincy, she is a good choice. She is even capable of defeating the Shinigami captain and the members of the Royal Guard."

"But if, as you said, this Miss Guang is an Uchiha weapon from a hundred years ago... letting her study for two years might actually be a good choice."

The Kirigakure Ninja School has long since been reformed. Not only does it develop students morally, intellectually and physically, it also has a variety of courses such as history and science. Studying in the Ninja School for two years can not only allow Guang, a person from the old era, to have a more comprehensive understanding of this era, but it can also fill the blank childhood of this girl who was used as a weapon!
"Okay, when we get back, I'll arrange for her to enroll in school, starting from junior high school?"

"Well, let's just do junior high school, and take it slow." Ye Wang shrank back against Terumi Mei's soft belly, completely ignoring Guang's face which had become stiff and she didn't know what to say.

Well, it’s the spoils of war. Just listen carefully.

Mizunoe Tsukiyori and his group headed towards the Land of Water at a leisurely pace, and the series of news that broke out in the Sand Village quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

The ninja world is shaken!

The Fourth Kazekage was controlled, the leader of the Akatsuki organization invaded, the examination venue was destroyed, and the Fourth Mizukage turned the tide...

How come every scene in this scene seems familiar?

The Hidden Mist Village seemed to be the same back then!

The Third Mizukage was controlled, the Kirigakure front showed a total defeat, and finally Mizunoe Tsukiyomi turned the tide, saved everything, and succeeded as the Fourth Mizukage.

"As the Fourth Kazekage, I am deeply sorry for what happened to the Sand Village, but we must recognize the threat of the Akatsuki organization!"

"This terrifying and evil ninja organization has attacked the Iron Kingdom and our Wind Kingdom successively, causing huge damage. Even Konoha's Nine-Tails Rebellion is closely related to the Akatsuki organization. The person behind it has even successively controlled the Third Mizukage and me, the Wind Kage. Its ambition and way of thinking are terrifying!"

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa held a press conference the next day. While those ninja villages were still intimidated by the name of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, he pointed the finger at the Akatsuki organization!
"According to the information provided by Sunagakure and Konoha, we have a certain understanding of the Akatsuki organization." "The members of the Akatsuki organization all wear black windbreakers embroidered with red clouds, wear hats with wind chimes on their heads, wear rings with their code names on the corresponding fingers, and paint their nails with nail polish. And all members are rebel ninjas."

"Its members include our Sand Village's S-rank rebel ninja, the Akatsuki Jade Maiden who killed the Third Kazekage and fled from Sand Village, the Red Sand Scorpion."

"Konoha's A-rank rebel ninja, mastering special secret techniques and possessing multiple bloodlines, Akatsuki's Blue Dragon, Hiruko."

"The remnant of the former air ninja, the Akatsuki's Nanto Shennong who possesses superb medical ninjutsu."

"And the last leader of the Akatsuki organization who possesses the Rinnegan, Akatsuki Zero!"

"In addition, we also learned from the information provided by the Mizukage that the Akatsuki organization also has four official members, including Haku, Xuan, Kong, and San. Their strength must not be underestimated."

"at last!"

Luo Sha slowly said: "According to the information that Lord Mizukage got from the leader of Akatsuki, Akatsuki's next target is the tailed beast!"

"what?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the reporters in the audience were excited and the ninja world was shocked!

They don't understand why Akatsuki, a force that is obviously a terrorist organization, would target the tailed beasts. Even the five major countries that each own tailed beasts are quite troubled by the issue of tailed beasts.

Of course, except for Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

In order to limit Shukaku's power, Sunagakure had no choice but to let Rasa, who was the Kage, become the Jinchūriki.

The situation in Kumogakure is slightly better. The Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails can grow up peacefully with the villagers in the village, but hidden dangers similar to the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha have always existed.

Since the Akatsuki organization was able to create the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha, they can also create the Tailed Beast Disaster in Kumogakure!
"No, the threat of Akatsuki must be eliminated!"

In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage's face was filled with anger. Not to mention that he and Killer Bee were like brothers, the two Jinchūriki were now an indispensable fighting force for the Hidden Cloud Village. If the Akatsuki organization's target was really the tailed beast, then it was only a matter of time before the two sides would confront each other.

However, the strength displayed by the Akatsuki organization is indeed beyond imagination.

Especially the leader of the Akatsuki organization, who not only possessed the legendary Rinnegan of the Six Paths Sage, but was also able to escape from the monster Mizunoe Tsukiyomi.

If they, the Cloud Village, unilaterally clash with the Akatsuki organization, they probably have little chance of winning.

"Linen clothes."

The Fourth Raikage, who had calmed down, spoke in a deep voice and called his female secretary: "We must face up to the threat of the Akatsuki organization, deal with the Akatsuki organization seriously, and nip their evil conspiracy in the bud."

"Send a message to the Mizukage immediately. I want to convene a Kage Council!"

"Yes, Raikage-sama!"

……

Iwagakure Village, inside the Tsuchikage's office.

Ōnoki's short figure was shaking with anger. If he hadn't considered that this was the Tsuchikage's office, he would probably have used Dust Release to vent his anger.

"Boom!!"

Even so, Ohnoki still punched the desk with an extremely gloomy look.

"I'm sorry, old man." The captain of this team, the third Tsuchikage Ohnoki's biological son Huang Tu lowered his head, with a look of self-blame on his rough face: "I failed to protect Deidara, I am willing to accept any punishment!"

"It's not Daddy's fault, old man. It's that guy called Hiruko who was too insidious!" Kurotsuchi said loudly, "That guy had mastered the Kekkei (bloodline of swift escape), and Daddy was still fighting with Pain at the time. He had no time to react, and Deidara, that arrogant idiot, was captured."

"Dad wanted to get it back as soon as possible, but those Paynes with the Samsara Eye were too strong. We had no way to deal with it, old man!"

"..."

Ohnoki clenched his fists. He understood very well that Huangtu was not responsible for what happened. However, he was unwilling to accept such an outcome.

Although Deidara had a bad temper and was a bit noisy yelling about so-called art all day long, his talent was unquestionable. Ohnoki even trained him as his future successor.

But he didn't expect that the Chunin Exam, which he regarded as a way to show off his muscles, would actually cause Iwagakure to lose such a top genius!
After all, the source of this responsibility is him, the Tsuchikage!

"You all go down first."

"Old man..." Looking at the silent Tsuchikage, Heitu pursed his lips, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.

After a moment, Heitu wanted to say something, but Huangtu grabbed his hand and took him out of the office.

"Let father rest in peace. Deidara is a boy that father has poured countless efforts into."

"I know, but..."

Heitu was silent for a moment and only let out a sigh.

Although he hated Deidara, after losing him, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

In the Tsuchikage's office, Ōnoki fell into silence for a long time as he looked at the intelligence scroll on the table.

The battle of the Box of Bliss took away thousands of elite soldiers of Iwagakure and destroyed Iwagakure. It was originally thought that the emergence of new stars such as Deidara meant that the future of Iwagakure had never ended, but it was unexpected that the ninja world had reached this point.

Akatsuki, Samsara Eye, Mizunotsukiyo...

In front of these monsters, the Iwagakure seedlings, which have not yet grown up, have no room to resist at all, and it is even difficult for them to survive.

The so-called will of rock is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of these guys!
Ohnoki's eyes couldn't help but fall on the corner of the office.

Several pure white dolls sealed in special glass containers are lifelike. They are the artistic masterpieces given to him by Deidara.

"Old man, my art is the most perfect, huh!"

"They need to be protected..." Ohnoki looked at the pure white puppet, his clenched hands making the look in his eyes become more determined: "No, the young people of Iwagakure should not continue to survive in such a dangerous situation!"

"Iwagakure needs a harder shield and sharper weapons. Only in this way can the indomitable and unshakable will of stone be better passed on!"
