From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 114: Kirigakure Meeting (1w)

Kirigakure, Mizukage Building.

After receiving the news, all the top leaders of Kirigakure gathered in the Mizukage's office.

The Third Mizukage with long jet-black hair was still sitting in his original position with his eyes closed, his hands quietly crossed with his fingers, his brows furrowed, waiting without saying a word.

Outside the door, Kirigakure high-ranking officials and several ninja clan leaders came to the office one after another. After noticing that the Mizukage, who usually took a calm attitude no matter what happened, actually showed this expression, everyone felt a sense of unease at the same time.

Coupled with the conflicts they once had with the third-generation lord, they didn't even dare to speak to persuade him at this moment.

It was not until a while later that the clear sound of a cane tapping on the ground was heard outside. Everyone turned around and looked towards the door as if they had seen a savior.

The Yuanshi, who was wearing a dark grey monk's robe and had a bald head and looked very old at first glance, walked slowly into the door of the Mizukage's office with the help of a young man.

While supporting the master, Goju Yagura glanced at the scene in the office and felt a chill in his heart.

It seems that the news has been fully known to Lord Mizukage.

Not until the Master took his seat with the help of Karatachi Yagura and everyone was present did the door of the Mizukage's office close heavily.

The Third Mizukage then spoke in a cold voice:

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the major intelligence issues that have arisen this time."

He still had his eyes closed and tilted his head towards the Mizukage secretary beside him, doing something.

The Mizukage secretary behind him immediately stepped forward, picked up the thick document, bowed deeply to the many senior executives present, and then spoke:

"The focus of this meeting is the serious problem of a top-secret spy planted by our village in Konoha, codenamed Deep Sea 004, whose real name is Kaguya Ren and alias is Sahara Kiri, showing serious rebellious intentions and single-handedly slaughtering the entire intelligence network planted by our village in Konoha, a total of people."

Almost at the moment when these words were spoken, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of most of the people present.

Since Sawara Kiri is a deep-sea-level spy directly under the Mizukage, a top-level secret spy with almost only one in each ninja village, most of the high-level officials present, except the Mizukage and the Master, don't even know about this.

At this moment, many people were stunned when they heard that Sawara Kiri, who had become famous throughout the ninja world some time ago, was actually a ninja from their own village.

"Sawara Kiri? The 'Kuro no Mist' on the battlefield between Konoha and Sunagakure!"

"I heard that he seems to be a young jonin who is good at swordsmanship. He is only fifteen years old this year, right?"

"Your information is outdated. The latest information is that he is not only good at swordsmanship, but also a special space ninjutsu. He is both offensive and defensive. Ordinary people can't touch him at all."

"Some time ago, even the perfect Jinchuriki of Sunagakure, who they had always regarded as their trump card, was killed by him in one go."

"Because after that fight, the little guy didn't have even a scratch on his body. The Sand Village people already called him 'Takamagahara no Mist'."

This latest update of information immediately made many people present who were lagging behind in information gasp.

He single-handedly killed a perfect Jinchūriki who was giving his all, and himself remained unscathed?
What level of combat power is this?
"hiss--?"

"No, this is our spy?"

"Who on earth threw him into Konoha?"

"."

There was a sudden burst of intense noise in the field, but it gradually quieted down under the inexplicable pressure. Many people looked in the direction of the Third Mizukage and the Master with hidden eyes.

In the entire Hidden Mist Village, if there is anyone who can allow a ninja from his own village to sneak into Konoha without being noticed, I think it can only be these two people in front of him.

but.

But now this is the result.

Let your own talented person with unlimited potential become the pillar of another company.

This question of responsibility.
"Wait a minute? What's going on!?"

Among them, the most astonished person was naturally the current patriarch of the Kaguya clan.

The sturdy man with two small tufts of hair on his head and a scarlet mark on his forehead stood up suddenly and stared in the direction of the water shadow with wide eyes:
"I've never heard of such a person in our tribe being pulled away to be a spy!"

"Mr. Mizukage, what the hell is going on?!"

The leader of the Kaguya clan looked straight at the Third Mizukage with an impulsive and reckless look.

However, only those who were attentive noticed that with just a few words, he had absolved himself of all responsibility in the matter and acted as if he knew nothing about it.

In fact, a member of the family disappeared without any warning in the family land. Could it be that he really didn't know anything about it?
He is a rough but meticulous person, which is probably what this person is like.

Seeing this scene, Goji Yagura felt a huge pressure on him. He glanced at the Master sitting in front of him with a hidden look. His thoughts were very complicated and his face was tense.

A few months ago, he had just submitted a report of his actions to the village, describing that he had re-fixed the control seal formula on 'Sawara Kiri' to ensure the village's ability to control him. At the same time, he did not show any extraordinary combat power at that time.

But it's only been a few months.
First he killed Rasa, then Monzaemon, and then he crossed three thousand miles of yellow sand, led the Konoha soldiers to break through the Sand Village's nest, and killed a one-tailed Jinchūriki by his own strength.

It can be said that he single-handedly pacified Konoha's front-line war with the Kingdom of Wind.

Such achievements have almost secured him the position of the next or next-next Hokage of Konoha - more importantly, the person who did all this is only fifteen years old this year.

For all ninjas in the ninja world, at this age, even if one can reach the level of an ordinary jonin, he or she can already be considered an extremely outstanding genius.

However, Lian did a lot of things that were difficult for someone with the name "Shadow" to do.

The most important thing is
This person was the 'abandoned child' who was sent to Konoha as a Boy Scout by the Hidden Mist Village.

Just after hearing this round of news, even Karatachi Yagura himself felt that this matter was too absurd.

Besides, who should be responsible for sending such a talented person with great potential out of the village?

The person who proposed to deploy intelligence in various ninja villages in the past was the Third Mizukage, and the person who was responsible for the specific implementation of the plan and the design framework was the Master. The selection, assessment, identity verification, and loyalty training were completed by the Kirigakure Anbu.

But unfortunately, the person who is in contact with Lian now is him, Karuta Yagura!
This is equivalent to a game of passing the flower ball that has lasted for ten years. When the flower ball is passed to him, it suddenly explodes!

Who wouldn't be frightened by this?

Therefore, Karuji Yagura is now extremely worried, fearing that he will be used as a scapegoat for this incident and thrown in front of the curtain to be beheaded.

This kind of thing is not uncommon among ninjas.

What was most difficult for him to accept was that the strength that Sawara Kiri displayed on the battlefield of the Wind Country was a world of difference when he came into contact with him.

Karuji Yagura didn't think he had been deceived for so long.

You know, after he took over as the commander-in-chief of Konoha's intelligence network, the first person he began to observe was Sahara Kiri.

It took him a full half month to confirm that this guy was indeed only at the level of special jonin to ordinary jonin at the time, which was why he was so confident.

But all that is being shown now means that all the phenomena he discovered were false?

Karuji Yagura couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to believe it.

"There must be something wrong with that guy!"

However, all the senior executives present had no time to pay attention to the intense psychological activities of Goji Yagura at this moment. All they were thinking about now was the impact this incident would have on the senior structure of Kirigakure.

A rebellion by such an outstanding genius might not be enough to bring down the Mizukage, but what about the people around him? How many seats in the Mizukage building would be vacant?

At this moment, they were like a silent pack of wolves, quietly staring at the fat piece of meat, the Third Mizukage, waiting for him to squeeze out the fresh and delicious fat.

However, the Third Mizukage just listened quietly.

He didn't speak until the place was completely quiet, then he closed his eyes and said:

"Master Yuanshi, please tell me the details."

"Yes."

These two people, who stood at the top of the entire Kirigakure, seemed unaware of the eager eyes around them and continued with the agenda of the meeting.

The Master sat there and narrated calmly:
"According to our battlefield and daily intelligence observations, Kaguya Ren showed a lot of blood-related abilities during the battle, including but not limited to ultra-wide range perception, spatial defense and attack, and strong physical and recovery abilities."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the leader of the Kaguya clan and said, "Chief Kaguya Rimoto, may I ask if the Kaguya clan has concealed the bloodline intelligence in this regard from the village?"

"fart!"

The Kaguya clan leader almost jumped up from his chair and loudly retorted: "If the Kaguya clan had that kind of bloodline, I would have competed for the next Mizukage as a water shadow myself!"

"We have a family tree, and this kind of spatial attribute ability has never appeared in our family for a thousand years!"

After hearing this, Master Yuan nodded gently and continued, "If that's the case, then it means that the powerful strength that Sawara Kiri is showing now is all developed by him in the environment of Konoha, right?"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood the intention of Master Yuan's words.

You see, this strange thing that has never happened to the Hyuga clan in thousands of years has happened to our generation.

If we look at the original bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan, it is impossible for him to have such an accident. This is an extremely accidental phenomenon. We, the people who made the decision, cannot be blamed, right?
When the leader of the Kaguya clan heard this, he immediately realized that he was being used. He stood there hesitating for a long time and was unable to utter a word.

The Third Mizukage spoke directly and concluded: "It is true. The current situation that Kaguya Ren has created is something that none of us could have expected."

“However, as a decision-maker and supervisor, someone still needs to be held accountable for the poor management of the Kaguya Ren case.”

With just one or two sentences, the extremely serious case of "The Rebellion of the Genius from the Mist" was reduced to the level of "Ineffective Control by the Supervisor", and it was easily covered up.

Noticing the interaction between the two, many people present were startled.

It was obvious that the Mizukage and the Master, who had been showing signs of something, must have already reached some consensus in secret, which was why they behaved like this on the field.

As expected, upon hearing what the Third Mizukage said, the Master immediately took over the conversation:

"This case is indeed due to my inadequate management and supervision. I hope that the Mizukage will punish me."

"Then, regarding the second contact with Kaguya Ren, it will be entirely left to you, Master Yuanshi." The Mizukage's voice remained calm.

"Yes."

The two of them went back and forth like this and quickly suppressed the matter, showing a very clear stance.

Seeing this scene, the clan leaders of the Kirigakure Ninja clans looked at each other, all feeling under great pressure.

"But how are we going to get Kaguya Lian back to Kirigakure?"

"Are we really going to let a genius from our Kirigakure become the next Hokage of Konoha?"

Suddenly, a chief with a mouth full of shark teeth grinned and asked.

Noticing the person who spoke, many people present narrowed their eyes slightly, looking like they were enjoying a good show.

That is the patriarch of the Gui Lantern clan.

Since the time of the second Mizukage, the conflict between the Kizuna clan and the current Mizukage has been endless and has never stopped.

"Of course not."

The Yuan Master spoke slowly, looked at the Ghost Lantern Clan leader with a gentle smile, and said calmly: "Although there were various problems with the original plan and control, we still have the last trump card."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the young man behind him: "Yakura, is everything okay?"

At this moment, Karuju Yagura immediately realized that this might be his last chance.

He immediately lowered his head and said:
"Yes!"

"Last time, I updated all the sealing techniques for Kaguya Lian."

"There will be no problem!"

Hearing this, Master Yuan nodded calmly: "Chief Gui Deng, have you heard it?"

"laugh."

The Ghost Lantern Chief didn't say much, he just laughed as if to add insult to injury and leaned back in his chair.

Noticing that no one present had any other objections, the Third Mizukage nodded slightly:

"Then, the rest will be left to Master Yuanshi."

"No matter what, we must subdue Kaguya Ren and restore the original Konoha intelligence network."

“If there are any unexpected problems later on.”

He raised his head and looked at the young man behind Master Yuan.

Karuju Yagura bent down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

"I am willing to be punished."

The Third Mizukage said no more and nodded slightly:
"Let's adjourn."

After all the senior executives had left the conference room, the Third Mizukage sat quietly at his desk, thinking about things related to Sawara Kiri.

As he was thinking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to the Mizukage secretary behind him:

"Some time ago, I seem to have signed an 'underground killing order'. Please help me find it."

Hearing this, the Mizukage secretary's expression suddenly froze:
"M-Mizukage-sama?"

"Ok?"

The Third Mizukage turned and looked at him.

This secretary has been following him for several years, but unfortunately, he is the only one who knows that he signed the underground assassination order against Sawara Kiri.

This pot has to be cleared up.

The secretary obviously also wanted to get rid of this little thing, and his face suddenly turned pale.

The next day, the Mizukage secretary suddenly disappeared from the Mizukage Building.

　Second update.
