I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Chiaki stared wide-eyed at Mei Terumi. These past few days had been the time when he killed Madara Uchiha, so it was normal for the Fourth Mizukage to change.

"The Mizukage hasn't shown his face for the past few days. If it weren't for the fact that I could still sense his chakra, I would have started to suspect that he might be..."

Mei Terumi pursed her lips and said, her eyes full of worry, "If he is really being controlled by someone, then his silence these past few days makes me worry that he might be brewing some bigger conspiracy!"

Chapter 412 slowly typed out a question mark

I won’t be sleepy anymore if you say that!

Qianqiu's eyes lit up.

Good guy.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, hasn't appeared these past few days.

Doesn't that mean he's already offline?

If the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, regained his senses, he would undoubtedly appear immediately to explain what had happened during that time.

Even if things don't go well, he will at least make some statement.

But in the end, he did nothing.

What does this mean?

This means that the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, has not regained his original sanity at all!

Having been forcibly controlled by the Sharingan for so many years, Madara Uchiha was unable to recover even after being killed by himself, which shows how thorough Madara Uchiha's control over the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was back then.

Maybe Madara Uchiha brainwashed the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and completely replaced his brain.

This greatly increases Qianqiu's chances of success.

Qianqiu now faces two possibilities.

First, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, is still under control, but the controller has changed, for example, Obito.

Secondly, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, is in a state of complete mental dementia, and no one is taking over his control.

Qianqiu believes the second possibility is more likely!

Taking down a Shadow without any sense of reason is far too easy.

"I see……"

Chiaki nodded in satisfaction and said to Terumi Mei, "I understand what you mean..."

Mei Terumi looked at Chiaki gratefully, bowed to her, and said, "Then, I'll trouble you, Lady Chiaki, to release the Fourth Mizukage's control..."

"...I will help you become the Fifth Mizukage!"

Chiaki and Terumi Mei spoke in unison, but after they finished speaking, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Uh……"

"emmmm..."

Chiaki blinked, and Terumi Mei awkwardly touched her cheek.

"So it wasn't an assassination, nor was it because I wanted to become the Fifth Mizukage!"

Mei Terumi sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Lady Chiaki, you've misunderstood!"

"...Don't you want to be the Fifth Mizukage?"

Chiaki looked at Mei Terumi in surprise, and Mei Terumi awkwardly explained, "That's not it... I do want to become the Fifth Mizukage..."

"Then it's over."

Chiaki gave Mei Terumi a simple and straightforward thumbs up, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help Mei-chan!"

Mei Terumi nearly fainted, her face flushed with excitement: "That's not what I meant!"

"I do want to be the Fifth Mizukage, but not in this way..."

"Alright, alright, no need to explain anymore, go and get some rest."

Chiaki finished her food with a smile, returned the bowl to Bi, winked at Terumi Mei, sat down to the side and closed her eyes, clearly indicating that she was not going to listen.

From Chiaki's perspective, all she needed to do was eliminate the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and the war between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire would be over.

Konoha can then free up its resources to deal with the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, achieving two goals at once.

Terumi Meimi Chiaki, who had originally wanted to say something, could only sigh helplessly at this sight.

"Young lady, actually, it wouldn't be bad for you to just become the Fifth Mizukage."

Ao whispered in Mei Terumi's ear, "With Chiaki-sama's support, your reputation will definitely reach its peak!"

"Yes, young lady, I think you are most suitable to be the Mizukage!"

Bi blindly praised him, not caring about anything else, only knowing that his young lady was the best.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Mei Terumi glanced at Chiaki furtively and said with a troubled expression, "It's my own business that I like Chiaki-sama, but Chiaki-sama is, after all, a Konoha ninja, and this has a very bad influence on our Land of Water..."

"If Lord Chiaki supports me becoming the Mizukage, there will always be voices of opposition throughout the Land of Water..."

"So what?"

Qing scoffed dismissively, "Look at the Land of Wind, their fourth Kazekage wasn't chosen by Lord Chiaki either?"

"Do they dare to have dissenting voices within their country?"

"Once power and strength reach a certain level, such trivial matters become unnecessary."

"The victor is king, the loser is villain, young lady!"

"..."

Mei Terumi pursed her lips. After all, she was still just a teenage girl. Even if she were incredibly talented and strong, she would still feel somewhat lost and confused if she were to suddenly become the Mizukage.

"I don't think there's any need to rush."

Bi scratched her head and said, "After all, our Hidden Mist Village has been in a bit too chaotic these past few years. After Lord Chiaki did that to the Fourth Mizukage, our clan can temporarily stabilize the situation in the village, and then the young lady can take the lead in establishing friendly relations with Konoha."

"Next, we'll slowly sort out the situation in Kirigakure. With the young lady's abilities, once she's managed the village well, the villagers will definitely want her to become the Mizukage."

"?"

Mei Terumi and Ao both looked at Midori, who had been acting like a die-hard fan, with surprise.

good boy!

You look like a big, handsome guy, but I never expected you to be such a management genius.

"Young Miss, I think Bi is absolutely right!"

Ao immediately nodded in agreement and said to Mei Terumi, "Let's do it this way! No problem!"

Mei Terumi thought about it more and more and felt that it made sense. She was an arrogant genius, even though she was currently not qualified to take on the position of Mizukage due to her age, strength, and seniority.

But what about a few years from now?

With the support of Chikyuu and the control of his own family, the Land of Water can remain peaceful for at least a few more years before any voices of discontent emerge.

Over the next few years, Mei Terumi was confident she could achieve Kage-level status and simultaneously manage the internal affairs of Kirigakure.

If you have the ability, experience, and even age, what reason is there not to take the position?

What pleased Mei Terumi even more was that, in this way, her rise to power was not a usurpation accomplished by "murdering" the Fourth Mizukage.

Instead, they truly earned the recognition of the Hidden Mist Village ninjas through their own abilities.

"So that's what Lord Chiaki meant?"

Mei Terumi gratefully turned her gaze to Chiaki, who was meditating with her eyes closed, her eyes filled with even more love.

Lord Qianqiu has thought of everything for me, but I am still hesitating and struggling. If it weren't for Bi's words, I probably wouldn't have realized it yet.

If that's really the case, wouldn't I be letting down Lord Qianqiu's good intentions?

That would be such a terrible sin!

"Lord Chiaki~"

Mei Terumi's love could no longer be held back, and she suddenly threw herself into Chiaki's arms.

"Lord Chiaki! Lord Chiaki! Lord Chiaki!"

My girlish heart is overflowing, and a sense of security wells up inside me.

With you by my side, I can do anything!

Startled, Qianqiu opened his eyes and looked at the lovestruck girl in his arms, slowly casting a question mark.

"?"

Chapter 413 Too much rigidity leads to breakage

Konoha Camp.

An argument is taking place in the command room.

"impossible!"

Kakashi slammed his hand on the table. Despite his young age, as a genius on par with Mei Terumi, he spoke with an air of authority that was not common to ordinary people.

"Lord Chiaki would never betray Konoha!"

"She is the little princess of Konoha, and the entire Konoha belongs to Lady Chiaki and Lady Tsunade!"

"Even if everyone in Konoha, even if you noble clans betray Konoha, she will not betray it!"

These words left the ninjas in the command room looking at each other in bewilderment.

That's right.

Konoha was conquered by Hashirama Senju. As the two princesses of the Senju clan, Tsunade and Chiaki would never betray Konoha; there is no doubt about that.

"Kakashi, don't get so agitated."

Minato waved to Kakashi, then looked at Rin and said to her, "Rin, keep an eye on Kakashi."
