The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

But it's too difficult to pronounce.

If you only listen to it once, probably not many people will remember it.

Therefore, the meaning of this name exists only in writing.

People will definitely use the simplified name verbally.

However, the abbreviation that followed was too simplistic in the eyes of the Fourth Raikage.

All that's left is the word "fog".

It sounds like it's only related to Kirigakure.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure are completely invisible.

Yagura spoke first, saying to the Fourth Raikage, "Originally, I was thinking of naming it the Garden of Mist and Clouds, but that name is quite awkward and not easy to remember. Besides, clouds and mist are essentially the same thing."

"When clouds are low, they become fog."

"When fog is high up, it becomes clouds."

"The word 'mist' can represent both our Hidden Mist Village and your Hidden Cloud Village. As for Hidden Stone Village, their plight is very pitiful, but in terms of strength contribution, Hidden Stone Village will certainly not be very high in the alliance."

"That's why I didn't include the name of Iwagakure in the simplified name list."

"Raikage, is there anything wrong with this name?"

The Fourth Raikage:

Of course, there was a problem in the Fourth Raikage's mind.

What is cloud is fog, and what is fog is cloud.

Since they're all the same, why not simplify the name to Cloud Garden?

However, the full name includes the name of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

In short, Yagura's reasoning has a certain logic.

In addition, Yagura deliberately emphasized Iwagakure.

For a moment, the Fourth Raikage didn't know how to refute it.

"Let me look at the others first."

The Fourth Raikage did not answer, but instead moved on to another topic.

"it is good."

Below the names is the organizational structure.

"The status and rights of the alliance are above those of an individual ninja village. If you join the alliance, you must prioritize the interests of the alliance and act in accordance with the alliance's rules and orders."

“Establish a council of elders.”

"One speaker will be the Mizukage of Kirigakure."

"Several councilors will be appointed from among the Kage or leaders of the various ninja villages."

Some ninja villages do not have the concept of Kage.

They were simply called leaders.

"The alliance's action plan shall be decided jointly by the elders."

"The Alliance Conference Building was built in the center of the base."

"The meeting resolution will be decided by a vote."

"The speaker and members of parliament each have different voting rights."

"The speaker accounts for 40% of the total."

"The remaining members of parliament account for 60%."

Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage could still accept it.

Based on the current situation, Kirigakure takes 40%, while Kumogakure and Iwagakure share the remaining 60%.

It's not accurate to say that Kirigakure is a one-man show.

In that case, Kumogakure would become a complete vassal of Kirigakure.

This would be difficult for the Fourth Raikage to accept.

Even as more and more ninja villages joined the Garden of Mist, the Hidden Cloud Village still retained a voice.

However, suddenly, the Fourth Raikage frowned.

"Veto power?"

The Fourth Raikage looked up at Yagura.

"Mizukage, what does the Speaker's veto power mean?"

Yagura said, "It's a resolution passed in parliament, and the speaker has the right to veto it."

"Our Hidden Mist Village will have to pay a heavy price to create this alliance."

"Much more than any other ninja village."

"We, the Hidden Mist Village, are willing to work towards a common goal."

"We are also willing to divide up some of the rights of the alliance."

"However, we do not want the power of Kirigakure to be used for the selfish interests of others."

“We don’t want to be forced to do things we don’t want to do,”

"This is our bottom line."

The Fourth Raikage was encountering the concept of veto power for the first time.

But instinctively, I felt that this thing would bring great power to Kirigakure.

And in fact, it is indeed the case.

Forty percent of the voting rights, plus a veto power.

Basically, within the alliance, Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) has the final say on most matters.

After all, besides these two points, Kirigakure has other political means.

The Fourth Raikage opened his mouth, wanting to secure a veto for the Hidden Cloud Village as well.

Later, Yagura rejected it.

“The veto power cannot be abused. If all members of parliament have this power, then our alliance will likely be unable to get anything done.”

"Especially after the number of members increases."

Yagura paused for a moment, then said, "If the Raikage has no problem, please sign your name here."

The Fourth Raikage's pupils contracted slightly as he followed the direction Yagura pointed.

It was at this moment that the Fourth Raikage noticed that, in addition to Yagura's name, there was another name on it.

hunting.

Hunting in Iwagakure Village.

After many of Iwagakure's top ninjas were killed by Konoha, Kari, an elite Jonin from Iwagakure who possessed the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, became the highest-ranking figure in Iwagakure.

It is not a shadow, but it performs the duties of a shadow.

The Fourth Raikage remained silent for a moment.

"Mizukage, are the voting rights in our Hidden Cloud Village fixed?"

"That's right. Kumogakure initially had a fixed 25% and Iwagakure initially had a fixed 15%. As they were the founding members of the alliance, their voting rights would not decrease even if more ninja villages joined later."

Yagura said, "In addition, the initial members of the Garden of Mist will be able to obtain the opportunity to contract a Zanpakuto."

When the Fourth Raikage showed resistance, Yagura revealed his last trump card.

Sure enough, the Fourth Raikage's eyes lit up after hearing this.

This is not the time when Zanpakuto had just appeared.

Several ninjas from Kirigakure have already proven the value of Zanpakuto through their performances.

It is absolutely incomparable to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.

It can actually create Kage-level ninjas.

The Fourth Raikage was also quite envious of the Zanpakuto of Kirigakure.

The ordinary ninjas of Kumogakure are not bad in terms of strength.

Compared to Kirigakure, the only difference lies in the number of elite ninjas.

Apart from the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, there are no other elite ninjas who can be considered outstanding.

Darui and Samui are both young and need time to grow.

In the Fourth Raikage's view, with Kirigakure taking 40% of the voting rights and Kumogakure taking 25%, Kumogakure actually benefited from this distribution, while Kirigakure suffered a loss.

However, the veto power not only made up for the losses suffered by Kirigakure, but also allowed Kirigakure to gain many advantages.

However, Kirigakure offered up the opportunity to form a contract with their Zanpakuto.

This made the Fourth Raikage think that it wasn't unacceptable for Kirigakure to have veto power.

After all, a veto power can only guarantee that the Fog Garden will not do anything.

However, there is no guarantee that the Garden of Mist will do what the Hidden Mist Village orders.

For Hidden Cloud Village, the risk is not so high.

The plan was drafted by several high-ranking officials of Kirigakure, including Yagura, Genji, Uehara Osamu, and the Third Mizukage.

Osamu Uehara contributed a great deal of content to it.

We must strive to give Kirigakure as much power as possible.

We also need to ensure that Iwagakure and Kumogakure will agree.

It is essential to strike the right balance.
