In general, the Akatsuki organization is slowly draining the potential of the Hidden Mist Village. This is like boiling a frog in warm water. Although the process is relatively "gentle", the ending is already doomed.
Although Karutagi Yagura insisted on relying on the Hidden Mist Village itself to deal with the members of the Akatsuki organization, some "knowledgeable people" in the Hidden Mist Village would not agree.
The Akatsuki organization is now targeting the Hidden Mist Village with all its might. Almost any Mist Ninja who leaves the village to carry out a mission will be hunted down by the Akatsuki organization.
In terms of personal strength, the members of the Akatsuki organization can be said to be the best in the world, and hunting down the Mist Ninjas who leave the village to carry out missions is a piece of cake for them.
There is no need to say much about the Chunins and Genins. Just kill as many as you can when you get out. Even if there are some that slip through the net, it doesn't matter.
Especially the jonin, jonin, and even the Kage-level strongmen, although they have personal strength as a guarantee when they go out of the village to perform missions, the members of the Akatsuki organization are not weak either.
Moreover, the number of top ninjas in a village is limited, and if one dies, there is one less. Uchiha Obito also saw this point and listed the top ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village as targets to be killed.
After a period of pursuit and blockade, most of the senior ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village were killed or injured, and the Hidden Mist Village had no way to deal with the Akatsuki organization.
The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. The Hidden Mist Village cannot give up accepting mission commissions. After all, this is the financial source of most ninja villages.
But if ninjas are sent out of the village to carry out missions, they will inevitably be attacked by the Akatsuki organization.
Although the training period for ninjas is relatively short, they can be sent to the battlefield in about three years. Even if they are cannon fodder, they are still useful.
But it is different for ninjas at the rank of Jonin and above. They are stronger and play a greater role, but they are relatively difficult to train and their growth cycle is even longer.
Therefore, the Hidden Mist Village would not take the loss of some Chunin and Genin too seriously, but if a large number of Jonin in the village died, it would be a heavy burden that they could not bear...
This was Uchiha Obito's strategy, which was to ambush and kill the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village when they left the village to perform missions.
As a result, the Hidden Mist Village suffered terribly, and the controlled Karatachi Yagura not only did nothing, but also made one stupid move after another.
After Akatsuki stepped up its efforts, some people in the Hidden Mist Village finally couldn't sit still anymore...
Mei Terumi's family, together with some ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, launched a coup.
Karuta Yagura was forced to step down, and while investigating Karuta Yagura, the investigating ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village also discovered something abnormal about Karuta Yagura.
Now the fun is here!
The news that Karutagi Yagura's mind was controlled spread like wildfire, and the entire Kirigakure Village fell into panic.
Just imagine, if the Fourth Mizukage Karutagi Yagura could be controlled by someone with ulterior motives, what if it was someone else...
In this way, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village fell into mutual suspicion, and the division became even more serious because of the implementation of the "Blood Mist Village" policy for many years.
Helplessly, Mei Terumi, who became the fifth Mizukage, could only try her best to appease the people and even began to ask for help from the four hidden villages.
However, apart from Konoha, the remaining Sand Village, Iwagakure Village, and Kumogakure Village stood idly by for various reasons.
But it was Hatake Akira who benefited from the Akatsuki organization's destruction of the Hidden Mist Village. Although he agreed to help, he did not put in any effort, and the situation in the Hidden Mist Village did not change much.
In order to stabilize the people's hearts in the village, Mei Terumi offered various benefits more than once, just to let Konoha take action to destroy the "Darkness of the Ninja World" Akatsuki organization.
But how could Hatake Akira agree to this!
Even if he wanted to agree, he couldn't do it now. He had to wait until the Hidden Mist Village was severely weakened and the people's hearts were unstable before he could take action to turn the tide.
In this way, the clock of the ninja world moved forward two months, and the "closed-door" policy of the Hidden Mist Village has lasted for more than two months.
This was the only solution Mei Terumi could think of. She didn't believe that the Akatsuki organization would directly attack the Hidden Mist Village.
However, although such a defense can minimize the casualties in the Hidden Mist Village, the completion rate and amount of mission assignments have dropped sharply.
This made the remaining four hidden villages very happy. Since the Hidden Mist Village had given up its martial arts, they could naturally share the share of the Hidden Mist Village's commissioned tasks.
Because of this, although the Hidden Mist Village is still tirelessly asking for help from the four major hidden villages, except for Konoha which is making some superficial efforts, the other three hidden villages are all standing by and watching.
Under internal and external pressures, the Hidden Mist Village is once again in turmoil. The ninjas, residents, merchants, and vendors are almost unable to survive!
The self-isolation of the Hidden Mist Village caused a sharp drop in the number of commissioned tasks completed, which led to a financial deficit in the village. Moreover, due to security issues, many people were deterred from visiting the Hidden Mist Village.
Without traffic, there will naturally be no trading volume. How do the merchants living in the Hidden Mist Village survive?
If a tree is moved, it will die; if a person moves, he will live. Since we can no longer stay in the Hidden Mist Village, we can just move to another place.
Then where to go?
This is of course necessary. Konoha is the safest, richest place in the ninja world, and it is also the most friendly place to outsiders.
So in the second month after the Hidden Mist Village was closed, some small vendors began to flee the village, and some civilians were also affected by this trend and left the village with their families and went to Konoha.
Mei Terumi thought about trying to stop it, but there were too many people fleeing and it was impossible to kill them all. Moreover, if fighting and blood were shed, the panic would intensify, which would be like drinking poison to quench thirst.
"Godaime Mizukage-sama, this is the document passed on by Konoha's Acting Hokage, Hatake Akira."
"Well, let it go."
Mei Terumi is only 16 years old this year, but she has grown into a graceful young lady, exuding the aura of a strong woman.
But even so, it was difficult to hide the sorrow and fatigue on Mei Terumi's face. The Hidden Mist Village had really reached a point of life and death.
After picking up the document on the table and taking a look at it, Mei Terumi slammed the document back on the table.
"This is too much. That guy Hatake Akira is simply... simply taking advantage of the situation!"
It's no wonder that Mei Terumi was so angry. Hatake Akira wrote it very clearly in the document that if Konoha wanted to help the Hidden Mist Village overcome the difficulties, the Hidden Mist Village must become a subordinate ninja village of Konoha.
There is a huge difference between ninja villages and hidden villages. The former are everywhere in the entire ninja world, while the latter only have five in total.
If Mei Terumi really agreed, it would be like destroying her own martial arts and toppling herself from the transcendent position of the Five Hidden Villages!
But if you don't agree...
The small vendors and civilian residents in the Hidden Mist Village are almost all running away. If time goes on, the Hidden Mist Village will probably be the first force to self-disintegrate.
"no!"
Mei Terumi slammed the table again, "Qing, have you investigated the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization?!"
Chapter 355 Despair.
The Hidden Mist Village has now reached this point, and the only solution Mei Terumi can think of is to take the initiative to attack.
Passive defense will only make the situation worse. The Akatsuki organization's targeting will be maximized, and the Hidden Mist Village will fall into a passive defensive situation.
As long as they can find the Akatsuki's lair or seize its weak spot, the Hidden Mist Village can rely on its numerical advantage to completely wipe out the Akatsuki.
Although this method is just wishful thinking, it is much more feasible than "closing the country to the outside world".
After all, there is a saying that you can fight a thief for a thousand days, but there is no saying that you can guard against a thief for a thousand days.
However, Mei Terumi's ideas and countermeasures were doomed to fail. Not only was Akatsuki's base in Rain Village well hidden, but its members' intelligence was also kept extremely confidential.
Apart from knowing that there are a few Uchiha clan members in the Akatsuki organization, plus some rebellious ninjas in each force, various countries and forces know nothing else.
The reason for this situation is closely related to the secret support of Konoha Village. The underground intelligence network owned by the major hidden villages has become a mere formality due to the interference of Konoha intelligence ninjas.
"Mitsuki-sama, I'm very sorry, but we don't have any information about Akatsuki's base yet. We don't even know who the leader of Akatsuki is."
Qing lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Mei Terumi opposite him.
However, there is one thing that Ao did not tell Mei Terumi, that he is actually an external staff member of the Kara organization.
That’s right, Qing also belongs to the Kara organization and is secretly helping the Kara organization find the so-called "body".
Aoya once used his identity to try to find out specific information about the Akatsuki organization through the Kara organization.
After all, the Kara organization has existed for thousands of years and undoubtedly has more advantages than the emerging Akatsuki organization.
Unfortunately, the leader of the Kara organization, Jigen, did not respond to Ao, nor did he leak the information about the Akatsuki that the Kara organization knew.
As for why Jigen did this, it ultimately came down to it being because of Hatake Akira.
Jigen doesn't want to attract too much attention from Hatake Akira because of a small Akatsuki organization, which will not help the resurrection of Otsutsuki Isshiki at all.
What's more, the more muddy the water in the ninja world is, the more opportunities the Kara organization will have to fish in troubled waters. It is best to turn a deaf ear and dumb at this time.
Without the intelligence support from the Kara organization, and with the Hidden Mist Village's secret intelligence network destroyed by Konoha's intelligence ninjas, the entire Hidden Mist Village has been unable to do anything about the Akatsuki organization.
"Is it... is it really true that we can only agree to Hatake Akira's request in order for the Hidden Mist Village to have a chance of survival?!"
Boom!
Hammering the desk angrily, Mei Terumi was in a very bad mood. Once she agreed to the proposal in Hatake Akira's document, the Hidden Mist Village might survive, but it would lose hope for the future.
After venting her anger briefly, Terumi Mei calmed down and said, "Ao, do you think Konoha and Hatake Akira are behind the Akatsuki incident?"
Mei Terumi's judgment was based on facts. Among the Akatsuki members who came to attack the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, there were several ninjas from the Uchiha clan, and each of them had a Mangekyō Sharingan.
There is no need to explain what Uchiha represents, which makes it easy for people to associate Akatsuki with Konoha.
However, what Mei Terumi could think of, Hatake Akira could naturally also think of, and he had already filled this loophole.
As for how to make up for it, it was all thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen who had died in the rebellion.
The people are already dead, so it doesn't matter if they take one more blame. The biggest blamer in the ninja world was Danzo Shimura, who became Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, due to the special nature of the Akatsuki organization, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only bear the blame for the positive aspects. When Hatake Akira decided to let Uchiha Shisui join the Akatsuki organization, it was announced that Uchiha Shisui became a traitor to Konoha.
As for the reason, it was naturally because Uchiha Shisui opposed the decision of the Konoha high-level leaders and launched a rebellion when Hatake Akira, Namikaze Minato, and Hatake Kakashi were out.
Because of this rebellion, Sarutobi Hiruzen died and Uchiha Shisui defected.
Konoha had already found a reason to distance itself from several Uchiha members of the Akatsuki organization, so even if someone still had suspicions, it would be of no avail.
"It's possible, but it's totally unnecessary."
Qing, who was standing next to Mei Terumi, shook his head and said, "Just think about it. With Konoha's current strength, if they want to unify the ninja world, they can just push forward. There is no need to go through so much trouble."
"Right……"
Mei Terumi nodded, agreeing more with what Ao said.
In the subconscious of the ninja, the strong can dominate everything. As the most powerful hidden village in the ninja world, Konoha can completely launch a war of unification that is sure to win.
Mei Terumi, who had just ascended to the position of the Fifth Mizukage, had not yet transformed her ninja identity into a political identity. She thought about things mostly from a ninja's perspective, and was quite slow to react to Konoha's plans.
"Are we really going to agree to Hatake Akira's unreasonable demands?"
But one thing is for sure, the fact that the Hidden Mist Village became a subordinate ninja village of Konoha still made Mei Terumi feel indignant and unwilling.
"Lord Mizukage, Akatsuki is a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. We cannot kill it with one strike, so we can only be slowly devoured by Akatsuki."
"As far as the current situation is concerned, we have already lost the initiative. The only result of dragging it out is..."
Having said this, Qing stopped talking, and Terumi Mei could understand what Qing wanted to express.
"But...I really can't accept this!"
