The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Mei Terumi immediately left the Mizukage office building to notify, or rather remind, the remaining Kirigakure high-ranking officials who knew the inside story.

The only message that Mei Terumi conveyed was to keep the fact that Mizunotsuki Jin would become the Fifth Mizukage a secret from him!

No wonder that after Mei Terumi finished her private conversation with Yagura Karatachi and Yuanshi, she never showed up again.

Now, after Karuju Yagura and Yuanshi had tested Souji's attitude, they basically agreed with the plan proposed by Mei Terumi.

Therefore, they were deliberately chatting with Souji in the Mizukage's office, talking about everything under the sun, in order to buy time for Mei Terumi to notify the rest of the Kirigakure high-ups.

Although Cang Si felt more and more that something was wrong, he saw that Kirigakure had no ill intentions and that Karutagi Yagura and Yuanshi were surprisingly enthusiastic towards him, so he didn't think about anything else.

"Could it be that Karuta Yagura and Master Yuan are still planning to make me return to Kirigakure?" This thought popped into Cang Si's mind during the chat.

And this may be the deepest possibility that Cang Si, who is not clear about the current situation in Kirigakure, can think of.

"I see. No wonder not only Karujutsu Yagura and Master Yuanshi, but even ordinary Kirigakure citizens and ninjas are so friendly to me now. It seems that they came with this idea in mind!

But, aren't you underestimating me?

There is no benefit for me to return to Kirigakure now, so I'd better not think about it."

Cang Si, who thought he had figured everything out, couldn't help but continue to imagine.

It can be said that now Kirigakure, from top to bottom, is too enthusiastic towards Cang Si.

And Cang Si, whose brain was confused, attributed all this to the fact that Kirigakure wanted him to return.

If Souji knew the true intentions of the Kirigakure top brass, which was to make him the Fifth Mizukage, he would have probably run away long ago.

After all, he once said that he would never become Hokage in this life. Whenever he saw the busy life of his good friend Minato after becoming Hokage, he was still frightened.

Souji even swore at one point that he would rather jump into the river in front of Konoha Village than fight for the position of Hokage.

He, Hinata Souji, is a man of his word!

Ah, now Kirigakure is planning to make Mizunotsuki Jin

Become a water shadow?

Oh, that's okay.

What the hell is the relationship between the Mizukage and the Naruto!

What the hell is the relationship between Mizunotsuki Jin and Hinata Souji!

Cang Si, who had made up his mind not to return to Kirigakure, kept chatting about random things with Karujuu Yagura, Yuanshi and the other two.

Time passed slowly as the three of them chatted.

The three people's chat only came to an end when Mei Terumi returned to the Mizukage's office.

Without Cang Si noticing, Mei Terumi secretly winked at Yagura Karatachi and Yuanshi, implying that she had already notified all the top leaders of Kirigakure.

Seeing this, Karuju Yagura showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing that Goji Yagura was laughing inexplicably again, Cang Si was stunned again.

Cang Si glanced at the calm Yuanshi suspiciously, then looked at Terumi Mei, and then set his sights on Karuju Yagura again.

"Lord Mizukage, I wonder what could make you so happy?" Cang Si asked tentatively.

“Haha, it’s nothing, it’s just that today I saw Jin-kun return to Kirigakure, and we were able to chat like we used to, so I couldn’t help myself.

By the way, it’s getting late, Mr. Jin, I’d better arrange for someone to take you to rest first.

Don't worry, your resting place will not change. It is still the old home of the Snow Clan.

Mei Terumi has already packed everything for you just now."

Goji Yagura laughed it off and evaded Souji's question.

"I see, Mei Terumi just went to clean up my former 'home'!" Hearing what Karuta Yagura said, Souji nodded and said.

Just when Goju Yagura was about to have someone take Cang Si away, he shook his head.

“Forget it. I’m familiar with the place, so I won’t bother Mizukage-sama to send someone to lead the way. Besides, I’m a little curious about Kirigakure now, and I want to go around and have a look.

Mizukage-sama, you don't mind, right?"

Cang Si, who still felt strange in his heart, asked tentatively.

"Mr. Jin, what are you talking about? Of course I don't mind. In fact, if you want, there's no problem for you to stay in Kirigakure forever!" Karuta Yagura promised righteously.

However, there were obviously other meanings behind his words.

"Forget it. I'm having a great time in the Snow Country now and don't have any plans for the time being." This was the nth time that Cang Si had politely declined Karuji Yagura's invitation.

During the casual chat just now, Goju Yagura and Yuanshi mentioned this topic more than once, and Cang Si had no intention of giving in.

Unexpectedly, Goji Yagura's "evil heart" is still there, which makes Cang Si seem a little headache!

To be honest, what Cang Si fears most is that others will go soft on him.

The better Kirigakure's attitude towards him, the harder it would be for him to refuse too directly.

If Kirigakure had taken a tougher stance, Cang Si would have probably just left.

After all, there is a saying that goes, "Don't hit a smiling person."

Since they met today, everyone in Kirigakure, from top to bottom, has been very humble towards him, and in the end, Karutagi Yagura even arranged for him to stay in his old residence.

This already shows Kirigakure's sincerity.

If Kirigakure didn't really have anything that Cang Si needed right now, and there wasn't a lot of mess left, he might really have thought about returning.

However, there is no if.

After saying this, Cang Si ignored the person who was standing there in a daze. He was originally arranged by Karutagi Yagura to take him downstairs to rest, but left the Mizukage's office directly.

Looking over with an inquiring look, Goji Yagura just waved his hand, signaling the man to go down.

Finally, only Yagura Karatachi, Genshi, and Mei Terumi were left in the Mizukage's office.

"Tell me, is it okay for us to do this?" Suddenly, the old voice of Yuanshi sounded.

It can be heard that there is worry in Master Yuan's tone.

"Originally, I didn't agree with this, but from our conversation with Mizunotsuki Jin just now, I can tell that this is indeed the only way." Karuta Yagura sighed helplessly.

If possible, he would like to tell everything.

However, the consequence of that might be that Mizunotsuki Jin would just run away.

I have to say, Karuta Yagura guessed it right on this point.

"But what if after we trick Mizunotsuki Jin into that position, he still runs away, or ignores Kirigakure?" Ever since Cang Si left, Master Yuan's frown has never relaxed.

The Master, who has been worried about Kirigakure all his life, is now afraid that Kirigakure will continue to cause trouble.

"No, Master Yuanshi, I believe in Mizunotsuki Jin's character. He is indeed resisting returning to Kirigakure and resisting the position of the Fifth Mizukage.

But he is definitely a responsible man!

If he hadn't become the Mizukage, he really wouldn't have cared about Kirigakure's affairs.

But once he takes the throne, as long as we assist him wholeheartedly and everyone in Kirigakure loves him, I don’t believe he will just abandon Kirigakure like that!”

There was an air of certainty in Mei Terumi's tone.

It’s no wonder that Mei Terumi did guess right about Souji’s character.

How should I put it, Cang Si’s personality is that he actually likes to slack off.

He was once forced to become the punishment elder of the Hyuga clan's main family, but in the end, he still did his best in his position.

Then, he reluctantly took the position of Minister of Konoha's Education Department. He still managed the entire department in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

Even though he was forcibly pushed to the position of the leader of the Snow Clan by Mizunotsuki Mufu, he would occasionally learn about the movements of the Snow Clan through letters in Konoha and assign tasks to the clan members.

In Cang Si's own words, one should not meddle in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction.

Now that it has become a fact, we must do everything to the best of our ability, so that we can be worthy of ourselves!

Therefore, even though Cang Si likes to slack off, he never neglects his own responsibilities.

After hearing what Mei Terumi said with such certainty, Master Yuan didn't say anything more.

The die is cast, and there is only one way to go.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed many details in the Mizukage's office on how to make Mizunotsuki Jin the Fifth Mizukage.

"Then let's do this. During the Fifth Mizukage's succession ceremony, we will unite all the top leaders of Kirigakure and push Mizunotsuki Jin to the position of the Fifth Mizukage!

This time, I believe no one will go against us!"

Karuji Yagura made the final arrangements.

The matter was settled.

Five days after Souji arrived in Kirigakure, the day finally arrived when the Fifth Mizukage succeeded to the throne.

On this day, Kirigakure was bustling with people, making this ninja village, which had been silent for a long time, burst into a lively scene that had not been seen for a long time.

However, apart from the top leaders of Kirigakure, the people below only knew that the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, was about to resign and a new Mizukage would be born.

As for who this Mizukage is, they don't know yet.

On the podium during the ceremony, Karotachi Yagura, wearing a bamboo hat that symbolized his status as a Mizukage, stood in front of all the top Kirigakure officials.

One meter behind him were twenty or so Kirigakure high-ranking officials.

And at the enthusiastic invitation of Karatachi Yagura, Souji also stood among the group of Kirigakure high-level officials as a special guest.

"Forget it. After all, this is the succession ceremony of Mei Terumi to the throne of the Fifth Mizukage. I will just treat it as a show for her. This way, even if Kirigakure is weak, it will not be looked down upon by other ninja villages."

Cang Si now has some idea of ​​the influence of his own alias.

To be honest, Cang Si refused to stand here at first.

After all, for him, he was just attending the Fifth Mizukage's succession ceremony as a guest, and he never considered himself a member of Kirigakure.

What's the matter with him standing among a group of Kirigakure high-ranking officials?

But he couldn't resist Mei Terumi's nagging and Yagura Karatachi's request, so he gave in and showed up here today.

However, until this moment, Cang Si still didn't realize that "trouble" was quietly approaching him.

Soon, he won't be able to run away!

Now, Goji Yagura

He was still giving a speech to everyone in Kirigakure below the platform.

In general, this is equivalent to the ninja version of the "Imperial Edict".

Karajita Yagura took all the blame for Kirigakure's current state.

“…So, today, I, Yagura Karatachi, resign from the position of the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure. In the future, the Fifth Mizukage will lead Kirigakure back to glory!”

Although Karutagi Yagura's voice was not loud, it was still heard by every Kirigakure citizen through special ninjutsu.

Most people in Kirigakure are aware of this.

However, the announcement of the "edict of repentance" by Gotachibana Yagura still made some people feel complicated.

It can be said that before the "Edict of Confession of Sins" was announced, a considerable number of people in Kirigakure hated Karitachi Yagura for bringing Kirigakure into its current situation.

But when they heard Karuji Yagura say that he would resign, they were filled with sadness.

Just when many Kirigakure people were confused, Karatachi Yagura spoke again.

"As for who will inherit the position of the Fifth Mizukage, we have already discussed the result. Now, I declare that the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure is..."

Having said that, Karuju Yagura took a deep breath and paused intentionally.

Resigning from the position of Mizukage that he had once pursued made Karatachi Yagura feel very depressed, but he also knew that this was the only choice.

Now, Karuta Yagura believes that his successor will definitely be better than himself!

"Mei Terumi, it seems that I have to congratulate you once again. Congratulations on becoming the Fifth Mizukage!" Although Karatachi Yagura had not announced the result yet, Souji had already said to Mei Terumi with a smile.

"Ah? Big brother, what are you talking about? The Fifth Mizukage is not me, it's..." Having said that, Mei Terumi deliberately dragged out her voice and looked over meaningfully.

"Hmm? No! Could it be?"

A question that Cang Si had ignored for so long suddenly appeared in his mind at this moment.

In an instant, Cang Si moved his feet and prepared to run away!
