I don't want to be a hero.

They wanted to fight for the position of Mizukage themselves, but they knew they were far inferior to Mizunoe Yoshizuki in front of them, both in strength and reputation in the village.

And if it were any other member of the tribe who was spoken to in such a tone, they would have been furious.

But facing Mizunoe Yejing, they really had no way to deal with it. The parents of Yejing and her brother had died long ago, and the two of them had no ties in the clan.

What can they do with Mizunozuki Yejing? Can they jointly remove the other party's position as "clan leader"? This little girl must be hoping that they will do so.

Or kick them out of the Mizunotsuki clan? That's ridiculous, they are now the greatest glory of the Mizunotsuki clan.

Although the Mizunotsuki clan was also a big clan in the Hidden Mist Village, it was far inferior to the "Hokage clan" and the "Hyuga clan".

Because either they have noble blood and are related to the founder of the "Ninja Clan", or there was a member of their clan who served as Mizukage.

As for their Mizunotsuki clan, although they are quite famous, there have been almost no strong people among them since ancient times.

The strongest is only at the level of Jonin, and with this level in the entire ninja world, let alone fame, he is not even considered a small fry.

Now that they have finally had Mizunotsuki Yoya and Mizunotsuki Yoshizuki, they naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to kick the brother and sister out of the Mizunotsuki clan.

"Ye Jing, the death of the Fourth Mizukage is a fait accompli. Even if we don't fight for the position of Mizukage, the Kizuna clan and the Kaguya clan will try to grab it."

The old patriarch said with some earnestness that at his age, he no longer expected anything.

If the Mizunotsuki clan could produce a Mizukage, then he would be able to die with his eyes closed.

"Then let them rob. After all, we are all doing this for the good of the Hidden Mist Village. As long as they don't mess around, it will be fine."

Seeing that Shui Wuyue was silent and unmoved, the elder on the side wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old patriarch.

It was not until the meeting was over and Ye Jing left impatiently that the elder looked at the old patriarch in confusion.

"Why didn't you let me persuade Ye Jing just now? This child is too willful. Now the problem is that if we don't snatch it, will there be any problem?

Because they had saved the Fourth Mizukage before, the Mizunotsuki clan was already showing signs of becoming the largest clan in the Hidden Mist.

If someone from the Hozuki clan or the Kaguya clan becomes the Fifth Mizukage, do you think they will sit back and watch our Mizunotsuki clan continue to grow in power?"

That’s right, because of Yagura’s suppression before, the Hidden Mist Village seemed quite peaceful, but there were actually always undercurrents between the major families.

After all, although we are all from the same village, we are not from the same family. This is what is called the big family and the small family.

For the sake of the family's interests, suppressing other families is inevitable. This is why the village's top leaders decided to let Yagura succeed as the Fourth Mizukage.

Because Yagura does not need the bloodline family of the Hidden Mist Village, without any family ties, he can consider issues more fairly from the village's perspective.

“Although Ye Jing is a little clever, she is indeed not suitable to be the Mizukage. She even handles the affairs of the clan rather impatiently, and in the end, she still has to trouble me.

If I succeed the Fifth Mizukage, I will have to deal with more matters. Do you think Ye Jing will agree to our request given his personality?"

"Indeed!" After hearing the old patriarch's analysis, the surrounding elders all nodded in agreement.

They knew Mizunoe Yoshizuki's personality best. Whenever she had to deal with something, she would run away with various excuses...

"So, our Mizunotsuki clan is just going to give up the position of Mizukage and wait for the suppression from the Hozuki clan and the Kaguya clan?"

An old woman who was not much younger than the old patriarch asked unwillingly.

"Don't keep staring at Ye Jing. There are quite a few young people in the Mizunotsuki clan."

The old clan leader's words stunned everyone present for a moment, and then they all shook their heads and said, "In recent years, our Mizunotsuki clan has indeed produced many talented people, but if they want to compete for the position of Mizukage, they are not qualified enough.

Bai's child has good talent. If it's a few years later, maybe there will be a chance, but now..."

The elders of the clan were well aware of the strength of the Mizunotsuki clan, and among the younger generation, it seemed that the only one who could compete for the position of Mizukage was Mizunotsuki Yoshizuki.

"So you guys have been ignoring someone. His strength is not weaker than Ye Jing at all. He is even stronger!"

The old patriarch gave a bitter smile. In fact, he had just realized that the reason why their Mizunotsuki clan had their current status in the village was not only due to Mizunotsuki Yoshizuki alone.

"I understand! Old Patriarch, you are talking about that kid Mizunoe Yoya, right?

Indeed, because he was away from the village for most of the year, I almost forgot about him.

With Yeya's strength and reputation, he is indeed qualified to be the Fifth Mizukage, and is more suitable than Yejing."

Compared to the sometimes childish Mizunoe Yoshizu, Mizunoe Yoya is indeed more mature.

Moreover, whether it is the handling of things or making various decisions, Ye Ya is obviously more experienced than Ye Jing.

"But Yeya hasn't returned to the village for a long time. According to Ye Jing, he seemed to have been sent out by the Fourth Mizukage to complete a secret mission."

When they thought of the trump card Mizunoe Yoya, everyone was excited at first, but after they reacted, they found that Yoya had not returned to the village for two years in order to complete the task of the Fourth Mizukage.

“Whatever mission Yaya was sent out to complete before, the Fourth Mizukage is now dead.

In this situation, he will definitely go back to the village no matter what."

In fact, since yesterday, the village leaders have already started to rush the ninjas outside the village back.

Part of the reason was that he came back to mourn the Fourth Mizukage, and part of the reason was that the Fourth Mizukage died and now the village is in a weak state.

The strong man who killed the Fourth Mizukage is likely to still be staying near the village, so in order to ensure that the village will not encounter any other problems, it is necessary to summon all the combat forces back.

When Mei Terumi was urgently summoned back to the village, she was surprised to learn that the Fourth Hokage had been assassinated.

The village had finally started to get back on track, but now the Fourth Mizukage suddenly got into trouble again.

"We must talk to Ye Jing. The village will soon be in chaos again."

Mei Terumi knew all too well about the blood-inherited families in the village. None of them were content with their lot in the first place. In the current situation, a power struggle was inevitable.

Chapter 813: The Battle for the Water Shadow

(I will update 10,000 words tomorrow. I will keep my word. Please vote for me (?▽｀)

When Yeya arrived near the Hidden Mist Village, he found that the defense measures of the Hidden Mist Village today seemed to be much more vigilant than before.

One of them leaped down from the tree and swaggered in to enter through the main gate.

He was originally a Jōnin of the Hidden Mist, so he didn't need to hide when entering the village.

The few Chunins who were guarding the gate saw a figure entering the Hidden Mist Village and wanted to stop the other person, but the moment they saw Yeya's face, they quickly put on a respectful expression.

"Lord Yeya, it's great that you are finally back."

Among the several Chunins, there was one who, like Yeya, belonged to the Mizunotsuki clan. When he saw Yeya at this moment, his expression was so excited that he was beyond words.

For the Mizunotsuki clan, the Yaya siblings are simply their glory. Not only in the Hidden Mist Village, but also in the entire ninja world, they are also very famous.

The elder sister, Mizunoe Yoshizuki, is known as the "Sword Princess" and is the strongest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in history.

His younger brother, Mizunoe Yoya, is known as "Frost of the Mist" in the ninja world and is also a well-known strong man in the entire ninja world.

However, compared to the often seen Mizunotsuki Yejing, Yeya is not in the village all year round, so even the people of the Mizunotsuki clan rarely see him.

"Did anything big happen in the village?"

Originally, Ye Ya wanted to go back and test his sister's attitude, but now that someone came to deliver information, Ye Ya naturally would not refuse.

"The Fourth Mizukage has been assassinated, and now the village is in chaos. The clan leaders and the village leaders are arguing over the position of Mizukage."

Hearing what this Chunin said, Yeya was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that he thought he had changed the fate of the Fourth Mizukage, but in the end the other party still died.

If the original plot had been followed, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura would have been killed by Itachi, who joined the Akatsuki organization, shortly after the night of the Uchiha clan massacre.

However, due to Yaya's interference, Yagura lived until the Chunin Exams, but was ultimately unable to escape the Akatsuki's conspiracy.

But what Yeya didn't know was that Yeya was also partly responsible for Yagura's death.

After the night of genocide and the collapse of Konoha, Black Zetsu and Obito discovered that Yaya was extremely powerful. When they wanted to investigate him, they found that Yaya had suddenly disappeared.

Previously, considering Yaya's combat power, Akatsuki had planned to delay the capture of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki until the last minute.

However, Yaya disappeared for two years in a flash, and Obito felt that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he immediately captured Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

The final result was that Biwa Juzo died. Although Itachi killed the Fourth Mizukage, he did not have the energy left to bring back the Three-Tails.

After hearing what happened in the past two years, Yeya also sighed. To be honest, Yagura, who was not controlled, did a really good job as the Mizukage.

Now that Yagura is dead, it is normal for the big families in the village to have some thoughts.

Looking at Yaya who was slowly entering Kirigakure, several Chunins showed joy on their faces, because the return of this adult might be able to stop the unrest in the village ahead of time.

Everyone in the village knows that there are bad people. Many of the patriarchs of the bloodline families have suffered at the hands of Yeya.

When facing Yaya, he was sometimes even more afraid than facing the Fourth Mizukage.

"It would be great if Lord Yaya could serve as the Fifth Mizukage. I would definitely support it with both hands."

"Indeed, with Lord Yaya's reputation and strength, he is fully qualified for the position of Mizukage, and I believe he can lead the Hidden Mist Village to become the strongest."

Although Yaya is not in the Hidden Mist Village for many years, his reputation is not underestimated because his suggestions to Yagura to establish a ninja school and abolish the bloody Chunin examination system have benefited the Hidden Mist Village a lot.

Whether among civilian ninjas or family ninjas, Yeya has quite a lot of supporters.

Moreover, he is a disciple of the Third Mizukage, and the elders of Kirigakure also like him for his clever mind.

If Yeya really wants to be the Mizukage, then it's basically a done deal.

But it was obvious that Yeya had no idea about the position of Mizukage.

Leaving aside other things, the fact that he cannot stay in this world for long is an unsolvable problem.

As the shadow of a village, leaving the village for even one day would have a huge impact, not to mention someone like Yeya who would disappear for several years at any time.

At this time, in the Mizukage Building, the patriarchs of the major bloodline families in the Hidden Mist Village, several elders of the Hidden Mist Village, and the daimyo of the Water Country gathered together.

As for the reason why these people gathered here, it was naturally because of the issue of the position of "Five-generation Mizukage".

The existence of "Shadow" is crucial to a ninja village, and now that Kirigakure is in chaos, someone must come out to lead the situation.

"I didn't expect that the Fourth Mizukage would encounter such misfortune. If you called me here, you should have a suitable candidate in mind for the Fifth Mizukage."

The Hidden Mist Village has developed rapidly in the past few years, making the Water Kingdom much stronger, and it can also speak with much more confidence in front of the other four countries.

This time, when the Daimyo of the Land of Water heard that Yagura had died, he also expressed great regret, after all, the other party had done a good job.

"That's right, Daimyo-sama. Everyone present here deeply regrets the death of the Fourth Mizukage, but choosing a new Fifth Mizukage to stabilize the situation is the top priority now."

Upon hearing this, the chief of the Gui Deng clan stood up and started talking. As one of the largest clans in the village, he was indeed qualified to speak.

Hearing that no one denied his statement, the head of the Kizuna clan continued: "The clans with the highest reputation in the village right now are our Kizuna clan, the Kaguya clan, and the Mizunotsuki clan.

So my suggestion is to select a suitable candidate from among these three clans to be the fifth Mizukage."

Up to this point, there was nothing wrong with what the Kizuna clan said, but then the Kaguya clan also stood up and said: "In order to show fairness, we, the clan leaders, have decided not to participate in the competition for the Mizukage position and leave the opportunity to the outstanding younger generations in the clan."

When the head of the Kaguya clan said this, everyone else present looked at Mizunoe Yoshizuki who was sitting on the other side.

Those who can sit here are basically not fools. Obviously, they have also discovered that the Kaguya clan and the Hozuki clan have already communicated with each other to exclude the Mizunotsuki clan.

Unlike the two old men from the Hozuki clan and the Kaguya clan, the current chief of the Mizunotsuki clan, Mizunotsuki Yoshizuka, is still quite young and is fully capable and qualified to compete for the position of Mizukage.

But now the other two major clans have made it clear that as clan leaders they will not participate in the competition, so what should the Mizunotsuki clan do?

You have to know that among the current Mizunotsuki clan, the younger generation is basically unable to compete with the Kizuna clan and the Hyuga clan.

It was obvious that the two clans had agreed beforehand to use the Mizunotsuki clan as a trick.

Chapter 814 Ye Ya: Sister, you can’t just blame me

(Today is the first update, there will be four more in the afternoon, and there may be five more tomorrow╮(￣▽￣““)╭

"No, this proposal is too unfair. If you want to withdraw from the competition, that's your business, but you have no right to ask Ye Jing to withdraw from the competition as well.

Moreover, there are many ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, and there are also many ninjas with fame and strength. Why must the candidate for the Mizukage be chosen from the three major clans?"

Originally everyone was curious about why Mizunoe Yejing would answer like this, but before Yejing could even open her mouth, Mei Terumi couldn't stand the expressions of the Kizuna clan and the Hyuga clan anymore and spoke directly.

As the captain-in-chief of the Kirigakure Anbu, Mei Terumi is also considered one of the Kirigakure's high-ranking officials and is qualified to participate in this meeting.

But at the moment, she obviously did not agree with what the Ghost Lantern clan said.

Mei Terumi loves this village and she doesn't want the village to return to the bloody era of the past. If she allows people from the Kirigakure and Kaguya clans, whose family values ​​are more important than the village, to take on the position of Mizukage, it will undoubtedly lead the Hidden Mist Village into trouble again.

The previous Fourth Mizukage Yagura was also an ordinary ninja, and he did better than anyone else. Terumi Mei absolutely disagrees with the statement that the Fifth Mizukage must be from a bloodline family.

And even if they really had to choose someone from the three major clans, Mei Terumi felt that Ye Jing was much more suitable than people from the other two clans.

To put it bluntly, the Hozuki clan and the Kaguya clan only have the advantage of numbers, but they have not done much for the village.

"Humph, everyone in the village knows that the captain of the Anbu, Mei Terumi, and Mizunoe Yoshizuki are so close that they are like one and the same, so naturally you will speak up for the other.

Don't forget, those ordinary ninjas are quite hostile to us bloodline ninjas.
