The newborn Uchiha with soil

A village elder died mysteriously in the camp, and no one knows yet

This caused Kirigakure to explode. Ever since the murder of the elder Obito was discovered at noon, Kirigakure's top management launched an extremely detailed investigation and tracking, and finally pointed to a person named Namikaze Minato.

The injuries on the bodies of these three people were very obvious, and they were the same as those of the ninjas who were killed by Namikaze Minato with Rasengan on the battlefield.

And the only ninja who could sneak into the Kirigakure camp to carry out this assassination without anyone noticing was Namikaze Minato who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But this was Kirigakure's judgment without knowing the existence of the mysterious person Obito.Of course, even if Kirigakure knows about the existence of the mysterious man, Minato Namikaze is the first suspect. Who doesn't know that the Rasengan is a ninjutsu passed down from the Hokage lineage of Konoha. Currently, only Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze master it in the ninja world.

Moreover, it is impossible for Konoha to expose Obito's identity, because Konoha does not know the details of Obito, and they even hope that Obito will also attack Kirigakure's side, so that Kirigakure will suffer the same disadvantage as them, so it is naturally impossible Go tell Kirigakure the information about Obito.

In addition, Obito controls the Wood Release, which makes Konoha very eager to learn the secrets about the Wood Release from Obito, so naturally it will not take the initiative to expose Obito's information.

And now, after a day of reconnaissance, Kirigakure's senior management basically knew what happened, so after having already held a meeting in the morning, they held another meeting that night for the first time.

Of course, the atmosphere of this meeting was much more solemn than the one in the morning. Many senior members of Kirigakure looked grave. In addition to the news of the death of Elder Kirigakure, the news that Konoha and Iwagakure had made peace also reached Kirigakure.

The double blow naturally made these people unhappy.

Facing the silent crowd, Yagura was the first to say: "Today our elder was killed. After investigation by the intelligence team, it is most likely that Minato Namikaze of Konoha did this."

All the senior officials nodded. This could be said to be obvious. After all, the traces of the Rasengan were too obvious.

After their investigation, Kirigakure also knew the general outline of what happened. That is, when the two elders were secretly communicating, they were suddenly attacked by Namikaze Minato. The result was that the elder himself, his cronies, and another elder's cronies all died.

"After Konoha failed to assassinate our Jinchuuriki first, he came to assassinate our elders. Obviously, he didn't take us Kirigakure seriously. We must take revenge on Konoha to show our strength to the ninja world. .”

But at this time, several high-level officials said sadly: "But, Lord Yagura, the position of commander-in-chief is still far away. Since we are going to attack Konoha, who will be the commander?"

Yagura frowned. It was because of the obstruction of these people that he failed to seize the position of commander-in-chief every time.

Yagura said solemnly: "This afternoon our spies in Konoha received information that Konoha has ceased war with Iwagakure, and all the troops originally on the Iwagakure battlefield will come to support us. If we delay it any longer, , don’t even think about getting much benefit from Konoha.”

At this time, people who supported Yagura also joined in. Even some people who originally supported Elder Kirigakure were leaderless due to today's sudden change. Yagura also took the opportunity to secretly bribe some people who originally supported Elder Kirigakure.

But not enough.

Naturally, it was impossible for several people from the Bloodstained Family to give up this position to Yagura. Their repeated obstruction also made Yagura very angry. He secretly said: "These people from the Bloodstained Family must suppress them after I take power."

Kirigakure's Bloodstained Family is the second largest among the five great ninja villages, second only to Konoha, so naturally, like Konoha, there is a conflict between the Mizukage family and the Bloodstained wealthy family.

It's just not as serious as Konoha.

"It seems it's up to him to take action."

Yagura sighed secretly in his heart.

Not long ago, through Obito's instructions, the elder who was controlled by him found a new subordinate to find Yagura and put forward opinions to support him. Of course, in order to avoid Yagura's suspicion, Obito still The price of exchange is proposed.

After some negotiations, the two parties reached a preliminary consensus.

However, Yagura didn't have to do it as a last resort, and he didn't want to exchange these costs for the support of the elders. These costs were a bit high.

But now is the last resort

When everyone was in a stalemate, one person suddenly said: "Everyone, now that the Konoha army is approaching, and we are still in civil strife here, this is absolutely unacceptable. The most important thing for us now is to immediately elect someone to take command. Big picture.”

The speaker was none other than a close aide of that elder.

Many senior executives thought that this was nonsense, and they could see the situation.But the key is that no one of them surrenders to the other, and no one is willing to give up this opportunity to compete for the commander-in-chief.

It would be fine if this election of commander-in-chief did not involve the position of Mizukage, but Mizukage died suddenly before, which proves that whoever is successfully elected as commander-in-chief will have an easier time becoming Mizukage.

Because of this, these high-level officials were unable to even think about it, so they just delayed it. Even if it was delayed until the Konoha army arrived and Kirigakure's plan to invade Konoha went bankrupt, they could not let themselves lose the opportunity to compete for the position of the Mizukage.

After all, the failure of Kirigakure's invasion of Konoha was the fault of their senior management. If no one can get rid of it, it means that no one has the blame.

And if someone becomes the commander-in-chief, they will lose a lot.

The man looked around and continued: "Our elders are willing to support Lord Yagura to assume the position of commander-in-chief."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy bomb was dropped on the calm water.

"The elders have united with Yagura"

"Has Yagura already made a deal with the elders?"

"This damn guy, our Kaguya clan must get the position of commander-in-chief."

On the surface, many high-level officials did not see any movement, but in fact, there were already shocking waves in their hearts.

Now that the elder who was fighting against Yagura is dead, another elder also supports Yagura. This can be said to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, directly extinguishing the hopes of other senior officials.

Seeing that the time had come, Yagura drank: "Everyone, we, Kirigakure, are at a critical moment when we must make a decision. Now Konoha's reinforcements will return in less than a week at most. If we continue to fight among ourselves, we will only let the ninja world look at us." It’s a joke. Now I want to ascend to the position of commander in chief. Who is for it and who is against it?”

At this moment, Yagura showed the domineering power that a village shadow should have. This moment made many senior officials stunned.

"I agree"

Yagura's subordinates were the first to speak up, and then others reacted and began to express their opinions.

"I agree"

"I agree too"

"That being the case, I agree."

"I object"

Obviously, the total number of supporters of some of the elders of the Yagura family far exceeds that of the others.And some people saw that Yagura's trend was achieved, so they naturally agreed with it.

Only a few die-hards are still resisting, but the support of others is not as high as Yagura's.In fact, the support rates of Elder Kirigakure and Yagura were originally about the same, but now that the elder is dead, Yagura has received the support of another elder, and his strength can be said to be overwhelming.

So regardless of the reluctance of those people, Yagura finally ascended to the position of commander-in-chief.
