Konoha starts from the root

The next day, in the evening.

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Building, a conference room.

Several figures in their fifties were sitting quietly at the conference table. The leader of the group had his eyes closed, his hair was sparse, and his skin had wrinkles that could almost kill mosquitoes. He was particularly old.

He is the elder who nominally acts as Mizukage's deputy - Master Yuan.

From the looks of them, they seem to be waiting for someone?

Sure enough, about a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the sound, Master Yuan's eyes finally opened a thin slit, and his whole body seemed to come alive. His lips moved slightly and he made a small sound: "Come in."

His voice was very hoarse, and when he heard it, he felt a sense of vicissitudes of life rushing over his face.

As the oldest ninja in Kirigakure today, his life is almost the history of Kirigakure, so he is very prestigious in the village, otherwise he would not be acting as Mizukage.

"crunch-"

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and three figures walked straight in, one in front and two behind.

The person in front of her was wearing a blue tube top dress, looking like a mature woman. She was Terumi Mei, the powerful leader of Kirigakure Village.

Behind her are Ao, the confidant whose right eye is covered by a black eyepatch, and Tsurugi, the ANBU captain wearing a mask.

Terumi Mei glanced at Genshi and several other elders, habitually lifted her reddish-brown bangs on her forehead, and asked in a lazy tone: "What do the elders want from me?"

While she was talking, she walked to the conference table and sat back on the chair.

Qing and Jian stood behind her silently.

"cough~"

Master Yuan cleared his throat and said, "How is the investigation of Yagura's death going?"

Hearing this, Terumi Mei sat up slightly and stared at Yuanshi with his green eyes for a few seconds before replying calmly: "According to the examination, the direct cause of the fourth generation's death was a mental breakdown, but... .....”

"Ok?"

Terumi Mei recalled the strangely peaceful expression of Goju Yagura, and continued: "However, generally speaking, if someone dies from a mental breakdown, the human body will have obvious signs of struggle. This has been confirmed by the other four Anbu. , but the situation in the fourth generation is completely different - there is no trace of resistance at all.”

"Yeah...no resistance..."

Yuanshi murmured, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Hey! What a pity, Yagura."

He probably also knew why Goji Yagura didn't resist. After all, he had watched Goju Yagura grow up and knew how deep his love for the village was.

Because he knew this, he could imagine the guilt and pain Goju Yagura felt when he harmed the village because of himself.

Therefore, he was not surprised by Gotachibana Yagura's choice.

He even received a signal from Goji Yagura's last choice, that is, the mysterious man who suddenly broke into the village and killed him had a high probability of not being very hostile to Kirigakure Village itself.

Otherwise, Goju Yagura will definitely leave some clues. Even if he is begging for death, he will contribute his strength to the village in the end.

Although it may be that Master Yuan was thinking a little too much, the result is correct. Bai Ye does not have any hostility towards Kirigakure Village now.

After another period of silence, Master Yuan asked again: "Where is the Three Tails?"

Hearing this, Terumi Mei waved her hand, and Ao immediately stepped forward half a step behind him: "Master Yuanshi, according to the inspection of the sealing team, the three tails should have entered the rebirth stage with the death of the fourth generation. It is expected that in three years Then he will be resurrected.”

"Cough...cough..."

Master Yuan covered his mouth and coughed a few times before speaking out: "In other words, the person who killed Yagura was not someone from the so-called 'Akatsuki' organization?"

"Yes, my lord."

After Qing responded, he said: "According to the news sent by the Third Hokage of Konoha not long ago, the goal of the 'Akatsuki' organization is to capture all tailed beasts, so it is unlikely to directly kill the Fourth Generation."

······

That's right, Sarutobi Hiruzen has shared some information about the Akatsuki organization with the major ninja villages.

The reason why he did this was entirely because the destruction of Takigakure Village and the attack on Sunagakure Village sounded the alarm for him.

Within just a few days, Nanao and Ichibi were arrested one after another, which really scared Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, he had to give a warning to other major ninja villages.

However, in order to preserve Uchiha Itachi's chess piece as much as possible, the warnings he issued were all vague. In addition to emphasizing the goal of the Akatsuki organization to capture the tailed beasts, he did not mention any information about its internal members.

Anyway, Orochimaru also knew the goals of the 'Akatsuki' organization, and issuing such a warning could more or less apportion Uchiha Itachi's suspicion.

In addition, in view of the urgent situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still actively contacting Tsunade and Jiraiya, hoping that they can return to the village and contribute to the village.

He even tried to contact Bai Ye through Shimura Danzo, hoping to ease the relationship between the two parties.

Not only that, in order to consolidate the alliance and flex his muscles, he is also actively preparing for the Chunin Joint Examination in July next year.

······

After listening to Ao's narration, Master Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, and whispered: "You can't believe everything that this old fox, Sarutobi, says."

After a slight pause, he spoke a little louder and continued: "Of course, there should be no problem with the information this time. Ken, what about the situation in Sunagakure Village and Takigakure Village?"

Jian Wenyan took a step forward and said: "Master Yuanshi, Takigakure Village has been confirmed to be destroyed, and Sunagakure Village has indeed been attacked. Almost one-third of the entire village has been destroyed."

"Where are the Seven-Tails and One-Tails?" Master Yuan asked again.

"The seven tails are missing, and the condition of the first tail is unknown." Ken replied.

Since Kirigakure Village has not had much contact with the outside world in recent years, there is naturally no opportunity to send spies, so the internal intelligence of major ninja villages, including Sunagakure Village, is poorly understood.

In this case, of course, Ichibi's current situation is unclear.

As for Nanao, Takigakure Village was destroyed, so it was naturally missing.

Of course, now it seems that it may have fallen into the hands of the 'Xiao' organization.

After a long time, Master Yuan let out a long sigh: "Hey - it's been such a troubled time!"

After saying that, he suddenly looked at Mei Terumi and said seriously and seriously: "Mei Terumi, the situation in the ninja world is unclear now, and Yagura was killed by a bad person again. Kirigakure Village needs someone to stand up. Are you willing to take this job?" A heavy burden?"

After hearing this, Mei Terumi immediately sat up straight, her expression no longer as lazy as before, and she replied seriously: "Of course."

When speaking, she looked directly at Master Yuan, and Master Yuan also looked at her steadily.

After looking at each other for a moment, Master Yuan smiled happily, picked up the Mizukage bamboo hat on the table in front of him, stood up, handed it to Terumi Mei, and said: "Terumi Mei, on behalf of all the elders, I announce: From today on , you are the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village."

Terumi Mei also stood up, solemnly took the Mizukage hat, brushed it, and put it on his head.

Immediately, several other elders, together with Yuanshi, Qing Hejian, all said: "I have met the Fifth Generation Master!"

At this moment, Terumi Mei succeeded in taking over, and Kirigakure Village finally had a backbone.

Although Terumi Mei was the de facto leader of Kirigakure Village before, his name was always inconsistent with his words.

However, now, with the name of the Fifth Mizukage, it is justifiable.

If the original historical development is followed, Gotachibana Yagura can still live for more than half a year. At the same time, it will be until the eve of the Fourth Ninja War when the Fourth Raikage proposes to convene the "Five Shadow Conference" that Terumi Mei will truly serve as the fifth generation. Water shadow.

But now, due to the premature death of Goju Yagura and the treacherous situation in the ninja world, Genshi had to make up his mind to let Terumi Mei serve as the fifth water shadow.

Although many people in Kirigakure Village no longer trust Mizukage due to the perverse behavior of the Fourth Mizukage - Goju Yagura, Genshi himself is too old after all, and he no longer has much energy to deal with various complicated things.

In this case, it's better to cut the knot quickly and let Terumi Mei take over directly.

I believe that with the passage of time, with her ability, she will soon gain the trust of everyone in Kirigakure Village, and then lead Kirigakure Village through the next turmoil in the ninja world.
