Ninja Ice House

Several years ago, when Terumi Mei couldn't restrain the Heavenly Curse Seal and wanted to find foreign aid and ask the Gusugi family to help, the Young Governor had laid a series of back-up tricks on her.

Over time, many have become ineffective.

The Mizukage Godaime is a very powerful person, you can't underestimate her just because she is a woman.

In the field of Five Elements Escape Technique, the owner of the unprecedented double-blood successor boundary requires not only talent, but also hard work and a series of more valuable qualities.

As long as that layer of window paper can be pierced, the limit of double blood successors and the elimination of blood successors are only one step away.

But if we can't find an opportunity, we may not be able to fuse melting escape and boiling escape in this life.

At the beginning, Furugi Fusui may have had the idea of ​​controlling the future Mizukage Fifth Generation, and could indirectly control Kirigakure Village.

As a result, I thought too much.

The Kirigakure Village is a mess. It's not just a matter of secretly controlling one or two high-level officials.

After years of suppression by Goju Yagura and several years of relay consolidation by Terumi Mei, the situation has gotten much better, but it is still far from the ideal state.

Minazuki died, Kaguya was wiped out, and the ghost lamp ran away. After a series of changes, the authority of the Mizukage became stronger?

Naive.

Perhaps the situation has improved, but there is still a long way to go before true centralization.

For example, the forces behind the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the older generation, such as Watermelon Mountain, Taochi, Ganshi, etc., are not alone. The most outstanding talents of this generation will die or defect, which does not mean that they are not capable. People, the next generation is useless.

The seeds of fragmentation and division are still there, and it is only a matter of time before conflicts and contradictions arise.

Even the relatives and friends behind Goju Yagura and Terumi Mei are not fuel-efficient lamps. When the Mizukage is replaced, the forces that the previous Mizukage once belonged to will become the opposition, replacing Minazuki and Kaguya. The positions of the two tribes.

The political ecology is like this, and the problem cannot be solved by changing the water shadow at all. It's like the dispute between the donkey and the elephant, but there are differences in the distribution of internal interests. However, no matter who comes to power, the policies in the field of military and diplomacy are actually the same. The difference between who is more moderate and who is more extreme is at the "quantitative" level. The difference, the "quality" is the same.

The same is true for Kirigakure Village. Even if Kosugi Bushui controls Mi Mei, he still doesn't know what will happen if he changes to Mizukage after more than ten years.

Even the current Terumi Mei may not be able to completely restrain the extreme martial arts faction within.

In that messy ninja village, there were people like Momochi Zabuza. The difference was whether they had the strength to assassinate the Mizukage or Daimyo, launch a coup, or defect.

Temporary hypocrisy does not mean that you are sincerely convinced, but that you are not strong enough and dare not "do big things", rather than that you do not have the intention.

It was precisely because of his in-depth understanding that Gu Shanbu Shui once gave up his desire to control Kirigakure Village and the Kingdom of Water.

If you spend more energy, it can actually be done, but in the long run, it is not worth it. Falling into that quagmire involves a lot of energy, delays the core interests of the Ninja World Continent, and is not worthwhile.

Of course, Terumi Mei invited the Furusugi family to enter on behalf of the Kiri Ninja, that was another thing.

It is definitely not advisable to rashly increase investment in the country of water. If there is a leading party, the situation will be different. As long as one or two, or even a group of agents, can be supported, that will be fine.

The formula of divide and conquer, using barbarians to control barbarians, is not complicated. It doesn't matter whether the Kiri ninjas fight life or death among themselves, as long as they don't infringe on the interests of the Gushan family.

Terumi Mei felt secretly happy when she saw that Gusugi Fusui was a little attracted. She coughed a few times, cleared her throat and said:

"I wonder if Furusugi is willing to take over as the next Mizukage?"

"Uh?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui was stunned and couldn't help but ask,

"I seem to be hallucinating, please say it again!"

"I wonder if your family is willing to get involved in the Mizukage position?"

"Are you...serious? We are the great nobles of the Land of Fire. Putting aside the usefulness of the Mizukage's position, the Mist Ninja is willing to accept the rule of outsiders?"

Mei Terumi shook her head and replied:

"How can the Mist Ninja accept outsiders if they don't even accept their own people? The Mizukage of the past is actually the elected leader of the alliance. How much say he has depends on whether he is strong and capable. In the final analysis, the archipelago country The cohesion is so poor that the native people in the southernmost Storm Sea cannot understand the dialects of the residents on the islands near the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Whirlpool. There are hundreds of inhabited islands, large and small, and it is strange There are thousands of strange dialects, and there are fifty or sixty of them with written records. In this case, talking about unity is a joke. Now, since the establishment of Kirigakure, the Mizukage has the greatest power. .”

Gushan Bu Shui also knew this situation very well.

As the Fifth Generation Eye, Terumi Mei's core job is to focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, and try to maintain the superficial harmony and unity of Kirigakure Village. The big resistance forces will be ruthlessly suppressed, and the obedient ones will be pacified with gentleness.

So far, all the mountains in various places have learned to hide their capabilities and bide their time. They are waiting for Gotachibana Yagura and Terumi Mei to lose their power, and concentrate their efforts on dealing with the Mizukage Sixth Generation, and regain the lost capital and profits.

The situation of lack of support in Kirigakure Village is obvious to outsiders, and it is even more obvious to our own people.

Kirigakure Village has no capable Sixth Generation successor at all, and the opportunity you are waiting for will come sooner or later.

Therefore, it is indeed a last resort to want the Ragushan family to take the blame.

But, it’s no good, who cares about you? For a Mizukage with an empty reputation, others may get carried away in a moment of enthusiasm. The Fusagi family is not a nouveau riche who has never seen the world.

Mizukage?

The Daimyos of the Land of Fire didn't pay much attention to it, so how could they try to get their hands on the Mizukage's position?

"Lord Governor, you now have five children. The Kosugi family only needs one heir. How are you going to arrange the other four? If you don't mind, you can marry into a big family in our Kirigakure village, and their heir will be the future Mizukage. …”

"Too far, not interested."

Only the young governor paints cakes for others. Unexpectedly, a little iron-headed boy appeared today and rushed to paint cakes for himself. He was really brave.

There are still some good positions in the Country of Whirlpool, the Country of Iyo, the Country of Bears, the Leaf Village, and the Country of Fire. At worst, it is not bad to be given a fiefdom, be named a prince, and become a rich man, and live a stable life.

The troubles in Kirigakure Village should be left to yourself to deal with.

"Although I had expected that you would be dissatisfied with such conditions, I didn't expect that you would refuse so simply."

"We have no shortage of nominal titles and positions. If it is just that and there are no real financial benefits, then the cooperation between us will not be in-depth."

Gushan Bu Shui shook his head reservedly.

"Don't forget, Gushan is not an ordinary wealthy family. Even if you in Wuyin Village clean yourself and deliver the package to your door, you have to consider whether I want it or not. What's more, you are just throwing away a famous person." The alliance leader's position only requires us to help clear up the civil strife in Kirigakure Village, which is really taken for granted."

"You have to give it a try, just in case it works."

Terumi Mei smiled easily and didn't seem to be very upset that the proposal was rejected.

"If that doesn't work, let's follow the example of the Kingdom of Wind, rent a few small islands as Gushan's foothold, and start in-depth cooperation."

"Lease the island."

This condition may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually quite sincere, and the Gushan family can also get a lot of benefits.

However, as Gushan Bushui said before, the Gushan family is too powerful and rich to look down on a little bit of petty profit. There must be something real and good that can make Gushan Bushui shine. , can we strengthen the foundation of cooperation.

There are a few broken islands, and I don’t know if there will be any trouble on them. After I get them, I have to invest money in infrastructure construction, open ports, and plan trade routes. Not to mention the trouble, I may not be able to make money.

Just when Gu Shanbu Shui decided to give up his career as a ninja and go home to inherit the family business, Ninja Kiri hurriedly offered him an olive branch, and the young governor accepted it without hesitation.

Now, Major Governor Gushan, who has the ability to create an island on the sea with just a disagreement, doesn't have to care about these trivial matters at all.

"This can only be regarded as asking for directions. What is real cooperation? Don't use words like that to fool others. At this level, only measures that involve the entire Kirigakure Village and the Kingdom of Water, and even affect the general trend of the ninja world, can the ancient Major Governor Shan looked slightly sideways."

For Kosugi Fusui, erasing the Kingdom of Water from the ninja world cannot be said to be a trivial matter. It is considered to be of medium significance, and it still has some weight.

"Mizukage travels just to tell these jokes? That would really disappoint me."

"Well, it seems that if we don't talk about something valuable and genuine, today will be in vain."

Terumi nodded understandingly,

"Actually, the inherent disadvantages of our Water Kingdom and Kirigakure Village are too obvious. In my lifetime, I probably won't be able to see the Kirigakure fusion and unity. In this case, we can't gather in the new era. If the power of the Water Kingdom is to compete with other big countries, then we can only think of other ways."

"With all due respect, Kirigakure Village has performed quite well in recent years. Even if Kisame Kisaki, Zabuza Momochi, and Yuri Ringo die or rebel, those who remain are still very powerful."

"It's okay to support the scene, but the reserve force has long been empty."

Terumi Mei shook her head bitterly.

Too far from heaven, too close to the ancient cedars.

Maintained by Yuqi Island, the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and a series of large and small floating islands, the essence of the Kingdom of Water is continuously flowing to the mainland.

In the past, the Kingdom of Water could rely on the advantage of being isolated overseas to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Now, the Gushan family has grown stronger and has established a very strong connection between the Kingdom of Water and the mainland.

Unless the Gushan family can be driven out, its influence is completely eliminated, and then the country can be closed to the outside world, and the trade protectionist strategy can be implemented forcefully, or it can be restored with the support of mainland forces.

Now, forget about it.

The Shinobi World has been at peace for many years, but the total population of the Water Kingdom is actually on a downward trend.

Some of the small islands on the edge that were originally inhabited have been abandoned.

As long as they could run to the Land of Fire, almost everyone did so.

"Originally, they could still endure a life of poverty. But now that they know there is a rich and powerful country across the sea, where they can find jobs and live a decent life, who would still live in a small place? As long as they have some skills , all want to come here to make a fortune. In particular, some successful people, after becoming successful, return to their hometown, show off in the market, and then fool a large group of relatives and friends, dragging their families and boarding a liner to the Land of Fire. What do you think we can do manage?"

In this world, there is no tradition of returning home in fine clothes, but when one is rich and powerful, the feeling of being embarrassed in front of people who once looked down on oneself is common.

Who wouldn’t be jealous after seeing it too much?

There are probably not many people who were not as good as me in the past who got rich after going to the Land of Fire. They are not tempted.

Over time, all the talented people with ambition, ideals, determination, and ability have gone to the Kingdom of Fire, leaving behind only losers in the competition. So, is there any hope for the Kingdom of Water?

Kirigakure Village is actually the ceiling of the Kingdom of Water. The changes in the secular grassroots have not yet been fully reflected at the level of Kirito ninja. However, as the fifth generation of Mizukage, Mei Terumi has already seen that the sword that kills people without blood is exactly what they want. He greeted the Kingdom of Water harshly, silently, and continuously bleeding, making the Kingdom of Water weaker and weaker.

As time goes by, it will be a matter of time before Kirigakure Village, which is rooted in that island country, cannot maintain its current power.

Do you expect Major Governor Gu Shan to show your favor?

I'm afraid I'm overthinking it.

If you can’t win or compete, what can you do?

Then join.

Judging from what happened in the past, Major Governor Gu Shan had no intention of wiping out the Kingdom of Water. He just wanted to use them as a health pack to provide necessary manpower for the forces under his command when necessary.

After discussing with Goju Yagura for a long time, Terumi Mei finally decided to test out Furugi Fusui's tone.

If Kirigakure Village and the Kingdom of Water really have no future, then make plans in advance to package them up and sell them at a good price, or hope that the Kosugi family will show mercy and incorporate the Kingdom of Water into their own economic planning system. As long as they can Once you find your position, it is possible to gain a foothold.

The reality is so cruel. If you want to sell yourself at a low price, you have to worry about others not accepting it. For the current Mizukage, it is actually a very frustrating thing.

"You guys know more about current affairs than Suna Ninja, yet they insist on being beaten up and given a sweet date before they succumb reluctantly."

Kosugi Fusui spoke in an understatement, not trying to fool or cover up at all, but looked at Terumi Mei who was waiting for an answer.

"Mizukage, your destiny is in your own hands. Whether you have a future or not is related to who you choose to stand with. It still has some perspective to realize that you are militaristic and that you cannot rely on your false strength."

Opposite Terumi Mei looked in surprise as a yellowish-purple halo appeared in Kosugi Fusui's deep eyes. Circles of ring-shaped pupils came into view. Nine black magatama inlays made her eyes look like cold moonlight. Sprinkle on yourself.

"Reincarnation Eye, or Sharingan Eye? No, this... what on earth is it?"

Although he didn't understand it, the feeling of powerlessness, like encountering a natural enemy, made Mei Terumi realize that her own strength was a joke in front of the current Fusugi Fusui.
