Naruto, my Madara is a girl

The news that Qianxing brought Kushina back to Konoha from the Land of Whirlpools naturally could not be hidden from the Mizukage who had been paying close attention to the situation. Especially after learning the details of the previous battle with Konoha, the Mizukage was more certain that Qianxing must have taken away part of the wealth of the Land of Whirlpools.

"Damn Konoha, damn Uzumaki clan, and that bastard Senju clan"!

The Mizukage cursed everything he hated, Konoha's duplicity, the Uzumaki clan's mutual annihilation, and the "Three Senju Heroes" who had been helping Konoha bully their Water Country since the Warring States Period.

While cursing, he accidentally touched the wound, which made his temper escalate even more.

"Lord Mizukage"!

The Mizukage's secretary reminded the Mizukage that they were still discussing how to counterattack Konoha.

He glanced at the Water Country high-ranking officials who dared not speak. Although the Mizukage's temper still showed no sign of relaxing, he also knew the urgency of the matter. After taking a long breath, he forced himself to suppress his temper.

"How is the research on ninja swords going?"

"The functions of the six ninja swords have been roughly studied. In addition, based on the records of ninja sword forging in the Land of Whirlpools, we have found a powerful tailed beast near the place where the Three-Tails was discovered. I believe that we will be able to obtain a very good living ninja sword in the near future."

The Mizukage's mood improved a lot when he found out that he had finally received good news.

"Where is the Jinchūriki sealing technique?"

"A special sealing class has been set up, but the sealing techniques left by the Whirlpool Country are either too basic or too difficult. Most of them are still being deciphered, and the progress is not ideal."

"Send a group of people over there to speed up the research. Even the Salamander dares to be called a demigod, so we must have masters who stand at the top of the ninja world."

At this point, the Mizukage turned his gaze towards the Water Kingdom high-level officials below, "I know you are a little dissatisfied with me now, I tell you, I don't care, now I will even give you a chance, a chance to become a benchmark for the Water Kingdom."

“Benchmark of the Water Country”?

After hearing such a temptation, many of the high-level officials below breathed heavier. After all, becoming a benchmark ninja in the Land of Water means being able to compete for the position of Mizukage.

As a country that has always adhered to the law of the jungle, the Land of Water is the only country in the entire ninja world that still maintains the customs of the Warring States Period. Such customs make them have no understanding of the word "respect" at all.

Therefore, after the Mizukage put forward such a condition, many people even looked at others with a hint of vigilance.

The Mizukage was not surprised by this and immediately stated his request.

"The Konoha troops over there seem to have obtained the last batch of detonating tags from the Land of Whirlpools. I suspect that it was the man called Uzumaki Chiboshi who took them away. This also explains why those things in the central area of ​​the Land of Whirlpools can be preserved so well. So, next we will probably have to endure the Land of Whirlpools' [tactic of covering the ground with detonating tags]. If you can have any good ideas, I can let you pick one of the special ninja swords obtained from the Land of Whirlpools, and together with the last ninja sword that has not yet been formed, I can give you the title of [Seven Ninja Swordsmen]."

hiss……

In the ninja world filled with ninjas, the number of [Title Ninjas] is extremely rare. After all, behind every titled ninja there is either a country backing it up, or it is a consensus in the ninja world.

Although the endorsement of the country cannot be compared with the consensus of the ninja world, those who can be granted the title of ninja all represent the face of the country. For example, Hatake Sakumo, even though he has the power to destroy a small country alone, he is still not a [Title Ninja] at this time.

Not to mention that after becoming a [Title Ninja], hostile ninjas might have the special right to abandon their missions when they meet you. This kind of honor is not even available in one country.

This kind of multi-person combination of [Title Ninja] is especially useful when running for Shadow. After all, how can you still be the Shadow if you can't even get one of these many vacancies?

In other words, once you get this spot, you automatically qualify to run for the role.

Therefore, many people's minds suddenly became active.

"Lord Mizukage, how about we use water ninjutsu to clear the way like last time, and then use the clone to step on the mines..."

The Mizukage interrupted him directly, "This consumes too much chakra. We, the Mist Ninja, don't have much chakra to begin with. If we do this every time, when we really fight with the people of Konoha, our chakra will be reduced by half. How can we fight?"

"In that case, why don't we use the Jinchūriki? Their chakra is infinite. As long as..."

"no"!

The Mizukage rejected the proposal again, "We are not sure whether there are any remnants of the Whirlpool Country left in Konoha. Once they have the ability to release the tailed beast in the body of the Jinchūriki at any time, we will not only lose a powerful combat force, but Konoha may also capture the tailed beast as well."

Seeing that both plans were rejected, the Water Kingdom’s top leaders also became a little emo.

"We can't ask civilians to consume the enemy's detonating tags. The last time the Uzumaki clan was able to blow up half of the storage capacity of the entire Uzumaki Country, even if they only get a small part, it will be enough to fight for a year or two. We don't have so many people to consume them."

After these words were spoken, the entire conference hall fell silent. After all, after the incident in the Land of Whirlpools, the Water Country had consumed nearly one-tenth of its ninjas that could be used in the war. If it came a few more times, even defense would become a problem. By then, let alone winning the war, it would be a shame if the country wasn't destroyed.

As for the proposal of a sneak attack on Konoha, no one even mentioned it. You have to know that after more than ten years of recuperation, every ninja in Konoha is strong and powerful. By then, let alone causing damage in Konoha, as many as enter will be eaten up.

"Or, why don't we just let the Land of Lightning attack as well? Otherwise, the three of us will take action against Konoha, and the Land of Lightning will just watch the show"?

"No, the entire war situation is not clear yet. Right now the Land of Lightning is the last country that can serve as a buffer between us and Konoha. Once it's involved, I'm afraid there will only be a war between us and Konoha until one side completely admits defeat."

Thinking of the reparations after the defeat, these Water Country leaders felt a pang of pain.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a bearded 'young man' raised his hand.

"Lord Mizukage, I have a suggestion. I wonder if it will work."

At this time, the Mizukage had already become very impatient with these guys who only knew how to fight among themselves, and when he saw someone raise an opinion, he couldn't wait to open his mouth and ask.

"any solution"?

"The Hyuga clan"!

Hearing this name, Mizukage's pupils suddenly shrank.
