Naruto, my Madara is a girl

After throwing the affairs of Konoha back to the management of Mito Kado En, Sarutobi Hiruzen took Ōnoki with him and rushed to the Land of Water without stopping.

However, they did not plan to sneak in this time. After all, the Water Kingdom has been closed off from the outside world for many years, and who knows how complicated the situation inside is. If they were recognized on the road, it would only alert the enemy.

Therefore, before setting off, they drafted a list of intelligence and missions that had to be submitted to the Mizukage in case of emergency.

Sure enough, after the Mist Ninjas stationed at the Water Country dock checked the mission letter, they not only let them pass, but also sent out a team of ninjas to take them to the Hidden Mist Village in the Water Country.

The rest of the journey was smooth, and the two had time to enjoy the scenery of the Water Kingdom in their spare time.

As the second to last country among the five major nations, the Water Kingdom is not weak at all. It not only has the largest number of bloodline ninjas, but also has a unique geographical location surrounded by the sea.

It can be said that if they had not participated in the Ninja World War, but instead took advantage of those wars to make war profits, they might have been able to replace Konoha and become the number one in the Ninja World like the United States did.

However, there are no ifs in the world. The inexperienced and addicted Mizukages continued to get involved in the Ninja World War, but not only did they not gain any benefit, but because of the war, they made the Water Country a mess and the people suffered.

If the current Konoha is just depressed, then the environment of the Water Country is dilapidated.

Under the sky that is always shrouded in haze, there are dilapidated buildings.

The walls are peeling, the windows are dilapidated, the shops are closed and deserted, and only a few seem to be barely maintaining business.

There were few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally there were a few people hurrying by, but they either looked haggard or had murderous looks on their faces. Not even a normal person could be seen.

However, when the two arrived at the Hidden Mist Village, they were told that the top management was receiving important guests. Therefore, the two were arranged to stay in the reception room of the Mizukage Building.

After sitting down, taking advantage of the fact that there were no Mist Ninjas around, Ohnoki, who had always been disgusted with the waste of a country, immediately began to criticize the Mizukage's governance.

"No wonder the Water Kingdom has not been able to develop. If they treat the villagers like this, there's no way it can improve."

Ōnoki's disdainful words made Sarutobi Hiruzen take it seriously.

But the Water Country is not under his jurisdiction, and as an opponent, the worse the Water Country is, the better it will be for Konoha.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to comfort him in a low voice, "This should be the fault of the bloodline family. They think highly of themselves, but they are selfish. Every family is sucking the blood of the country, which makes the country become like this."

The more Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, the more indignant he became, as if the growth of his Sarutobi clan had not been due to the blood of Konoha.

“I think this is the same for every country, otherwise I wouldn’t have started the Ninja World War so many times to weaken their strength;

Also, don't forget that this is the Land of Water. We'll leave after we get what we have. As for the alliance, we'll talk about it after I gain control of the power of the Hyuga clan."

If Ōnoki hadn't known Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would have almost been fooled by his white lotus-like speech.

Although such things also happened in their Land of Earth, under Ohnoki's mediation, the barriers between the ninja clans have almost been eliminated. The reason why they participated in the war was simply that their national strength was not as strong as Konoha, and the barren land could no longer support such a large number of ninjas, so they were forced to participate in the Ninja World War.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the two are not of the same kind, which also makes Ohnoki even more disgusted with Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior.

Just to know more of Konoha's secrets, Ohnoki had no choice but to continue treating this as a normal thing.

"it is good"!

…………

At the same time, the Raikage met with the newly appointed Acting Mizukage.

He had long gray-blue hair, one eye, and seal symbols on his ears that provided indirect protection. He looked like a kind middle-aged man, and was accompanied by a reddish-brown-haired female ninja in her early twenties.

"I'm sorry, Raikage, our Mizukage is missing, so I'm being so negligent."

"understand"!

The rough-looking but delicate Raikage nodded. After all, it was only after he set out that he remembered that the Three-Tails' Jinchuriki was the Fourth Mizukage. The Mizukage of the Water Country was missing, so they would naturally deal with internal affairs first, so they had been waiting in the Water Country for several days.

But it's all worth it. The disappearance of the Fourth Mizukage means that the Land of Water will certainly do its utmost to hunt down the guy who stole the Jinchūriki, so there will naturally be no problem with their cooperation.

"Acting Mizukage, my Lightning Country wants to form an alliance with the Water Country to fight against Sarutobi Hiruzen [Five Ninja Alliance] together. At the same time, we also hope to cooperate with the Water Country to deal with those guys who attempt to steal the tailed beasts."

"If it's just this matter, then please go back, Raikage. We will handle Lord Mizukage's matter ourselves."

The Raikage did not expect the other party to react like this, so he had no choice but to continue to persuade him kindly.

"The fact that they were able to capture several tailed beasts quietly in a short period of time means that they have not only infiltrated our country, but also that their strength is no longer something that one or two Kage can deal with. Moreover, I suspect that this matter is related to the [Five Ninja Alliance]. Maybe it was done by those two old guys Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki. If you continue to be stubborn, I'm afraid we will be defeated one by one by them. Also, my Land of Lightning has also been attacked by the other side, and Ōnoki and Sarutobi Hiruzen are here at the scene. I don't think you can fail to guess such an obvious self-torture tactic. You don't want your Land of Water to change its name, do you?"

Having said this, the Raikage stared at the acting Mizukage opposite him, trying to see the changes on his face.

However, such a threat did not change the expression of the acting Mizukage on the opposite side. He still looked calm and seemed to have no interest at all.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

However, the silence had not lasted for two and a half seconds when the acting Mizukage spoke first.

"Are you done? If you are, please go back."

The acting Mizukage seemed to ignore this, which made Kirabi, who came with him, stand up angrily.

"Acting Mizukage, you..."

However, before Killer Bee could say a few words, he was grabbed by the Raikage.

"Since the acting Mizukage has important matters to attend to, I will wait for two more days. If we cannot reach an agreement by then, I can only express my regret."

After saying that, he led Kirabi, who still looked indignant, out of the reception room.

Just as the two were leaving, the expressionless deputy Mizukage 'Qing' finally smiled at this moment.

As for the Raikage who was leaving, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth at this time.

As two people who grew up together, although the Raikage and Killer Bee are not biological brothers, they are better than brothers. Therefore, when they learned that the Raikage could still laugh after being humiliated in this way, they were immediately a little confused.

"Brother, you..."

Although he has not left the Mizukage's office building yet, the Raikage has no intention of hiding it. After all, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it doesn't matter whether it is exposed or not.

Therefore, he directly responded to Kirabi's doubts.

"That guy agreed because he wanted to know the situation on our side so that he could go back and discuss the terms."

"ah"?

Kirabi, who had been at the scene from the beginning, couldn't tell when the two reached an agreement.

Seeing that his younger brother looked completely confused, the Raikage had no choice but to explain.

"From the time he spoke first after he became quiet, to the time we said we had to wait two days and didn't just kick him out, it meant..."

However, before he could finish his words, the Raikage froze in place, because in the hall not far in front of him, there was a Mist Ninja leading two guys wearing Konoha forehead protectors, and the chakra of one of them was extremely familiar to him, so familiar that he seemed like the enemy who murdered his father.

"Oonoki"!
