Chapter 38: The Crisis of the Mist

After the fierce battle with the masked man, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's health deteriorated, like a withered branch that had been ruthlessly destroyed by a violent storm, and he was extremely weak. After being imprisoned and tortured by the evil illusion for a long time, coupled with the massive loss of vitality in the thrilling battle just now, his life was like a weak candlelight swaying in the wind, about to go out, fragile and shaky.

Yagura was as pale as paper, lying powerlessly on the sickbed, his eyes revealing deep fatigue and relief. Mei Terumi and Kabuto stood by with worried faces, and the room was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

"Mei Terumi..." Yagura's voice was thin, yet contained an unwavering strength. "My life has come to an end. The future of the Hidden Mist Village... is entrusted to you."

Mei Terumi was shocked when she heard this. Although she had been mentally prepared for this, she was still a little caught off guard when the moment really came. "Lord Mizukage, I am still inexperienced and lack the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility."

"I have full confidence in you." Yagura forced a smile, his eyes full of trust and expectation, "You will definitely be able to lead the Hidden Mist Village into a bright future." After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and the room suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Mei Terumi knows that from this moment on, she must shoulder the burden of the rise and fall of the entire Kirigakure Village. However, the road to the position of Mizukage is full of thorns and difficulties.

The conservative elders in the village raised many questions about Mei Mei's ability and qualifications. In the solemn and tense high-level meeting, a white-haired, serious-looking elder stroked his beard, his eyes revealing scrutiny and suspicion, and said sharply: "Terumi Mei, although the Mizukage designated you before his death, with your age and experience, it is really difficult for you to be qualified for this crucial position of Mizukage. I am afraid you will not be able to lead the Hidden Mist Village to move forward steadily in the ever-changing situation and face the many challenges in the future. Moreover, the inheritance of the Mizukage position in our Hidden Mist Village has always been strict, and it requires multiple rounds of tests and screening. It cannot be easily decided based on the last words of the previous Mizukage."

Another elder also agreed, "That's right, Mei Terumi, although you have certain abilities, the position of Mizukage is of great importance. It concerns the survival and future development of the entire village. We need a more mature, stable and experienced leader."

Mei Terumi stood tall and straight with a firm look in her eyes. She responded in a sonorous and powerful voice: "My elders, I understand your concerns, but my loyalty and love for the Hidden Mist Village are no less than anyone else's. I am willing to accept any difficult test and prove my ability and determination with practical actions. Over the years, I have fought for the village and grown in battle, accumulating rich experience. I believe that with my hard work and deep feelings for the village, I will be able to lead the Hidden Mist Village to open up a new path in this difficult situation. Please give me a chance to prove myself."

However, the elders exchanged meaningful glances with each other, revealing deep distrust in their eyes. The atmosphere of the meeting was like frozen ice, and it fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, Kabuto stood up resolutely, his figure appeared firm and steady under the swaying candlelight. Kabuto methodically analyzed the current precarious situation of the Hidden Mist Village and the great potential and unique advantages of Mei Terumi to the elders, "My fellow elders, we are now in a turbulent time with ever-changing circumstances. Although the conspiracy of the masked man has been temporarily thwarted, the threats outside the village are still like beasts lurking in the dark, eyeing us eagerly. Miss Mei Terumi is not only extremely powerful, but also possesses outstanding leadership skills and a wise decision-making mind. Moreover, in the battle with the masked man, Miss Terumi Mei showed fearless courage and firm conviction, which are essential to leading the Hidden Mist Village. We should give her full trust and firm support."

But the elders continued to shake their heads, their attitude firm and unmoved.

Seeing that the elders were stubborn, Kabuto decided to convince them with his strength. He quickly formed seals with both hands, "Ninjutsu: Summoning Technique!" In an instant, a huge python emitting powerful chakra fluctuations appeared in the conference room. The scales on the python's body flashed cold light, and the powerful aura made the whole room tremble slightly. Then, Kabuto performed a series of advanced ninjutsu, with flames, water, and lightning flashing in the room, showing his superb ninjutsu skills and powerful strength.

Kabuto slowly retracted his ninjutsu, looked at the stunned elders with cold eyes, and said firmly: "I will fully support Miss Terumi Mei. If the elders continue to interfere and block it, then they are my enemies. I have the absolute confidence and strength to protect Miss Terumi Mei to smoothly take over the position of Mizukage and lead the Hidden Mist Village to become stronger."

The elders were shocked by the powerful strength displayed by Dou and were silent for a moment.

After the meeting, the conservative elders began to spread unfavorable remarks in the village, trying to incite the villagers' emotions and oppose Mei Terumi's succession to the position of Mizukage. They secretly supported other potential ninjas, hoping to launch an ideal candidate in their minds to compete with Mei Terumi.

At the same time, some ambitious ninjas in the village also saw an opportunity. They united and formed a group called the "New Order Alliance", publicly expressed their doubts about Mei Mei's ability and qualifications, and launched their representative, a powerful ninja named Kisame. Kisame has always had a certain influence in the village and is strong. With the support of the "New Order Alliance", he began to actively move and win over people's hearts in preparation for the position of Mizukage.

Mei Terumi is under tremendous pressure in the face of such a situation. On the one hand, she needs to deal with the difficulties and doubts of the elders, and on the other hand, she must guard against the covert actions of Kisame and his supporters.

At this critical moment, Kabuto played an important role. He used his well-woven intelligence network to collect evidence of the various conspiracies and plans of the elders and the "New Order Alliance". In addition, Kabuto actively promoted Mei Terumi in the village, telling her merits and contributions to the village, trying to change the villagers' views.

In a public debate, Mei Terumi and Kisame stood in the village square, facing all the villagers, and explained their plans and ideas for the future development of the Hidden Mist Village.

Kisame spoke first. He said in a loud voice: "Dear villagers, I, Kisame, believe that Kirigakure needs a strong and decisive leader now. I have many years of combat experience and leadership skills. I can lead you to a stronger future, make Kirigakure the overlord of the ninja world, and enhance the prestige of our village."

Mei Terumi then took the stage. She looked calm and determined, and slowly said, "I know everyone is worried about the future of the village, but what I want to say is that strength is not the only goal we pursue. What we need is peace, development and unity. I will work hard to improve the living conditions in the village, strengthen cooperation and exchanges with other villages, so that our children will no longer live under the shadow of war and live a happy and peaceful life."

The villagers in the audience began to whisper and talk among themselves.

At this time, Kabuto stood up and displayed the evidence he had collected that Kisame was secretly colluding with other forces in the "New Order Alliance" in an attempt to sell out the interests of the Hidden Mist Village. He also exposed the unfair plans and conspiracies of the elders.

The villagers were immediately in an uproar, expressing their anger and disappointment at the actions of Kisame and the elders.

After this incident, Mei Terumi's support rate began to rise. But she knew that this was just the beginning and there were more challenges waiting for her.

On the other hand, some people with ulterior motives in the village began to make trouble for Mei Terumi in terms of resource allocation and task arrangement, trying to make her make mistakes in her work and lose the trust of the villagers.

In order to resolve this complex problem, Mei Terumi worked tirelessly and carefully formulated a series of fair, reasonable, scientific and rigorous resource allocation plans. However, once the plan was proposed, it was strongly opposed by some families. They united and formed a close alliance, trying to force Mei Terumi to abandon these plans with a tough attitude and means.

In order to help Mei Terumi, Kabuto worked tirelessly to shuttle between the various families, using his wisdom, eloquence and strategy to persuade some families with more moderate attitudes and less firm positions. As for those families who were stubborn and determined to oppose, Kabuto cleverly used their internal contradictions and differences in interests to skillfully exert pressure, divide and disintegrate their alliances, and gradually promote and implement the resource allocation plan.

During this difficult and challenging period, Kabuto and Mei Terumi supported each other, fought side by side, and spent more and more time together. Their hearts kept getting closer in the process of working together, and their feelings for each other quietly took root and grew.

The concern in his eyes seemed to be able to melt the glaciers that had existed for thousands of years.

Mei Terumi looked up at the voice and looked at Kabuto's warm eyes. She was deeply moved. Kabuto had always been by her side, supporting and encouraging her on this long road of struggle. At this moment, her eyes were slightly red, with tears in them. "Thank you, Kabuto. Without your support and company, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this difficult journey."

Kabuto smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring breeze, as if it could dispel all the haze. He gently stretched out his hand, trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of Terumi Mei's eyes, "I will always be by your side, accompany you through the wind and rain, and overcome every obstacle."

Mei Terumi felt the tenderness and care from Kabuto, and the fatigue in her heart seemed to be relieved a lot. She couldn't help but hold the hand that Kabuto extended to her, and their eyes met. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and a subtle and warm emotion filled the air.

As time goes by, Mei Terumi, with the full help of Kabuto, relies on her indomitable will, determination to move forward and outstanding leadership skills to resolve the problems one by one. Her ability is gradually recognized and supported by most people in the village, and the relationship between the two is deepening as they fight side by side.

However, just before Mei Terumi was about to officially take over the position of Mizukage, an unexpected huge crisis suddenly struck like a storm.

The development of the Cloud Village has fallen into a dilemma due to the increasing scarcity of resources. Their senior officials are keenly aware of the rich resources of the Hidden Mist Village and the internal power changes and temporary chaos. In order to obtain the resources of the Hidden Mist Village to solve the difficulties of their own development, the Cloud Village believes that this is a great opportunity and attempts to take advantage of the fire. As a result, the Cloud Village quickly assembled a large-scale military force, with flags covering the sky and drums thundering. The soldiers are all ready to fight, and they are approaching the Hidden Mist Village with great momentum, trying to annex it in one fell swoop and take it for themselves.

The dark clouds of war gathered rapidly over the Hidden Mist Village. Mei Terumi remained calm and composed in the face of danger. She was dressed in armor, with a determined look in her eyes, and she immediately summoned the ninjas in the village.

In the assembly square, Mei Terumi said loudly: "Fellow countrymen of the Hidden Mist Village, the enemy tried to trample on our homes and take away our resources. But we will never retreat and we will never be afraid! Today, we will rise up to resist for the village, for our loved ones and friends!" The ninjas were excited and shouted in unison, the weapons in their hands flashing coldly in the sun.

However, due to the suddenness of the incident and the urgency of time, the village's fortifications had not yet been fully built, and the defense force was still very weak, making it difficult to resist the enemy's large-scale attack.

At the critical moment, Dou volunteered, "I will go to the enemy camp to gather intelligence and find a breakthrough for our battle." His eyes were firm, without a trace of hesitation.

Mei Terumi looked at Kabuto, with worry in her eyes, but more of trust, "Be careful."

Kabuto nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.
