The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

"How is it, little Qingsi! Is my seat comfortable?" The Third Mizukage Bing was sitting opposite Qingsi at this time, and joked to Qingsi with an indescribable sense of relief in his tone. Ever since handing over the power of Mizukage to Qingsi, Bing, who had unloaded the heavy burden on him, can be said to be living younger and younger, and his condition has shown a significant improvement that is visibly improved.

Qingsi looked helplessly at the Third-generation Mizukage Bing in front of him, revealing a bitter smile, "Third-generation sir, you are really......!"

"Haha! There's nothing we can do about it! It's because you, little Seiji, are so outstanding!" The Third Mizukage laughed heartily. He has never been a person who covets power. Over the years, the Hidden Mist Village has been almost entirely supported by him. He stubbornly implemented the radical "blood mist" policy just to train more elite ninjas for the Hidden Mist Village. When he saw that Seiji could perfectly perform the duties of the Mizukage and govern the Hidden Mist Village more and more prosperously, he decisively transferred all power to Seiji.

"I'm not as good as the Third Generation Master! I hope the Third Generation Master can give me more advice!" Qingsi shook his head and said modestly.

"Hehe...! There's no need to flatter me. I know I'm not qualified to be the Mizukage...!" Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage Bing smiled bitterly. He was very self-aware. Let alone anything else, just talking about Kiyoshi's reform of the ninja school, it was far from what he did when he was in office. Not to mention that the fundamental reason for all the changes in the Hidden Mist Village now was all because of Kiyoshi.

"Don't say that! The Third-Kage is indispensable to the Hidden Mist Village!" Qingsi said seriously. Although he didn't necessarily agree with the Third-Kage Mizukage Bing's governing methods in his heart, he had to admit that the Third-Kage Mizukage Bing was indispensable in the development of the Hidden Mist Village.

Moreover, although the "blood mist" policy does not seem to be a good solution now, and a lot of talents have been buried in the process, from Bing's perspective at the time and the limitations of ninja thinking, there is really no better way to think of. After all, the martial spirit of the Hidden Mist Village that respects the strong has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the Hidden Mist Ninjas.

Moreover, the "Blood Mist" policy did contribute to filling the mid-to-high-end combat power of the Hidden Mist Village, otherwise it would not have been unanimously agreed upon by all major families.

It can be said that if there had not been a Kage-level strongman like Bing who forcibly supported the Hidden Mist Village over the years, the Hidden Mist Village would probably have fallen apart long ago.

That is the absurdity of the ninja world!

The Third Mizukage Bing smiled when he heard what Qingsi said, but he immediately put away the smile on his face and became more serious, "Then let's talk business first! The Ninja World War is over. When will Qingsi officially succeed as the Fourth Mizukage?"

Qing Si pondered for a moment, then said, "Then... let's set it on the 1st of next month!"

"Alright!" The Third Mizukage Bing nodded directly. He also thought that July 7st was a good date. "Let's leave the succession ceremony to the Yuanshi Elder! He is very familiar with this!"

After a slight pause, the Third Mizukage Bing continued with a smile on his face, "You don't have to worry about this matter, Xiao Qingsi. I will talk to the Elder Yuanshi later and I promise to make clear arrangements for you! After all, this is the Fourth Mizukage Ceremony that Elder Yuanshi is in charge of!"

-----------------

More than half a month has passed since the Ninja World War officially ended.

During this period, although there were occasional minor frictions between the various parties in the ninja world, they all restrained themselves from each other and no major conflicts occurred.

The ninja world once again entered a period of peace and tranquility.

However, I don’t know how long this peace can last?

Time quickly came to July 37, the 7th year of Kirigakure.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, dragons of different colors suddenly appeared in the sky above the Hidden Mist Village, tumbling in the air. Then, the bodies of the dragons suddenly exploded and turned into countless brilliant sparks, shining brightly like falling stars.

The ceremony to succeed the Fourth Mizukage began on time.

On the high platform at the top of the Mizukage Building, the Third Mizukage Bing, wearing a blue and white Mizukage hat, appeared first. Not far behind him were the elders, the master, and the heads of the major families in the Hidden Mist Village, as well as a group of jonin or elite jonin who held positions in the village.

Bing walked to the edge of the platform and opened his eyes, which were usually closed. He first looked around the village he loved, and then looked at all the Kirigakure ninjas and villagers of the Kirigakure who had gathered below.

"The Fourth Mizukage Inauguration Ceremony begins now!!!" Bing's voice, enhanced by chakra, echoed in the ears of all those who came to attend the ceremony. "The ceremony will be hosted by me! The Third Mizukage Bing! Please give me your guidance!!!"

Then Bing took a deep breath and continued excitedly, "Now please welcome the hero of our Hidden Mist Village! Otsutsuki Seiji, who will soon serve as the Fourth Mizukage, is here!!!"

Everyone below was excited, looking at the stage with anticipation, and thunderous applause and cheers rang out.

In recent times, all of Qingsi's past mission records that could be made public and did not involve the village's secrets, as well as his various contributions to the Hidden Mist Village, have been made public. Bing and Yuanshi have been constantly building up momentum for Qingsi, which has really raised everyone's expectations to the maximum.

As the applause and cheers gradually died down, a rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the podium.

"Tap...! Tap...! Tap...!" Every step that landed on the ground stepped on the heartbeat of everyone present.

Qingsi, wearing a blue and white divine robe with the five big characters "Fourth-generation Mizukage" written on the back, slowly walked from the shadows on the side to the front of the Third-generation Mizukage Bing.

"Then please! Fourth generation! The future of the Hidden Mist Village is entrusted to you!!!" Bing said to Qingsi solemnly, then took off the blue and white hat that symbolized the identity of the Mizukage and handed it to Qingsi.

Qingsi took the Mizukage's hat, put it on solemnly, and said confidently, "Thank you for your hard work! Third-generation master! Leave the rest to me! I will definitely live up to your expectations!!!"
