The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

The conference room in the Shuiying Building.

All the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village gathered together after a long absence.

At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened from the outside, and then Kiyoshi strode in, followed by the Mizukage's secretary Chino Hozumi and the Mizukage's assistant Yagura Karatachi.

"Lord Mizukage is here!" Xiguashan Pufferfish, the captain of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen sitting in the front row, jumped up from his seat like a spring the same time Qingsi walked into the meeting room, and shouted loudly.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost stood straight with a serious and solemn expression. His eyes, which were as sharp as an eagle due to his long-term high position, now flashed with awe and respect as he saluted Qing Si.

In the meeting room, the other Kirigakure high-level officials who were originally chatting with each other and greeting their acquaintances, immediately stopped talking and their expressions became solemn after hearing the "hint" from the Xiguashan Puffer Demon.

Then, they followed the actions of the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and subconsciously stood up, casting admiring glances at Qingsi's walking figure...!

Even the Third Mizukage Bing, the Elder Master, and some older generation Kirigakure high-ranking officials also stood up and expressed their respect for the current Mizukage with their actions...!

There is no other reason, just because Qingsi is worth it!

And this is exactly the prestige that Qingsi has in the Hidden Mist Village now!

After all, ever since the Third Mizukage Bing gradually delegated the power of managing the Hidden Mist Village to Kiyoshi, the development of the Hidden Mist Village can be said to have entered a fast lane. Later, after Kiyoshi officially took office as the Fourth Mizukage, along with his drastic reforms to the entire Hidden Mist Village, the development speed of the Hidden Mist Village has jumped several levels again on the basis of its already rapid development!

Moreover, during this round of explosive development of the Hidden Mist Village, both ninjas of civilian origin and ninjas from families have reaped huge benefits from Kiyoshi's reforms.

The civilian ninjas have acquired a large number of high-end ninjutsu or secret techniques that they had never dared to imagine or had no access to at all, while the family ninjas have not only made great progress in their own strength, but the foundation of their respective families has also become much deeper...!

More importantly, the overall economic situation of the Hidden Mist Village has also greatly improved. Not only has the village's financial situation improved, no longer needing to rely on the pitiful funds sent by the Daimyo of the Water Country every year, but even the pockets of the villagers and the Hidden Mist Ninjas have become fatter.

You know, money is not everything, but without money, you can do nothing. Therefore, it is no wonder that Qingji has a very high status in the hearts of all the people in the Hidden Mist Village. Moreover, this is something that the previous three Mizukage had not been able to do!

At the root of it all, who wouldn't respect a Mizukage who leads everyone towards strength and common prosperity...?

In terms of his overall contribution to the Hidden Mist Village, Kiyoshi can be said to have surpassed the Third Mizukage, Bing, and the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu. Even the First Mizukage, Byakuren, might not have been able to catch up with Kiyoshi in the hearts of the people of the Hidden Mist Village if it had not been for his achievements in ending the war in the Water Country and establishing the Hidden Mist Village.

Qingsi was slightly stunned by the Xiguashan puffer ghost's behavior, but he came to his senses in an instant, and a smile appeared on his face. He nodded in return to the Kirigakure high-ranking officials who showed respect to him.

Although it was a bit abrupt, the flattery from the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was like a gentle spring breeze blowing across Qingsi's heart, making him extremely happy and giving him a feeling of comfort and pleasure!

And which man can resist this extremely wonderful feeling... ?

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

Qing Si came to the front of the conference room and stood still. Without any unnecessary nonsense, he started today's meeting directly. After all, when it comes to holding meetings, being swift and decisive has always been his usual style...!

"Please take a seat! Everyone!" Qingsi said softly. His voice was not very loud, but with the blessing of chakra, it surrounded the ears of every high-ranking member of Kirigakure who was present. "Information has come from the Sand Village in the Wind Country! Their Kazekage has 'disappeared' in the territory of the Wind Country..."

Having said that, Qing Si couldn't help himself and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

I have to say, this incident is really funny. The Third Kazekage Tessa, the strongest fighter in the Sand Village, actually "disappeared" in his home court!

Although Qingsi did not take Tessa's title of the strongest Kazekage of all time and his bloodline limit, Magnetic Release, seriously, Qingsi had fought with him before and had a clear understanding of Tessa's general level of strength.

What's more, the Land of Wind is full of deserts that allow Iron Sand to perfectly exert the power of his "Magnetic Release: Iron Sand". And in Qingsi's opinion, there is no problem for Iron Sand to fight in the desert and exert 120% of his strength.

Therefore, Qingsi does not think that in the current ninja world, apart from him, there are other ninjas who can kill Tiesha silently!!!

Yes, Qingsi used the word "kill" here!

Although the wording used in the intelligence was "missing", Kiyoshi had already confirmed the death of the Third Kazekage Tetsusa. After all, the information from White Zetsu was that Tetsusa had been "missing" for more than a month, and during this period, the Sand Village had invested a lot of energy in looking for Tetsusa's whereabouts but still found nothing, not to mention that White Zetsu had searched the entire Wind Kingdom before passing the information back.

Qingsi still has great confidence in White Zetsu's ability to collect intelligence. Since White Zetsu cannot find any trace of the Third Kazekage Tessa in the Land of Wind, then Tessa may have been killed and his body taken away!

So, it’s obvious!!!

The Third Kazekage, Tessa, was murdered by his own people in the Sand Village, so the process of his death did not cause any ripples or attract the attention of the Sand Village...!!!

And, more importantly, Qingsi had some vague impression of the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage Tiesha...!

He vaguely remembered that in the shallow information about the world of Naruto that he had learned in his previous life, there was a defected puppeteer from Sand Village, Sasori, and the one he controlled was the human puppet of the Third Kazekage, Iron Sand!!!
