Naruto: Hidden in the Mist Konoha

Kirigakure, Mizukage Room.

The young Yondaime Mizukage did not sit on the high Mizukage seat. He walked slowly in the Mizukage room. From time to time, he raised his head to glance at the three masters of the Kirigakure family sitting nearby, and his sharp eyes flashed past.

"Don't worry about other things for now. There are a few things today that need to be resolved first." The head of the Ise family, Ise Umino, leaned on the back of his chair with a sinister look on his face, "Tsubakahara-sama, the Sandaime-sama is ill. You should know better than us what Shigetoki said. Whoever can tame the Three-Tailed Isoba will be the Fourth Mizukage. Now, Yagura is Kirigakure’s only Jinchuuriki. The last time the three clans held a meeting, It has been agreed that Yagura will be the Fourth Mizukage. Tsukahara-sama, the Anbu has always been directly led by the Mizukage. Now that the Fourth Mizukage is here, you should hand over the command of the Anbu."

"Master Ise, are you asking me about Kirigakure's rules?" Tsukahara Yuxiang sat upright, with a face that was not angry and intimidating. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he showed an aura of killing and killing all year round.

"If you are young and don't know the rules of Kirigakure, you can ask me, or you can ask the head of the Kitsuki family. The Kitsuki family is a Mizukage, so they understand these rules."

With a condescending tone and arrogance that disdained explanations, Isekai was filled with ambition and anger. His face turned red and white, showing that the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Seeing that Ise Umino was about to explode, Yasushi Onizukigawa coughed a few times and patted his head with a fan, "Oh my, the older you get, the harder it is to remember things. If you can't remember things, the harder it is to remember them. It’s urgent, and the more anxious you are, the more panic you feel.”

Onizukigawa Yasujiriguulu spoke quickly and like a tongue twister, successfully attracting attention.

"If the head of the Tsukahara family hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about it. Speaking of which, the Onizuki family did have a Mizukage decades ago. I was still very young at that time, and I heard from the older generation that He said, at that time, it seemed that it was still a ninja war. During the war, there were some rules, and whatever could be saved, they were saved."

"Master Guiyue, I still need to speak clearly. You must save what you can, but rules are always rules, and there are always rules that cannot be ignored. Some things are still provided by Guiyue's family."

"Oh, that's right. What Tsukahara-san said made a bit of an impression on me. Head of the Ise family, don't be anxious. There are some things that you have to take your time. Back then, Daime Byakuren-sama ordered Kirigakure died, and before his death, he handed over the ANBU and Mizukage's direct bodyguards to the Tsukahara family, and when the daimyo canonized the second Mizukage, the Tsukahara family would return the ANBU and Mizukage's direct bodyguards."

"Designation of a great name" Ise Umino's pupils shrank, and he scolded Yasu Onizukikawa countless times in his heart. The two families agreed to put pressure on Tsukahara, but when it came to the end, the old cunning man hid something else.

"I want to be enthroned," the Yondaime Yagura, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Yes, Yondaime-sama. Our Kirigakure Village is the strategic military force of the Kingdom of Water. All major matters such as war, diplomacy, and leadership changes require the consent of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water. Only when you are canonized by the Daimyo, can you A veritable shadow of water.”

Tsukahara Yuko bowed slightly and was very respectful to Yagura.

"When Kirigakure founded the village, the ancestors of the Tsukahara family swore never to take the position of the Mizukage. Therefore, when the Mizukages of the past generations changed, the Anbu and the direct troops of the Mizukage were entrusted to the Tsukahara family. The Tsukahara family never I will forget my oath.”

"Okay, I believe what the head of the Tsukahara family said. Since it is a legacy that existed when the village was founded, Yagura will not destroy it for his own selfish purposes. Umino-sama, please arrange for someone to tell the daimyo about my appointment as the Fourth Mizukage. , please ask the daimyo to send the canonization documents to Kirigakure as soon as possible."

Yagura was straightforward and unobtrusive. Ise Umino looked at Yagura, as if he was a little puzzled that Yagura would compromise so easily. After a while, Ise Umino turned his head and looked at Tsukahara Hako again, and then nodded, "I will do it as soon as possible. Go do it.”

"It's very valuable that Yondaime-sama can understand." Tsukahara Hako praised.

"Thank you, Tsukahara-sama. Yagura is young and has just ascended the Mizukage position. There are many things that I don't understand and I still need Tsukahara-sama's guidance."

"Mizukage-sama, you're welcome. It is Tsukahara's duty to assist Mizukage."

Several people said some polite words, but they all knew that it was not possible for Tsukahara to hand over military power at this time. The few people then discussed several daily matters and soon made decisions. After a while, several people started talking about the upcoming ninja school graduation exam.

"I asked Mitsuhide to visit this year's graduates. They are very good. There are several outstanding talents among them. If they are recruited into ANBU and trained, Kirigakure's combat power may be even higher."

"Oops, Tsukahara-san, Tsukahara-san, we Kirigakure did not participate in the Second World War and the Third War. Those great ninja villages are now exhausted. What do we need to do with too strong combat power? The combat power is too strong. Fire Those famous names in the Kingdom of Japan, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Thunder will not be happy. Besides, in the past few years, the Anbu have been picked first every year, and the Anbu have always picked the top ones, making the graduation exams in recent years very ugly. . The adults in the Kingdom of Water have a lot of complaints about the village. Lord Mizukage, you can’t rely on Brother Tsukahara this time. The mirror of Suigetsu has been sent to the homes of the adults in the Kingdom of Water. I heard that The adults all have to take a vacation to wait for the graduation exam. If they are as perfunctory as last year, I am afraid that the Yamauchi daimyo will find out about it and will blame him. The canonization of the Yondaime-sama is now a critical moment, and it cannot be delayed by such a trivial matter as the graduation exam. Yes."

Yasushi Onizukikawa suddenly came forward, making Isumi feel despicable. The Suigetsu Mirror is the unique secret technique of the Kitsuki family. It can display the real-time mirror image of the graduation exam thousands of miles away in Kirigakure. With the Suigetsu Mirror, the Kitsuki Family has brought a new kind of reality to many adults in the Kingdom of Water. pleasure. The brutal and bloody graduation exam at the beginning really frightened several normally pampered adults. But bloodthirsty is human nature, and soon, the live broadcast of the graduation exam became a fashionable activity among adults in the Water Kingdom. Every year for the graduation exam, adults will select graduates from the roster of contestants provided by Guiyue's family to place bets. What is good in the past must be followed in the future. Now, the annual graduation exam has become a day of carnival for the people of the Water Kingdom. Ise Umino once sent someone to do a survey. The income of the Onizuki family in a few days of graduation exams was equal to the income of Kirigakure village in the past eight months. But what Ise Umino didn't know was that thanks to the live broadcast of the graduation exam, the Kitsuki family had become more and more important in the hearts of adults in recent years. Perhaps, it is more important than the existence of Mizukage.

"Brother Kitsuki, there is always money to be made," Ise Umino advised, "Only yesterday did foreign ninjas enter the village to rob people, so Lord Mizukage issued an SSS-level mission. You must know SSS-level missions better than me. . This is the first time I have seen it in my life. When we came, the whole village was still under martial law. The recovery troops have not yet sent back the news. I heard that the ANBU has also been dispatched. In this situation, I I think there is no need to talk about picking people or live broadcasting. We should think about it carefully. Someone slapped us in the face. Even if we don’t talk about hitting back, we must first find out who slapped us."

As Ise Umino spoke, the words entered his ears, and he suddenly froze.

It has been 18 hours since Tora Chiyo was kidnapped. Within 18 hours, none of the nineteen jounin sent by Kirigakure returned to the village, and even the four jounin of his own Ise family had no news at all. The ANBU has always been in the hands of the Tsukahara family. Maybe the ANBU has more clear information, otherwise, Tsukahara Yuxiang, an old thief, would not be able to sit here and discuss matters so peacefully.

"There is no news from the ANBU," Tsukahara Yuxiang shook his head, "There is no news. Today, the ANBU sent by Tianming sent back some news. Before you arrived, I had already reported it to the Yondaime-sama."

"There are dozens of traces of the battle outside the village, and one of them is suspected to be the corpse vein technique of the Kaguya clan. Farther away, the remnant formation of the Water Chakra Nirvana Formation was found. Around the remnant formation, Tsukahara Eru and Tora Chiyo were found , Ryuugaki, Ishihara's blood stains, as well as the chakra traces unique to the Konoha Uchiha clan. Farther away, there are no traces of any ninja battles. All the Kirigakure jounin are missing. Whether they are dead or injured, it is currently impossible to determine. "

Ise Umino and Onizukigawa Yasushi exchanged views and read the ANBU report, feeling inexplicably shocked. The Kaguya clan lives on the coast of the distant sea. The environment is harsh and the pressure to survive is extremely high. Although there are nearly ten jounin in the village, they are not strong enough to compete with Kirigakure Village. The scary thing is the Uchiha. In the ANBU report, the traces of the Kaguya clan are still suspicious, but the traces of the Uchiha clan's chakra are very certain. The Uchiha are a famous ninja family. There are many geniuses in the family, and the number of jounin is even greater than that of the Uchiha family. There are more Tsukaharas, and more importantly, Uchiha is Konoha's vanguard security force. If Uchiha takes action, Konoha will probably follow behind.

"In the Great War of Konoha, we fought against Suna Ninja and Kumo Ninja successively, and more than half of the Jōnin were lost. In order to deceive others, twelve-year-old boys were promoted to Jōnin. This is already the situation, does Konoha still have any The strength starts a war with our Kirigakure.”

Yagura's question is also the question of the three people here. Ise Umino and Onizukigawa Yasuo looked at each other, and looked at Tsukahara Hako with Yagura. This answer may only be answered by Tsukahara Hako, who is in charge of the ANBU intelligence department.

"The news we received earlier is that Konoha has reached an end-of-war agreement with the Kingdom of Rain, and the Rain Team has returned to Konoha. At this time, Konoha is withdrawing its troops from the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder. In addition, Konoha has just selected four The Daime Hokage is the yellow flash Minato Namikaze who rose to fame during the war. According to ANBU intelligence, before Namikaze Minato took over the Hokage, Konoha's Orochimaru was expelled from the village, and Jiraiya and Tsunade subsequently left Konoha. The specific whereabouts are unknown.”

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura of the Ise family, thought for a while and asked: "Head of the Tsukahara family, based on the existing intelligence and evidence, can we declare war on Konoha?"
