Naruto: I am invincible after simplifying the basic training

The Land of Water, surrounded by water, has mist spreading all year round. For the people of the Land of Water who have lived here for generations, it has long become a common phenomenon.

It has even become their natural umbrella of protection.

For the Hidden Mist Village, the diffused water vapor and the vast sea area allow them to exert extraordinary strength in water escape.

Unlike the Land of Wind, which has a similarly harsh climate, they do not need to worry about the lack of food production, and the abundant aquatic resources are enough for them to be self-sufficient.

In this turbulent era, this has become the basis for them to close the country and not be moved by external factors.

But as a member of the Ninja World, they still have to face threats from other countries, and they also have to consider and plan for the future of the country.

Land of Water, Hidden Mist Village, Mizukage Office.

The third generation Mizukage with long black hair and squinting eyes is vaguely distinguishing the trance lights through the mist in front of the window.

Whether it is the first generation Mizukage or the second generation Mizukage, he is responsible for the guard.

The first generation Mizukage Hakuren pacified the civil strife in the Land of Water and took him to the first Five Kage Conference. At that time, he understood what peace was.

After the death of Hashirama Senju, his master, the second generation Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, led the Mist Ninja to participate in the war for the benefit of the village. He understood the value of peace.

So after Hozuki Gengetsu died, in order to prevent the people of the Land of Water from being affected by the war and some ambitious people, he resolutely chose to close the country and relied on the advantage of being surrounded by the sea to turn the Land of Water into a paradise.

He did not have too much ambition, he just wanted the people to live a good life. After the war was over, he would open up the sea shipping route. Maybe the resources accumulated by the Land of Water would be valuable and create greater benefits for the entire Land of Water.

But his subordinates, the top leaders of the Mist Hidden Village, had different opinions on this.

"Lord Third, this period is a great opportunity for us! The wars in various countries have just ended, and both supplies and military forces have been severely damaged. If we attack now, we will definitely be able to occupy the ports of the coastal countries of the continent. At that time, those places will become our bridgeheads! The Water Country will rise because of this!"

There was a circle of people sitting behind the Third Mizukage. After one of the elders finished speaking, another one also said:

"Indeed, your closed-door policy has indeed achieved unexpected results, but if we want to gain greater benefits, we should take advantage of the situation and go out to let the world see how powerful we are! And according to intelligence, the Rain Country in the center of the continent has been occupied by Qiye, and it is coming with great momentum. The attention of the other four major countries has been attracted by it, which is undoubtedly another opportunity for us. We have increased our chances of winning! We can use him, form an alliance with him, promise him inland resources, and let him help us attract more attention! "

"Third elder, your opinion is reasonable, but Nanaya is not a fool, and the four countries are not fools! Once we send troops, they will definitely send heavy troops to defend the coastline, and the top combat forces we can send out, except for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, are us old bones. Although the combat power of the other four countries has been seriously depleted, it is not too easy to contain us. What should the tailed beasts of each country do at that time? So our top priority now is to have our own Jinchūriki and unseal the two tailed beasts. "

For a while, all the high-level officials of Kirigakure expressed their opinions, and the core of the problem was to send troops to seek more benefits.

The third generation Mizukage squinted at the mist outside the window, and a hint of coldness appeared in the slits of his eyes.

What these Kirigakure high-level officials want, he knows better than anyone, it's nothing more than benefits!

Just because they come from the family power that the first generation joined when they started their career, in terms of seniority, they are older than him, the third generation Mizukage.

And from a historical perspective, the first generation, needless to say, suppressed the Water Country with his own strength, and the second generation came from the top family of the Water Country, the Hozuki clan.

And he is just a nameless, rootless, and Kirigakure ninja who grew up little by little from Kirigakure.

But relatively speaking, it is precisely because he comes from Kirigakure, does not have so many background relationships, and has experienced everything that ordinary people would experience during the war that he can become a Mizukage who is dedicated to the people and is recognized by the first and second generations.

"I will not stop the war."

The third generation Mizukage said softly, and everyone was silent. The younger family representatives were immediately overjoyed, while the older generation was waiting for the next words.

The third generation Mizukage is not as easy to talk to as he appears!

"But I have two requests. First, your war is a personal act. Do not involve the Hidden Mist Village. The village has no obligation to send ninjas out. Second, the tailed beasts are the final bottom line. As long as I am in power, they can only have a deterrent effect, but no use. PowerThe power of the village lies in limitations and unknowns. I don't want the village to be in a dead end because of its obsession with the power of the tailed beasts. "

The young generation of the Kirigakure high-level frowned for a moment, and then repeatedly thought about the words of the third generation, while the old foxes of the older generation smiled.

"Please let the third generation know the village's employment fee."

An old fox asked tentatively, and the eyes of the younger generation lit up.

"The village does not take a penny of your war proceeds. It only needs to be priced according to the previous task rating. It is simply an employment relationship."

As soon as these words came out, the younger generation was secretly happy, while the older generation frowned deeply.

"Anything else? If you have nothing to do, go back. You can come up with a corresponding combat plan, and then come to the village to apply for tasks. All tasks will be issued through me. You know my personality, and I hope you can do it in more detail. "

The Third Mizukage smiled with narrowed eyes, obviously expelling everyone, and the senior leaders had to lead people away.

On the way back.

A future heir of a family looked at the frowning patriarch, puzzled, so he suppressed his joy and asked quietly:

"Grandpa, why do you look unhappy? Once the war starts, our major families will gain huge benefits, and they don't have to be divided by the village. Isn't this a good thing? Even if it is set to the specifications of an S-level mission, how much money can it cost? When we plunder the resources and the labor force, we will definitely make more than a hundred times! "

The old man glanced at his grandson. He was not the only one. He really wanted to slap him to death! But for the sake of the revival of the family, some things must be endured. If he can be taught, he will be taught. If he can't be taught, he can just find a few people who can do things to help and support him.

"This third generation is an old fox. The Hidden Mist Village does not want to be involved in the war. Since we are not allowed to use the banner of the Land of Water and Hidden Mist, then the use of the Mist Ninja has become a difficult hurdle. He personally issued it. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent us from taking advantage of our duties. And don't forget that the task can be delegated, and the village naturally has the right to refuse. He doesn't want to be in the same boat with us!"

"Hiss~ What about the tailed beast?"

"That sentence should be combined with the previous one. It is to remind us of the scale of the war. Once we start a war and it rises to the level of using Jinchūriki, he will abandon us without hesitation."

"This...Grandpa! Why don't we mobilize all the families? With him here to hinder us, it will affect more than just our family. When the time comes, we will unite..."

The young man didn't finish his words, but some of his meanings were very clear.

The old man felt a headache, but fortunately his grandson didn't say some things directly, letting him know that there was a cure.

"You think those books you read every day are in vain, right? ! Go and take a good look at the resources left to him by the first and second generations! "

The young man smacked his lips and quickly recalled those boring biographies that were like history books, which recorded the history of the rise of the Water Country since the first generation.

For example, in the current Kirigakure, except for 10% of the family forces, the rest are all ordinary families recruited by the first generation. During his reign, all the achievements made by the first generation for those ordinary people.

And the second generation of Mizukage was even more amazing. He combined the family forces with the newly emerging ordinary forces and founded the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, completely splitting the so-called concept of forces. They were only loyal to the Mizukage and the Kirigakure.

And these are obviously precious treasures left to the third generation.

Although the major families that have integrated into the Kirigakure can interfere in the political affairs of the Kirigakure and seek some small profits, they cannot interfere in the most core political rights, or in other words, they cannot control the people's hearts in the Kirigakure.

"Since we can't move, what should we do? ”

“What else can we do? Don’t make a big fuss. Just make some small profits in the surrounding coastal countries. This is why he didn’t refuse directly. He also saw the opportunity, but he just didn’t want to take the risk... It’s ridiculous!”

As the old man spoke, he also figured out the key points. If things don’t get out of hand, then the investment may not be less, but the return may not be as big as imagined. It may even be that the commission earned by the task of the Hidden Mist Village will become the biggest part in the end!

The third generation! What an old fox!

In the Mizukage’s office, when the senior people went out, the third generation Mizukage did not rush to revise government affairs, but carefully tidied up the tables and chairs and put them neatly one by one.

This is a habit he developed when he was a guard beside the first and second generations.

If you ask him what the greatest valuable wealth left by the two generations of Mizukage is, those personal connections and ninja forces are really just the most basic. In his heart, the most important thing is the years when he was a guard.

During that time, no matter what kind of meeting it was, he was often arranged to be by his side, listening toWatching.

Now, it has become his precious wealth. He has no family elders to teach him these ways. Everything depends on listening and watching.

It was also from that time that he understood the so-called family and the so-called village.

The village is a general concept, which includes all kinds of people. For the village, there is no concept of family and ordinary people. They are all members. As a qualified Mizukage, he can focus on a certain group because of selfishness, but he cannot give up a certain part of the people!

This is why he chooses to restrict instead of suppress.

He is the shadow of a village, not the representative of a certain force.

I just hope...

"My lord, they should give up the choice of large-scale war."

A white mist penetrated from the window and then condensed into a shadow figure.

The eyes of the third generation Mizukage finally opened, adding a bit of color to his face, which was already very beautiful.

"Keep watching. All the tasks they report in the future must be issued by me. Their combat intentions and progress must be controlled. By the way, notify everyone that it is strictly forbidden to accept combat tasks privately. Once discovered, they will be severely punished!"

"Don't worry, sir. Everyone knows that this is for our own good. We will definitely do what we can."

"Well, you just need to understand. Whether it is a ninja or an ordinary person, it is just to support the family. Try to lean towards those civilian tasks in the Water Country. Although it is less profitable for you, they have begun to trust the village over the years, and the entrusted tasks have actually increased."

The Third Mizukage finally tidied up the tables and chairs, returned to his desk and sat down. After looking at the misty figure who had not left, he said:

"Anything else? Just say it directly. As a guard, you don't have to be so taboo about me."

The figure hesitated for a while, and then said nervously:

"Third-generation sir, I will first I admit my mistake. A week ago, I secretly left the island and went to the Kingdom of Soup without reporting. "

The Third Mizukage smiled after hearing this:

"Since the country was closed, we can't enter or leave. There is no foreign trade. In terms of some material needs, the village's supply is indeed not as good as before. I also know that you went to the Kingdom of Soup and the Kingdom of Bear privately. I really wronged you. After a while, when the countries are stable, or those families open the coasts of the countries, then the problem can be solved. You should have more than that to say, right? Did you encounter any problems on this trip?"

"Thank you for your understanding! This time when I went to the Kingdom of Soup, I learned a piece of information. About four days ago, the troops originally sent by the Kingdom of Thunder to the Kingdom of Iron began to retreat. They retreated very quickly. They did not take the return route of the three countries by land, but wanted to take a boat directly through the Kingdom of Soup and return to the Kingdom of Thunder as quickly as possible! "

The Third Mizukage frowned! His eyes narrowed again!

Something big must have happened in the Kingdom of Thunder!

Otherwise, why would they retreat so hastily!

He didn't want the Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Water to participate in the war among the nations because there was also a Land of Thunder, the Hidden Cloud Village, which had basically not been damaged, watching covetously from the side!

The other side was surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the inland on one side. Its geographical advantage was stronger than that of the Land of Water!

But why would such a powerful country withdraw its troops in a hurry?

If they went inland, it might be that the other side had other ideas, such as paralyzing other countries, and actually wanted to launch a surprise attack halfway.

But if they went by sea, with the involvement of the Land of Water and radiating to the islands, the Land of Thunder would have no choice but to withdraw its troops!

What exactly happened to the Land of Thunder? !

"Is the news accurate?"

"When I went to buy supplies, I found that prices had risen. After I asked the reason, I learned that it was the merchants who went to the Iron Country who learned the news and then stockpiled goods in the Hot Spring Country to make a fortune. I believe that my companions outside will soon collect accurate information and send it back."

The Third Mizukage nodded.

"You did a good job. Some of the intelligence is not groundless. The terrain of the Land of Hot Springs is special. This is probably true. Moreover, after we have the direction, we also have the accurate direction of investigation. So, you pass on my order and take people to the Land of Lightning immediately. The quieter they are these days, the more serious the problem is!"

But before the Third Mizukage finished his order, a ninja outside the office suddenly shouted anxiously:

"Third-generation sir! A smuggling ship was found on the coastline of the Land of Water! There is a woman inside who broke through the coastal defense line! According to several jonin, the power she used seems to be the power of the tailed beast! After several families learned the news, they have sent people to capture her!"

"What! Jinchūriki landed on the island?! Just one person? No one else?!"

The third generation, who claims to be calm in everything,The eyes of the Mizukage Dai were wide open!

The mist figure next to him was speechless!

It turns out that the eyes of the Third Generation can be opened so wide!
