Chapter 120 It's not just him, Kotori Mitsuha, who will find a good wife. I will too.
"Insanity!"
"Ignorant child!"
The Hidden Mist Village, Jonin Council
The representatives of the jonin from various families and civilians were all furious. Even Konoha did not dare to provoke them like this.
Do you really think you are the God of Ninja just because you have mastered Wood Release?
Not to mention, even if the God of Ninja came to their Kirigakure and they rushed forward, the God of Ninja might not be able to kill them all.
"Mr. Mizukage, is there a conspiracy here? For example, is Konoha doing this on purpose?"
Mizunotsuki Hitoshi, the patriarch of one of the five major ninja clans in Kirigakure, the Mizunotsuki clan, a handsome man like a woman slowly raised his hand. Perhaps because they were born good at ice shields, the Mizunotsuki clan was one of the few calmer ninja clans in the entire Kirigakure. The opposite of them was the Taketori clan.
Basically, Kirigakure will not tell them about any meetings, and this tribe doesn't care. They only need to know three things.
First, time.
Second, location.
Third, the list.
"After all, Konoha has even sent the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Land of Whirlpools. Even if it's under the pretext of revenge, it doesn't make sense. How could Sarutobi Hiruzen agree to such a thing?"
"That's because, Konoha is no longer controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen alone. Although the Konoha ninjas who defected to us don't know any extremely valuable information, they do know the current situation of Konoha."
Touichiro tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and an image of a person was projected on the wall behind him. It was Mitsuha Takanashi.
"This is the current leader of the Senju clan of Konoha, Mitsuha Kotobuki, a twelve-year-old with the strength of a Kage."
"Twelve years old??"
Looking at Mitsuha Kotori, who is about the same age as a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, the jonins couldn't help but feel curious. Ninjas mature precociously, but this one is a little overripe.
"Yes, his information is not difficult to find. After all, he was just an ordinary Genin before awakening Wood Release. I guess his change is a side effect of Wood Release. But it's better this way. This person is extremely smart, cunning, and mature. You don't have to underestimate him."
"He has always been free and easy in Konoha, as if he doesn't care about anything. Considering his age, even the old stick Sarutobi Hiruzen was deceived by him. As a result, after Uzumaki Mito died and his wife became a Jinchūriki, he immediately took advantage of this favorable situation to show his fangs."
"Now, he holds five positions: Root, Head of the Wood Division, Torture Division, Senju Clan Chief, and Konoha Jinchuriki's quasi-husband. In particular, the chakra battery he developed can allow people with talent but insufficient chakra to become ninjas. In an instant, he was able to draw a thousand people from Konoha who graduated from the Ninja Academy but failed to become ninjas, and formed the Senju Force. With the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique, they can exert a combat power comparable to more than three thousand ninjas when there is a Jinchuriki."
He did all this in just one year.
"call"
After Touichiro finished speaking, the entire conference room became quiet. Ninjas are creatures that admire the strong. If someone is very strong, they will not be jealous, but will only envy and worship him. There is no doubt that Mitsuha Takanashi is such a person. After all, the things he has done would probably be impossible for anyone else to do.
"So, Mizukage-sama, here's the problem."
Mizunoe Bing raised her hand again.
"How could such an intelligent person make such an unwise decision?"
“That’s what I’m curious about.”
Touichiro leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen.
"At the moment, we are missing some intelligence. We only know that he is building a big ship, and we don't know anything else. No matter how much we speculate, we can't get an answer. So, my decision is to treat this war the same way we would treat Konoha's war with us. We will fight like a lion against a rabbit with all our strength!"
"Anyway, if we win this battle, we can take over the island of Whirlpool Country. If we station troops there, our influence will spread to Nevernight Town. By then, the business of selling ninja tools will probably expand, and we won't lose money no matter how we look at it."
"I agree."
Hearing this, Mizunotsuki Bing nodded. Indeed, for such an intelligent person to do such an unwise thing, he must have something to rely on. If he still treats it with caution, he does not deserve to be called a ninja.
"Then let's discuss how to fight this war."
Touichiro spoke again.
"First of all, considering that the opponent has the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and our Six-Tails Jinchuriki just died of old age not long ago, and the Six-Tails has not yet been reborn, so I will go into battle myself and control the Three-Tails."
The Kirigakure ninjas below all nodded. Although the Third Mizukage was not a jinchūriki, thanks to his special bloodline limit, he had extremely deadly killing power against the Three-Tails Isobu, so he defeated the Three-Tails directly. He could be regarded as a jinchūriki who was not a jinchūriki.
"But it is precisely because of this that I cannot get close to the main force. After all, if something goes wrong with me, once Ifu loses control, it will first attack our own people. Therefore, the position of marshal commanding the main force cannot be me. As for who will take this position, it is the old rule."
Touichiro once again showed that familiar smile and placed one hand on the table, rubbing it.
"Secret auction, one chance to bid, the highest bidder wins, um, I only want cash."
"Sure enough."
Hearing this, Mizunotsuki Bing sighed slightly. In his heart, Touichiro was a fairly qualified Kage. Although he would do things like selling indulgences, those indulgences were not cheap. If some ninjas did something very serious and could not afford the indulgences, they would have their property confiscated and their entire clan exterminated by him. In a sense, during the years he was in power, the Land of Water and the Village of Kirigakure were relatively peaceful.
However, despite saying this, he still wrote a very high price and handed it over. The reason was very simple. He didn't want to let the command fall into the hands of others, such as the Kizuki clan. Perhaps it was the second generation Kizuki Huanyue who sucked all the luck of the Kizuki clan. The Kizuki clan now has no one to show off, but they are very good at corruption. Letting them command a large army would probably be no different from sending themselves to death.
"Kuraya, are you interested too?"
Sitting next to Mizunoe Hiyori is Karatachi Yagura, a person who is completely opposite to Takanashi Mitsuha. The reference here is his figure. He is almost twenty years old, but looks like a boy of eleven or twelve years old. The reason for this is probably related to his bloodline limit.
Just like him, he is obviously a man, but because of his ice escape, he is more beautiful than women. Every time he goes out of the village to perform a mission, he is inevitably harassed by men.
"Well, who doesn't want to climb up?"
"But where do you get the money?"
"Ha, it's not just him, Mitsuha Takanashi, who can find a good wife. So can I." Karuta Yagura smiled slightly.
"The youngest daughter of the Daimyo of the Land of Water liked me very much, so I became her son-in-law. That happened yesterday."
"Ah this."
"Let me see."
Touichiro rubbed his hands, looking a little funny, but no one in this room dared to laugh at him, because those who did this were buried in the Kirigakure Higashiyama Cemetery, and the whole family was buried there in an orderly manner. In short, as long as you let him make money, you will find that he is the kindest shadow in the world, otherwise, the bloodiest.
"Well, Karuju Yagura, three hundred million ryo! Congratulations, you will become the marshal of the Kirigakure army that will attack Konoha this time! You will have the power to command the Kirigakure army!"
"Deputy Marshal, Mizunotsuki Hibiki, 70 million taels! You have no authority to command, but you have the right to reasonably question the Marshal's orders and convene a parliament."
"So, does anyone have any questions?"
The ninjas all shook their heads. There was nothing much to say about this. Three hundred million taels, this kind of thing called free food is so delicious that only those who have eaten it know how delicious it is.
Of course, this is only the case for a shadow like Touichiro. If it were someone else, such as Sarutobi Hiruzen, or a ninja who dared to collude with the daimyo, he would probably be buried under the memorial the next day.
"dong dong dong~~"
"Enter!"
Outside the door, a Mist Ninja walked in, came to the edge of Touichiro's ear, and whispered a few words.
"sure?"
"Yes, he said he had evidence."
"There is a meeting going on here, so let him bring the evidence over for everyone to see."
"Yes!"
"Mr. Mizukage, what evidence?"
"Oh, the captured member of the Shimura clan gave me some information in the morning, and only a few hours later, he said he had collected some more information."
"So, I'm wondering if this is a conspiracy of Konoha. The ninja from the Shimura clan might also be involved."
"There may be a conspiracy, but it probably has nothing to do with the Shimura clan. Otherwise, is he so anxious to send us intelligence because he's afraid that we won't suspect him?"
At the side, a representative from another family couldn't help but speak.
"Okay, stop arguing and take a look at the intelligence first."
The Third Mizukage, Touichiro waved his hand, looked at the ninja from the Shimura clan who walked in, and spoke.
A huge ship is floating on the sea.
This is the image that the ninja from the Shimura clan projected using the ninja tools he carried with him.
The ship, or rather, a large piece of wooden 'land' was floating in the port and had not gone out to sea. Various buildings could be seen on the 'land', but the most eye-catching one was the giant tree in the middle.
Seeing this, the senior ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village no longer worried about why the Shimura clan was so efficient. Just kidding, anyone with enough brains can see this. It is estimated that at this moment, the intelligence transmission personnel of their Hidden Mist Village are also transmitting information to the Water Kingdom through various means. It is a pity that they, the Hidden Mist Village, do not have long-distance communication means.
There was once a summoning scroll in the hands of the Third Mizukage, which could summon spirits at an unlimited distance, but this secret technique was lost with the sudden death of the Second Mizukage.
"That's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki???"
Suddenly, the picture moved upwards.
On the top of the big tree, which seemed to be made up of countless tree roots entwined with each other, stood a girl, with red chakra all over her body. The shape of a fox could be vaguely seen, and nine tails behind her were fluttering in the wind.
However, there is nothing wrong with the tailed beast's outer coat. It is just that one can see that this coat is somewhat thin, and one can even see the person inside. This is enough to prove that at this stage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not yet grown to the point of completely controlling the Nine-Tails.
Of course, even so, no one dares to underestimate the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
After all, the Nine-Tails was very obedient in the hands of the Shodaime and Uchiha Madara, but in their hands, it was no different from a natural disaster.
"What is she doing?"
Watching the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki continuously radiating chakra and then being swallowed by the big tree under their feet, the Kirigakure ninjas couldn't help but feel curious.
However, soon they no longer had to be curious.
Because when the giant tree seemed to have swallowed enough Nine-Tails Chakra, countless roots drilled out from the body of the giant tree, radiating and aiming at the surroundings.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!!”
In an instant, dense chakra rays that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye gushed out from the roots of the giant tree and continued to cover the surrounding sea surface. The sea water was instantly blown into mist, and the mist in the sky even obscured the entire picture.
When the mist dissipated, an even more shocking scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
The entire sea surface was covered with wood escape techniques, and the densely packed roots woven a huge green carpet, the size of which was comparable to a small island.
"I see."
Just when everyone else was shocked by the scene, Mizunoe Bing suddenly spoke.
"What did you guess?"
On the side, Karuju Yagura asked curiously.
"Your 300 million ryo, most likely, will be used to give the chakra paper to Touichiro, and there will be no return."
Mizunoe Bing touched Karujutsu Yagura's head.
"Our Mizukage is famous for not returning the money he has received."
