Chapter 117 The Origin of the Blood Mist Village
The idea of forming an alliance to attack Konoha was mentioned decades ago.
However, this proposal was rejected on the spot.
As for the reason for the veto, it is also very simple.
That was when the Hokage of Konoha was Hashirama Senju.
And Uchiha Madara did not defect.
Attacking Konoha in that era was like an old man eating arsenic and you were tired of living.
The person who proposed this must have never seen Hashirama opening a big Buddha.
The four shadows together are not enough for the other party to take.
If the four major ninja villages had really done this back then, there would probably no longer be the title of the five major ninja villages today.
Everyone has to change their surname to Konoha.
And now...
A Konoha led by Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed much easier to deal with than in the first generation.
Although this kid from the Sarutobi family has some strength, he is still not as good as Hashirama.
At most, he is slightly better than his teacher.
If four shadows attack at the same time, the opponent will definitely not be a match.
The land of Konoha is fertile and rich.
The shadows from the other four hidden villages were filled with hatred at the thought that they could not own such rich land.
Ōnoki's proposal was very much in line with the Third Mizukage's wishes.
As for the Second-generation Mizukage who died at the hands of the Tsuchikage?
Sorry, I'm really not familiar with you.
Except for the Kirigakure clan, the other Kirigakure ninjas really don't take this matter to heart.
"Let's hold a high-level meeting to discuss this matter."
Although the proposal is very tempting, Ohnoki is not an easy person to deal with.
A detailed clause must be negotiated.
Therefore, the Sandaime Mizukage turned his gaze to the Master and spoke.
This concerns the future of the Hidden Mist Village, and now is not the time to argue.
Therefore, Master Yuan nodded and acquiesced to the other party's proposal.
Seeing the Master nod, the Mizukage called over an Anbu ninja and asked him to go and notify the village leaders to come for a meeting.
He totally ignored the fact that the night was getting darker.
Soon, the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village gathered in the conference room.
Looking around, none of the Kirigakure high-ranking officials gathered around the round table in the conference room were from the major ninja clans in the village.
This is also the reason why the Third Mizukage implemented the "Blood Mist Village" policy.
At the first Five Kage Summit that year, each of the first-generation Kages attended the meeting with their preferred successors as personal bodyguards.
Except for the Sandaime Mizukage, the other four people all took over the title of Nidaime Kage as they wished.
Only Hozuki Gengetsu, with the interference of the major ninja clans in the village, forced his way into the queue and became the second-generation Mizukage.
As the Mizukage recommended by the ninja clan, Hozuki Gengetsu naturally tilted the village's resources towards them.
During his reign, important positions in the village were controlled by the major ninja clans, civilian ninjas were suppressed and lost the opportunity for promotion.
Except for the Kaguya clan which was excluded due to their poor brains, the power of other clans expanded rapidly during that time.
The Third Mizukage, who knew very well that the village that the First Mizukage Byakuren was looking forward to was not the one before his eyes, was also anxious at the moment.
Like Hashirama, Byakuren hopes to build a Hidden Mist Village where there are no barriers between villagers and where the major ninja clans have eliminated their grudges.
But he was helpless as he was banished to an idle position by Gui Deng Huan Yue.
Just when he thought that the Hidden Mist Village was under the control of the big clans, Hozuki Huanyue suddenly died together with Wu.
Along with him died the elite ninjas from various major ninja clans.
They all died in the battle with the Iwa-nin.
Before the major ninja clans could react, the Sandaime Mizukage successfully regained the position of Mizukage through his lightning speed and strong strength.
This also means that the nightmare of all the major ninja clans has begun.
Only a dozen years after taking the throne, this Mizukage used extremely cruel means to turn the major ninja clans into ethnic minorities.
No one even remembers the surname of the Ice Release Clan. Only a few scattered descendants are left in the clan, hiding in various corners of the Water Kingdom under different names.
The Dark Release, Boiling Release, and Dissolving Release techniques are "actively" giving up one's surname and choosing to blend into the Hidden Mist Village.
The Kizuna clan gritted their teeth and held on, successfully making it to Konoha Village.
The only ones who had a good ending were the Kaguya clan.
It's not that the Sandaime Mizukage is merciful.
It's because he found that even if he ignored them, these psychopaths who only had fighting in their minds would kill themselves.
Facing so many high-level officials, the Sandaime Mizukage did not pass the letter around for everyone to circulate, but instead focused on telling them about Ōnoki's intention to form a four-village alliance.
After all, this matter is currently just the opinion of the Ōnoki family, and we have to send someone to verify the details in person.
Just when the Mizukage and the others were discussing whether or not they should participate in the so-called alliance mentioned by Ōnoki;
After completing the succession ceremony and receiving the blessings of the two major ninja villages, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Masakawa publicly announced the news that Takigakure and Iwagakure would form a military alliance.
And directly listed Konoha Village as an unpopular ninja village.
Order all Konoha ninjas within the territory of Takikuni to leave Takikuni within three days.
As for the conflict between the three parties that broke out outside the Takigakure Village, the leaders of several ninja villages tacitly kept silent about it.
After all, there was no legitimate reason for each of their villages to send out troops.
Regarding the fact that Takigakure Village became an ally of Iwagakure Village, Hiruzen's response was simply to strengthen the border defense of Takigakure Country.
In the Land of Hot Springs, the Cloud Ninjas had a small-scale conflict with the Hyuga clan ninjas led by Hyuga Shimizu.
After each of them left behind a few corpses, Hiruzen took the initiative to retreat, tacitly agreeing to the Hidden Cloud Village's forces to enter the Land of Hot Springs again.
Although Danzo was very dissatisfied with Hiruzen's several concessions, the most important thing at the moment was to find a suitable jinchūriki for the Seven-Tails.
So I had to give up.
"Master Danzo, this is the list of casualties in this operation..."
Akimichi Saburo, Hatake Sanyo, Hyuga Toyota...
Looking at the fourteen names on the list, it was impossible to say that Danzo was not touched.
Most of these people were recruited when the Root was first established, and they were the elite who had followed us since they were children.
In addition to these fourteen people, several senior ninjas that he mobilized from the village also died in this operation.
It can be said that the value of a mere Seven-Tails cannot be compared with that of the fallen ninjas.
"I see. How's the investigation into the spy going?"
Looking at Danzo, who had never smiled since returning to the village, the Root Ninja in front of him answered very carefully.
"We are investigating and have made some progress. We will give you a satisfactory answer soon."

PS: I feel like the Living Hashirama is more fun than the Vegetative Man. I originally wanted to learn some techniques from the World's First Hashirama, but as I played, I found that I liked playing the Living Hashirama more, and the tiger skin feels good too. I'm not used to playing the Ninja War Obito, so I'll practice more. But the most fun character is still the Impure World Madara.
