After the Fourth Mizukage delivered an impassioned speech.
The Mist Village immediately carried out post-disaster sorting in an orderly rhythm.
When middle and low-level ninjas were busy counting casualties and losses.
The high-level officials of the Mist Village had gathered in the Mizukage's office.
In the messy Mizukage's office, which had obviously gone through a fight.
The Fourth Mizukage Yagura sat on a deliberately heightened chair, looking solemnly at the people in front of him.
The First Generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Terumi Mei.
And Genji, who was far from being as old as more than ten years later and could barely open his eyes.
And several other high-level officials of the Mist Village.
Elder Genji, who personally experienced the late Warring States Period and witnessed the growth from the First Mizukage to the current Fourth Mizukage.
He opened his mouth with few teeth left and said prudently:
"Fourth, this matter is full of doubts. In my opinion, we should investigate clearly before making a decision?"
Terumi Mei immediately echoed:
"Lord Mizukage, I also think so."
"This matter is strange from beginning to end. Our Mist Village didn't provoke Konoha. Why would Konoha send people from the Uchiha clan to attack for no reason?"
"Moreover, if they really wanted to attack, Konoha should have arranged for a large army to follow closely to attack our village."
"But only one person attacked our village. This is too strange."
Ao, who was only in his twenties and hadn't installed the Byakugan yet, also hesitated:
"Lord Yagura, I think so too."
Rasa, disguised as an Anbu and hiding in the dark, sneered in his heart looking at the three people who spoke against it.
At the same time, Yagura's brows were already wrinkled into a "川" shape, seeming extremely angry.
Seeing this expression on the Fourth Mizukage, everyone's heart instantly became nervous.
The Mist Village was different from Konoha.
Although the Mist Village had an elder system.
Elders could also have power similar to the Mizukage in some special circumstances.
But under normal circumstances, the authority of the Mizukage was supreme.
In the original work, during the more than ten years when the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by Obito, countless Kekkei Genkai families were slaughtered.
Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai were eliminated without exception.
And also created a cruel Ninja Academy graduation system.
Under various brain-dead operations made by the Fourth Mizukage controlled by Obito.
The Mist Village continued to weaken like an adult constantly bleeding.
But in this situation, the Fourth Mizukage could actually serve as the Mizukage steadily for more than ten years.
Until later, Ao used the Byakugan and inadvertently discovered that he was under genjutsu, and only then was he overthrown.
This showed how deep the obedience and authority worship of Mist ninjas were.
Yagura's tightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed.
A calm smile appeared on his tender face, scanning the faces of the people in the room unhurriedly.
Ninjas swept by Yagura's gaze lowered their heads slightly to show obedience without exception.
Even the incomparably arrogant First Generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were all like this.
Terumi Mei looked nervously at the ninjas bowing their heads in obedience one by one beside her.
A few seconds later, she suddenly found a gentle gaze watching her.
Terumi Mei's heart immediately became nervous. Feeling her heart beating due to nervousness, she bravely straightened her back and looked directly at the Fourth Mizukage.
A firm expression appeared on Terumi Mei's charming face:
"Lord Mizukage, I still stick to my idea."
"I am not afraid of death or sacrifice. If this matter is really done by Konoha, I will definitely lead the charge."
"But this matter is strange. I'm afraid someone with intentions is sowing discord to reap the benefits!"
After saying these few sentences, Terumi Mei lowered her head immediately, but her white jade-like hands clenched unconsciously.
Terumi Mei was only fifteen years old now. Although she became a Jonin early because of her extraordinary talent.
But having received various obedience education and being taught to obey the Mizukage unconditionally since childhood...
For her to say these few sentences was already great courage.
Terumi Mei lowered her head nervously, but the surroundings were always quiet.
This quiet environment made her heart even more nervous, as if accepting a silent trial.
Suddenly, Terumi Mei saw a pair of small shoes appearing in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, the Fourth Mizukage's voice, still carrying a childish tone, sounded in front of her.
"What you said is indeed true. I will ask Lord Daimyo to issue a notice to the Land of Fire, asking them to give us a reasonable explanation."
"But if they refuse to admit it, then we will declare war immediately."
Terumi Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said softly immediately:
"Subordinate obeys!"
For Terumi Mei, as long as war was not declared immediately and there was time for Konoha to explain, that would be fine.
If Konoha really denied it at that time, declaring war would be fine.
Although it sounded domineering and unreasonable, the world of ninjas was like this.
If admitted something, compensation must be made.
If denied?
Then just fight directly; there was nothing to discuss.
The five major ninja villages were essentially just large mercenary organizations with ultra-stable regimes.
As long as they wanted to fight, any reason would do.
Soon everyone retreated one after another.
At the same time.
A ninja with a letter in his bosom quickly left the village and ran toward the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Water.
The Fourth Mizukage looked at the office which was empty on the surface.
He shook his head slightly, his tone lukewarm:
"Spread the news that the Konoha Uchiha clan attacked our village."
As soon as the words fell, several black shadows flashed past in the room.
"Konoha is very strong now. The Sannin are still in the village ready for orders at any time."
"The top combat power of the Mist Village is not enough. It seems that the Three-Tails must be sealed in your body in advance."
A ninja dressed as an Anbu walked out of the shadows of the office, saying softly as he walked.
Yagura frowned slightly, his tone full of confidence:
"No need? As long as it is a head-on confrontation, with my Water Mirror Technique, I can..."
Before Yagura finished speaking, Rasa interrupted:
"What about Chakra?"
"Using the Water Mirror Technique consumes huge Chakra. Even if you can copy all the enemy's ninjutsu, the clone still uses your own Chakra."
"If you encounter a few monsters with Chakra comparable to Tailed Beasts, can you outlast others?"
Yagura frowned even tighter, and finally nodded.
"Okay, I will issue an order later to send Mist ninjas to find the traces of the Three-Tails."
The genjutsu Yagura fell into only made him obey Rasa completely.
But his own reason and judgment had not been lost.
This was the most terrifying part of the genjutsu.
Let the victim maintain clear rational judgment, being under genjutsu without knowing it.
Rasa nodded with satisfaction. He took out a silver-white dagger and put it on the desk.
Yagura took the dagger and looked at it with interest.
"Inject Chakra here every morning and evening, and you will come over, right?"
Yagura finished saying this, looked up, but found that the person was gone.
He shook his head helplessly, put the dagger into his bosom, and began to process the brand-new documents.
Rasa strolled in the Mist Village.
He walked while listening to the voice coming from his mind.
"Successfully controlled the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, completely changed the future of the Mist Village, significantly changed the original plot. Reward: 6000 Skill Points!"
Although the skill points were less than Rasa imagined.
But Rasa felt indifferent.
Anyway, holding two major ninja villages in hand, whatever he did would be much easier.
Thinking this, Rasa had walked to a very simple house.
This house was located in a remote corner of the village, obviously with no one passing by here.
Even if there was such a big mess in the Mist Village at this time, it was still as quiet as a paradise here.
Rasa knocked on the door gently.
"Who?"
Within a few breaths, a young woman's voice came from the house.
This woman's voice was low and magnetic, but her footsteps were a bit unstable.
And the coughing sound coming from time to time could be clearly heard.
Seemed to be a sick patient.
The door was opened gently, and instantly a strong smell of medicine came from the house.
With the continuous smell of medicine, a woman with a unique style also appeared in front of Rasa.
The woman who opened the door had reddish-brown long hair, braids erected high on both sides of her head, white bandages wrapped around her neck, and a pale face.
The woman looked at Rasa vigilantly. Suddenly she turned sideways, covered her mouth, and let out a suppressed cough.
But because of suppressing the cough, the body's instinct to cough became stronger.
Making her unable to help but cough loudly.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
After coughing strenuously for a few times.
The woman took out a clean white towel from her bosom and wiped the blood coughed out from the corner of her mouth.
Then she turned to look at Rasa again, her eyes not as vigilant as before.
The woman knew very well that if this Mist ninja really had bad intentions.
Then in the few seconds when she coughed violently just now, he could completely sneak attack her.
Rasa looked down at the woman in front of him who looked pale, had dim eyes, and withered like a frosted eggplant.
This woman with a unique hairstyle and coughing constantly.
Was Ameyuri Ringo, one of the future Second Generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the second user of the Lightning Blade: Kiba!
However, Ameyuri Ringo at this time was far from the domineering appearance when she appeared in the original work.
Instead, she carried a sick fragility, short of breath, and unsteady steps.
In the timeline of the original work.
The woman in front of him died young due to terminal illness a few years after becoming the user of the Lightning Blade: Kiba.
It seemed that she reincarnated by Edo Tensei more than ten years later was probably her true prime.
Rasa said calmly:
"Jonin Ameyuri Ringo, the Fourth Mizukage has a mission for you."
Hearing this, Ameyuri Ringo's eyes burst with fanatical brilliance.
The originally weak-looking melon seed face involuntarily showed an arrogant smile.
Those fine overlapping sharp teeth were revealed without obstruction.
Ameyuri Ringo completely changed her previous weak performance and asked excitedly repeatedly:
"What mission?"
"Heard that the village was attacked by Uchiha people just now?"
"It's a pity that I was sleeping before. When I heard the news, it was already over."
"Is it for me to pursue the Uchiha people? Although it is very dangerous, just thinking about it makes me feel very excited!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Rasa's calm face.
"No need to pretend. When did you find out?"
"I have no killing intent toward you, and the clothes and forehead protector on my body are all real. How on earth did you find out?"
The smile on Ameyuri Ringo's face disappeared suddenly, replaced by a deep look.
As if the excited her before didn't exist at all.
Since she had been discovered by the man in front of her that she discovered his identity.
Then there was no need to pretend.
As for trying to resist?
She was now in the period of illness attack. Her seal forming speed and body reaction ability were several times slower than usual.
In this state, any elite Jonin could subdue her.
Let alone the man in front of her who could summon Susanoo.
"Cough cough, the moment you said the mission sentence, I felt it by instinct."
After saying this, Ameyuri Ringo kept her mouth shut, just looking quietly at the man in front of her.
Her face had both relief and unwillingness.
Rasa nodded knowingly.
As expected of Ameyuri Ringo who once swept all enemies on her battlefield.
This kind of intuition possessed by the strong was indeed unreasonable.
"If I say, I have medicine that can completely cure the disease on your body, allowing you to recover to your prime without any sequelae. What do you think?"
Ameyuri Ringo's pupils shrank suddenly, but soon returned to normal. At the same time, a trace of ridicule flashed across the corner of her mouth.
"Cough cough! If cough! there is really such a magical medicine, cough, I, Ameyuri Ringo, will regard you as master from now on!"
Ameyuri Ringo didn't believe the man's words at all.
She said so just to mock the man in front of her.
Of course, maybe deep in her heart, she also held a little imperceptible hope.
She had this strange disease since birth, and it got worse year by year.
After becoming a ninja, Ameyuri Ringo naturally sought many medical ninjas.
But without exception, all she got were shaking heads and regretful eyes.
By now, Ameyuri Ringo, who had become a Jonin.
Had visited all famous medical ninjas and ordinary doctors in the Land of Water.
The result was just one disappointment after another.
The smile on Rasa's face became brighter. He took out a palm-sized medicine bottle from his bosom.
What specific disease Ameyuri Ringo had.
The original work didn't explain.
But Rasa judged based on the experiences of other ninjas with the same situation.
This should be a Kekkei Genkai disease.
Although Rasa didn't know the principle of this disease.
But with the omnipotent system, there was no problem.
This panacea exchanged from the system, as the name suggested, cured all diseases.
Ameyuri Ringo stared at the medicine bottle with glowing eyes. Her long-dead heart suddenly burst with a ray of light again.
Although she was still half-believing and half-doubting in her heart.
Ameyuri Ringo reached out her hands somewhat tremblingly and took the medicine bottle.
Anyway, if it was fake, it didn't matter.
Nothing more than another disappointment.
But if it was true.
Then she could recover to her prime from now on, without having to pick the time when her body was good to go on missions every time.
Ameyuri Ringo opened the medicine bottle and poured out a round white pill the size of a ring finger.
Instantly, a pill fragrance spread.
Smelling this pill fragrance, Ameyuri Ringo's half-believing and half-doubting heart immediately turned into 70% belief and 30% doubt.
After swallowing the pill in one gulp, Ameyuri Ringo's complexion improved visibly to the naked eye immediately.
The originally pale face became rosy and lustrous, and her eyes changed from dim to aggressive.
Ameyuri Ringo felt the heart beating strongly and the abundant strength constantly emerging from her whole body.
A confident smile appeared on her face.
Rasa looked at Ameyuri Ringo exuding confidence all over.
A gratified smile hung on his face.
This was the madman Ameyuri Ringo who swept a battlefield and was full of confidence.
Ameyuri Ringo suddenly looked up at Rasa, then she knelt on both knees resolutely and said:
"Master!"
Having said those words before, even if most of the reason was just ridicule.
Ameyuri Ringo still firmly kept her word.
The man in front of her didn't lie, so she would regard him as master; this was enough.
As for whether he was from the Uchiha clan, or whether she betrayed the village by following him...
She didn't need to consider. Just become the sword in his hand and hit wherever he pointed.
The feeling of waking up every day and clearly feeling her body weaker than the previous day.
Ameyuri Ringo didn't want to experience it again even if she died.
Rasa helped her up with both hands and said softly:
"Pack up the things you need to pack. Let's go."
Ameyuri Ringo blinked and said excitedly:
"Master, are we going to defect from the village?"
"What are you saying? I didn't lie. The Fourth Mizukage indeed has a long-term mission for you."
Ameyuri Ringo was obviously stunned for a while, then a smile appeared on her face again.
The mission was real.
Plus the man in front of her could summon Susanoo and was from the Uchiha clan.
Didn't that mean the Fourth Mizukage...
Thinking this, a trace of regret suddenly flashed in Ameyuri Ringo's heart.
She originally thought she could be a missing-nin and fight openly with the special assassination squad in the village.
Walking on the line of life and death every day must be very exciting.
Unexpectedly, it was just going out openly to execute a long-term mission.
