Kirigakure.
In the conference room on the top floor of the Mizukage building.
Almost the entire Kirigakure leadership was present, including the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei and the Grand Elder.
The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely heavy and subdued.
"This day has come after all.»
Grand Elder Kirigakure said with an undisguised tremor in his voice.
Yesterday they received information that after several years of calm, Konoha again made a decisive step.
Konoha's forces, led by Kakashi's Sharingan, invaded the Land of Earth.
After the negotiations failed, Kakashi decisively led Konoha's forces directly to Iwagakure and completely crushed the Great Village.
Now Iwagakure, one of the three remaining Great Villages, is also history.
Now only Konoha and Kiri are left.
Although the Land of Water is separated from the Land of Fire by the sea, but now almost every Shinobi Kiri felt a huge oppression coming from Konoha.
In fact, everyone already understood that the unification of the Shinobi world could not be prevented.
The world of Shinobi, which has been in a split state for hundreds of years, will definitely become one.
Five great villages and five great countries will become history.
The only question is when exactly it will happen.
Judging by the current situation, Konoha will have to use a significant portion of the forces to take control of the Land Country, so they shouldn't start acting against Kirigakure and the Water Country any time soon.
But it won't last long.
In the next two or three years, Konoha will definitely reach out to Kirigakura, and they won't be able to resist.
You can say that they are now like a person who is about to drown, Konoha just need to push a little and they will finally drown.
"Mizukage, what are your thoughts?..»
Grand Elder Kirigakure looked at Terumi Mei and said in a heavy voice, he is already very old, and his face is covered with many deep wrinkles.
Mae looked around the conference room and sighed heavily.
At this moment, she remembered Yeruashi's words that the unification of the Shinobi world was inevitable, then she could not fully believe it, but now this moment has really come.
In fact, right now, Mae thought that she was willing to be conquered by such a man, there were no thoughts of resistance in her head anymore...
"We can't stand up to Konoha.»
Mae said calmly.
Hearing these words, the Shinobi present clenched their fists tightly and gnashed their teeth, and Choujuro's eyes, standing behind Mei, were inflexible and unwilling.
Someone said with undisguised anger, " We are separated from the Land of Fire! If we use the sea as a line of defense, it won't be easy for Konoha to invade the Land of Water!»
Everyone else was silent.
Those present were well aware that this was only a self-deception of a person trying to maintain pride and not bow his head to the last.
Would you rather use your head as a line of defense?!
The current Konoha is too strong.
Kirigakure cannot resist the power of the Fifth Hokage Hatake Yeruashi, who stands at the absolute top of the Shinobi world.
The terrifying battle of the Fifth Hokage and Uchiha Obito in Kirigakura left a deep mark in the hearts of many Shinobi Kiri, they still can not forget and quite often remember the scenes of that battle.
Even without the Fifth Hokage.
Konoha now has Kakashi's Sharingan, Shunshin no Shisui, the Perfect Jinchuriki Sanbi and Nanabi, Yami no Anko, the Genius Uchiha Itachi, Konoha's Green Beast Maito Guy, and the Angel Conan...
Each of these shinobi is at least as good as their Seven Mist Swordsmen from the past, especially Kakashi's Sharingan.
The power of the younger brother of the Fifth Hokage has repeatedly shocked the entire Shinobi world in recent years.
Besides.
The Seven Swords of the Mist are now in Konoha's hands...in addition, they also have all nine Biju.
Thinking about all these forces, it is impossible not to feel despair.
"We cannot prevent the unification of the Shinobi world, it is inevitable. Konoha is too strong, so in the current situation, instead of meaningless resistance, it is much more profitable to take a step forward first.»
Mei said firmly, " In a few days, I will personally go to Konoha to discuss the Kirigakura issue, so that not only will we not suffer senseless losses, but we may be able to gain some benefits.»
"But...»
Ao, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fists.
Mei just recently became the Fifth Mizukage, but now she has to go to Konoha to give up and become the last Mizukage Kirigakure?!
The Jounin present clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth at the thought of their Mizukage having to shoulder such a burden at such a young age.
"I'll go.»
Ao looked at Mei: "Lady Mizukage, you must stay in Kirigakura, let me handle this matter.»
Mei looked at Ao and shook her head, " No, only Mizukage can take on such a matter.»
Ao stood up and resolutely exclaimed, " Let me take on this disgrace! Lady Mizukage, you are still too young to be responsible for the destruction of your village!!»
Choujuro ground his teeth and exclaimed, " Lady Mizukage...if necessary, we are ready to fight with Konoha!»
May: "...»
She had a strong urge to throw the two of them out of the conference room immediately.
But just as Mei frowned and was about to say something, a powerful chakra suddenly flashed in the sky and shot in the direction of the conference room.
Boom!!!
In the next instant, the entire conference room exploded.
In the midst of the rising clouds of dust.
Choujuro and Ao abruptly jumped up, starting to look around warily.
Did Konoha attack them?!
But after moving away from the confusion and shock, they immediately realized that they were wrong, because the person who had just attacked the conference room was calmly floating in the sky and he did not look like a Konoha Shinobi!
"Ah, so many strong chakras in one place.»
Urashiki, who was gently floating in the sky, put the red fishing rod on his shoulder and looked at the shinobi running out of the ruined conference hall with a grin: "Before restoring the Chakra Fruit, you should first try a little 'dessert' and at the same time collect information...»
"Who are you?!»
Mei stared intently at Urashiki, who was floating in the sky.
She immediately, on the level of instinct, sensed the deadly danger.
A terrifying fluctuation of chakra emanated from this person!
"Heh-heh-heh...do you want to know my name?»
Urashiki grinned and suddenly waved his fishing rod.
Phew!
The red line shot through the air and entered the chest of Choujuro, who was standing behind Mei.
"Choujuro!»
Ao, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in concern, without hesitation activated the Byakugan and looked at Urashiki, but when he looked at his eyes, Ao shuddered violently, feeling an overwhelming oppression at the level of the Dojutsu.
Urashiki yanked on the fishing rod and removed the bundle of chakra that had been plucked from Choujuro's body from the end of the red line, then looked at Ao with undisguised curiosity: "Byakugan?»
"But you don't have a bloodline...is it stolen?»
Sensing that Choujuro's chakra fluctuations were weakening, Mei quickly folded a series of seals and exclaimed loudly, feeling very angry.
"Yoton! Mysterious Melting Technique!»
"Are you angry?»
Urashiki smiled mockingly and abruptly flew up, easily dodging the attack, "I just wanted to ask you something...»
After playing a little with the Shinobi Kirigakure, Urashiki managed to get a lot of information that interested him.
Urashiki learned that a few years ago, someone managed to collect the chakra of all the Biju and resurrect Jubi, but he was eventually defeated by one person, and all the Biju are now concentrated in Konoha.
Now this person is considered the strongest in the world.
His name is Hatake Yeruashi!
"In that case, I'll just absorb his chakra, gather all the Biju, and re-plant the Shinju Tree.»
Urashiki said thoughtfully.
Mei, who had already spent more than half of her chakra, sighed heavily and said coldly: "Although I do not know where you came from, but just with this power, you will never defeat him!»
Urashiki looked at Mei mockingly and said, " Ah, how terrible...»
Just as Urashiki was about to end this boring battle and quickly absorb the chakra, he suddenly froze and looked sharply in a certain direction.
In the air, a few dozen meters away from Urashiki, a black spatial passageway formed and a human figure emerged from it.
This person was shrouded in a dense blanket of golden light with a Six-Way pattern, and his eyes gave off a deep sky-blue radiance, forming a clear, bizarre pattern.
It was the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Yeruashi!
He went straight to Kirigakure, immediately after receiving the news from the Sage of the Six Paths.
"Emotsu Hirasaka?»
"Such a chakra...»
Urashiki narrowed his eyes at the man who appeared: "You inherited the traitor's power, didn't you?..Hatake Yeruashi?»
This is very similar to the chakra fluctuations of an Ootsutsuki Clan member!
This person is on a completely different level, compared to Mei and the rest of the Shinobi Kiri!
"Just one?»
Yeruashi, who was floating in the sky, looked at Urashiki indifferently, and squeezed the empty air with his palm.
With a flash of black and white light, the Reincarnation Sword quickly formed within her.
