Chapter 372
"Anyway, there is still a year left, which is plenty for the time being. I plan to recall Mr. Dan and Mr. Tsunade first, announce all the known information to the core members of the village, and then allocate the next steps. Task."
Mirror said this.
……
……
Kato Dan and Tsunade did not return to Konoha immediately.
Because of Madara and others on Mingjing's side, Sunagakure's resistance was quickly disintegrated - let alone Sunagakure, I don't know if the Kingdom of Wind can continue to exist after this.
The conditions of Kirigakure are obviously much better than those of Sunagakure.
However, in the face of absolute strength, they are still at a disadvantage.
When Ming Jing arrived, the coalition of more than 20,000 ninjas composed of Konoha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure had already broken through the defense line established by Kirigakure Village and broke into Kirigakure itself.
Despite the local geographical advantage, the number of the Three Kingdoms ninja coalition was about twice that of the Kirigakure ninjas, and Kirigakure's high-end combat power was only the Fourth Mizukage, so they were crushed by the Three Kingdoms coalition in all directions.
However, because of the backbone of the Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure's resistance will be much stronger than that of Sunagakure.
When Sunagakure was defeated, Kirigakure dispersed but did not collapse. A large part of the elite fighting force was organized by the fourth generation Mizukage Goju Yagura. They relied on the ninja's latent ability and maneuverability and took advantage of the home field advantage to fight. A guerrilla started.
Ming Jing personally took action and spent a day, using his ultra-wide range of perception capabilities and ultra-fast speed, to find the location of Goju Yagura within one day.
However, after meeting the Fourth Mizukage, Ming Jing realized that he might die in a few days without even taking action himself.
"Uchiha Mirror...I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly. Does it seem like Madara was defeated by you?"
The pale Yagura refused the help from his men. Holding the iron rod engraved with coral flowers, he stood in front of Ming Jing and straightened the Mizukage hat.
"Didn't you fight against Tsunade-sensei two days ago? Did Tsunade-sensei beat you like this?"
Ming Jing looked at the weak Yagura in front of him and said.
"Ahem...Tsunade is indeed very strong. She can defeat me, but she won't beat me like this. I suddenly became like this one day ago."
Yagura sighed.
"Many years ago, Uchiha Madara used genjutsu to control my consciousness. This was a huge loss to my mind."
"Originally, every once in a while, Madara would use a specific technique to maintain the duration of the illusion with his pupil power. Originally, I could persist for a while, but just yesterday, Madara and my pupil power were disconnected, and I broke free. He had control, but he also ended up like this.”
The mirror descended from the sky to the ground and scanned the surrounding area for a week.
Dozens of Kirigakure ninjas had already noticed the movement and surrounded the place.
"So? Now that Madara is gone, what are you going to do?"
Ming Jing didn't pay attention to the guarding movements of these Kirigakure ninjas.
After all, even if these people were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to take one of his moves.
"I have less than a month left to live. There is no point in resisting anymore, not to mention that I have no ability to resist at all."
Yagura's bloodless face showed a bit of a wry smile, turned around, walked into the room behind him, and walked out with a Mizukage hat.
"I can abdicate the position of Mizukage and officially hand over the position of Kage to Terumi Mei, so that she can legitimately become Mizukage. The entire Kirigakure Village ninja can also be handed over to her to manage."
"Oh? Then what do you want from me in exchange for doing this?"
Ming Jing raised his hand and used Wooden Escape to create a chair. He sat on it with his legs crossed and said with a relaxed expression.
"No conditions."
Yagura shook his head towards Ming Jing very simply.
"Oh?"
Ming Jing was a little surprised.
"Because this is the best way to protect Kirigakure Village."
Yagura revealed the reason.
Of course, there was another reason he didn't say.
That is, in front of Konoha, Kirigakure is not qualified to raise conditions.
But it's better not to say this.
"That's okay, but you don't put up conditions, but I have to put up conditions."
Ming Jing raised a finger at Yagura.
"Please tell me."
"First, all future diplomatic and military strategies of Kirigakure must be consistent with Konoha."
Mirror then raised a second finger.
"Second, in terms of economy and education, the Water Kingdom must also accept the policy planning from Konoha. Don't worry, we will not make your economy a mess."
"Third, I haven't thought about it yet, but it doesn't stop me from asking you to agree. But you can still rest assured that it won't be a request to dig up your roots, such as asking the ninjas in Kirigakure Village to disband. After all, we will also I need your help to rule the Kingdom of Water stably."
"Can you agree to these three conditions?"
Ming Jing stood up, looked down at Yagura, who was only meters tall, and said.
"I will make them promise. In three days, the Godaime Mizukage can come and take over Kirigakure Village."
Yagura coughed twice more, with a trace of flushing on his face, and said to the mirror.
"Is that so? I understand."
Ming Jing took a deep look at Yagura.
This guy probably wants to eliminate some unstable factors within Kirigakure, and make final arrangements in this last period of time to ensure that Kirigakure Village can continue better, and to set up a system that can preserve Kirigakure. The fire inherited from the Hidden Village will be activated once Kirigakure is truly destroyed.
Yagura only has one month left to live, so it would not be surprising no matter how extreme his actions are. Similarly, with only one month, the only things he can do are those that can be accomplished in the short term, and other things are not so easy to do.
However, for Ming Jing, this is actually a weakening of Kirigakure Village, and it will also help him control the Kingdom of Water in the future, so he will naturally not refuse.
"Three days later, the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Kai and the assistants sent by Konoha arrived at the old site of Kirigakure and rebuilt Kirigakure there. Within three days, as long as Kirigakure did not provoke a dispute, Konoha and Iwagakure and Kumogakure will not take the initiative, I hope you will not let me down."
Ming Jing walked up to Yagura, reached out and patted the latter's shoulder, and then stepped into the teleportation aperture in front of him.
Yagura turned his head away, looked at the teleportation aperture that disappeared in front of him, reached out to cover the mark of the Flying Thunder God on his shoulder with the shadow robe behind his back, and then faced everyone.
"Calling all members, I have something important to announce!"
……
……
When Ming Jing crossed the portal, he had already returned to Konoha.
In the conference room of the Hokage Building, all core members of Konoha have gathered.
The top position was empty, and it was reserved for Ming Jing, the Hokage, waiting for him to preside over the meeting.
The second seats on the left and right are Kato Dan and Akimichi Tofu. One of them is the former Hokage, and the other is the most senior senior executive in Konoha.
Previously, Akimichi's seat was occupied by the third generation, but in the previous battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen used the Ghoul Seal to seal the first generation of the dirty earth, so it was Akimichi's turn to take the wind.
Among the former disciples of the Second Hokage, only Akimichi Tofuu is still alive.
However, this man in his sixties has also turned completely white and has entered a state of semi-retirement.
After that came Tsunade and Orochimaru, the two senior executives with more information, and then Uchiha Fugaku and Jiraiya, who sat facing each other - Namikaze Minato took the initiative to sit behind his teacher, and Kyu Shinai sat together, opposite Uchiha Shisui.
After opening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui's status in Konoha has risen to the number one among the younger generation of ninjas, and his importance in the village is no less than that of the senior officials before him.
These ten plus Tobirama, who is sitting at the door opposite the mirror, are the eleven people with the most weight in Konoha today. Even Jiraiya, who seems to have the lightest weight, still has a good status. The two friends and apprentices who are both Sannin are now high-level officials in Konoha, and their weight is definitely not small. It's just that this one usually doesn't pay attention to these things, and is only willing to do what he thinks he is suitable for.
Further down are the core members who hold important positions in Konoha, such as Yamanaka Kaiichi, Nara Shikaku, Aburame Nami, Inuzuka Rui, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Mitarai Shixia, etc., as well as Kaka. Nishi, Sarutobi Asuma, Aburame Shiguro and other important combat forces.
In addition to the ninja clan leaders such as Hinata Hizashi, Aburame Shimi, Inuzuka Mastiff, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Kagami, the reincarnations of the dirty land, there are about thirty people in total.
As long as you command these people well, it will be enough to perfectly mobilize most of Konoha's power.
"Sorry for the long wait. There were some unexpected things happening on the Fourth Mizukage's side, so it was delayed for a little while. I'll put this matter at the end of the meeting. I'll hand it over to Minato and Shika. Jiu is fully responsible for this matter.”
Ming Jing walked to his seat and said something, then sat down and said:
"Yesterday, before I set off for the Kingdom of Water, I compiled the information I knew and recited it to some of the members here. You should all know the details now, right?"
"I know, I know, but it just feels a little too unbelievable. Our Uchiha ancestors are actually aliens, and the Six Paths Sage is actually born from aliens. And the cause of all this is because of a living thing. A thousand-year-old black strange species, this is really..."
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, not knowing how to describe it in words.
"I also find it incredible, but since the opponent is an alien, this means that it may be difficult to obtain information related to the opponent through conventional means."
Qiudao Qifeng touched his belly and said.
I'm hungry and want to eat, but unfortunately Tobirama is here right now. Even if he is a senior executive, he doesn't dare to take out the potato chips in his pocket at this meeting.
"Not necessarily. Since this person has been living in the ninja world for thousands of years, there will definitely be relevant clues revealed."
Tsunade deduced with a thoughtful look on her face.
"But in the past such a long time, we have not discovered such an existence. His actions in the past must have been very few. It is not easy to find relevant information. Moreover, after thousands of years of planning, it is said that There is also a powerful force hidden deep beneath the hand."
Namikaze Minato took up the topic and said.
"This is a direction. You can write it down, and then arrange for ninjas from the Anbu and Roots to explore the information. The intelligence analysis team will also need to re-examine various files in the village. Each major ninja family also needs to screen the historical materials within their own clan. , to see if there is any relevant information.”
Speaking of this, Ming Jing noticed a slight change in Hinata Hizu's demeanor. His lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, and finally stood up.
"Lord Godaime, there may be some records within the Hyuga clan that can be used. I will send them over with Hizashi after the meeting."
After Hinata Hizu finished speaking, he sat back at Ming Jing's signal.
"Okay, Shikaku, do you have anything to add?"
Ming Jing again noticed Nara Shikaku's thoughtful expression.
"No, Godai-sama, I was just wondering why in the past thousand years, that Otsutsuki Ishiki had no record of any action."
"What do you think?"
"What is known is that the opponent is very strong. In the past history, even if he was in a very weak state, he should have the crushing strength to solve the crisis encountered. In other words, everyone who has seen him take action Everyone is dead."
"Secondly, the number of shots must be very few, which means there are two possibilities. One is that he is too weak and using too much power will have an irreversible impact on him, and the other possibility is much smaller. , that is, there may be people or things that he is afraid of in the ninja world. Although the possibility is very small, it is still a way to find a way to defeat Otsutsuki Ishiki. "
Nara Shikaku concluded.
Ming Jing nodded repeatedly.
Smart people are smart people after all.
The wedges of the Otsutsuki clan have strict restrictions on the conditions of use, and must have high enough compatibility with them, otherwise their lifespan will be affected once they are resurrected.
The adaptability of Ban and Ishiki may not have been high originally, but as Madara became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, his appearance and bloodline also changed into Otsutsuki, allowing him to better carry the wedge of Ishiki.
As for the other one, Ming Jing estimated that Yishi was probably also aware of the existence of Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, and was wary of the strength of these two sixth-level figures.
Both are strong men at the Sixth Path level, and Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura have half of Otsutsuki's blood. It's hard to say whether these two people are connected, but they must have similar means to survive until now. In the original time and space, It’s not like the souls of these two people have never appeared before.
The power of Yin and Yang given by the Sage of the Six Paths created two strong men of the Six Paths level, and the soul of Hamura Otsutsuki also appeared on the moon.
Even if they are not pure Otsutsuki, these two are not necessarily worse than those Otsutsuki, and they may not be able to use wedge-like methods.
"In addition, Akatsuki's Scorpion and Uchiha Hikaru have been captured alive by us..."
