Chapter 388 Defection
Indeed, for Konoha at the moment, tailed beasts are not a threat. What's more, if the plan goes well, Kirigakure and Konoha will help each other in the future. In this way, Kirigakure's possession of the three tails will not be a problem.
.
"That's true." After hearing Hanzo's words, Genji nodded.
…
Kirigakure could no longer feel the relaxed atmosphere of Konoha and his group.
Or to be precise, it should be that Minazuki Arashi and Mikigaki Asaichi were in extremely bad moods at this time.
Both men suffered serious injuries in the afternoon battle.
However, after the battle, Hanzo used medical ninjutsu to help the two of them treat their injuries. General Yamamoto also arranged for the best doctor in the Iron Kingdom to bandage the two of them. At this time, the two of them looked a little embarrassed.
It's not a big deal.
"Mizukage-sama, what about Shimada Motohisa..." The two of them sat opposite each other, and after a long silence, it was Mikigaki Chaoichi who hesitated to ask.
After hearing this, Mizuna Yuelan glanced at him and whispered: "Now that things have happened, what is there to say? When this matter spreads to the village, no one can stop him from taking the position."
Gan Shichao became anxious upon hearing this: "Lord Mizukage, we have offended him many times before. Once he succeeds us as the second generation, how can you and I have a good life? What's more, don't forget,
He is also a ninja of the Shimada clan. If this continues, will Kirigakure still be the ninja of the Land of Water in the future?"
Maki Kaoichi's tone was impassioned, but Minazuki Lan's expression remained unchanged. He just said calmly: "Everyone knows what you said, but do you have any idea now?"
"..."
Ganshi Chaoyi didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, it was his lack of strength. Opportunities were handed to him, but he failed to seize them. Otherwise, the two of them would not have ended up in this situation.
After a while, Gan Shichao gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Mizukage, why don't we try our best to block the news, and then..."
Before he finished speaking, Mizuna Yuelan suddenly interrupted him: "That's enough! Elder Chaoyi!"
Perhaps it was because Minazuki Arashi had never spoken to him in such a tone before, Gansaki Chaoichi was stunned for a moment.
However, Shui Wuyuelan stared at him coldly and said: "How can the news of the Five Shadows Conference be sealed? Elder Chaoyi, if you want to die, don't drag me, the Shuiwuyue clan."
"Mizukage Dai..."
"Okay, Elder Chaoyi." Shuiwu Yuelan stood up and said calmly: "Elder Chaoyi, I'm tired, you should rest early."
"..."
Mikigaki Chaoichi looked at Minazuki Arashi in disbelief.
However, the emotionless look in the other party's eyes told Mikiaki Chaoichi that he was serious.
"You will regret this."
In desperation, Gansaki Chaoichi could only say a harsh word and left Minazuki Lan's room with some reluctance.
"regret?"
Looking at the door that closed with a bang, Shuiwu Yuelan sneered, and then said: "Elder Yuanjiu, you heard it, right?"
If Dry Persimmon Chaoyi were still here, I'm afraid his eyes would pop out.
I saw Motojiu, who had always been at odds with Minazuki Arashi, suddenly slowly emerged from the ground: "Mizukage-sama."
"Elder Yuanjiu." Shuiwu Yuelan said with a hint of warmth on his face: "You have also heard that Ganshi Chaoyi often bewitched me and used my name to give orders on many things.
There have been many misunderstandings..."
As he said this, Shuiwu Yuelan shook his head with a look of regret on his face and said, "It's just me who's old and confused, and I was deceived by him."
When Yuan Jiu heard this, he looked at Shuimu Yuelan for a long time with a half-smile but not a smile. Sui Wu Yuelan was a little frightened by Yuan Jiu's stare, and his heart gradually became anxious.
"No way, is this Shimada Motohisa really going to kill everyone?" Minazuki Lan felt a little unsure.
After a long time, Yuan Jiu slowly said: "...Indeed, the Ganshi clan occupies the position of elder, but only knows how to do things like flying and running around, which is really not conducive to the development of the village."
Hearing Yuan Jiu's words, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in Minazuki Lan's eyes, and he said quickly: "That's right, in my opinion, Gan Shichaoichi has caused trouble to the village many times, and it is really not suitable to serve as an elder anymore.
The Shimada clan, on the other hand, has made great contributions to the village. Only those who can occupy this position of elder are the way to go in the long run."
"It should be so." Seeing Mizuki Lan's words, Motojiu also smiled and nodded, and then said: "Lord Mizukage, it's getting late, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Elder Yuanjiu, walk slowly." Shuiying said with a smile.
As Yuan Jiu left the house, Minazuki Lan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Shimada Motohisa accepted my conditions..." Minazuki Arashi shook his head and sighed: "I never expected that the first Mizukage, the majestic Mizukage, would be reduced to the point of surrendering to others."
Yes, Minazuki Lan finally chose to surrender to Motohisa.
This living person cannot be suffocated to death. When things have reached this point, Yuanjiu's rise has become unstoppable.
Shuiwu Yuelan's family knows their own affairs.
He has led the Minazuki clan in battles for a lifetime, and has suffered numerous injuries, both large and small. Now he can still have most of the strength he had at his peak, but in another year or two, it is hard to say how much strength he will have left.
.
When the time comes, he will inevitably retreat from the position of Mizukage.
If he continues to be an enemy of Motohisa, he will still be the Mizukage now, so there will be no problem.
But time is on Motojiu's side. In the future, he retreats or even dies, and the other party comes to power in his prime. What will the Minazuki family do then?
If the younger generation of his family is trying to achieve success, then that's fine. Under the pressure of Mizukage like him, Motojiu managed to survive for a long time relying on his own strength, didn't he?
But unfortunately, the next generation of the Minazuki clan is not very impressive, and there is not even a single ninja who has stepped into the quasi-kage level.
In this way, he has no more choices.
Fortunately, he is the first Mizukage of Kirigakure, the founder of the village, and the face of the village.
If he, the first Mizukage, becomes infamous, it will affect Kirigakure's reputation within the country and among the nations.
As the future second-generation Mizukage, I'm afraid Motohisa doesn't want to see such a situation.
That’s why today’s scene happened
At the expense of personally paving the way for Motohisa, Minazuki Arashi also sold his allies the Mikigaki clan, in exchange for Motoku being open to the Minazuki clan.
Although the Minazuki family may still have a difficult time in the future, it will not completely fall to the bottom. If the younger generations can live up to their expectations in the future, maybe there is hope for the family to rise again.
As for the Ganshi clan...
"If you are a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, I will have no choice but to wrong you." Shuiwu Yuelan thought secretly in her heart.
The relationship between the two clans was not very strong in the first place. They only formed an alliance out of interests. Selling each other would put no pressure on Minazuki Lan.
