Chapter 286 Trends

This chapter wasn't supposed to be this short, but I was a little tired and that was it.

If you think what I wrote is too cruel, then let me warm you with my pure heart.

……………………

In a few days, the situation was not enough to ferment, but at least it was beginning to take shape.

The Mizukage was kidnapped, and his life and death were unknown at the moment. Terumi Mei, Ao, and Kisame, who served as guards and survived, were naturally held accountable. However, in view of the current shortage of manpower in the Kiri Ninja Village, the punishment of the three people was postponed.

The issue of finding out the whereabouts of Mizukage, how to retrieve it, and even Akatsuki's motive for abducting Mizukage was put on the conference table.

Every ninja village has a team composed of people in power, and Kage is one of them. However, in this meeting, Mizukage's seat was empty, which was a rare scene.

There were nine people sitting at the long conference table, most of them were elderly people with different looks, but all had solemn expressions.

"The letter has been sent. The daimyo is aware of the matter. While expressing condolences, he also hopes that we will deal with the matter as soon as possible." The voice of an old man with long hair was dull and powerful.

The middle-aged man with a red dart tattoo on his right eye said: "The next Mizukage cannot be elected before the life or death of Mizukage-sama is confirmed."

The long-haired old man who spoke before said in a deep voice: "That's true, but we should make preparations in advance. The village cannot be without an owner for many days."

The watermelon-headed old man sitting next to him agreed: "Indeed, we can find out the whereabouts of Lord Mizukage while making preparations."

The man with the dart tattoo frowned and said bitterly: "The person sent to contact Xiao lost the information and should be killed by Xiao's people."

The information brought back from Terumi Mei and others showed that the person who kidnapped Lord Mizukage was Konoha rebel ninja Hae Azusa, who belonged to Akatsuki.

"Hmph." A slightly fat old man snorted and said angrily: "This matter can't be settled. The other party is probably coming for the tailed beast."

Regarding this matter, the only thing that can be thought of is that the other party is coming for the tailed beast.

"Since there is no possibility of negotiation, there is no need to hold back."

"Agree."

"I have no opinion."

"Also, this matter must not be made public, but Konoha knows about it."

The importance of the Kage-level ninja to the village is self-evident, and it is also the symbol of the village. Now being forcibly taken away, it is like the facade being violently demolished. Usually, they are not willing to make a fuss, because it is very shameless. It's not a good thing to save face, and it's not a good thing to be known by other ninja villages.

Fortunately, this was not the period of the Ninja War, otherwise he would have experienced the same situation as the Suna Ninja Village where the Kazekage disappeared. At least during this turbulent time, he would have been targeted by the surrounding Ninja Villages.

The pressure that the Mist Ninja must bear is not as great as it was during the war, but everyone is actually mentally prepared. If the other party comes for the tailed beast, they must be fully prepared. In other words, Mizukage-sama has a lot of There is a high possibility that the tailed beast has been extracted.

"There is no time to care about it now. The top priority right now is to create pressure on Akatsuki."

"The information we have so far shows that Akatsuki's base is in the Country of Rain, and the opponent's motives for seizing the tailed beasts regardless of the consequences are obvious."

"That closed country? We don't know anything about it."

"No matter what, the candidate for the task must be determined as soon as possible."

Lacking key information, the Mist Ninja people had no idea what Akatsuki's motive was for seizing the tailed beasts. All they could think of was that the Rain Ninja Village in the Land of Rain wanted to rely on the jinchūriki as a way to grow into a Great Ninja Village. key.

At present, the war has been suspended for two years, the daimyo has reduced its finances, and the 'development' of the Kiri ninja afterwards is not optimistic. Yagura went to see the daimyo a few days ago in order to get an opportunity to turn things around, but he did not expect that at such a critical moment, This will happen.

Facing the Rain Ninja Village, we don’t know what the opponent’s strength is, and the Mist Ninja Village cannot start a war hastily, because the current situation does not allow for a war, so at most we can only send troops to infiltrate or conduct reconnaissance. If possible, we will certainly not miss out on weakening the Rain Ninja Village. An opportunity to show the strength of Ninja Village.

But if the other party is powerful, I am afraid that this shameful Mist Ninja Village will be swallowed up by itself.

After all, when there are other ninja villages around, you need to consider a lot when making decisions. As for the truce treaty, it is not an insurance that can be relied on.

----------------------------------------

Sand Ninja Village is also one of the villages that was persecuted by Akatsuki.

Compared to the Mist Ninja Village where the Mizukage was abducted, the Suna Ninja Village was relatively lucky and managed to retain its jinchūriki.

However, Akatsuki members once again invaded the Ninja Village and made a big fuss. New and old grudges piled up, and they really couldn't bear it anymore.

Like the Mist Ninja Village, the Sand Ninja Village is aware of Akatsuki's purpose, but in its current state, the Sand Ninja also doesn't have much energy left to contend with Akatsuki.

Therefore, the Sand Ninja made a different choice from the Mist Ninja, that is, he chose to form an alliance with Konoha, or to seek an alliance.

The alliance was decided after negotiation, and the person responsible for the negotiation was designated as Ye Cang.

Almost within an hour after the decision was made, the command of Hagura was assigned, and the latter led the team to Konoha with great efficiency.

At present, Akatsuki has only targeted two ninja villages, the weaker Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja. Since there is no common information, they do not know each other. Even through their respective intelligence channels, it is difficult to know in detail.

The Kiri Ninja takes action against Akatsuki, while the Suna Ninja wants to use Konoha's power.

This is the action of both parties. As for the Iwa Ninja Village and the Cloud Ninja Village, even if they know about it, they mostly act like it has nothing to do with them. When Akatsuki doesn't reach out to them, they don't care, and they even like to hear it.

The Kingdom of Earth, Ye Zi’s stronghold.

After returning here, except for normal rest time, Ye Zi spent the rest of his time teaching the children.

Yao recalled that when he was Kai and Hong's teacher, apart from guiding them to take the path of partial subjects, he actually didn't give them much help. At least that's what he thought.

However, Kai and Hong believed from the bottom of their hearts that Ye Zi had helped them a lot, but Ye Zi didn't know this.

Ye Zi is very serious and meticulous when he spends time teaching children. Although he has a purpose, it is undeniable that a lot of changes have indeed taken place compared to when he was in Konoha.

Ye Zi is teaching seriously, and the children are also studying seriously.

They respect Ye Zi and want to become as powerful a ninja as Ye Zi.

Yan Ye and Uchiha Jin leaned against the corner and watched this scene silently, feeling a little incredible.

"Every time I see Mr. Ye Zi surrounded by a group of children, I feel incredible." Jin hugged his arms and looked at the training ground quietly.

"But I think this is good." Yan Ye smiled slightly.

Jin glanced at her and said, "Your feelings for Master Ye Zi are too obvious."

"Yes." Yan Ye's eyes fell gently on Ye Zi, and he nodded gently without denying it.

Jin's eyes dimmed slightly, but then quickly brightened up again. The girl beside him, who had saved him many times during missions, liked Lord Ye Zi. The two of them were a perfect match.

"But Lord Ye Zi seems to be turning a blind eye to your thoughts."

"It's okay if you can't respond. As long as you can be by his side, that's enough." Yan Ye said without any concern.

This sentence struck a chord in Jin's heart. That's it. Just being by your side is enough...
