The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"However, given enough time, Kirigakure will surely be able to resolve this."

"If we proceed steadily and surely, it's not impossible that Kirigakure will one day be able to achieve the feat of unifying the ninja world."

As Yagura thought of this, his heart warmed.

"If I can accomplish this during my term, then I will become the greatest Mizukage of all time, and no one will be able to question me."

"Besides the ninja swords that are forged and repaired, the cultivation of talent in the village is also an important factor that cannot be ignored."

Yagura knew that many people in Kirigakure had objections to his succession as Mizukage.

Some felt that their contributions were not enough.

Some felt that their strength was only at the bottom among Kage-level ninjas.

Apart from the Water Mirror Technique, he has no other notable skills.

"The Water Mirror Technique is indeed very powerful."

"However, the requirement for chakra levels is extremely high."

Yagura recalled.

Last time, when I faced Orochimaru, Orochimaru directly used the summoning of Manda to greatly limit my Water Mirror Technique.

"If I had more chakra, my strength would be greatly enhanced."

"Perhaps, I can choose to become a Jinchūriki?"

"Using the chakra reserves of the tailed beasts, combined with the Water Mirror Technique."

"At that time, how many people in this ninja world will still be my match?"

"It just so happens that the previous Three-Tails Jinchuriki has already died."

"I can do this once the Three-Tails is resurrected."

The more Yagura thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the right thing to do.

Yagura wanted to prove himself to those who thought he was unfit to succeed as Mizukage.

"Lord Mizukage, the winner has been decided."

The voice of the ANBU ninja brought Yagura back to his senses.

"who is it?"

"Chestnut Shot Hachi".

"Let him come up."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kurihara Kohachi approached Yagura.

"Mizukage-sama."

"Kuri-san Kohachi?"

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

"Who is Kurihara Kushimaru to you?"

"He's my uncle."

"well."

Yagura patted Kurihara Kohachi on the shoulder.

"From today onwards, you will be the wielder of the Blade of Destruction. I hope you can use the Blade of Destruction well and become a powerful ninja like your uncle, Kushimaru Kurihara."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

The crowd below looked on with envy.

Kurihara Hachi, holding the Blade of Destruction, was very excited.

Yagura was pleased with everyone's performance.

No one noticed that in a dark corner, a figure was looking at Yagura.

Intricate patterns slowly rotated in its eyes.

"Yakura"

"It's time to put my plans into action."

"But there are a lot of people now."

"I'll use illusion magic after Yagura is alone."

"That way, we can take control of the entire Hidden Mist Village without anyone noticing!"

Chapter 172 The Second Thirty-Draw is About to Begin

Kurihara Kohachi obtained the Blade of Destruction.

Yagura gained prestige and popular support.

Everyone has a bright "future".

However, after Yagura returned home...

An invisible vortex appeared.

Before Yagura even realized it.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Obito Uchiha used a kaleidoscope-level genjutsu on Yagura.

Yagura had no chance to resist.

Unlike the Third Mizukage.

In an instant, Yagura was brought under control.

They were caught in an illusion.

Obito Uchiha did not leave immediately, but instead continued to strengthen the genjutsu applied to Yagura in order to achieve absolute control over him.

The night passed quietly.

Yagura went to the Mizukage Building as usual.

Obito Uchiha left Kirigakure.

They took a lot of things with them, and left a lot behind.

They took away information about Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

"The information I got from Yagura is definitely true."

"The Third Mizukage has indeed disappeared."

"That Zanpakuto is gone too."

"The one who forged the Zanpakuto was a young blacksmith named Uehara Osamu."

"Now on Forging Island, as the Minister of Forging Department."

"It was the one named Ao who received the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan."

Obito Uchiha's eyes flickered.

"In that case, we need to make Yagura go to the forging island as little as possible."

"Do not have contact with Qing."

"Given the situation in Kirigakure, Ao wouldn't suspect Yagura. Looking at Yagura with his Byakugan would be extremely disrespectful to a Mizukage. However, unexpected things can happen."

"Therefore, reducing contact is the best approach."

This was Obito Uchiha's first order to Yagura.

"Only those who acknowledge a Zanpakuto can truly unleash its power."

"Even those who don't approve of it can use it, but they won't be able to unleash its full potential, and it will consume more chakra when used."

"A very special kind of ninja sword."

"It's somewhat similar to Kakashi using my Sharingan."

"Kakashi gained the ability of the Sharingan, but the existence of the Sharingan also placed a great burden on Kakashi."

"Besides Zanpakuto, there are also Ryo-kai-to and Dai-kai-to."

"If things continue to develop normally, Kirigakure will become very strong in the future."

Obito Uchiha's expression turned cold.

"But Kirigakure is not worthy!"

"Rin's death is not just the Third Mizukage's fault, but the fault of your entire Hidden Mist Village!"

"I will crush your hopes!"

"May you be consumed by suffering!"

"Only after I have completed my plan and allowed Rin to live a happy life will the remaining members of your Hidden Mist Village be eligible for liberation from the Eye of the Moon's plan."

Obito Uchiha wanted to take revenge on Kirigakure.

However, due to the importance of the Eye of the Moon Plan, it was more about taking revenge on Kirigakure.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha did not take any radical actions.

Instead, he gave Yagura a relatively "reasonable" order.

"Strengthen the Blood Mist Village!"

"Let this competition become more aggressive, and let more people die."

"Let their deaths serve as a tribute to Lin!"

This was the method that Obito Uchiha came up with, a way to retaliate against Kirigakure without revealing that Yagura had become abnormal and arousing suspicion from the people of Kirigakure.
