Promoting the Konoha threat theory, and talking about the Hidden Mist Belt!

Promoting the "Konoha Threat Theory," and the "Hero of the Hidden Mist"! (Author: Fibonacci Function)

Summary:

For over a thousand years, the ninja world has remained stagnant within the confines of its feudal system.

What kind of political system is "one country, one village"? Is it a mixture of Western European vassalage and pre-Qin enfeoffment system?

The most important affairs of a nation are sacrifice and war. Isn't it ridiculous that the highest military force in the country is a mercenary group?

A Cao Cao fan is reborn in the Hidden Mist Village of the Ninja World, and there he only does three things.

Beautiful women, immortality, and unification!

At this time, Konoha was at its peak, Kumogakure was ambitious, Iwagakure was waiting for its chance, and Sunagakure was lying low. Only Kirigakure, which was on the eve of the Blood Mist, was threatened by Uchiha Madara from the outside and had constant conflicts between the major ninja clans. As the young clan leader of the Hozuki clan, how could he unify the ninja world?

What's more, Hozuki Shingetsu had just become a Jonin when the Mizukage announced a period of national seclusion!

This left the newly appointed foreign minister with much to ponder... Wait, island nation + diplomacy?

Thus, with the "continental balance policy" as its starting point, the emergence of the "Konoha Threat Theory" and the "Uchiha Human Rights Report" signified that Kirigakure had embarked on an unprecedented path of development.

Chapter 1 The Third Mizukage's Greatest Worry

32 years in the Hidden Mist Village, 33 years in the Leaf Village.

At dawn, at the gate of Kirigakure, a young Kirigakure ninja with gray-blue hair styled like the tip of a calligraphy brush kept pacing back and forth, as if waiting for someone.

Before long, as the sun rose, a figure slowly walked over from a distance.

The newcomer was about twelve years old, with white hair, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a tall and straight figure. Although he was still young, one could vaguely imagine how handsome he would be when he grew up.

"New Moon, you're back? How was it? Did you complete the trial?"

The young ninja immediately went to meet him, looking at the newcomer with expectant eyes.

Seeing the expectant look on his friend's face, Hozuki Shingetsu didn't keep him in suspense and immediately took out a headband.

Although quite some time has passed, the bloodstains and the distinct swirling mark are still visible under the sunlight.

"A standard Konoha team, led by a Jonin from the Hyuga branch family, with three Chunin. Overall, their strength is so-so; at least they didn't push me to the brink."

Ao looked the Konoha headband up and down. Although Hozuki Shingetsu's words were very casual, he could still imagine the risks involved.

Although Hozuki Shingetsu, as the young head of the Hozuki clan and a genius of the younger generation in Kirigakure, possessed the strength to become a Jonin at the young age of twelve, single-handedly killing an entire Konoha squad, especially one with a sensory-type Hyuga ninja, would probably not be so easy even for the Hyuga branch family.

After all, the difference between ninjas can sometimes be greater than the difference between humans and pigs.

A ninja's fighting style, whether they possess a bloodline limit, and the level of teamwork among team members all contribute to different battle outcomes.

A sensory-type ninja, especially from the Hyuga clan, is precisely the nemesis of the Hozuki clan's water transformation technique.

"If the Second Mizukage hadn't passed away so young, how could that narrow-minded and intolerant guy, Ren, have risen to power, forcing you to choose this method to become a Jonin?"

Ao clenched her headband tightly, indignantly defending Hozuki Shingetsu.

"Shh!"

Hozuki Shingetsu shook his head, glanced at the two Chunin guarding the gate beside him, and signaled to his friend not to curse the current Mizukage so directly at the gate.

At least go home and close the door!

After being glanced at by Hozuki Shingetsu, the two Chunin immediately lowered their eyes and pretended not to hear.

Just kidding. It's a battle between the two top powers of Kirigakure. It's better for ordinary Chunin like us not to get involved.

They can't do anything to each other, so how could they possibly deal with lowly chunin like them?

Moreover, the reputation of this young clan leader of the Hozuki clan is much better than that of the current Mizukage. If they had to choose a side, they would prefer to stand behind this young clan leader.

With Hozuki Shingetsu blocking his way, Ao could only suppress his urge to complain and follow behind Hozuki Shingetsu, walking along the main street of Kirigakure to the Mizukage Building.

"Lord Mizukage is having a secret meeting with the Daimyo's envoy. Just hand over the mission token to me."

Just as the two were about to enter the Water Shadow Gate, an ANBU member wearing a gray vest and a mask suddenly appeared in front of them and raised his hand to signal them to stop.

"I still have some important matters to discuss with the Mizukage, and these concern my Jonin trials. I think it would be best to hand them over to the Mizukage personally."

"As I said, the Mizukage is in a secret meeting. He will notify you separately if he wants to see you."

The masked face of the ANBU member revealed no expression as he coldly repeated the same sentence.

Hozuki Shingetsu squinted and looked the dark figure up and down, his gaze lingering for a while on the head and vital organs like the heart.

As the moisture in the air increased, those in the shadows sensed the dampness and secretly made preparations.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly serious, Hozuki Shingetsu glanced at the door of the Mizukage's office not far away, chuckled, and without insisting, threw the Konoha headband in his hand over and left with Ao.

After watching Hozuki Shingetsu and the other leave, the ANBU member turned and went into the Mizukage's office, kneeling on one knee to report to the Mizukage who was standing by the window.

"Lord Mizukage, Hozuki Shingetsu has been sent back."

"According to intelligence, he encountered a Konoha ninja squad led by a Jonin from the Hyuga branch family in the Land of the Moon three days ago. All that is known is that there was thick fog at the time, and the sound of battle was almost zero. Afterwards, only Hozuki Shingetsu left, and the bodies of the four ninjas disappeared. Specific battle information is unknown."

"A twelve-year-old Jonin... and he became a Jonin by stepping over the corpses of his natural enemies. He is truly a force to be reckoned with!"

Contemporary Water Shadow Lotus watched the two figures disappear downstairs, her face expressionless.

"Lord Mizukage, before he left he said he had something important to discuss with you..."

"I know what he's up to, Ninja Academy Principal? I don't know why he values ​​those cannon fodder, but we can't let him get his way so easily, can we?"

Lian shook her head and complained, seemingly troubled.

"As the young head of the Hozuki clan, a renowned genius of our Hidden Mist Village, and having achieved such a feat to become a Jonin, I should at least be given a more challenging role to play! Otherwise, others might think that I, as the Mizukage, am jealous of talent!"

The ANBU member kneeling on the ground lowered his head, seemingly not having heard anything.

Since the Second Mizukage died during the First Shinobi World War, and the Third Mizukage, in alliance with the Kaguya clan, reclaimed the Mizukage position that originally belonged to him from the Hozuki clan, the open and covert struggle between the Hozuki clan and the Third Mizukage has been ongoing.

By now, most Kirigakure ninjas of a certain status are aware of this.

Apart from the Yuki clan, which maintains an alliance with the Hozuki clan, and the Kaguya clan, allies of the Third Mizukage, most others adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

However, most people, including Master Yuan, viewed it as an internal conflict between the Hidden Mist Village, much like the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Leaf Village—a struggle that did not lead to a complete break.

They probably could never have imagined the terrifying policies the Third Mizukage would implement in order to eliminate the Hozuki clan, policies that would not only backfire on their master but also nearly drag Kirigakure into an abyss.

"A genius of Kirigakure, the young head of the Hozuki clan, he is not only young and strong, but also approachable and has a great reputation among ninjas and commoners. Many people call him 'the second Hozuki Gengetsu'."

"Hehe, it really makes me very gratified that the young people in the village are able to shoulder such important responsibilities!"

While examining the information about Hozuki Shingetsu in her hand, Ren chuckled as she looked at Hozuki Shingetsu's figure in the distance, seemingly plotting something.

"Pass down the notice: a Jonin meeting will be held in three days to thoroughly discuss the appointments of our Hidden Mist Village's geniuses!"

"Yes! Mizukage-sama!"

The main plot of this book is farming and stamp collecting.

Of all the Naruto fanfiction I've read before, none of them had the element I wanted to read, so I decided to start my own.

This book makes extensive use of various historical allusions and memes from the real world, such as some Western propaganda and classic Chinese sayings, plus some of my own creative ideas about Naruto. So, I think this book at least contains what I wanted to read.

Thank you for watching.

Chapter 2 Timely Rain in the Hidden Mist Village

"What's wrong, New Moon?"

Hozuki Shingetsu withdrew his gaze from the Kirigakure Building and shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong.

"Let's go, Ao. If nothing unexpected happens, the clan will probably be holding a banquet to celebrate me becoming a Jonin. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to get any good stuff!"

Qing hesitated, not because she was hesitant about the food, since the main person in charge definitely wouldn't be there if he wasn't there.

"Would it be appropriate for me to attend the Hozuki clan's internal banquet?"

"Alright, since six years ago, everyone in the village knows that apart from not having the surname Hozuki, you're no different from the other members of the Hozuki clan!"

"Besides, I'm right here. Let's see who dares to gossip!"

Hozuki Shingetsu patted Ao on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Upon hearing this, Ao's mind instantly returned to the scene six years ago when he had just met Hozuki Shingetsu.

At that time, he was just an orphan who had just entered the ninja academy. He was timid and hesitant at school, not daring to compete with others for anything, until Hozuki Shingetsu arrived.

"I probably never imagined back then that I would have such a friendship with the young head of the Hozuki clan!"

Recalling the scene, Ao couldn't help but smile. He immediately stopped refusing and followed Hozuki Shingetsu towards the Hozuki clan's territory.

"Young Master Xinyue, you're back from your mission!"

"Judging from Young Master Xinyue's expression, the mission must have been a great success, right?"

"Thanks to your support last time, we were able to get through this difficult time. We wanted to visit you last week, but you were away on a mission. It's good that we met you now. Please accept this small token of our appreciation."

Along the way, vendors on both sides of the street would come out to greet Hozuki Shingetsu from time to time, and Hozuki Shingetsu would respond with a smile, showing no airs of being the young clan leader of the Hozuki clan.

"Oh, Mrs. Aoi, you're too kind. As you know, I'm always happy to help others."
