The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Just when Uchiha Madara was about to leave Konoha, Kirigakure, thousands of miles away, was holding a grand party.

The second generation Mizukage Shimada Motohisa officially held the Mizukage Succession Ceremony today and became the legitimate second generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village.

And Kirigakure became the first ninja village among the five great ninja villages to enter the era of Nidaime rule.

But in fact, as the first-generation Mizukage, Minazuki Arashi is much older than the first-generations of the other four great ninja villages. In fact, if we really want to say it, Motokyu, the second-generation Mizukage, is as old as all the first-generation Mizukage.

He is a ninja from the same era.

"Mizukage-sama! Mizukage-sama!"

"Nidaime! Nidaime!"

"..."

In the mist-shrouded Kirigakure Village, a large number of villagers are gathering on the street in front of the Mizukage Building to cheer for the newly appointed second generation Mizukage.

Now in Kirigakure Village, Motohisa's reputation has completely surpassed Kirigakure's founder, Minazuki Arashi.

Firstly, Kirigakure Village was originally born from the alliance of the five major ninja clans. Secondly, after the establishment of Kirigakure, many key strategies under the leadership of the first Mizukage repeatedly failed.

This is how to capture the three tails.

The same goes for competing with Kumogakure for the Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of the Moon.

Even at the Five Shadows Conference, the duel to determine the ownership of the three tails relied on Motojiu's one-piercing three to achieve a decisive comeback.

Although anyone who knows the industry and knows the inside story knows that some things are force majeure, and the role played by Minazuki Arashi in the duel at the Five Kage Conference is also crucial.

But unfortunately for the vast majority of people, what everyone saw was that the first generation of Mizukage was mediocre and incompetent, while Elder Motohisa repeatedly turned the tide.

When most people in a Ninja Village believe that their Kage can no longer govern the Ninja Village, then the Kage's rule will come to an end.

This was the case for the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura under the control of Obito in the original time and space.

Even though Obito suppressed it with terror and carried out various assassinations, the coup d'etat still continued to cut off one head and two more grew.

Even if Obito successfully suppresses countless rebellions, as long as he fails once, he will completely lose control of Kirigakure.

However, Minazuki Lan's crime does not end there.

The people of Kirigakure's view of Minazuki Arashi is that they "recognize his achievements, but because of his old age, he is no longer as smart and strong as before, and he has reached the age of taking care of himself."

In human terms, he is actually an old fool.

Therefore, before Minazuki Arashi abdicated, there were many voices in the village asking him to step aside. But after he abdicated, almost overnight, he became a respected ancestor and the founder of Kirigakure.

Of course, it is unclear whether the Shimada branch and the Terumi clan contributed to the changes in public opinion...

Anyway, Minazuki Arashi knew very well that her role now was to be the clay puppet of Kirigakure Village, and to be a mascot that would be highly honored.

It's a bit ironic to say.

This was what he had in mind when he promised Hanzo that the Shimada clan would be equal to the Minazuki clan in the Kingdom of Water in the future...

As the Mizukage succession ceremony was completed, the ninjas and villagers who came to watch the ceremony also left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the shadow guards.

The newly minted second-generation Mizukage-sama immediately summoned all the village's top management, or "former top-level officials", and held the first high-level meeting since the second-generation Mizukage officially took office.

"Clan Patriarch Yasuhiro, Mr. Shunichi."

The last one to walk into Mizukage's office was Kaguya Qinggen.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two unusual faces sitting in the office.

Goju Yasuhiro, the leader of the Goju clan in Kirigakure Village.

And the current chief elder of the Shimada branch, Shunichi Shimada.

Although Motohisa officially took over as the second generation head today, the power of Kirigakure had completely fallen into the hands of Motohisa on the day Kirigakure Village was defeated from Yuno Country, and Minazuki Arashi had actually abdicated for more than half a month.

After such a long time, everyone is pretty much aware of the high-level changes during the Second Generation period.

Since Motokyu and below, the most powerful person among Kirigakure now is Terumiei.

This is also natural. Terumiei was the first ninja clan to stand with the Shimada clan. The two clans survived the most difficult period together, not to mention that the main lineage of the Terumi clan and the Shimada clan are related by marriage.

.

Now that Motojiu has attained enlightenment, the Terumi clan will naturally follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

Under Terumiei, Kaguya Aogen barely managed to retain his original position of power due to his superb wall-riding skills.

As for Ganshi Chaoichi, the patriarch of the Ganshi clan, he became the biggest loser in the high-level reshuffle.

Now, except for the title of an elder, Asaki Asaichi is no longer in charge of anything.

As Miki Tokaki Toichi and Minazuki Arashi were to retire from the top management, naturally two more people had to step in to replace them.

The two people who are about to replace Toichi Inekaki and the abdicated Minazuki Arashi to join the senior management are Yasuhiro Gotachibana and Shunichi Shimada.

Shimada Shunichi was fine, Motohisa asked him to fill in, firstly to strengthen the power of the Mizukage, and secondly because he wanted to be responsible for liaison and diplomacy with Konoha.

As for Yasuhiro Gotachibana, it’s because Shiro Gotachibana is now Kirigakure’s three-tailed Jinchuuriki.

The other Six-Tails Jinchuuriki in Kirigakure Village is just a ninja from a small family.

And based on observations these days, Goju Shiro and Sanwei have already begun to resonate.

As a result, Yuanjiu had to pay attention to this originally inconspicuous Gouji clan.

In the end, Yuanjiu took up the position of an elder and successfully won over the Gouji clan.

At present, among the senior management of Kirigakure, except for Kaguya Qinggen, who is a wall-riding faction, the remaining few people are Motohisa's cronies and allies.

With no wall to ride on, Kaguya Seigen probably had no other choice but to shout long live the Mizukage.

So so far, Kirigakure Village has completely fallen under Motojiu's control.

"...Effective from now on, Toichi Inikiki will step down as the elder and become the leader of the jounin class. Shunichi Shimada will be promoted to the elder and be responsible for diplomatic work. Yasuhiro Goju will be promoted to the elder and be responsible for the ninja school and ninja promotion. Elder Terumi will be responsible for finance.

Work and tasks are released, Elder Kaguya is still responsible for the security of the village..."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Several people in front of him saluted Yuan Jiu at the same time.

But the difference is that Gan Shichaoichi has an ugly face, while the other four people have happy expressions on their faces.

There is no way. If the position of Kirigakure Jonin Class Leader is valued by the Mizukage, then it will be a candidate for the top position. But if the Mizukage does not value it, then this is a typical pension position.

When it comes to Ganshi Chaoichi, there is no doubt that he is here to provide for his retirement.

However, although Ganshi Chaoyi looked ugly, he did not dare to shame Motojiu openly like before and walked away.

"Shimada Motohisa has become a winner, what can I do..." Inakisaki smiled bitterly in his heart.
