The Steady King of Konoha

At dawn the next day, Yura Yamazaka once again paid homage to Yamashiro Tatsu, who was buried here, and left the Nanga River, leaving Hayama alone to guard here.

Hayama first washed himself by the river, and then went to the tomb. He carefully brushed off the frost on the bouquet of flowers, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to meditate to refine chakra.

This trip to the Kingdom of Water made Hayama realize that the chakra extracted from the five human organs in traditional culture is not only extremely pure, but also extremely powerful in battle. He only has two attributes of water and fire, and his strength is...

After experiencing earth-shaking changes, it is natural to want to refine chakra of other attributes as soon as possible.

In traditional culture, the heart belongs to fire, the kidneys belong to water, the lungs belong to metal, the spleen belongs to wood, and the liver belongs to wood. The five attributes are mutually reinforcing and incompatible. According to the old Chinese medicine practitioners in previous lives, if a person can complete the understanding of the five attributes, he can automatically

These are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing, and they are endless.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, Yeshan could still remember the formulas for these attributes clearly even after twenty years. He realized that these were probably formulas divided according to power and difficulty of practice, so his target was himself

of lungs.

Hayama is very curious about what kind of changes metallic chakra will bring to him. In the ninja world, he has heard of fire escape, water escape, earth escape, and wood escape, but he has never heard of gold escape until now.

Time passed very quickly, and Hayama spent every day practicing. During this period, except for Uchiha Fugaku who came here to ask him about the aftermath, no one set foot there, which surprised Hayama.

What Hayama didn't know was that a ninja agitation incident broke out in Kirigakure Village three days ago. A group of people, led by some hawkish ninjas and young and energetic ninjas, stormed the Mizukage building at noon. The third Mizukage was asked to send ninjas there.

The heads of the three Yagura people were brought back to the Nanga River near the Uchiha clan's territory, but they were suppressed by the Third Mizukage.

Kirigakure Village is no longer the Kirigakure Village a few months ago. Not only were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen annihilated, Kage's successor Yagura died, but they also lost the strategic weapon of the Three-Tails. As a result, Kirigakure Village is now

I was so weak that I could no longer withstand any hardship.

The Third Mizukage sat back in his chair tiredly. His desk was filled with letters of reprimand from the Daimyos of the Land of Water, giving him a headache.

"Sir, everything is ready." An ANBU appeared in the Mizukage's office like a ghost and said respectfully.

The Third Mizukage opened his eyelids and looked at the furniture in the office with nostalgia. After a long time, he stood up and said lightly: "Let's go."

The ANBU stiffened for a moment and said in a solemn voice: "Has the matter really come to this point?"

The Third Mizukage came to Anbu's side, stretched out his hand to take off the mask on his face, and said: "The village has reached its most critical moment. You can also notice this even if I don't tell you."

"From now on, you don't have to wear a mask. You will step on my corpse and become the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village!"

The ninja under the mask is about thirty years old and is in the peak period of a ninja, but at this time there is a little mist in his eyes.

"Sir, this is not fair!"

The ninja punched the ground, complaining about the infamous Mizukage in front of him.

The Third Mizukage squinted his eyes and looked out the window, but his sight was blocked by thick fog. He could not see any scenery at all, and could only vaguely hear the noise of children playing.

"There is no fairness in this world, and even if there is, it is all artificially created. Yagura is dead, Suikoyama Fugu Oni ​​is dead, the three tails are lost, and the village's right and left arm are all gone. I, the Mizukage, have an unshirkable responsibility.

Even if these things are not my orders."

"The second-generation master once told me that Mizukage's duty is definitely not to sit in the office and enjoy happiness. It is definitely not to simply enjoy, but more to sacrifice."

"Sacrificing personal leisure time to deal with daily official duties; sacrificing time with family to take root in the village; sacrificing one's personal hobbies to do things fairly. Now that things have reached this point, it is even more necessary to sacrifice one's life for the prosperity of the village.

of vitality!”

"Look at those people, look at those so-called hawkish ninjas."

When the Third Mizukage said this, anger appeared on his face and he became excited.

"Those people asked me to send ninjas to recover Yagura's head, but no one had the courage to stand up and say I'll go! Not one of them!"

"So what if Yagura dies? So what if the three tails are lost? Compared with these, the new generation in the village has lost their heart for revenge and their enterprising spirit is the most fatal!"

"A ninja can become a strong person as long as he has an enterprising heart; a ninja village can be saved as long as he maintains a strong spirit!"

"But now, the village has lost these, do you know!? Kirigakure Village has lost the energy and spirit it has had since the village was founded. This is the most fatal!"

The third Mizukage walked around the house, like a wounded beast, roaring constantly.

"How long has it been since the country of Whirlpool was destroyed, and all of it has been forgotten!? A ninja village has lost its enterprising spirit and only thinks about self-preservation. What will be the consequences? Has it been forgotten!?"

"If this continues, within ten years, Kirigakure Village will only have cultivated a bunch of trash, and there will never be a truly strong person! By that time, the country will really be destroyed!"

The Third Mizukage gasped for air, his chest heaving continuously. It was obvious that he was very excited, but what he said next was chilling to the bone.

"Listen, I want you to turn Kirigakure Village into a village of blood mist. I want you to turn all the ninjas in the village into a bunch of bloodthirsty people. Do you hear me!?"

The ANBU's eyes became sharp, and his whole body exuded a cold aura, which was inseparably related to his profession.

"So you chose me to be the new Kage?"

To his surprise, the Third Mizukage shook his head, squatted on the ground, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word: "I choose you to be the victim of Kirigakure Village!"

The ANBU ninja widened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. He swallowed and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Literally."

The Third Mizukage simply sat on the ground and started talking with the half-kneeling ANBU ninja.

"A village under a high-pressure policy will burst into unparalleled vitality in a short period of time, but this method is ultimately a helpless move and cannot be implemented for a long time, otherwise the village will still not be able to escape the fate of destruction."

"In ten years, at most ten years, this bloody policy will be abolished. By that time, you, the Fourth Mizukage, will become a victim."

The ANBU ninja pursed his lips. He clearly knew what would happen to the so-called victim, but he didn't flinch at all, didn't have a trace of fear, and only had a heavy sense of responsibility.

The third Mizukage sighed and said: "Yakura was the perfect successor, but he died inexplicably, at the hands of two obscure Konoha ninjas, and became a stepping stone for others to become famous.

, otherwise I would not choose you to be the shadow no matter what."

"Why?"

"Because you are from the Terumi clan, you can never become a Mizukage. But there is no way, you have a good daughter, she will be the fifth generation Mizukage!"

The ANBU ninja nodded solemnly, feeling very proud in his heart.

The Third Mizukage stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and said calmly: "Let's go."

The ANBU ninja has experienced countless bloody battles in his life, and his heart has long been as strong as a rock, but he is still very sad at this time. He is sad for the Third Mizukage, and also because of his own future ending.

The Third Mizukage smiled, patted the ANBU ninja on the shoulder in a happy mood, and said, "Don't cry so damn much. As a Kage, it is an honor to die for the village."

"So today is my big day, be happy!"

After that, the third Mizukage put on the Mizukage hat and walked out of the office where he had worked so hard with his hands behind his back.

The ANBU ninja looked up, watching the thin figure disappear before his eyes, and found that it was so tall and majestic, so indestructible.

This world is inherently unfair. Some people are born with things that most people will never get after struggling for a lifetime; some people spend money like water, while some people have nothing to eat; some people have a photographic memory, and some people have a photographic memory.

They are extremely stupid; some people are powerful and powerful, and some people are as humble as ants; some countries are rich in resources and people, and some countries are poor and sparsely populated; some villages have geniuses, and some villages have no successors. But this world is...

It is also relatively fair, because the laws of heaven are fair. People are subject to three disasters and six diseases, birth, old age, sickness and death; the earth is subject to change, the stars are changing, the seas are vicissitudes; state-owned enterprises rise and fall, things are different and people are different.

Nothing can survive forever. All objects will eventually be erased and disappear under the law of time. However, human beings, short-lived creatures, have discovered through constant loss that even if the human body dies, it still remains.

One thing - spirit.

Human beings are creatures that cannot survive without spirit. The obsession of each individual supports him to live strong.

These obsessions are diverse and diverse. Getting promoted, getting rich, eating well, sleeping well, playing well, antiques, calligraphy and painting, birds and beasts, and having many children and grandchildren are all obsessions or spirits. But for individuals,

This obsession will still disappear and be forgotten in the inheritance of time, but the length of time will vary.

One person's obsession is called a dream or ideal; two people with the same obsession can be called like-minded; a group of people's obsession can be called belief; and a group's obsession is given a more noble word - will.

The first Hokage, who was once a powerful figure in the ninja world, died physically, but his will was passed down by his descendants, supporting the Konoha Ninja Village to advance in the ninja world. There are still countless successors of the Will of Fire.

The first Mizukage died, and his will was also inherited and passed down in Kirigakure Village. However, as of today, this will has been gradually forgotten, causing Kirigakure Village to be on the verge of destruction.

Kirigakure Village is isolated overseas and isolated from the world, so the ninjas in the village yearn to have their own land on the mainland. However, the small land area leads to scarcity of resources. To truly fulfill this long-cherished wish, someone has to be able to

Self-sacrifice, this gave birth to the core of the Will of Water - sacrifice.

The sacrifices of generations have prompted the Kingdom of Water to move forward, and it was recognized by the world as one of the five great nations. However, after the fall of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, different voices gradually emerged in the village. They believed that the geographical location of the Kingdom of Water was

It is a natural advantage, and there is no need to occupy a piece of land. This voice became more and more intense, and actually formed an anti-war wave and formed a morbid mentality of self-sufficiency.

The Third Mizukage discovered the existence of this voice, so he was forced to participate in the Second Ninja War under huge pressure, and then suppressed this wave. However, all these efforts will be destroyed by the two Konoha ninjas.

In his hands, it was even worse.

The Kirigakure ninjas are actually afraid of the Konoha ninja named Baiyun Yeshan. They are afraid of fighting and war!

That's why the third Mizukage had the idea of ​​self-sacrifice to create a hero. This Kirigakure hero will carry his head and step on his body to become the new generation of Mizukage in the village.

Killing a hero who is hated by thousands of people will naturally have unparalleled appeal, and the huge strength of the Terumi clan will also give the new Kage supreme power.

The outspoken fourth generation Mizukage will declare a high-pressure rule, forcing the ninjas in the village to burst into enterprising spirit and sacrifice until they can truly stand up again.

When that time comes, the fourth generation Mizukage will sacrifice himself again to become a new generation of Mizukage, thereby ensuring that the will of water will be passed down forever.

The sacrifices of two generations of Mizukages and several generations of ninjas were exchanged for a new Water Country and a new Kirigakure Village. This was a decision made by the third Mizukage after careful consideration, and it was also a Kage's last duty.

There was no thrilling and touching written praise, and there was no scene of cheers from thousands of people. The third Mizukage of Kirigakure Village just died by a small river not far from the village.

No one knows why Terumi Ten, the ANBU leader who was Mizukage's confidant, betrayed his master. Perhaps no one cares about why this happened.

The people and ninjas of the entire village were celebrating with their hats, celebrating the death of the incompetent and cowardly Third Mizukage, and celebrating the arrival of a new leader in the village that has been filled with heavy fog all year round.

The new Mizukage looked at the cheering crowd with a calm expression. There was no expression on his angular face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. A beam of sunlight penetrated the thick fog and shone on his face.

His body was decorated like a shining golden figure.

In fact, Terumiten was thinking of only a few words, but these few words were the true core of the Will of Water.

Who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes!!!
