Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The situation in the Hidden Mist Village itself is very complicated.

Obito himself has no political talent. He raised the Blood Mist Village in Hidden Mist, slaughtered the bloodline families and cleaned up the opposition. He weakened the foundation of Hidden Mist to the lowest level in history.

But he never dealt a fatal blow to Hidden Mist.

The main reason is that all his means were completed through the Mizukage controlled by him.

This manipulation allowed various plans to be implemented quickly. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, he could not issue some orders that directly harmed Hidden Mist.

Because if the action is too obvious, it will be noticed. If you, a Mizukage, directly harm your own village, the people below will have to rebel directly.

Therefore, for many years, Obito could only use the excuse of eliminating dissidents to torment Hidden Mist. This left Kirigakure with its last breath.

Many young ninjas inside have begun to notice the problems of the village. But they can't imagine that the Mizukage is controlled by someone. They just think that the Mizukage has too much desire for power, so he has the above behavior.

Among this group of people, Terumi Mei is the representative. As the strongest of the younger generation, Terumi Mei has long ago begun to secretly gather her own connections.

And because the Mizukage does not do anything, she has also gathered a group of followers around her.

Terumi Mei's idea is a coup, and she has never taken action because she is not sure to defeat the current Mizukage Kuraya.

After all, the other party is a perfect Jinchūriki. And Kuraya is not completely without followers. Under his massive cleansing of the Blood Family, there are actually some people who have become the beneficiaries. This group of people are Kuraya's supporters.

Terumi Mei's faction wants to save Kirigakure, not destroy it. Once a full-scale war with the Mizukage lineage begins, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, Kirigakure's last bit of assets will definitely not be saved.

In this case, Terumi Mei's lineage can only continue to lurk. Hope to find the fatal weakness of Mizukage, and then kill him with one blow.

Originally, everything could still be maintained. But suddenly one day, Mizukage went crazy for some reason. He actually summoned Raikage and Tsuchikage to join forces to attack Konoha.

This operation shocked the other faction of Kirigakure.

Boss, don't you have any idea of ​​the situation in your own family? With this little wealth, you still want to attack Konoha? Believe it or not, the reckless man like Raikage, realizing the weakening of Kirigakure, will directly turn around and destroy us first.

But no matter what, Kirigakure is always under the control of Mizukage. Mei Terumi and others now even regret not taking action in advance.

They know very well that once a war with Konoha begins, Kirigakure is basically finished. Because Raikage and Tsuchikage, one has the style of a bandit, and the other has the style of an old silver coin.

Konoha is now thriving, and it has shown obvious expansionist intentions to the outside world. In this case, going to war with Konoha in full state. It is simply uncomfortable.

What's more, Sand Village and Konoha are now a military alliance. Three to two, although there is an advantage on the surface. But the current foundation of Kirigakure can't withstand a big war.

So, once the war starts. No matter what the result is, Kirigakure will definitely be gone.

Mei Terumi can understand the village's strategy to curb Konoha's rise. But the problem is that she doesn't have that ability.

Moreover, Kirigakure is isolated overseas and has little intersection with Konoha. Just give up the shipping business. Konoha's rise should be the most anxious Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

Based on this consideration, Mei Terumi's lineage finally began to realize that the Mizukage may not only have too much desire for power. He seems to have something wrong. Because he took the lead in fighting Konoha, this operation is really too stupid.

"Mizukage-sama is a perfect Jinchūriki, how could he be controlled by others?"

"Why not? The Nine-Tails can be controlled by others, why can't the Mizukage?"

"But I still can't accept it. That's the Mizukage?"

"Then how do you explain the village's series of unreasonable actions? We need to make a decision as soon as possible. Everyone should know that once the war starts, Kirigakure will have only one way to go."

Mei Terumi saw it very clearly. But unfortunately, the power in her hands was not strong enough.

Everyone had a pessimistic attitude towards the coup.

But at this time, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"It seems that you need a little help."

"Who?" Mei Terumi and her group stood up and were on guard. Then they saw an unexpected person appear.

"...Zabuza? How dare you come back?"

"Why can't I come back? To be honest, I have hurt this village.

? In fact, I tried very hard to save this village. "

Mei Terumi stared at Zabuza for a while, and stopped Chojuro and Ao who were about to attack.

"Zabuza, which side do you represent? Kumogakure, Iwagakure, or Konoha?"

"Hehe. Which side I represent is naturally a very important question. But I will only answer this question to the Mizukage. Mei Terumi, you don't seem to be the Mizukage yet!"
