Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Yunyin Village.

Looking at the full moon rising slowly in the center of the sky, and the azure glow gradually disappearing into the moonlight and night sky, the Fourth Raikage Ai, who had clenched his fists several times due to the sudden changes in the moon's phase, finally finally He exhaled a long breath slowly.

"The moon falls and rises again~my brother's smile returns~"

Kirabi, who was also watching the whole process beside him, relaxedly put on an impromptu performance pose, and played a trick with Ai, the fourth generation Raikage who had relaxed his expression. However, Kirabi didn't look at him at all. Seemingly taking the crisis that could destroy everything seriously, the Fourth Raikage's mouth twitched, and he habitually raised his fist to hit the opponent's head hard, while at the same time yelling at him angrily:

"Is now the time to be so elated, Bi!?"

"Isn't it, brother?"

Kirabi laughed and dodged the Fourth Raikage's heavy hammer, and asked with a relaxed expression:

"The crisis of the moon's fall has disappeared~ The hopeless cooperation with the 'Root' organization has ended~ Kumogakure's future direction has become clear... We can get everything just by looking~ Why should we be downcast?"

"It's not as easy as you said, compared to..."

The Fourth Raikage pressed his eyebrows and said irritably:

"Everything that happened today has almost cut off the ambition we have accumulated. As long as Kaguya survives, Kirigakure will always be the undisputed strongest and ruler of the ninja world... Dad handed over Kirigakure to My hands are not meant to reduce Kumogakure to a status that is neither better nor worse among the five great ninja villages."

"He's just another First Hokage, why do you need to be so sad, brother?"

Kirabi stretched out his fist towards the Fourth Raikage Ai, and said comforting words:

"In the beginning, it was fire, which made new rules; then it was water, which planned to initiate reforms; the future of the ninja world cannot be determined in one day, and the cloud of nurturing thunder will never reach its peak."

"Can we just wait, Bi?" Raikage Ai raised his hand with a sad expression, and gently touched Kirabi's fist.

"It is better to lie dormant for a while than to flow into a river of blood and disperse the thunder."

Kirabi grinned, as if he wanted to convey his current optimistic mood to his brother.

"You are very optimistic..." Lei Ying shook his head helplessly.

"If the family is united, why worry about not being able to swim upstream?" Kirabi's smile was still optimistic, "With my brother here, Kumogakure will be the most united shinobi village. If we work together, destiny will follow."

…

Iwagakure Village.

"Kaguya Rei... is really a more terrifying enemy than Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama."

Onoki sighed and slowly walked towards the Iwagakure village below where the lights were being re-lit. When the tall Huangtu saw Onoki showing such a rare expression of loneliness, he took the initiative to walk towards the short old man. By his side, he walked with him towards Onoki's residence.

"Am I a little behind the times, Huang Tu?"

"Why do you suddenly feel this way, father?"

"Probably because I saw the official start of the second Senju Hashirama era, and couldn't help but think of the fact that I am an old man who has completely experienced the previous era."

At this point, Onoki stopped, looked down at the wrinkled and spotted back of his hand with emotion, touched his aching waist, and sighed slowly:

"A stubborn old man like me who came from the chaotic era of the Warring States Period may really have to give up in the face of the coming new era..."

"But on the other hand, you have completely experienced and witnessed Senju Hashirama's creation of the turbulent era of the shinobi village system from the chaotic times of the Warring States Period. This experience will be of great help to Iwagakure Village in the competition in the next new era. It should also be helpful to gain a foothold and develop, right?”

Loess half-bent, stretched out his big hand, which was much more generous than his father's, and put it on the back of Onoki's hand. He said sincerely to Onoki, who was in a somewhat depressed mood:

"At least in my opinion, father, both in terms of brain power and strength, you are far from the point where you have to admit defeat."

"...If I continue to sit down in the Tsuchikage's position, the entire Iwagakure might become as stubborn and conservative as me."

"Even if the stone is a little stubborn, it's not a bad thing, father."

Listening to Loess's particularly unmotivated comfort, Onoki shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the people below who were returning home under the guidance of the Iwagakure ninjas, and couldn't help but reappear on the old faces. A little smile comes.

"Forget it, just think of it as buying some time for the children who will be born and grow up when the new era comes..."

"That's great of you to think about it."

"Come on, Loess, if you are a little ambitious, Iwagakure Village will be the fourth generation by now..."

"Well……"

Huang Tu smiled awkwardly and looked around with a stiff face as he stood up.

…

Sand Hidden Village.

"Is Gaara asleep, Garuru?"

"Well, I've fallen asleep. I slept much more quietly than before."

Although he still looked a little bad, Gaara, who did not die from childbirth after all, walked out of his youngest son Gaara's room and looked at Rasa, who was standing under the bright moonlight, looking up at the sky, with a gentle expression. said:

"When I heard Granny Chiyo say that the full moon tends to arouse the ferocity of tailed beasts, I was worried that Shukaku would become restless... It's great to be able to let Gaara have a good sleep."

"……Yeah?"

Luo Sha turned around, walked forward with a somewhat guilty expression, hugged his wife, who had saved her life by relying on the secret medicine resold from Yuyin Village, and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"Sorry, I made a wrong decision..."

"People are bound to make mistakes, especially in matters where no one can predict what will happen in the future," Gaara stroked her husband's hair with a soft tone, "Let Gaara become Shukaku's jinchūriki. This matter is something I have agreed to myself, so don’t take all the responsibility on yourself, Luo Sha.”

"But Gaara..."

"Times have changed, haven't they?" Garura hugged Rasa tightly and said something that would have been laughed at as naive in the past, but has great feasibility in the future, "If Sunagakure can't solve this problem, Question, we can also ask for help on the platform of 'Xiao', or even ask for help from the one who just stopped the moon..."

"But if you do this, Sunagakure, wouldn't you be getting too close to them?"

"It's not an unacceptable bad thing to get closer to Kirigakure and Akatsuki, who are about to build a new era, right?" Garuru

"……really."

After finishing speaking, Luo Sha looked up again at the bright moon in the sky, which had gradually returned to its original position, and laughed bitterly at herself.

In the face of changing times, choices made based on past experience will inevitably make mistakes.

Fortunately, the coming new era allows me to make up for this mistake in a new era way.

…

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

The Kirigakure ninjas who witnessed that miraculous scene cheered for joy, not only cheering for their omnipotent Mizukage, but also celebrating the smooth future of Kirigakure Village.

Many shops that had been closed at night have reopened, providing a venue for those ninjas who were too excited to sleep because of the miracle that Master Mizukage had just completed to cheer and express their feelings.

And perhaps because they were overly happy, the Konoha ninjas who were full of shock and needed to be digested were also pulled by the surrounding Kirigakure ninjas to join today's carnival, although most of them were a little overwhelmed and wanted to refuse. But when the black-haired man wearing the ancient armor from the Warring States Period laughed and joined the cheering team, they had no choice but to put away their words of rejection, and joined the spontaneous party half helplessly, half with enjoyment. celebration.

Outside Kirigakure Village, in the cave where Vulpix lives.

Kaguya Rei, who was still dressed in a white magatama robe, walked out of the new time and space barrier created by the Tsangikangan, and greeted Terumi Mei with a smile on her face, who looked surprised.

"Why do you look so surprised? Don't you want to see me at this time?"

"...I thought you would go back to the village first to amplify the impact of this incident."

"Just do that kind of thing later, don't rush it for a while."

Kaguya Rei landed in front of Terumi Mei as lightly as a feather in the wind, stretched out her hand to her, and said with a gentle smile:

"Now, I have to deal with the things that were delayed due to various reasons first."

"May I?"

"is it not OK?"

"But I'm just an ordinary person with no special bloodline...is that really okay?"

"Where do you think the ninja clans like Uchiha, Senju, Hinata, and Kaguya came from?"

Kaguya Rei raised her eyebrows, and hugged Terumi Mei, who was standing still, into her arms, and then poked the other person's small waist that suddenly stiffened. When Terumi Mei softly exclaimed, she looked teasingly. said:

"Let me tell you, my chakra is almost zero now, and my physical strength is not much used up. The only chance to defeat me in this life is right in front of me. Just tell me whether you want it or not?"

"Now!? Right here!?" Terumi Mei's face suddenly turned red and her words became stammering.

"Wherever you want to be, be there~"

Kaguya whistled frivolously, then put her arms around Terumi Mei's waist, and with gentle movements like the wind and clouds, he took her up to the clear and cloudless sky, and hugged her tightly as she nervously At that time, he laughed heartily and said:

"Look down, Terumi Mei! Come with me and embrace everything that belongs to me——"

"At this moment, I can be the freest and most willful person in the world for you!!!"

I feel like I have to go back quickly after the festival. I always feel a little too relaxed when coding in my hometown and I can’t muster the energy to do it.
