Wood Leaf, Naruto's office.
"I didn't expect the news to spread so fast …"
Both Uchiha Yan and Minato stared at the information on the table with a dignified expression.
The information about the shocking change in the Mist spread throughout the Shinobi World in just a few days.
The Fourth Mizukage died, and so did the Sanbi.
Losing the Mizukage and the Bijuu one after another, this situation is even worse than the Third Kazekage being assassinated before the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War.
"They didn't mention anything about the Fourth Mizukage being manipulated, are they afraid of attracting the attention of other countries?"
Watergate's eyes drooped slightly, obviously, this information couldn't have come from the Mist Village, the one behind it must be the masked man who manipulated the Mizukage.
The Mizukage being manipulated, in addition to Wood Leaf and the Mist, other countries will also pay great attention to it.
In this case, if they want to continue to carry out unknown plans in secret, it will be troublesome.
However, this information was something that neither the Mist nor Konoha could disclose to the public.
Naturally, the Mist Village wanted to preserve their reputation and status as much as possible. If Konoha spread this news, not only would they become enemies with the Mist Village, but more importantly, the Mist Village's higher-ups would notice that Konoha's ninjas and the Mist Ninjas were having dealings with each other.
This is quite disadvantageous for Empress Shōmei to succeed the position of the Fifth Mizukage.
"But in any case, this time we won a complete victory, and the enemy has completely lost the power of the Mist."
Uchiha Yan laughed, the remaining problems are left for the Mist, and for Wood Leaf, they have eliminated a huge hidden danger.
"Is that so?" Watergate had other plans in his mind, and the dignified expression on his face didn't diminish.
"Indeed, we removed the enemy's power in the Mist, but they deliberately spread this information to other countries, causing new troubles."
"Now that the Mist is weak, except for the Sand and the Wind, the Rock and Kumo Shinobu will definitely not let go of this opportunity to loot the burning house …"
"I'm afraid that at this moment, the advisors in our village are also starting to think about this matter."
"Although there is a peace treaty between countries, everyone knows that it's just empty words, taking advantage of the weakness of the other villages should be inevitable, right?" Uchiha Yan shrugged, although they helped the Mist this time, he believed that the latter also understood the truth that the weak will always be bullied.
In this respect, the Fire and Wood Leaf don't need to be too kind.
"If it's just a dispute between countries, there's no problem with doing this, but once the Mist and the Mist recover, they will inevitably hold a grudge." Watergate said.
"So what, with their strength, they don't have the courage to blame the other countries, right?" Uchiha Yan said.
Watergate's eyes sank, and said: "Of course, but if that's the case, although it's impossible to break out a world war, the friction between the five major countries will increase day by day."
"Everyone is focusing on this kind of thing, so it's much more convenient for the masked man to act."
The masked man and the others released the information, obviously, it's not as simple as just attacking the Mist.
Their ultimate goal is to create estrangement between the five major countries, and gradually increase the number of conflicts between them.
"What a gloomy idea …"
Uchiha Yan's eyes trembled slightly, he didn't think of this layer, it's not that he's not as smart as Watergate, but it's a problem of vision.
As Naruto's people, of course, his thinking is different from ordinary ninjas.
"We can't let them succeed, otherwise, the situation will become difficult to control."
"Yes." Watergate nodded and frowned: "But … the specific approach must be cautious."
First of all, using the power of the Fire Country and Wood Leaf to deter Kumo Shinobu and the Rock Ninja to give up the fat meat in their mouths is absolutely impossible.
Although Wood Leaf is now the strongest among the five major villages, if they use this method, the two countries will inevitably resent each other.
The only way left is to form an alliance with the Water Country.
In this way, the Water Country and the Mist can use the name of the Fire Country and Wood Leaf to deter the other two countries.
"If we form an alliance, I'm afraid that our advisors won't agree so easily …" Uchiha Yan smiled faintly.
"It's not difficult for the advisors, but if we form an alliance with the Water Country now, the masked man and the others will inevitably release the information to the world again."
Watergate said. He once sneaked into the Mist to perform a secret mission, and the secret negotiations between Wood Leaf and the Mist can't be hidden.
"As long as Empress Shōmei becomes the Fifth Mizukage, with the power of both sides, it will be easy to suppress this rumor."
The enemy has no conclusive evidence to prove that Wood Leaf and the Mist have dealings, so even if this news spreads to the world, it won't prove anything.
"Well, the key to this matter is that Empress Shōmei can smoothly become the Fifth Mizukage." Watergate nodded.
"With Empress Shōmei's current status in the Mist, becoming the Fifth Mizukage is only a matter of time, right?"
Uchiha Yan said. This incident undoubtedly made Empress Shōmei's prestige in the Mist reach the peak.
"Don't underestimate our enemy. After all, he has been in the Mist for many years. Although his power has been weakened, there is no guarantee that he doesn't have other means."
Watergate said in a deep voice. The masked man was able to escape under the siege of him and Wood Leaf, so he wasn't an ordinary person.
"You mean …" Uchiha Yan suddenly became alert, and his eyes trembled.
"I'm afraid that when the news of the Mist's upheaval spread to the world, someone has already made a move against Empress Shōmei …"
...
The outside world already knew about the Mist's secret, but the Mist itself didn't receive any information because of its geographical location.
In the past few days, under the pacification of the Mist Village, the situation in the Village calmed down.
In today's high-level meeting, Empress Shōmei was elected as the candidate for the Fifth Mizukage.
Empress Shōmei's goal since childhood was to change the Mist Village, so she accepted everyone's recommendation. Although she hasn't been officially appointed yet, she has already begun to exercise her authority as the Mizukage.
Empress Shōmei changed her Anbu uniform into a light blue dress.
She put on the Mizukage's hat and returned to her residence alone.
At night, the streets of the Mist Village were filled with mist, and the visibility was extremely low.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, in the darkness, there was a sound of wind breaking, and the speed was extremely fast, and it was heading towards Empress Shōmei!
