Chapter 85 Who Will Be the Fourth Mizukage in the Future?
Because the Hozuki clan invested too many resources and energy in Hozuki Mangetsu.
It was like an investment, but it went bankrupt.
On the other side, the Red Sand Scorpion of the Sand Village was in a similar situation.
With the title of genius puppeteer, and the grandson of Chiyo, he had a good reputation.
Many people thought that the Red Sand Scorpion would be a very suitable candidate for the Fourth Kazekage.
But the sudden disappearance of the Third Kazekage forced the Sand Village to choose Rasa.
Because the Red Sand Scorpion was not old enough, not strong enough, and not experienced enough.
At this time, many people in the Sand Village felt that the Red Sand Scorpion could not be the Fourth Kazekage, and being the Fifth Kazekage would be great.
However, the Red Sand Scorpion failed their expectations.
Before the Third Kazekage disappeared, the Red Sand Scorpion only occasionally left quietly, but would still come back.
But after the Third Kazekage disappeared, the Red Sand Scorpion never came back.
The resources and energy invested by the Sand Village in the Red Sand Scorpion were wasted.
When the people of the Sand Village in the future know that the Third Kazekage was killed by the Red Sand Scorpion, they will only regret the village's investment in the Red Sand Scorpion.
The resources required by the puppet master are much more than those of a normal ninja.
In terms of the relationship with her brother, Suzuran and Hozuki Kizuki have great similarities.
"But now, Suigetsu Kizuki should only be one or two years old."
"Older than Naruto and Sasuke, but not much older."
"Sasuke is already born, but Naruto is not."
"Based on previous experience, there should be no problem with the compatibility between Nautilus and Suigetsu Kizuki Kizuki."
"But there are two problems."
"One is that Suigetsu Kizuki, who got the Nautilus, cannot realize his strength in a short period of time. He needs a long time to grow, much longer than Ringo Yuyuri, and can't provide much help to the Hidden Mist Village."
"The second is that the ninja tools cannot be fully displayed, which will not help me improve my reputation that much..."
"Forget it, let's see how many thugs we need first."
Uehara Osamu took out the blueprint again and looked down.
There are two blank hexagram patterns on it.
"Two thugs."
"Senior Ao counts as one."
"Senior Kisame and Senior Juzo are not here."
"There is no need to wait."
"Shoud I bring only one thug, or recruit another one?"
Uehara Osamu hesitated.
A figure boarded the Forge Island.
The shark-faced boy, compared to before, had a bit more fierce aura.
"Xiu."
"Kisame."
Uehara Xiu looked at Hoshigaki Kisame approaching and took a few steps to meet him.
On the other side, Qing also walked out.
"Who is this?"
Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Ringo Yuuri.
Uehara Xiu introduced: "This is Ringo Yuuri, the disciple of Juzo-senpai and the granddaughter of Mayuko-senpai."
Hoshigaki Kisame nodded, greeted, and then stopped paying attention.
Instead, he excitedly told Uehara Xiu about his experience on the battlefield.
"Xiu, do you know? Those Konoha ninjas actually gave me a nickname of Bloodthirsty Shark, which is so ugly."
"I heard that Konoha's Golden Flash is very bad at naming, and it just so happens that Hatake Kakashi is his disciple. Maybe my nickname was given by him."
"I have to find an opportunity to change this nickname in the future."
Uehara Xiu smiled.
"It's really not nice, but, Kisame, being able to let the enemy give you a nickname proves that your strength has been recognized by them and makes them afraid."
"I remember that even Konoha's Hatake Kakashi doesn't seem to have a nickname yet."
Hoshigaki Kisame shook his head.
"It's just the title of a genius."
"But there are so many geniuses."
"Even Sarutobi Asuma can get the title of a genius, but in fact, Sarutobi Asuma is not as good as that kid Momochi Zabuza, who is nothing more than the identity of the son of the Hokage."
Hoshigaki Kisame continued: "This time I killed a lot of Konoha ninjas on the battlefield."
"Lord Mizukage told me that according to my current meritorious performance, I can already be given the title of Jonin."
Uehara Osamu immediately congratulated.
The strength of the Jonin level and the title of Jonin are two different things.
Just like Naruto in the original plot.
His strength is completely above the elite Jonin, but he still has the title of Genin.
Many people in Konoha are like this.
That's why there is such a saying-Konoha's Jonin can be killed at will, and Konoha's Genin should not be provoked.
Uehara Osamu now has the strength of a special Jonin, but his ninja title is still just Genin.
But Uehara Shu doesn't need this now.
As the head of the forging department, the title of ninja is no longer important.
"It's all thanks to the Kiri Ichimonji you made."
Hoshigaki Kisame said.
"Kiri Ichimonji's ability is very strong. Even if they know the information now, they are still afraid of it. Except for a few people, few people dare to fight me in close combat."
"Moreover, because of the change in strength brought by Kiri Ichimonji, I can participate in higher-level battles."
"This has made me gain a lot."
"Now I can attach the chakra absorption technique to the long-range water escape."
"The effect is a little worse than when I'm close, but it can still threaten many people."
"By the way, Xiu, I heard about the dragon bone..."
Kisame Mikigaki patted Uehara Shu on the shoulder comfortingly.
"I didn't expect Taketori Neko to be such a person. He stole the dragon bone that you made and killed so many members of the Taketori clan. He is so vicious and inhuman."
"Xiu, don't be too sad."
"Since Mizukage-sama has issued a wanted notice, Taketori Neko will definitely not be able to act arrogantly outside for long."
"I heard that Taketori Hikari and others have left the battlefield to look for Taketori Neko."
"What they did is a bit irresponsible to their companions on the battlefield, and it also violates the village's orders. It will affect the interests of the village and the situation on the battlefield."
"But they are all elites of the Taketori clan. There is a high probability that they can defeat the Taketori cat and bring the dragon bones back to the village."
Iniki Kaki Kisame doesn't know the truth about the Taketori Neko incident.
Osamu Uehara had no explanation.
"I didn't pay much attention."
However, regarding what Kisame Makigaki said that Hikari Taketori and others would kill the Taketori cat and bring back the dragon's bones, Osamu Uehara thought it was impossible.
Taketori Neko was not the only one who took action against the Taketori clan.
The Third Mizukage will definitely not sit back and watch Taketori Hikaru and others return to Kirigakure Village alive.
Otherwise, the previous efforts against the Taketori clan would be in vain.
The absence of Taketori Hikaru and others just allowed the Third Mizukage to arrange for ANBU ninja to take action.
Now there is a high probability that Taketori Hikari and others have been killed.
"Kisame, besides Kakashi Hatake, is there anyone else on the battlefield who deserves your attention?"
Kisame Kisaki thought for a moment.
"There are actually many top experts in Konoha."
"Orochimaru among the three ninjas, Jiraiya."
"Golden Flash, Namikaze Minato."
"In this regard, our Kirigakure Village has to admit that it is slightly inferior. However, the number of hardcore ninjas in our Kirigakure Village will be more than that of Konoha, and Konoha has many enemies."
"There is a war not only with our Kirigakure Village, but also with Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village."
"Before, our side of Kirigakure Village was supported by seven people from Kirigakure."
"After the Kirigakure Seven were defeated, they experienced a period of instability and disadvantage."
"But fortunately, Yagura-senpai stood up."
"Among the younger generation, it is worth noting on the Konoha side. I know that in addition to Hatake Kakashi, there is another named Uchiha Shisui. He is very young, but his strength is not weak."
"It is said that he is a genius of the younger generation of Uchiha."
"Less than ten years old, I can already use the teleportation technique extremely well."
Osamu Uehara's brows moved slightly.
Uchiha Shisui, this is a familiar name for Shu Uehara.
In the original plot, he doesn't appear much, but his presence is very strong.
Moreover, when it comes to the Taketori clan and Taketori Masui, the familiarity that Uehara Shu feels comes from Uchiha Shisui, and Uehara Shu feels that the two are very similar.
The stances, attitudes, and ideas are all very similar.
Even the names are similar.
Kisame Kisaki continued: "I heard that the Sharingan has been opened."
"In the future, this Uchiha Shisui will most likely become our Kirigakure Village's formidable enemy."
Thinking of this, Mikigaki Kisame suddenly had a bizarre idea.
"Xiu, they all say that our Taketori clan in Kirigakure Village is very similar to the Uchiha clan in Konoha."
"You said, if a being similar to Taketori Neko appears in the Uchiha clan and severely damages the Uchiha clan, is it possible?"
"That would be great if that's the case."
Iniki Kaki Kisame's words perfectly explained what stand means.
Without knowing the truth, on the surface, Taketori Neko is indeed a very cruel person.
Inikigaki Kisame didn't want such a person to appear in Kirigakure Village.
Even Mikigaki Kisame himself didn't like the Taketori clan.
However, from Mikigaki Kisame's point of view, the Taketori clan is still a member of the Kirigakure Village.
But for Uchiha, Inikaki Kisame even expected someone like that to appear.
"Maybe it's really possible."
Osamu Uehara said.
But in his heart, Uehara Shu said - not that it is possible, but that such a thing will happen.
——As long as there is no big butterfly effect caused by oneself.
Osamu Uehara felt that it was unlikely that he would influence the night of the Uchiha genocide.
One is that Osamu Uehara is a member of Kirigakure Village, so it is impossible for him to get involved for Uchiha.
The second is that even if you participate, you may not be able to change it.
After all, the conflict between Uchiha and the top management of Konoha did not happen in a day or two.
But they have been grudges for a long time.
Many things are not accidental, but destined.
"Kissame, have you gone back to the Gansaki clan to see it?"
Kisame Kisaki nodded.
"I've already gone back to see it."
Kisame Kisaki couldn't help but complain.
"Originally, I didn't want to go back this time. The time has come, but according to Mizukage-sama, I can continue to stay on the battlefield as long as I want."
"But the family asked me to come back, and I heard about the Taketori clan, so I rushed back. I thought that the family was also affected by the Taketori cat incident."
"I didn't expect that when they asked me to come back, they actually asked me to get engaged to a woman from the Gouji family."
Hearing this, Uehara Osamu was also stunned for a moment.
Osamu Uehara remembered that in the original plot, Inikisaki Kisame did not have a fiancée.
He just had some interaction with a kunoichi from the Intelligence Department when he was carrying out Konoha's intelligence transport mission.
Inikisaki Kisame showed a complete lack of interest in women.
But after thinking about it, Osamu Uehara felt that it was only reasonable for the Inakisaki family to make such an arrangement.
The Mikigaki family is a small ninja family, but it is also a ninja family.
For a ninja family, heirs and inheritance are very important.
Moreover, compared with the original plot, the current performance of Iniki Kakisame is much better.
In the original plot, Inigaki Kisame performed well among the younger generation of Kirigakure Village, but in terms of reputation, he was far from comparable to Kakashi.
But now, Kisame Kisaki's reputation in the ninja world surpasses Kakashi's.
"Bloody Shark!"
"The eighth sword of Kirigakure!"
It can be said that as long as he does not die, everyone will think that Kisame Inogaki will become one of the famous ninjas in the ninja world in the future and enter the upper echelons of Kirigakure Village.
Therefore, the Ingaki clan will be particularly concerned about the marriage status of Ingaki Kisame.
And other ninja families will also be interested in dried persimmon Kisame.
Uehara Osamu thought in his mind.
"The Ingaki family definitely wants to use Ingaki Kisame to spread the family's influence and enhance the family's strength."
"Then, another good ninja family marriage would be a good choice."
"Family alliance, forming a common interest group."
"And the reason why I chose the Goji family is probably because of Goju Yagura."
It's just like what Kisame Kisaki said.
After the disastrous defeat of the Kirigakure Seven, the momentum of Kirigakure Village dropped to the bottom. The battle line continued to retreat, and the battle situation fell into a disadvantage. It was indeed Gotachibana Yagura who stood up at this time.
It didn't say that the situation was reversed, but at least it was withstood.
After that, there was the "younger generation battle" arranged by the Third Mizukage.
Relying on the performance of Ingaki Kisame and Zabuza, the momentum has been improved a bit.
Entering the upper floors of the village, Goju Yagura is 100%.
Moreover, the third Mizukage was already old. Among the stoic ninjas in Kirigakure Village, after the Kirigakure Seven suffered a disastrous defeat, it seemed that only Goju Yagura was qualified to succeed the Mizukage.
It is normal for the Ganshi family to want to marry the Gouji family.
"Now that the war is not over and the situation is still uncertain, how can I waste my time on such a thing?"
"For this reason, let me come back."
"The people in the family are narrow-minded."
Osamu Uehara said without echoing Inikisaki Kisame.
"It's understandable that they would have such thoughts. Speaking of which, Kisame, do you have a girl you like?"
The world of Naruto is mostly precocious.
Logically speaking, dried persimmon Kisame should also have it.
"No."
Kisame Kisaki said righteously: "I just want to become stronger, help the village, and win this war."
Immediately, Inigaki Kisame showed suspicious eyes.
"Xiu, do you have a crush on some girl?"
