"of course it's true."
Zabuza said without thinking.
"When I walked through the thick fog just now, I already discovered that the Kirigakure Village now is no longer the village it was back then."
"On this journey, I have seen many mist ninjas, all of whom are only at chuunin level."
"The number of Jonin can be counted on one's fingers."
"There are also the fog ninjas lurking in this room. Their strength is generally only chuunin."
"You are not so naive as to think that just these Kirito ninjas can stop me, Kijin Zabuza, right?"
Zabuza's tone was very calm.
It seemed like he was just stating an ordinary trivial matter.
However, in his opinion, Elder Yuan is old at best and has not yet reached the level of Alzheimer's disease.
He should know better than the people in the village how strong he is.
If he really had murderous intentions, the mist ninjas lurking here wouldn't be able to do anything.
In an instant, he can end the battle.
And once Elder Yuan is killed here, most of the other Mist Ninjas will lose their will to fight.
Even if he doesn't lose his will to fight, it doesn't matter.
The Konoha ninjas who followed him here were generally at the Jonin level.
There are also many elite Jonin.
Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan.
Their fighting prowess can be said to be the mainstay of Konoha Hidden Village.
Once the war broke out, Zabuza was 100% sure that he would capture Kirigakure Village in just one day.
Zabuza showed a strong attitude, causing a subtle change in Elder Yuan's expression.
Yes.
As the elder of Kirigakure Village, Yuan is not an optimist.
If Zabuza just thinks about it a little, he will know that with his ability, he can really do this.
However……
Zabuza did not use that extreme method to assassinate himself.
Instead, he sat in Mizukage's office and patiently explained to himself.
his thoughts.
The attitude of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Actually...
Elder Yuan is also very clear in his heart that he is the senior leader of Kirigakure Village.
There was no choice.
This is the result of the gap in strength between the two sides.
He himself had no ability to stop Zabuza.
As Zabuza finished speaking, Elder Yuan could not help but fall into silence.
He looked at Zabuza now.
I already trusted Zabuza's words 100% in my heart.
Zabuza didn't say anything more, but sat on the chair and observed the changes in Elder Qiyuan's expression.
He knew in his heart that his words had greatly touched Elder Yuan.
Moreover, the balance in Elder Yuan's heart has gradually tilted towards him.
but……
Elder Yuan did not directly agree to Zabuza's conditions.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"What's Konoha's attitude toward the daimyo of the Land of Water?"
No matter how you say it, a daimyo is the symbol of a country and the supreme leader of a country.
As an elder, I also watched the current daimyo grow up.
As far as he knew, the first thing Konoha Hidden Village did after capturing the Kingdom of Thunder was to execute the daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder.
Not only that, even the daimyo of the Fire Country was forced out of the daimyo position by Zefeng.
Apparently Zephyr is preparing to abolish all daimyo.
"It all depends on the daimyo's attitude."
Zabuza thought for a moment and said, "If the daimyo is willing to give up his position and stop interfering in political affairs, the Hokage of Konoha will be happy to let the daimyo go."
"Of course, in addition to his own property, the Daimyo of Water Kingdom must hand over all other finances."
Zabuza answered very simply.
But it also expresses another layer of meaning.
If the Daimyo of the Land of Water is willing to show his dignity, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Kazuya, is still happy to show him respect.
If the daimyo is obsessed with his former power, he may even want to resist.
As the new manager of Kirigakure Village, Zabuza could only assassinate the daimyo.
There is no room for retreat on this issue.
"so……"
Elder Yuan sighed lightly. To a certain extent, this was already a pretty good arrangement.
Moreover, with the financial resources that the daimyo currently possesses, even if he hands over other financial powers.
It's enough to enjoy your old age.
In this way, as an elder, he is not indebted to the other party.
"However, if we choose to submit to the Hidden Leaf Village, will the Konoha ninja troops you brought also stay in the village?"
At this moment, Elder Yuan changed the topic and spoke again, asking about Zabuza's arrangements for other Konoha ninjas.
Although the roles were reversed, he would make the same arrangements and decisions, but in his heart, he still had some illusions about unrealistic things.
For example, the military strength of Kirigakure Village will be taken care of by the young people in the village.
Those Konoha ninjas who followed Zabuza here will return the same way.
Return to Konoha Hidden Village.
but……
How could Hefeng regress in this kind of thing?
Zabuza even shook his head immediately, saying that he was powerless about this matter.
"Not only will they remain in the village, but they will also establish an initial guard force."
"They will be responsible for all the future military capabilities of Kirigakure Village."
According to Zabuza.
These Konoha ninjas are different from the ANBU system of the past.
The ANBU system will be directly led and appointed by the Kage in the village.
But the guard team will be led by a dedicated captain.
To a certain extent, even if it is the shadow's order, the guard will not obey it unconditionally.
Instead, you choose whether to execute it based on whether it is correct.
certainly……
If Kirigakure is willing not to break out of war, submit to Konoha Hidden Village.
Part of the ANBU system of the past can also be properly preserved.
And it is directly led by Zabuza.
However, Zabuza's words made Elder Yuan not only frown.
Because according to his understanding, this security team simply wanted to take advantage of Zabuza.
As the manager of a ninja village, he does not have absolute control over military power.
In case there is any conflict in the future.
Wouldn't Zabuza be led by the other party's lead?
"This is not a good thing, Zabuza."
Elder Yuan couldn't help but complained. He couldn't accept such a thing.
However, Zabuza felt that these things didn't matter.
He is not obsessed with military power.
The only thing he wants to do is to lead Kirigakure Village to a new era of prosperity.
And Zabuza felt that these ninjas sent by Zephyr were sincere and wanted to complete the great cause of unifying the ninja world.
You should have no problem working with them.
"Before returning to the village, I lived in Konoha Hidden Village for a long time, and I promulgated various policies regarding the Fifth Hokage and Kaze."
"We also understand the system of the police force."
"I believe this system will not affect the development of Kirigakure Village."
Zabuza even felt that the security team was in charge of the village's security issues.
I can completely focus on the development of the village.
There is also the matter of the ninjas from Kirigakure Village going to Konoha Hidden Village.
From Zabuza's point of view, there is no problem.
In fact, Kirigakure would not be the first village to be asked like this.
The former Cloud Hidden Village and Sand Hidden Village.
There are also ninja villages in other small countries, and their ninjas have also gone to Konoha Hidden Village.
Zefeng did not have any prejudice against these ninjas, but instead welcomed them sincerely.
Moreover, it's not like these mist ninjas can't come back.
They can also choose not to join the ANBU of Konoha.
Or take the exam and go to work in the Kirigakure Village Guard Team.
Even the name Kirigakure Village was not planned to be changed by Zefeng.
Still let them use this name.
At most, the name Water Country was replaced by Water City.
Rao is the elder Yuan, and Hefeng has no intention of letting him withdraw from the top political positions of the village.
As long as you don't approve it.
He is still the elder of Kirigakure Village.
Zabuza said these words clearly.
I have to say that having himself serve as the elder of Kirigakure Village was beyond Yuan's expectations.
He thought that Hefeng would deprive himself of his power even if he didn't want to deal with him.
Kick him out of Kirigakure's senior ranks, or even out of Kirigakure.
As a result, what he never imagined in his wildest dreams was that Ze Feng would actually make such a request.
"is this real?"
Feeling unbelievable, Elder Yuan asked Zabuza almost instinctively.
"Replacement guaranteed."
Zabuza answered without hesitation.
If it weren't for Zefeng's extremely high sincerity.
Nor would he return here as a messenger of persuasion.
"Maybe Zephyr won't be a good person to you."
"However, during the time I was in contact with Hefeng, I felt an unprecedented level of trust."
"And a new wheel of history."
"The most important thing is that Zefeng is still very young. His plans and blueprints will not cease because of his death."
Zabuza spoke again.
In his opinion, Zephyr is not only a genius in the ninja world, but also a rare genius in a century.
And among all the ninjas he has ever met, he is the most eager for peace and the smartest.
Today's Hefeng is only twenty-one years old.
With his physical condition, there would be no problem if he lived to be sixty or seventy years old.
Only fifty years were enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the ninja world.
If it weren't for these various elements, Zabuza would not be so eager to believe in Zefeng and work hard for the great cause he said.
Elder Yuan fell into silence again.
It can be said that he has a good understanding of Zabuza's character.
It's rare that Buza can have such a huge evaluation of Zefeng.
It seems that the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village really has a great side.
However……
Just when Elder Yuan was about to agree to Zabuza, the entire Mizukage office began to shake violently.
Even the water glass on his table fell with a plop, rolled off the table, and finally fell to the ground with a pop.
Facing this sudden scene, Elder Yuan and Zabuza widened their eyes almost at the same time.
None of them expected that such a change would suddenly occur.
Could it be that the Konoha ninja outside could not wait any longer and launched an attack on the village?
Elder Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart for no apparent reason.
"What happened?"
Zabuza also became nervous. This was the first time he had experienced such violent shaking.
Almost as an instinctive reaction of his body, Zabuza grabbed the decapitating sword behind him.
Kicking hard with both feet, he passed Elder Yuan on the spot and crashed into the glass of Mizukage's office.
The ANBU ninjas who were ambushing in the room were also worried that something had happened, emerged from the shadows, and caught up with Zabuza.
Rao was Elder Yuan. He also dragged his old body and walked towards the window, wanting to see what happened.
soon……
Everyone in the office, except Elder Yuan, came outside.
Elder Yuan also looked outside through the broken window.
It wasn't that the Konoha ninjas who had followed Zabuza here couldn't bear it and launched an attack on the village.
But the whole village, not knowing what happened, began to shake.
Some buildings, unable to withstand such violent shaking, began to fall apart and collapse to the outside world.
Even in the sky, a huge black crack appeared.
It's like a doomsday scene where the earth is falling apart.
Zabuza held the beheading sword tightly in one hand while looking at the cracked sky.
The two eyes were wider and rounder than a cow's eyes.
He even wondered if he had hallucinated something, or if he was under someone's illusion.
Otherwise...
How could it be possible to see such an exaggerated and outrageous picture.
Sky……
It will crack!
"Here, what on earth is going on?"
"Is this also Konoha's fault?"
"Konoha? No matter how outrageous Konoha is, it is impossible to do such a thing, tear the sky apart, this is simply the power of God."
The ANBU ninjas who rushed out of the Mizukage's office couldn't help but start talking.
Some people even doubted whether this was the fault of the Hokage of Konoha.
But such a thing was quickly denied by them.
If only the Hokage of Konoha could do such an outrageous thing.
Then he wouldn't be Hokage.
That is simply God in the true sense of the word.
"Zabuza, do you know what's going on?"
Elder Yuan couldn't help but take a breath, hoping that Zabuza could give him an explanation.
But……
Now Zabuza is in an unprecedented state of shock. How can he possibly give Elder Yuan an explanation?
In his opinion, this kind of thing has far exceeded his knowledge!
Completely shattered his own outlook on life.
but……
Just when Zabuza was about to shake his head, he stared into the sky.
Suddenly I saw a very astonishing sight.
The picture that appeared in the torn sky was not endless darkness.
If you look carefully, you can see a sea.
The magnificent sea.
In an instant, Zabuza couldn't help but recall the prophecy that Zefeng once told him.
"Could it be that……"
Zabuza rolled his throat and swallowed nervously.
