Chapter 100 The Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura (Subscription Request)
The shower in the bathroom was working hard, and the hot water accompanied by steaming mist kept pouring on the boy's body.

Jiu Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the horrific wounds on his body.

Xun really tried to kill me last time...

But thinking that this was what he deserved, Jiu Xing stopped paying attention to him.

After experiencing this near-death experience, Jiu Xing was really convinced.

This is really a beating to death...

Seeing that she was almost done washing, Jiu Xing picked up the clean towel next to her and wiped herself clean.

It has been more than a month since my last hospitalization.

A lot happened during this period.

The most important thing is that the news of the death of the Sandaime Mizukage has been clearly understood by other major countries.

Jiu Xing was not surprised by this.

At that time, the Third Mizukage was already at the end of his strength, so how could he withstand his hateful attack with the Tailed Beast Ball?

Not only did the Third Mizukage die, but only one in ten of the thousands of ninja troops survived that one Tailed Beast Ball.

It can be said that the Hidden Mist Village has completely fallen from the altar of the five major ninja villages.

The newly appointed Fourth Mizukage is called Karatachi Yagura.

That is the perfect Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails in the original work.

This Karutagi Yagura and the village elder Yuanshi went against all odds and submitted the alliance letter to Konoha at the first possible moment, hoping that Konoha could save the Hidden Mist Village, whose strength had dropped to its historical low.

In return, the Water Nation will open all sea areas and trading ports between the two countries to the Fire Nation free of charge, and all industries will be fully tax-free to the Fire Nation, and there will be certain preferential policies.

There is also a willingness to donate 40% of the benefits to the Water Country free of charge every year.

And because of the previous "misunderstanding" of the Byakugan, he was willing to give 2 billion ryo to compensate the Konoha ninja.

After receiving the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately went to the capital of the Fire Country to discuss the matter with the Fire Country Daimyo.

I have to say that Master Yuan is a ruthless person.

This covenant appears to be an alliance, but in fact it is a letter of surrender.

Except for the cession of land and the establishment of garrison troops, they basically occupied everything.

But he had to do it.

The Water Country is not as powerful as before. The Water Country has always pursued an elite policy, so the number of ninjas alone is relatively small compared to other major countries.

Jiu Xing's Tailed Beast Ball directly destroyed the Hidden Mist Village.

In addition, the Three-Tails and the Mizukage died in battle one after another, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki has not yet fully mastered the transformation into a tailed beast.

The Water Kingdom is now like a fish on the chopping board, and anyone can take a bite.

A month later, the four major countries had already figured out the strength of the Water Kingdom.

The Iwagakure Village was especially impatient.

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village have a deep hatred. The second generations of both sides died together in the Second Ninja World War. Not only the Hidden Iwagakure Village remembers it, but the Hidden Mist Village has not forgotten it either.

Rather than being eaten up by others, it is better to bear the pain and tear off a piece of flesh from the body to offer it to the strongest ninja village to preserve the inheritance.

Although their current situation is caused by this strongest ninja village, there is no dignity when it comes to life and death.

If it were just one person, Karutagi Yagura and Yuanshi would naturally not give up their dignity, but behind them is the inheritance of the Hidden Mist Village and the people of the Hidden Mist Village.

They had to do it.

All Konoha needs to do is to lend a helping hand and give them a hand when they are in danger.

This is a good deal, an extremely good deal.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but be tempted. If the Land of Fire is the richest country in the Ninja World.

Then the second is the Water Kingdom which relies on the sea, an endless treasure house.

The Water Country’s annual profit of 40% is an extremely tempting figure.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen even had the idea of ​​annexing it directly at this moment.

However, the road was long and the sky was high, and there was a vast ocean between the two countries, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was powerless.

Even if it was swallowed up, there would not be enough people to guard the treasure house of the Water Kingdom.

Therefore, Karutagi Yagura's understanding is more in line with Konoha's interests.

However, Goju Yagura clearly did not hide his whereabouts at all.

He arrived in the Fire Nation with great fanfare, and almost all spies from the major nations were able to gather intelligence on him.

He was certain that the Fire Nation and Konoha would not reject his letter of surrender, and the fact was just as he expected. The Fire Nation Daimyo and Sarutobi Hiruzen were simply unable to refuse this great gift.

But because of this, the news of the alliance between the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom instantly swept across the entire ninja world.

And for some unknown reason, the alliance letter, which was supposed to be top secret, was leaked by someone unknown.

In an instant, Konoha became the focus of almost all forces.

Anyone would be jealous of Konoha swallowing such a big piece of meat directly into his mouth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked indifferently at the short Fourth Mizukage sitting opposite him and said coldly:
"What does the Mizukage mean by this?"

Less than three days after the alliance was signed, almost even the beggars on the street knew the contents of the alliance. If it was not for the writing of the Fourth Mizukage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have been able to take the position of Hokage.

"What do you mean, Hokage-sama?"

Karatachi Yagura picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip slowly, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a puzzled look on his face.

"Now that Kirigakure is willing to befriend Konoha, I hope that Hokage-sama will not hurt the hearts of the people of both countries."

Seeing Karatachi Yagura's flawless answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became extremely gloomy.

Got tricked.

The Water Nation offers such a great gift, so it is impossible for it to be given to the Fire Nation for free.

In the eyes of others, the Water Country has completely become a dog of the Fire Country. If they want to swallow up the Water Country, they must face the military force of Konoha.

Maybe some smart people have seen through the compromise between the two countries, but who is willing to bet that if they attack the Water Nation, the Fire Nation will not send troops to directly attack their home base?
It's not impossible.

Because the so-called Will of Fire is prevalent in Konoha Village, among the five major countries, Konoha Village is undoubtedly the one that values ​​companions the most.

Now that the alliance between the two countries is known to everyone, if the Water Country is attacked, Konoha will remain on the sidelines.

At that time, the surging public opinion would push Konoha onto the battlefield even if it meant pushing.

With this move, Gotachibana Yagura directly tied the two grasshoppers from the Fire Country and the Water Country together on a rope.

Indirectly transformed Konoha's combat power into his own combat power!
And because the two countries are already closely united, the other three countries of Fengleitu will never allow Konoha to grow steadily.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already seen that the future Third Ninja World War will be more intense and cruel than he expected.

Originally, the five forces were attacking each other.

However, Gojo Yagura's move directly divided the five countries into two major camps. Although there are fewer tricks than before, what they have to face now is the collision of hard power.

In the future, it is very likely that the situation will evolve into one where the two countries of Water and Fire face the three countries of Wind, Earth and Thunder.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Karutagi Yagura in front of him with cold eyes, but Karutagi Yagura showed a gentle smile calmly, appearing harmless.
