I teach kendo in the ninja world

"Mizukage-sama, Goju Yagura would like to see you!"

"come in."

A baby-faced boy with green hair and purple eyes pushed open the door and saluted respectfully to the Third Mizukage.

"Yakura, take a look at this first."

The Third Mizukage threw the scroll in his hand.

"Yes, Shuiying-sama."

Yagura took the scroll, first greeted the Araki trio with his eyes, and then unfolded the scroll and started browsing.

"You go down first."

The Third Mizukage waved his hand at the three people, indicating that what happened next was beyond their level to understand.

"Yes!"

After the three people left, only the Third Mizukage and Goju Yagura were left in the office.

As Yagura watched, the gentle smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his whole person began to exude a chilling aura.

"Lord Mizukage, does Konoha... have thoughts about us?"

Yagura raised his head, and there seemed to be blood flowing in his purple pupils.

"It's not clear yet, but we have to be on guard."

The Third Mizukage coughed twice.

"Then you came to me because..."

"Do you have any idea?"

Facing Mizukage's question, Gouju Yagura thought for a while and said:

"Perhaps you can question Konoha as the Mizukage and ask them to give us an explanation?"

"Explain?"

The Third Mizukage let out a "scoff" in disdain.

"What if they insist that we got the wrong person?"

"This... shouldn't be possible, right? The Hokage is a big shot after all, and Orochimaru is not a nobody. Are they really such rogues?"

"Huh, big shot, you haven't really experienced the baptism of war, and you don't understand that for the country and the village, interests are the most important. As for face, just praise it when you need it, and throw it into the trash when you don't need it. The barrel doesn’t matter.”

The third Mizukage's eyes flashed with a sophisticated light.

"Then let's just forget it? Or let me lead a team of people to sneak into the Country of Fire to take revenge on them!"

"Yakura, you are still too young."

The Third Mizukage shook his head.

"Forget it, it's definitely not possible. If Kirigakure doesn't make a strong response to this, Konoha will think that we are weak and can be bullied, and it will definitely get worse in the future. Maybe we can bring the laboratory directly to the village.

"But it is not advisable to retaliate directly in private. If we retaliate privately, it will be equivalent to giving Konoha an excuse to attack Kirigakure openly. Although I don't want to say it, we cannot fight Konoha with our own strength. .”

Gotachibana Yagura is not really stupid, he just has little experience in the shamelessness of these politicians. The third Mizukage said this, and he naturally understood the meaning.

"So, we need an ally?"

"That's right! Konoha may be strong, but if one versus two, they have to seriously consider it."

The Third Mizukage continued his examination: "So who do you think is our first choice?"

"Hmm... It should be Kumogakure, right?"

Yagura pondered for a moment before giving the answer.

"Tell me your reasons."

"First of all, Konoha is developing amphibious soldiers this time. Only we and Kumogakure have a long coastline, so this thing poses the greatest threat to both of us.

"Secondly, the martial arts faction has always been in power in Kumogakure. If it really develops into a war with Konoha, Kumogakure will most likely not back down, so we won't be alone."

Goji Yagura clasped her fingers and said coherently.

"Finally, Iwagakure has a grudge against us. Sunagakure is too poor to support a large-scale war. Moreover, Kumogakure is the closest to us and is easy to contact."

"well said!"

The third Mizukage nodded,

"So, I want to send you to lead a team to Yunyin to make connections. Are you willing?"

"Of course!"

"Well, this can be considered an S-level mission. You pick two jonin to go with us. Don't let our Kirigakure's reputation be ruined!"

"Yes, Shuiying-sama!"

......

After the Araki trio were kicked out by Mizukage, they did not rush to leave the Mizukage building. Instead, they turned around and went to the Ninjutsu Exchange Office of the Logistics Department and began to check the list to select their favorite Ninjutsu.

At this time Yagura came over and patted Zabuza on the shoulder and said:

"Good job!"

Kisame grinned, Araki smiled, and Zabuza's face turned red, obviously a little excited.

Although in terms of age, Goju Yagura is not much older than them, but in the golden age of 10 to 20 years old, when ninjas improve their strength, a difference of one or two years may make a huge difference in strength.

For example, Araki and Zabuza, who are about 10 years old, have just become genin for less than a year, while Kisame, who is three years older than them, is about to become a jounin.But Yagura, who is slightly older than Kisame, is already an elite among the Kirigakure jounin, and it is said that he has been nominated as the jounin squad leader.

To borrow a saying from the Go world, if you don’t become a jounin at the age of 18, you will have no hope for life!

Of course, what I'm talking about here is strength, not ninja level.

Although the description is not accurate enough, the meaning is almost the same.

When a ninja's physical development matures and his learning ability is at its peak, his strength increases very rapidly.

After all, chakra is not like internal force, which can be stored more and more. The amount of chakra is directly related to the physical condition. After old age and physical weakness, not only will chakra not increase, but it will become worse. in the past.

So if you fail to seize this golden time period, it means that the person's qualifications are just that, and it will be really difficult to make a breakthrough later.

"I came to you three because you discovered the matter this time. Now I want to lead a team to the Kingdom of Thunder and need help. Are you willing to come?"

Yagura briefly explained his mission, and then extended an invitation to Team Kisame.

"We can go too? But didn't you say you wanted to take Shinobu with you?"

Zabuza was excited at first, then confused.

"Isn't Kisame a special jounin?"

Goji Yagura smiled slightly:

"In particular, a jounin is also a jounin, and I can rest assured about Kisame's strength. As for you, you will naturally be useful."

"Then of course we go!"

Zabuza was the first to agree.

"Since Lord Yagura trusts you, of course we have no problem."

Kisame also nodded.

"It would be good to go and see Kumogakure's swordsmanship."

Araki stayed consistent with his teammates.

"Okay! Although we went to Yunyin this time to discuss forming an alliance, the warlike style of the Kingdom of Thunder is prevalent, and you will inevitably encounter challenges. When the time comes, just feel free to fight. As long as no lives are lost, everything will be done by I'll carry it!"

There was a strong sense of confidence in Goju Yagura's words.

As a famous genius boy in Kirigakure Village, and can even be said to be the leader of the younger generation of ninjas, Gotachibana Yagura is not a weakling.

Moreover, during the period before the Third World War, Kirigakure Village could be said to be in a state of unprecedented prosperity.

Although the blood mist policy was criticized, the third generation Mizukage was still rational after all, and would not be as bloody and cruel as the fourth generation Mizukage controlled by Obito in the future to the point of amputating his own limbs.

Therefore, although such a policy has caused the ninjas in Kirigakure to lack the sense of unity and companionship, the appropriate bloodshed has also given birth to many outstanding civilian ninjas, such as the current Seven Ninja Swordsmen.Except for the Oniden family who still wields the [Double Swords and Flounders], the owners of the other six ninja swords are all civilians or people from small families.

In other respects, the three major blood successor secret arts families, Oniden, Yuki, and Kaguya, are still there, and the Three-Tails and Six-Tails jinchūriki are also staying safely in the village.

So just looking at it on paper, it is no exaggeration to say that in terms of high-end combat power, Kirigakure Village is worthy of anyone, even Konoha!

From the perspective of the next generation, a large number of young geniuses such as Kisame Inigaki, Zabuza Momochi, Mangetsu Kito, Araki, etc. are also growing rapidly, and it can be said that the inheritance is orderly.

At this time, Kirigakure Village does not need to have too many scruples.
