The Victor Is King, the Defeated Are Bandits-Such Is the Way of Things
Naturally, the things that Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, does are unimaginable.
Even with Qing's help and the staff she had trained, she still felt somewhat powerless.
For five whole days, she worked day and night, but the number of documents on her desk did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it seemed to be increasing, which made Mei Terumi a sense of 'despair'!
"The position of Mizukage is indeed not one that just anyone can hold!"
Mei Terumi rubbed her temples, her face still somewhat pale, and sighed.
His forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and he looked a little strained!
She's acting while injured! Her injury shows absolutely no signs of healing, nor does it seem to be getting worse!
If she could, she certainly wouldn't want to! She also wanted to recover from her injuries and lead Kirigakure in top condition!
But there was nothing she could do; fate didn't give her time to recover!
As things stand, she has to fight despite her injuries to ensure the normal operation of Kirigakure and to clear the 'channels' of Kirigakure!
Kirigakure needs a leader to unite everyone in the Kirigakure and give them confidence and hope to move forward!
Otherwise, Kirigakure, already riddled with problems, would really 'collapse'!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Liangnai, the great hero, was not idle either!
He has a lot to do!
For example, dealing with prisoners of war Yagura and Utakata! Or winning over the surrendered Mist Ninja, putting them at ease so they don't have to be anxious and create new conflicts and problems.
And this kind of thing is most suitable to be left to him!
He has already done his job of intimidating people with his red face; he has enough deterrent power!
Next, it was his turn to play the "bad cop," offering benefits and appeasing people!
Using both kindness and severity is the timeless method for winning people's hearts!
"Kisame Hoshigaki, how about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? I did it! Kirigakure is about to usher in new hope, Bloody Mist Village will become history!"
After calming down the surrendered crowd, he went to Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kisame Hoshigaki is a fighter that Ye Liangnai highly!
"You truly kept your word, as expected of you, Ye Liangnai! In that case, I entrust my life to you!"
Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and said, "Who will own the Samehada? Besides me, are there any other contenders?"
According to the ancient rule of Kirigakure, whoever defeats the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will inherit the Ninja Blade and become the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
Of course, if someone feels they are strong enough to compete for the Ninja Blade, then a new competition will be held to determine the final winner.
"There isn't one yet, and there's no one more suitable to Samehada than you!"
"The Samehada and you are the perfect match!"
Even if there are challengers, Mizukage Mei Terumi and Ye Liangnai would not agree.
Kisame Hoshigaki made a great contribution in this great battle, and no one would be so foolish as to challenge Kisame Hoshigaki.
After all, there are still several other Ninja Blade in Kirigakure that have no successors!
Instead of competing with Kisame Hoshigaki, why not compete with the other Ninja Blade!
"I wonder if the Mizukage will replenish the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. That would be quite an interesting thing!"
Kisame Hoshigaki spoke, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Hehe, it should be soon. Of course we won't waste such an advantage!"
Replenishing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is one of the things that must be done.
After all, this can make Kirigakure much stronger!
No secret can stay hidden forever; the great battle in Kirigakure could not be kept from others.
It seems that many forces are already starting to stir, eager to take a bite out of Kirigakure!
"I'm actually looking forward to someone stepping forward, hehe, that would be a good opportunity to test the power of this Samehada!"
Kisame Hoshigaki is like a warmonger, actually hoping someone will defect.
Of course, it could also be interpreted as him wanting to show off and prove that he has the ability to Samehada, thus discouraging others from competing with him.
"It would be best if there were none; war is just too boring!"
Ye Liangnai shook her head helplessly, then left, heading towards the Kirigakure prison.
There are two people here that Ye Liangnai absolutely has to deal with!
Former Mizukage Yagura, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata!
"Serve Kirigakure, Utakata! The Fourth Mizukage has already been defeated!"
Ye Liangnai arrived at Utakata's cell, looked at Utakata who was sealed away, and spoke calmly.
"Good!"
After a brief silence, Utakata gave his answer!
No matter who becomes the Mizukage, he only needs to serve the Mizukage!
With his fighting prowess, no matter who is in power, no one can make things difficult for him, and he will not be in any danger!
"The Intelligence Department has a squad leader position reserved for you. You should be able to start tomorrow, right?"
Ye Liangnai personally broke the seal on Utakata and said something that surprised Utakata.
"Is it appropriate for me, a Jinchuriki, to be the squad leader?"
Utakata asked without much change in expression.
Ye Liangnai replied, "That's fine, you're suitable for this position!"
Utakata: "Aren't you afraid I'll lose control?"
Ye Liangnai: "Don't worry, I can suppress you, and you're almost a complete Jinchuriki. I believe you can coexist peacefully with the Tailed Beast inside you!"
Upon hearing this, Utakata couldn't help but smile slightly, but only for a moment. He said, "In that case, please take care of me, Ye Liangnai!"
"Nice to meet you!" Ye Liangnai returned the greeting politely!
Utakata has left!
Ye Liangnai arrived at the former Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, once again.
Upon seeing Ye Liangnai's arrival, Yagura immediately revealed a fierce expression, roaring at Ye Liangnai with a voice full of resentment, unleashing a terrifying Chakra aura with heavy pressure.
"Ye Liangnai, you bastard!!!"
The sound echoed throughout the cell, accompanied by a powerful surge of Chakra.
But Ye Liangnai remained unmoved, like a rock, and said, "Mizukage is king, the loser is villain. That's the truth. All glory is written by the victors, while the losers can only leave in despair!"
"The Kirigakure must change; it can't continue like this!"
Ye Liangnai sat down in front of Yagura, looking at him calmly, and said, "Tell me, should I kill you or not?"
Yagura's existence is always a potential source of trouble!
Kill him, and we'll solve the problem once and for all!
"Hahaha, you said it yourself, it's all about the winner taking all, so what else is there to say? Come on, let's get started!"
Yagura laughed bitterly, his face full of self-mockery, and said, "The sins I've committed will eventually have to be repaid!"
Now that things have come to this, even if he knows he was manipulated, so what? The victor is king, the loser is villain. He has already lost, so there's no point in saying anything more!
Yagura was prepared to die, but Ye Liangnai hesitated to make a move.
