Pull Off Something Big
"So, how will Kirigakure deal with this problem?"
"Should we choose to back down and swallow our anger, or should we choose to negotiate and find a peaceful solution?"
"Or should we give a firm refusal and confront them head-on?"
"A direct confrontation seems unlikely; no Mizukage in history has ever done that!"
"The possibility of negotiation is relatively high. Kirigakure is, after all, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. They shouldn't have to swallow their anger like this!"
In an instant, almost the entire Shinobi World turned its attention to Kirigakure, wondering how they would react.
Kirigakure!
"What a turbulent time!"
Mei Terumi sat in the Mizukage's Office, watching the fallen leaves fluttering in the wind outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.
She then issued a statement. "I will hold detailed negotiations with the Daimyo of the Land of Water, striving to peacefully resolve the conflict between the two sides and maintain peace and tranquility in the Land of Water!"
Her reaction was expected by many.
Because this might be the best approach.
"But can the problem really be resolved through negotiation, allowing us to get through this peacefully?"
The Fourth Raikage was skeptical of this, feeling that with Ye Liangnai in the picture, the chances of a peaceful resolution were slim.
Ye Liangnai is a person with an extremely tough and decisive style of doing things, and she is never threatened by anyone.
Moreover, he is a vengeful person; the daimyo of the Land of Water provoked him first, and he doesn't believe that Ye Liangnai would swallow her anger.
Ye Liangnai will definitely take some action.
He was absolutely convinced of this.
If we're talking about who's happiest about this, Watanabe Izumi is definitely one of them.
"Ye Liangnai, let's see how you get out of this!"
"Don't think this is the end of it. I won't let you get away with this!"
"The hatred for a severed finger is irreconcilable!"
"My father is in charge of financial matters, which means he happens to be in charge of the economic affairs of your Kirigakure!"
"I will make you pay for what you have done!"
He would only spare Kirigakure if Ye Liangnai knelt before him and begged for mercy, Mei Terumi personally performed pleasure under his crotch to atone for her sins.
He is confident he can do it all!
From childhood to adulthood, there's nothing he can't do if he sets his mind to it.
He didn't think that Kirigakure was any exception!
But will things really turn out the way he imagines?
Of course not!
The people of Daimyo City in the Land of Water will remember this day forever!
The fear of being controlled by others will be forever etched into their bones!
At the same time, they will remember a name forever!
Ye Liangnai!!
Just five hours after Watanabe Izumi had this idea, the Daimyo of the Land of Water cut off the preferential policies and economic support to Kirigakure.
While the entire Shinobi World was paying close attention to how this matter would develop, a momentous event occurred in the Daimyo City of the Land of Water!
Akatsuki Organization from an unknown location has attacked Daimyo City!
They captured the daimyo of the Land of Water and his three sons with overwhelming force, leaving none of them alive!
Of course, it wasn't just Daimyo and his son who were arrested!
There are also ministers whom the Daimyo of the Land of Water greatly trusts, such as the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Etiquette, the Finance Minister, the Minister of Personnel, and so on!
Almost all of the top leaders of the Land of Water were captured, creating an unprecedented power vacuum!
This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Shinobi World.
In an instant, everyone in the entire Shinobi World was shocked!
"My God, that's incredibly audacious! Ye Liangnai really dares to do that!"
"Is this his way of dealing with it? As expected of White Cold Light, he really doesn't follow the usual path. I knew he wouldn't stand idly by!"
"That's incredibly reckless! They've completely broken the rules. They're just young and impetuous!"
"Hehe, I'm starting to wonder how the story will unfold!"
"Did he hire the Akatsuki Organization to kidnap a daimyo? Was it to imprison him? Kill him? Or was it simply to intimidate him?"
Other forces in the Shinobi World immediately became very interested; this kind of show was just too interesting.
Ye Liangnai was definitely the first person to dare to do this to a daimyo.
To say that his behavior was audacious is an understatement!
But in Kirigakure!
"What? The daimyo of the Land of Water has been kidnapped by Xiao Ye, hired by Akatsuki Organization?"
When Mei Terumi heard the news, she almost fainted from shock.
She hurried to the Anbu and ran into Ye Liangnai was walking by!
"Xiao Ye, are you... insane! Kidnapping a Daimyo, what are you trying to do?!"
"What you're doing will only throw the entire Land of Water into chaos! It will do no good whatsoever for Kirigakure!"
Mei Terumi's face was full of anxiety and unease!
"Really, there's absolutely no benefit?"
Ye Liangnai looked up and said calmly, "Sister, leave this matter to me. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
After saying that, he left!
"Xiao Ye, where are you going! I'll go with you, we'll deal with this together!"
Mei Terumi was about to follow, but Ye Liangnai stopped her, saying, "Sister, you should stay and guard Kirigakure."
"I'm capable of handling this matter. Kirigakure can't do without my sister!"
"No one can touch Kirigakure, not even the Daimyo. If anyone dares to touch Kirigakure, I will make everyone understand the consequences!"
"If we give up halfway, it won't have any deterrent effect!"
Ye Liangnai's words could be detached, even sending a chill down Mei Terumi's spine.
This Ye Liangnai seems so unfamiliar!
"Sister, don't worry, I'm still me, still your brother, and I won't escape your control!"
"Please allow me to be willful this once!"
After saying that, she left. Mei Terumi stood there with a complicated expression, speechless for a long time.
"Well!"
After a long while, Mei Terumi sighed and then headed off in a certain direction.
As she walked, she murmured to herself, "Those kind-hearted people in the village must be very happy about what happened."
"They've finally found an opportunity to cause trouble and stir up public opinion against me, the Mizukage!!"
"However, I will not let you succeed. Just because the Land of Water is in chaos does not mean that Kirigakure will be in chaos as well!"
"With me here, I won't let you cause any trouble!"
The "thoughtful person" she mentioned refers to Yagura's close confidant, the former Mizukage.
These are several former members of the council of elders who were imprisoned for refusing to submit to the rule of Mei Terumi.
They all wield considerable influence and possess excellent interpersonal skills.
Therefore, Mei Terumi did not kill them, but planned to gradually subdue them and use them for her own purposes.
However, the existence of these people is naturally a hidden danger. Normally, things are fine, as they don't have the opportunity to cause trouble.
But things are different now, the opportunity is just right!
It can be said that the tinder is ready, all that's missing is their blazing fire.
Therefore, she needs to hurry over to check the situation to prevent unrest from Kirigakure as well!
