Shiyu's idea was good, but what he envisioned was not actually realized until the Boruto Shiyu, when the Sixth Mizukage, Chojuro, completed it. This was because Kirigakure was not suitable for doing so at the moment. Developing Kirigakure's tourism resources would have to wait until much later, after Kirigakure had shed its reputation as the Blood Mist.
Compared to the wooden buildings of Konoha, the buildings in Kirigakure made of more sturdy cement, and they generally employ waterproof designs to prevent them from decaying in humid environments.
The building with the character "water" written on it is Shiyu. The so-called acting Mizukage is waiting for Shiyu and the others there.
Before entering the building, Shiyu activated his sensory abilities, scanning the entire Kirigakure like a radar. Sure enough, Shiyu sensed that the Kirigakure was sparsely populated.
"Why is there so few civilians in such a large Kirigakure, and even the number of ninjas is pitifully small? Could it be that they've hidden the civilians and ninjas somewhere else?" Shiyu quietly asked Kisame and Orochimaru.
"I'm afraid this is the entire population of Kirigakure. Because of the Blood Mist policy, Kirigakure's population has been declining, and the Third Mizukage has further cemented the reputation of the Blood Mist throughout the entire Shinobi World," Orochimaru explained.
"Even though the Third Mizukage disappeared on the battlefield, Kirigakure still adhered to the Blood Mist policy, which is why the Kirigakure Ninja Village was in turmoil," Kisame said.
"Kisame, how did you get captured by Kirigakure? With your strength, no one should be a match for you," Shiyu asked, seizing the opportunity.
"I went to prison voluntarily. I couldn't decide between the Kirigakure Village and the rebel forces. One side was the one I had been loyal to in the past, and the other was the one that was at the height of its power. I was doing this for the Kirigakure Village's mission, but instead, I was framed by them for treason and eventually captured by my own village's ninjas. Disheartened, I naturally didn't resist and went to prison voluntarily," Kisame said.
"Are the Kirigakure forces stronger, or the rebels?" Shiyu asked.
"I don't know about that. I've been imprisoned for a while now and know nothing about the outside world," Kisame said.
"Okay, it's fine. We'll see the acting Mizukage soon anyway, and we can just ask him if we have any questions."
After a while, the leader of Kirigakure said, "The Acting Mizukage is inside. Since you have something to discuss, please go in."
The leader of Kirigakure was extremely polite this time, and seemed completely unconcerned about Shiyu and his group doing anything excessive.
"This time, it's more like it." Shiyu then knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Come in."
Then Shiyu and the other two pushed open the door and entered.
All that came into view was a desk, and a person was standing with his back to Shiyu and the others. When he heard Shiyu and the others come in, he immediately turned his chair around and revealed his face to everyone.
Shigure was slightly taken aback Shiyu he saw this person, because the person in front of him was not Karatachi Yagura at all.
"Are you the Acting Mizukage?" Shiyu asked again to confirm.
"Yes, you must be the Light of the Shinobi World, Lord Shiyu? I apologize for throwing you into prison as soon as you entered Kirigakure. It's because the rebel forces have been acting strangely lately, and we have to be cautious."
"It's alright, we understand your good intentions." Shiyu naturally expressed her understanding in her words.
"I was originally an elder of Kirigakure, named Genji. Due to the disappearance of the Third Mizukage, I was forced to take on the role of acting Mizukage to maintain the normal operation of Kirigakure. You went to great lengths to enter the prison just to see me. Did you bring news of the Third Hokage?" an old man said.
Shiyu hadn't expected that the acting Mizukage was someone else. She had thought she could easily entrust the Third Hokage's words to Yagura. Shiyu then decided to tell the truth to the acting Mizukage in front of her.
"Acting Mizukage, the Third Mizukage and the Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen died long ago on the battlefields of Konoha. I buried the Third Mizukage myself. That Ninjutsu scroll was the Third Mizukage's reward to me. Before he died, he entrusted me to come to Kirigakure and do something for him," Shiyu said.
Genji then exclaimed, "What!? What did you say!? The Lord Third is really... really gone?!"
A wave of sorrow immediately washed over Genji, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, unlike Mizukage at all.
"I thought he was just recovering from his injury somewhere. But now, he's really gone."
Shiyu then comforted him, "Genji, please don't be too sad. I'd like to ask if you know anyone named Yagura? He seems to be a disciple of the Lord Third?"
Genji was taken aback, clearly not expecting Shiyu to mention this person's name.
"Of course! Karatachi Yagura, right? I know him all too well!" Genji then said, "He is the leader of the rebels! The one who wants to seize power in Kirigakure."
"What!?" Shiyu was taken aback.
"I never imagined that this time the target Yagura, would be the leader of the rebel Kirigakure!? This is truly unexpected." Shiyu fell silent, wanting to hear what Genji had to say first.
Genji then said, "Although Yagura was the disciple of the Third Mizukage, after the Third Hokage disappeared, he not only did not support the Kirigakure Village's elite policy established by the Third Hokage, but was also the first ninja to speak out against the Third Hokage's previous orders."
"At the same time, Yagura also used his prestige to gather a large number of scattered soldiers to resist the forces of our Kirigakure orthodox lineage, attempting to remove me from the position of Kage. Therefore, I naturally fought back fiercely."
"I am merely an elder, I am only maintaining the former Kirigakure for the Third Mizukage. I believe that sooner or later the Third Hokage will return, and sooner or later he will discover Yagura's disobedience."
Genji also firmly stated that he had no idea that the previous Third Hokage was actually being controlled by someone else, and Shiyu had no way to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so he could only sigh.
"It seems that Yagura's side will eventually be able to seize power in Kirigakure. Although this Genji is thinking of Kirigakure, to be honest, he's too pedantic. He wouldn't even know if he's been betrayed," Shiyu thought to himself.
Just then, a Jonin from Kirigakure suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"What a lack of manners! Can't you see I have guests here?" Genji cursed in displeasure.
"I'm sorry, Acting Mizukage! The situation is urgent!"
"The rebel leader, Yagura, is leading a powerful ninja force, silently advancing towards the village," the Kirigakure Ninja reported.
"Why is this happening?! Where are the reconnaissance troops?! Why didn't they find anything?!" The Genji was also taken aback.
"Everyone! Go out and meet the enemy!"
