The next morning.
Sen was bathing in the long-lost sunshine, and while casually building dozens of houses with Wood Release, he commented casually. "How do you feel that after your Sea God died, even the sunshine became better?"
Mei Terumi nodded, feeling the same. Land of Water is shrouded in water vapor all year round, and most places can barely see the sun only in midsummer. Today is indeed a little different.
Seeing Kaguya Clan's children cheering for the new house, Sen waved and continued to move towards the center of Kirigakure with Mei Terumi and Hozuki Mangetsu who were still under the control of Illusion Technique.
"Let's go, if we delay any longer, it's time for Kirigakure's Anbu to come. The house I just built must not be lost right away."
Mei Terumi followed quickly and left amidst Kaguya Clan's grateful farewell.
On the way, Sen glanced at the dull-looking Hozuki Mangetsu beside him and asked casually, "What is the use of this guy? You keep him with you all the time."
Sen felt the recovery of his right eye. Both his sight and Dojutsu Power had recovered, and then said, "It's not because you are too weak. This Hozuki Mangetsu is quite strong. You will definitely need him when you rule the village."
"But my strength seems not as good as his, right? Now I can only barely control it with your Dojutsu Power." Mei Terumi was a little discouraged.
"Yes, I have to send Buddha to the West." Sen felt helpless. Mei Terumi's current strength is still far from Kage Level.
He sighed, took out a pen and paper from Ninja Tool Pouch, and quickly wrote down some of Water Release Ninjutsu's experiences and techniques.
When Mei Terumi saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You wrote Water Release Ninjutsu to me? Are you looking down on us Kirigakure too much? I am also a genius in the village after all!"
Sen was too lazy to pay attention to her, and directly thrust the written scroll into her hand, "Normal people should automatically understand the shape changes and property changes of water attributes when they live to the age of sixteen, right? You, the future Mizukage, can complete it at the age of fourteen, isn't it too much?"
"Come here, you can understand the qualitative changes of water properties better than our village----"
Mei Terumi opened the scroll nonchalantly, but when she saw the content clearly, her voice became smaller and smaller, and the expression on her face gradually solidified.
She shook her head vigorously, with a look of disbelief and shock, as if she was wearing a mask of pain. "Isn't your village called Konoha! Isn't it Land of Fire! Aren't you Uchiha! How come everyone is so good at Water Release? It's not enough to have Second Hokage, now there's you!"
"How can we Kirigakure survive like this?!"
"How to survive?" Sen looked at the dense figures appearing on the horizon in the distance and replied calmly, "Don't stand with them, and you can survive."
Mei Terumi looked up and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Most of the ninjas in the village have gathered in the distance, and the area is dark, like a pack of hyenas smelling blood, looking at the two of them eagerly.
Standing in the core area was Daimyo of the Land of Water, whom she had never seen before.
Daimyo was surrounded by Anbu who were escorting him, while the other ninjas in the village lined up on both sides. They had obviously been preparing for this battle for a long time.
Mei Terumi noticed that there were two newly excavated small lakes on both sides of them, and immediately reminded, "The leader is our Daimyo. It's hard to imagine that the village that usually fights with each other is so united today."
"The lakes on both sides of them must have been newly dug. They probably want to take advantage of the land and use Water Release Ninjutsu against you."
In the distance, Daimyo, wearing a strange hair accessory, was looking up and down at Sen with squinted eyes, and asked in a somewhat old voice, "Are you the Uchiha Sen? Was it you who killed Third Mizukage?"
Sen shrugged. "Not sure. The one who killed him should be your Evil God. I just killed that Evil God."
"Damn it! That's the god who has been protecting us! How dare you kill Him!"
A Anbu wearing a mask could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. That was the legend they had heard since they were young. It was the belief of Land of Water, and now it was desecrated by a ninja from another village?!
How could he accept this!
"Kill him! Sacrifice him to Master Sea God! Then Master Sea God will definitely forgive us!"
Sen glanced at the enemies in front of him. A rough estimate was that there were about seven or eight hundred people.
This number is probably similar to the number of enemies that I will need to face if I go to war with Konoha in the future.
In this case, let's take action on these people first to warm up for the future war.
"Zheng-
The Grass Sword in Sen's hand slowly unsheathed, and the sword rang clear.
Seeing Sen draw his sword, the Daimyo frowned. He knew very well that this Uchiha Sen could kill Third Mizukage who was hosted by Sea God, and his strength had definitely reached an incredible level.
Although there are more than 700 people on my side, many of them are Genin and Chunin. Can they really eliminate each other?
"Wait a minute."
Daimyo stretched out his hand to stop Mist Ninja who was about to move.
He stared at Sen and asked in a deep voice, "There doesn't seem to be anything worthy of your plot in our village.
If you are just worried that we will form an alliance with the other three countries to deal with Konoha, then I can announce the termination of this cooperation now in the name of Daimyo."
"In addition, I heard that you are at odds with Hokage of Konoha." He changed the subject, "If necessary, we can compensate you a sum of money to use as funds for your fight against Hokage. The amount is negotiable. What do you think?"
Daimyo's heart was filled with humiliation and boredom. Feeling the strange looks from his subordinates, he knew that after what he said, his political career was basically over.
But that's better than death! As long as Kirigakure is still in your hands, you can spend a few more years cultivating a trustworthy successor!
"Interesting, have you started negotiating terms?"
Sen played with Grass Sword in his hand. "That's not impossible. I only have three requirements. As long as you agree, I will turn around and leave."
"First, Land of Water abolishes the Daimyo system and lets me take over."
"Second, Kirigakure is managed by me, Uchiha Clan."
"Third, the next Mizukage will be Mei Terumi."
As soon as the three conditions were spoken, the Kirigakure Ninjas exploded in anger and hatred. "This guy is not here to negotiate conditions at all! He is just here to humiliate us!"
"Everyone come together and kill him!"
Daimyo of the Land of Water's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
He thought he had given enough face to the other party, but this Uchiha Sen was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, yet he dared to speak like a lion!
But his long-term experience in governing prevented him from taking advantage of it immediately. He just thought that the price he gave was not enough.
"One billion!" Daimyo gritted his teeth and squeezed the number out from between his teeth, "At most one billion taels! This is my bottom line!"
As soon as these words came out, all Mist Ninja looked at Daimyo in disbelief.
They are ninjas, a profession with almost no future. In other words, their future is probably death.
The moment they become ninjas, they are ready to sacrifice their lives for their country and the glory of their village.
But now--their "god" is dead, their "shadow" is dead, and their Daimyo is using money to liaise with their enemies?
Sen keenly captured the subtle changes in the atmosphere. He spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in everyone's ears. "Is this your Daimyo? Is it really worth working for such a person?"
"Instead of working for this kind of people, it is better to join me. I can at least guarantee that under my leadership, your descendants will no longer have to live in this bloody mist. We can even surpass Konoha and let your descendants live a better life."
"Do you still want your children to experience the painful growth you have experienced before?
