Kirigakure

The Northwest Ninja Army is stationed in the Re-Estize Kingdom area bordering the Council Nation. Kirigakure, the strongest of the Three Great Shinobi Villages, has encountered a formidable enemy amidst its fierce sieges and territorial expansion.

"What kind of True Dragon Lord he? He's nothing special!"

The Three-Tails behemoth roared to the sky, its foot planted firmly on the ground. The [Wyrm Dragon Lord], which was traveling underground, was instantly struck by the water column and lifted high from the ground, revealing a size tens of meters long, no less than that of the Three-Tails behemoth.

Standing atop the Three-Tails Karatachi Yagura stared fiercely and gleefully at the [Wyrm Dragon Lord] emitting painful howls.

This insect-like True Dragon Lord nearly devoured several groups of Kirigakure Combat Ninja forces engaged in mountain warfare, with only a handful surviving to return and report the news.

With a thought, Karatachi Yagura caused the three creatures beneath his feet to open their fanged maws, instantly condensing a massive ball of Chakra energy which he launched at the [Wyrm Dragon Lord] still in mid-air.

With a deafening roar, the True Dragon Lord, one of the five life-long councilors of the Council Nation and a being capable of rivaling the extraordinary, was blasted in two at the waist.

The gushing dragon blood, like a torrential downpour, rained down in Shikata.

"As expected of the successor favored by Genji! With Karatachi Yagura's strength, becoming the Fifth Mizukage is no problem at all!"

In the current ninja world, there is no longer any prejudice against Jinchuriki. On the contrary, many ninjas have developed a strong desire to become Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts. In particular, the appearance of the Two-Tails Cat Jinchuriki in Konoha has pushed this situation to a climax!

In the past, Jinchuriki were monsters, but now it's just a shortcut to success. Even the Ninja Cat Tachibana could rise to the top in one step, so they could do it too!

The Kirigakure's Combat Ninja force, currently engaged in battle with an army of alien Troll, along with the Clan Head the three powerful ninja clans, gathered together to discuss their situation.

The Clan Head of the Kaguya and Hozuki clans looked at the Snow Clan Head with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Karatachi Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, has already distinguished himself, and the remaining Six-Tails has become highly sought after, implicitly becoming the property of the Yuki clan, an Ice Release ninja clan.

The Yuki Clan originated from the Yuki Clan, and naturally, Konoha took extra care of the weakened ninja clans.

With Konoha's stance shifting and the Yuki Clan Uchiha Takeyasu, Genji's stance was also forced to change.

In particular, the Yuki Clan's Ice Release with the Frost Dragon Bloodline, culminating in the resonance with the Frost Dragon mount, gives even the weakest member near Kage Level strength.

Even the head of the Science Academy, Uchiha Soki, who taught Yuki Haku, felt a little jealous of the newly formed Yuki Clan clan.

This ninja clan, with its overlapping bloodlines, is practically unbeatable against the Uchiha, except for their peak combat strength.

"Genji is still in the prime of his life, so it's a bit too early to talk about the Fourth Hokage."

The Snow Clan Head said calmly.

With their own strength and the support of external forces, the Snow Clan Head also wanted to produce a Mizukage from their own clan!

If we don't seize this opportunity, it's unlikely that the position of Mizukage will come from the Yuki Clan in the future.

Similarly, it's unlikely that she came from the Kaguya Clan.

Only genius ninjas outside the three major ninja clans, or those from the powerful Hozuki Clan who once defied public opinion to seize the position of Second Mizukage, possessing immense strength and a constant stream of geniuses, have this opportunity.

"Whether it's early or not isn't up to us. According to Genji's will, apart from our own headquarters Combat Ninja, the management of all other Combat Ninja has been handed over to Yagura. The three of us no longer have as much say as Yagura."

The rivalry between the ninja clan and the common people has always been a focal point of contention in the village's power struggles.

If the ninja clan becomes powerful, the interests of the common people will be encroached upon; if the common people become powerful, the ninja clan will have to relinquish their interests.

If it weren't for Uchiha Takeyasu expanding the pie of the Ninja World, sooner or later there would have been substantial conflicts of interest within the ninja villages, or even a major war over the division of interests between villages and countries.

From the perspective of the ninja clan, the Hozuki Clan Head did not mind the Yuki Clan taking the lead.

However, from the perspective of their own ninja clan, the existence of the Snow Clan is somewhat of an eyesore.

"If Six-Tails Jinchuriki were to be born, perhaps Genji would change his mind."

The Six-Tails is in the hands of the Genji. To obtain the Six-Tails, one must obtain the Genji's consent. However, the Genji himself prefers someone who is not from one of the three great ninja clans to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, in order to maintain the balance of power in Kirigakure.

The Snow Clan has only two choices if they want to become Jinchuriki: either side with Genji or force Genji to hand over the Six-Tails through external pressure.

The former is basically unrealistic. By siding with the Genji, who emphasizes balance, the Snow Clan will never gain much, and they might even benefit more from Hozuki and Kaguya.

Knowing that the Hozuki Clan Head harbored ill intentions, the Snow Clan Head remained calm. Before he could speak, the Kaguya Clan Head, who had long been impatient, said disdainfully, "Putting a monster inside your body, doesn't that make you a monster too?"

"My Kaguya Clan has no need for such things. My Shikotsumyaku) surpasses even the bloodlines of Tailed Beast!"

Having said that, the burly, strong man drew a bone sword from his spine, shouted excitedly, and charged towards the Troll army, which was beginning to retreat in defeat following the death of the [Wyrm Dragon Lord].

"The Sawarabi Dance!"

Countless sharp, thick bone spikes tore through the earth, piercing through the Troll one by one. The goblin army accompanying the Troll was even more severely pierced, their internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

"Kaguya Clan Head's strength has already reached the Kage Level."

The Hozuki Clan Head narrowed his eyes slightly. "No wonder he dared to speak so arrogantly. You must know that those lords of Konoha are all Jinchuriki."

"What he says doesn't matter, but we can't let the adults of Konoha misunderstand Kirigakure's stance."

The Snow Clan Head glanced unfriendly at the Kaguya Clan Head, who was Kamui, then turned to the Hozuki Clan Head, saying, "Among the three of us, who can compare to you, Hozuki Clan Head, in terms of strength?"

"Ha ha."

The Hozuki Clan Head laughed, "There's always someone stronger, and there's always a higher mountain to climb. Compared to Konoha, the Hozuki Clan is just a big grasshopper."

"Clan Head Hozuki is being modest."

"Clan Head Xue, you flatter me."

As the two were talking, Karatachi Yagura collected the remains of the [Wyrm Dragon Lord]. Part of the remains of this True Dragon Lord would be sent to the Konoha Science Academy as a merit award.

Some will be sent to Kirigakure's own research institute, not to gain an advantage, but simply to solidify their own position.

As the troops led by Karatachi Yagura were advancing with unstoppable momentum, and from another angle, who were about to kill a [Obsidian Dragon King] whose body was completely black and had a metallic sheen, a person wearing a full set of white and gold armor slowly descended.
