"Sorry, Takenaka, the message I brought is not good."
Kirigakure.
In the living room, Genji said slowly with a guilty look on his face.
Listening to this, Takenaka Kaguya did not show disappointment on his face, but nodded calmly and asked, "I understand, Elder Genshi, then, tell me the final result.
In addition, this very upsetting game should have an end!"
As soon as these words came out, Genji's expression changed instantly. At this moment, he found that the young man in front of him seemed to have become unfamiliar to him overnight.
The low-key and restrained style disappeared, replaced by a sharp edge that people could not look directly at. Moreover, even though Takenaka Kaguya was sitting opposite him, he did nothing, but the aura exuding from his body shocked Genji's heart.
"Oh my god...Takenaka, Hozuki Gengetsu broke into our meeting last night and made an offer that other Ninja couldn't refuse.
In addition, he has a letter of recommendation written by Lord Daimyo in his hand, and others do not want to split the village because of the position of Mizukage." Genji felt bitter in his heart. He also did not expect that the Ninja family, which had been so steadfast in supporting Takenaka Kaguya and his Ninja family, would turn against them en masse after Hozuki Gengetsu broke into the meeting yesterday.
Especially the letter of recommendation written by Daimyo of the Land of Water made some Ninja who were still wavering directly towards Hozuki Gengetsu.
In addition, due to the circumstances at the time, he was forced to turn around and support Hozuki Gengetsu.
Moreover, in order to prevent Takenaka Kaguya from going on an angry rampage, Genji also took the initiative to take on the task of coming to appease Takenaka Kaguya.
On the opposite side, Takenaka Kaguya looked calm on the surface after hearing these explanations. In fact, the fists under his sleeves were tightly clenched.
At this moment, Takenaka Kaguya felt endless sadness deep in his heart.
"Hoo!"
After a long breath, Takenaka Kaguya nodded, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked up at Genji calmly and said, "I understand, Elder Genshi, what plans does the village have for me next?"
"Takenaka, are you still willing to stay in the village?"
Suddenly, a flash of excitement flashed in Genji's eyes, and he was a little unbelievable. He did not expect that after hearing what he said, Takenaka Kaguya actually wanted to stay with Kirigakure.
"Why not? Does the village not need me anymore? If so, I will leave now." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly.
"No, no, the village very much welcomes you to stay. Takenaka, don't worry. When Second Mizukage's succession ceremony is over tomorrow morning, we will hold a meeting about you becoming a senior leader of the village." Genji said quickly.
"Okay, in that case, Elder Genshi, you can go back first. My mind is a little confused now, so I'm going to be quiet for a while." Takenaka Kaguya nodded.
Hearing this, Genji nodded quickly, and then stood up and left immediately without thinking too much.
After a while, Takenaka Kaguya came to Yuko Kaguya and Akina Nakamori, looked at them seriously and said, "Aunt, Akina, I am leaving Kirigakure, and I will never come back again.
What do you think, should you follow me or stay in the village?"
"Ah? Leave? Never come back?" Yuko Kaguya and Akina Nakamori were extremely surprised. They had just heard the conversation between Takenaka Kaguya and Genji, and thought that Takenaka Kaguya would still compromise and continue to stay in Kirigakure.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Genji left, he decided to leave.
"Yes, I am ready to leave Kirigakure. Before I was ten years old, I was sent to the battlefield to fight with the enemy and began to build military exploits for Land of Water.
When I was twelve years old, the war ended and the village was established. With my military exploits and strength, even if I would not become First Mizukage, I would still be enough to become a high-ranking member of the village.
Over the years, I have also completed the tasks assigned by the village perfectly, achieving a 100% task completion rate.
Originally, I didn't plan to come back to the village. I only wanted to help the village with some tasks. It was also a way of repaying the people who had been supporting me behind the scenes and repaying the kindness of those who had helped me on the battlefield.
But now that they have made their own choices, including Elder Genshi, everything in the past will be paid off.
Therefore, it is time to leave the village." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yuko Kaguya didn't hesitate at all. He walked over and hugged Takenaka Kaguya gently, saying softly, "Takenaka, wherever you go, my aunt will follow you."
"What about you, Akina? You are Elder Genshi's disciple. If you choose to stay, I won't blame you." Takenaka Kaguya nodded, then turned to look at Akina Nakamori.
However, unexpectedly, a flash of struggle flashed in Akina Nakamori's eyes, and tears flowed out. Then she shook her head and said, "Sorry, Lord Takenaka, I don't want to leave yet."
"Well, then you go and live a good life in the future. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I believe we will meet again." Takenaka Kaguya was not surprised. When he first met Akina Nakamori on Half-Moon Island, he used Advanced Observation Haki to explore Akina Nakamori's inner thoughts.
She was brought by Genji and placed next to Takenaka Kaguya, just to be able to understand Takenaka Kaguya's movements anytime and anywhere.
It was just that at that time, Genji had no ill intentions towards him. Although he had some thoughts of taking advantage of him, he had no intention of harming him, so he pretended not to know.
Furthermore, Akina Nakamori was not a threat, so Takenaka Kaguya also allowed him to stay.
She has done very well over the years.
Until half a month ago, Genji did not say hello and would have people take Yuko Kaguya and Akina Nakamori back to Kirigakure, which forced him to come back.
However, as soon as they met, through Advanced Observation Haki, he knew the purpose of forcing him to come back this time.
In fact, Genji and Hozuki Gengetsu have basically reached an agreement, but Genji has made some demands that Hozuki Gengetsu cannot meet.
And Genji asked him to come back to act as a deterrent. With his arrival, coupled with yesterday's conversation at Byakuren's place, as expected, Hozuki Gengetsu had to agree to Genji's request overnight due to his pressure.
"Lord Takenaka, I..."
Across the way, Akina Nakamori looked at Takenaka Kaguya, whose face was still calm, and wanted to say something, but Takenaka Kaguya told Teuchi: "No need to say more, you go back and tell Genji that I don't owe him anything from now on.
I also hope he won't regret it in the future!"
"I... I wrote it down."
Akina Nakamori originally wanted to explain, but when she met Takenaka Kaguya's cold eyes, she didn't dare to say a word for a moment. She had no choice but to agree, salute respectfully, and then turned around and left.
"Takenaka, what on earth is going on?"
