Noticing Ye Ning's actions, Yagura took two ragged breaths, forcibly swallowing the blood rising in his throat before giving a miserable laugh.
"Just kill me."
Yet Ye Ning merely looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Am I sick? Why would I kill you?
What I want is the Six-Tails' chakra, not your life!
Besides, what would he gain from killing Yagura at a time like this?
Once Yagura died, Kirigakure would be left leaderless and would inevitably have to choose a new Mizukage.
As for the candidate for Fifth Mizukage... he could pick one even with his eyes closed.
Other than Mei Terumi, did Kirigakure even have any renowned strong fighters left?
Or perhaps... someone from the Yuki Clan?
However, no matter who succeeded as the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi and Hozuki Mangetsu would surely remain in Kirigakure.
Ye Ning was still planning to lure both Hozuki Mangetsu and Mei Terumi over to Konoha. How could he possibly kill Yagura now?
What was more, Yagura was currently under Obito's control.
With Obito wreaking havoc, Kirigakure would only grow weaker and weaker. On the other hand, if Mei Terumi took power, Kirigakure would see dawn after the Bloody Mist.
That clearly did not align with Ye Ning's interests.
A half-dead Kirigakure was naturally far better than a Kirigakure welcoming the light.
Ye Ning silently pondered as he extracted the Six-Tails' chakra.
He had already become the Daimyo's heir, so annexing a few other great nations... wasn't excessive, right?
Building a unified nation... wasn't excessive either, right?
Since he had already decided to annex all the major nations... what reason was there for these hidden villages to continue existing?
In other words, whether it was Kirigakure or Sunagakure, which had now become Konoha's loyal little brother, both would be
