Keep Writing Letters
Hozuki Mangetsu hummed in agreement and immediately offered his opinion, saying with a serious expression:
"Fifth Hokage, our Hidden Fifth Hokage Hidden Mist Village should offer our blessings and maintain a friendly relationship with you. If possible, we could also stage a coup, take over the Land of Water, and establish a policy of ruling as a single village. Continuing to copy Konoha's policies would definitely be the right thing to do; we've accumulated a lot of experience in coups over the years."
Terumi Mei was also slightly startled, looking at Hozuki Mangetsu's serious expression, and said in great shock:
"Huh? Our Hidden Mist Village also staged a coup, continuing to copy Konoha's policies and attacking the Land of Water. Isn't that too cruel? The Land of Water isn't that wealthy. Let's ask Genji about it."
Suikazan Fuguki immediately quit, saying with a serious expression:
"Fifth Hokage, you are the Fifth Mizukage. If you listen to Genji in everything, what kind of Mizukage are you? I also think that a coup is a good path. It can not only enrich our village the fastest, but also provide a large population for our Hidden Mist Village. Konoha did it, so why can't we Hidden Mist Village do it?"
Ringo Ameyuri immediately nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, and said, "That vampire Daimyo only gives us the cheapest reward. We should follow Konoha's example, stage a coup, take over the Land of Water in one fell swoop, and then merge the Land of Water with Hidden Mist Village."
Terumi Mei still looked hesitant. After thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "Let's postpone this matter. Even if we make a decision, we need to come up with a corresponding plan. We can't just execute it blindly, otherwise we'll throw the Land of Water into chaos."
Suikazan Fuguki, after hearing Terumi Mei's concerns, pondered for a moment and thought to himself with great dissatisfaction:
"If the Fifth Hokage were here, the Land of Water would be taken over in no time. This woman has become indecisive since Mizukage. It's better to have my comrades from Konoha; they act decisively and never hesitate or beat around the bush."
Hearing everyone shouting that they had plagiarized Konoha, One-Eyed Ao was startled again and thought to himself:
"Have they really been brainwashed by Konoha? They're even copying things like this. Doesn't this turn our Hidden Mist Village into a coup village? No, I have to stop them. I can't let this happen."
Immediately afterward, the One-Eyed Ao man shouted, very seriously, "We can't imitate Konoha! This violates the ethics of ninjas. We mustn't blindly follow the trend; we'll be laughed at!"
Suikazan Fuguki, looking at the hoarse-voiced One-Eyed Ao, immediately darkened his face and retorted angrily:
"Konoha must have its reasons for doing this. You've even lost your Byakugan, yet you're still slandering Konoha. Next time, the Konoha Ninja will take your one eye away too, and then you'll feel better."
At this point, the leadership of Hidden Mist Village had split into two factions: the opposition and the offensive.
Meanwhile, the opposition began to support the One-Eyed Ao and oppose the coup d'état launched by the Hidden Mist Village, arguing that it violated the code of ninja ethics and would damage the reputation of the Kirigakure.
The offensive faction, on the other hand, supported Suikazan Fuguki, believing that they should simply copy Konoha, firmly occupy the Land of Water, and provide strength to Hidden Mist Village. They argued, "What about ninja morality? We are ninjas!"
The two groups started arguing, and the noise gradually grew louder, filling the entire Mizukage office building with a cacophony of sounds, as noisy as a marketplace.
Seeing the arguing crowd, Terumi Mei waved her hand, signaling everyone to stop. She shouted sternly, "All of you, shut up! This constant bickering is damaging to the image of our Hidden Mist Village! We'll discuss this later; let's put it aside for now."
The high-ranking officials of Hidden Mist Village all shouted, "Yes, Fifth Hokage!" and then everyone fell silent.
Terumi Mei then asked Hozuki Mangetsu, "How much money does our village have left? Is it enough to cover our expenses for this quarter?"
Hozuki Mangetsu thought for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said with a serious expression:
"Reporting to the Fifth Hokage, our village's finances have 12 million Silver Coin remaining. If this operation continues secretly, it can probably last for another four months. If we stop, the village can be self-sufficient and will not have to bear too much pressure."
Terumi Mei stood up, nodded, and said earnestly, "I'm entrusting everything to you all. I'll go check on Yuki first; maybe I can get some money from her."
After saying that, Terumi Mei put on her water-flow ninja hat, walked out of the Mizukage Building, and headed towards her house.
The villagers passing by all greeted Terumi Mei: "Good morning Fifth Mizukage! Would you like to try my hand-pulled pancake?"
Terumi Mei looked at the villagers and replied with a smile, "Thank you all. I've already had breakfast and I'm going home now. I wish you all good business."
Terumi Mei walked slowly through the bustling crowd home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a little boy with black hair and black eyes sitting on the sofa.
Terumi Mei said with a smile, "Yuki, are you watching TV? How about I take you to the Ninja Academy tomorrow?"
Terumi Mei's house was filled with posters of the Fifth Hokage, as well as many photos of Qingcheng, all mailed from Konoha. There were even a few photos of Yongcheng, also sent by Qingcheng.
The television that Uchiha Yuki watched was Konoha TV, along with the Legend of the Fifth Hokage, all of which were sent from Konoha, and Yuki was particularly fascinated by them.
Every time Yuki saw Qingcheng utterly Danzo, Yuki would shout, "Thai pants! That's so cool! Shimura Danzō deserves to die! I want to become Hokage too!"
Terumi Mei Tomoki completely absorbed, Mei Terumi walked over and said with a smile, "Son, I'm talking to you, why aren't you responding?"
Yuki saw Terumi Mei approaching, waved, and said with a serious face, "Mom, I'm watching a movie. The finale is coming soon. When are you going to take me to Konoha? I want to be the Hokage of Konoha."
Terumi Mei looked at Yuki's confident declaration and said with a dark expression, "It's fine for our son to go to Konoha, but becoming Hokage is out of the question, right? How about you try Mizukage?"
Upon hearing the Mizukage, Uchiha Yuki shook his head, looking disgusted, and said:
"But I want to be Hokage. Being Mizukage is too poor. I have to write letters and send money to my dad Tenten, and I also have to take care of the villagers' food, drink, and daily needs. There's no fun at all. My favorite TV show is Konoha TV. I really like the hosts on Konoha TV."
Terumi Mei said awkwardly, "Then I won't let you write letters anymore."
Uchiha Yuki said with a surprised look, "Are you serious? That's wonderful!"
Terumi Mei nodded and said with a smile, "So I'm planning to have you get everything at once. What do you think?"
