Shiori looked at the enormous silver Susanoo and murmured, "Can the Land of Water withstand power like this? He's only doing this because he doesn't want the Land of Water to keep resisting in the future."
"Mei!"
As Mei Terumi deliberated, Uchiha Yan's deeply affectionate voice rang throughout Kirigakure:
"I know you still love me. You've just been misled. I don't blame you.
I've always remembered our promise to spare the people of the Lands of Fire and Water from the suffering of war forever. Haven't we always been working toward that?
Mei, look at me. I now have the power to protect the people of the Lands of Fire and Water.
Mei, you must have fallen under a genjutsu just like Yagura did. Otherwise, how could you have changed so much?"
At those words, the entire street erupted. They remembered the terror of living under Yagura's rule, and the shinobi clans roared in anger.
"Hozuki Mangetsu, what exactly is going on? Is Lady Mizukage being controlled by genjutsu?!"
"What the hell's the point of asking them? The Hyuga Clan is on Whirlpool Island. Ask them to come take a look."
"That's right..."
Shiori's expression changed drastically. "Lady Mizukage, if this continues, Kirigakure will immediately fall into internal strife. Forget stopping Konoha-Kirigakure itself will face the danger of destruction."
Mei Terumi understood as well. Yagura had done too much damage to Kirigakure. Once she became like Yagura, the villagers would drive her from office immediately.
She was Genji's designated candidate for Fifth Mizukage and possessed dual kekkei genkai herself. Kirigakure had also been recovering over the past few years, which was why she had been able to hold her position firmly.
If she really were driven out, Kirigakure currently had no suitable candidate for Mizukage. They would fight one another
