"Yes." Senju Chen nodded, "Mizukage is controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes. You are just executing the orders of "Lord Mizukage", so you are not guilty."
He dropped the last thing on the table.
A dusty piece of stone.
"This is the communication stone tablet of Kirigakure Jonin Kuga. After my investigation over the years, I found that he is the traitor who was placed among us by the mastermind behind the scenes and who relayed news to the outside world whenever there was a situation in the village." Senju Chen poured a trace of Chakra into the stone tablet.
Twelve characters floated from the stone.
[Kirigakure is experiencing civil strife, high-level officials are seizing power, and the situation is temporarily stable.]
"Kuga, this traitor, is currently under my control. I asked him to send it out three days ago."
"So, you are not Kirigakure's loyal ministers." Senju Chen folded the six files back into place, moving very slowly, "You are a batch of consumables that have been used up by the people behind the scenes and are too lazy to recycle them."
"And every dirty thing Kirigakure has done in the past five years is carried by your signature."
The great elder slumped back in his chair.
His lips moved for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "... What do you want."
"It's very simple." Senju Chen finally smiled, "I won't kill you now."
"If I kill you now, this incident will become my Kirisame Ryo rebellion, and all the ninjas of Kirigakure will continue to bear the name of 'executioner'."
"So I want you to live, go to the trial stand one by one, and explain every order, every name, and every massacre in front of the whole village."
"That's it, I'll let you die again."
"This is your last bit of dignity."
He turned around and waved towards the door.
"Take them with you and feed them well, don't let them die early."
When the six elders were carried away, no one said a word.
Three days later.
Kirigakure Central Square, the sea breeze has blown away most of the smell of blood.
Yagura's body rested on a temporary high platform, covered with Mizukage's cloak.
There were more than 7,000 people standing under the stage. Ninjas, family members, restaurant owners, fishermen, and a group of orphans sent back by "Food Is Heaven" from all over Land of Water.
Hozuki Anyue finished reading the cause of death of Yagura, the history of all events this time, and the list of countersignatures of the six elders.
When I read the fourth part, some people in the audience started crying.
After reading the seventh part, a middle-aged female ninja knelt on the ground and smashed her forehead on the stone slab. She had personally killed a group of the Yuki Clan children twelve years ago. She always thought that was an order from the village.
Although that was originally an order from the village.
However, the head of the village no longer belongs to the village.
Now, someone suddenly told her that everything she did back then was wrong, which caused the ninjas who had been suffering internally for many years to collapse immediately.
After all the lists and charges were read out, some people in the audience immediately broke down and cried, some secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but most people were still in a daze after hearing the news.
Senju Chen walked up to the high platform and stood next to the body of Yagura.
This time he was not wearing the High Tower instructor uniform. He was just wearing the most ordinary black combat uniform.
"I know what you want to ask."
"I regret to tell you that everything and everything Captain Anyue appealed is true."
Senju Chen As soon as these words came out, the people below the stage became visibly panicked.
"However, although you have made many mistakes over the years, the roots of the village have been crooked from the beginning. Although I was ordered by Genji to bring order to the village, you are not an insider. You just followed the village's orders. Therefore, although some things have happened, the responsibility is not yours."
"Starting today, Kirigakure will abolish the previous unreasonable policies. I also hope that everyone can feel guilty and let us rebuild Kirigakure."
"Because all of this was paid for by the seniors who died over the years and Master Genji, who sacrificed their lives for us Kirigakure."
Senju Chen After saying this, the audience was quiet for a while, and then suddenly burst into shouts.
"As expected of Master Genji!!!"
"Master Genji died so unjustly!!!"
"I was disrespectful to Master Genji back then, I really deserve to die!!!"
"Genji-sama bless you!!!"
When everyone was remembering Genji, someone suddenly shouted, "Please Kirisame Ryo, please inherit the legacy of Genji and Yagura, inherit the position of Mizukage, and rebuild Kirigakure!!!"
This sound was particularly loud. Senju Chen took a closer look and saw that it was actually Aying hidden in the crowd.
At the same time, people in the audience began to respond one after another.
"Yes, please Kirisame Ryo, Master Mizukage."
"Master Yagura is dead. Master Kirisame Ryo deserves to inherit the position of Mizukage."
"Mizukage!!!"
"Mizukage!!!"
"Mizukage!!!"
"..."
Senju Chen didn't expect that the style of painting would change like this. He looked at the excited crowd below and pressed down his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I am not suitable for the position of Mizukage. I have done so much not for the position of Mizukage. I have done all this to fulfill Genji's legacy and give us Kirigakure a clear and sunny day."
As soon as these words came out, the bottom exploded.
"Master Kirisame Ryo, besides you, who else can sit down?!"
"Assassination Squad recommends Kirisame Ryo as Kirigakure Mizukage!"
"High Tower recommends Kirisame Ryo as Kirigakure Mizukage!"
"You recovered the blood debt of our Yuki Clan on our behalf!"
" Master Genji's legacy is entrusted to you!"
"Master Yagura entrusted the village to you before he died!"
"..."
Seeing that he was suddenly and inexplicably recommended as the Shadow of a Village, Senju Chen also didn't know what to say.
He didn't expect that he would become Hokage, but instead he would become one of Shinobi World Five Great Shinobi Villages, Mizukage of Kirigakure!!!
I can only say that fate is always so unexpected!
"Well, since everyone is so kind but thinks highly of me, Kirisame Ryo, I will temporarily take over the position of Mizukage. After the name is confirmed and the reconstruction of the village is completed, the village will elect a more suitable candidate to take over."
Senju Chen As soon as he finished speaking, the people below immediately cheered.
"Mizukage-sama!!!"
"Mizukage-sama!!!"
"Mizukage-sama!!!"
"..."
"Everyone, please be quiet. Since I have temporarily taken over the position of Mizukage, I will announce three things now."
"First, the previous Blood Mist Policy in the village will be abolished from today. All wanted orders, arrest orders, and assassination orders based on Kekkei Genkai will be invalidated. Relevant family members will be compensated by the village."
"Second, Ninja Academy's death-match graduation system is abolished."
"Third, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, rebuild."
Zabuza's head suddenly raised.
The audience also burst into roars.
That kind of roar, Kirigakure Seven thousand people have not roared for more than ten years.
Senju Chen was watching this scene on the stage, tapping the palms of his hands lightly with his fingers in his sleeves.
I am the first person in history who directly acquired a big country because of a startup's "team building activities".
