'Butang 11 billion Ryo...?' As soon as Tsukihi thought about this, she felt a headache.
Now Tsukihi finally understood another reason why even after Terumi Mei came to power, Kirigakure's overall strength had not recovered much and still remained the weakest of the five great shinobi villages.
After a moment of silence, Tsukihi said to Yagura, “Before I thought that Kirigakure is a very sad shinobi village. It annihilated many shinobi clans, and seven elite swordsmen defected or died but your village could not do anything to recover the seven swords, there was also the fact that one Jinchuriki escaped, and the other Jinchuriki who is also Mizukage became a puppet in the hands of others, there are also many shinobi who defected from the village.”.
Yagura asked with a cold expression, "What do you want to mean?"
Tsukihi said, “Fact that I have started to see Kirigakure better after rethinking some things.”
Yagura frowned, "What do you mean?"
Tsukihi said with a smile, “Fakta that your village has not disappeared, even after all that it has been through, he said, and the fact that the village is still considered to be one of the five great shinobi villages is the thing that surprised me.”
Yagura fell silent and waited for Tsukihi to continue.
After inserting the Hydrificaiton Jutsu scroll into his Shinobi Bag, Tsukihi continued, “As it happens, even if Kirigakure is no longer engulfed in the flames of civil war, sooner or later it will happen again, he said, because such an economic debt would only bring more poverty and hunger in the village. People will scramble for food.. and Kirigakure will continue on the path of self-destruction.”
Yagura said, “But how to solve this problem? Daimyo does not support the village much because of our unstable history, there are no good subordinates left in the village who are willing to swear allegiance to me. The Council of Elders pressured me through all sorts of means to abdicate as soon as possible.We do not receive as much mission commission as other shinobi villages because of our reputation and because we are far from the mainland… Considering all these many things, I see no way for the village to recover. ”
After hearing Yagura Tsukihi think, 'In fact, Kirigakure had to change his policies drastically for the sake of existence, as a result, the place became a popular tourist destination during the reign of Rokudaime Mizukage after the fourth great shinobi war.'
A shinobi village becoming a popular tourist destination? It was one of the funniest things one could imagine.the name 'Bloody Mist Village' what was once feared by all nations because of his extraordinary shinobi and cruel nature became nothing more than a joke during the reign of Rukodaime Mizukage.
The reason for such a thing was also quite clear, they had to do it and had no other choice. Their roots were cut so deep, that there was no other hope of recovery. The losses that Kirigakure had suffered for so long had depleted his vitality so thoroughly that there was no other choice left.
It is surprising that even with all the wind and rain and storms that Kirigakure has faced over the years, it is, it still managed to flourish even if they had to do something as silly as turning their village into a tourist destination.
However, Tsukihi was clearly disgusted by the idea that Kirigakure would be a joke in the future and she would not let that happen no matter what. According to him, a village that was destroyed and no longer exists is a much better choice than being a tourist destination.
Yagura asked Tsukihi, "Is there any help the organization can provide to me and the village?"
Before Tsukihi, there was no one she could talk to and discuss with Yagura, but after becoming Amatsukami's subordinate, there were people she could talk to and share her problems with, and also ask for help to solve the problem.
Tsukihi was also thinking about how to solve this problem.
To solve economic problems, money is needed, but money will not just come out.
To get loyal subordinates, people must be willing to follow you, but their hearts will not change easily, especially after Yagura was once a puppet in Akatsuki's hands.
Kirigakure's history is what has happened in the village, irreversible. Building a positive reputation is not easy either.
After much deliberation, Tsukihi took another secret scroll and while studying it she said, “First, you don't have to worry about abdicating. You are still the strongest in Kirigakure, therefore no one can force you to abdicate if you do not personally take the initiative.”
The scroll he was studying right now was the secret Jutsu 'Boi Jockey' (Danger of Evaporating Tyranny). Steaming Danger Tyranny is 'Mugen Bakuha Ninjutsu' (Ninjutsu Infinite Explosion) Nidaime Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu .
'The ninjutsu is very powerful and practical.' – Tsukihi thought as she recalled the details of this Jutsu when it was used by Gengetsu.
Yagura said, “I'm worried that's not the case. Many members of the Elder Council placed their hopes on Terumi Mei, and even if she was not at my level, she was still strong enough, she might be able to catch up to me sooner or later. After all, he used two Kekkei Genkai, Futton (Released Boiled) and Yoton (Outside Lahar). He is fully qualified to replace me. ”
Tsukihi chuckled, “If you think that's the case, then make your move in such a way that she doesn't take the position of Mizukage.”
Yagura asked in surprise, "Are you saying that I should kill him?"
Tsukihi shook her head, and said, “Killing him is also an option, but I would say you better not do it. Killing him would solve this problem for now but it would further weaken Kirigakure in the long run.
Besides, I find him useful, people may not want to trust you, but they will want to believe him, and the fact that he loves this village makes him a good chess piece.
To prevent him from becoming a Mizukage, you must make the elders and himself realize that he is not ready to become a Mizukage, when in fact he is not ready.
As for the problem of solving the loyal subordinates? Start by earning Loyalty May, it will be your first step, if the candidate to become the next Mizukage becomes your loyal subordinate then you can use it as a means, if the candidate to become the next Mizukage becomes your loyal subordinate then you can use it as a means, or your representative to further gain the loyalty of others. In particular, he will help you restore the entire Kirigakure under your command.”
Yagura heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that she did not need to kill Terumi Mei, she wanted to ask something further but did not realize that at this moment Tsukihi was studying Tyranny of Steaming Dangers, she wanted to ask something further, therefore, his attention was on not him.
Therefore, Yagura decided to wait because what Tsukihi did was more important compared to Kirigakure.
Nidaime Mizukage uses Tyranny's Steaming Danger along with his special Mirage-type Genjutsu with the help of summoning a Giant Clam to fight and kill Nidaime Tsuchikage, albeit at the cost of his own life.
Nidaime Tsuchikage Mu is a powerful and hard-to-kill shinobi. He has mastered Jinton (Dust Release), along with special abilities that make it almost impossible for anyone to detect it.
Dust Element alone cannot be underestimated as it is a Kekkei Tota that is superior to Kekkei Genkai, it is a combination of Earth, Wind, and Fire Elements and is capable of destroying anything and everything at the molecular level. Its power was so destructive that its users were generally unmatched in combat and were able to fend off countless enemies.
However Nidaime Mizukage with his Tyranny Steaming Danger was able to kill Tsuchikage, this alone showed just how powerful this Jutsu was capable of exploding without limit.
While Tsukihi was busy studying, Yagura patiently waited like a good waiter without making any noise so as not to disturb Tsukihi in the middle of the road.
Yagura naturally did not care if the organization took this Jutsu, so without caring about it, she asked, “So? How should I make Terumi Mei loyal to me?
After pondering for a moment, Tsukihi said, “To gain her loyalty, use the weakness in her heart. Show yourself as the victim and the exploitation of his guilt and compassion, or perhaps even kindness and love if possible.”
Yagura looked at Tsukihi strangely, "Are you telling me to seduce her?"
Tsukihi nodded, “Do it if necessary. Love and Compassion is a very strong emotion, it can make him really attached to you, cherish you above everything, even above the village.”
Yagura said, "But I am married and even have children."
Tsukihi said, “Terupon you, use infidelity if you want, or maybe go for polygamy, or whatever suits you. Of course, If you don't want to, use other means, in short, take advantage of his emotional weakness to make him loyal to you. Be sure not to threaten it as it will be counterproductive in the long run.”
“I... I think I will think about it.” – Yagura nodded, although with a little hesitation, then she asked, “And how to make the elders realize that Mei is not ready to be Mizukage?”
After pondering for a moment, Tsukihi said, “Bringing back Utakata, Jinchuriki from Rokubi is important for your village, in which case the elders should not oppose your decision. So, give this mission to Terumi Mei, if she can bring back Utakata, then you will immediately abdicate, but if she fails then it means she is not ready.”
Yagura asked, "But shouldn't Utakata stay under the supervision of the organization so that the chances of him being hunted by Akatsuki are reduced?"
Tsukihi shook her head, “No, if more than one Jinchuriki disappeared, it would be suspicious, and Akatsuki would be able to see that Utakata was in Amatsukami's hands. That means unnecessary trouble.”
Yagura did not ask again and nodded, then asked again, “Alright, but what happens if Mei can bring back Utakata?”
Tsukihi smirked, "Amatsukami won't let her."
Yagura said, "It will make things easier, however, I'm afraid it won't convince the elders."
Tsukihi nodded, “But Mei will realize that she is not ready yet, and if she realizes it, then naturally she will not be willing to become a Mizukage even if the Elders insist. After all, he loved this village very much, didn't he? Therefore, he will not do anything that will threaten the safety of the village.”
Yagura nodded, "Hmm, I guess."
'Regarding Kirigakure's economic problems.maybe we can have Itachi play as Ishikawa Goemon as he did in Suna to threaten Daimyo and make him realize how much he needs Kirigakure.' Tsukihi thought as she looked at Itachi who was studying some Jutsu on the other side of this secret room.
…
Two days later.
Terumi Mei walked out of the Mizukage building with a thoughtful expression.
Ao and an elder immediately asked him, “So? What does Mizukage say?”
Mei replied as she revealed a scroll, “This scroll has a map that records the position of the last sighting of Utakata. The same Yondaime has ordered me to form a hunting unit to capture and bring back Utakata.” After a pause, Mei continued, "He also stated that if I complete this task, he will take the initiative to immediately abdicate and appoint me as the Godaime Mizukage."
"That's great!" some of Mei's followers cheered.
But Ao was different, and said with a frown, "If we want to capture Utakata, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, the chances of completing this mission are very low, maybe even more difficult than killing him."
Mei nodded with a sigh, "Even I am not confident enough to catch him in a one-on-one fight."
According to Mei and Ao, the shinobi best suited to complete this mission is Yondaime himself, or perhaps Kisame, but Kisame has defected so he is no longer an option.
So the best option is Mizukage himself, who is also a Jinchuriki.
But Yondaime had given Mei this mission as a test to check if she was qualified to inherit the position of Mizukage, thus, Mei had no other choice but to accept this mission. If he refused then it meant that he would also lose the qualification to become the next Mizukage. And given that he was the only candidate currently qualified to become a Mizukage so if he lost this qualification then no one could replace Mizukage.
The elder asked, "Are there any conditions that Mizukage gave the same for this mission?"
Mei shook her head, "No, I'm allowed to use all available resources."
Ao said, “That makes things a little easier, maybe we can beat Utakata with numbers. And since we know the approximate location, so we can set up a follow-up trap and ambush it.”
Mei's expression became firm, then she instructed all her subordinates around her, "Prepare everything, we'll be leaving in an hour."
For the mission given by this Mizukage, Mei didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, because if she couldn't even complete this mission, it would be impossible for her, then he was completely ineligible to inherit the position of the next Mizukage.
