In Mist Village, the Rational Faction members, led by Genshi, were all gathered inside Genshi's residence.
Ever since the Third Mizukage was suspected of being killed by Konoha ninja Yamanaka Kei at the Mountain Graveyard in the Land of Iron while on an outing.
Mist Village was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
It was running wildly out of control on a path they couldn't understand at all.
First, Yagura Karatachi, the former Anbu leader, sealed the Three Tails into his body and suddenly became the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.
He gained the support of many radicals in the village, ascended to the position of Fourth Mizukage, and began to purge some of the middle and high-level officials who disagreed with him.
Later, while on an outing to discuss a joint attack on Konoha with Iwagakure and Sand Village.
Yagura Karatachi was killed by Konoha ninja Yamanaka Kei on the border of the Land of Fire.
Again Konoha, again Yamanaka Kei.
Before they could grieve for the successive loss of two Mizukage.
Even more unacceptable things happened to these members of the Rational Faction.
A woman named Uchiha Hikaru actually forcibly controlled most of the radical high-level officials through Genjutsu and Brainwashing.
And summoned tens of thousands of strange white soldiers, forcibly suppressing all dissenting voices in the village.
Ascending to the position of Fifth Mizukage!
That was an Uchiha!
An Uchiha from Konoha!
Their two Mizukage had just died at the hands of Konoha ninjas, and now the position of Mizukage had actually fallen into the hands of an Uchiha from Konoha.
What irony and humiliation this was!
Although they heard from those radical factions who seemed like fanatics that this woman named Uchiha Hikaru was actively preparing the village's forces, wanting to fight an unprecedented war with Konoha.
But who knew if this was a conspiracy by Konoha!
How could they possibly trust a woman named Uchiha!
"Lord, are we just going to do nothing?"
Ao, a Mist Jonin with both eyes intact, was filled with unwillingness and indignation in his expression.
He was not originally a subordinate of Genshi, but facing the increasing number of Uchiha Hikaru fanatics in the village.
With some rationality left, where else could he go but here?
"One day, the Sunlight will penetrate the thick fog and dispel the bloody Haze, perhaps everything is not as bad as you think."
Genshi's eyes flickered with wise light.
After Uchiha Hikaru took control of most of the village's power, it was impossible for her not to discover their existence.
But the other party did not use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to control them.
Everything in the world has a cause and effect.
All of Uchiha Hikaru's actions thus far have been strongly purposeful.
Since he left them behind, there must be a time when they can be of use!
A few days ago, along with the news of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi's death, came the news that Konoha proposed merging villages with Sand Village and Iwagakure.
If the three great ninja villages successfully merge this time, who can resist such power?
Mist Village cannot, nor can Cloud Village, which has already ceased fighting with Hidden Mist!
Their path ahead seems dark.
But perhaps this is the deepest darkness before dawn, and the light of dawn will eventually illuminate the sky!
Bi, Gonbei, and other Genshi confidants showed thoughtful expressions.
Mei Terumi, who is about the same age as Kakashi and still just a cute and silly girl, blinked blankly, intuitively hearing a jumble of confusion.
...
Northwestern Wind Country.
Thousands of towering spires stand majestically in the depths of the desert.
Yamanaka Kei sat on the back of the Hawk Falcon Pidgeot, one hand over his eyes, gazing at this magnificent country that could be called a desert miracle.
Rouran, as a small country within the Wind Country.
Because the royal family has guarded the Dragon Vein for generations, it is nominally protected by the Wind Country.
It's just that the current Daimyo of the Wind Country is indulging in pleasure, and doesn't even care much about the Sand Village, which serves as the country's military force, often cutting military spending, so how could they care about Rouran.
According to the records in Konoha.
Rouran should be a small country troubled by sand and storms all day long, with extremely poor and backward people.
To be able to build such a spectacular city...
"An Lushan? Or Hyakuzu? That shouldn't be..."
Yamanaka Kei stroked his chin with one hand.
Although he is currently busy integrating the power of the three great ninja villages, he cannot continue to ignore the Dragon Vein.
Especially when the [Multi-Dimensional Traveler] needs a lot of energy.
How could he allow others to have the opportunity to touch the power of the Dragon Vein in the future?
Wait...
Could it be that the future him deliberately sent someone over to let them build Rouran!
After all, even if he had the heart to develop a backward tribe swept by yellow sand all day long, it would be impossible for a single Wood Release to solve all the problems.
But if someone helped him build the basic town facilities.
Then a few more Wood Releases...
"Who will come?"
Yamanaka Kei had the Hawk Falcon Pidgeot land outside the city walls of Rouran.
He watched the ordinary residents at the city gate, their expressions faintly revealing a hint of fear, as he surveyed the surrounding buildings and layout, and then stepped inside.
Clack... Clack...
Figures of standardized Puppets shuttled through the streets.
Slender Chakra threads, passing through Chakra pipelines that connected the entire city, controlled these weapon-wielding Puppet guards, who constantly patrolled.
Different from the bulky and heavy Puppets in the original story.
These Puppets were well-proportioned and had enchanting figures. If one didn't look closely at their exposed joints and faces, their appearance was almost indistinguishable from real people.
Moreover...
The more he looked at them, the more they resembled those dolls that single men liked to use!
The ordinary residents on the street seemed to be used to these Puppet guards, whose patrols were more charming than a fashion show.
The cries of small vendors rose and fell, and the people walking through the streets bargained with the vendors from time to time.
Although most of the men were in the underground 'Arsenal', doing all kinds of work, judging from the information Yamanaka Kei received from his sensory ninjutsu feedback, they didn't seem to be subjected to any exploitation or torture.
More like...
Working in a factory?
"Could they really be the people I sent?"
Yamanaka Kei didn't believe that the Sand Village rogue ninja named Hyakuzu in the original story would treat the residents of Rouran so kindly.
With a hint of curiosity.
He walked all the way to the tallest and most luxurious tower in the center of the city.
The current Queen of Rouran, Sāya, was already waiting in front of the tower gate with more than a dozen of her ministers.
Yamanaka Kei's gaze swept over the ministers behind her.
He noticed at first glance a little girl wearing Rouran ethnic clothes, but with heavy makeup on her face, her light blue hair tied into pigtails, and holding an ugly doll Puppet in her arms, her style completely different from everyone around her.
This is...
Saya?
The memories in Yamanaka Kei's mind flashed quickly, and he quickly found a character in the original story whose appearance was very similar to hers.
"..."
Saya, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, showed a strong light of admiration in her eyes the moment she saw Yamanaka Kei.
It seemed like she couldn't help but rush over to say something in the next moment.
But then she suddenly seemed to remember something.
Saya puffed up her small face and forcibly suppressed the impulse in her heart, obediently standing in place.
A pair of big eyes with dark red eye shadow blinked non-stop.
She kept throwing flirtatious glances at Yamanaka Kei.
"Your Excellency, please."
The current Queen Sāya of Rouran gave a slight bow to Yamanaka Kei.
Her dignified face wore a faint smile as she waved away the ministers following behind her and gestured for Yamanaka Kei to enter.
"Um... Queen Sāya, you're too kind."
Yamanaka Kei returned the bow.
This development seems completely different from the scene he had imagined before coming
