Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Now that Kirigakure Village has reached this point, the only way Terumi Mei can think of is to take the initiative.

Passive defense will only make the situation worse. The Akatsuki organization's pertinence will be maximized, and Kirigakure Village will fall into a passive defense situation.

As long as the Akatsuki organization's home base is found, or the Akatsuki organization's weakness is grasped, Kirigakure can rely on its numerical advantage to completely wipe out the Akatsuki organization.

Although this method is just wishful thinking, the feasibility is much better than "closing the country aside".

After all, there is only a thousand days to ward off thieves, but there is no saying that a thousand days to prevent thieves.

However, Terumi Mei's ideas and countermeasures were destined to fail. Not only was the Akatsuki organization's base in the Rain Ninja Village well-hidden, but its members' intelligence confidentiality was also extremely well done.

Apart from the fact that there are a few Uchiha clan members in the Akatsuki organization and some rebellious ninjas in each force, the various forces in various countries don't know anything else.

The reason why this situation occurs is inseparable from the secret support of Konoha Village. The underground intelligence networks owned by the major hidden villages have ceased to exist in name only due to the interference of Konoha intelligence ninjas.

"Lord Mizukage, I'm very sorry. We don't have any information about the base of the Akatsuki organization yet. We don't even know who the leader of the Akatsuki organization is."

Ao lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Mei Terumi opposite.

But one thing Ao didn't tell Terumi Mei was that he was actually a non-staff member of the Shell organization.

Yes, Qing also belongs to the Shell organization and secretly helps the Shell organization find the so-called "body".

Aoya once used his identity to use the shell organization to detect specific information about the Akatsuki organization.

After all, the Shell Organization has existed for thousands of years, and it undoubtedly has an advantage over the emerging Akatsuki Organization.

Unfortunately, Ci Xian, the leader of the Shell organization, did not respond to Qing, let alone leak the information about the Akatsuki organization that the Shell organization knew.

As for why Ci Xian did this, in the final analysis it was because of Hatake Akira.

Ji Xian didn't want to attract Akira Hatake's prying eyes too much because of a small Akatsuki organization, which would not be helpful in the resurrection of Otsutsuki Ishiki.

What's more, only if the water in the ninja world becomes muddier, the shell organization will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. At this time, it is best to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

After losing the intelligence support of the Shell Organization, and the secret intelligence network of Kirigakure Village being destroyed by Konoha Intelligence Ninja, the entire Kirigakure Village has always been convinced that the Akatsuki Organization has nothing to do.

"Could it be...could it be that the only way to give Kirigakure Village a chance of survival is to agree to Hatake Akira's request?!"

Boom!

Terumi Mei hammered her desk angrily, feeling very bad. Once she agreed to Hatake Akira's proposal in the document, even if Kirigakure Village could survive, it would lose hope for the future.

After a brief vent, Terumi Mei calmed down and said, "Ao, tell me if Konoha and Hatake Akira are behind the Akatsuki organization's affairs."

Terumi Mei's judgment was well-founded. Among the members of the Akatsuki organization who came to attack the ninjas of Kirigakure Village, there were several ninjas from the Uchiha clan, and they had Mangekyō Sharingan per capita.

Needless to say what Uchiha represents, it is easy for people to connect the Akatsuki organization with Konoha.

However, what Terumi Mei can think of, Hatake Akira can naturally think of, and he has already filled this loophole.

As for how to make up for it, it was thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi who had died in the rebellion.

Everyone is already dead, so it doesn't matter if they take the blame one more time, and Danzo Shimura, the biggest scapegoat in the ninja world, has become Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, due to the special nature of the Akatsuki organization, Hiruzen Sarutobi's blame can only be positive. When Akira Hatake decided to let Uchiha Shisui join the Akatsuki organization, he announced that Uchiha Shisui would become a rebel ninja of Konoha.

As for the reason, it was naturally because Uchiha Shisui opposed the decision of Konoha's top brass and brazenly launched a rebellion when Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi Hatake were out.

Because of this rebellion, Hiruzen Sarutobi died, and Shisui Uchiha defected.

Konoha, which had long been looking for a reason, had already cut ties with several Uchihas in the Akatsuki organization. Even if some people were suspicious, it would not help.

"It's possible, but totally unnecessary."

Ao, who was standing on Terumi Mei's side, shook his head, "Just imagine, with Konoha's current strength, if they want to unify the ninja world, they can just do it horizontally. There is no need for such trouble."

"Right……"

Terumi Mei nodded, agreeing more with Qing's statement.

In the subconscious mind of ninjas, the strong can dominate everything. As the most powerful hidden village in the ninja world, Konoha can launch a winning war of unification.

Terumi Mei, who had just become the Fifth Mizukage, had not yet transformed his ninja identity into a political identity, and he mostly thought about things from a ninja's perspective, and was quite slow to respond to Konoha's plans.

"Do we really have to agree to Hatake Akira's unreasonable request?"

But one code after another, making Kirigakure Village a subordinate ninja village of Konoha, this incident still made Terumi Mei feel indignant and unwilling.

"Mizukage-sama, the Akatsuki organization is a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. We can't kill it with one strike, so we can only be slowly eaten away by the Akatsuki organization."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, we have lost the initiative. The only result of procrastination is..."

Having said this, Ao stopped talking. Terumi Mei could also understand what Ao wanted to express.

"But... I'm really not willing to give in!"

Terumi Mei scratched her hair, her face as if wearing a mask of pain, "If we don't agree to Hatake Akira's request, we will die slowly, but if we agree, the result..."

"No, Mizukage-sama." Ao shook his head, "This is just a temporary measure. As long as we get through this difficulty and wait for Konoha to decline again, we will have another chance."

"Don't forget, our Kingdom of Water is separated from the Kingdom of Fire by a sea. Even if we become a ninja village under Konoha, they will be beyond their reach."

"Let me think about it..."

Mei Terumi did not make an immediate decision, and waved her hand to signal Ao to leave the Mizukage office.

Faced with Terimi Mei's order, Qing could only obey.

After Ao left, Terumi Mei leaned back on the chair, the helplessness and pain on her face clearly revealed.

I originally thought that after overthrowing the rule of Goju Yagura, Kirigakure Village would get better again, but after actually taking over the management of Kirigakure Village, Terumi Mei realized that Kirigakure Village was really in bad shape!

The talent training program of "Blood Mist" has alienated everyone in Kirigakure Village, and there is no even the most basic trust between ninjas.

In addition to ninjas, the residents of Kirigakure Village also hate each other. After all, under the "Blood Mist" policy, genin who graduate from the ninja school must graduate on the corpses of their companions.

It can be said that the hands of the genin of Kirigakure Village are stained with the blood of their companions, and those ninja students who died are not orphans, they also have relatives and friends.

Judging from this situation, it is surprising that the residents of Kirigakure Village can live in peace!

In such a mess, coupled with the high pressure from the outside world, the collapse of Kirigakure Village doesn't even need a straw...

After thinking for a while, Terumi Mei gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and signed her name on the document tremblingly.
