**Chapter 935: The Opponent is the World Government!**
I don't know if it was mentioned before.
The scale and speed of impact the World Government's 'crossing' has on a world is completely different from that of an individual or small organization's 'crossing'. Even if the World Government, with its immense scale, only extends one 'finger', it will cause comprehensive and unimaginable impacts and changes to the world being 'crossed'. And these will, without exception, develop in a more chaotic direction, spiraling out of control.
Just like now, even though the World Government hasn't launched a full-scale invasion, merely occupying a small Rōran and dispatching a few High-Level Combatants to act around has already caused the continuous deaths of four Daimyo in the Ninja World, plunging it into a great crisis of destruction.
However, in this process, one place seems remarkably calm and peaceful.
The Land of Water, separated from the Ninja World Continent by the sea!
The people of this country are like spectators watching a fire from the other shore. Apart from dispatching a Ninja Unit led by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to support Konohagakure, they have made no other moves.
But this doesn't mean they are truly indifferent.
As the largest military Tissue in this country, Kirigakure, after receiving the Intelligence shared by Konohagakure, gained a certain understanding of the World Government's origins. This is also why they didn't take advantage of Cloud Hidden Village's Hollow to launch an attack, and instead sent a large number of Experts to aid Konohagakure.
The current Third Mizukage, since he had no name in the Canon, was referred to as the 'Most Mysterious Man'. And in This World, he naturally has a Name.
Eiji Kazahana!
His Bloodline Limit is Ice Release!
He is the Disciple of the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu.
In the Canon, the reason Haku had to hide his surname was because Kirigakure at the time was implementing a cruel policy of persecuting Bloodline Limits throughout the Land of Water. But now there is no need for that. After all, this was originally something Uchiha Obito from the Canon manipulated the Fourth Mizukage into doing in the shadows.
At this moment, in the Mizukage Conference Room.
Eiji Kazahana, wearing the Mizukage's White Robe, sat at the center of the Round Table, facing north. The blue Mizukage's Hat rested quietly on the Tabletop in front of him. On either side were Elders who were Jonin in Ninja Rank.
It is worth mentioning that Grand Elder Yuan Shi, who holds the same Authority as the Mizukage in Kirigakure, was also sitting at the other end, holding a Snake-shaped Cane. Because there is a written rule that whenever the most important matters are involved, even the Mizukage must consult the Grand Elder's Opinion. However, the current Grand Elder is not as frail as he was twenty-three years later in the Canon.
"Everyone is aware of the Situation."
Eiji Kazahana looked at everyone present with a heavy tone: "Following Sunagakure, Konohagakure has also been occupied by the World Government."
"Furthermore, from the Intelligence transmitted back, it can be basically confirmed that Stone Village and Cloud Hidden Village have likely also chosen Submission."
"Now, among the Five Great Nations, only we remain. It won't be long before Experts or Troops from the World Government arrive..."
As his voice fell, the Meeting Room on the top floor of the Mizukage's Office Building fell into Dead Silence. Everyone was frowning and deep in Thought.
They clearly understood the deeper meaning of the Third Mizukage's words. He was asking them whether to fight or surrender.
First of all, if they were to fight, it seemed impossible to win! Even if they included the past Mizukage, Kirigakure didn't have Experts at the level of Hashirama Senju. Not to mention the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, no one on their side knew it either.
But the problem was, they couldn't surrender!
Why?
Because of their Daimyo...
Judging from the situation where the Daimyo of the other four Nations successively died, with two of them explicitly dying at the hands of Crocodile, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire also suspected to have been 'assassinated' by people from the World Government. The opponent definitely doesn't plan to spare the Daimyo here in the Land of Water.
That Daimyo Lord has been trembling with Fear recently, living in terror day and night. He even frantically ordered them to dispatch all Ninja to protect him. Kirigakure naturally complied. Now, nearly three thousand Ninja are stationed in the Land of Water Capital. The Commander is Daichi Terumi, whose Strength is second only to the Third Mizukage.
Although that Name sounds strange.
Daichi Terumi is the current Clan Leader of the Terumi Clan. His family's Bloodline Limit, Boil Release, has been cultivated to perfection, capable of contending equally with the Third Mizukage's Ice Release.
As for Lava Release.
This is a new Bloodline Limit created by his Daughter, Mei Terumi, who is eight years old this year, in the 'Future'. So Daichi Terumi and the other current Terumi Clansmen do not possess Lava Release. However, if she has Descendants in the future, they might Awaken Lava Release or Boil Release. With good Luck, they might even possess both, like Mei Terumi.
A family possessing Dual Bloodline Limits like this seems to be unique in the entire Ninja World?
Furthermore.
Ninja from the Kazahana Clan and Ninja from the Hozuki Clan are responsible for guarding the Daimyo Palace Castle. Even when the Daimyo sleeps at night, two people will stand guard beside him. After all, the precedent set by the Land of Fire is still vivid.
As for the famous Kaguya Clan...
Those crazy guys whose heads are filled with nothing but Combat. They barely care about the Mizukage's Order, let alone protecting the Daimyo.
However, Eiji Kazahana has a Method. He dispatched Anbu Ninja to deliver a message, telling them that if they guard near the Capital City, there's a high Probability of encountering Otherworld Experts who come to Attack the Daimyo.
That's right, he used 'Otherworld Expert' as Bait.
As expected.
The Taketori Clan couldn't resist this Temptation and set off with their belongings that very day. Mainly because there are no smart people among them, or rather, no one willing to think things through carefully. Otherwise, they should have thought about how to join the World Government and Exchange Blows with more Otherworld Experts, instead of fighting desperately against the World Government.
It must be said that Kimimaro's Calmness Personality is indeed an Anomaly in this family.
There are also considerable differences in Ability. Compared to Kimimaro, who can manipulate his entire skeleton. The current Taketori Clansmen can generally only manipulate a very small part of their Bones. For example, knuckle bones, finger bones, leg bones...
Apart from that, their Bones are also much tougher than ordinary people's. Cutting them with a Blade would at most break the skin, but wouldn't damage the Bone itself. Their Physical Strength is also stronger, and their Self-healing speed is faster, fitting the basic characteristics of a Sage Body. This is also why in the Canon, it was said that the Taketori Clansmen felt Fear towards Kimimaro's existence. The Bloodline Limit level difference between them was simply too great.
Perhaps this is also a form of Bloodline Regression?
However, the Lifespan of the Taketori Clan is generally very short, and the more times they use Shikotsumyaku, the faster they die. Coupled with the fact that they are all Combat fanatics and don't care about these matters at all, the family's population has always been less than a hundred. It can be said to be a Tribe that could face Destruction at any time.
And the reason the Taketori Clan has been able to continue to this day.
Is thanks to the support of the Mizukage Lords of these generations and other families. Because they are well aware of how strong the Taketori Clan's Combat Talent is. And Kirigakure needs to Resist other Ninja Villages. So they not only tolerate the various troubles caused by the Taketori Clansmen in all aspects but also arrange for women to go there for Procreation, and their food and drink are also fully provided.
This results in the Taketori Clan truly only needing to think about Combat and reproduction every day.
Of course.
Once War breaks out, they must also rush to the very front...
[Knock, knock, knock!]
Just then, the door to the Meeting Room was knocked urgently. Immediately after, an Anbu Ninja rushed in, pushing the door open.
"Lord Mizukage! The Daimyo Capital City is under Attack!"
"What!"
Eiji Kazahana suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "How many people are there on the other side? What's the Situation now?"
"The Flying Hawk's Intelligence says the Attacker is one person..."
The Anbu Ninja's voice was clearly trembling. Eiji Kazahana's Pupils also suddenly contracted.
In the past, if they heard that one person was attacking, they might have thought it was overestimating oneself. But now, the meaning of one person attacking... has become that the arrival likely possesses extremely terrifying Strength!
If you ask why?
Because the opponent is the World Government!
(Author's note: I'm tired, and everyone is tired too. Tomorrow is a day off as usual. Have a good Children's Day, I'm still a Child this year~~~)
(Author's note: By the way, let me ask, does everyone like this book? What do you like about it?)
