Although Genji was already a terrible old man, he had served as Elder Kirigakure for so many years, so he had naturally played all sorts of schemes and intriguesto perfection.
His thoughts were also very simple, and he wanted to forcefully pin this blame on the restless Kumogakure.
Then, he would draw the attention of the other great powers over, so as to buy time for Kirigakure to calm down.
Think about it. Kumogakure had once sent hundreds of people to infiltrate Kirigakure silently. Now, after nearly three years, they had attacked again and killed Mizukage. Was it reasonable and logical?
This also proved that Kumogakure's original goal was to assassinate Mizukage.
As for his goal, there was no need to say. In the Third Ninja War, he couldn't take advantage of Konoha and instead suffered a big loss.
It was naturally normal for him to target them.
After all, they, Kirigakure, had always been in turmoil and it was best to act.
And to be able to secretly kill Mizukage in Kirigakure's base camp, this was enough to prove that the 'wolf ambition' of Kumogakure was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and he must have developed an extremely strong force in the dark.
This way, the other great countries would have a deeper fear of Kumogakure and secretly be on guard.
Under such circumstances, no matter what kind of reaction Kumogakure made, it would be overinterpreted.
If he attacked Kirigakure out of humiliation, then it would be even more solid that Kumogakure wanted to stir up the Fourth Ninja War.
As for the other major powers, they naturally wouldn't just watch as Kirigakure was swallowed up by Kumogakure.
In addition, don't forget that Iwagakure was Kumogakure's sworn enemy. The war that Konoha and Kumogakure had initiated hadn't even ended for a few years, so it was naturally impossible to say that they didn't hate Kumogakure.
Thus, they, Kirigakure, were able to survive in the cracks. At the very least, they still had six-tailed in their hands.
To be able to think of using the conflicts between countries in such a short period of time to reduce the actual situation of Kirigakure being weak and not let Kirigakure become a piece of meat on the chopping board of the other major powers, Genji's wisdom was truly extraordinary.
Moreover, there was another benefit to doing so, to let the entire Kirigakure form a group and face the enemy together.
To use the death of Mizukage to alleviate the previous conflict, and use the life and death crisis of the country to twist everyone's strength into a rope.
It could be said that in the eyes of smart people, anything had two pros and cons. Even in such a terrible situation, Genji could make use of Mizukage's death to make a big fuss and turn the situation around.
Then, Genji's next order was to recall Terumi Mei immediately and let her deal with internal affairs as Mizukage.
And the real power was naturally in his hands.
He could let Terumi Mei be the acting Mizukage, and he could also take back this power.
It was only until he thought that Terumi Mei was already a qualified Mizukage that he would truly let go of the power.
This was also to prevent history from repeating itself again. At the same time, it was also to inspect Terumi Mei and give her time to grow.
Genji believed that in another ten years, Kirigakure would definitely be able to crawl out of the quagmire!
At the same time, Aoba and the others who had successfully evacuated Kirigakure also did not stay in the Land of Water for too long.
After the time of Zanpakuto's use was over, Aoba parted with the others and continued to 'wander'. He also told Kakuzu to tell Pain that if there were no big movements in the near future, he should not contact him.
Aoba naturally had his confidence when he said this, and this time, even Kakuzu did not feel that there was anything wrong.
The money-making missions that Akatsuki usually took did not require to 'trouble' Yasuo, not to mention that Akatsuki already had enough people.
Therefore, the group of people went their separate ways.
Hidan was somewhat envious of Yasuo's easy character and 'freedom', but it was very clear that he was not qualified to raise any conditions with the leader right now.
After separating, Aoba, who was full of gains on this trip, found a safe corner without anyone and directly 'teleported' back to Konoha. Then, he easily recalled 'Naruto'.
No one knew that during this period of time when he was in seclusion, he actually ran to the Land of Water and killed Kirigakure Mizukage.
Even if he said it, no one would believe it.
He used the[Eye Of Perception]and casually landed. After making sure that no one was watching him around, he began to hum a tune and count the harvest this time.
Although it was a bit strange that when he assassinated Mizukage this time, the system actually did not issue him a death-seeking mission.
However, he did not care too much about it.
First of all, his [Frozen Throne] had absorbed Mizukage's soul. Although after transforming into a ghost ninja, Mizukage only retained half of his strength when he was alive, even half of it was enough to beat the ordinary Jonin.
He believed that as he killed more and more powerful enemies, [Frozen Throne] would gradually grow into the strongest trump card in his hands.
Next was Yagura's corpse.
Don't misunderstand, he was not going to sell it for money, but was considering whether he should give it to Sasori or Nagato in the future?
Sasori should be very interested in the corpse of Fourth Mizukage. Nagato might be a little lacking, but if he could be used to make one of Pain Rikudou Sennin, he would probably not refuse.
This was a bargaining chip, and he would talk about it later.
Finally, it was this broadsword - Samehada·
After a few years, he had finally collected seven ninja swords. Next, he could summon the Dragon God! It was the Summoning System!
He spread out the scrolls that had seven ninja swords sealed. With a bang, all the seals were lifted.
Looking at the seven ninja swords that he had painstakingly collected, Aoba was very curious about what level of treasure chest and skill cards the system would give him this time.
He remembered clearly that this mission would increase the rewards based on the number of ninja swords collected during the settlement.
Therefore, he chose the mission settlement without hesitation!
The seven ninja swords in front of him all disappeared.
Then on the calculation page, he saw the reward exchanged for seven ninja swords!
A special treasure chest with a prefix of the best quality and a super skill card!
Ignoring the top-grade special treasure chest, just this super skill card was enough to make a profit!
This was because this super skill card could allow any of his skills to upgrade to Level 9 to complete [Breakthrough Limit]!
Even though he still did not know what the real purpose of [Breakthrough Limit] was, he was sure that it was not as simple as just upgrading his skill to Level 10.
His intuition told him that it was very likely to be the result of a qualitative change.
Moreover, if he wanted to obtain a super skill card, under normal circumstances, he would have to complete a super suicide mission that was even more deceptive than Gold Level Death-Seeking Mission in order to obtain it.
With such a comparison, it could only be said that his efforts had not been in vain, and he had not waited in vain for the past few years.
Otherwise, if he had calculated the reward in advance, he would definitely not have been able to get this super skill card.
After the excitement, Aoba fell into a happy distress.
Should he use it now or keep it for later use?
If he used it, which ability should he give it to use?
