Mei Terumi's face turned red and she wished she could find a place to hide in. Her behavior just now was totally unbecoming of a Mizukage.
"Ahem. Ahem."
Kaito coughed lightly, diverting everyone's attention from Terumi Mei, and continued:
"I don't have any other intention in saying this. I just want everyone to understand the current situation of the Mist Village. I don't want to see anyone tripping over each other."
Having said that, Kaito turned his head and looked at Utakata who was unconscious beside him.
Everyone present immediately understood. It was obvious that Lord Kaito was somewhat dissatisfied with the defection of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
However, two people present breathed a sigh of relief. At least from the current situation, Lord Kaito had no intention of causing trouble for them.
Kaito looked at the people who were getting nervous again because of what he had just said, and chuckled:
"I have said enough today. Let's leave it to the Mizukage-sama. After all, this is the Mizukage-sama's home ground."
After Kaito finished speaking, he placed the scroll next to the booklet back in front of Terumi Mei, although he did not open it to read the contents on it.
But it's easy to guess that the content on the scroll is nothing more than an order.
When Mei Terumi saw the scroll that Lord Kaito put back, she was slightly stunned. She naturally knew that Lord Kaito did this because he didn't want to damage her reputation.
Mei Terumi raised the corner of her mouth slightly. It seemed that Lord Kaito underestimated her. The fact that she could become the Mizukage and even had a certain reputation among the civilians was not just because of her strong strength.
What's more, this matter has the support of the Village Elder. Thinking of this, Terumi Mei glanced secretly in the direction of the Village Elder.
A faint smile flashed in Terumi Mei's eyes. What she was going to do next would probably surprise even Lord Kaito.
Thinking about seeing the surprised expression on Lord Kaito's face later, Terumi Mei couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Ahem… ahem."
At this moment, the elder Yuanshi, who had his eyes half-closed as if he was about to fall asleep, suddenly started coughing violently, causing everyone to look at him sideways.
The middle-aged man sitting next to the Elder Yuanshi suddenly looked extremely sad, and his tone was full of worry. He said to the Elder Yuanshi:
"Teacher, your health is getting worse and worse. You can't go on like this. You need to pay more attention to rest."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, those with a keen sense of smell among the people present immediately noticed something unusual.
Kaito, who was sitting next to him, had a puzzled look in his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man who was speaking. The booklet that Mei Terumi gave him contained an introduction to this middle-aged man.
His name seems to be Gonbei, and he seems to be a close confidant of the Village Elder.
The reason why Kaito was confused was that he felt that what Gonbei said seemed to be spoken to him.
"Ahem... ahem, yes, I'm old and not in good health."
The elder master nodded in agreement with Gonbei's words, with a look of admiration on his face.
Bang!
Accompanied by a slight sound, except for Terumi Mei who had a calm expression, everyone looked at Gonbei who suddenly stood up, and were a little confused for a moment.
"Mitsuki-sama, I think you understand the teacher's condition. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
After saying that, Gonbei sat back down again, looking at the Village Elder with a worried expression on his face, as if the Village Elder was about to go and see the previous generations of Mizukage at any time.
Kaito looked at Gonbei worried expression and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This acting is too much!
The elder Yuanshi was indeed a little old, but just from his spirit, Kaito could tell that this old guy could live for another three or four years without any problem.
A slight sigh came from Terumi Mei's mouth.
Terumi Mei showed a look of reluctance and worry on her face, and she looked at everyone and slowly said:
"In fact, Elder Yuan has submitted applications several times before, but I rejected them the last few times. But now, for Elder Yuan's health, I have to make the following decision."
As Mei Terumi spoke, even those with the slowest reaction knew that something big was about to happen in the Mist Village.
"From today on, Yuanshi voluntarily resigns from the position of elder. At the same time, Yuanshi recommends Lord Kaito as the new elder. This scroll contains Yuanshi's letter of recommendation and my official signature as the Mizukage."
Mei Terumi spoke slowly, opening the scroll and showing it to everyone. At the bottom of the scroll were the names of the Master and Mei Terumi.
And in the column for the appointment of elders, Kaito's name was written.
When everyone saw the contents of the scroll that Mei Terumi unfolded, a look of shock appeared on their faces.
Even Kaito couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment on his face. Who would have thought that Mei Terumi had quietly teamed up with the Village Elder to accomplish such a big thing.
Moreover, as the appointed person, Kaito didn't even know about it in advance!
For a moment, Kaito was a little bit amused and helpless. He had been worried that his arrival would affect Terumi Mei's reputation as the Mizukage, but now it seems that his worry was completely unnecessary.
This little girl had not only quietly arranged everything for him, but from today onwards, in a sense, he had become her subordinate...
Yoshiro Kinoshita and Masamitsu Tsuchida, who were sitting at the conference table, had their faces changed drastically!
Not only did Elder Yuanshi not discuss such an important matter with them, he didn't even reveal a single piece of information to them!
They were both abandoned!
The same thought occurred to Kinoshita Yoshiro and Tsuchida Masamitsu at the same time.
Masamitsu Tsuchida had an unsightly expression on his face, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes. As one of the management, he could naturally raise objections.
However, before Tsuchida Masamitsu could object, the elder master coughed lightly and stood up quietly.
The elder Yuanshi nodded slightly to Kaito and Terumi Mei, then turned his head and glanced at everyone calmly, saying:
"The position of elder is different from other positions. Those who can serve as elders must be the best in terms of status, seniority, and loyalty to the village. Currently, the only one who can do this in the entire Mist Village is Lord Kaito."
As the elder master spoke, even though Tsuchida Masamitsu wanted to refuse, he couldn't find a reason to do so for a moment.
In terms of status, Lord Kaito is the first generation, and there is no one in the entire Mist Village with a higher status than Kaito.
In terms of seniority, it goes without saying that Lord Kaito is probably older than Elder Yuan.
When it comes to loyalty, no one can talk about loyalty with Lord Kaito. After all, in a sense, the Mist Village was founded by Lord Kaito.
