Chapter 264 A request from the Ghost Lantern Clan!
They are acquaintances, Mangetsu Hozuki and Mei Terumi.
Just met.
"Lord Dohei, please save the Kizuna clan!"
Kitsune Mangetsu came up with a request that was completely incomprehensible.
"??"
Tang Ping's mind was full of question marks.
Because he didn't know why the other party said that.
Even the memories of the time travelers could not find any relevant clues.
wrong!
He suddenly thought of something.
That is, Mangetsu Hozuki, the brother of Suigetsu Hozuki, the future second pillar of the team, died very early and the cause of death is unknown.
Is it because of this incident?
"It's like this. The Kizuki clan is extremely dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage. The conflict between the two sides is getting more and more intense. Recently, the Kizuki clan has been gathering strength to 'resist'...!"
Mei Terumi, who came with Mangetsu Kizuki, saw that Douhei was confused and gave a clear explanation.
It has to be said that there is a reason why she will become the Mizukage in the future.
Not to mention how powerful her two bloodline limits make her, just her brain alone is enough to crush all the mentally ill Mist Ninjas.
Revolt?
I think it's a rebellion!
It's really the Mist Ninja 'tradition'.
Tang Ping looked at Mangetsu Kizuna's face full of sharp teeth with a strange look.
After traveling for such a long time and collecting so many documents and knowledge, he has learned a lot about the grudges in the ninja world.
The second Mizukage of the Mist Ninja is Hozuki Gengetsu of the Hozuki clan.
After he and the Second Tsuchikage died together, the Third Mizukage came to power through rebellion, so the Hozuki clan was extremely dissatisfied with this, but the other party promised that the four Mizukage would be from the Hozuki clan, which temporarily appeased them.
Now that Karutagi Yagura has snatched the position of the Fourth Mizukage, how can this not make the Hozumi clan, who have long regarded this position as their own, dissatisfied?
It would be fine if it were really fair competition.
But he had no martial ethics at all. After the Third Hokage was assassinated, he took advantage of the fact that the Kizuki clan was on the front line to forcibly take power. By the time the Kizuki clan returned to the village, the other side had already become the Fourth Hokage.
Therefore, one can imagine the resentment in the hearts of the Gui Lantern clan.
Of course, there is also the reason that after the other party came to power, not only did he not win over this ninja, but he also targeted him everywhere.
What a bully.
The Kizuki clan is a clan of the Zhenghuang Banner... the second generation Mizukage.
You bullied us right after you came to power. We dare not think about what you will do in the future. Why don't we take you down while you are in power? Do you have to wait until you are killed in the future?
Only at this time did Tang Ping understand the cause and process of the incident.
But he still didn't understand.
Why did you ask me to save the Gui Deng clan?
Shouldn't the Hozuki clan who launched the rebellion be confident of success? If they have to save someone, they should save the Fourth Mizukage.
"Kouju Yagura is a truly powerful man. We, the Kizuna clan, are definitely no match for him. In addition, there are two large clans, Kaguya and Mizunotsuki, standing on his side. This resistance will definitely not succeed. So I hope you can save the rest of the clan members if something unexpected happens!"
Man Yue Hozuki whispered the truth.
He had said this to his tribesmen, but no one listened.
Everyone felt that with the strength of their Kibutsuki clan, it would be extremely easy to overthrow a small Fourth Mizukage.
As for Kaguya and Mizunotsuki joining forces, they could not be their match.
Inflated and arrogant!
This is the current situation of the Ghost Lantern Clan.
"In other words, this is your personal request, not the request of the Ghost Lantern Clan?"
Tang Ping suddenly realized.
No wonder, he was asking why only Gui Deng Man Yue, a member of the Gui Deng tribe, came, instead of the higher-ups of the Gui Deng tribe.
Although the other party is a new generation genius and young clan leader of the Kizuna clan, he does not have much say in the clan, and his strength at this stage is only that of a top ninja.
Please note that there are quite a few teenagers at the Kage level and Six Paths level in anime.
But in the real ninja world, being able to become a special jonin before the age of 20 is actually considered a genius.
It is impossible for a special jonin to convince other clan members.
If Hozuki Kizuki is now a Kage-level warrior, then he will have enough say in the clan.
But if that were the case, he wouldn't have come to Tang Ping for help.
"Why should I take action?"
Tang Ping asked leisurely.
Yes!
Why should he take action? Once he takes action, not only will there be no benefit, but he will also offend the Hidden Mist Village. It is totally not worth the loss. He must be crazy to agree to it.
As for the other party using the threat of a deal.
Not to mention whether he can make the decision, even if he can, the castle tower can change its partner.
The goods of the Fire Nation are hard currency. As long as they can be transported to the Water Nation, there will be no worries about not having partners willing to take over.
"How about...if I say I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you, Your Excellency?"
Mangetsu Kizuki had already thought about it before coming and directly proposed the conditions for exchange.
"not enough!"
Tang Ping shook his head.
No matter how famous or how much potential the other person has, he is not indispensable to oneself. It is not worth it to go against the Mist Village, one of the five major ninja villages, just for that one person.
"As long as you can rescue my people, they will all join the castle tower. Even if you don't need to help in the end, I will still join."
Man Yue Kizuna put forward the real conditions.
It would be best if the plan succeeds, and the Kizuna clan ascends to the throne of Mizukage. Then this agreement will be treated as if it never happened, and they will just have to sell themselves.
But if the plan fails, there is a fallback.
It's not that he was worrying too much, but there were too many cases of ninja clans being destroyed in the Hidden Mist Village, so he had to be on guard.
However, this plan doesn't seem like something that he, who has a dull mind, could come up with, right?
Dohei's gaze turned to Mei Terumi who was standing there prettily.
It would be strange if the other party didn’t help with the planning.
What is puzzling is why the other party would do this.
This is almost a betrayal of the Hidden Mist Village.
After all, according to the general thinking of the ninja world, they would rather slaughter the entire Kizuna clan than see them leave or even join other ninja villages.
Just like Uchiha!
The Konoha high-level officials would rather watch the other party be exterminated than leave Konoha, let alone join other ninja villages.
The reason why the Nagashino lineage was able to leave was not only because of special reasons, but also because the castle tower was also considered a Konoha force. If it were a force from other ninja villages, do you think they would agree?
"why?"
Tang Ping asked directly.
With his current status, there is really no need for him to play dumb. If he has any questions, he can just ask directly.
"You are you, and Konoha is Konoha, isn't it?"
Mei Terumi replied slyly.
Yes, she had already seen through Tang Ping's rebellious nature.
No, because Tang Ping never concealed it.
Then getting the Kizuna clan to join him is completely different from joining Konoha.
“Isn’t it just that?”
Tang Ping always felt that something was wrong. He just felt that he was a rebellious person and it was impossible for him to make such a big bet.
"River Country!"
Mei Terumi naturally understood that it was impossible to convince Dou Ping with just one sentence, so she revealed her true colors.
Yes, she already knew the situation in the River Kingdom.
Of course she would investigate the partners.
A survey.
Then the River Kingdom will naturally come into view.
Although the place is nominally owned by the United Fruit Chamber of Commerce, the relationship between this chamber of commerce and Tang Ping is no secret.
The leader of Konoha's Southwestern Ninja Army has created such a huge force in other countries. It is no longer a question of whether he is rebellious or not, but a sign of his sheer ambition.
Therefore, it is not impossible that if the Kizuki clan were to join Dohei, they might be able to deal a blow to Konoha in the future.
Wonderful!
In this way, the Kizuna clan found a way out and created trouble for Konoha.
Win-win!
Won Ma.
By doing this, Mei Terumi is not betraying the Hidden Mist Village, but is considering future strategies.
"Are you sure you can make the decision for those tribesmen?"
After Dohei learned the reason why Mei Terumi did this, he began to ask Mangetsu Hozuki.
His question is very realistic.
You are just a genius and a junior clan leader in the clan. You don't have much say, so how can you be qualified to make decisions for those clan members?
However, what he said also meant something.
I'm moved.
