Chapter 243 - Chaoter 243 (1/2)
Kirigakure.
In the conference room on the third floor of the Mizukage Building.
Yeruashi was sitting at one end of a large oval table, holding a pen and writing something down on a piece of paper.
At the other end of the table sat Elder Kirigakure, with a large number of Shinobi standing behind him, and an Elite Jounin sitting next to him, including Mei.
”...read this.»
After making a few more notes, Yeruashi unhurriedly put down his pen and handed over a piece of paper.
After a while, Elder Kirigakure looked at Yeruashi intently, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, ” Aren't your demands too excessive, Fifth Hokage? You understand that our village suffered huge losses during the war.»
Yeruashi leaned his elbows on the table, laced his fingers together, and said indifferently: ”You started this war yourself. When entering a war, you must be prepared to pay the appropriate price.»
Yeruashi's voice wasn't harsh or heavy.
On the contrary, he seemed extremely calm.
But these words put a lot of pressure on the Shinobi Kiri present in the conference room, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and their hearts were very tense.
”Accept it.»
Mei stood up and looked at Elder Kirigakure: ”Right now, we don't have the option to choose, you can only give him what he wants.»
The elder fell into a reverie.
Mei looked at Yeruashi, a strange light flashed in her eyes, she put her hands on the table and said calmly: ”Bring the Mist Swords Summoning scroll.»
The Shinobi Kiri looked at each other and then looked at the elder, all of them hesitant and hesitant.
”Do it.»
Elder Kiri took a deep breath and finally gave up.
Although he had completely different thoughts in his mind, as an elder of Kirigakure, he couldn't make such a decision for the entire village.
The Great Village, which has been diligently maintained by several generations of Mizukage since the end of the Warring States Era, cannot be destroyed because of his decision.
After a while.
Shinobi Kiri entered the conference room with a large scroll.
This scroll contains summoning techniques that can be used to summon each of the seven swords of the mist, as well as the swords can be stored in it in a sealed form.
Yeruashi took it and immediately began to study the scroll, confirming that there were no problems, he nodded and stood up from the table with the scroll.
”And so...»
”This is the end of the war.»
Yeruashi's gaze swept across the conference room and lingered on Mei: ”You're good, I'll expect you to become the Fifth Mizukage.»
Phew!
Yeruashi's figure instantly disappeared without a trace.
Mei calmly looked at the place where Yeruashi had just disappeared, but inwardly she was very excited by these words and couldn't help but think that since he had just given a 'good' grade, then what was the previous grade?
”Elder?»
Mei f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y suppressed her emotions and looked at Elder Kirigakure seriously.
The elder got up from the table and said as he left the conference room on crutches, ” Your assessment of the situation and your choice were absolutely correct, it's just that an old man like me wasn't ready to accept it...»
”Who can put up with that, Elder?»
Mae sighed heavily.
