Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

This exceptionally powerful Raikage doesn't seem to have any intention of converting his chakra into spiritual power. At least until a powerful figure with spiritual power appears in the village, he will maintain his current state without any change.

Ye was not surprised by this idea.

This wasn't because she was worried that the transformation of spiritual power would cause any problems for herself, but rather because she was worried about whether she could maintain such sharpness and strength after converting chakra into spiritual power, and whether she could continue to protect the village.

After asking all the questions he wanted to know, the Fourth Raikage looked at Yoru, who was explaining things meticulously and tirelessly, and then at Samui, who was listening attentively, taking notes, and practicing, but still had many questions. He frowned deeply.

"No need to rush. The spiritual energy is vast; you can comprehend it carefully."

Ye Yuwen was gentle and not in a hurry at all. Samui was calm, knowledgeable, and an absolute learner.

For those who are eager to learn and have a strong desire to learn, Ye naturally has enough patience.

"Lord Mizukage, why don't you take Samui as your disciple?" the Raikage suddenly said.

"What?" Ye was somewhat taken aback.

“I know this request is somewhat abrupt, even impolite, but Samui is the calmest and most knowledgeable among the younger generation of Kumogakure. Only she can perfectly understand your spiritual power and help Kumogakure complete the transformation from chakra to spiritual power.”

“I understand that as the Mizukage you have no obligation to do this, but as the Raikage, I need to consider the entire Hidden Cloud Village!”

The Fourth Raikage stared intently and seriously at Minazuki Yoru, even bowing his head in admiration.

"Please, Mizukage!"

Chapter 243 Taking the Initiative to Attack the Akatsuki!

Mizuki Yoru fell silent in response to Benzi Rai's words.

The other party's direct statement made it clear that they wanted to give this girl to him.

But can I accept it myself?

Mei Terumi was packing her luggage outside. If she saw that she had gone out for a short while, and that Mizuki Yoru had brought back such a fair-skinned, beautiful, and extremely wicked 'female disciple,' she would probably be the one to cut off the kidneys of the guest tonight.

However, it wouldn't be good to refuse outright, since what Benzi Rai said wasn't wrong; everything he pursued was simply so that Kumogakure could better control spiritual energy.

Samina's calm and thoughtful nature is truly unique among the group of physically strong but intellectually simple-minded athletes in Kumogakure. With her as the instructor of spiritual power in the night, it can indeed greatly help Kumogakure improve their use of spiritual power.

"To so blatantly beg for power from me, the leader of another village, for the sake of your own village..." Mizuki Yoru looked at the Fourth Raikage with great interest: "What makes you think I would give you this power? Or does this power contain my methods? Aren't you pushing the entire Hidden Cloud Village into a fire pit, Fourth Raikage?"

"..."

The fourth generation of Ai fell silent.

Indeed, he is the Kage of Kumogakure, while Mizuki Yoru is the Kage of Kirigakure. Although there has been no major conflict between the two in history, a conflict did break out in Konoha not long ago.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Both sides are rulers of their respective villages, and given the competition for their interests, Mizuki Yoru has no obligation, let alone any reason, to help Kumogakure.

However, the Fourth Raikage made this request, and even believed in his heart that Mizuki Yoru would agree!

Perhaps it was because Mizuki Yoru was willing to use his chakra to convert into spiritual power during the initial struggle, rather than directly killing them in Konoha.

It's also possible that Minazuki Yoru already possessed the power to sweep across the entire ninja world, but instead of launching an invasion, he slowly developed the economy, promoted the development of industry and commerce throughout the ninja world, and even passed on the power he possessed to others without reservation.

Courage and magnanimity.

He saw immeasurable magnanimity and courage in Minazuki Yoru, which is probably why he said those words!

"I understand."

Sensing the Fourth Raikage's expression, Yoru sighed softly, "You are an excellent Kage, A. Kumogakure is indeed fortunate to have a Kage like you."

“I can accept some of your proposals. I can help and guide Samui in the teaching of spiritual power, but as for becoming a disciple, let’s forget about it.”

Ye feigned a troubled expression: "You should understand that disciples are like children. Having one is already quite troublesome. If there's another one, it might even affect our normal lives."

"This..." Fourth A glanced at Samui, who was pursing her red lips, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, I was too rash, but since you are willing to give me some pointers, it is already an honor for Kumogakure and Samui!"

"Thank you, Lord Mizukage!" Samui quickly bowed and paid his respects to the deep night.

"No need for formalities. I have always treated those who thirst for knowledge and yearn for progress with the same respect."

Samui and Shidai Rai stared blankly at Minazuki Yoru, completely bewildered as to why Minazuki Yoru would display such an expression.

camouflage?

If you're already invincible, why would you need such a disguise?

nature?

Impossible. He devoured souls on the battlefield, slaughtered countless Konoha ninjas during the Third Shinobi World War, and upon returning to the village, he decisively seized power and overthrew the Third Mizukage. How could this be the true nature of Mizuki Yoru?

"Why?" The Fourth Raikage was clearly not the kind of person who could keep his thoughts to himself, like Hiruzen Sarutobi or Onoki. "Mizukage, why are you doing this? What benefit do you get from it?"

"Benefits?" Ye Yi was taken aback, then smiled faintly, "Don't you find it wonderful to see the people in the ninja world gradually transforming from doubt, confusion, and weakness?"

"Of course, such words are too saintly. I, Mizuki Yoru, am not truly the kind of selfless saint who dares to be the first in the world. If I had to find a reason..."

"Perhaps he wants this ninja world to keep up with my pace."

Let the world... keep up with my pace...

The fourth generation Ai stared blankly at Minazuki Yoru, all the doubts in his heart vanishing at that moment.

This is the true form of Minazuki Yoru that he envisioned in his heart!

"I understand."

The Fourth Raikage stood up, bowed deeply to Minazuki Yoru, and said, "Please be sure to attend the Kage Meeting tomorrow."

"Ah, don't worry."

Ye smiled and nodded.

The Fourth Raikage glanced at Samui.

Samui, who was sitting cross-legged, quickly got up, but the Fourth Raikage turned around and left, leaving Samui somewhat at a loss.

But the hesitation lasted only a fraction of a second before Samui bowed deeply to the night: "Please, Mizukage-sama, do as you please..."

"Night, has the Fourth Raikage left? I saw a girl with him, what's going on..." Mei Terumi's voice came from afar, but stopped abruptly when she reached the door.

A pair of beautiful eyes kept glancing at the night and bowing. Although she was young, Samui's fair skin and immense evil were comparable to her own. Mei Terumi's eyebrows furrowed and her eyes revealed a dangerous look.

"The Fourth Mizukage."

"Could you tell me what exactly is going on?"

The gentle question made Ye's scalp tingle. Looking at Samui in front of him, Ye could only let out a soft sigh.

"I'll leave the journey to Cloud Village to you for a while, Samui. But you should go and rest now."

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Samui bowed respectfully again, then rose meticulously, nodded gently to Terumi Mei, and walked out the door.

Mei Terumi responded gently, and after Samui's figure disappeared from sight, Mei Terumi closed the door behind her, her expression becoming even gentler.

"As expected of the Fourth Mizukage, the strongest ninja in the world. I just went to settle my luggage, and he brought me back such a beautiful young lady."

"...You're absolutely unbeatable."

……

Due to the danger posed by the Akatsuki organization, the Shadow Conference was convened extremely quickly, and the conference proceeded as scheduled the day after the representatives of each village had been settled.

The meeting venue was quite grand, unlike the Land of Iron where there was only a round table. The Fourth Raikage specially chose a magnificent and huge venue to demonstrate the profound foundation of Kumogakure and the importance he attached to this Kage Conference.

There were no barriers or secrets on either side of the center of the venue; it was completely open. In fact, besides the huge round table in the center, there were several rows of seats around it, as if allowing observers to listen in, without any concern about the contents of the meeting being leaked.

That makes sense. This Shadow Conference was less of a secret meeting of the highest leaders of the five great nations and more of a pre-war declaration against the Akatsuki. To open the conference in this manner was a demonstration of absolute confidence in their own forces and a determination to declare war on the Akatsuki!

"Although the Tsuchikage is not here, the Fourth Mizukage, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Fifth Hokage are all present. So let's begin this Kage meeting!"

Tu Tai stood in the chairing position, looking at the four figures sitting around the table.

The Fourth Raikage, A, with his muscular physique and a solemn and serious expression; the Fifth Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha, wearing the Hokage's robes and with his hands crossed in front of him; and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, whose gaze was primarily fixed on Mizuki Yoru while secretly observing the Raikage and Hokage.

And the young man with a gentle smile and a calm expression, leaning lightly against the chair, is also the absolute core of this meeting, the strongest ninja in the world, the Fourth Mizukage, Mizuki Yoru!

"The Akatsuki's ambitions are immeasurable. As a mercenary organization, they have been constantly recruiting rogue ninjas and have even controlled the Third Mizukage and the Fourth Kazekage. Now they are even targeting the Tailed Beasts!"

The Fourth Raikage didn't waste any time. After Tututai finished his opening remarks, he went straight to the point: "We must stop the Akatsuki's conspiracy and destroy this evil organization!"

Rasa's expression darkened slightly when his name was called. It was extremely humiliating for a Kage to be controlled by someone else, let alone for the Fourth Raikage to bring it up in public.

However, Rasa didn't dwell on these minor points. Instead, he nodded and echoed the Raikage's words: "The threat posed by Akatsuki cannot be ignored, and their ambitions must be curbed!"

“Since their target is the Tailed Beast, let’s first determine the location of the Tailed Beast and their core base.” Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice, “The One-Tail should be inside you, Kazekage.”

"Yes, while I was under their control, they implanted a one-tailed beast into my body."

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, crossed his fingers and said with a heavy expression, "If it weren't for the Mizukage, not only would Sunagakure and I have suffered annihilation, but Shukaku would likely have also fallen into the hands of Akatsuki. Here, Sunagakure and I would like to thank the Mizukage once again!"

"It's my duty, Lord Kazekage. There's no need for such formalities." Night smiled and waved his hand. "The Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are still under my control, so you don't need to worry about them too much."

"The Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails are inside Yugito and Killer Bee." The Fourth Raikage looked at Fugaku Uchiha: "Adding the Nine-Tails of Konoha, that means that the Tailed Beasts currently scattered outside and possibly already in the hands of the Akatsuki are the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, and the Seven-Tails."

"Indeed, information about the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails disappeared from the ninja world after the Third Shinobi World War."

"There's been no sound at all. Could it be that the Akatsuki has already gotten their hands on it?"

"The resurrection location of the Tailed Beasts is completely random, and they may have already been captured by the Akatsuki!"

"Damn..."

Seeing the several Kage discussing and constantly escalating the threat posed by the Akatsuki, Yoru remained silent.

The four-tailed, five-tailed, and seven-tailed beasts, like the three-tailed and six-tailed beasts, had long been marked with special symbols by Night.

That mark doesn't disappear after death; rather, it's like a brand, deeply engraved in their very essence.

Whenever they resurrect and coalesce, these markers will re-inform Mizuki Yoru of their coordinates. Therefore, the reason why these tailed beasts have been missing for the past few years is that they were not actually obtained by the Akatsuki organization, but were instead taken down by Yoru.

Hmm, a single resurrection grants 500,000 points, and five tailed beasts in one go yield 2.5 million. Isn't this pure gold rush for easy money?

Anyway, Ye had a blast racking up points; his Hogyoku and Yhwach's power were greatly aided by those tailed beasts!

"We must prepare for the worst. If the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails have already fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki, then our remaining Tailed Beasts will inevitably be targeted by the Akatsuki as well!"

Fugaku Uchiha said with a solemn expression, "Moreover, the other party also possesses the Rinnegan, as well as the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, which are space-time ninjutsu. If they attack us, any of our families, except for the Mizukage, will be in great trouble."

"Although such words might seem like they boost the morale of others while diminishing our own, Sunagakure truly has no power to resist the Akatsuki's strength," Rasa sighed.

The Fourth Raikage punched the air in front of him and growled, "Isn't this precisely why we've gathered here!"

"The reason we've gathered here is to stop the evil Akatsuki organization, to nip their ambitions and evil plots in the bud before they can fully unfold!"

"In my opinion, we should take the initiative and wipe out the Akatsuki organization!"

“But the opponent possesses space-time ninjutsu. If they want to hide, we might not be able to explore them easily,” Fugaku Uchiha said solemnly. He was particularly impressed by Obito Uchiha’s Kamui.

“That’s right, and their illusions are extremely powerful; even I am powerless to resist them.” Luo Sha said in a low voice, “If they control a force and are hiding within it, we will have nowhere to find them.”

“I agree with the Raikage’s plan, but the Akatsuki’s methods are unpredictable. Finding their location in the ninja world is like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

"Actually, I do have some information about the Akatsuki organization."

The abrupt words drew everyone's attention, and the three shadows' gazes all fell on Ye.

"It was an unexpected result of the battle in Sunagakure. We were fighting fiercely in Sunagakure, and other members of Akatsuki even tried to infiltrate Kirigakure." Night explained without batting an eye, "Fortunately, Kirigakure was well-defended and successfully repelled Akatsuki. Although we paid some price, we also achieved some results, and this intelligence is one of them."

"According to the intelligence I've received, Akatsuki's largest core base... is located in the Land of Rain!"

"The Land of Rain?"

"Hanzo's territory?"

"How could this be? How could Hanzo allow such a force to appear on his territory?!"

Chapter 244 This country will not weep forever!

"The Land of Rain?"

This peculiar country caused everyone present to frown, as if they were thinking of a certain special individual. Rasa looked at Minazuki Yoru and slowly said, "Lord Mizukage, are you sure that the Akatsuki's base is in the Land of Rain? You should know what kind of country it is, and what kind of person its ruler is."

Everyone present, except for Mizuki Yoru, who was the youngest, had participated in the massive Second Shinobi World War. They all understood what kind of person he was, who single-handedly fought against three great nations and even drove a small country to independence, earning it the title of the Sixth Great Nation and being hailed as a demigod.

That guy was willing to fight against Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure one after another for the sake of Amegakure's future; he was an absolute local tyrant.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?
