"And the two from Hidden Mist Village."
"These Kage seem very envious of Konoha's current situation; they didn't resist my proposal much. If I hadn't clearly seen their reactions with the Rinnegan, I would have truly thought they were acting to deceive me."
Uchiha Tamahiko placed the six Tailed Beasts he had collected in front of him using ROOM.
These six Tailed Beasts all started chattering among themselves. Looking at Uchiha Tamahiko's Rinnegan, they knew the situation was similar to what happened in Konoha years ago: they had been captured. However, they didn't understand their current state, nor why they had left their Jinchuriki's bodies.
At the same time, he visited three of the Five Great Villages and found that their Kage were not resistant to Uchiha Tamahiko's plan.
After all, they were currently constrained by the Daimyo, but if the Ninja World reformed into an alliance, their power would not be diminished. Also, not everyone liked war.
The purpose of war, besides hatred, was more about profit. With enough profit, these people could lay down their weapons. If they could earn the same amount of money without fighting, why risk their lives?
However, Uchiha Tamahiko's side was only providing a plan; its success wasn't important. Strength was the most crucial thing.
After resting for a night, Uchiha Tamahiko set off again, heading directly to the Land of Water. He first found the rogue Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, and directly extracted his Tailed Beast, taking it away without needing to explain.
Even if a Jinchuriki suddenly died, Uchiha Tamahiko could completely suppress the dissipating Tailed Beast with his Rinnegan and absorb it into his body, preventing the Tailed Beast from disappearing and being reborn.
"Fourth Mizukage Yagura should be awake by now, so why is it still such a murderous atmosphere?"
Uchiha Tamahiko was somewhat puzzled by the murderous Hidden Mist Village. He directly used a Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, stirring up a strong wind to directly disperse the mist in Hidden Mist Village.
However, this movement immediately caused a commotion throughout Hidden Mist Village. Large numbers of Ninja rushed out to find the enemy, but Uchiha Tamahiko used genjutsu to make everyone ignore his presence.
He found several high-ranking Hidden Mist Village members and directly controlled them with his Rinnegan to read their memories, locating Yagura, who was imprisoned.
After Obito lost his eyes, Yagura awoke. He relinquished the Mizukage position and willingly allowed himself to be imprisoned; he had almost gone mad at the time.
For Yagura, who was covered in seals, Uchiha Tamahiko's Ope-Ope no Mi ability directly passed through the seals, extracting the Three-Tails. Yagura didn't even notice anything amiss.
"The last one is in hand."
Uchiha Tamahiko put away the cube containing the Two-Tails, preparing to leave.
Hidden Mist Village was still in chaos, with an internal power struggle ongoing. No leader had been chosen yet, making it the only one of the Five Great Villages that Uchiha Tamahiko hadn't warned.
"Scorch Release: Scorching Stream Skill!"
Suddenly, a scorching, corrosive solution attacked Uchiha Tamahiko from behind.
The dark red Susanoo skeleton emerged, directly blocking the acid, but parts of the Susanoo skeleton were also melted by the solution.
Seeing this, Mei Terumī was startled and quickly formed hand signs, preparing to use Boil Release to obstruct the opponent's vision and restrict his movement.
But before she could release the Ninjutsu, she felt her body become unable to move.
"You are not yet the Fifth Mizukage of Hidden Mist Village, are you?"
Uchiha Tamahiko slowly walked up to Mei Terumī and asked. After speaking, he immediately read her memories, not wasting any time.
After confirming that Mei Terumī was not yet the Mizukage but a strong candidate for the position, he directly used his Sharingan to transmit a genjutsu PPT, informing her of Konoha's plans.
"Has Konoha reached such a level already?!"
After Mei Terumī finished watching the genjutsu, Uchiha Tamahiko released his suppression of her. Her first words were this.
"My body has recovered!"
After speaking, Mei Terumī realized she had regained control of her body.
Then, with fear in her eyes, she looked at Uchiha Tamahiko, but there was more anger. She recognized those blood-red eyes.
"The Uchiha controlled the Fourth Mizukage and caused so much destruction to Hidden Mist Village. It's impossible for our Hidden Mist Village to cooperate with the Uchiha!"
Mei Terumī said, clenching her fists.
Although afraid, she didn't want to compromise. Hidden Mist Village currently had almost no understanding of the outside world. Although Yagura had given up the Mizukage position, years of habit had accustomed Hidden Mist Village to speaking with weapons.
"Your village's infighting has been going on for a long time. Even without my clansmen's control, Hidden Mist Village's outcome wouldn't be much different; it would just be a matter of how many people died."
"The title of 'Bloody Mist Village' has existed for a long time, hasn't it? Back then, when elites were selected, dozens of people would die or be injured in a single Genin battle, wouldn't they?"
Uchiha Tamahiko said.
Zabuza and Kakashi were the same age; when Zabuza was a Genin, Hidden Mist Village was already like that. Obito merely intensified this phenomenon and specifically targeted Bloodline Limit families.
A single Mangekyo couldn't truly control Hidden Mist Village. Obito merely exploited the desires within those people's hearts.
"But what about the people who died over the years because of the Uchiha? Who should be held accountable for that?!"
Mei Terumī asked defiantly.
"War only leads to endless deaths. The plan I've given can avoid the vast majority of wars."
"I'm telling you this now to prevent more deaths in Hidden Mist Village later. And this is just a notification, not a negotiation. If you don't agree, we'll just replace you with someone compliant. Kill those who refuse, just like your Hidden Mist Village did before."
Uchiha Tamahiko wouldn't show mercy just because Mei Terumī was a beauty.
He unceremoniously released his killing intent, threatening and warning her. Everyone had dirty hands; it was no time for the pot to call the kettle black.
During the last great war, Hidden Mist Village's sneak attack on Konoha was the most disgusting. He had also participated in that battle. Uchiha Madara only arranged for personnel to attack Rin; the other attackers on Konoha were all arranged by Hidden Mist Village itself.
Feeling the killing intent from Uchiha Tamahiko, Mei Terumī's face instantly turned pale, and she couldn't even speak: "You—"
"I'll be training nearby for a while. If you've thought it through, tear this scroll to notify me. I will help you become Mizukage and control Hidden Mist Village, transforming it into the way you like."
"If you still think that continuing to be a Ninja, serving as a dog for those Daimyo and nobles, and living a life of constant fighting is more suitable for Hidden Mist Village, then keep striving. Become the Hokage yourself to do this, and let Hidden Mist Village lose more lives."
Uchiha Tamahiko said finally.
He then took out a scroll and threw it at Mei Terumī's feet. After speaking, he walked past her and headed out of the prison.
Mei Terumī watched Uchiha Tamahiko's back. In the end, she controlled herself and didn't attempt a sneak attack. She felt no chance of victory; the pressure this man exerted on her was too immense.
She looked down at the green-skinned, black-edged scroll, her face filled with hesitation.
