Genji was furious.
Because the Mizukage's plan was far too insane.
Seal the Three-Tails into a Konoha's Ninja, control them with a cursed seal, send them into Konoha Village to release the Tailed Beast, and utterly destroy Konoha!!!
This plan was practically self-destruction!
Regardless of success or failure, Kirigakure would lose the combat power of one Jinchuriki. If they succeeded, it would completely enrage Konoha.
By then,
A Konoha whose base had been blown up would definitely retaliate with everything they had. They might even abandon their wars with Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure to focus all their fury on Kirigakure!!!
The Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo, the Sannin, Namikaze Minato, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, the Uchiha Clan...
If those top-tier combat powers focused entirely on Kirigakure, they might very well physically erase the entire Village of the Bloody Mist from existence!!!
Moreover,
It ran completely counter to Kirigakure's original strategic plan of fishing in troubled waters.
This insane plan was equivalent to pushing Kirigakure, who had joined the war later intending to be the oriole catching the cicada, right to the forefront of the conflict, forcing them to face Konoha's wrath alone!
Genji, holding a high position, naturally knew that Kirigakure's combat strength was absolutely incapable of confronting Konoha single-handedly!
This plan was simply hurting the enemy by eight thousand while destroying oneself by ten thousand!!!
"Cost?"
Unexpectedly, the Third Mizukage sneered, "War always demands a price. I believe the village's Ninjas are already prepared to fight Konoha to the death."
"You say fight to the death?"
Genji slammed his cane hard on the floor, roaring angrily, "Then are you prepared to fight Konoha's Kage-level Ninjas?"
"Once the plan succeeds, Konoha is bound to retaliate with full force. By then, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, the Yellow Flash, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki..."
"When these people turn their guns and start their frenzied retaliation against Kirigakure, what will the village use to resist them!??"
Genji's angry voice echoed through the room.
The gap between Kirigakure and Konoha wasn't very large at the Jonin-level, but at the Kage-level, there was a clear disparity.
The Third Mizukage was noticeably weaker than the Third Hokage. Fuguki and Yagura were a whole tier below the Sannin and the Yellow Flash.
The only advantage Kirigakure had was controlling two Tailed Beasts, having more Jinchuriki than Konoha!
But...
Now the Mizukage actually wants to sacrifice the Three-Tails!??
This would only worsen Kirigakure's already insufficient Kage-level combat power!
"Resist?"
The Third Mizukage slowly turned around, speaking coldly and confidently, "I alone am enough. If Konoha's Kage-level Ninjas truly dare to invade the village, I will suppress them all by myself!"
'Madness!'
'Sheer madness!'
'You want to fight one against seven!??'
'Do you really think you're some Uchiha madman!!!'
Genji was going crazy.
'This man was simply unreasonable!!!'
"Mizukage, you will regret this!!!"
Genji rebuked him loudly.
"Genji, I am the Mizukage!"
The Third Mizukage finally slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at Genji, who seemed on the verge of a stroke from anger, and then indifferently closed them again.
As if,
He didn't consider the old man before him worthy of his attention.
"You..."
"Arrogant!!!"
Before he could finish, Genji stormed out in a rage, slamming the door shut, ignoring the terrified expressions of the guard ninjas at the door.
After Genji left, the office returned to silence.
"Genji is ultimately too old!"
The Third Mizukage's face was cold, "The times have changed. Kirigakure's renewal requires fresh blood tempered by the crucible of desperate battle, just like..."
As he spoke,
The Third Mizukage's cold face suddenly showed a trace of interest. He turned, his gaze falling on a personnel file on the desk.
"Yuki Sora, Ice Release, killed an Eight Gates User, severely wounded the Sannin, Jiraiya... Such unbelievable achievements, yet only an Anbu Captain..."
"This…!"
"Could it be that Kirigakure's fortune is finally arriving?"
The usually ruthless Third Mizukage had an inexplicable hint of approval in his grim eyes.
After the guards outside the door dispersed, the Third Mizukage's originally impassive expression suddenly became rigid.
He stood by the window, his gaze hollow and numb, watching the furious Genji gradually disappear from view.
"Heh..."
"Kirigakure rat, if you keep chirping, I'll just kill you."
"And this Yuki Sora, an Anbu Captain, is it?"
"However..."
"A rodent incapable of killing the grand-student of Tobirama doesn't seem like a Ninja worthy of attention."
"Kage-level?"
"Ice Release?"
"Heh..."
"Mere grains of sand, not half of Hashirama."
"Such a rodent is only fit to be a stepping stone for Obito."
