"Kain-san, I have already disclosed the suggestion you made last time to some friends, but most people think it is unrealistic. It is difficult for the Third Mizukage to take the initiative to start a war against other ninja villages."

Terumi Shin quietly came to meet Kain again. Last time, he felt that Kain's suggestion was very good, but considering the Third Mizukage, it seemed difficult to implement.

How could he give up his current situation and choose to start a war against other ninja villages when he was already implementing the Blood Mist policy, targeting the bloodline clans, and gathering power?

Kain smiled, took out the map he had prepared in advance, and said to Shin: "This is easy. If someone entrusts you with a task with a high reward, will you still accept it?"

Terumi Shin replied without thinking: "Naturally, I would accept it. After all, mission requests are the basis for the survival of a ninja village. Even Mizukage would not dare refuse to accept missions from others, unless the client conceals information."

Kain continued: "I will send someone to Kirigakure with an assignment. The task is to destroy the fleet and docks here in the Kingdom of Lightning. With the strength of Mist Shinobi, it should be easy to do."

Terumi Shin nodded and agreed. There should be no ninja village daring to fight Mist Shinobi at sea. If that were to happen, the leader of the opposing side must be a fool.

Once Mist Shinobi ninjas reached the sea, they could join forces and use Water Style jutsu to create a tsunami more than ten meters high, easily destroying a fleet and a dock.

'But why this fleet? Is there something special about them?'

"Kain-san, this fleet and dock…"

"The private property of the finance minister's family in the Land of Lightning. The family's dominance is on par with that of Cloud Shinobi Village. Not long ago, they tried to seize the shipping route near the Land of Tea and sank one of my ships."

"Kirigakure's ability to destroy their family will definitely make the guy from the Land of Lightning very distressed, and he will surely order Cloud Shinobi Village to retaliate. No, even if the Minister of Finance does not order it, Raikage's domineering nature will force Mist Shinobi to make amends to them."

After hearing this, Terumi Shin said angrily, "These guys are really shameless."

Thinking of Cloud Shinobi Village's consistent style, Terumi Shin found it very reasonable.

Cloud Shinobi Village's dominance is well known in the ninja world; if they want secret techniques, they take them; if they lack resources, they seize them.

Sometimes, Raikage leads the team and has taken the bandit approach to its extreme.

It might be because the ethos in that place is very uniform, with everyone being part of the martial arts faction. It is said that the Second Raikage was a bit dovish, but in the end, he was killed by the Gold and Silver Brothers, who were from the martial arts faction.

There is only Cloud Shinobi Village in the ninja world that dares to openly suck the blood of small countries. The other ninja villages use alliances to cover up their actions, while Cloud Shinobi Village is difficult to compete with.

"If there are no problems, someone will go to the Ninja Village to issue a commission soon. As for the next steps, Shin, you should know how to handle it."

After hearing this, Terumi Shin immediately agreed: "Of course, I understand. This is one of the few opportunities for our Bloodline Successor Clan, and I would like to thank Kain-san for your help."

"It's nothing. This matter is also beneficial to me, at least there will be one less opponent in the future."

Kain then shook his head and spoke to Shin: "However, the chances of your bloodline clans taking power are still very slim, unless the Third Mizukage makes a mistake, and then a new Mizukage is elected. If the struggle becomes too fierce and eventually leads to failure, Shin, I will always welcome you."

This was a hint. Kain believed that the chances for the Bloodline Successor clans to win were low, unless the Kaguya clan took the lead and used the Third Mizukage's lack of full control over the village to stage a coup. 

There was still a chance, but it would be difficult.

It is now the 42nd year of Konoha, and local frictions in the ninja world are already happening. This time, Kirigakure's attack on the property of the finance minister of the Land of Lightning would directly accelerate the war.

After sending Shin away, Kain thought about the plan a little more. 

Once the war broke out, he would earn resources step by step. He would sell medicines and medical supplies, gather the population to form a guard, and build up the Land of Tea and the southern peninsula of the Land of Fire by establishing industries and military factories. 

Eventually, the ninja world would become his backyard.

There would be many obstacles: the daimyo of the five major countries, the ninja villages, Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, and the future Ōtsutsuki. Almost everyone would be on the opposite side. 

However, there were also some potential allies: Konoha Village with the Fourth Hokage and Orochimaru. As long as Kain didn't harm the village and provided Orochimaru with knowledge from another world, there was no reason they couldn't cooperate.

Mist Shinobi's fleeing bloodline ninjas, the barren Sand Shinobi, and others could also be potential allies.

With that in mind, Kain realized that the plan to make the ninja world his backyard wasn't impossible, but it would take at least twenty years.

It only takes 20 years to become the master of a planet, and this planet was still in a feudal state with extraordinary power. If he could fully control it, it would be a great asset to Kain. But the challenge would be significant.
