Mizukage

"Too much nonsense!"

Boom!

Genji's words were cut off midway, his eyes reflecting pure terror. Under Luo Lei's unyielding gaze, a laser beam pierced his skull, melting it instantly.

"No way! This can't be happening!"

"Why...? I spoke with the utmost respect..."

"I have no objection to Mei being the Fourth Mizukage, but why kill me like this, without mercy?!"

"If he let me live, I could help Mei stabilize Kirigakure... I could be useful..."

In the last moments of his life, thousands of thoughts crossed his mind. He never understood why Luo Lei had been so ruthless.

He, the great elder of Kirigakure, killed without a second thought, without even a chance.

"WHAT!!"

"Genji-sama is... DEAD?!"

"How could he kill the elder just like that?!"

The patriarchs of the clans and other high-ranking leaders of Kirigakure were paralyzed with fear. Their foreheads dripped with sweat as they looked at Luo Lei in disbelief, their bodies trembling at the sight before them.

Was this a joke? The elder of Kirigakure, just dead like that, as if it were nothing?

It couldn't be real!

"Genji-sama, you forged your own fate," Mei said coldly from a distance. Her eyes burned with resentment as she looked at Genji's lifeless body.

"You wanted to keep me under your control, using me as a bargaining chip, a piece for your games. But now, I'm here, by Luo Lei-sama's side. Satisfied, Genji?"

Mei took a deep breath, trying to come to terms with the situation. "So many years of being the dominant elder... It was about time this ended!"

"From now on, there will only be one Mizukage in Kirigakure! No more obsolete elders and fools!" she declared firmly.

The expressions of Kisame, Yagura, Mahoraga, and others changed as they witnessed Genji's murder.

Genji had been an imposing figure in Kirigakure for years, wielding as much power as the Mizukage. His ambitions had been a constant obstacle, a constant struggle for control.

But now, that obstacle was gone.

"The old man is dead..."

"Kirigakure will have a single voice. The voice of the Fourth Mizukage: Mei Terumī!"

"Swish…..swish…"

At that moment, more than a thousand ninjas from the Kirigakure army arrived at the scene. Seeing the shattered bodies of over a hundred Mist ninjas and Genji's headless corpse, their shaky gazes fell on Luo Lei, and their bodies shuddered in terror.

Indeed, they were all the same.

In the face of Luo Lei's absolute power, even the great elder Genji couldn't escape death.

"Any comments?" Luo Lei asked, looking at the remaining high-ranking leaders.

His voice was calm. "If you have any objections, feel free to say them. I promise to consider them carefully..."

For someone like Genji, a parasite who had drained Kirigakure's energy for years, there was no room for mercy.

He had to die.

Mei needed a solid foundation to take control—no obstacles, no conspiracies. Now that the obstacle was gone, the young Mei could rule without resistance.

"No objections, Luo Lei-sama!"

"We have no opinion!"

"We will support Mei Terumī-sama as the Fourth Mizukage without reservation!"

The clan leaders and high-ranking officials of Kirigakure didn't hesitate to nod. They were all experienced politicians who knew when to adapt to survive.

Genji's death? Deep down, many of them had wished for that death for a long time. He had been an obstacle, a constant competitor.

Now, they could dedicate themselves to working in harmony with the new Mizukage, without further intrigue or division.

Oppose? Not a chance!

With Luo Lei there, opposition was a death sentence. It was better to embrace the new reality and live to see another day.

"Hmph..."

Luo Lei nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, Mei!"

"Yes!" Mei took a deep breath, a look of determination crossing her beautiful face as she lifted her head with pride and followed Luo Lei toward Kirigakure.

Every step she took resonated with new conviction, as if she were sealing her place in history.

She would no longer be just a bargaining chip.

Now, she was the Mizukage of Kirigakure, the queen of thousands of people, fully backed by Luo Lei's absolute power.

"The days of Kirigakure have completely changed."

Watching the firm backs of Luo Lei and Mei Terumī, the more than 1,000 Mist ninjas, as well as Yagura, Kisame, Mahoraga, and the others, couldn't help but sigh.

The weight of change was palpable in the air—an irreversible change.

Whether it would be for better or worse, only time would tell.

What happened next was like a carefully orchestrated symphony.

With the backing of a thousand Mist ninja troops, the support of the clans, and the active assistance of Yagura, Kisame, Mahoraga, and others, Kirigakure completed the leadership transition in less than half a day.

The civilians of Kirigakure watched in amazement as the power shift unfolded before their eyes.

However, once they learned that the person backing Mei Terumī was Luo Lei, the God of Ninjas, the civilians seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone understood immediately.

It was no wonder that the young Mei Terumī had managed to rise to the position of Mizukage—she had immense power behind her.

Luo Lei's identity as a Konoha ninja didn't matter much to the civilians of Kirigakure; for them, the only language they understood was that of fists, and having the God of Ninjas in a good relationship with their Fourth Mizukage could only mean good fortune.

By that afternoon.

Mei Terumī held a grand succession ceremony dressed in the Mizukage robes. She stood with the dignity of a true leader, her eyes shining with the determination to transform Kirigakure for the better.

As the special guest, Luo Lei also attended, his presence overshadowing that of anyone else. In his speech, he was straightforward: not only did he proclaim himself the Superhero of Konoha, but also the Superhero of Kirigakure.

"From now on, Kirigakure will be protected by me."

As soon as those words were spoken,

The civilians of Kirigakure erupted in an ovation, celebrating and chanting Luo Lei's name as if he were a savior.

But amid that euphoria, the Mist ninjas who had seen Luo Lei's true side, the clan patriarchs, could only shake their heads with ironic smiles.

For them, those words were more of a veiled warning: the Fourth Mizukage, Mei Terumī, must be respected and obeyed.

Any attempt to challenge her would not be tolerated.

That same night.

The Fourth Mizukage, Mei Terumī, entered the Mizukage's office. She was still wearing her ceremonial attire, her robes unable to hide her curves as she walked.

Luo Lei was resting there…
